INTERNATIONAL
WORKSHOP, “HERMOUPOLIS SEMINARS”, SYROS, 8-9 JULY 2016
“NATURE(S), HUMANS AND GOD(S) IN LITERATURE.
REPRESENTATIONS”
The International Commission on Science and
Literature DHST/IUHPST, the Institute of Historical Research/ National Hellenic
Research foundation and the Hellenic Open University organize a two-days’
workshop to study the representations of Nature, Humans and God(s) in
Literature. The workshop is part of the very prestigious “Hermoupolis Seminars”
which have been organized for more than 30 years every July on Syros Island.
The main question addressed by the papers of
the workshop will be the scientific content of the nature(s)’, humans’ and
god(s)’ representations in all forms of literature. Furthermore, the role or lack thereof of scientific
accuracy in such works will also be considered.
The venue of the workshop will be the
“Historical Archives of the State” in the Town Hall of Hermoulis. Hermoupolis
was once the capital of Greece and a city of great cultural, scientific and
industrial heritage. Syros Island is very close to Pireaus by boat and an ideal
place for quality, inexpensive summer holidays.
Those who are willing to participate in the
workshop with a presentation may send an abstract of 200 words to gvlahakis@yahoo.com or until 30 April 2016.
Languages:
English, Greek, French, German
For participants giving a paper there will be a
modest fee of 50 Euros and for those who will attend without a paper a fee of
40 Euros to cover administrational expenses.
There will be some hotels with reduced prices on offer for the
participants but there are plenty of places, in Hermoupolis or close by, with
very convenient prices.
Coffee and refreshments will be offered.
