Summer School: The Genome Society. ELSA
Genomics State of the Art and Beyond
University of Amsterdam June 5 - 9, 2006
http://www.ishss.uva.nl/ELSA
The Genomics and Society Summer Programme seeks to explore the status of
research into the ethical, legal and social aspects (ELSA) of genetics,
the merits of ELSA genomics research and its proclaimed societal
engagement, both in decision making and in public interaction. The
Summer Programme is open to individuals with a focused interest in
society and genomics (PhD/post doc) and policy makers who want to deepen
their theoretical understanding of ELSA genomics. Members of the Arts
and Genomics Centre will host a session on the theme "Communication and
Education: the use of imagination".

Conference: Beyond Mimesis and Nominalism: Representation in Art and
Science
London, 22-23 June 2006
http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/artAndScience
Representations play a critical role in both science and art. Perceived
as different in kind, artistic and scientific representations have been
studied as objects of distinct disciplinary and intellectual traditions.
However, recent work in both the philosophy of science and studies of
the visual arts suggests that these apparently different
representational traditions may be related in challenging and
provocative ways. This conference seeks to open conversations between
and beyond these compartmentalized traditions of thinking about
representation.
Call for Papers: Historicide and Reiteration. Innovation in the
sciences, humanities and the arts
Maastricht, February 9-10 2007
Deadline 15th May 2006
http://www.artsgenomics.org
This symposium wants to investigate the convergences and divergences
between the sciences and the arts by taking our cue from the ways in
which they position themselves vis-a-vis their past. It aims at a
thorough evaluation of the contrast between historicide and reiteration
as a potentially fruitful perspective on the interrelations between the
three cultures.

Amsterdam, 13-16 June 2006
http://www.slsa.nl
The conference programme can now be found online. An Arts and Genomics
Stream features as part of the programme, including two sessions hosted

International Conference: Art and Metaphysics in the Twentieth Century
and Beyond
Bremen, 18-21 May 2006
http://www.iu-bremen.de/news/events/05458
This conference approaches the relation of art and metaphysics from two
directions. The first centres upon philosophical problems of meaning and
ontology in the visual arts, and also the way in which they might
disclose broader metaphysical truths about humanity´s relation to the
cosmos. The other approach centres on the use of metaphysical and
cognate ideas such as the scientific and religious in specific
twentieth-century and contemporary art-historical contexts.
