10th Annual Conference of
The Friedrich Nietzsche Society
University of Durham
England
September 8-10, 2000
The year 2000 marks a number of significant events for those who
study Nietzsche. It is the 10th year of the Friedrich Nietzsche
Society's annual conference, the one hundredth anniversary of the
death of Nietzsche and the beginning of the second century of
Nietzsche's influence. With these things in mind we are advertising
our call for papers for this year's conference which is being hosted
by the Department of Philosophy at the University of Durham,
England, from the 8th through to the 10th of September, 2000.
The title of this year's conference is 'The Tree Fell, But Did Anyone
Hear It?' This title is intended to raise the question of the state of
the interpretation of Nietzsche's work after 100 years of study.
'Nietzsche and Bildung' is our theme. We are attempting to attract
as broad a range of papers as possible. 'Bildung' defines the scope
of our interest. Although, as is well known, there is no single
translation equivalent for Bildung in English, we are directing
prospective contributors to the three areas of culture, education and
society. This guidance has a two-fold purpose. First, we wish to
include as many different disciplines as possible in the conference
and second, we also wish to try to keep contributors as close to
Nietzsche's specific interests as possible. We feel that these form a
core research area that will provide the conference with the variety
and the specificity to make it a rewarding experience for all those
who attend. Many different approaches to the study of Nietzsche
have developed over the past century. Current issues include
Nietzsche and cultural criticism/development, literature, scientific
enquiry (especially genetics), political and social development and
Nietzschean themes in education.
Over the three days of the conference the Society will be holding its
Annual General Meeting and there will be an official conference
dinner on Saturday following the plenary session, which is one of
six to be held over the three days. This is a wonderful opportunity to
take part in a major conference which we hope will mark the
dawning of a new century of Nietzschean studies.
We hope that you will accept our invitation with the kindest regard,
as we feel that this year's conference promises to be a most
rewarding gathering.
