Please join us for our final CCANESA/Classics and Ancient History online research seminar for Semester One! Our schedule of fortnightly seminars will conclude on Thursday the 4th of June at 4 for 4:15pm with a paper from Ms. Alyce Cannon (University of Sydney). Alyce will be presenting a most interesting talk on her current PhD research, titled: ?Transitional Friends: Dogs, Choes, and the Iconography of Attachment.? Please find the paper?s abstract and a select bibliography below. If you have not yet done so, please register your interest for the talk here: https://sophi-events.sydney.edu.au/calendar/cah-04-june-2020/ Registered attendees will receive Zoom event details and any pre-circulating materials by email 24 hours prior to the event ? please be sure to register by this time. We very much look forward to seeing you as we bring our research community together in this online space! For any further information or questions, please contact us at ccanesa.general at sydney.edu.au Abstract Contemporary perspectives on dogs in Greek thought have generally concentrated on their negative symbolic meaning. This is because kuon and cognates are occasionally used pejoratively in Homeric epic (see Franco 2014). This paper offers a different facet of the history of the human-dog relationship. I argue that the ways Greeks represented their relationships with dogs suggests something more nuanced and intimate: an interwoven partnership and shared history. More than just irrational animals, bloodthirsty scavengers, or less-than-human, dogs were rather so important and ubiquitous in daily life that they played a key role in how wider relationships were generally articulated. This paper sets out to show that dogs actively influenced Greek thinking about society and the articulation of wider human/human and human/animal relationships. To this end, I will offer an iconographic survey of encounters between small and fluffy Melitan dogs and Athenian boys on Athenian miniature red-figure wine-jugs (choes) manufactured between 425-375 BCE for the Anthesteria festivities. Inspired by Donna Haraway?s notion that, ?dogs and people figure a universe? (Haraway 2003: 21), I ask what it was about this breed that made it an especially popular and beloved household dog and explore how interactions between boys and Melitans play out on the historically-specific choes. In particular, I will direct the focus to the body language and gesture of the dogs to show that they were rendered in nuanced and expressive ways. I propose that the iconography positions the dog not just as a symbol but as a cherished friend in a mutually constitutive relationship. Through this case study, I hope to start a conversation about how dogs played important but often overlooked roles in the social and personal lives of Athenians, and influenced the ways they navigated and expressed their close and complex relationships with animals.

Likewise, there are better and worse ways to blame yourself. And though there is an ever-expanding literature on the norms that govern our blaming practices, relatively little attention has been paid to the norms that govern expressions of self-blame. In this talk, I?ll argue that when we blame ourselves, we ought not do so privately. Rather, we should, ceteris paribus, express our self-blame to those we?ve wronged. I then explore how this norm can contribute to our understanding of the ethics of blame as well as the nature of blameworthiness itself.Time - Wednesday May 27, 15:30 AESTLocation - ZOOM!
