> This conference will debate these key concepts as they are defined and
> challenged within societies and cultures of all periods and regions. Such
> debates are also of interest to related disciplines and the organisers see
> this as an opportunity to draw together historians and other scholars to
> debate a range of historiographical and methodological issues. Proposals
> are invited debating definitions, continuities and discontinuities between
> such concepts, across societies, cultures, geographical locations and
> periods. Themes may include:
>
> Religions and their moral codes, including concepts of Heaven, Hell and
> Purgatory
> Images of vice and virtue in the arts; literary and other print depictions
> ** Justice and legal codes as upholders of vice and virtue.
> Aids to the development of vice and virtue in societies or individuals,
> including climate, location, and tradition
> Industry and idleness work and play, and time management
> ** Income management, personal and corporate: social and employment behaviour
> codes
> Nations and nationalism - race, gender and class as symbols or signifiers
> ** Sex and celibacy: private and public, including the home as the location
of
> virtue or vice
> ** Appearance and conspicuous consumption, including shopping; luxury, and
> pricing
