====================== HES POSTING ======================= ***Forwarded from COCTA-L by Esther-Mirjam Sent*** 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.
