THE NIETZSCHE RESEARCH GROUP
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NIJMEGEN, THE NETHERLANDS,
ANNOUNCES A CONFERENCE ON

NIETZSCHE'S
GEBRAUCH DER / USE OF
SPRACHE / LANGUAGE
September 21-23, 2000
Provisional announcement

In September 2000 the Nietzsche Research Group at Nijmegen University
will organize an international conference on Nietzsche's use of
language. The aim of the event will be to create a platform where
(advanced) Nietzsche scholars can meet and enter into discussion on a
field of interest which is central to the Nijmegen research project,
"Nietzsche's philosophical writings: a dictionary with an analysis of
his philosophical practice and performative authorship".

(For further information with regard to the project, see our webpage:
www.kun.nl/phil/algemeen/nietzsche.html)

Ten to fifteen linguists and philosophers from Europe and the US will
submit papers on the basis of which seminar sessions will be held.
Topics for discussion include: Nietzsche's vocabulary, his styles and
use of rhetoric, his form of quotation, issues in translating
Nietzsche, and other issues. The conference will be bilingual (English
and German). All participants and speakers should therefore have at
least a passive mastery of both languages, and an active mastery of
either German or English.
PhD-students and postdoctoral researchers are invited to participate in
the discussions. Those wishing to participate are asked to send a
letter of application describing their research. Applicants will be
selected on the basis of the relevance and quality of their research.
Letters of application should be in by January 1, 2000. They should be
sent to Hester IJsseling, see address below.

Provisional list of speakers: Benjamin Biebuyck (Gent, Belgium), Daniel
Conway (Pennsylvania, US), Samuel IJsseling (Leuven, Belgium), Anghle
Kremer-Marietti (Amiens, France), Duncan Large (Swansea, UK), Wolfgang
M|ller-Lauter (Berlin, Germany), Gerd Schank (Nijmegen, the
Netherlands), Hartmut Schmidt (Mannheim, Germany), Johannes Schwitalla
(W|rzburg, Germany), Gary Shapiro (Richmond Virginia, US), Paul van
