FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS (30.03.05)

ARCHAEOLOGY, ANTHROPOLOGY AND HERITAGE IN THE BALKANS AND ANATOLIA:=20
THE LIFE AND WORKS OF F.W. HASLUCK,
1878-1920.

SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

UNIVERSITY OF WALES GREGYNOG
6th-9th May 2006

The first 'Hasluck' conference took the life and works of F.W. Hasluck =
as the starting point for a wide-ranging exploration of the peoples and =
cultures of south-east Europe looking at such issues as the place of the =
remains of the past in the present, the ethnography of the region, =
nationalism and heritage, western excavation, the schools and institutes =
abroad, the careers and personalities associated with research in the =
area, cultural continuities, and conversion and shared religious =
monuments.

Since that conference, there have been number of enquiries as to when =
the next event may be held.  Emboldened by this, the organisers have =
resolved
to hold a second such event, which will aim to build upon the first, and =
provide at the same time a further body of published material to =
complement the first's proceedings.=20

The location for the second conference will be once more the University =
of Wales Gregynog, a beautiful converted country house in the heart of =
the
Welsh countryside. The conference committee consists likewise of Mr =
Keith Hopwood (University of Wales Lampeter), Professor Stephen Mitchell
(University of Exeter), and Dr David Shankland (University of Bristol).=20

In general, the areas covered by the conference remain that same: that =
is, 'personalities'; the schools abroad'; 'ethnography and the =
Alevi-Bektashis';  'syncretism and conversion';  'travellers, empire and =
nation'; and 'archaeology, heritage and ideology'. The Committee do not =
wish to anticipate the papers that may be offered, but it is hoped more =
specifically that there may be panels as outlined below. In terms of =
content, new archival or field research is welcome, as is wider =
synthesis:

A)  The Life and Work of F. W. Hasluck, and of his wife, Mrs M. Hasluck, =
including figures active or influential in their circle: for instance =
Anderson, Bosanquet, Finlay, Halliday, Harrison, Hogarth, Myres, =
Penrose, Tod, Woodward.=20

B)  The Schools and Institutes abroad: for instance, the Russian =
Institute in Istanbul, the British School at Athens, the German =
Archaeological
Service abroad (particularly but not only in Athens and Istanbul), the =
Foreign Schools in their wider Mediterranean context, and so on.=20

C)  Ramsay and Epigraphic Research in Anatolia: the work, theories and =
life of Ramsay, including consideration of his successors and =
predecessors, such as Hamilton.

D)  Archaeology and Archaeologists in the Ottoman Empire, whether =
'official', (such as Hamdi Bey); 'free-lance' (such as Van Lennup), or =
from the West (such as Newton).=20

E)  The ethnography of the region in general, but especially the =
heterodox groups such the Alevis, Bektashis, Yezidis, or Pomaks, their =
geographical distribution and their present circumstances.

F)  Heritage and the creation of culture in diverse regional contexts: =
that is, the relationship between nationalism, archaeology and heritage, =
and whether systematic patterns or local divergences may be observed in =
this complex relationship across the region.=20

G)  Cultural continuities, including, as well as continuities, issues =
surrounding culture, conflict and conversion, and the way that social =
breakdown may impact upon hitherto shared aspects of culture, such as =
shrines or religious monuments.

H)  Ethnographic researches particularly into contemporary =
understandings of the remains of the past in the region, and possible =
distinctions that may be made between individual and collective memory.=20

I)  The establishment of modern disciplinary boundaries, such as the =
reform of the Cambridge Tripos in the late nineteenth century, or the =
emergence of social anthropology and its split from archaeology, and =
implications for our research.

The Committee would like to emphasise that there is no disciplinary =
restriction, and no insistence upon any one historical (or =
pre-historical period). They also welcome proposals for topics within =
the overall spirit of the event that may not be covered by the above. In =
the first instance, those who would like to take part are invited to =
forward a proposed title and abstract of 150 words, along with their =
name and contact address, to DShankland1@yahoo.co.uk and =
D.P.Shankland@Bristol.ac.uk. Any member of the Committee would also =
naturally be delighted to answer informal enquiries. It is intended that =
the conference proceedings be published, edited jointly by Shankland and =
Hopwood.=20
