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will be those lectures that deal with little-known or so far unpublished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.
