THE 10th INTERNATIONAL
CONFERENCE OF
 ISSEI
International Society for the Study of European Ideas
organized in cooperation with
University of Malta, Foundation for
International Studies
“The European
Mind: Narrative and Identity”
24 - 29
July 2006
CALL FOR CHAIRS
We live in an age of mass
production of narratives. The
prophecy of the European thinkers of the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, prescribing a paradigm for the creation of narrative, has become
a reality. The result of the mass
production of narratives is the leveling of all narratives, posing a
challenge to authority. One 'grand
narrative' after another is discarded, leaving the European mind longing
for a unifying narrative that crystallizes the European identity.
The 10th
international conference of ISSEI, to be held in Malta in 2006, invites
scholars from various disciplines such as History, Politics, Literature,
Arts, Philosophy, and Religion to examine the European Identity and the
multiplicity of narratives in the age of globalization.
The conference is divided
into five sections:
1) History, Geography,
Science
2) Economics,
Politics, Law
3) Education, Women's
Studies, Sociology
4) Art, Theatre,
Literature, Culture, Music
5) Language,
Philosophy, Psychology, Religion
Colleagues interested in
organizing a workshop on a topic from their discipline related to the
general conference topic are invited to submit a one-page proposal to:
