I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MAGIC AND
THOUGHT
WILL TAKE PLACES ON APRIL 24th-26th (WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY) 2024N IN THE UNIVERSITY OF GRANADA
Organized by: HERMEKATE Research Group HUM404,
Department of Greek and Slavic Philology, University of
Granada
Description
The “Magic and Thought” Congress will be held at the University of Granada in two different scientific meetings, justified by the richness and breadth of the programme, as well as by the desire to delve into specific topics with a more detailed and dedicated approach. The first meeting will take place on April 24, 25 and 26 , and the second will be held 8 months later, between November 26 and 28.
The first call will be inaugurated in the Assembly Hall of the Faculty of Communication and Documentation, on Wednesday 24 April at 11h. Some presentations and the closing ceremony will also take place at the Faculty of Translation and Interpretation. The second edition, held 8 months later, follows the same structure. The two-phase format of the congress allows for more reflection on the topics discussed. Thus, the congress becomes not only a forum for exposition and debate, but also a focal point for preliminary conclusions and the formulation of the future study of magic.
The Congress will close on the evening of April 26th with a celebratory dinner for an additional fee at a restaurant in the nearby picturesque area of Granada.
The official languages of the Congress are Spanish and English.
