Humanities Conference, 2014
Dear Delegate,
Welcome to the Twelfth International Conference on New Directions in the Humanities. The Humanities Conference explores
the future of the humanities in an intellectual and social milieu that all-too-often is dominated by the logics of economy and
techno-science. What are the distinctive characteristics of humanities thinking, inquiry and teaching? Under what terms can
the humanities make a claim to significance?
The conference represents a marvelous collage of specific instances of study in the humanities and presentations that think
in more general terms about the character of the humanities. Over the past twelve years, the Humanities Conference has
established a reputation as a focal point for new ideas and new practices in humanities research and teaching. The
conference was held at the University of the Aegean in Rhodes, Greece in 2003; Monash University Centre, Prato, Italy in
2004; Cambridge University, Cambridge, UK in 2005; University of Carthage in Tunis, Tunisia in 2006; The American
University of Paris, Paris, France in 2007; Fatih University, Istanbul, Turkey in 2008; the Friendship Hotel in Beijing, China in
2009; the University of California, Los Angeles, USA in 2010; the Universidad de Granada, Granada, Spain in 2011; the
Centre Mont Royal in Montreal, Canada in 2012; Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest in 2013; and next year we are pleased
to hold the conference at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.
In addition to organizing the Humanities Conference, Common Ground publishes papers from the conference at
www.Humanities-Journal.com, and we encourage all conference participants to submit a paper based on their conference
presentation for peer review and possible publication in the journal. We also publish books at http://thehumanities.com in
both print and electronic formats. We would like to invite conference participants to develop publishing proposals for original
works, or for edited collections of papers drawn from the journal which address an identified theme.
Common Ground also organizes conferences and publishes journals in other areas of critical intellectual human concern,
including diversity, museums, technology, learning and the arts, to name several (http://commongroundpublishing.com).
Our aim is to create new forms of knowledge community, where people meet in person and also remain connected virtually,
making the most of the potentials for access using digital media. We are committed to creating a more accessible, open
and reliable peer review process. Alongside opportunities for well-known academics, we are creating new publication
openings for academics from developing countries, for emerging scholars and for researchers from institutions that are
historically teaching-focused.
Thank you to our 2014 hosts and colleagues at Universidad San Pablo CEU for their support and organization, most
especially Rector Juan Carlos Domínguez. A personal thank you goes to our Common Ground colleagues who have put
such a significant amount of work into this conference: Jamie Burns, Raquel Jimenez Palomino, Emily Kasak, and Kathryn
Weisbaum.
We wish you the best for this conference and hope it will provide you every opportunity for dialogue with colleagues from
around the corner and around the globe.
Yours Sincerely,
Bill Cope

ABOUT COMMON GROUND
Our Mission
Common Ground Publishing aims to enable all people to participate in creating collaborative knowledge and to share that
knowledge with the greater world. Through our academic conferences, peer-reviewed journals and books, and innovative
software, we build transformative knowledge communities and provide platforms for meaningful interactions across diverse
media.
Our Message
Heritage knowledge systems are characterized by vertical separations—of discipline, professional association, institution,
and country. Common Ground identifies some of the pivotal ideas and challenges of our time and builds knowledge
communities that cut horizontally across legacy knowledge structures. Sustainability, diversity, learning, the future of the
humanities, the nature of interdisciplinarity, the place of the arts in society, technology’s connections with knowledge, the
changing role of the university—these are deeply important questions of our time which require interdisciplinary thinking,
global conversations, and cross-institutional intellectual collaborations. Common Ground is a meeting place for these
conversations, shared spaces in which differences can meet and safely connect—differences of perspective, experience,
knowledge base, methodology, geographical or cultural origins, and institutional affiliation. We strive to create the places of
intellectual interaction and imagination that our future deserves.
Our Media
Common Ground creates and supports knowledge communities through a number of mechanisms and media. Annual
conferences are held around the world to connect the global (the international delegates) with the local (academics,
practitioners, and community leaders from the host community). Conference sessions include as many ways of speaking as
possible to encourage each and every participant to engage, interact, and contribute. The journals and book series offer
fully-refereed academic outlets for formalized knowledge, developed through innovative approaches to the processes of
submission, peer review, and production. The knowledge community also maintains an online presence—through
presentations on our YouTube channel, monthly email newsletters, as well as Facebook and Twitter feeds. And Common
Ground’s own software, Scholar, offers a path-breaking platform for online discussions and networking, as well as for
creating, reviewing, and disseminating text and multi-media works.
THE HUMANITIES KNOWLEDGE COMMUNITY
The Humanities knowledge community is dedicated to the concept of independent, peer-led groups of scholars,
researchers, and practitioners working together to build bodies of academic knowledge related to topics of critical
importance to society at large. Focusing on the intersection of academia and social impact, The Humanities knowledge
community brings an interdisciplinary, international perspective to discussions of new developments in the field, including
research, practice, policy, and teaching.

Scope and Concerns
Humanities-Science-Technology
The western roots of techno-science are the Greek concept of ‘techne’, and its Latin equivalent ‘ars’. These roots tell of a
narrowing of definition in modern times, and of a particular kind. It is a narrowing which dehumanizes techno-science,
reducing it to programs of merely instrumental rationality. More broadly, by contrast, ‘techne’ and ‘ars’ meant art, craft and
science, a kind of practical wisdom involving both doing (application of technique, using tools) and reasoning (understanding
the principles underlying the material and natural world). These ‘arts’ are the stuff of human artifice, and the result is always
an aesthetic (those other ‘arts’) and human value-drenched, as well as instrumental. Such is an artfulness that can only be
human, in the fullness of our species being. Now is the time to broaden the agenda of techno-science once again. How
better than to redefine science and technology as ‘arts’?
!Indeed, our times may well demand such a redefinition. The new technologies and sciences of informatics, for instance, are
infused to a remarkable degree with the human of the humanities: the human-centered designs which aim at ‘usability’; the
visual aesthetics of screen designs; the language games of search and tag; the naming protocols and ontologies of the
semantic web; the information architectures of new media representations; the accessibility and manipulability of information
mashups that make our human intelligence irreducibly collective; and the literariness of the code that drives all these things.
So too, new biomedical technologies and sciences uniquely inveigle the human—when considering, for instance, the ethics
of bioscience and biotechnology, or the sustainability of the human presence in natural environments.
Humanities-Economy-Commerce
Returning to roots again, the Greek ‘oikonomi’ or the Latin ‘oeconomia’ integrate the human in ways now all-too-easily lost
to the more narrowly understood contemporary understandings of econo-production. In the modern world, ‘economy’ and
‘production’ have come to refer to action and reflection pertaining to the domains of paid work, the production of goods
and services, and their distribution and market exchange. At their etymological source, however, we find a broader realm of
action—the realm of material sustenance, of domesticity (the Greek ‘oikos’/household and ‘nemein’/manage), of work as
the collaborative project of meeting human needs, and of thrift (economizing), not just as a way of watching bottom lines,
but of conserving human effort and natural resources.
Today more than ever, questions of the human arise in the domain of the econo-production, and these profoundly imbricate
human interests, needs and purposes. Drawing on the insights of the humanities and a renewed sense of the human, we
might for instance be able to address today’s burning questions of economic globalization and the possible meanings and
consequences of the ‘knowledge economy.’
The Humanities Themselves
And what of the humanities in themselves and for themselves? To the world outside of education and academe, the
humanities are considered by their critics to be at best esoteric, at worst ephemeral. They seem to have less practical
‘value’ than the domains of techno-science and econo-production.
But what could be more practical, more directly relevant to our very existence than disciplines which interrogate culture,
place, time, subjectivity, consciousness, meaning, representation and change? These disciplines name themselves
anthropology, archaeology, art, communication, arts, cultural studies, geography, government, history, languages,
linguistics, literature, media studies, philosophy, politics, religion and sociology. This is an ambitious program even before
mention of the social sciences and the professions of community service which can with equal justification be regarded as
closely related to the humanities, or even subjects of the humanities, more broadly understood.
Within this highly generalized scope, the Humanities Conference, Journal Collection, Book Imprint and News Weblog have
two particular interests:
Interdisciplinarity: The humanities is a domain of learning, reflection and action which require dialogue between and across
discipline-defining epistemologies, perspectives and content areas.
Globalism and Diversity: The humanities are to be considered a space where recognizes the dynamics of differences in
human history, thought and experience, and negotiates the contemporary paradoxes of globalization. This serves as a
corrective to earlier modes of humanities thinking, where one-sided attempts were made to refine a singular essence for an
agenda of humanism.
The humanities come into their own in unsettling spaces like these. These kinds of places require difficult dialogues, and
here the humanities shine. It is in discussions like these that we might be able to unburden ourselves of restrictively narrow
knowledge systems of techno-science and econo-production.
The conversations at the conference and the publications in the journals, book series and online community range from the
broad and speculative to the microcosmic and empirical. Whatever their scope or perspective, the over-riding concern is to
redefine the human and mount a case for the humanities. At a time when the dominant rationalisms are running a course
that seems at times draw humanity towards ends that are less than satisfactory, the disciplines of the humanities reopen
fundamental questions of the human—for pragmatic as well as redemptory reasons.

THE HUMANITIES JOURNAL COLLECTION AND BOOK SERIES
About Our Publishing Approach
For three decades, Common Ground Publishing has been committed to creating meeting places for people and ideas. With
24 knowledge communities, Common Ground’s vision is to provide platforms that bring together individuals of varied
geographical, institutional, and cultural origins in spaces where renowned academic minds and public thought leaders can
connect across fields of study. Each knowledge community organizes an annual academic conference and is associated
with a peer-reviewed journal (or journal collection), a book imprint, and a social media space centered around Common
Ground’s path-breaking ‘social knowledge’ space, Scholar.
Through its publishing practices, Common Ground aims to foster the highest standards in intellectual excellence. We are
highly critical of the serious deficiencies in today’s academic journal system, including the legacy structures and exclusive
networks that restrict the visibility of emerging scholars and researchers in developing countries, as well as the
unsustainable costs and inefficiencies associated with traditional commercial publishing.
In order to combat these shortcomings, Common Ground has developed an innovative publishing model. Each of Common
Ground’s knowledge communities organizes an annual academic conference. The registration fee that conference
participants pay in order to attend or present at these conferences enables them to submit an article to the associated
journal at no additional cost. Scholars who cannot attend the conference in-person may still participate virtually and submit
to the journal by obtaining a community membership, which also allows them to upload a video presentation to the
community’s YouTube channel. By using a portion of the conference registration and membership fees to underwrite the
costs associated with producing and marketing the journals, Common Ground is able to keep subscription prices low, thus
guaranteeing greater access to our content. All conference participants and community members are also granted a oneyear complimentary electronic subscription to the journal associated with their knowledge community. This subscription
provides access to both the current and past volumes of the journal. Moreover, each article that we publish is available for a
$5 download fee to non-subscribers, and authors have the choice of publishing their paper open access to reach the widest
possible audience and ensure the broadest access possible.
Common Ground’s rigorous peer review process also seeks to address some of the biases inherent in traditional academic
publishing models. Our pool of reviewers draws on authors who have recently submitted to the journal, as well as volunteer
reviewers whose CVs and academic experience have been evaluated by Common Ground’s editorial team. Reviewers are
assigned to articles based on their academic interests and expertise. By enlisting volunteers and other prospective authors
as peer reviewers, Common Ground avoids the drawbacks of relying on a single editor’s professional network, which can
often create a small group of gatekeepers who get to decide who and what gets published. Instead, Common Ground
harnesses the enthusiasm of its conference delegates and prospective journal authors to assess submissions using a
criterion-referenced evaluation system that is at once more democratic and more intellectually rigorous than other models.
Common Ground also recognizes the important work of peer reviewers by acknowledging them as Associate Editors of the
volumes to which they contribute.
For over ten years, Common Ground has been building web-based publishing and social knowledge software where people
can work closely to collaborate, create knowledge, and learn. The third and most recent iteration of this project is the
innovative social knowledge environment, Scholar. Through the creation of this software, Common Ground has sought to
tackle what it sees as changing technological, economic, distributional, geographic, interdisciplinary and social relations to
knowledge. For more information about this change and what it means for academic publishing, refer to The Future of the
Academic Journal, edited by Bill Cope and Angus Phillips (Elsevier 2009).
We hope that you will join us in creating dialogues between different perspectives, experiences, knowledge bases, and
methodologies through interactions at the conference, conversations online, and as fully realized, peer-reviewed journal
articles and books.

