SUMMARY:Figurational Sociology: The Critical Potential of a European Approach to American Studies
DESCRIPTION:Do scholars in Europe approach American Studies differently than their colleagues in the US?  Looking at the history and culture of the United States from a distance\, they indeed show a tendency to ask uncommon questions.  European perspectives onto America may also derive from intellectual traditions rooted in specific national schools of thought.  A typical European approach\, e.g. French structuralism\, may travel swiftly across the Atlantic and become an integral part of American academia.  In other cases\, there is notable resistance to certain ideas or methods.  The talk will present a socio-historical approach well-known in Europe and widely neglected in the United States: the method of figurative or processual sociology\, as derived from the theories of the German-Jewish cultural historian Norbert Elias and the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu.  Professor Buschendorf will discuss key concepts of this approach – such as “(de)civilizing processes\,” “habitus\,” “established and outsiders\,” or “(symbolic) power” –with regard to their implied notions of the relationship between individuals and society.  Jesse Hill Ford’s almost forgotten novel The Liberation of Lord Byron Jones (1965)\, which highlighted violent eruptions of racial tensions in a small town in Tennessee in the early sixties\, will provide a concrete example of both the conceptual advantages of the figurational approach and the reasons for its neglect.

SUMMARY:Saving the Hero: Or\, Why Virgil Was No Plagiarist
DESCRIPTION:The fundamental role that imitation played in Latin literature lies beyond any doubt.  Ancient readers\, however\, did not deem every act of textual adaptation acceptable\, and in fact relegated some to the category of plagiarism.  In addition\, disagreements recurrently arose in Latin literary history regarding whether an author had licitly imitated a source or had illicitly stolen from it.  One writer whose reuse of models occasioned such controversy was the poet Virgil. This paper examines an ancient defense of Virgil against plagiarism charges that appears in Macrobius’ Sat. 6.1.1-7.  My aims are to explore how the speaker\, Furius Albinus\, understands both plagiarism and its legitimate counterpart\, imitation; to use Albinus’ apology as a springboard for investigating approaches to plagiarism elsewhere in Latin antiquity; and to examine what was at stake in the debate\, so that insights might emerge into how plagiarism was stigmatized and punished in an age before copyright.\nScott McGill is an assistant professor of Classics at Rice University in Houston\, Texas.  His book\, Virgil Recomposed: The Mythological and Secular Centos in Antiquity (APA Monograph Series\, Oxford University Press) was published in 2005.  His current book project is entitled Plagiarism in Classical Latin Literature.  Professor McGill is also co-editing a volume of essays entitled The Roman Empire from the Tetrachy to Theodosius II: Politics\,Society\, Culture\, Religion for Cambridge University Press\, with Cristiana Sogno and Edward Watts. \nThis talk is sponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center Ancient Borderlands Research Focus Group.
