THE
10th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF
organized in cooperation with University of Malta, Foundation for
International Studies The
European Mind: Narrative and Identity 24–29 July
2006 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 at the University of Malta, 24-29 July
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, Theater, Literature, Culture, Music 5) Language, Philosophy, Psychology, Religion Conference Co-Chairs:
