AEEII Conference
II AEEII Conference, November 23-26, 2011.
II Biennial Conference of the Spanish Association for Interdisciplinary
India Studies: "Other" Indias: The Richness of Indian Multiplicity
November 23-26, 2011: Universidad de La Laguna, Tenerife, Canaries, Spain.
The Spanish Association for Interdisciplinary India Studies holds its second
International Conference in 2011, and welcomes papers from a variety of
fields (including politics, literary criticism, sociology, philosophy,
history, ecology, anthropology, technology, economics, and others) which
consider the multiplicity of the Indian mosaic. We invite proposals that
look into the ways in which India (and the Indian subcontinent) is
represented and explored, with special emphasis on difference in plurality,
and diversity in unity. Other topics may include cultural assimilation, shadows
of India in the Western world and vice versa, the rewriting of the Indian
canon, the problematization of Indian idiosyncrasy and the narration of the
various Indian diasporas in the world, among other possibilities. We will
also include parallel sessions with miscellaneous papers not strictly
related to the topic.
The Conference will be hosted by the University of La Laguna (Facultad de
Filología & Dept of English and German Studies) at the Canary Island of
Tenerife, Spain, during November 23 (starting Weds Afternoon) till November
26 (ending Sat Morning), 2011.
Complete affiliation of author(s), and paper title, as well as telephone,
fax, mail and e-mail addresses, should be submitted before June 30, 2011.
Abstracts (around 250 words) will be evaluated by the Conference Academic
Committee and authors will be informed of their acceptance by end-July 2011.
Papers should not exceed 10 pages (2,500-3,000 words; 20 minutes? delivery)
and they can be presented either in English or Spanish. A peer-reviewed
selection of the conference papers (in the English version) will be
considered for publication under the format of a book.
Please, email abstract and bio-note to the organizing committee (jioliva@ull.es)