SUBMISSION PROCESS
Every conference delegate with an accepted proposal is eligible and invited to submit an article to the Humanities Collection.
Full articles can be submitted using Common Ground’s online conference and article management system CGPublisher.
Below please find step-by-step instructions on the submission process.
1.
Submit a presentation proposal to the conference. The theme that you select when you submit your paper will help
determine which thematically focused journal will consider your article for publication.
2.
Once your conference proposal or paper abstract has been accepted, you may submit your article to the
collection by clicking “add a paper” from your proposal/abstract page. You may upload your article anytime
between the first and the final submission deadlines, which can be found on the next page.
3.
Once your article is received, it is verified against template and submission requirements. Your identity and contact
details are then removed, and the article is matched to two appropriate reviewers and sent for review. You can
view the status of your article at any time by logging into your CGPublisher account at www.CGPublisher.com.
4.
When reviewer reports are uploaded, you will be notified by email and provided with a link to view the reports (after
the reviewers’ identities have been removed).
5.
If your article has been accepted, you will be asked to accept the Publishing Agreement and submit a final copy of
your article. If your paper is accepted with revisions, you will be asked to submit a change note with your final
submission, explaining how you revised your article in light of the reviewers’ comments. If your article is rejected,
you may resubmit it once, with a detailed change note, for review by new reviewers.
6.
Accepted articles will be typeset and the proofs will be sent to you for approval before publication.
7.
Individual articles may be published online first with a full citation. Full issues follow at regular, quarterly intervals. All
issues are published 4 times per volume (except the annual review, which is published once per volume).
8.
Registered conference participants will be given online access to the collection from the time of registration until
one year after the conference end date. Individual articles are available for purchase from the journal’s bookstore.
Authors and peer reviewers may order hard copies of full issues at a discounted rate.
SUBMISSION TIMELINE
You may submit your final article for publication to the journal at any time throughout the year. The submission timeline for
Volume 12 is as follows:
•
•
•
•
Submission Round 1 – 28 February, 2014
Submission Round 2 – 30 May, 2014
Submission Round 3 – 30 August, 2014
Submission Round 4 (final) – 30 November, 2014
Note: If your article is submitted after the final deadline for Volume 12, it will be considered for Volume 13. However, the
sooner you submit, the sooner your article will begin the peer review process. Also, as we publish ‘web first’, early
submission means that your article will be published with a full citation as soon as it is ready, even if that is before the full
issue is published.

JOURNAL SUBSCRIPTIONS, OPEN ACCESS, ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Institutional Subscriptions
Common Ground offers print and electronic subscriptions to all of its journals. Subscriptions are available to the full
Humanities Collection, individual journals within the collection, and to custom suites based on a given institution’s unique
content needs. Subscription prices are based on a tiered scale that corresponds to the full-time enrollment (FTE) of the
subscribing institution. You may download the Library Recommendation form from our website to recommend that your
institution subscribe to the Social Science Collection: http://thehumanities.com/publications/journal/about-the-journal#3tab.
Personal Subscriptions
As part of their conference registration, all conference participants (both virtual and in-person) have a one-year online
subscription to the Humanities Collection. This complimentary personal subscription grants access to both the current
volume of the collection as well as the entire backlist. The period of complimentary access begins at the time of registration
and ends one year after the close of the conference. After that time, delegates may purchase a personal subscription. To
view articles, go to http://ijh.cgpublisher.com/. Select the “Login” option and provide a CGPublisher username and
password. Then, select an article and download the PDF. For lost or forgotten login details, select “forgot your login” to
request a new password.
For more information, please visit:
http://thehumanities.com/publications/journal/subscriptions-and-orders or contact us at
[email protected].
Hybrid Open Access
The journals in the Humanities Collection are all Hybrid Open Access. Hybrid Open Access is an option increasingly offered
by both university presses and well-known commercial publishers.
Hybrid Open Access means that some articles are available only to subscribers, while others are made available at no
charge to anyone searching the web. Authors pay an additional fee for the open access option. They may do this because
open access is a requirement of their research funding agency. Or they may do it so that non-subscribers can access their
article for free.
Common Ground’s open access charge is $250 per article, a very reasonable price compared to our hybrid open access
competitors and purely open access journals that are resourced with an author publication fee. Electronic papers are
normally only available through individual or institutional subscriptions or for purchase at $5 per article. However, if you
choose to make your article Open Access, this means that anyone on the web may download it for free.
There are still considerable benefits for paying subscribers, because they can access all articles in the journal, from both
current and past volumes, without any restrictions. But making your paper available at no charge increases its visibility,
accessibility, potential readership, and citation counts. Open access articles also generate higher citation counts.
For more information or to make your article Open Access, please contact us at [email protected].
Institutional Open Access
Common Ground is proud to announce an exciting new model of scholarly publishing called Institutional Open Access.
Institutional Open Access allows faculty and graduate students to submit articles to Common Ground journals for
unrestricted open access publication. These articles will be freely and publicly available to the whole world through our
hybrid open access infrastructure. With Institutional Open Access, instead of the author paying a per-article open access
fee, institutions pay a set annual fee that entitles their students and faculty to publish a given number of open access articles
each year.
The rights to the articles remain with the subscribing institution. Both the author and the institution can also share the final
typeset version of the article in any place they wish, including institutional repositories, personal websites, and privately or
publicly accessible course materials. We support the highest Sherpa/Romeo access level—Green.
For more information on Institutional Open access or to put us in touch with your department head or funding body, please
contact us at [email protected].

