Final Call for Papers and Panels "The Making of the Humanities IV"

The fourth conference on the history of the humanities, "The Making of the Humanities IV", will take place at the Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome, from 16 till 18 October 2014.

Goal of the Conference
This is the fourth of a biennially organized conference that brings together scholars and historians interested in the comparative history of the humanities (philology, art history, historiography, linguistics, logic, philosophy, literary studies, musicology, theatre studies, media studies, a.o.). Although histories of single humanities disciplines already exist for a long time, the history of the humanities as a whole has only very recently been investigated, and the first monographs have just appeared.

Theme of the 2014 Conference: Connecting Disciplines
This will be the first Making of the Humanities conference that does not focus on a specific period. We welcome papers and panels on the history of the humanities that focus on any period or region. The theme of the 2014 conference will be Connecting Disciplines, with a special interest in comparing methods and patterns across disciplines -- both within and between regions (e.g. China and Europe).
