Papers and proposals for sessions are invited on all aspects of the culture and

encourage papers and proposals that would permit the interdisciplinary
exploration of such questions as the relationship between art, literature, and
science, the engagement with non-European cultures, the relationship between
ethics and political philosophy and practice, the history of rhetoric and
literary scholarship, the protocols of representation, the reconstruction of
epistemologies, etc.
Abstracts and proposals should reach the organizers by 1 November 1993;
acceptances will be made by 20 December; completed papers should be received by
1 February 1994.
