AUSTRALIA/JAPAN: International Kierkegaard Conference, Ormond College, University of Melbourne, 2nd-5th December, 2005. Sponsored by the Kierkegaard Society of Japan (Kyoto). This will be the first Kierkegaard conference and the first international Kierkegaard conference to be held in Australia. It is also the first international conference of the Kierkegaard Society of Japan (Kyoto).
The objective of the conference is to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Søren Aabye Kierkegaard's death through celebrating his work in philosophy and theology. As this will be the very first Kierkegaard conference held in the Pacific Rim, the conference organizers are especially interested in how Kierkegaard has been received and interpreted in Asia. Thus they invite all those with an interest in Asian philosophy and religion, in addition to Kierkegaard scholars from around the world, to respond to the call for papers or as ordinary conference participants. There will be opportunities for both scholars and postgraduate students to present their research. The official conference language is English.
Papers will be 40 minutes in length, followed by 20 minutes discussion time. Please note that there will be two streams in separate conference rooms:
The Kierkegaard Stream: All original research on Kierkegaard's philosophical and religious contributions will be acceptable.
The Asian Studies Stream: Original research dealing with any Asian philosophy or religion with respect to Kierkegaard's work will be acceptable. On two of the evenings of the conference, there will be a joint discussion by two noted scholars, and a panel discussion. There will also be an opportunity to tour the new Malantschuk Collection of Kierkegaardian research in the Joint Theological Library at Ormond College.
Call for Papers: Those interested in presenting their research at the conference should send the following information by email to the Selection Committee before 30 March 2005: Email: Call for papers (dornier@kansaigaidai.ac.jp):
