WARBURG INSTITUTE The Warburg Institute (WI), incorporated in the University in 1944, exists principally to further the study of the classical tradition – those elements of European thought, literature, art and institutions which derive from the ancient world. The classical tradition is conceived as the theme which unifies the history of Western civilisation.

The bias is not towards ‘classical’ values in art and literature: students and scholars will find represented all the strands that link medieval and modern civilisation with its origins in the ancient cultures of the Near East and the Mediterranean.

Secret tour of Charles Holden’s Senate House The School, in collaboration with the University of London, is proud to offer a unique opportunity to explore some of the secret spaces of Charles’s Holden’s Art Deco building, Senate House. This landmark building, London’s second highest when it was completed in 1937, is the home of the University of London and houses the Senate House Library as well as five of the School of Advanced Study’s ten institutes. During the Second World War it was used by the Ministry of Information and was the inspiration for George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth in his novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. Senate House has been the location for numerous films and television programmes, including Nineteen Eighty-Four, Richard III, Batman Begins, Agatha Christie’s Poirot, and Jeeves and Wooster. This tour, led by Richard Simpson of the School’s Institute of Classical Studies, will provide insight into the aspirations and the formidable eye-to-detail of Charles Holden. Secrets lie waiting around each corner of this iconic Bloomsbury building, one of the masterpieces of English 20th-century architecture.

Places are strictly limited for this event and you are advised to reserve your place early.

Michelsen Institute, Bergen), Louise Mallinder (Transitional Justice Institute, Ulster), Cath Collins (Universidad Diego Portales, Santiago), Colm Campbell (Transitional Justice Institute, Ulster), Phil Clark (SOAS and Convenor, Oxford Transitional Justice Research), Clara Sandoval (Essex), David Sugarman (Lancaster) Convenors: Par Engstrom (Human Rights Consortium) and Cath Collins (Universidad Diego Portales, Santiago) Over the past decade, Latin America has seen a resurgence of prosecution of individuals responsible for massive human rights violations during recent authoritarian regimes. The UK arrest of former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet in 1998 proved to be merely a first milestone: his Peruvian counterpart Alberto Fujimori recently became the first former head of state ever extradited to his home country to stand trial for human rights crimes. This largely unexpected shift towards accountability in a region that was once a byword for impunity calls into question the suppositions of existing ‘transitional justice’ models, which tend to assume that legal amnesties adopted or preserved at transition will last. It is important for both theorists and practitioners to understand what the present wave of ‘late justice’ involves and what it means.

22–23 October 2010 Institute of Germanic & Romance Studies Room G22/26

The personality cults of modern dictators Maria Wyke (UCL) on Julius Caesar and his legacies, Sudhir Hazareesingh (Oxford) on the legend of Napoleon, and Lucy Riall (Birkbeck) on Garibaldi.

Almost all modern dictators are the subject of personality cults that are highly organised even if they often also rest on spontaneous contributions. By creating a narrative of exceptionality around an individual they harness support and help consolidate a regime. The forms cults take depend on national traditions and histories, patterns of gender relations, and the existence or otherwise of an articulated civil society. In this sense, they are cultural as much as political phenomena. The highly specific nature of each cult means that comparative work is rare. The aim of this conference is to compare different aspects of many cults of personality, and, by so doing, raise new hypotheses of research and lay the foundations for new potential interdisciplinary collaborations.

Winter Conference 2010: Going to war 1939-45 Speakers include: Mark Glancy, Sue Harper and John Chapman A film history seminar series conference hosted by the Institute of Historical Research and the Imperial War Musuem, 22-23 October 2010.

The Second World War remains the most filmed historical phenomenon of modern times. Neither cinemagoers nor film producers seem to tire of epic battles at sea, on land and in the air, heroic POW adventures, and dramas set on the Home Front. The world at war at mid-century is a defining moment in our modernity, and film has become one of the main media through which we locate ourselves in relation to the recent past. But the Second World War was also the heyday of cinemagoing in societies throughout Europe and North America, and the war itself brought about major changes in the technologies and uses of film, from the amateur camera to the official government newsreel and short.

So the role of film in war needs to sit alongside our understanding of the representation of war in film. With this aim in mind the latest IHR Winter Conference has assembled a distinguished cast of film directors and film historians to discuss, debate and view the war on screen.

Exploring the ‘socio’ of socio-legal studies

Speakers include: Monty Raphael (Special Counsel, Peters & Peters), Jean-Pierre Bueb (Paris Central Anti-Corruption Service), Duncan Smith (European Investment Bank) and others Organised in association with the European Criminal Law Association Contact: ials.events@sas.ac.uk

Keynote speaker: Susan S. Silbey (MIT; co-author of The Common Place of Law: Stories from Everyday Life with Patricia Ewick; former editor of Studies in Law, Politics and Society and the Law & Society Review) Confirmed speakers: Nicola Lacey (LSE), John Clarke (Open), Sally Munt (Sussex) The conference will provide an opportunity to explore the meanings and implications of the ‘socio’ aspect of socio-legal studies, and to lay out pathways for future study.

