The Rome Summer School in Latin and History: The Eternal City, from Paganism to Christianity.

Lan205- The Eternal City from Paganism to Christianity is a 200-level (intermediate) intensive course held in Rome over a period of three weeks. Students are required to have a reasonable knowledge of elementary Latin (Lan101 & Lan102 or equivalent) before enrolling in the course. The course is thematic as it aims at introducing students to the linguistic and cultural processes involved in the transition from paganism to Christianity between the I and IV centuries AD through the examination and translation of Christian and pagan texts in their original geographic context. It was in this period that the synthesis between pagan and Christian thought eventuated thus laying the foundations of the Western Tradition. Through the philological examination of texts and excursions to relevant archaeological sites, monuments and museums students will be encouraged to contextualise the texts in their original historical, social and cultural milieu with the aim of developing an awareness and understanding of the problems involved in the translation of texts and terms from an original cultural (pagan to Christian) and linguistic (Latin into English) context into another.

Subject DescriptionThe course will start by examining simple or adapted passages (loci antiqui) from the works of pagan and Christian authors to gradually move to more complex and non adapted passages (loci immutati). Among the authors examined are Seneca, Paul of Tarsus (the Vulgate translation), Augustine of Hippo, Jerome, Apuleius, Ambrose, Ammianus Marcellinus, Namatian. Students will also be introduced to the metric reading of Latin poetry of imperial and late antiquity and to elements of Latin epigraphy.

Learning OutcomesOn completion of the course students will be able to:

a. Demonstrate an understanding of the linguistic and cultural processes marking the transition from pagan to Christian culture between the I and IV centuries AD.

b. Demonstrate an understanding of the problems involved in the translation of Latin texts into English.

c. Demonstrate an understanding of the ‘text variety’ (i.e. relation of language and its social environment; literary genre; author’s style; etc.) of the Latin language.

d. Demonstrate a capacity to engage in philological examination and to contextualise texts in their original historical, social and cultural milieu.

e. Demonstrate an understanding of the evolution of the Latin language in the development of the Roman literary tradition.

f. Demonstrate an understanding of the problems (i.e. pronunciation; grammar) connected with the study of ancient languages.

g. Demonstrate an understanding and knowledge of the phonology, morphology and syntax of the Latin language in particular the rules of subordination and the relation between syntax and semantics.

h. Demonstrate capacity to compose short texts and dialogues in Latin.

i. Have acquired a satisfactory amount of Latin lexicon.

j. Have acquired a understanding of the basic rules governing Latin prosody & metric reading (Hexameter);

k. Demonstrate an understanding of the relation between the morphology, syntax and lexicon of the Latin and the English languages.

Graduate AttributesAll academic programmes of the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Liberal Arts, through their individual assessment tasks, aim at fostering the development of the following graduate attributes:

1. The capacity to think logically, to critically analyse situations and find appropriate solutions to problems;

2. An advanced understanding of the way society has developed and the critical strands of human thinking and activity which have shaped and continue to shape Western culture;

3. The ability to adapt to a wide variety of employment and career opportunities because of enhanced and developed generic attitudes such as independence of thought, critical evaluation, research abilities and communication skills;

4. Advanced writing and presentation skills;

5. Interpersonal and teamwork skills appropriate to employment and/or further study;

6. A capacity and a foundation to self-directed lifelong learning.

The course is articulated in lectures and tutorials. Students will attend two lectures and one tutorial every day (a total of 3 hours), from Monday to Friday, from 9.00 am to 12.30 pm with a 15 minutes break between the two lectures and the lectures and tutorial. Some lectures may be held in the afternoon instead of the morning for technical reasons.

Lectures will focus on the reading, translation and philological examination and explanation of Latin texts. In the course of the reading particular grammatical constructions (syntax and morphology) of the Latin language will be explained.

During tutorials students will engage in a critical discussion of the texts examined during lectures in their historical and cultural context. A tutorial question is set to initiate and guide the discussion along with a selected reading for each tutorial.

Lectures & TutorialsStudents are encouraged to take notes during lectures as no handouts or written summaries of the lectures will be provided. Note taking is an important skill: students need to develop the capacity to listen effectively and condense relevant and meaningful information. The use of laptops is allowed exclusively for the purpose of note taking: students caught misusing their laptop may be asked to cease taking the device to lectures.

