CULTURE & INTERNATIONAL HISTORY IV

Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt/Main, F.R.G.

19 - 21 December 2008

The Center for North American Studies, the Historische Seminar of the Johann
Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main, and the Institute for
Cultural Diplomacy, Berlin, invite proposals for the fourth symposium
dedicated to the study of the role of culture in international relations.
Possible themes include but are not exclusively limited to the social and
psychological structure of diplomacy; the demise of the West as a center of
cultural diplomacy; the role of NGOs and private individuals in the making
of an international order; long-term strategies and developments of cultural
relations; alternative visions of modernity; rooted cosmopolitanism.
Interested scholars may consult the publications emerging from previous
conferences, including Culture and International History (2003) and
Decentering America (2007).

Culture and International History IV will take place at the Campus Westend
of the Johann Wolfgang-Universität Frankfurt am Main

(Germany) from December 19 to 21, 2008. The city features several operas,
theaters, a historical district and a large downtown shopping area besides
seasonal attractions. It is easily accessible by airplane, train or car.
Frankfurt airport is the second largest in Europe and the central hub for
numerous international airlines. Participants arriving from overseas will
fly into Frankfurt airport, then take the train and subway to campus.

To be fully considered proposals must arrive by Monday, March 31, 2008.
Proposals should include: paper title and abstract, and a one-page vita of
the participant. Proposals for panels will likewise be considered
(chair/commentator, three panelists). Pending approval, speakers may apply
for funds to help defray their travel costs and accommodation. Participants
who have an interest in the topic and would like to attend the conference
without delivering a paper are welcome and should likewise contact the
organizers. The conference fee is Euro 50 per person and includes
participation, snacks and beverages. The costs for accommodations in two
nearby hotels across from the campus range between Euro 79 and Euro 125 per
person/night and single room.

Please submit proposals and questions via email to:
