CALL FOR PAPERS

&#65533;The European Mind: Narrative and Identity&#65533;

Malta, 24 - 29 July 2006

We live in an age of mass production of narratives. The prophecy of the European
thinkers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, prescribing a paradigm for
the creation of narrative, has become a reality. The result of the mass
production of narratives is the leveling of all narratives, posing a challenge
to authority.  One 'grand narrative' after another is discarded, leaving the
European mind longing for a unifying narrative that crystallizes the European
identity.

The 10th international conference of ISSEI, to be held in Malta in 2006, invites
scholars from various disciplines such as History, Politics, Literature, Arts,
Philosophy, and Religion to examine the European Identity and the multiplicity
of narratives in the age of globalization.

The deadline to submit a proposal for the workshop: »Women`s Narratives in
American Ethnic Literatures: The European Connection« is 15 April 2006.


We look forward to seeing you in Malta in 2006.