Call for Book Reviewers
Common Ground Publishing is seeking distinguished peer reviewers to evaluate book manuscripts submitted to The New
Directions in the Humanities Book Series.
As part of our commitment to intellectual excellence and a rigorous review process, Common Ground sends book

feedback. The comments and guidance that these reviewers supply is invaluable to our authors and an essential part of the
publication process.
Common Ground recognizes the important role of reviewers by acknowledging book reviewers as members of the New
Directions in the Humanities Book Series Editorial Review Board for a period of at least one year. The list of members of the
Editorial Review Board will be posted on our website.

THE NEW DIRECTIONS IN THE HUMANITIES BOOK SERIES
These and other books are available at http://thehumanities.cgpublisher.com/
Cityscapes: World Cities and Their Cultural Industries
Asunción López-Varela (ed.)
With over thirty contributions, Cityscapes places emphasis on
the role of history, collective memory, and artistic
representations of the semio-cultural production of urban
spaces. This volume offers counter-narratives to the
utopian/dystopian polarization, and analyzes urbanism as a way
of life, contemplating cities as lived environments.
Rereading Goethe, Rethinking Culture
Gerald Peters
In this critical reading of Goethe’s Wilhelm Meister novels,
Gerald Peters re-evaluates Goethe’s “theory” of aesthetic selffashioning, or Bildung, as an educational model for a modern
capitalist meritocracy. Peters turns a personal reading of a once
influential text into an interdisciplinary reflection on individuation
and self-culture in America.
Every Page Should Explode: A Genealogy of Romantic and
Post-Romantic Theory of Creativity
Kenneth DiMaggio
From Francois Villon to Jay-Z, this book looks at the topic of
creativity, and through the theories of several writers, poets,
composers, painters initially reflecting Romanticism, and then
moving on to Post-Modernism, Hip-Hop, and other schools.

ACERCA DE NUESTRO ENFOQUE EDITORIAL
Durante 29 años, Common Ground Publishing se ha comprometido con la creación de lugares de encuentro de personas e
ideas. Con 10 comunidades de conocimiento en español y portugués y 24 comunidades en inglés, la visión de Common
Ground es proveer plataformas que reúnan a personas de diversos orígenes geográficos, institucionales y culturales en
espacios donde académicos y otros profesionales puedan conectar por igual a través de distintos campos interdisciplinares
de estudio. Cada comunidad de conocimiento realiza un congreso académico anual alrededor del mundo y está asociada a
una Revista revisada por pares (o a una colección de Revistas), una colección de Libros y un serie de redes sociales, en
torno a un nuevo “espacio social de conocimiento” realmente disruptivo diseñado y desarrollado por Common Ground:
Scholar (http://cgscholar.com/).
A través de sus servicios editoriales, Common Ground tiene como objetivo fomentar los más altos estándares de excelencia
intelectual. Somos muy críticos con las graves deficiencias que existen en el actual sistema de publicaciones académica,
incluyendo las estructuras existentes y las redes exclusivas que restringen la visibilidad de los académicos e investigadores
emergentes en los países en desarrollo, así como los costes e ineficiencias insostenibles asociados con la edición comercial
tradicional.
Para combatir estas deficiencias, Common Ground ha desarrollado un modelo de publicación innovador. Cada una de las
comunidades de conocimiento de Common Ground organiza un congreso académico anual. La cuota de inscripción que
pagan los participantes del congreso por asistir y presentar en estos congresos, les permite enviar un artículo a la revista (o
colección de revistas) asociada sin coste adicional. Así, los autores pueden realizar una presentación en un congreso
científico de su área de investigación, incorporar las críticas constructivas que reciben en respuesta a su presentación y, a
continuación, enviar un artículo sólido para su revisión por pares, sin que el autor tenga que pagar una tasa adicional. Los
académicos que no puedan asistir al congreso en persona, pueden participar de forma virtual, opción que les permite
enviar un artículo a la revista. Usando una parte de la cuota de inscripción para financiar los costes asociados a la
producción y comercialización de las revistas, Common Ground es capaz de mantener unos precios de suscripción bajos,
facilitando así el acceso a todos nuestros contenidos. Todos los participantes del congreso, tanto presenciales como
virtuales, pueden subir sus presentaciones al canal de YouTube de Common Ground, además de tener una suscripción
electrónica gratuita a la revista por un periodo de un año. Esta suscripción permite el acceso a todos los números,
presentes y pasados, de la revista en español/portugués y a la revista (o colección de revistas) en inglés. Además, cada
artículo que publicamos está disponible de forma individual con una tarifa de descarga de $3 para los no abonados, y los
autores disponen de la opción de publicar su artículo en acceso abierto para llegar así a una mayor audiencia y garantizar la
difusión más amplia posible.
El riguroso proceso de revisión de Common Ground trata también de abordar algunos de los sesgos inherentes a los
tradicionales modelos de editoriales académicas. El conjunto de evaluadores está compuesto de autores que han
presentado recientemente artículos a la revista, así como de revisores voluntarios cuyos currículos y experiencia académica
han sido evaluados por el equipo editorial de Common Ground. Los artículos son asignados a revisores en base en sus
intereses académicos y experiencia. Al tener voluntarios y a otros autores como posibles revisores, Common Ground evita
los inconvenientes de depender de la red profesional de un solo editor, que con más frecuencia de la deseable conlleva la
creación de grupos de arbitraje cerrado que deciden qué y quién publica. En cambio, Common Ground aprovecha el
excelente talante de los participantes del congreso y de los autores de las revistas para evaluar los trabajos, utilizando un
sistema de evaluación basado en criterios más democráticos e intelectualmente más rigurosos que otros modelos
tradicionales. Common Ground también reconoce la importante labor de los revisores, nombrándoles Editores Asociados
de los volúmenes en los que contribuyen.
A través de la creación de un software asombrosamente innovador, Common Ground también ha comenzado a hacer
frente a lo que considera como un cambio en las relaciones tecnológicas, económicas, geográficas, interdisciplinarias,
sociales y de distribución y difusión del conocimiento. Desde hace más de diez años hemos estado construyendo una
editorial muy mediada por las tecnologías web y las nueves redes sociales, donde la gente pueda trabajar en estrecha
colaboración para aprender, crear y compartir conocimiento. La tercera y última iteración de este proyecto es un entorno
social de conocimiento pionero llamado Scholar (http://cgscholar.com/). Esta plataforma informática posee un lugar donde
los académicos pueden conectarse en red y dar visibilidad a sus investigaciones a través de una librería personal.
Esperamos que se unan a nosotros en la creación de diálogos entre diferentes perspectivas, experiencias, áreas de
conocimiento y metodologías a través de las interacciones en el seno del congreso, las conversaciones online, los artículos
para la revista o la colección de libros (ambas revisadas por pares).

Revista Internacional de Humanidades
La Revista Internacional de Humanidades ofrece un espacio para el diálogo y la publicación de nuevos conocimientos
desarrollados sobre tradiciones pasadas en el seno de las humanidades, al tiempo que establecen un programa renovado
para el futuro. Las humanidades son un ámbito de aprendizaje, reflexión y acción, y un lugar de diálogo entre variadas
epistemologías, perspectivas y áreas de conocimiento. Es en estos turbulentos cruces del saber humano donde las
humanidades podrían ser capaces de aliviar los modernos sistemas de conocimiento de su estrechez de miras.
Los artículos en la Revista Internacional de Humanidades abarcan un terreno amplio, desde lo general y especulativo hasta
lo particular y empírico. No obstante, su preocupación principal es redefinir nuestro entendimiento de lo humano y mostrar
diversas prácticas disciplinarias dentro de las humanidades. Esta revista pretende reabrir el debate acerca de las diversas
facetas de los seres humanos tanto por razones prácticas como teóricas.
La Revista es relevante para los académicos e investigadores provenientes de un amplio espectro de disciplinas dentro de
las humanidades, para los profesores universitarios y los educadores, así como para cualquier persona con interés e
inquietud por las humanidades.
La Revista Internacional de Humanidades es revisada por expertos y respaldada por un proceso de publicación basado en
el rigor y en criterios de calidad académica, asegurando así que solo los trabajos intelectuales significativos sean
publicados.

Acceso Abierto
Las revistas de Common Ground ofrecen un modelo de acceso abierto híbrido a los autores de los artículos. Se trata de un
nuevo modelo, en pleno auge en el seno del sector de las publicaciones académicas. Este servicio es ofrecido cada vez
más por las editoriales universitarias y por editoriales comerciales de prestigio.
Acceso Abierto Híbrido significa que algunos artículos están disponibles sólo para suscriptores, mientras que otros están
disponibles gratuitamente para cualquier persona que busca en la web. Los autores que estén interesados en tener su
artículo en acceso abierto, es decir accesible de forma gratuita en la web, deben abonar una cantidad adicional si desean
hacer efectiva esta interesante opción. Cada vez más agencias de financiación, tanto gubernamentales como fundaciones
públicas y privadas, están exigiendo que los artículos de sus investigadores sean publicados en acceso abierto. A cambio,
dichas agencias ofrecen financiación adicional a dichos autores para poder abonar la cantidad estipulada por la editorial.
Infórmese en su agencia de financiación, en su centro de investigación o en su universidad para solicitar una ayuda por este
concepto.
Los beneficios de convertir su artículo en acceso abierto son considerables y empíricamente comprobados. Innumerables
trabajos de investigación han probado que un artículo en acceso abierto aumenta no sólo su visibilidad y su accesibilidad y
por tanto, también el número de lectores potenciales, sino que además puede aumentar el número de citas recibidas en
más de un 250%.
Para más información, por favor visite la página: http://lashumanidades.com/publicaciones/revista/acceso-abierto.
Servicios Editoriales
Nos complace en ofrecer servicios editoriales para aquellos autores que quieran tener una revisión/edición profesional de su
trabajo. Los autores pueden solicitar estos servicios editoriales antes de remitir su artículo o después del proceso de
revisión por pares. En algunos casos los evaluadores pueden recomendar que un artículo sea corregido/editado como
condición para su publicación. Los servicios descritos a continuación pueden servir de ayuda a los autores en la fase de
revisión, antes de presentar la versión final de su artículo. Se ruega contacten para obtener más información

