5. OTHER AUSTRALIAN CONFERENCES
AUSTRALIAN EARLY MEDIEVAL ASSOCIATION
Fourth Annual Conference:
CONVERSION AND CULTURAL TRANSFORMATION
Wednesday 26 to Friday 28 September 2007
University of Sydney
http://home.vicnet.net.au/~medieval/THE AUSTRALIAN EARLY MEDIEVAL ASSOCIATION: The Australian Early Medieval Association encourages and supports the study of the early medieval period by facilitating the exchange of ideas and information amongst members. By sharing information and insights across the disciplines, progress and interest in the field of early medieval research can be ensured, particularly in Australia where access to experts in the field and to sources can be difficult to negotiate. The aim is to provide a network of specialists and scholars in this area of research, who may act as a source of feedback, information and advice to other scholars and students. As membership of the Association grows, formal networks and mentoring arrangements may be established, particularly amongst postgraduate students and early career researchers.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Papers relating to matters of conversion and cultural transformation in all disciplines and geographic areas are invited. The Association will also be pleased to accept submissions on any other area of early medieval research. Submissions should be sent to the Conference convenor, Dr Carole Cusack.
Submissions should take the form of an abstract of no more than 200 words for a 20-minute paper (followed by 10 minutes of question time). Abstracts should be forwarded to the conference convenor by 30 June 2007. Please include affiliation, contact details and a preliminary indication of any audio-visual requirements with your abstract.
Please circulate.

Language, Script, and Acculturation in Graeco-Roman Egypt: An umbrella research program, lead by Drs Malcolm Choat and Trevor Evans, uniting projects (including those listed below) focusing on cultural interaction of the classical and Egyptian worlds in the Graeco-Roman period.
Religious authority and linguistic change in late antique Egypt: non-elite perspectives on the rise of monasticism in contemporary documents: ARC-funded project dealing with the rise of monasticism, seen from the point of view of the Christian Laity, and especially though contemporary documents on papyrus in Greek and Coptic.
The Archive of Apa Johannes: A re-edition one of the most extensive bilingual (Greek and Coptic) monastic archives on papyrus in from fourth century CE Egypt.

______________________________Dr Brian Croke, Catholic Education Commission

1. Byzantine humour
A detailed study of Byzantine humour which will analyse all humorous and satirical works written in Greek between AD 527 and 1453 and examine their common themes and preoccupations, placing them firmly within their social context. All evidence for humorous response to intentional and unintentional humour will also be examined to find out exactly what made the Byzantines laugh and why. The project will establish that humour was manifested throughout Byzantine society at all social levels and firmly underpinned entertainment at court and in the street.
2. A biography of the Empress Zoe
______________________________Dr Andrew Gillett, Department of Ancient History, Macquarie University
Communication and Media in the Post-Imperial World: examines the nature and function of dossiers of diplomatic communication throughout the early medieval West and Byzantium, compiled in the sixth and seventh centuries; including a translation of two early medieval multi-authored letter collections.
Understanding the Barbarian in Late Antiquity: examines the traditions of classical ethnography in Late Antiquity, their influence on sixth-century sources, and how they have shaped modern constructs of the period.
______________________________Dr Patrick Gray, Trinity College History Department, Toronto School of Theology
A book tentatively entitled Claiming the Mantle of Cyril, exploring the attempts of various rival factions in the period 433 through 553 to construe the authority of Cyril , standard of orthodoxy, as validating their positions.
A book on the Fifth Ecumenical Council, tracing its vorleben, addressing the numerous issues as to its actions, and following the tortured nachleben of its acts and its reputation and authority.

Analytical survey of all of the sources concerning John's life from 370-1000 CE and deconstruction of a number of widely accepted images of him, showing how our current view of John is based to a large extent on an uncritical adoption of the propaganda of his supporters.(with P. Allen) The Churches of Syrian Antioch (300-638 CE).
Analytical survey of all of the evidence for sites of worship in and around Syrian Antioch (literary and material), arranged alphabetically according to church, followed by a study of their use and development and the influence of political, economic and religious factors on their constructon, with maps and plates.

Poverty and Welfare in Late Antiquity
In this project a recently proposed model (Peter Brown, 2002) of the relationship between poverty and leadership at a time of social change is subjected to scrutiny by focusing on three key figures in a defined period across a sample geographic spread: John Chrysostom (Syria), Augustine (North Africa), and Leo I (Italy). The results will be published in a number of articles and three monographs. The chief investigators are Prof
Pauline Allen (on Augustine), Dr Wendy Mayer (on John Chrysostom) and Dr Bronwen Neil (on Pope Leo I), from the Centre for Early Christian Studies, ACU. From 2006?2008, the ARC has funded the employment of several post-doctoral members of the Centre on the project as senior research associates: Dr Silke Trzcionke, Dr Geoffrey Dunn, Dr Anna Silvas and (from late 2007) Dr Edward Morgan.
______________________________Prof. Alanna Nobbs, Department of Ancient History, Macquarie University
Current projects include completion of the team-research project Papyri from the Rise of Christianity in Egypt.

A book tentatively entitled The Social Identity of the Ascetic Master in Late Roman Christianity. I want to observe where ascetics operated, in what guise, and in relation to whom. I explore the notion that 'ascetic' is a label that can be applied well beyond the apparently 'monastic' sphere: it is the content of a person's address that matters, more than his (or her) 'professional' guise. I believe, moreover, that ascetics should be defined most clearly by a teaching role, and that anyone found teaching or recommending (and exemplifying) a radical life of reflective virtue can be termed an 'ascetic'. Nevertheless, there was competition among such 'masters', both for audiences and for claims to authentic formation.
