CFP (Where “P” = Papers, Precis, Projects-in-Progress & Performances) Symposium on the Greeks, June, 28th, 29th, 30th, 2019 Paros, Greece Deadline for Submissions: October 31st, 2018 Acceptance & Invitation to Register: November 15th, 2018. Early Bird Registration: November 15th 2018 to January 1st, 2019 Deadline for Registration: March 1st, 2019 For submission process, registration details, and Symposiast categories please visit: SymposiumOnTheGreeks.com The Greeks: glorified and exalted throughout history as the progenitors of Western philosophy and political thought, remain today either impugned or celebrated, and thus continue to form the basis of thought and action in human affairs. But what of Greece, the land itself? The very thought of Greece conjures up a heady mixture of diverse images: sugar-cube churches with bright blue domes, deplorable conditions in refugee camps, laurel wreaths and togas at Olympia, anti-austerity protestors clashing with riot-police, amidst a cultural landscape that invokes the legacy of human civilization. Greece’s past embodies the duelling impulses of Dionysus and Apollo, and the world’s enduring gratitude stems from acknowledging that in facing adversity, the Greeks have cultivated some of the most valued and most repudiated ideas of humanity: Democracy and slavery, art and empire, athleticism and war. For thousands of years, the Hellenes have taken the rest of the world on an extraordinary odyssey and along the way given us the conceptual language of critique so that we may exercise the reasoned self-reflexivity needed for meaningful social and political change. With the hustle and bustle of contemporary life, however, few of us have a free moment to listen to the voice of Nana Mouskouri or read the books of Nikos Kazantzakis, let alone study the astronomy of Hypatia or meta-theorize the comedies of Aristophanes. From Agamemnon to Zorba, from Antigone to Zeus, we know the Greeks have left their lasting legacy, but without making a point of learning more about Hellenistic culture, we miss the opportunity to reconnect with the history of thought. This is a call for those who wish to make time for a careful reading, and rethinking of the origin of our ideas and values; to gather together and discuss the ways in which the Greeks continue to influence our present and inform our future. This Symposium on The Greeks in Paros, Greece, is an international, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary event whose aim is to bring together people from a variety of fields to explore and examine the relevance of the Greeks today from artistic, cinematic, ethical, literary, political, philosophical, social and religious perspectives. We invite academics, scholars, creators, performers and historians, artists and archaeologists, poets and economists to contribute their knowledge of all things Greek. Enlighten your fellow Symposiasts about the UN’s responsibility to displaced people on Lesvos, or the movement to repatriate the Parthenon Marbles. Tell us what you know about the gods of Mount Olympus, currency of Byzantium, career of Melina Mercouri, or diet of Ikarian octogenarians. Challenge us with questions like: “Did Aristotle of 384 BC have a last name?” “Did Aristotle of the 1960s have a pre-nup agreement?” Whether your journey takes us to Nazi-occupied Kalavryta, the cosmos of Anaximander, or the graffiti-covered metro stops of Athens, this is the right forum for your work. Together, amidst panoramic views of beautiful Paros, we are bound to elevate our perspective and learn from each other in the style of the classical symposium. Symposiast categories, (which must be specified in subject line during submission process), include: SYMPOSIAST ORATOR: An Orator has a completed presentation ready for an audience. Orators must have their abstract accepted in order to register for this category. Papers with multiple authors require that each author register as an Orator. SYMPOSIAST BUILDER: A Builder is in the midst of a work in progress, either in the form of an incomplete study, an emerging project, a theory-building process or a proposal for research. Builders will workshop their ideas to the audience and may invite feedback. Builders must have a precis accepted in order to register for this category. SYMPOSIAST PERFORMER: A Performer may be an actor, musician, dancer, singer or entertainer that creatively expresses their artistic talent to the other Symposiasts. SYMPOSIAST EXHIBITOR: An Exhibitor has prepared either a visual thesis mounted on a poster board or an art installation. Tables for poster boards and any accompanying visual aids/ handouts OR space for art installation in foyer of Poseidon Conference Centre will be provided. SYMPOSIAST AUDIENCE: An Audience Member will be full participant prepared to offer critique, feedback or accolades to all Orators, Builders, Performers and Exhibitors. Audience Symposiasts are not merely passive receptacles but active, engaged listeners who contribute to the discussion. SYMPOSIASTS in ABSENTIA: If you are unable to attend the event in person, you may register as a Symposiast in Absentia. You must provide a copy of your presentation, precis, poster, performance or exhibit to be included at the Symposium. Topics and categories for Symposiasts can range from philosophical exegesis to analyses of political issues to readings of works of aesthetics or landscape or aspects of culture that stem from or relate to Greece or to Greek-ness, the land, the people, the culture, or the ideas. - Greek mythology - Greek philosophy - The influence of Greek themes in popular culture - The application or analysis of Greek social and political concepts - The Greco-Roman tradition in relation to modernity - Greek theatre, tragedy and comedy - The Greek aesthetic - The role of Greece in contemporary global affairs - The Greek diaspora - Individual Greeks of significance - The collaboration between Greek and Islamic thought in classical antiquity - Etc…….
