College Court, University of Leicester, 20–22 June 2014 In 2014 the eighteenth and final volume of the Collected Works of Norbert Elias in English will be published by University College Dublin Press. (For details of the volumes, see www.ucdpress.com) The mammoth undertaking, in association with the Norbert Elias Foundation, Amsterdam, and under the stewardship of Professor Stephen Mennell, has taken a decade to bring to fruition. It brings together the entire corpus of Elias’s works, featuring many writings previously unpublished or not hitherto translated into English, faithfully representing his core ideas, which have been widely discussed not just among sociologists, but also among historians, anthropologists, criminologists, International Relations specialists and in the human sciences generally. The conference marking the completion of the whole project will appropriately be held at the University of Leicester, where Elias lived and taught from 1954 to 1977. Craig Calhoun, Director of the London School of Economics, has agreed to give the opening address. Abstracts of no more than 500 words for the conference should be submitted Jason Hughes (jason.hughes@le.ac.uk) not later than 31 December, 2013 For further details, see the full version of this call for papers at: www.eliasconference.com
