Cfp: 4th International Conference on Science & Literature Girona 2020

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. 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 from December 1st, 2019, until February 29th, 2020. 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 the beginning of March 2020. 

Juan Ortega will be the chair of the Local Organizing Committee. 

Registration: March 1st to May 30th, 2020 
Registration fees (include coffee, tea, refreshments and Conference material): 100 Euros
