The 11th International Conference of the International Society for the Study
of European Ideas (ISSEI) will be held from 28 July to 2 August 2008, at the
University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland. See http://issei2008.haifa.ac.il/
for the conference website, with details on ISSEI, the conference program
and links to registration and information on accommodation. The overall
conference topic for 2008 is Language and the Scientific Imagination.
The conference is organised around individual workshops (panels) across a
wide range of subject areas and disciplines. Within the section covering
Art, Theater, Literature, Culture, Music, I am organising a panel on
Scientific / empirical studies of theatre, literature and the arts
In this workshop / panel, we explore examples of completed, ongoing or
planned research projects in which a phenomenon of theatre, literature or
the arts has been / will be subjected to investigation employing the
methodology of science. An example is an empirical psychological study
(using questionnaires and measures of saliva cortisol, heart rate and
breathing frequency) comparing two different approaches to helping stage
actors overcome excessive stage fright. We will discuss what these examples
can tell us about the efficacy of science in allowing us to arrive at a
better understanding of phenomena on theatre, literature and the arts.
Please send abstracts of existing, ongoing or planned projects that meet the
remit of the above workshop description and brief CVs to the me, preferably