Important Information for participants

On successful completion of the subject students will earn 6 credit points. Campion students will not be able to use such credits towards their degree. Students from other institutions will need to check with their home institutions before enrolling in the subject.

Students can pay tuition fees through the FEE-HELP assistance scheme.

The course is open also to students who do not wish to earn credits for the subject, including teachers of Latin who are enrolling for professional development purposes. Although advisable, these students have no obligation to submit the assessments required in order to pass the subject. They will have to attend, however, all lectures, tutorials and excursions scheduled during their stay in Rome, besides complying with the rules governing attendance to the school in matters of academic conduct as set out in the outline, in order to be awarded a ‘Certificate of Participation’.

page 4

The course will be held on the premises of Domus Australia, the state of the art pilgrim centre established by the Archdiocese of Sydney and supported by the Australian Bishops, located in Via Cernaia, 14/B (corner of Via Casteldifidardo & 10 minutes walk from Stazione Termini –Rome’s railway station - near the Terme di Diocleziano), inside the walls of the old city of Rome.

For the duration of the course students will be accommodated at Domus Australia. The rules and regulations concerning proper conduct and behaviour applied to residential students on Campion’s Sydney campus are extended to the residence in Rome.

Early morning masses are available in all churches of Rome every day. Catholic participants, who wish to attend Mass, will be able to do so. They may attend mass at the chapel of St. Peter Chanel at Domus Australia or the nearby churches of St. Maria degli Angeli in Piazza della Republica; St Maria della Vittoria in via XX Settembre, or St. Susanna in Piazza San Bernardo. Students of other denominations or faiths will be assisted in identifying the location of their churches in Rome.

All participants should be fit to travel abroad and, since the course involves excursions to archaeological diggings, to walk long distances in the summer heat. Furthermore, since we shall be visiting some catacombs, such as those under St. Peter’s Basilica, and because it is required to make reservations for entry to some sites, organisers invite students to disclose in confidence, at the

moment of enrolment in the course, any medical condition (heart problems; claustrophobia; etc.) which might affect their participation to such excursions. Alternative excursions will be organised for these participants. All information disclosed on the enrolment form will be treated with the utmost confidentiality in compliance with the Privacy Laws.

All participants must have a valid passport to travel abroad. No visa is required for Australian passport holders in order to enter Italy.

Students will arrive in Rome, on Monday 1st July and will depart from Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (Fiumicino) on Wednesday, 24th July.

The course will start on the 2nd July and end on the 22nd July.

Lectures & Tutorials: Attendance Requirements

Students are urged to attend lectures and tutorials regularly and punctually. Lectures introduce you to the main problems related to the topic and facilitate the comprehension of the reading materials prepared for the tutorial. If for any reason you are unable to attend, please inform the lecturer.

The College’s attendance policy requires that students attend at least 80% of the tutorials and lectures offered in the subject. Students who fail to meet the attendance requirement and do not provide satisfactory explanation for their absence will fail the subject. Attendance in tutorials and lectures cannot fall below 60% of the tutorials offered, even in cases of serious medical or personal difficulties. Students who are afflicted by circumstances that impede their regular attendance should apply for withdrawal from the subject on medical or compassionate grounds.

The maximum mark for students who fail to meet the attendance requirements of the subject or fail to provide a satisfactory explanation is a 44 Fail.

AssessmentIn order to pass the subject students must submit the following assessment items. Failure to submit one or more assessment items will lead to a technical fail in the subject.

page 7

Assessment in DetailAssessment 1:

Essay: Document & Monument

Due date: 31st July 2013

Weighing: 15%

Length: 1000 words

The assessment aims at drawing together the texts examined in class and the excursions to archaeological sites and monuments of the period between the I and IV centuries AD and Museums displaying artefacts of that time. Having selected one of the texts examined in class students will write a 1000 word essay in English in which the text is related to a particular monument, site or artefact. In the essay students should quote relevant Latin passages.

The essay should follow the conventions of history essay writing set out in this subject outline. It should have a synopsis and critical bibliography.

Assessment 2:

Comprehension & Philology

Due date: 12 July 2013

Weighing: 15%

Length: n/a

This assessment aims at testing students’ understanding of the linguistic phenomenon of ‘text variety’ and capacity to engage in philological examination of texts. Philology in fact is not only concerned with the study of language in se et per se but also to establish, interpret and comment upon texts. Consequently it is concerned with literary history, customs, history, culture, etc. Students therefore will need to contextualise the designated passage before translating it into English. In this way they will become aware of the complex problems translators are faced with when having to render a passage originally composed in one language into another. Translation in fact does not consist only in the rendering of verbum e verbo or sensum de sensu but in capturing that subtle meaning, produced by the context, informing a set of statements. Furthermore by engaging in this exercise students will appreciate the changes in meaning of terms in their transition from a pagan to a Christian context.

