Call for Papers
"Aesthetik und Geschichte bei Herder / Herder's Aesthetics and Historical
Concerns," bi-annual conference of the International Herder Society (IHS),
Rice University, Houston, Texas, September 26-30, 2002.
At its bi-annual conference, the IHS will explore Herder's significant
contributions to aesthetics and his development of a historicist
hermeneutic. Since these are issues of extraordinary significance not just
for Herder studies but for the entire German eighteenth century, the
executive committee of the IHS has determined to invite representative of
parallel scholarly societies to offer several joint sessions at our
meetings. A call for papers has already been sent out to the membership
of the North American Kant Society, and we propose to invite similar
participation by the Goethe and Lessing Societies.
The conference is planned to include some ten working sessions of three to
four speakers each, to be organized thematically based on accepted paper
proposals. The IHS invites any interested scholar to submit a proposal
for a paper that addresses the theme of the conference. Such proposals
should be no more than a page in length and may be submitted in either
German or English to the executive committee of the IHS by February, 2002.
In Europe, paper proposals may be sent to:

conference.
