First Circular
Dear Colleague,
It gives us much pleasure to inform you that the 13th International
Congress of Turkish Art will take place in Budapest, at the Hungarian
National Museum, from 3 September to 8 September 2007. The organisers
would like the principal theme of the Congress to be the relationship
between Turkish and European art. Especially welcome will be those
lectures that deal with little-known or so far unpublished Turkish
collections held by European museums. They ask participants wishing to
give lectures to submit abstracts on any of the following topics (grouped
under three headings):
I. Turkish Art in Europe up to the 20th Century
a) Trade and Art
b) Modern Turkish Art and Architecture
c) Turkish Art Collections in Europe
d) Interactions
II. Auxiliary Sciences
a) Archaeology
b) Epigraphy
c) Numismatics
III. Military Architecture
Fortresses and Fortress-Sites
The language of the Congress: The Hungarian Organising Committee requests
those participants delivering lectures to do so where possible in English
or in Turkish. Abstracts may be submitted in English, Turkish, French, or
German. All lectures given in a language other than English should be
fully translated into English and a copy of the translation submitted to
the Hungarian Organising Committee. Simultaneous interpretation will not
be available at the Congress.
Invitations to lecture: In view of the great interest that is expected,
the International Organising Committee reserves the right to decide on the
lectures to be given. Invitations to lecture will be issued on the basis
of the abstracts submitted. Adjudication will take place using the blind
evaluation method. Those submitting abstracts will be informed of the
International Organising Committee?s decision at the time the Second
Circular is sent out, in any event by 15 February 2007. Those wishing
simply to attend the Congress (i.e. not to deliver a lecture) should
notify the Hungarian Organising Committee of their intention to do so by
15 January 2007.
Timetable: Abstracts of not more than 1 page and 2000 characters (but not
less than half a page and 1000 characters) should reach the Hungarian
Organising Committee by 30 September 2006. They may be sent either on
paper or electronically.
Registration Fee: This will be ?40, to be paid on arrival at the
Congress. Details will be given in the Second Circular.
Travel and accommodation costs: All travel costs and all accommodation
costs must by paid by the participants. In the Second Circular, the
Congress?s Hungarian Organising Committee will advise participants of the
various kinds of accommodation available. It will attempt to offer as wide
a selection as possible, including, for those still at university,
accommodation in student halls of residence. Young researchers up to the
age of 35 years may request financial support in the form of Max van
Berchem scholarships, to be provided by the Max van Berchem Foundation in
Geneva. These scholarships will be awarded by the International Organising
Committee; applications should be submitted to the Secretary of the
Hungarian Organising Committee, who will then pass them on.
Correspondence and abstracts: The Hungarian Organising Committee will be
pleased to answer any questions you may have in connection with the
Congress. The addresses for all correspondence and for abstracts are given
below.
