Rethinking Jacques Ellul and the technological society in the 21st century

Понеділок, 6 Грудня, 2010

The Conference Rethinking Jacques Ellul and the technological society in
the 21st Century invites submissions of papers. The international
conference will take place at the University of Lisbon, Portugal, June
17-18, 2011.
 
The conference willmark the centenary of the birth of Jacques Ellul
(1912-1994) and aims to serve as a forum for assessing the legacy of his
contributions especially to the sociological understanding of
technological society. Since the publication of La Techniqueou l’enjeu du
siècle (1954) the century has itself changed and various actors are
placing bets on globalization, terrorism, capitalism, democracy, religion,
and more. The working hypothesis of the conference is nevertheless that
continuing benefit can be derived from Ellul’s ideas and insights, in our
search for a better understanding of the issues and dilemmas of the
twenty-first century.
 
As one result of the conference, we plan to prepare a special journal
issue or book based on a selection of the papers presented at the
conference.

 
Conference format
The conference will include invited keynote talks and contributed oral
presentations. English is the official language of the conference.Paper
presentations will be 25 minutes, plus discussion.

No registration fee is charged.
 
Topics for contributions
The conference welcomes presentations on all relevant areas to which
Ellul's concepts and ideas are pertinent. The goal is to show new
directions in research on Ellul and a valuable contribution to core issues
of the twenty-first century. The list of topic areas outlined below is
suggestive of the topics under consideration, but by no means restricted
to them.
·         Social theory and technology
·         Globalization
·         Legal institutions, politics and bureaucracy
·         Capitalism, economy and consumerism
·         Ecologism and regionalism
·         Religion
·         Mass media and propaganda
·         Violence and terrorism
·         Urban studies

Subject: CFP Update: Popular Culture in Early America
From:    "CLAS - Draper Conference" <[email protected]>
Date:    Fri, December 3, 2010 7:50 pm

Popular Culture in Early America
The Fourth James L. and Shirley A. Draper Graduate Student Conference in
Early American Studies
DEADLINE: DECEMBER 15
Update: The plenary speakers will be David D. Hall, John A. Bartlett
Professor of New England Church History at Harvard University, and
Patricia Cline Cohen, Professor of History at the University of
California, Santa Barbara.

From London to Philadelphia, Charleston to Kingston, Quebec to Lima,
popular culture in early America embraced a host of activities and
purposes, communities, practices, and sites.  It expressed the vitality of
the diverse worlds that met and collided in early America and enacted
their tensions and conflicts as well.  Plebeian and respectable, folk and
commercial, popular and elite: "popular culture" goes by many names in
early American scholarship and takes in a broad and perhaps incompatible
set of activities. The Draper Graduate Student Conference in Early
American Studies seeks to explore this wide arena and assay the subjects,
issues, contributions, and theoretical debates in recent work on popular
culture in early America and the broader Atlantic world from the sixteenth
century down to the middle decades of the nineteenth century.

We invite graduate students to explore these themes in a conference to be
held in Storrs, Connecticut, and Worcester, Massachusetts from March 24 to
26, 2011 under the joint sponsorship of the University of Connecticut and
the American Antiquarian Society. Paper proposals should consist of a
500-word abstract and a C.V. of no more than 2 pages. The deadline for
submissions is December 15, 2010. We welcome submissions from graduate
students within and outside the discipline of history.