While there has been some scholarship addressing the ‘socio’ of sociolegal studies, there remains considerable scope for further analysis - particularly through this pioneering, dedicated event. The conference offers an opportunity to consider a range of questions, including: Does the ‘socio’ connote the ‘social’ or ‘society’, and what are the implications of those connotations in an era of rapid change? Which social groups or societies have been privileged (and which subordinated) in the concern with the ‘socio’? How might social theory, sociology or other aspects of social sciences inform, or better inform, analysis of law, legal institutions and other objects of legal studies? Do developments in late modernity, such as consumerism, globalisation, or neoliberalism, pose fresh challenges that the ‘socio’ must address? How, if at all, do themes abounding the ‘socio’ in early twentyfirst-century scholarship, such as terrorism or security, create opportunities for new perspectives on the ‘legal’?

Speaker(s) tbc This, the first Commonwealth Conference, will explore what it means to be a citizen of the Commonwealth in the 21st century. The issue of citizenship received only passing mention in the Communiqué of the 2009 CHOGM.Yet the creation of effective forms of citizenship, which offer the maximum potential for the inhabitants of Commonwealth countries to play an active and informed role in shaping their lives and their countries, is an important precondition for the achievement of the Commonwealth’s stated goals in areas as diverse as democratisation, sustainable development, human rights, combating corruption and tackling climate change.

Order’s other histories: re-visiting South America Invited speakers include: Denise Y. Arnold (ILCA,Bolivia & CILAVS; Birkbeck), Dana Leibsohn (Smith), Tristan Platt (St Andrews), Gordon Brotherston (Manchester), Luciana Martins (Birkbeck), Colin McEwan (British Museum).

Convenor: Luciana Martins (Birkbeck) Focusing on South America, this interdisciplinary symposium organized by the Centre for Iberian and Latin American Visual Studies (CILAVS) at Birkbeck aims to foster discussion on the multiple ways of ordering, representing and “othering” nature and society within different experiences of colonial encounters. In the first part of the symposium, invited speakers will address the following questions: to what extent did the context of an informal empire produce different frames for interpreting different colonial experiences? What were the literary, scientific or aesthetic discourses and practices of Hispanic and Portuguese colonial powers in their attempts to control the apparent ‘disorder’ of the different worlds under their rule? In what ways did South Americans borrow from, resist or reconfigure European classifications?

In the second part, the collection of South American textiles held by the British Museum will provide the focus for a roundtable discussion on weaving practices as a particular way of organizing socio-cultural knowledge and histories.

Something stirring in the stack? Why filmmakers enter the library Ian Christie (Birkbeck) Libraries have often provided an incongruous setting for unacademic pursuits on screen, from manhunts to hauntings, and of course seductions. But they also represent knowledge, which is often dangerous as well as enlightening. And in a select group of films ,culminating in Amenabar’s recent “Agora”, the defence of the library becomes a powerful symbol of civilisation itself. Little wonder that filmmakers are heavy borrowers.

The lecture will be followed by a wine reception.

Calls for papers

Calls for papers 2nd Biennial War Crimes Conference: Justice? Whose justice? Punishment, mediation or reconciliation 3–5 March 2011 Institute of Advanced Legal Studies CFP deadline: 31 October 2010 Proposals are invited for papers examining a range of related issues (practical, theoretical and experiencebased), of around 350 words.

This conference is an initiative between SOLON, the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies and the Centre for Contemporary British History at King’s College London, to explore themes surrounding judicial roles and responses to war crimes (broadly construed)– past, present and future – and also responses to such initiatives, from victims/victors, interested agencies and commentators, including the UN, NATO and various local, regional and international NGOs. Does the history of such prosecutions indicate that they should simply expose/reveal or must they always punish? What is the role of mediation in the interests of revelations of ‘truth’, and what impact can strategies for reconciliation have?

As well as papers, there will be workshop sessions, aimed at developing strategies to heighten awareness for practitioners and media professionals, or engaging with them. Suggestions for round tables which address the ways in which a fruitful dialogue between academics, practitioners and professionals including those working within the media in these fields are particularly welcome Website: www.sas.ac.uk/events/view/8045 Contact: Belinda Crothers (Belinda.Crothers@sas.ac.uk)

University College London English graduate conference 2011 4 March 2011 Institute of English Studies CFP deadline: 10 January 2011 False or misleading statements, tall tales and gossip are all paradoxically predicated on some particular ‘truth’ that the speaker or writer is trying to convey. Fiction is essentially a lie (though perhaps not intended to deceive) and its presentation of itself as ‘truth’ and the incorporation of historical fact makes it difficult to distinguish the fact from the fib. Lies and deception amass in non-fiction too: the lies inherent in political rhetoric, the bias of biographies and historical chronicles, the representations of fact in arguments for and against an ideology. We welcome proposals from postgraduate students and early-career researchers in all disciplines for 15-20 minute papers related to this theme.