THE HUMANITIES CONFERENCE
Conference Principles and Features
The structure of the conference is based on four core principles that pervade all aspects of the knowledge community:
International
This conference travels around the world to provide opportunities for delegates to see and experience different countries
and locations. But more importantly, The Humanities Conference offers a tangible and meaningful opportunity to engage
with scholars from a diversity of cultures and perspectives. This year, delegates from over 53 countries are in attendance,
offering a unique and unparalleled opportunity to engage directly with colleagues from all corners of the globe.
Interdisciplinary
Unlike association conferences attended by delegates with similar backgrounds and specialties, this conference brings
together researchers, practitioners, and scholars from a wide range of disciplines who have a shared interest in the themes
and concerns of this community. As a result, topics are broached from a variety of perspectives, interdisciplinary methods
are applauded, and mutual respect and collaboration are encouraged.
Inclusive
Anyone whose scholarly work is sound and relevant is welcome to participate in this community and conference, regardless
of discipline, culture, institution, or career path. Whether an emeritus professor, graduate student, researcher, teacher,
policymaker, practitioner, or administrator, your work and your voice can contribute to the collective body of knowledge that
is created and shared by this community.
Interactive
To take full advantage of the rich diversity of cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives represented at the conference, there
must be ample opportunities to speak, listen, engage, and interact. A variety of session formats, from more to less
structured, are offered throughout the conference to provide these opportunities.
Session Descriptions
Plenary Sessions
Plenary speakers, chosen from among the world’s leading thinkers, offer formal presentations on topics of broad interest to
the community and conference delegation. One or more speakers are scheduled into a plenary session, most often the first
session of the day. As a general rule, there are no questions or discussion during these sessions. Instead, plenary speakers
answer questions and participate in informal, extended discussions during their Garden Sessions.
Garden Conversations
Garden Conversations are informal, unstructured sessions that allow delegates a chance to meet plenary speakers and talk
with them at length about the issues arising from their presentation. When the venue and weather allow, we try to arrange
for a circle of chairs to be placed outdoors.
Talking Circles
Held on the first day of the conference, Talking Circles offer an early opportunity to meet other delegates with similar
interests and concerns. Delegates self-select into groups based on broad thematic areas and then engage in extended
discussion about the issues and concerns they feel are of utmost importance to that segment of the community. Questions
like “Who are we?”, ”What is our common ground?”, “What are the current challenges facing society in this area?”, “What
challenges do we face in constructing knowledge and effecting meaningful change in this area?” may guide the
conversation. When possible, a second Talking Circle is held on the final day of the conference, for the original group to
reconvene and discuss changes in their perspectives and understandings as a result of the conference experience. Reports
from the Talking Circles provide a framework for the delegates’ final discussions during the Closing Session.
Paper Presentations
Paper presentations are grouped by general themes or topics into sessions comprised of three or four presentations
followed by group discussion. Each presenter in the session makes a formal twenty-minute presentation of their work; Q&A
and group discussion follow after all have presented. Session Chairs introduce the speakers, keep time on the
presentations, and facilitate the discussion. Each presenter's formal, written paper will be available to participants if
accepted to the journal.
Colloquium
Colloquium sessions are organized by a group of colleagues who wish to present various dimensions of a project or
perspectives on an issue. Four or five short formal presentations are followed by commentary and/or group discussion. A
single article or multiple articles may be submitted to the journal based on the content of a colloquium session.
Workshop/Interactive Session
Workshop sessions involve extensive interaction between presenters and participants around an idea or hands-on
experience of a practice. These sessions may also take the form of a crafted panel, staged conversation, dialogue or debate
– all involving substantial interaction with the audience. A single article (jointly authored, if appropriate) may be submitted to
the journal based on a workshop session.
Focused Discussion Session
For work that is best discussed or debated, rather than reported on through a formal presentation, these sessions provide a
forum for an extended “roundtable” conversation between an author and a small group of interested colleagues. Several
such discussions occur simultaneously in a specified area, with each author’s table designated by a number corresponding
to the title and topic listed in the program schedule. Summaries of the author’s key ideas, or points of discussion, are used
to stimulate and guide the discourse. A single article, based on the scholarly work and informed by the focused discussion
as appropriate, may be submitted to the journal.
Poster Sessions
Poster sessions present preliminary results of works in progress or projects that lend themselves to visual displays and
representations. These sessions allow for engagement in informal discussions about the work with interested delegates
throughout the session.
Virtual Presentations
If unable to attend the conference in person, an author may choose to submit a virtual presentation. Opportunities and
formats vary but may be a presentation through our YouTube channel or an online discussion with interested delegates at
the conference. Abstracts of these presentations are included in the online “session descriptions,” and an article may be
submitted to the journal for peer review and possible publication, according to the same standards and criteria as all other
journal submissions.

