The International Society for the Study of Time

Twelfth Triennial Conference: “Time and Memory”

Clare College, Cambridge, UK
July 25-31, 2004

Deadline for submissions: July 30, 2003

CALL FOR PAPERS

The theme of the Society's twelfth conference is Time
and Memory. Memory plays an important role in fields
across the disciplinary spectrum as well as several
strands of contemporary life and culture.

In the face of rapid change in the cosmological,
ecological, geopolitical, technological, cultural and
individual landscapes, the topic of memory takes on
special urgency.  New understandings of memory
emerge in fields ranging from neuroscience and
evolutionary biology to geology and cosmology.
Technological forms of memory raise pressing
social and political issues, amid shifts in our
collective means and modes of memory.  Competing
accounts of history and personal identity
foreground the role of narrative in shaping human
memory.

The Society therefore solicits contributions to the
study of Time and Memory understood in its widest
sense.  Presentation/paper proposals are called for
from all fields of scholarly investigation and all
forms of creative expression. Diverse formats are
welcome: scholarly paper, cross-disciplinary panel
discussion, debate, performance/overview of
creative work, installations, workshop, poster.  All
work is to be presented in English.

Some possible Themes in the field of Time and Memory:
Memory and Neuroscience
Architecture and Memory
Memory and Perception
Memory and Community
Memory and Consciousness
Memory Across Cultures
Memes and Genes

About the ISST and the 2004 Conference Location:
The International Society for the Study of Time (ISST)
encourages the interdisciplinary study of time in all
its aspects.  Founded by J.T. Fraser, the ISST has
held its triennial conferences since 1966 in locations
across the globe.  The volumes in The Study of Time
series comprise collected papers from the conferences.
 The ISST also disseminates work through the
associated publication KronoScope: Journal for the
Study of Time (Brill).

The unique character of intellectual exchange at ISST
Conferences is vested in cross-disciplinary
discussions spurred by participants from around the
world and representing many different areas of
specialization. The Society seeks always to hold its
conferences in a location of memorable beauty and
resonance.

The 2004 Conference at Cambridge University will be
based within the Old Court of Clare College, founded
in 1326 and located in the center of the City,
immediately beside the world-famous King's College
Chapel. Clare's 300-year old drooping stone bridge
across the river Cam is one of the iconic landmarks of
the Cambridge "backs." Delegates will take their meals
in Clare's 17th century dining Hall and stay in
recently-modernized accommodations in the College's
nearby Memorial Court.  The conference program will
include a free day for sight-seeing in Cambridge with
its many ancient colleges, chapels and libraries, and
its magnificent Fitzwilliam Museum of Fine Art.

The free day will conclude with a guided evening
excursion to nearby Ely Cathedral, a landmark in
English medieval architecture whose famous Gothic
lantern has for centuries provided a beacon for
travellers in the Cambridgeshire fens.
