We learned of a call for papers
for a conference organized by the International Society for Intellectual
History. Here the call:

The suddenness of many recent
changes has led to a widespread feeling of bewilderment and led many to retreat
into what are seen as safe places and idealised pasts, rejection of difference
and increasingly violent and intolerant social exchange. At the same time, the
evidence of climate change is making people increasingly aware of the need to
rethink our way of life. It therefore seems an appropriate moment to look at
how change has been understood and conceptualised in the past, how changes in
ways of thinking, concepts and paradigms have come about, the strength of
resistance to change, and the role of exchange – intellectual and material – in
this process. Change and Exchange proposes to explore
historical, philosophical, cultural, material, social, environmental and
scientific change, the varieties of social, intellectual, material, economic,
etc. exchange and the interactions between the two. It will also look at change
and exchange in the field of Intellectual History itself.
Call for Papers
The International Society for
Intellectual History (ISIH) invites proposals for papers and
panels. Papers (20 mins, followed by 10 mins of discussion), relating to
the theme of change and exchange in intellectual history at large, can
concentrate on any period, region, tradition or discipline, including the arts,
humanities and sciences, 1450 to present. As well as individual papers, we
welcome proposals for panels of up to three papers and a commentator. The
range of subjects of investigation is extremely broad, and may include, but is
not limited to:
- thinking about change in intellectual history:
epistemological breaks, paradigm change and intellectual traditions;
- interdisciplinarity in intellectual history
- debates on social, political, economic, scientific,
technological, climate, etc. change;
- writing the history of change; changes of scale in
historical understanding
- interactions between political, social, economic,
technological, scientific and intellectual change;
- promoting and resisting change;
- informal and institutional exchanges between
cultures and their role in bringing about change;
- sociability and intellectual, scientific,
commercial, institutional etc. networks;
- the theory, practice, history and role of
translation.
Proposals for papers and panels
are due by 15 November 2019 and must be submitted through
the Conference
Submission Form.
