CALL FOR PAPERS
“The European Mind: Narrative and Identity”
Malta, 24 - 29 July 2006
We live in an age of mass production of narratives. The prophecy of the
European thinkers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, prescribing a
paradigm for the creation of narrative, has become a reality. The result of
the mass production of narratives is the leveling of all narratives, posing
a challenge to authority. One 'grand narrative' after another is discarded,
leaving the European mind longing for a unifying narrative that crystallizes
the European identity.
The 10th international conference of ISSEI, to be held in Malta in 2006,
invites scholars from various disciplines such as History, Politics,
Literature, Arts, Philosophy, and Religion to examine the European Identity
and the multiplicity of narratives in the age of globalization.
The deadline to submit a proposal for the workshop: »Women`s Narratives in
American Ethnic Literatures: The European Connection« is 15 April 2006.
We look forward to seeing you in Malta in 2006.
Ezra Talmor, ISSEI, co-Chair Henry Frendo, Univerity of Malta, Co-Chair
