9th Global Conference: Making Sense Of: Dying and Death

9th Global Conference
Making Sense Of: Dying and Death

Saturday 10th November – Monday 12th November 2012
Salzburg, Austria

Call For Papers:
This inter- and multi-disciplinary conference explores dying and death and the
ways culture impacts care for the dying, the overall experience of dying, and
ways the dead are remembered. Over the past three decades, scholarship in
thanatology has increased dramatically. This particular conference seeks a
broad array of perspectives that explore, analyze, and/or interpret the myriad
interrelations and interactions that exist between death and culture. Culture
not only presents and portrays ideas about "a good death" and norms that seek
to achieve it, culture also operates as both a vehicle and medium through
which meaning about death is communicated and understood. Sadly, too, culture
sometimes facilitates death through violence.

A key emphasis in this year's conference will be an exploration of the
connections between health care systems, caregivers, and matters of public
policy that serve those at the end-of-life. This conference specifically aims
to assess how heath care systems, patients, and staff intersect during end-of-
life care, and explores how important the caregiver-patient relationship
continues to be amidst end-of-life issues and decisions.

We also welcome submissions that produce conversations engaging historical,
ethnographic, normative, literary, anthropological, philosophical, artistic,
political or other terms that elaborate a relationship between death and
culture.

3rd Global Conference: Making Sense Of: Suffering

3rd Global Conference
Making Sense Of: Suffering

Tuesday 13th November – Thursday 15th November 2012
Salzburg, Austria

Call for Papers:
This inter- and multi-disciplinary conference
seeks to explore if, or to what extent, meaning
can be found in suffering. During the course of
living our lives, we are invariably forced to stop
and question why we suffer – be it through
illness, pain, loss, grief or the multitude of
distressing circumstances which we encounter.
Problems arise in a variety of contexts and due to
a bewildering variety of conditions. And because
our lives are constant streams of experience, the
nature of suffering and consequently the 'meaning'
of such suffering continually varies and changes.

The conference aims to raise and assess a variety
of questions related to the nature of suffering,
the origins of suffering, the 'meaning' of
suffering, explanations for suffering and
responding to suffering. Papers, workshops,
presentations and pre-formed panels are invited on
any of the following themes:

I. What is Suffering?
- Defining 'suffering'. What is 'suffering'?
How do we approach 'suffering'?
- Is suffering unique or exclusive to human beings?

- Suffering and language
- What is at stake when dealing with suffering?
- The 'limits' of suffering
- The dangers of suffering

IV. Explaining Suffering
- Suffering and explanation
- Theories of suffering: the work of the
disciplines
- Theories of suffering: the work of the
professions
- Theories of suffering: the work of the vocations
- Silence and suffering

V. Suffering and Practice
- Suffering, apathy and indifference
- Alleviating suffering
- Practices causing, prolonging, truncating,
overcoming, relieving or resolving suffering
- Suffering, hope and despair

VI. Suffering and Religion
- Suffering from the perspective of religious
traditions
- Suffering and sacred texts
- Portraits of suffering and sufferers
- Suffering and 'redemption'
- Suffering and atheism

VII. Representing Suffering
- Suffering and representation
- Suffering in literature
- Suffering in the media
- Suffering in tv, film, theatre and radio
- Suffering in cybercultures

VIII. Confronting Suffering
- Meaning, suffering and action
- Overcoming suffering
- Should suffering be overcome?

- Practice(s), resolution(s), settlement

Papers will be considered on any related theme.
300 word abstracts should be submitted by Friday
4th May 2012. If an abstract is accepted for the
conference, a full draft paper should be submitted
by Friday 3rd August 2012.

1st Global Conference: Sport

1st Global Conference
Sport

Wednesday 7th November – Friday 9th November 2012
Salzburg, Austria

Call For Papers:
Sport has a chimeric value in modern life. On the
one hand, millions of people choose to play sports
or become supporters of sports. For these people,
sport is a social good, something which brings
people together for a common purpose, provides a
sense of security and belonging, and enjoyment and
excitement; and for participants a sense of
fulfilment, well-being and physical fitness. On
the other hand, there is an increasingly vocal
backlash against sport: by people in communities
affected by the demolishing of homes to make way
for facilities for mega sports events; by sports
journalists weary of the doping and the
match-fixing and the behaviour of elite athletes;
by fans sickened by the way their sports have
become tainted with the evil of global commerce;
and by scholars and others critical of the
importance given to sport in modern times. This
project aims to bring together scholars from a
wide range of disciplines – sociology, cultural
studies, philosophy, history, political studies,
urban studies, geography, and psychology and sport
science – who are interested in exploring the
Janus face of sport, to try to better understand
the status of sport in our everyday lives. The
project is for cheerleaders of sport, critics of
sport, and all those in-between who would like to
make a contribution to this inter-disciplinary
approach to understanding sport.

