The third conference of The International Alfred Schutz Circle for Phenomenology and Interpretive Social Science will be held in Tokyo, Japan , and will highlight “The Symbolic Construction of Reality.”
For the conference The International Alfred Schutz Circle for Phenomenology and Interpretive Social Science calls for papers with a focus on the relevance of symbols for reality construction. Both empirical and theoretical papers will be acceptable. Different kinds of academic perspectives from the social sciences, philosophy, history, art theory, etc., are in the same way welcome as concrete analyses of symbolic forms. Inter- and transdisciplinary perspectives are also encouraged as well as critical approaches.
There will be sessions in addition that are principally open to other topics within the Schutzian paradigm. Paper proposals are not necessarily bound to the main topic of the conference. Session proposals are also welcome.
Propositions have to be written in English. Please submit an abstract of approximately 500 words. To be considered all presentation proposals must include names, paper titles, affiliation, five key words, and full contact information including emails.
