CfP: th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ONSCIENCE & LITERATURE
Following
the successful three International Conferences on Science and Literature which
took place in Athens, Poellau and Paris, this Conference is the fourth to be
organized under the aegis of the Commission on Science and Literature
DHST/IUHPST. The fourth International Conference will be organized by the Càtedra
Dr. Bofill de Ciències I Humanitats (Dr Bofill Chair on Science and the
Humanities) integrated at the University of Girona (UdG) with the technical
support of the Commission on Science and Literature. The conference includes
communications with public lectures (we are glad to announce that our list of
keynote speakers includes the prestigious scholar, Simon J. Schaffer, from the
University of Cambridge).
As it was the case with the first three Conferences,
the fourth one does not have a specific theme, as its intent continues to be
the creation of an open forum for all scholars interested in Science and
Literature. Nevertheless, the Conference will be organized along thematic
sessions. Those proposed by the Organizing Committee are:
·
Science
in Western Art
·
Literature
and Medicine
·
Science
and Religion
·
Poetry
and Science
·
Scientific
Genres in Science Fiction
·
Mathematics,
Physics and Literature
·
Women in the History of Science, Philosophy and
Literature
Other themes, according to the papers accepted by the
Scientific Committee, can be organized.
Proposals for individual papers or panels of three or
four papers should be submitted until March 15th, 2020, with an
extension deadline from previous CfP. They must include the title of the paper
(or the theme of the panel), name and affiliation of the author(s), an abstract
of no more than 350 words and a short CV. An international scientific committee will review
the submissions and notice of acceptance will be sent at mid-March 2020. Participants
will have the opportunity to submit their paper to be considered for
publication in a special issue of Interdisciplinary Science Reviews.
Juan Ortega will be the chair of the Local Organizing
Committee.
