Duration
12 Apr 2027 - 16 Apr 2027
From 12th to 16th April 2027, we will be holding the thirteenth in vivo Dubrovnik Conference on the Philosophy of Art. We welcome proposals for presentations ranging across the full range of issues in the philosophy of art and aesthetics. On the middle day of the conference (14th April), there will be presentations on a selected theme with invited papers. If you are interested in participating, please send a title and a brief abstract to David Davies at david.davies@mcgill.ca by March 12th 2027 at the latest (and earlier if possible because there is a limited number of slots available). We'll notify all those who provide abstracts and titles as to whether their proposals have been accepted within a couple of days of that deadline, and earlier in the case of submissions received before the deadline. We can also provide, if requested, formal letters of invitation for those whose submissions have been accepted. A draft of the programme will be circulated two weeks prior to the conference. There will be five or six sessions each day, with a lengthy lunch break (up to 3 hours) to allow participants to continue their discussions or to explore the Old Town. Presentations in regular sessions should be no longer than 40 minutes, allowing 20 minutes for discussion. Graduate students and those wishing to present shorter papers can give 20 minute presentations, with ten minutes for discussion.
We unfortunately cannot pay any expenses for participants, but hope this will not prove too much of a discouragement. Apartment accommodation in the Old Town is available at a very reasonable cost. There will be a small conference fee (85 Euros, we will try to cover this for students) in order to cover our obligations to the IUC for the use of the conference centre.
