CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop: The Arts and Imagination: the role of metaphors, tropes and images in shaping experience and guiding action.
Venue and Dates: Adelaide, July 3rd- 6th, 2017 (University of Adelaide & Art Gallery of SA)
Organised by the ArtSense Taste and Community project (Australian Research Council funded project): http://artsense.edu.au/
Submission Deadline: 30th November 2016
This workshop is also sponsored by the American Society for Aesthetics (ASA); and most sessions will run as a stream within the annual conference of the Australasian Association of Philosophy: http://aap.org.au/
The papers will address topics which bear upon the way cultural artifacts acquire meaning and value as an example of the process by which communities establish shared terms of reference.
The organisers invite proposals for presentations of 35 mins (+ 20 mins Q&A). There are 3-4 slots available. The proposal should be sent as a full length paper (reading time 35 mins) suitable for anonymous review. A travel grant of up to $2000 will be awarded to the best paper by a graduate student or untenured faculty who does not otherwise have access to travel funds for this meeting. This grant is only available to an ASA member.
Proposals should be sent to diane.stringer@adelaide.edu.au by 30th November 2016.
It is an assumption of our approach that bringing philosophers together from different areas and traditions within philosophy, has immense potential for furthering understanding of the problems we seek to address within philosophy; and philosophy’s relevance to the community more broadly.
