Deadline for abstracts: 31 July 2016 Date & Place: 15-16 March 2017 – Villa Lana, Prague Language: English Organizers: Eliyana Adler (Pennsylvania State University), Kateřina Čapková (Institute for Contemporary History, Czech Academy of Sciences) and Ruth Leiserowtz (German Historical Institute, Warsaw)
Please send the abstract of your paper (500 words) and a short bio by 31 July 2016 to all of the conference organizers: era12@psu.edu, capkova@usd.cas.cz, and leiserowitz@dhi.waw.pl. Results will be announced by the end of August 2016.
My current research aims at appraising the history of world congresses of philosophy between 1900 and 1940, and the way European philosophers strove to translate and exchange their concepts. I am taking into consideration these fifty years through which European philosophers attempted to create a transnational community, and a common vocabulary and language. This case study is not limited to the texts and their content, but also encompasses the social, technical and economical aspects of this endeavour to spread concepts. This phenomenon implies a complex dynamic not undevoided of struggles engaging several actors (such as the authors, the societies, magazines, governments and so forth), which unfold both in the national and the international space.
