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:
Professor Gerhard Sauder
Universitaet des Saarlandes
Fachrichtung 4.1 Germanistik
Postfach 151150
66041 Saarbruecken

The executive committee will review all proposals and send out
invitations as shortly after the submission date as is feasible, in
order to allow for the arrangement of schedules and the pursuit of
funding to attend the conference.
