CfP—Annual Conference on Philosophy—Panels on Asian Philosophy
Every year the same! I plan to organise panels on Indian Philosophy at regular conferences, in order to “fertilise” them, and fail… Volunteers for next year? If, instead, you have already something ready, keep on reading.

Conference for Early Career Philosophers: CfP
Are you a young scholar working on philosophy? Perhaps you might enjoy a conference designed for cooperative enhancing your paper (instead of demolishing it).
9th Annual International Conference on Philosophy, 26-29 May 2014, Athens, Greece
I keep on thinking that one should prepare a panel on Indian philosophy for one of these conferences, but it is always too late when I finally remember it. Perhaps next year? Or do you have something ready?
EAAA CONFERENCE—A Panel on the Reuse in visual and performative arts
After years of separate work on the topic of reuse (applied to texts, concepts and images, see the volume Re-Use 2012, edited by J. Hegewald; the panel on reuse at the 2013 DOT, and the one at the 2012 CBC), we (Cristina Bignami, Elisa Freschi and Julia Hegewald) now joined forces to organize a panel for the next EAAA conference in September 2014 (http://www.ea-aaa.eu/). The provisional title is Reuse at the Borders of South Asia: Himalayas and South India.
If you have been working on the topic of reuse or are willing to work through this approach on South Indian or, preferably, Himālayan materials, contact us. However, please note that we need to send the panel proposal by November the 15th, thus we would need to get in touch with us as soon as possible and to receive your title and abstract (around 250 words) by November the 1st.

IIGRS 5
It is always a pity to miss an IIGRS (International Indological Graduate Research Seminar), although I am now too old to take actively part to it. You can read the program, and decide to fly to Bochum and enjoy some great indological chats, here. If you do, please carry my best wishes to all with you!
Call for Papers SASA
Why a SASA (South Asian Studies Association) conference? Because the conferences about Asian studies are way too broad and South Asian specialists either don’t participate or come back dissatisfied. In case you are wondering: Classicists are also invited.
