UPCOMMING EVENT

EAAS 2008 CONFERENCE THEME:

"E Pluribus Unum" or "E Pluribus Plura"?

Oslo, Norway, 9–12 May 2008

Could it be that there are indeed several “Americas”? Is being an American necessarily being in many ways double? Can the politically unifying, centripetal power of the State, hidden under the neutral Unum, accommodate the centrifugal forces that might generate a societal and cultural “plura” out of the hallowed political and territorial “pluribus”?

Deadlines:

January 31, 2007: Deadline for submission of proposals and one-page abstracts for parallel lectures and workshop sessions, to include a 1/2 page c.v. of workshop chairs and individual lecturers.