We would be interested in research or theory
papers on the following themes:

- Sport and social identity
- Ontology of sport
- Ethics and sport
- Anti-sport social movements
- Commercialization and sport
- Sport and place
- Problems in sport science
- History of modern sport
- Measuring the value of sport
- Sport and popular culture
- Sport and celebrities
- The politics of sport
- Sports fandom

The Steering Group particularly welcomes the
submission of pre-formed panel proposals. 300 word
abstracts should be submitted by Friday 4th May
2012. If an abstract is accepted for the
conference, a full draft paper should be submitted
by Friday 3rd August 2012.

300 word abstracts should be submitted
simultaneously to both Organising Chairs;
abstracts may be in Word, WordPerfect, or RTF
formats with the following information and in this
order:

a) author(s), b) affiliation, c) email address, d)
title of abstract, e) body of abstract, f) up to
10 keywords.
E-mails should be entitled: SPORT Abstract Submission.

Please use plain text (Times Roman 12) and abstain
from using footnotes and any special formatting,
characters or emphasis (such as bold, italics or
underline). Please note that a Book of Abstracts
is planned for the end of the year.
All accepted abstracts will be included in this
publication. We acknowledge receipt and answer to
all paper proposals submitted. If you do not
receive a reply from us in a week you should
assume we did not receive your proposal; it might
be lost in cyberspace! We suggest, then, to look
for an alternative electronic route or resend.

4th Global Conference: Bullying and the Abuse of Power

4th Global Conference
Bullying and the Abuse of Power

Sunday 4th November – Tuesday 6th November 2012
Salzburg, Austria

Call For Papers
Bullying is a global problem. Whether it takes
place in the schoolyard, the board room, the
corridors of academe, a detention centre for
alleged terrorists, a government office, or cyber
space and whether it involves insult, physical
assault or manipulation of the environment with
the intention of making another person's life
intolerable, bullying involves the abuse of power.
Everyone is affected by it, whether directly or
indirectly.

All of us know people who are bullied, and all of
us know bullies, though we may be unaware that we
do. After all, bullies may seem, on the surface,
to be kind, caring and supportive human beings,
interested in nurturing others. And if they have
been kind to us, we may fail to perceive their
unkindness to others.

Bullying goes on at every level, often goes on
behind closed doors; inside private emails, and in
actions that might appear innocuous. It grows out
of the ability that many (and perhaps most) people
have, to find enjoyment and fulfilment in exerting
power over others. It depends for its existence
either on a lack of empathy and human feeling, or
on the developed ability to suspend empathy. It
can ruin lives, and it can end lives. We should
not allow ourselves to believe that because it is
not open to view, bullying is not present.

In the first two years of Bullying and the abuse
of power, a number of themes have emrged. Two of
these – bullying in schools and bullying in the
workplace (including universities) are
unsurprising and have featured strongly in both
earlier conferences. Alongside these, and other
themes with a practical focus, such as cyber
bullying, participants have wrestled with the
problem of saying exactly what is to count as
bullying, and how far its boundaries extend.

Abstracts are now invited for Bullying and the
Abuse of Power 3, for individual contributions or
for symposia of three papers. Abstracts that
illuminate and comment on more than one sphere in
which bullying manifests itself, are especially
welcomed, as are abstracts that draw together
insights from more than one academic, professional
or vocational area, or that draw from more than
one cultural or theoretical perspective. Abstracts
are also especially welcomed that focus on
bullying in areas where the abuse of power is less
commonly thought of in this way, including the ill
treatment of elders, genocide, human trafficking,
and bullying in international relations and
international trade.

1. Bullying in School/in the Workplace
- Bullying of older people/disabled people
- Sexual bullying
- Racial bullying
- Religious intolerance

2. From Playground Bullying to Genocide/Bullying:
How Far Can it Go?
- Human Rights abuses
- Genocide
- The Holocaust
- Human trafficking

3. International Relations
- Cultural intolerance
- Terrorism as a means of persuasion
- Imposition of the wishes of the developed world
on developing countries
- Bullying of Indigenous people

4. Multinationals, Impoverished Nations and Corner
Shops
- The effects of globalisation on business
- Changing patterns of shopping: corner shops vs
superstores
- Advertising and vulnerable consumers
- Cut price goods and low pay for workers

Papers will be considered on any related theme.
Abstracts should be written in simple language and
for individual contributions should be no longer
than 300 words, while for symposia they should
include a 150 word overview for each contribution
and a 200 word overview for the whole session
(please take these word limits seriously).
Abstracts should be submitted by Friday 4th May
2012. If an abstract is accepted for the
conference, a full draft paper should be submitted
by Friday 3rd August 2012.

Abstracts should be submitted to the Organising
Chairs; abstracts may be in Word, WordPerfect, or
RTF formats, following this order:

a) author(s), b) affiliation, c) email address, d)
title of abstract, e) body of abstract, f) up to
10 keywords.
E-mails should be entitled: BULLY4 Abstract Submission

Please use plain text (Times Roman 12) and abstain
from using any special formatting, characters or
emphasis (such as bold, italics or underline).
Please note that a Book of Abstracts is planned
for the end of the year. All accepted abstracts
will be included in this publication. We
acknowledge receipt and answer to all paper
proposals submitted. If you do not receive a reply
from us in a week you should assume we did not
receive your proposal; it might be lost in
cyberspace! We suggest, then, to look for an
alternative electronic route or resend.
