postgrad call for papers for 2nd spinoza research network conference
Spinoza and Texts
7-8 April 2010
University of Dundee, Scotland
Speakers include: Dimitris Vardoulakis, Peg Rawes, Nick Nesbitt, Nicholas Halmi
This conference focuses on uses of Spinoza in the arts and humanities, considering Spinoza's influence by and on "texts" construed very broadly. Papers will look at Spinoza in relation to literary, historical, visual, cultural, and critical texts, and evaluate Spinoza's contribution to multiple fields in the history of ideas and contemporary humanities.
POSTGRADUATE CALL FOR PAPERS:
Abstracts are invited from Masters and PhD students for papers of 45-minutes reading time on any topic relevant to the conference theme. This is an interdisciplinary network, and papers looking at Spinoza from a non- (or not strictly) philosophical perspective are welcome. Speakers will have their travel and accommodation expenses covered.
Please send an abstract of around 300 words, along with your name, department, institution, and email address. Deadline: 18 January 2010. (You will be informed of our decision by early Feb.) Email abstracts to Michael Burns at mykeburns[at]gmail.com
Information about registration and travel bursaries for this event will be available soon.
The Spinoza Research Network is hosted at the University of Dundee and funded by the AHRC
