Call for Papers: Esoteric Practices: Theories, Representations, and Methods June 19-22, 2014

The Association for the Study of Esotericism
(ASE) is seeking paper and panel proposals for its fifth International North American Conference on Esotericism to be held at Colgate University, in Hamilton, New York.

We are seeking proposals for papers exploring the many dimensions of Western esoteric practices, including theories, representations and methods of practice viewed from cultural, practical, religious and aesthetic fields of inquiry. We encourage papers that address the conference theme in terms of diverse types of representation, including arts and literature, as well as methods that reflect specific theories of esotericism, either historically or in a contemporary context. We invite proposals on magic, alchemy, astrology, ritual practice, mysticism, spiritualism, occultism, hermeticism, neo-paganism, contemporary esoteric movements and teachers, Asian influences on Western traditions, and other relevant topics.  We are also interested in panels specifically on mysticism, contemplative practice, and other topics related to the conference theme. ASE regards esotericism as an interdisciplinary field of research and we invite scholars from all disciplines to share their research and writings in support of a cross-fertilization of perspectives. We welcome scholars from a wide range of areas, including anthropology, American studies, art history, history, intellectual history, religious studies, literature, philosophy, psychology, medieval studies, sociology-the full range of academic disciplines and fields.

Keynote speakers include:

Prof. Jean-Pierre Brach

Prof. Brach holds a Chair at l'École pratique des Hautes Études et in d'Histoire des courants ésotériques dans l'Europe moderne et contemporaine (Sorbonne) succeeding Antoine Faivre in this role.

Prof. Sarah Iles Johnston

Prof. Johnston, Arts and Humanities Distinguished Professor of Religion at Ohio State University, is author of numerous books and articles on Greek and Roman esoteric philosophical-religious traditions.  She is also editor of Religions of the Ancient World (Harvard UP).

Our deadline for panel or paper proposal submission is January 15th 2014.

If you wish to submit a paper proposal or a thematically focused panel proposal (with three presenters and short descriptions included) for review and possible presentation at the conference, please send it by regular email to [log in to unmask]

No attachments, please: simply copy and paste your abstract into plain text email. Individual abstracts should be limited to one or two paragraphs, and must indicate academic affiliation and/or other academic qualifications.
Independent scholars are welcome to submit proposals. Please note that our previous conference was at maximum capacity, so it is best to submit your proposal sooner rather than later.
We hope to post a preliminary list of accepted proposals early in 2014. Possible venues for the publication of conference papers include the book series Studies in Esotericism (this will be the fourth volume in the series).

For more information on the ASE, and registration for the conference, see our website at www.aseweb.org

Colgate University's campus is often included in lists of the "most beautiful college campuses in America." Hamilton Village is a textbook collection of nineteenth-century domestic architecture. The surrounding country is mainly farmland and forest.

As many of you will know, the Upstate region of New York was once a hotbed of eccentric spiritual movements. These included the Shakers, Jemima Wilkinson's community on Keuka Lake, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) in Palmyra and on the Susquehanna River, William Miller's apocalyptic movement (later the Adventists), the Ebenezers near Buffalo, Spiritualism's beginnings in Hydesville, Rochester, and Auburn, John Murray Spear's Harmonia in Kiantone, Thomas Lake Harris's Brotherhood of the New Life in Amenia and Brocton, Paschal Beverly Randolph's early activities in Utica, John Humphrey Noyes's Oneida Community, the Skaneateles Community and other Fourierist groups, Cyrus Teed's Koreshan Unity in Utica and Moravia, the Lily Dale Spiritualist camp, Josephine Cables' Theosophical group in Rochester, the Temple of the People in Syracuse, Elbert Hubbard's Roycroft in East Aurora, and many others. At the same time, the region was a stronghold of the movements for Women's Rights, Abolition, and Freethought, the latter exemplified by Cornell University in Ithaca, the first academic institution in America founded on secular principles.
