The new philosophy of photography 13 –14 February 2015

This workshop – a collaboration between the London Aesthetics Forum and the University of Warwick’s Centre for Research in Philosophy, Literature and the Arts – brings together philosophers and theorists from the UK, USA, Canada, France, Belgium and Germany to discuss recent developments in the philosophy of photography. In recent years, philosophers have belatedly begun to consider the challenge that artists’ use of photography may present for standard philosophical conceptions of photography as a ‘purely causal’ process ensuring ‘belief independent feature tracking’ or ‘natural counter-factual dependence’ of photographs on their subjects. These challenges, which can no longer

be accommodated by ad hoc extensions to existing theories or by treating artistic uses of photography as a special case, also put into question core art theoretical notions such as ‘indexicality’. This British Society of Aesthetics-funded workshop considers philosophers’ attempts to address such problems and asks whether a fundamental re-conception of the field is now required.

What’s happening in Black British History? II Convenors: Miranda Kaufmann and Michael Ohajuru

Workshop and public lecture 24 February 2015 Data are (or is) everything and everywhere, flowing through everyday life, our workplaces, our homes and minds. How can we control information flow through law and legal policy? That is one of the main research questions for the new Centre for Law and Information Policy which launches on this day

at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies. During a small afternoon workshop, specialist scholars will discuss their current research in information law and policy, including Daithí Mac Síthigh (Newcastle), Marion Oswald (Winchester), Ian Brown (Oxford) and Asma Vranaki (Queen Mary). This will be followed by a public lecture at which Timothy Pitt-Payne QC, barrister at 11 King’s Bench Walk, will ask ‘Does privacy matter?’ See page 39 for event information

Launch of the Centre for Law and Information Policy

www.senatehouselibrary.ac.uk

19 February 2015 The second in a series of workshops launched in October 2014 that aim to foster a creative dialogue between researchers, educationists (mainstream and supplementary), archivists and curators, and policy makers. Building on the success of the inaugural event – which was described by attendees as ‘exciting, informative, culturally enriching’ and praised for its ‘sense of warmth and informality within academic discourses’ and ‘clear rigour without elitism’ – this workshop will be held in Liverpool, home to one of the oldest black communities in the country. Topics for discussion include gender, education, sport, creative and cultural interpretations of Black British history, and emancipation.

Event highlights

Experimental narratives From the novel to digital storytelling 26–27 February 2015 Major changes in the 20th- and 21st-century media landscape have raised a number of questions about the role of the novel in contemporary culture. Its main structural components seem to have been superseded with postmodernity. Some writers and critics claim that ‘the novel is dead’ (Shields) or ‘culturally irrelevant’ (Lee) in our society, while others defend its crucial role in making sense of the world. Sponsored by the Modern Humanities Research Association, this conference provides a forum for discussion of the experiments and changes in the novel form since the early 20th century and the relationship of these changes to the culture and society in which they have been situated. See page 41 for event information

Framing victory Salamis, the Athenian Acropolis and the Agora 4 March 2015 This special guest lecture from John K. Papadopoulos (California, Los Angeles) will focus on the very heart of the Classical beast, more specifically the monumental entrance/exit to the Athenian Acropolis, the Propylaia. In the 430s BC, Mnesikles, the architect of the Propylaia, changed the orientation of the building from that of the Old Propylon capturing, for eternity and in the architectural fabric of the city, a view of the greatest watershed event in Athenian history: the Battle of Salamis. This was only one part of the ‘dissertation on victory’ that the Acropolis represents; the Classical Agora was also part of the Athenian building programme after Salamis. See page 46 for event information

Afterlife of Greek tragedy 5–6 March 2015 This conference will explore the impact of Greek tragedy on intellectual and cultural history, on the visual arts, philosophy, politics, rhetoric and literature, including the development and character of European and other theatrical traditions. The proceedings will be jointly published as Supplements to the Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies. Speakers will include: Erika Fischer-Lichte (Freie Universitaet Berlin), Katie Fleming (Queen Mary), Edith Hall (King’s College London), Fiona Macintosh (Oxford), Anthony Ossa-Richardson (Queen Mary), Valentina Prosperi (Sassari), Andrea Rodighiero (Verona), Hanna Roisman (Colby College), Ruth Webb (Lille) and Gerald Wildgruber (Basel).

