Subject: 1997 ISHR Conference, Canada
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE HISTORY OF RHETORIC - CALL FOR PAPERS
ELEVENTH BIENNIAL CONFERENCE, SASKATOON, CANADA, 22-26 JULY 1997
THE GRECO-ROMAN RHETORICAL TRADITION: ALTERATIONS, ADAPTATIONS, ALTERNATIVES
"The Greco-Roman Rhetorical Tradition: Alterations, Adaptations,
Alternatives" will be the theme of the Eleventh Biennial Conference of
the International Society for the History of Rhetoric at the University
of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada, 22-26 July 1997.
The focus on "Alterations" and "Adaptations" recognizes that the
art of rhetoric has emerged and changed with the societies that have
produced the Greco-Roman tradition of discourse or adapted it to new
institutional and cultural conditions and uses throughout its history.
The focus on "Alternatives" acknowledges other discourses that have
challenged and continue to challenge the Greco-Roman tradition wherever
Europeans have transplanted it throughout the world.
Proposals for 20-minute papers in English, French, German,
Italian or Spanish should be submitted by 9 February 1996 to the ISHR
President. Please contact her for a form:

A seminar on "Women and the Rhetorical Tradition" will be
organized by Professor Christine Sutherland. Scholars wishing to
contribute on this topic should submit proposals directly to her by the
deadline of 9 February 1996. Since the Society may publish proceedings
of this seminar, participants will be asked to circulate completed papers
in the autumn of 1996. Contact:

The Society will be applying for a modest conference grant to
assist the travel of participants who cannot otherwise attend. Graduate
students, independent scholars, and other scholars who expect inadequate
government/institutional support should enclose with their proposals a
brief explanation of their circumstances and a realistic budget. Support
subsequently awarded by other sources must be reported immediately to
Professor Henderson.
The International Society for the History of Rhetoric promotes
the study of both the theory and practice of rhetoric in all periods and
languages and the relationship of rhetoric to poetics, literary theory
and criticism, philosophy, politics, religion, law, and other aspects of
the cultural context. The Society is not concerned with the furthering
of practical rhetorical skills as such.
