(Association of History, Literature, Science and Technology)
Location: Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain
(National University of Madrid, Spain)
Date: June, 23-25 2010
The 2010 conference theme is “deciphering”, with all its possible referents, including: Do we decipher digits, codes, data, words, texts, images, symbols, natural phenomena, and scientific results? How do we decipher them? By using whatever available: Logic, systematic decoding, scientific knowledge, technological sophistication or anything else? We invite panels and individual papers on these or related topics, but will give full consideration to any proposal within AHLiST’s scope.
The Journal of History, Literature, Science and Technology: JHLiST
Only conference participants will be invited to submit an article (20-page long) for publication. The official publication of the Association is The Journal of History, Literature, Science and Technology (JHLiST), devoted to the research and investigation pertaining to the theories and practices of science, technology, medicine, history and literature. The journal explores the multidisciplinary “consilience,” the linkage of science and humanities to create insights into human endeavors. The JHLiST is a professionally produced, edited, and peer-reviewed academic journal.