Swinging back? Winds of change after a decade of the Latin American Left 27 March 2015 This one-day conference will bring together scholars from different fields to discuss and analyse the causes, expressions, trends and implications of the ongoing and turbulent transition of the Left in Latin America. Ultimately, the guiding question behind the event is twofold: to what extent is the Latin American leftist decade over? And where to next? See page 65 for event information www.senatehouselibrary.ac.uk

20–21 March 2015 This major conference will explore the ways in which London and its inhabitants were affected by, and involved in, the 1914–18 conflict. Organised by IWM (Imperial War Museums) in partnership with the Centre for Metropolitan History as part of events to commemorate the centenary of the First World War. With a packed programme of wide-ranging papers, the conference appeals to both academics and members of the

public. Bookended by plenary lectures by Dr Adrian Gregory (Oxford) on ‘London: a wartime metropolis in comparative perspective’ and Professor Jerry White (Birkbeck) on ‘London in the First World War: questions of legacy’, there will also be seven panel sessions over the two days, a conference reception on Friday evening, as well as the opportunity to view IWM London’s new First World War gallery before the Museum opens to the general public on Saturday.

Second international conference on music and consciousness 14â&#x20AC;&#x201C;17 April 2015

Following on from the success of the first international conference on music and consciousness (Sheffield, 2006), and the subsequent edited volume Music and Consciousness, this second conference is again intended as a forum for the exchange of perspectives from a broad range of disciplines, including neuroscience, psychology, phenomenology, philosophy, sociology, musicology, performance studies, ethnomusicology, music therapy, evolutionary

psychology, cognitive archaeology and cultural history. Keynote speakers include Professor Judith Becker (Michigan), Professor Susan Blackmore (Freelance writer, lecturer and broadcaster, and Visiting Professor, University of Plymouth) and Professor Sir Colin Blakemore (Institute of Philosophy). See page 69 for event information

Event highlights

Marginal presences Unorthodox belief and practice, 1837–2014

17–18 April 2015 This interdisciplinary conference will discuss the meaning and significance of aestheticism and decadence as these movements evolved between 1895 and the mid-20th century. Aestheticism and decadence were not

vanquished with Wilde’s imprisonment but, rather, continued as vital and diverse forms in 20th-century aesthetics and culture. Their influence was in some cases openly acknowledged by the authors in question, but often it was oblique and obscured as many later writers, most famously the High Modernists, eschewed any admissions of such a debt. See page 70 for event information

Aestheticism and decadence in the age of modernism: 1895 to 1945

www.senatehouselibrary.ac.uk

23 April 2015 This one-day symposium on marginal thinkers is inspired by Senate House Library’s extraordinary collections. The beliefs and lifestyles of those on the margins of society are frequently more revealing of the core values of a culture than its leaders and established interpreters. In their persistent, unobtrusive subcultures, or their prominent demands for reform and re-evaluation, such men and women hold up a mirror to those hegemonic structures from which they deviate. The Library is rich in the personal libraries and archives of many such figures – anti-censorship campaigners, paranormal investigators and practitioners, naturists, political radicals, and campaigning teetotallers. To honour their discounted unorthodoxy, this event will focus on the life, work and impact of the marginal minority with their restless doubts, behavioural vagaries and utopian dreams, existing alongside an unbelieving, heedless culture.