The passage for this task will be provided by the lecturer.

Assessment 3:

Composition

Due date: 9 July 2013

Weighing: 15%

Length: 300 words

During the course students will engage in the writing of a short composition in Latin of c.300 words. The aim of the assessment is to introduce students to the pragmatics and the text variety (i.e. the relation between language & its social environment; literary genre; style; register; etc.) of the Latin language. Students should avail themselves not only of the texts of classical authors examined so far but also of the knowledge of places visited during the excursions.

The theme of the dialogue is the following:

“Imagine you are a pagan merchant working in the Forum Boarium, the busy Roman market, where you witness the arrest of a Christian with his wife and child by Roman soldiers. Describe the scene and your feelings about the event”.

page 8

Assessment 4:

In Class Test

Due date: 19 July 2013

Weighing: 15%

Duration: 2 hours

In order to verify the progress in the knowledge of Latin grammar, students will sit for an in-class test. The test will consist in the translation of one seen passage and unseen one. The test will be held in place of the lectures.

During the test no materials such as grammars or notes will be allowed in class.

Assessment 5:

Final Exam

Due Date: 22 July 2013

Weighing: 30%

Duration: 2 hours

The exam will consist in the translation of a brief text from Latin into English to test comprehension skills and the ability to engage in philological examination. Two texts, one seen and one unseen, will be provided. More information regarding the exam will be provided towards the end of the course.

Assessment 6:

Participation

Due date: continuing

Weighing: 10%

Length: n/a.

Tutorials are the ideal space for students to ask for clarifications and explanations regarding the grammatical rules presented during lectures and the ideal time to test comprehension skills. Students will in comprehension and composition activities designed by the tutor.

These activities will have a great bearing in determining your participation mark.

Submission of Assignments: (Student Handbook 3.2.5)

Assessment items must be completed by the due date and submitted to the Subject Coordinator before 4.30 p.m. on the due date. For assessments which are due after the end of the school, non Campion students should submitted these by e-mail on the due date before 4.30 pm to the student administrator at the following e-mail address s.solomon@campion.edu.au. Campion students should follow the normal submission rules by using the assessment submission box located in the Campion Library.

The College provides a cover sheet that must be attached to the front of all assessable items including electronic submissions. Cover sheets can be downloaded from the Campion College Website under ‘Current Students – Students Forms and Documents’. The student should indicate on the cover sheet the Assessment Task and Assignment Title (the latter if applicable). Assessment items without cover sheet will not be accepted.

Unless otherwise indicated by the subject coordinator, you will need to submit a hard copy and submit an electronic copy through the Learning Centre’s intranet site on the due date. Your mark will not be processed if you do not submit an electronic copy of your work.

Please note that failure to complete assignments in time or late submission of work without a valid reason will be penalised as indicated in the Student Handbook, which means that you will lose 10% of the total grade for the assessment for each day late for the first ten days after submission date. Assignments submitted after the tenth day, which have no approval for late submission, will not be accepted.

Copies of work submitted

Students must always retain copies of all work submitted for this course.

Special Considerations & ExtensionsExtensions will not normally be granted to students on the day on which an assessment item is due. Extensions should be applied for only in exceptional circumstances and at least 24 hours in advance of the due date.

In case of sickness or circum-stances warranting compassionate extension, the Subject Coordinator must be informed and may determine that an extension of time is permitted. In cases of sickness, a medical certificate (or copy) may be required.

In case of compassionate consideration (bereavement, family sickness, etc.) the student may also wish to inform the Chaplain of the situation. An Approval of Extension Form must be completed and submitted with the assessment

item and conditions may apply to extensions of more than 24 hours.

Supplementary or deferred assessment may be granted to a student only in circumstances prescribed by the Academic Board.

Any student unable to take an examination at the published time must apply to the Registrar for permission to sit for the exam during the supplementary exam period.

essay stripped of evidence and supporting material. It should not tell the reader what the essay is bout and should never begin “In this essay….”. You merely need to introduce the reader to your work without giving away too much of its contents. A synopsis should not run more than 250 words and must be written in continuous prose, not in note form. The synopsis should always be placed at the beginning of your essay.

