The Organizers
12th INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF OTTOMAN SOCIAL AND
ECONOMIC HISTORY (ICOSEH)
11-15 July 2011, Retz (Lower Austria)
1st Circular (Call for Papers)
It is our pleasure to announce that the 12th International Congress of
Ottoman Economic and Social History (ICOSEH) will be held in Retz (
http://www.telebuero.at/retz/), a small
medieval town some 80 kms to the NW of Vienna and 5kms from the border of
the Czech
Republic, which is easily accessible from Vienna. Arrangements for this
meeting are being
handled under the auspices of International Association of Ottoman Social
and Economic
History (IAOSEH) chaired by Professor Halil Ýnalcýk. The local organizers
are Claudia
Römer and Gisela Procházka-Eisl of the Oriental Institute of Vienna
University.
As in previous meetings, papers are expected to be on aspects of the
economic and social
history of the Ottoman Empire. The Executive Committee of IAOSEH and the
Organizing
Committee urge the submission of pre-organized panels/sessions and workshops
as well as individual papers.
Individual papers will be organized into sections by the Organizing
Committee. Abstracts
for individual papers should not exceed 500 words.
Pre-organized panels/sessions should consist of three papers, plus an
analysis of them by a discussant (or a designated chair) of ten to fifteen
minutes maximum length. The papers
should center on a single theme or question, and the panel proposal should
include an abstract (500 words maximum) for the entire panel explaining its
theme and rationale and how the individual papers contribute to that theme,
in addition to an individual abstract (500 words maximum) for each paper.
Abstracts should have a focused statement of thesis and indicate clearly the
sources employed (if applicable).
Also welcome are thematic workshops/roundtables organized by Chair(s) around
specific
problems or debates in the field. We encourage panels and workshops on any
aspects of
Ottoman-Habsburg history or a comparative study of the two empires.
Workshops/roundtables should consist of short (10-minute) presentations by
the
panelists/invited participants (four to six speakers), leaving a longer time
for discussion of the problem or question. The proposal for a workshop
should specify the problem or debate
being addressed and its significance, as well as a summary of each
panelist's contribution to the discussion.
Applicants should supply the provisional paper titles and abstracts and/or
the initial
proposals and abstracts for pre-organized sessions and workshops by November
1, 2010
(iaoseh.orientalistik@univie.ac.at). The proposals will go through a
selection process by the
Committees, and the applicants will be notified by late January.
The conference languages are English, Turkish, French, and German. Papers
read in other
languages than English should be accompanied by a brief summary in English.
The reduced registration fee for the congress is 90 Euro in case of early
booking by February 1, 2011, and the normal fee will be 110 Euro in case of
later booking. The fees should be paid to the account opened on behalf of
IAOSEH under the name of Claudia Römer and Gisela- Procházka-Eisl. The fees
will cover the expenses of the rent of three session rooms, coffee breaks
including a cold buffet, city tours, and a reception. Lunches,
accommodation, and travel expenses will have to be paid by the participants,
as well as the cost of an optional one-day excursion to be announced later.
Details on how to reach Retz, about accommodation options (with prices) as
well as the account no. will be provided in the second circular letter after
the final confirmation of applications by the Executive Committee of
IAOSEH.
Please note, however, that for the more expensive hotel, the deadline for
booking rooms will be January 31, 2011). Retz and surroundings being an
active region of tourism, it is also
recommendable to book the less expensive rooms as early as possible. Booking
of rooms will be done directly with the different hotels, a list of which
will be included in the second
circular letter.
