A Sort of Wisdom:
Exploring the Legacy of Primo Levi

An international conference commemorating the
25th anniversary of Primo Levi's death
Edge Hill University
Friday and Saturday, July 6 and 7, 2012

Confirmed keynote speakers

Manchester, and author of The Contract of Mutual
Indifference: Political Philosophy After the
Holocaust.

Robert S.C. Gordon, Reader in Modern Italian
Culture and Fellow of Gonville and Caius
College, University of Cambridge, and author of
Primo Levi's Ordinary Virtues: from testimony to
ethics.

Anthony Rudolf, Fellow of the Royal Society of
Literature, and author of At an Uncertain Hour:

PRIMO LEVI

Primo Levi (1919-1987) was born and lived his
entire life in or near Turin, with the exception
of the years 1944-45, when he was captured as an
anti-fascist partisan, deported to Auschwitz,
and then released into war-torn Europe. After
liberation, with 'a torrent of things to tell
the civilised world' and 'the tattooed number on
my arm burning like a sore' he wrote a series of
remarkable books, including If This is a Man,
The Periodic Table, and The Drowned and the
Saved. He is now viewed as not only one of the
key literary figures of the twentieth century
and one of the most important survivor-writers
of the Holocaust, but for many he is an ethical
writer of great depth and even a subtle and
humane 'political philosopher'.

Although he famously asked his readers not to
treat him as a 'prophet, oracle, or seer,' Primo
Levi also suspected that there was 'a sort of
wisdom that seeps through from my books which I
don't feel within myself.' What sort of wisdom
do we find in Levi and how can we critically
appropriate his legacy without encouraging what
Bryan Cheyette has called 'reductive discourses
which have engulfed Levi's life and work' and
risk turning him into a 'saint-like figure'?

PROPOSALS

We welcome proposals for 20-minute papers or for
conference panels on any aspect of Levi's legacy
and from any discipline – including Literature,
Cultural Studies, Political Philosophy, Ethics,
Educational Studies, Social Theory, History and
Holocaust studies. Topics are not limited to,
but may include:
• Levi and Ethics
• Levi and Memory / Story-Telling
• Levi and the Holocaust
• Levi and the 'Two Cultures'
• Levi and Work, Levi and Friendship
• Levi and Writing
• Levi and Language
• Levi and Violence and War
• Levi and Holocaust Education
• Levi and Philosophy after the Holocaust

• Representations and Receptions

Please send a 500-word abstract (max.) of your
paper and a short CV by 1 February, 2012 to
Professor Alan Johnson,
johnsona@edgehill.ac.uk. The conference will be
followed by a call for papers for an edited
collection of essays on Levi's work.

GAME CHANGING: HR Tech Europe is Europe's most

systems and collaborative tools are bringing about
surmountable change in the way organisations work.

Web address: http://www.hrtecheurope.com
Sponsored by: HRN Europe - Pan European HR Network

The age of globalisation means organisations are
now able to leverage expertise anytime and
anywhere it lives. The cloud, mobility,
operational HR tools, collaborative tools, and
predictive HR analytics are creating
transformative new business processes. Today, HR
technology is now the fuel that helps to keep all
cylinders of an organization firing. From the
latest approaches for identifying future talent
gaps to the best practices for facilitating global
collaboration, HR technology is the new arsenal
that now enables HR leaders to contribute to their
organizations in a more strategic and meaningful
way. Of course, none of this is possible unless
leaders from every business unit and every
generation are inspired and equipped to use not
only the tools available today, but also the Next
Generation Talent.
