3 - 4 September 2010:
Romanticism and Responsibility
An international conference on Romanticism and Responsibility: Concepts, Debates and Actions in Europe and its Colonies 1770s - 1830s will take place from 3 - 4 September 2010 at the University of Cyprus.
Call for Papers
This conference seeks to explore and interrogate the ways in which Romanticism was a universal call to responsibility, in itself revolutionary. The sense (and senses) of responsibility impelled one to action and gave value and significance to action. Action itself took many different forms and was expressed not only through the physical dynamics of movements and mobilisations but equally through writing, such as, but not limited to, poetry, fiction and journalism, and the arts (especially music and painting). Debates and actions posed the question of individual responsibility towards oneself, individual others, the community, but also the collective responsibility of a community, nation, sex or race, and either individual or collective responsibility towards more abstract notions, such as the nation and history, or non-human others, such as animals, nature and the environment in general.
Proposals for both individual papers and panels are welcome.
