2014

A finales de julio y principios de agosto de 2014 tuvo lugar el Congreso de la Society for Emblema Studies en Kiel (Alemania). Nos parece muy interesante la experiencia que han llevado a cabo de ofrecer sus materiales de trabajo en la plataforma Arkyves. Así lo presentaba el responsable de la iniciativa, Hans Brandhorst:

Papers presented at the 10th International Conference of the Society for Emblem Studies held at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität in Kiel (Germany), 27 July – 1 of August 2014.

This page is a joint experiment of the Society for Emblem Studies and Arkyves to bring together the papers that were presented at the International Conference of the Society in Kiel at the end of July 2014. Not every society member was able to travel to Kiel. Those that were, could only be present at 25% of all lectures, at most, as the conference was divided over four parallel sessions. Also, in my plenary lecture, I invited the participants to the conference, to share their shoebox, inviting them not only to show the finished results of their work, i.c. their lecture, but also to share their source material – as far as possible – with their colleagues. The Chair of the Society, professor Ingrid Höpel, after consulting with the committee and the advisory board, decided to accept my suggestion to use Arkyves as a platform to bring together as many of the conference’s lectures as possible.
This page is an Open Access page, meaning that its contents and the papers to which it links, are also accessible to individuals and institutions who do not subscribe to Arkyves.
