Networks and
Neighbours II: Curitiba, Brazil
Call for Papers: Second
Annual Networks and Neighbours Symposium
of Early Medieval History
Thursday through Friday, 3-4 April 2014
Firstly, we wish to thank all of those who made the
first Networks and Neighbours
Symposium in Leeds, U.K. not only possible but also a great success. We look forward to seeing you all in Curitiba,
Brazil. For those who were
unable to attend in Leeds, please see our journal (www.networksandneighbours.org)
for the conference report.
We are excited to announce the CFP for the 2014
Symposium in Curitiba!
The 2014 Symposium will be a two-day event bringing scholars
from around the world to present on and discuss the writing, thinking, reading
and representations of existence, meaning, thought, love, art, being, politics
– in short, life – in what is tenuously defined as the early Middle Ages in
Europe and the broader Mediterranean.
There are no specific topics or themes for this
year’s Symposium. We warmly
welcome topics ranging from ontological mathematics, geo-physical interpretations
of hagiographies and philosophies of archaeometry to more established
historical problems of texts, manuscripts and also philological findings. Regardless of the topic, we strongly
encourage innovative methodological, historiographical and historical
approaches to studying the topography of life in the past. We ask too that your work remains tied
to the temporal limits of the early Middle Ages. That said, time and periodization are relational as well as
pre-constructed boundaries in our research and we would be happy to receive
papers challenging these.
If you would like to present a paper and/or organize
a panel please send us your 500-word
abstract(s) by 6 January 2014.
Full papers of no more than 3,000 words should be submitted by 4 March
2014 in order for there to be sufficient time to circulate them to all participants.
We hope that this system of early
submission will encourage open, well-informed, critical and meaningful
discussions. The language of the
Symposium will be English, however, Portuguese translations of all papers will
be provided. So too will food
during the Symposium and accommodation for presenters. Registration is free.
Finally, it should be noted that it is our intention
to publish an edited volume based on the papers and other work developed at the
two Symposia as well as other significant events run and sponsored by Networks and Neighbours over the course
of two years.
