Dear Delegate,
Welcome to the Thirteenth 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.
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 thirteen 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; CEU San Pablo University, Madrid in
2014; and next year we are pleased to hold the conference at the University of Illinois-Chicago in Chicago, USA.
In addition to organizing the Humanities Conference, Common Ground publishes papers from the conference at www.HumanitiesJournal.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 everyone who has prepared for this conference. A personal thank you goes to our Common Ground colleagues who have
put such a significant amount of work into this conference: Rachael Arcario, Karim Gherab Martin, Ashley McBride, Ana Quintana, and
Jessica Wienhold-Brokish.
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. We hope you will join us at next year’s Humanities Conference, 17-19 June 2016 in Chicago, USA.
Yours sincerely,
Kimberly D. Kendall, PhD

| 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.

| About Common Ground
Common Ground España
Since its inception, Common Ground Publishing has been committed to building bridges between different languages and
cultures, crossing the geographical and linguistic boundaries that slow down the free flow of ideas between the countless
communities that populate the planet. We are truly committed to diversity, and that is why we are striving to create synergies
between the English, Spanish, and Portuguese-speaking knowledge communities that meet every year at the conference, and
that interact through the scholarly journals, the book series, and the social networks.
To fulfil this ideal, Common Ground Publishing has launched Common Ground Publishing España in order to create and
develop Latin American knowledge communities based on the Spanish and Portuguese languages and cultures, crossing
geographic, linguistic, and cultural borders. Each of these knowledge communities holds an annual academic conference
(which takes place in parallel to Common Ground’s conferences in English) and manages a peer reviewed scholarly journal,
a book series, and a number of social networks that allow scholars and practitioners to interact with other peers coming from
different geographical, institutional, and cultural origins, as well as to strengthen interdisciplinary discussions.
For the time being, Common Ground Publishing España, whose headquarters are located at the Research Park of the
Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, has developed ten Latin American knowledge communities; Learning; E-Learning and
Innovative Pedagogies; Science in Society; Interdisciplinary Social Sciences; On the Organization; New Directions in the
Humanities; The Image; Book and Libraries; Health, Wellness, and Society; and Technology, Knowledge, and Society.

Knowledge Community
Exploring settled traditions in the
humanities while at the same time
setting a renewed agenda for their
future…
New Directions in the Humanities Knowledge Community
The New Directions in the Humanities Knowledge Community is brought together by a shared commitment to the
humanities and a concern for their future. The community interacts through an innovative, annual face-to-face conference,
as well as year-round online relationships, a collection of peer reviewed journals, and book series–exploring the affordances
of new digital media. Conference
The conference is built upon four key features: Internationalism, Interdisciplinarity, Inclusiveness, and Interaction.
Conference delegates include leaders in the field as well as emerging scholars, who travel to the conference from all corners
of the globe and represent a broad range of disciplines and perspectives. A variety of presentation options and session types
offer delegates multiple opportunities to engage, to discuss key issues in the field, and to build relationships with scholars
from other cultures and disciplines.
Publishing
The New Directions in the Humanities Knowledge Community enables members to publish through two media. First,
community members can enter a world of journal publication unlike the traditional academic publishing forums—a result
of the responsive, non-hierarchical, and constructive nature of the peer review process. The Humanities Collection provides
a framework for double-blind peer review, enabling authors to publish into an academic journal of the highest standard.
The second publication medium is through the book series, The Humanities, publishing cutting edge books in print and
electronic formats. Publication proposal and manuscript submissions are welcome.
Community
The New Directions in the Humanities Knowledge Community offers several opportunities for ongoing communication
among its members. Any member may upload video presentations based on scholarly work to the community YouTube
channel. Monthly email newsletters contain updates on conference and publishing activities as well as broader news of
interest. Members may also join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter or explore our new social media platform,
Scholar.

New Directions in the Humanities 2015 Special Focus
From Digital Humanities to a Humanities of the Digital
“From Digital Humanities to a Humanities of the Digital” is the special focus topic of the Thirteenth International Conference
on New Directions in the Humanities in Vancouver, Canada. The conference will analyze this special focus through an
interdisciplinary lens, addressing the theme through keynote speakers, garden sessions, workshops, and parallel sessions:
• The ‘digital’ as a social imaginary: exploring historical continuities and ruptures in social and cultural practices in the era
of digital cultures.
• The digital within the humanities: new methods and tools for documentation, research, and representation.
• The political economy of digital humanities: e-learning, e-publishing, and the reframing of disciplines and institutions.
• Big data and little data; negotiating the public and the private.
• Open access and open cultures: developing sustainable knowledge ecologies.
• Adapting methodologies and focus in the digital age: has the dust settled on the ‘digital humanities’?
• From the digital humanities to a humanities of the digital; rebuilding the humanities in the shadow of the digital, and
developing a humanities of the digital.

New Directions in the Humanities Scopes 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.’
15
New Directions in the Humanities Scopes and Concerns
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.

A Digital Learning Platform
Use Scholar to Support Your Teaching
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.
Scholar 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, Scholar 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 Scholar 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.
Scholar 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. For more

Associate Editors
Articles published in The Humanities Collection are peer reviewed by scholars who are active members
of the New Direction in the Humanities Knowledge Community. Reviewers may be past or present
conference delegates, fellow submitters to the collection, or scholars who have volunteered to review
papers (and have been screened by Common Ground’s editorial team). This engagement with the
knowledge community, as well as Common Ground’s synergistic and criterion-based evaluation
system, distinguishes the peer review process from journals that have a more top-down approach to
refereeing. Reviewers are assigned to papers based on their academic interests and scholarly expertise.
In recognition of the valuable feedback and publication recommendations that they provide, reviewers
are acknowledged as Associate Editors in the volume that includes the paper(s) they reviewed. Thus, in
addition to the New Direction in the Humanities Collection’s Editors and Advisory Board, the Associate
Editors contribute significantly to the overall editorial quality and content of the collection.

Manual of Style (16th edition), and will check any edits you have made while considering the feedback of your referees.
After this review has been satisfactorily completed, your paper will be typeset and a proof will be sent to you for approval
before publication.
7. Individual articles may be published “Web 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).
Submission Timeline
You may submit your article for publication to the journal at any time throughout the year. The rolling submission deadlines
are as follows:
• Submission Round 1 – 15 January
• Submission Round 2 – 15 April
• Submission Round 3 – 15 July
• Submission Round 4 (final) – 15 October
Note: If your article is submitted after the final deadline for the volume, it will be considered for the following year’s volume.
The sooner you submit, the sooner your article will begin the peer review process. Also, because we publish “Web First,” early
submission means that your article may be published with a full citation as soon as it is ready, even if that is before the full
issue is published.

New Directions in the Humanities Common Ground Open
Hybrid Open Access
All Common Ground Journals are Hybrid Open Access. Hybrid Open Access is an option increasingly offered by both
university presses and well-known commercial publishers.
Hybrid Open Access means 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. Authors may do this because open access
is a requirement of their research-funding agency, or they may do this so 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 resourced with an author publication fee. Digital articles 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 anyone on the web may download it for free.
Paying subscribers still receive considerable benefits with access to all articles in the journal, from both current and past
volumes, without any restrictions. However, making your paper available at no charge through Open Access increases its
visibility, accessibility, potential readership, and citation counts. Open Access articles also generate higher citation counts.
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 how to make your article Open Access, or information on Institutional Open Access, please contact

Qingben Li, Beijing Language and Culture University, China
For the Article
“Cross-Cultural Studies and Aesthetics Discursive Transformations in China”
Abstract
This paper discusses the theoretical system of Chinese aesthetics. Within ‘cultural conservatism’ in academic circles, some
scholars believe that the contemporary radical and unconventional attitudes of Chinese culture are so radical to their tradition
that there is cultural fracture within Chinese culture. They claim that cultural models were introduced by foreign cultures, and
inevitably influenced events and cultural catastrophes such as the Cultural Revolution, linked to the radical cultural tendency
which evolved from May Fourth Movement. These tenets fuel the argumentation of other scholars who maintain that Chinese
aesthetics should be based on its own cultural tradition without copying the western discursive system. This paper argues for
a comparative research method as intercultural tool. This argument is built on explanations of the differences between core
layers and superficial layers of culture, and on the importance of value judgments within the poetic aesthetic systems of both
east and west. Such argument enables and supports cross-cultural dialogical perspectives between east and west.

New Directions in the Humanities Books
The Break-up of Britain
Tom Nairn
This twenty-fifth anniversary edition of Tom Nairn’s The Break-up of Britain reviews the arguments
of his classic study and expands his thesis into the new millennium. He confirms his contention that
civic nationalism—but not ethno-nationalism—would play an increasing role in the breakdown of the
United Kingdom. This, he says, has now assumed an even more rapid pace than when the book was
first published. The cumulative strains of Thatcherism and Blairism have had their effect. Reprinted
now, after the almost-successful referendum to make Scotland a country of its own, this edition has
additional resonances.
‘The Break-up of Britain’, Nairn writes in his Introduction to this edition ‘began its life in a still
imposing, if narrowing river; by the time the 1981 paperback edition had appeared, the river had begun
to feel the approaching rapids—which have accelerated for over twenty years, and attained a crazy pace

even in the few weeks between beginning and finishing this new edition. The thunder of a waterfall
no one conceived of in 1977 is in everyone’s ears, as Tony Blair sends off his ships and troops to assist
America’s assault on the Middle East… In the altered world lying beyond these falls, it is surely unlikely
the United Kingdom will survive in anything like its historical form’.
When this anniversary edition was published, Tom Nairn was living in Australia and teaching at RMIT
University, Melbourne in the Globalism Research Institute. He now lives in Scotland.
“Densely and brilliantly argued…original and perceptive.”

“A burning-glass of a mind…disconcerting in its withering contempt not only for the British state but
for everything associated with it.”