Essay WritingAn essay is an exercise in presenting your argument within a prescribed length and with evidence to support it. It requires you to assess and weigh evidence taken from both primary and secondary sources. It is neither a narrative nor a chronology and should not consist of a series of quotations or paraphrased passages from various sources. Essays should draw on both primary and secondary sources. Primary sources are those sources produced by participants and personal observers of the events being studied or are unpublished manuscripts. These could be letters, official records, newspaper articles, diary entries, etc. Secondary sources are those written by people after the event, for instance historians. It is easier to approach the essay topic by reading first the available

secondary sources along with more general texts on the topic. This will help you in identifying and interpreting primary sources.

An essay has three major components: the synopsis, the main body (consisting of introduction, argument and conclusion) and the annotated bibliography.

Synopsis/Abstract

The synopsis is a brief abstract of the argument mounted in the essay. It is the bare bones of your

Annotated Bibliography

The bibliography should include all the works consulted for the essay, irrespective of whether they appear in the footnotes or not. Entries should be arranged alphabetically and they should be annotated. The method of citation differs from that of the footnotes since it includes all publishing details as follows:

• For books: surname & initial/s or given name of author or editor, book title (italicised), volume number/s (where relevant), edition (where relevant), publisher, place & date of publication. For example:

Briggs, R., Witches and Neighbours: The Social and Cultural Context of European Witchcraft, Fontana, London, 1997.

• For Journal articles: surname/s & initial/s or given name of the author/s; title of the article (in inverted commas), journal title (italicised), volume number (where relevant), issue number (where relevant), date of publication and page numbers. For instance:

Delacroix, J., and Nielsen, F., ‘The Beloved Myth: Protestantism and The Rise of Industrial Capitalism in Nineteenth Century Europe’, Social Forces, 80, 2, 2001, pp. 509-553.

• For internet sources: surname/s, initial/s, title italicised and URL address.

Annotations for each work should be brief and should demonstrate that you have read the title in question. This means that you need to be specific about the contents and usefulness of the text to your research/argument.

page 11

Essay Writing ConventionsFootnotes: How to cite sources

Books referred to for the first time in footnotes must be cited in the following way:

Surname of author, short title of the book (in italics), page number. For example:

Briggs, Witches and Neighbours, p. 67.

If you are citing from a chapter in a book compiled by an editor you should cite it as follows: Surname of author, chapter title in inverted commas, editors surname, short book title (in italics), page number. For example:

Murray, ‘The Industrialisation of War’, in Parker (ed.), The Cambridge History of Warfare, p. 219.

Articles referred to for the first time must be cited as follows: surname of author, short title in inverted commas, title of journal in italics, volume and issue numbers, date, page number. For example:

Delacroix, J., and Nielsen, F., ‘The Beloved Myth: Protestantism and The Rise of Industrial Capitalism in Nineteenth Century Europe’, Social Forces, 80, 2, 2001, pp. 509-553.

Primary sources should be directly quoted. For instance:

Sydney Morning Herald, 8 January 1856.

Electronic Sources: sources from the internet should include the author’s surname, brief title in italics and the beginnings of the address. Full details should be provided in the bibliography.

It might happen hat in your essay you will need to reference several times the same source. Where a footnote is exactly the same as the preceding one, it is sufficient

to write ibid. (the abbreviation of the Latin adverb ibidem, meaning ‘in the same place’). If the page of the citation varies you will need however to indicate the page number after ibid.

When a footnote refers to a source already quoted after a number of intervening references, simply provide the author’s name followed by op.cit. (the abbreviation of the Latin opus citatus, ‘the cited work’). For example:

Blainey, The Tyranny of Distance, p.7. ibid., p. 10.

Kinealy, This Great Calamity, p. 36. Blainey, op.cit., p. 12.

Please Note: For further information and assistance please refer to the Referencing Guide, produced by the College Librarian, and available at the Library. Please contact the College Librarian Ms. Angela Kolar (a.kolar@campion.edu.au).

Academic MisconductCampion College regards academic honesty and integrity as the foundation of teaching, learning, research and scholarship. The College requires its academic staff and students to observe the highest possible standards in all aspects of academic work. The College expects students to avoid any action or behaviour that may give them an academic advantage to which they are not entitled or which will bring the College’s academic processes into disrepute. Accordingly, the College regards academic misconduct as a serious matter. Academic misconduct may be referred to by many terms, such as academic dishonesty, and examples include plagiarism, collusion and cheating.

