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).
