Call for Papers

Theme: Human Rights, Violence and Dictatorship
Type: 5th International Interdisciplinary Conference
Institution: InMind Support
Location: Online
Date: 17.–18.11.2022
Deadline: 28.10.2022

__


In the time when human rights are violated on a regular basis,
violence triumphs, and feeble democracies ever more often back down
before authoritarian rule, there obviously arises the need to reflect
on the possible ways of counteracting such phenomena. Our
interdisciplinary conference is intended as a fitting opportunity for
this reflection. We would like to look at various manifestations of
dictatorship, violence and human rights violation, whether historical
or current. We will describe them in political, social,
psychological, cultural and many other terms. We also want to devote
considerable attention to how the situation of human rights and
dictatorship is represented in artistic practices: in literature,
film, theatre or visual arts.

We invite researchers representing various academic disciplines:
history, politics, psychology, sociology, anthropology, philosophy,
literary studies, theatre studies, film studies, fine arts, design,
memory studies, migration studies, consciousness studies, dream
studies, gender studies, postcolonial studies, medical sciences,
psychiatry, psychoanalysis, cognitive sciences, economics, law and
other.

Different forms of presentations are encouraged, including case
studies, theoretical investigations, problem-oriented arguments, and
comparative analyses.

We will be happy to hear from both experienced scholars and young
academics at the start of their careers: doctoral students. We also
invite all persons interested in participating in the conference as
listeners, without giving a presentation.

We hope that due to its interdisciplinary nature, the conference will
bring many interesting observations on and discussions about the role
of human rights and dictatorship in the past and in the present-day
world.
