Italy, July 2004
Dear Colleague,
I am writing to you now on behalf of the Conference Organising
Committee, to inform you of the:
SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NEW DIRECTIONS IN THE HUMANITIES
Monash University Centre, Prato (near Florence), Tuscany, Italy, 20-23
July 2004 CONFERENCE THEME: FUTURE, HUMAN
http://www.HumanitiesConference.com
The Conference aims to develop an agenda for the humanities in an era
otherwise dominated by scientific, technical and economic rationalisms.
What is the role of the humanities in thinking the shape of the future
and the human? Anthropology, Archaeology, Classics, Communication,
English, Fine Arts, Geography, Government, History, Journalism,
Languages, Linguistics, Literature, Media Studies, Philosophy, Politics,
Sociology or Religion - these are just some of the many disciplines
represented at the Humanities Conference. The focus of papers ranges
from the finely grained and empirical to the expansive and theoretical.
Held at the University of the Aegean in Rhodes, the First International
Conference on New Directions in the Humanities in July 2003, attracted
500 scholars from 15 countries.
The conference this year is being hosted by the Monash University Centre
in Prato and the Monash Institute for the Study of Global Movements, in
association with the Globalism Institute at RMIT, Melbourne. The Centre
is located in the eighteenth century Palazzo Vaj in the historic centre
of Prato - 30 minutes by train from Florence, and 15 minutes from the
Florence International Airport.
The conference will include major keynote presentations by
internationally renowned speakers and numerous small-group workshop and
paper presentation sessions. Participants are also welcome to submit
presentation proposals, either as 30 minute papers, 60 minute workshops
or jointly presented 90 minute colloquium sessions. Presenters may
choose to submit written papers for publication before or after the
conference in the fully refereed International Journal of the
Humanities, published in print and electronic formats. For those unable
to attend the conference in person, virtual registrations are available,
which provide access to the online edition of the conference
proceedings. Virtual participants can also submit papers for refereeing
and publication in the International Journal of the Humanities.
The deadline for the first round call for papers is 31 October 2003.
Full details of the conference, including an online call for papers
form, are to be found at the conference website.
We do hope you will be able to join us in Tuscany in July 2004.
Yours Sincerely,
Prof. Tom Nairn
The Globalism Institute,
RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia [log in to unmask]
