Celebrate the 135
th
Annual Meeting in San Francisco by attending the panel
organized by the Lambda Classical Caucus, “Cross-Dressing in Antiquity:
Art and Text.” This panel seeks to explore not only the poetic and artistic
representations of female or male impersonation, but also the concept of
fluidity in the boundaries between genders as expressed by clothing. Papers
will address specific historical, art historical, and literary issues and will
also attempt to answer larger questions about the stability of gender as
expressed in dress.

Members of the APA are well acquainted with thinking about long
stretches of time and the preservation of memory, but we look back
more readily than we look forward. This panel will introduce a
provocateur of long standing to suggest ways in which we can think
about continuing to do our business for a long time to come. Three
APA members will then offer their own provocations in making
concrete our ideas about some of our futures. Discussion will ensue.

curtail publications in the humanities at the same time as publication

The Society for the Oral Reading of Greek and Latin Literature will
hold its annual informal reading session at the Hilton San Francisco.
This session is an opportunity for any annual meeting registrant to
read aloud a selection of Greek or Latin literature (maximum 35
lines) before an interested and sympathetic audience. The session is
not a contest but is rather a friendly exchange of sounds and ideas
among those interested in the effective oral performance of classical
literature. If the reader so desires, listeners will offer constructive
comments after the reading. All readers are asked to bring 30
photocopies of their texts for distribution. Auditors are cordially
welcome.

The Committee on Ancient and Modern Performance will present a reading
of Thomas Heywood’s play,
The Golden Age. The Golden Age
is the first of
five mythological pageants Heywood presented in Shakespeare’s London,
recounting the course of Greek mythology for his own day. His survey of
the lives of Jupiter and Saturn is filled with Jacobean excess. So come and
let Homer be your guide as fellow APA members recreate the rise of
Jupiter, with all the baby-eating and other romantic misadventures you
could want. This session will be open to the public.