Speaker highlights

Helmut Lachenmann Composer This conference celebrates the life of one of Germany’s most influential composers with papers on Lachenmann’s music, his aesthetics and his context in contemporary culture. Professor Helmut Lachenmann’s works are performed by major orchestras, opera houses and chamber ensembles throughout the world. Born in 1935, he engaged with the post-war cultural debates to create a new musical aesthetic based on noise sounds – an instrumental musique concrète employing conventional orchestral instruments with unconventional playing techniques. Supported by the Hepner Foundation, the event will feature Lachenmann in conversation and will end with a concert of his work by the Arditti Quartet. See page 31 for event information

the experience of antique sculpture at Tegel Castle 18 February 2015 Pascal Griener Professor of Art History, Université de Neuchâtel

18 March 2015

Mark Doty, poet Mark Doty, who was born in Maryville, Tennessee, and now lives in New York, was the first American poet to win the T.S. Eliot Award, and is a former winner of the National Book Award for Poetry. He first came to public attention with work exploring gay identity and the AIDS epidemic. Deep Lane, published this spring, is a book of descents – into the earth beneath the garden, and into the dark substrata of life. It ranges from agony to rapture, from great depths to hard-won heights. Ruth Padel, poet Ruth Padel, a former winner of the National Poetry Competition, was shortlisted for the 2014 T.S. Eliot Award for Learning to Make an Oud in Nazareth, a book on conflict, harmony and creativity, weaving contemporary Middle Eastern politics and the history and culture of the Abrahamic religions, with music and craftsmanship. At its heart is a sequence on the Seven Last Words of Christ from the cross. See page 58 for event information

Senate House Library, Membership Hall ‘Shell shock’ was coined as a new psychiatric term by psychologist Charles S. Myers in an article published in The Lancet in February 1915. With its origins firmly in the wartime experience of soldiers in the trenches of the Great War, ‘shell shock’ has since taken shape as a highly influential medical and cultural concept in the history of war neuroses. This exhibition brings together a selection of printed and archival sources on this topic from the collections of Senate House Library. The exhibition is free and no registration is required. Please contact Mura Ghosh with enquiries at mura.ghosh@london.ac.uk

Exile Lives told through the Archives 1 April–30 May 2015 Senate House Library, Membership Hall This exhibition, organised by the Institute of Modern Languages Research in association with Senate House Library, focuses on the experiences of German-speaking refugees who came to the UK in the 1930s after the National Socialists took power in Central Europe. It draws on some of the most fascinating material deposited in the German Studies Archives by exile actors, writers, journalists, trade unionists and other political activists, to illustrate the cultural, social and political lives of the refugees in their new home country. Sponsored by the Miller Trust. The exhibition is free and no registration is required. Please contact Clare George with enquiries at clare.george@sas.ac.uk

www.senatehouselibrary.ac.uk

Senate House Library has extremely rich holdings of material produced by those who resisted the national war effort during the First World War, much of which was officially suppressed under the Defence of the Realm Act (1914). This exhibition presents a selection of these items alongside governmental recruiting posters and other printed propaganda. As well as offering evidence of differing opinions, this presentation seeks to draw out similarities between them, particularly how both groups made strident appeals to very similar fundamental principles, or human duties, in order to support their arguments.

This general training is complemented by a set of research methodologies courses for students in social science disciplines, and in the software and management information tools required to enable students to complete their research effectively.

‘The School’s extensive and varied range of training programmes are designed to meet the needs of 21st-century researchers, offering programmes which enable scholars in the humanities to develop their skills and pursue their studies to maximum effect.’ Rachel Stickland, Registrar

Training in aspects of history, for instance, is extensive, notably in the Institute of Historical Research, which offers a comprehensive programme of short courses in research skills for historians. Taking advantage of both the unparalleled concentration of historical expertise available in the University of London, and the wealth of archival materials in and around the capital, the Institute’s long-established and highly successful courses are widely recognised as the best means of developing and extending both essential and more specialised research skills. The Institute of Historical Research training programme is primarily aimed at postgraduate historians, but also welcomes established historians and independent researchers and writers of all sorts. Further historical skills courses run by the Warburg Institute include classes in medieval and Renaissance Latin for historians, and a programme of training in resources and techniques (jointly with the University of Warwick), which provides specialist research training for doctoral students working on Renaissance and early modern subjects in a range of disciplines. The London Palaeography Summer School run by the Institute of English Studies provides training in that key skill.

