----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- ASSOCIATION CHARLES GIDE POUR L'ETUDE DE LA PENSEE ECONOMIQUE KEYNES: PAST AND FUTURE Universite du Quebec a Montreal Montreal, Quebec, Canada June 20-21 2002 Without doubt, the activities and work of John Maynard Keynes dominate not only the economic thought but also the economic, social and political developments of the century that has just drawn to a close. Like Marx, Keynes was one of the few economists who lent his name to an intellectual current, and even a revolution. After his death, in 1946, Keynes' ideas, often heavily disguised, became prominent in textbooks and in economic policy, before being thrown into question by what is now termed neoliberalism. In the last few years, his ideas have attracted renewed interest. It seems appropriate, therefore, to take stock of Keynes' enormous contribution, which touched upon not only economics but also philosophy and political thought, and to consider its relevance to the 21st century. We are thus inviting papers on all aspects of his thought, action and influence. They may deal with his work in historical context or with its current utility. It is time to ask: "What remains of Keynes?". Proposals (of 2 pages maximum) should be sent, by post or, ideally, electronic mail, to Gilles Dostaler or Nathalie Sigot, no later than February 6, 2002. The scientific committee will reply during the week of February 18th. Conference papers (maximum 40,000 characters) should be sent to discussants and chairmen before May 31, 2002. Further suggestions concerning the presentation of papers will be given to participants in due course. Information on registration fees, accomodation and other logistical aspects will be provided later. The Universite du Quebec a Montreal (UQAM), where the conference will take place, is located in the heart of Montreal, at the intersection of Saint Denis and Saint Catherine streets. June is typically a pleasant month, weatherwise, and is also a particularly lively time of the year, with many activities taking place, including Montreal's famous Jazz Festival.
