Announcing a conference celebrating the tenth anniversary of the
publication of the journal
History of the Human Sciences
Who Speaks? The Voice in the Human Sciences
to be held at Burwalls Conference Centre,
University of Bristol
21st-23rd March, 1997
Supported by the University of Bristol,
The University of the West of England,
and the University of Birmingham
University of Durham
Alumni Foundation (Bristol University)
The conference theme has been developed from a special issue of the journal
`History of the Human Sciences' to be published in 1997. The focus of
discussion will be on the procedures by which utterances, generally written
texts (though the notion will be extended to visual presentations as well)
are
deployed, expressed and put to use in the disciplinary field which
constitutes
the human sciences. The conference is expected to display how such texts
are organised and ultimately how the narrative voice of the scholar and
researcher emerges and articulates its claims. Among the themes will be
disciplinary voices, gendered voices and silent voices.
The conference like the journal special issue will draw on a broad range of
scholarship which may be considered representative of work in the human
sciences. In particular there will be contributions from within humanistic
studies such as English literature, literary theory, classical studies,
standard
social sciences like sociology and anthropology, as well as the broad and
encompassing domain of history with its cross-cutting and overlapping
investigations into art and aesthetics, philosophy and the social studies
of
science, amongst many others.
The conference will be held in a handsome Victorian mansion with extensive
grounds and good modern facilities near the famous Suspension Bridge in
Bristol.