Culture and Visual Forms of Power:
Experiencing Contemporary Spaces of Resistance
Lidia K.C. Manzo (ed.)
This book is a collection of essays that brings together researchers working on power relations with
visual methods. The text is epistemologically radical in attracting authors who look at culture as a
field of struggle, constructed by different points of view. Today, culture can be seen as a specific field
in which “power” is exercised. In particular, questions about the nature of power are addressed.
The editors suggest two points in the discussion: how is reality constructed, and how is it connected
with power? What is the real space for subject freedom? Foucault’s idea of “power” is that it is not a
thing, but a relation. Power is not merely repressive (like the use of violent control mechanisms in the
pre-modern era), but it is productive as well as an everyday disciplinary practice. Starting from this
perspective, we ask whether visual methodology can be used to describe and analyze different forms of

power.
These diverse contributions demonstrate how in a time of extensive social change, culture is always
a space for resistance. By examining cases in which visual sociology is used as action research,
the authors show the affect of visual emergence in grass-roots social activism in the southeast
Australian mainland. For instance photography is used to analyze the perceptions natives from a
rural community have of their own territory, as in the case of the Huarpe in Argentina. Incorporating
comparative analysis from different parts of the Global South, such as the performance of two groups
of photographers in Brazil and Bangladesh, they discover images are in tension between “the dominant
and the residual” in the critique of design in Latin America. Subjectivities and video-based methodology
are also used to explore the intercourse between Roma and Italian culture and expressions of resistance
in the form of dance.
With the contribution of Emiliana Armano, Tamara Bellone, Enzo Colombo, Carlos Cowan Ros, Karen
Crinall, Verónica Devalle, Fabiene Gama, Beatriz Nussbaumer, and Timothy Shortell
Editor Bio:
Lidia K.C. Manzo has a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Trento and holds a MA in political
and social communication from the University of Milan where she performed urban research and a
documentary on Milan’s Chinatown. Her ethnographic and visual work examines how the everyday
co-productions of space and identity support or inhibit social, spatial, and economic justice. Currently,
Manzo is Italian partner member in the international research project HOUWEL and contract
professor at the School of Architecture and Society of the Politecnico di Milano University.

The Origins of Architecture:
An English Sixteenth to Eighteenth Century Perspective
Tessa Morrison
The origin of architecture was a heavily debated subject in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
Spanish Jesuit priest and architect Juan Bautista Villalpando kindled this debate with the publication
of In Ezechielem Explanationes et Apparatus Urbis Templi Hierosolymitani in 1604. He claimed
that the origin of architecture was to be found in the divine plan of Solomon’s Temple. Villalpando
reconstructed the Temple of Solomon as a building that encapsulated the entire formal grammar
of classical architecture. He believed that his reconstruction of the Temple represented the most
perfect building ever built and that it could never be surpassed, since its plan was God-given. Within
a couple years of its publication, commentaries began to appear that agreed or contested his theories.
Villalpando’s influence spread throughout Europe.

The aim of this book is to examine this important and influential debate and put into context the debate
on the origin of architecture found in the English Age of Reason. Unlike their continental counterparts,
Isaac Newton, Indio Jones, William Stukeley and John Wood of Bath connected the Temple of
Jerusalem and the origin of architecture to an example of English architecture, Stonehenge. These
debates and controversies became embroiled not only in questions about the history of architecture,
but also in the architecture of the Enlightenment and questions about English literature and identity.
Author Bio:
Dr. Tessa Morrison is a senior lecturer at the University of Newcastle, Australia. Her research is
multi-disciplinary and incorporates philosophy, mathematics, and the history of architecture. Over the
last few years she has specialised in seventeenth and eighteenth century studies in architectural history
and the history of ideas, including a translation and commentary of Isaac Newton’s reconstruction
manuscript on Solomon’s Temple published in Isaac Newton’s Temple of Solomon and his
Reconstruction of Sacred Architecture. Her current research is on utopian cities from sixteenth to the
nineteenth century that have never been built but have had significant influence through the centuries.

Discussing and examining key
issues in the humanities, and

disciplines and perspectives…
New Directions in the Humanities About the Conference
Conference History
First held at the University of the Aegean on the island of Rhodes in Greece in 2003, the International Conference on New
Directions in the Humanities has moved its location each year to different countries and continents, each offering its own
perspectives on the human condition and the current state of studies of the human. This knowledge community is brought
together by a shared commitment to the humanities and a concern for their future.
The International Conference on New Directions in the Humanities is built upon four key features: Internationalism,
Interdisciplinarity, Inclusiveness, and Interaction. Conference delegates include leaders in the field as well as emerging
scholars, who travel to the conference from all corners of the globe and represent a broad range of disciplines and
perspectives. A variety of presentation options and session types offer delegates multiple opportunities to engage, to discuss
key issues in the field, and to build relationships with scholars from other cultures and disciplines.

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 35 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.
43
New Directions in the Humanities Ways of Speaking
Plenary
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 Conversation
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.
Themed 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 twentyminute 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.
44
New Directions in the Humanities Ways of Speaking
Focused Discussion
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.
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.
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.

REVISTA INTERNACIONAL DE HUMANIDADES
Acerca de nuestro enfoque editorial
Durante 30 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
