CONF.- 1st Int'l Conference on Kyrgyz Carpets, ICOC, Aug. 31-Sept. 2, Bishkek

First International Conference on Kyrgyz Carpets
Aug. 31 - Sept. 2, 2002
Bishkek

Call for Papers

The Academic Committee of the 1st International Conference on Kyrgyz Carpets
invites proposals from those interested in presenting a paper at the
Kyrgyzstan 2002 conference. These should be submitted by end of June 1, 2002
and they should consist of as much information as the author can supply
about the chosen subject. Papers should be focused upon Kyrgyz rugs, related
textiles, reed screen, felts or historical or ethnographic issues relating
to nomadic people living in the newly independent republic of Kyrgyzstan or
neighboring regions.

The Committee would like a summary or synopsis of the paper. While we are
prepared to consider a proposal on this basis, we would prefer to have a
clearly reasoned account of:

New information that will be presented; how it concurs or disagrees with
currently accepted information or opinion; an accurate and clear description
of the visual materials that will be used in the presentation and for
publication.

Authors may take one to three pages to submit this information and may
include copies of slides thought to be crucial to the subject.

The 30-minute format for the papers will have some flexibility. If an author
can convince the committee that more time is justified to treat the subject
adequately, we can allocate 30 minutes or more to a limited number of papers.

The committee is eager to encourage the presentation of fresh information
about Central Asia, and above all the relatively unknown Kyrgyz weaving and
Kyrgyz cultural heritage. The quality of visual materials will be an
important factor in selecting proposals for presentations.

Presenting authors will not be required to pay the basic conference
registration fee. Money will be available to assist with travel expenses and
accommodations as much as the conference budget allows. In return for this
financial assistance, it is expected that authors will submit their papers
for future publication about this conference.

Proposals for papers should be sent to:

Peter Gangler
Member of the Academic Committee
D-79650 Schopfheim - Gundenhausen 13c - Germany
