Call for Papers The Fifth Euroacademia International Conference Re-Inventing Eastern Europe 29 – 30 January 2016 Riga, Latvia Deadline for Paper Proposals: 10 December 2015 Conference Description: The Fifth Euroacademia International Conference 'Re-Inventing Eastern Europe' aims to make a case and to provide alternative views on the dynamics, persistence and manifestations of practices of alterity making that take place in Europe and broadly in the mental mappings of the world.

First International Conference on Hermeneutics of Symbol, Myth and “Modernity of antiquity” in Italian literature and the Arts from the Renaissance up to the present day

First International Conference on Hermeneutics of Symbol, Myth and "Modernity of antiquity" in Italian literature and the Arts from the Renaissance up to the present day 1st to 2nd December 2015 Milan, Italy http://convegni.unicatt.it/ermeneuticasimbolomitoemodernitadellantico The hermeneutics of the "modernity of the antiquity"» is a still pioneering branch of research in Italian literature and art studies aimed discovering the hidden meaning of literary and art works where other approaches failed or proved unsatisfactory. Its distinguishing trait consists in using, along with all the results of historical, critical and philological studies, ancient pagan religious and mythological sources and heresiological traditions as tools to interprete literary and artistic works skillfully conceived as erudite enigmas with the multilayered semantic structure of a shrine or of a palimpsest. Its main objective is to open the lid of the shrine, namely to go beyond t

Interdisciplinary Thinking and Planning: Sharing Good Practice and Learning New Ways of Doing

Interdisciplinary Thinking and Planning: Sharing Good Practice and Learning New Ways of Doing Call for Participation 2016 Wednesday 11th May – Friday 13th May 2016 Prague, Czech Republic This meeting will explore the nuts and bolts of the processes of interdisciplinarity. We need to delve into the distinctions between inter-, multi-, cross- and trans-disciplinarity. In medicine, for example, "multi-disciplinary team meetings" are an important aspect of patient care, but all the disciplines involved have a medical focus – spiritual and/or emotional care, including art and self-expression, are considered outliers in the healing process. In academia, on the other hand, "trans-disciplinarity" often holds the connotation of being neither fish nor fowl – the significance of its scholarly concentration or application is often unclear and imprecise. This project, central to Inter-Disciplinary.Net's mission, is envisaged as a multi-year venture. I
