5th Global Conference: Hope

5th Global Conference Hope Sunday 10th March â€" Tuesday 12th March 2013 Lisbon, Portugal Call For Presentations: When Pandora's box was emptied of all the ills that would plague the world, one small winged creature still remained: hope. The project inquires into the nature of this gift. Is hope, in fact, a good, encouraging us to do or be good? Or is it an evil; an illusion, perhaps an impossible fantasy? How does hope manifest itself in the world, in language, literature, and the arts? How â€" should â€" hope be encouraged? Is hope individual or collective in nature? Or both? What does hope contribute to individual or national identity? This inter- and multi-disciplinary research and publications project seeks to explore the multi-layered ideas, actions, and cultural traditions regarding hope. The project aims to explore the nature of hope, its relationship with other emotions or movements, and its manifestation in the actions of individuals, cultures, communities and nations. The project will also consider the history of hope, its philosophical or scientific 'legitimacy', the meaning(s) of hope â€" especially in the nascent field of future studies, and the distinctions between hope and optimism. Representations of hope in film, literature, television, theatre and radio will be analysed; cultural traditions of hope will be considered. Presentations, papers, performances, reports, works-in-progress and workshops are invited on issues related to any of the following themes: - Theories of Hope - Pedagogies of Hope - Hope in Literature/Literature as Hope - Hope in Art/Art as Hope - Hope in Music/Music as Hope - Hope and Religious Teaching - Hope and the Beginning of Life - Hope and Despair - Hope and Reconciliation - Hope and Illness - Hope and Loss - Hope and the End of Life - Hope and Oppression - Consciousness and Hope - Between Hopelessness and Hope - Hope vs. Illusion - Hope and Media - Psychologies and Hope - Philosophies of Hope - Hope and Forgiveness - Remarriage Following Divorce: 'The Triumph of Hope over Experience' - Love and Hope - Good Works as Hope The Steering Group particularly welcomes the submission of pre-formed panel proposals. What to Send 300 word abstracts should be submitted by Friday 12th October 2012. All submissions are minimally double blind peer reviewed where appropriate. If an abstract is accepted for the conference, a full draft paper should be submitted by Friday 18th January 2013. Abstracts should be submitted simultaneously to the 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 key words E-mails should be entitled: HOPE 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). We acknowledge receipt and answer 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!

14th Global Conference: Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness

14th Global Conference Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness Sunday 10th March â€" Tuesday 12th March 2013 Lisbon, Portugal Call For Presentations: This inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary conference seeks to examine and explore issues surrounding evil and human wickedness. In wrestling with evil(s) we are confronted with a multi-layered phenomenon which invites people from all disciplines, professions and vocations to come together in dialogue and wrestle with questions that cross the boundaries of the intellectual, the emotional and the personal. Underlying these efforts there is the sense that in grappling with evil we are in fact grappling with questions and issues of our own humanity. The complex nature of evil is reflected in this call for presentations: in recognising that no one approach or perspective can adequately do justice to what we mean by evil, so there is an equal recognition that no one form of presentation ought to take priority over others. We solicit contributions which may be - papers, panels, workshops, reports - case studies - performance pieces; dramatic readings; poetic renditions; short stories; creative writings - works of art; works of music We will also consider other forms of contribution. Successful proposals will normally be given a 20 minute presentation space. Perspectives are sought from all academic disciplines along with, for example, those working in the caring professions, journalism, the media, the military, prison services, politics, psychiatry and other work-related, ngo and vocational areas. Key themes for reflection may include, but are not limited to: - what is evil? - the nature and sources of evil and human wickedness - evil animals? Wicked creatures? - the places and spaces of evil - crimes, criminals and justice - psychopathic behaviour â€" mad or bad? - villains, wicked characters and heroes - vice and virtue - choice, responsibility, and diminished responsibility - social and cultural reactions to evil and human wickedness - political evils; evil, power and the state - evil and gender; evil and the feminine - evil children - hell, hells, damnation: evil and the afterlife - the portrayal of evil and human wickedness in the media and popular culture - suffering in literature and film - individual acts of evil, group violence, holocaust and genocide; obligations of bystanders - terrorism, war, ethnic cleansing - fear, terror, horror - the search for meaning and sense in evil and human wickedness - the nature and tasks of theodicy - religious understandings of evil and human wickedness - postmodern approaches to evil and human wickedness - ecocriticism, evil and suffering - evil and the use/abuse of technology; evil in cyberspace The Steering Group also welcomes the submission of pre-formed panel proposals. What to Send 300 word abstracts should be submitted by Friday 12th October 2013. All submissions are minimally double blind peer reviewed. Abstracts should be submitted simultaneously to the 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 key words E-mails should be entitled: Evil14 Abstract Submission.

This thing which is with me all day, every day, from my birth to my death. This flesh which is me. My intimate life-long friend. In our day-to-day living we have no reason to question or to doubt our bodies. Until the bond of trust is shaken or broken. Something happens. To my body. Something inside: going wrong. A betrayal: a turning against: an unwelcome and unwanted change. From which there is no escape, no running away, nowhere to hide. This is happening to me.

Given the diversity and scope of this theme we welcome ~ papers, panels, workshops, reports ~ case studies ~ performance pieces; dramatic readings; poetic renditions; short stories; creative writings ~ works of art; works of music Key aspects for discussion will include, but not be limited to: Biological horror. Organic horror Betrayal; the body turns against you Something inside; no escape Change and transformation: the role of time Pain, suffering, agony, the scream, contortion mutation and mutilation Obscene bodies Disease. Infection, contagion, invasion, virus, the parasite Surgery, cosmetic surgery, body sculpture; huffing, tattooing, piercing; body art Pleasure, perversion, fetish Deformity; disability, affliction Hybridity Violence, brutality, torture Rape Innards, guts, organs Dismemberment; instruments of the body's destruction Wounded bodies, dying bodies Post body horror The Steering Group particularly welcomes the submission of pre-formed panel proposals.