Extensive training for students of cultures and literatures is offered by the Institute of Modern Languages Research, whose well-established and popular programme, comprising a series of Saturday workshops, is offered to any postgraduate student working in modern languages or a related discipline (for instance, film, or art history). And the Institute of Musical Research runs a successful national scheme of day schools, aimed at PhD students but also open to those taking masters’ programmes in music, whereby specialist tutors from across the UK provide an insight into current research questions, debates and methodologies across a spectrum of musical research. Most of the School’s training is available to postgraduate students across the UK, much of it free of charge. Details of all the research training courses provided are available from our website: www.sas.ac.uk/support-research/ research-training

www.senatehouselibrary.ac.uk

The School’s programme of personal development and transferable skills training is available in the form of weekly workshops.

Making the most of the concentration of expertise available in the School and the University of London, the institutes between them also provide well-established discipline-specific research training in core humanities disciplines.

The School of Advanced Study draws on its research and teaching expertise to provide a programme of discipline-specific, generic and online research training to support the development of the scholars of tomorrow.

Law and the ageing of humankind (W G Hart legal workshop 2015)

Marginal presences: unorthodox belief and practice, 1837–2014

22–23 June 2015

Thursday 23 April 2015

Please send abstracts of 300 to 500 words to IALS. WGHart@sas.ac.uk by email attachment. Abstracts should not include embedded footnotes or endnotes.

Interpreting communities: minority writing in European literary fields 29–30 October 2015 CFP deadline: 28 February 2015 The past three decades have seen a widespread surge of interest in writing by and about ‘minority’ communities across the European continent. Scholars have turned to the writing of ‘minority’ authors to better understand the communities from which they hail and the ‘majority’ cultures with which they converse. By uniting researchers focused on literary texts produced by ‘minority’ writers throughout Europe, this conference will concentrate on a systematic, comparative study of ‘minority’ writing in European letters across the 20th and 21st centuries. We particularly encourage papers which do one or more of the following: interrogate the term ‘minority’, adopt a comparative approach, question the value of prevailing theories of identity to the European context, and consider the practical implications of teaching minority literatures. Please send a 200-word abstract with a 50-word bio to both organisers: Malachi McIntosh (Cambridge) and Godela Weiss-Sussex (Institute of Modern Languages Research/Cambridge): msam2@cam.ac.uk; godela.weiss-susssex@sas.ac.uk.

CFP deadline: 9 March 2015 The beliefs and lifestyles of those on the margins of society are frequently more revealing of the core values of a culture than its leaders and established interpreters. In their persistent, unobtrusive subcultures, or their prominent demands for reform and re-evaluation, such men and women hold up a mirror to those hegemonic structures from which they deviate. The Senate House Library is rich in the personal libraries and archives of many such figures – anti-censorship campaigners, paranormal investigators and practitioners, naturists, political radicals, and campaigning teetotallers. This oneday symposium will focus on the life, work and impact of the marginal minority with their restless doubts, behavioural vagaries and utopian dreams, existing alongside an unbelieving, heedless culture. Proposals are invited from researchers from any discipline, including librarians, archivists, biographers, literary scholars, psychologists, theologians and historians of all areas of interest. Please send proposals for 20-minute papers and any enquiries to shl.officeadmin@london.ac.uk.

Language, culture and society in Russian/ English studies: 6th conference 27–28 July 2015 CFP deadline: 17 March 2015 Organised and sponsored by the Moscow Institute of Foreign Languages, the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Russian Academy of Linguistics and The Journal of Philology, this conference is devoted to the development of English and Russian studies, lexicography, sociolinguistics, English teaching in Russia, and the History of the Book. Please send proposals for papers to: rector@gaudeamus.ru and jane.roberts@sas.ac.uk. For plenary sessions or for working groups proposals, abstracts should be no longer than 300 words. Papers for plenary sessions should be no more than 30 minutes in length; working group papers should be 15–20 minutes. Working group sessions are normally planned for one hour and 15 minutes.

