Evolving Humanity, Emerging Worlds

The congress will be held in the city of Manchester, United Kingdom, from Monday, August 5 to Saturday, August 10, 2013, hosted by the University of Manchester with the support of Manchester City Council. This is the first world congress to be held in Britain since the first meeting of the International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences was held in London in 1934. The Congress Agenda is being planned by a UK Organizing Committee which includes anthropologists working in all sub-fields of the discipline. We are proud to have the privilege of organizing what we hope will be a truly memorable event.

39th Annual AAH Conference & Bookfair

Children and Youth in a Changing World

The 2012 Inter-congress of International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (IUAES) is a multi-disciplinary international conference on “Children and Youth in a Changing World”. We will examine childhood cross-culturally and historically to gain the richest and best-informed perspective for looking at children in the present and moving forward. The Inter-congress will be organised by the IUAES Commission on Anthropology of Children, Youth and Childhood in Bhubaneswar, India during November 26-30, 2012. The principal aim of this congress is to bring anthropologists in academia, governmental organisations, non-governmental organisations and agencies working on and with children from different parts of the world and offer them a common platform to address various emerging issues relating to children and childhood.

Mortality and Imagination: the Life of the Dead in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance

International Medieval Congress

The International Medieval Congress (IMC) is organised and administered by the Institute for Medieval Studies (IMS). Since its start in 1994, the Congress has established itself as an annual event with an attendance of over 1,500 medievalists from all over the world. It is the largest conference of its kind in Europe.

Dickens and the Visual Imagination

Dickens is renowned for the richness of his visual imagination and his publications encouraged readers to interpret his words with and through their accompanying illustrations. Not only was Dickens deeply engaged with ideas of the visual in his writing, but his work has also provoked responses from artists across multiple disciplines within the Victorian period and beyond. The conference seeks to build on recent interdisciplinary work (such as that of Kate Flint and Isobel Armstrong) that illuminates nineteenth-century understandings of visual culture. By focussing the conference through a writer whose work is embedded in the visual imagination, Dickens will provide a test case for examining and theorising the connection between text and image across two hundred years of cultural history.
