| Jesuitica papers or panels? |
February 03, 2012 |
Dear 'jesuitica friends',
Are you going to attend the SCSC conference in October 2012 (Cincinnati) and/or the RSA conference in April 2013 (San Diego), or any other professional conference this or next year?
If yes, are you thinking of presenting a paper on a Jesuit topic? Or, do you have an idea for a panel on Jesuit topics?
If you do, would you mind sending me a title with a short proposal (of either paper or panel) so that we can coordinate the organization of sessions for these conferences?
I'm asking you this in view of planning potential theme issues for a new journal, Journal of Jesuit Interdisciplinary Studies (JJIS) that I shall be founding in collaboration with Brill in 2014. In this context, would you please think of those topics/geographical areas that have been neglected or need to be reconsidered in the historiography on the Jesuits? I'd especially welcome broader topics, which could be interpret through the prism of Jesuit history, such as civic humanism and Jesuits, gender and Jesuits, slavery and Jesuits, etc.
If you are planning to deliver a paper during the SCSC conference in October 2012, please send me your proposal before 1 March. If you are planning to deliver a paper during the RSS conference in April 2013, please send me your proposal before 1 April.
Feel free to forward this letter to anybody who might be interested in the matter.

CALL FOR PAPERS: "THE MAKING OF THE HUMANITIES III"
The third international conference on the history of the humanities, "The Making of the Humanities III", will take place at the Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome, from 1 till 3 November 2012.
GOAL OF THE CONFERENCE
This is the third of a biennially organized conference that brings together scholars and historians of humanities disciplines to draw the outlines for a comparative history of the humanities. Although histories of single humanities disciplines exist for quite some time, a comparative history has only very recently been investigated and the first monographs have just appeared.
THEME OF THE 2012 CONFERENCE
The theme of the meeting in 2012 will be "The Making of the Modern Humanities", focusing on the period 1850-2000, as well as four general panels that cross all periods. Topics include all aspects of the history of philology, linguistics, literary studies, musicology, historiography, art history, theatre studies, (new) media studies and other humanities disciplines, with an emphasis on their mutual influences.
PANELS
In addition to the theme of this year’s meeting, there will be four general conference panels that cover all periods, areas and disciplines:
Panel I: Objectivity in the Humanities
Panel II: Methodology in the Humanities
Panel III: The Search for Patterns in the Humanities
Panel IV: The Sciences and the Humanities
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Lorraine Daston (Max Planck Institute for the History of Science)
John Joseph (University of Edinburgh)
Glenn Most (Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa)
Jo Tollebeek (University of Leuven)

| Leuven, Sinology workshop, May-June 2012: call for papers |
July 01, 2011 |
Call for papers
In the context of a research project entitled "The French Jesuit Missionaries Shaped by the Chinese", the Research Department of Sinology of K.U. Leuven will host a workshop in Leuven (Belgium), from 31 May to 2 June 2012.
This workshop aims at enhancing our understanding of the French Jesuit Mission in China by (1) focussing on the Chinese side of the story; (2) tracing its European background; (3) and looking at the interconnectedness with other religious orders or other places through which knowledge travelled between China and Europe. Please find enclosed a short description of the project for more details.
The participants presenting a paper will be academics at different stages in their careers, including senior scholars, junior scholars and doctoral students. The working language will be English and Chinese. In order to ensure a well-informed and lively debate during the workshop, papers will be circulated well in advance, with drafts sent to the organizers by the end of March 2012. All participants will be asked to read and comment on all papers. Travel reimbursement and lodging will be available for a limited number of participants.
Proposals for papers should be sent by e-mail, as a Word document, and maximum one page in length, to Nicolas Standaert.
Proposals should be accompanied by a cv of maximum two pages in length and reach us before the deadline of 29 July 2011. Acceptances will be confirmed by 1 September 2011.
Organizing research unit:
Nicolas Standaert, Ad Dudink, Noël Golvers, Beatriz Puente-Ballesteros, Mario Cams

| Boston Conference, June 2012: Call for papers |
May 07, 2010 |
Call for Papers: “The Tragic Couple”: Encounters between Jews and Jesuits
“The Tragic Couple”: Encounters between Jews and Jesuits
An International Conference
Boston College, June 2012
The Society of Jesus has been a leader in the Church’s efforts at dialogue with Jews, including the role the Jesuit Cardinal Augustin Bea played in hammering out the groundbreaking declaration Nostra Aetate during Vatican II. Yet, the history of the relationship of this “tragic couple” has been often filled with bias and animosity, even though the Jesuit founder, Ignatius of Loyola, declared that he would consider it God’s special grace to be of the same Jewish lineage of Christ and even though Jesuits of Jewish ancestry had played a crucial role in the foundation and development of the Jesuit Order. Driven by a desire for deepening the understanding and friendship between the Jewish people and the Society of Jesus, the Center for Christian-Jewish Learning at Boston College is organizing an international conference on the history, nature, dynamics and current status of the relation between Jews and Jesuits. It aims to bring together scholars of different backgrounds to converse on this topic from an interdisciplinary perspective: biblical exegesis, history, literature, philosophy, theology, and spirituality.
PS. Please forward this email to those who you think may be interested in participating. |
