Summer School: The Genome Society. ELSA
Genomics State of the Art and Beyond

University of Amsterdam June 5 - 9, 2006

http://www.ishss.uva.nl/ELSA

The Genomics and Society Summer Programme seeks to explore the status of 
research into the ethical, legal and social aspects (ELSA) of genetics, 
the merits of ELSA genomics research and its proclaimed societal 
engagement, both in decision making and in public interaction. The 
Summer Programme is open to individuals with a focused interest in 
society and genomics (PhD/post doc) and policy makers who want to deepen 
their theoretical understanding of ELSA genomics. Members of the Arts 
and Genomics Centre will host a session on the theme "Communication and 
Education: the use of imagination".

Conference: Beyond Mimesis and Nominalism: Representation in Art and 
Science

London, 22-23 June 2006

http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/artAndScience

Representations play a critical role in both science and art. Perceived 
as different in kind, artistic and scientific representations have been 
studied as objects of distinct disciplinary and intellectual traditions. 
However, recent work in both the philosophy of science and studies of 
the visual arts suggests that these apparently different 
representational traditions may be related in challenging and 
provocative ways. This conference seeks to open conversations between 
and beyond these compartmentalized traditions of thinking about 
representation.


Call for Papers: Historicide and Reiteration. Innovation in the
sciences, humanities and the arts

Maastricht, February 9-10 2007

Deadline 15th May 2006

http://www.artsgenomics.org

This symposium wants to investigate the convergences and divergences 
between the sciences and the arts by taking our cue from the ways in 
which they position themselves vis-a-vis their past. It aims at a 
thorough evaluation of the contrast between historicide and reiteration 
as a potentially fruitful perspective on the interrelations between the 
three cultures.



Close Encounters (SLSA)

Amsterdam, 13-16 June 2006

http://www.slsa.nl

The conference programme can now be found online. An Arts and Genomics 
Stream features as part of the programme, including two sessions hosted 
by The Arts and Genomics Centre.


International Conference: Art and Metaphysics in the Twentieth Century 
and Beyond

Bremen, 18-21 May 2006

http://www.iu-bremen.de/news/events/05458

This conference approaches the relation of art and metaphysics from two 
directions. The first centres upon philosophical problems of meaning and 
ontology in the visual arts, and also the way in which they might 
disclose broader metaphysical truths about humanity´s relation to the 
cosmos. The other approach centres on the use of metaphysical and 
cognate ideas such as the scientific and religious in specific 
twentieth-century and contemporary art-historical contexts.