1. Existing College Documents The Campion College Student Rules and the Student Charter

are key documents which outline the expectations of the College relating to academic misconduct.

1.1 Excerpts from the Student Rules: Academic dishonesty

30.1. A student must not act in a manner which constitutes academic dishonesty.

30.2. Academic dishonesty means an action or practice which may compromise or defeat the purposes of assessment, and includes, but is not limited to -

(a) cheating, or attempting to cheat;

(b) plagiarism;

(c) misrepresenting or fabricating data or results or other assessable work;

(d) assisting or attempting to assist any other student to cheat or act dishonestly in any way;

(e) breaching requirements specified by the Academic Board under Student Rule 32 for conduct during examinations, in a way that may compromise or defeat the purposes of the assessment.

30.3. The Academic Board may prescribe procedures for investigating allegations of academic dishonesty.

30.4. The penalties for academic dishonesty are -

(a) mark reduction or zero mark for an assessment item; or

(b) awarding of a failing grade in the subject in which academic dishonesty is detected; or

(c) awarding of a failing grade in the subject in which academic dishonesty is detected and in another subject or all other subjects undertaken in that teaching period; or

(d) suspension from the College for a specified period of time, together with the allocation of failing grades specified in Student Rule 30.4.(c); or

(e) exclusion from the College for a specified period of time, together with the allocation of failing grades specified in Student Rule 30.4.(c); or

(f) permanent expulsion from the College, together with the allocation of failing grades specified in Student Rule 30.4.(c).

30.5. The Dean of Studies may impose the penalties listed in Student Rule 30.4.(a), 30.4.(b) and 30.4.(c).

30.6. The Registrar may impose any of the penalties listed in Student Rule 30.4.

3.1 Plagiarism

Plagiarism is an area of specific concern within the higher education sector due to the perceived growth of its use, through either deliberate intention or poor academic practice. Further detail is therefore provided within this policy to ensure students are fully aware of what would be considered plagiarism, and the necessity to avoid plagiarism by appropriately acknowledging the work of others.

Plagiarism involves submitting or presenting someone else’s words, ideas or findings as if they were the student’s own work. By plagiarising, the original scholar’s ownership of their ideas and research – their intellectual property – has been ignored. Failure to give due acknowledgement is the equivalent of stealing.

Academic Misconduct (continued)

1.2 Selected points from the Student Charter: Student responsibilities

• to acquaint themselves with College policies and procedures relevant to their enrolment and course of study and obey the rules of the College

• to conduct themselves in a professional manner, and to maintain the highest standards of ethical behaviour in their interactions with others

• to refrain from cheating, plagiarism, fabrication or falsification of data and unauthorised use of facilities and equipment

Plagiarism will include:

• directly copying sentences, paragraphs or other extracts from any source without indicating this by quotation marks or by indentation, italics or spacing and without acknowledging that source by footnote or citation; or

• rephrasing ideas from any source without acknowledging the source of those ideas by footnotes or citations.

Sources include but are not limited to books, journals, study notes, tapes, the Internet, and the work of other students or a tutor.

Plagiarism is to be distinguished from inadequate and/or inappropriate attempts to acknowledge the words, works or ideas of someone else, as for example when a student makes a genuine attempt to reference their work, but has very poor referencing skills.

Inadvertent plagiarism occurs when a student plagiarises, however clearly did not have the intention to deceive. This may occur through inappropriate application or use of material without reference to the original source or author.

Inadvertent plagiarism may occur through inexperience or lack of understanding by new students and presents an opportunity to educate students about the appropriate academic conventions in their field of study.

Deliberate plagiarism occurs when a student plagiarises with the intention to deceive. Deliberate acts of plagiarism are a serious breach of academic standards of behaviour for which severe penalties will be imposed. Assisting another student to plagiarise may also result in disciplinary action, such as providing another student with any piece of academic work so that it can be plagiarised by them. Note that discussions between students regarding assessment tasks and approaches that may be taken are seen as constructive elements of the learning process. Care should be taken to ensure that assessment tasks are written independently to ensure plagiarism is avoided.

If students are uncertain of appropriate referencing procedures, they should contact the Learning Centre or a member of academic staff for assistance.
