ISCH 2010 annual conference

Cultural Histories: Close Readings, Critical Syntheses

Turku, May 26th to 30th, 2010

The International Society for Cultural History 2010 conference is called "Cultural Histories: Close Readings, Critical Syntheses". It investigates the role of the "grand narratives" and holistic interpretations in cultural history, and invites participants to investigate the challenges involved in combining the various micro and macro levels, and to ask, what are the new viewpoints offered by cultural history in this. Everyone is invited to propose sessions and invidividual papers for the conference; further thematic characterizations can be found in the CFP, and proposals for papers and sessions should be sent in by October 30th.

The conference is also proud to present a selection of keynote speakers: Carlo Ginzburg, Sir Christopher Frayling, Jacques Revel, Miri Rubin and Marja Tuominen.

The conference is organized by the Department of Cultural History at the University of Turku.
