30 September - 2 October 2010, Amsterdam Graduate Philosophy Conference on "Truth, Meaning, and Normativity" (AGPC'10), Allard Pierson Museum, Amsterdam
The Amsterdam Graduate Philosophy Conference 2010 is organised by the Department of Philosophy and the Institute for Logic, Language, and Computation of the Universiteit van Amsterdam. The 3rd Amsterdam Graduate Philosophy Conference is devoted to continue the discussions that were raised in the previous two conferences, as well as to lay the ground for new ones. The theme this year is Truth, Meaning, and Normativity.
We invite submissions from graduate researchers conducting novel philosophical research into any of the three conference topics. We also encourage submissions that inform the discussion about truth, meaning, and/or normativity by offering a philosophical interpretation of results from other fields such as logic, cognitive psychology and linguistics (including formal semantics and sociolinguistics).
Since the topics of truth, meaning, and normativity naturally feed into each other, we also welcome contributions whose particular aim is to explore any of the many intricate ways in which these notions relate to one another. Submissions on the role that these notions have played, or play, in the broad (analytic) tradition or, more specifically, within the linguistic turn are also of interest to the conference.
For more information, please visit the conference website at https://www.illc.uva.nl/agpc/agpc10/, or contact agpc at uva.nl.

21-23 October 2010, The Making of the Humanities II: Second International Conference on the History of the Humanities
This is the second of a biennially organized conference that brings together scholars and historians of humanities disciplines to draw the outlines for a comparative history of the humanities. Although there exist histories of single humanities disciplines, a comparative history would satisfy a long-felt need, and fill a conspicuous gap in intellectual history.
The first highly successful conference, held in 2008, discussed the early modern period. The theme of this year's meeting is From Early Modern to Modern Disciplines, focusing on the period 1600-1900. Topics include all aspects of the history of philology, linguistics, rhetoric, musicology, literary theory, historiography, art history, archeology and other humanities disciplines, with an emphasis on their interrelations.
Registration deadline: 30 september. For more information, see the conference website at https://www.illc.uva.nl/MakingHumanities/2010/.

23 October 2010, Book Presentation, Rens Bod, "De Vergeten Wetenschappen: Een Geschiedenis van de Humaniora" ("The Forgotten Sciences: A History of the Humanities")
This book launches the first comparative history of the humanities from antiquity till today. Rens Bod shows how humanities researchers investigated their material (language, music, art, literature and the past) and the kind of theoretical principles and empirical patterns they found. The book also discusses, from a global perspective (China, India, Arabic world, Europe and Africa), the immense impact the humanities have had on society.
The book presentation will consist of three mini talks by Rens Bod, Joep Leerssen and Floris Cohen, and will be followed by drinks.

The TCSA Day is intended to be an annual event, taking place in the Fall, to alternate with the national NVTI Theory Day that takes place in Spring.

The programme consists of six talks by researchers from CWI, UvA, and VU. There is no need to register. Tea and coffee will be provided. Lunch is not organised, but there is a cafetaria in the CWI building and another one at the UvA building across the street.