Special Events
Conference Dinner and Tour at Reina Sofia Museum – Thursday, 12 June – 19:00-23:00 (Tickets available at
Registration Desk)
The (Reina) Sofia is Spain's national museum of 20th century art, named after Queen Sofia. Highlights of the collection
include works by Spanish greats, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, Juan Gris, Jorge Oteiza, and Antoni Tàpies. The
central building of the museum was once an 18th-century hospital, but has undergone many renovations and additions, the
most recent expansion completed in 2005 by French architect Jean Nouvel. Our evening will begin with a guided tour of the
permanent collection. Along the tour, we will make a special stop at Pablo Picasso's Guernica, painted for the 1937 World's
Fair in Paris and in response to the bombing of Guernica (a village in northern Spain) during the Spanish Civil War. Guernica
has gained monumental status, becoming a perpetual reminder of the tragedies of war, an anti-war symbol, and an
embodiment of peace.
Madrid Panoramic Tour by Bus – Friday, 13 June – 17:00-19:00 (Tickets available at Registration Desk)
Discover the most spectacular buildings and monuments in Madrid! Join us for a panoramic guided tour of this grand city
on our comfortable air-conditioned bus lead by a local tour guide. The tour will begin at the iconic corner of Plaza España,

Here, we will discuss the famous Cibeles and Neptune. Then, we will continue through Atocha and head on to Barrio
Salamanca, a charming district with impressive houses and the largest park in Madrid–El Retiro, and then on to the
neoclassical monument Puerta de Alcalá in Independence Square. The tour will pass through the Plaza de Toros de las
Ventas, where the legendary bullfights of Madrid are held in May, and then on to Madrid's financial district. Here, we will
view four new towers that stand out in the Paseo de la Castellana, and we will visit the famous "Real Madrid" Stadium–
Santiago Bernabéu. Finally, our journey will continue along the Paseo de la Castellana and finish near Sol in Madrid's
downtown area.

students’ works by publishing them to the Community space.
A Digital Learning Platform
Use Scholar to Support Your Teaching
85
86
Scholar is a social knowledge platform that transforms the patterns of interaction in learning by putting students first,
positioning them as knowledge producers instead of passive knowledge consumers. Scholar provides scaffolding to
encourage making and sharing knowledge drawing from multiple sources rather than memorizing knowledge that has been
presented to them.
S c h o l a r also answers one of the most fundamental questions students and instructors have of their performance, "How
am I doing?" Typical modes of assessment often answer this question either too late to matter or in a way that is not clear
or comprehensive enough to meaningfully contribute to better performance.
A collaborative research and development project between Common Ground and the College of Education at the University
of Illinois, S c h o l a r contains a knowledge community space, a multimedia web writing space, a formative assessment
environment that facilitates peer review, and a dashboard with aggregated machine and human formative and summative
writing assessment data.
The following S c h o l a r features are only available to Common Ground Knowledge Community members as part of their
membership. Please email us at [email protected] if you would like the complimentary educator account that comes
with participation in a Common Ground conference.
•
•
•
•
Create projects for groups of students, involving draft, peer review, revision and publication.
Publish student works to each student’s personal portfolio space, accessible through the web for class discussion.
Create and distribute surveys.
Evaluate student work using a variety of measures in the assessment dashboard.
S c h o l a r is a generation beyond learning management systems. It is what we term a Digital Learning Platform—it
transforms learning by engaging students in powerfully horizontal ‘social knowledge’ relationships.