The sounds of early cinema in Britain: performance, realisation and reception 7–8 April 2011 Institute of Musical Research and the Barbican Centre, London AHRC-Funded Beyond Text Network “The Sounds of Early Cinema in Britain” CFP deadline: 30 November 2010 We invite papers from all relevant disciplines for the last in a series of events designed to establish and develop a research network concerned with the sonic dimensions of “silent” film exhibition in Britain, interpreted in the broadest possible sense. Papers concerning the performance, presentation and/or reception of these sonic practices are particularly welcome, as are presentations by composers and performers. We are especially interested in papers on British practices, but welcome proposals facilitating comparisons. www.sas.ac.uk

103

Calls for papers Research questions might focus on: - Film accompaniment manuals and photoplay collections - Key British cinema performers - Sonic and musical practices in Britain compared to elsewhere, variations in practices according to county or region, rural versus urban setting, and exhibition context.

- Aspects of cine-variety - How differing sonic practices shape our understanding of silent films - Relationships between sonic practices and developments in the narrative structure and purpose of early films (e.g. educational, ‘stories’, newsreel, etc.)

- The practice and/or reception of live accompaniment of early cinema in Britain today (avant garde/pop/ historically conscious...)

Individual Papers: Abstracts of 250 words for individual papers of up to 20 minutes should be e-mailed, as a Word attachment, to music@sas.ac.uk with the subject line: The Sounds of Early Cinema in Britain. We will also consider shorter presentations of around 10 minutes on specific issues relating to the conference themes.

These may be grouped into a panel, or sent individually. Please include your name and title, institutional affiliation (if any), email address, and postal address.

14th British Silent Film Festival 2011 (7th–10th April, 2011) The conference with be sharing its second day (8th April) with the British Silent Film Festival at the Barbican. Papers that include a practice element (composition, performance) are particularly welcome for that day.

Postgraduate scholarships: Postgraduate students working in this, and/or related areas may apply for one of two scholarships (to include basic travel and accommodation, and conference fee and refreshments). Applicants should send the following information to music@sas.ac.uk, marking the subject line “PG Scholarships, The Sounds of Early Cinema in Britain”: name, institution where studying, and an outline of their (related) research project.

Proposals for papers are invited on any aspect of Pound’s interaction with London, and/or the English cultural tradition in general. Proposals may interpret the conference theme in specific or broad terms, relating to Pound’s work and life: poetry, prose, translations, textual analysis, biography, comparative studies, literary or political influence, and/or historical matters. Proposals from postgraduate and younger scholars are encouraged. If you are interested in giving a paper, send a short proposal (approximately 250 words).

Calls for papers Music and Philosophy 1–2 July 2011 Institute of Musical Research and Institute of Philosophy CFP deadline: 10 January 2011 1st Annual Conference of the Royal Musical Association Music and Philosophy Study Group Generously supported by the British Society of Aesthetics and the Centre for Music on Stage and Screen (University of Nottingham) The RMA Music and Philosophy Study Group warmly invites paper submissions for their inaugural two-day international conference, to be held in London on 1-2 July 2011. The event, the first of an annual series of conferences run by the Study Group, will offer an opportunity for musicologists and philosophers to share and discuss work in the hope of furthering dialogue between the two disciplines. Paper submissions on all topics related to the area of music and philosophy are welcome, but in particular those relating to this year’s theme of ‘Opera and Philosophy’. Collaboration between persons from different disciplines would be especially welcomed.

In addition to papers relating to the conference theme, topics of interest might include (but are not limited to): - music, meaning, and language - perception and expression - music and ethics - music and ontology - performance, authenticity, and interpretation Conference theme 2011: ‘Opera and Philosophy’ For centuries, from Rousseau, through Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, to Adorno, Williams, Zizek, Dolar and beyond, opera has captured the imaginations of philosophers. At the same time, musicology has engaged enthusiastically with connections between philosophical thought and operatic themes, such as, for example, the relationship between music and words, the limits and possibilities of opera as social and political expression, and the rich potential of voice as bearer of meaning and subjectivity. This year’s theme of ‘Opera and Philosophy’ seeks to encourage further discussion of opera as a medium which straddles ontological, metaphysical, and hermeneutic spheres, inviting exploration of issues related to areas such as representation, expression, language, narrative, meaning, and ethics.

Proposals of up to 500 words are invited for individual papers (20 minutes) and collaborative papers (up to 30 minutes).

The popular imagination and the dawn of modernism: middlebrow writing 1890–1930 15–16 September 2011 Institute of English Studies CFP deadline: 31 January 2011 This conference seeks to examine the emergence of modernism outside elitist, avant-garde notions, particularly focussing on middlebrow literature. Based on the assumption that such works reached a far wider audience than those of the avant-garde, this conference aims to advance research on the production, dissemination and reception of middlebrow and popular fiction between 1890-1930. Papers are invited which address these themes, and those linked to them, with the common factors being the study of textual works produced during the period 1890-1930, in the “British” world.
