Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2000 17:47:05 +0100 From: Mervyn Hartwig <mh-AT-jaspere.demon.co.uk> Subject: BHA: Call for papers - morphgenesis; DCR Hello all FYI, the April 2000 issue of*Alethia* will carry the following ads: Morphogenesis: Call for Papers Call for papers for a panel at the American Anthropological Association meetings in San Francisco, November 2000, on Margaret Archer's morphogenic social theory. Archer draws on Roy Bhaskar's critical realism to devise a powerful mode of sociocultural analysis which is just beginning to find its way into American anthropology. The panel will be a forum for dialogue on both theoretical and ethnographic applications of morphogenesis, and the account of emergence of novel forms in both culture and society. If interested, or if you know of scholars who might be interested, please contact Derek Brereton: (734) 973-7693, DPBrereton-AT-aol.com. Dialectical Critical Realism: Call for Papers Last year, a call was put out on the bhaskar list for papers on dialectical critical realism for a book in the Critical Realism: Interventions series. For a variety of reasons, it proved impossible to pursue the project at that time, but it is now intended to relaunch the idea. The aim is for a set of essays which discuss, elaborate, engage with the work of Roy Bhaskar on dialectics, particularly his books Dialectic: the Pulse of Freedom (1993)and Plato Etc.(1994). If you are working in this area, and might be interested in contributing to this project, please contact Alan Norrie at the Law School, King's College London, Strand, London WC2R 2LS (email: alan.norrie-AT-kcl.ac.uk).