In 2010 in the UK, there were 1.3 million more children under the age of 16 than people aged over 65, but by 2035 the Office for National Statistics expects this pattern to be reversed with a projected excess of 4 million more people aged over 65 than under 16. How will the law respond? Do we need a Convention of the Rights of Older People to protect them in their ‘second childhoods’ or are they less vulnerable than the younger generations? How many of the building blocks of our legal doctrine assume continuing economic activity? The committee especially welcomes contributions from early career researchers and papers of a crossdisciplinary nature.

Calls for papers

Rhodesian UDI – 50 years on. Change and continuity in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. The record since UDI in 1965

Anti-democratic ideology and criminal law under Fascist, National Socialist and authoritarian Regimes

11–12 November 2015

10–11 September 2015

CFP deadline: 31 March 2015 November 2015 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the illegal declaration of independence by the Rhodesia Front government of Ian Smith, against the British crown. How much can current internal developments and regional politics be traced back to events of 1965? How far did the failure to achieve accelerated independence at the same time as the rest of British Southern Africa, leave a lasting and complicated legacy for Zimbabwe politics, governance and society today? This conference in London will evaluate lasting legacies of UDI, and highlight new research on Zimbabwe’s complicated inheritance. Presentations that emphasise the themes of continuity and change are particularly welcome. Abstracts of 250–300 words, accompanied by a short bibliography, should be submitted to Dr Sue Onslow: sue.onslow@sas.ac.uk.

Decolonisation and colonial legacies 21–22 October 2015 CFP deadline: 31 March 2015 The implications of their imperial pasts continue to affect the contemporary internal and external policies of France, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Belgium, The Netherlands and Spain. These connected legacies manifest themselves most obviously in the diverse diplomatic associations which draw together countries formerly colonised by these states, but all six European states maintain varying institutional links. This conference will focus on the post-imperial legacies for these countries, in terms of political institutions, immigration and community relations, trade, investment and aid, culture and education. It is intended to highlight new research on critical process of transition for these former imperial powers, as well as to bring historians, political scientists and international relations scholars into contact with contemporary actors and policy makers. Abstracts of 250–300 words, accompanied by a short bibliography, should be submitted to Dr Sue Onslow: sue.onslow@sas.ac.uk.

CFP deadline: 7 April 2015 The Fascist, National Socialist and other forms of authoritarian regimes that emerged in the 20th century used criminal law as a key component of their repressive and social control strategies. Criminal law was both an instrument in such regimes’ exertion of power, and a medium through which their core ideologies were expressed and could be identified. Although such regimes were not merely negative movements grounded on opposition to other political forces, many of them included elements of antidemocratic ideology in the formulation, application and interpretation of criminal law. This involved rejecting concepts identified with liberal democracy, and purporting to overcome their inadequacies. Whereas for some regimes such as Fascism and National Socialism this was an explicit, self-declared component of their identity, for others anti-democratic ideology was arguably more implicit in their turn away from liberal methods and models of criminal law. This conference invites participants to question the nature and extent of anti-democratic ideology in criminal law under Fascist, National Socialist and other authoritarian regimes during the 20th century. Although the primary focus is intended to be on Fascism, National Socialism and similar systems in Europe, proposals for papers adopting a comparative approach to criminal law under communism, or to experiences in other parts of the world, will also be considered. After the conference and subject to strict criteria of quality and thematic cohesion, the aim is to publish selected papers in an edited, peer-reviewed collection with a leading publisher. Abstracts of 250 words should be submitted by email to belinda.crothers@sas.ac.uk. Abstracts must include your name, affiliation, email address and a brief note (no more than 2–3 lines) about your research interests and key relevant publications. Any questions about these themes, the suitability of a possible paper, or suggestions for specific panels may be directed by email to the conference convenor, Dr Stephen Skinner: s.j.skinner@exeter.ac.uk.
