Meeting Description:
We continue the PHSS conference tradition, and this year we invite to send
your contribution on the conflict topic, seen from different perspectives in
various historical, political, and social contexts.
When two entities opine in different ways, a conflict arises. Conflict emerges
whenever individuals have different values, opinions, needs, interests and are
unable to find a middle way. Defined as a clash between entities arising out
of a difference in thought process, attitudes, understanding, interests,
requirements and even sometimes perceptions, conflict has as results heated
arguments, physical abuses and definitely loss of peace and harmony. For any
complex system, internal and external conflict make the system dynamic,
requiring constant adjustment to changing conditions, continuously stimulating
further and better resolutions.
Topics for debate:
- Forms of resolving conflict through collaboration among science, art and
technology
- Interdisciplinarity, as approach of conflict taming in social-sciences and
humanities
- Solving clashes in the entrepreneurial environment
- Conflict in society and its solutions of overcoming
- Digital humanities – “a site of struggle” – for the future of the academy?
- (Cultural) history as a succession of conflicts
- The conflict between individual aspirations and social conditioning.

PERSPECTIVES IN HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES (PHSS)
8th edition
Conflict in European Time and Space
27-28 October 2022
“Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași, Romania
Institute of Interdisciplinary Research
Department of Social Sciences and Humanities
Defined as a clash between entities arising out of a difference in thought
processes, attitudes, understanding, interests, requirements and even
perceptions, conflict has as results heated arguments, physical abuses and
definitely loss of peace and harmony. Etimologically, the Latin verb fligo,
fligere, flixi, fictum (“strike”, “clash”, “collide”) and the noun flictus,
-us (“strike”, “clash”, “collision”) generated a series of compounds whose
semantic values reflect/nuance the basic meanings mentioned above, up to
valences related to the moral or psychic area (affligo = “beat”, ”divert”).
Widely used, especially in military language, were compounds with the
preverb/preposition con-, co-/cum (the concrete meaning of the
preverb/preposition expresses the idea of reunion): confligo, confligere,
conflixi, conflictum (“strike”, “clash”, “fight”, “oppose”, “confront”, etc.),
conflictus (“conflict”, “dispute”, “confrontation”), confligium
(“collision”, “clash”), conflictatio (“conflict”, “dispute”; in medical term:
“convulsion”), conflictatrix (“persecutor”). In the case of these last
derivates, the idea of confrontation is dominant and it was transmitted
through linguistic derivation both in Romance languages, but also in Germanic
languages. Expressions such as: armed conflict, diplomatic conflict, labor
conflict, intergenerational conflict, conflict of interest, conflict of ideas,
etc., – all these involve actors situated either in irreducible and
irreconcilable positions, or in a turning/critical point of their cooperation.
Starting from etymology, and with an eye to the war in Ukraine, our conference
aims at exploring conflict in various historical, political, and social
contexts, with a clear focus on the European time and space. We are interested
especially in how conflict is translated in cultural frames and in the role
played by the social sciences and humanities in raising, maintaining, and in
preventing conflicts as well. Culture is inextricable from conflict. For any
complex system, internal and external conflicts make the system dynamic,
requiring constant adjustment to changing conditions, continuously stirring
further and better resolutions. However, there is a point where conflict turns
from healthy to destructive (Welch, 2017). According to Jonathan Turner
(2001), cultural conflict is a type of conflict that occurs when different
social and cultural perceptions and values clash, “placing people at odds with
one another”. The conference aims to stimulate discussion and foster new
connections between scholars and practitioners interested in the broader
dynamics of conflict, dialogue, diplomacy, propaganda, as well as in the
cultural representations and cultural responses to conflicts, and trauma and
memory studies. How we deal with the continuous challenges determined by
political, social, and cultural conflicts? How does conflict re-shape the
entire landscape of the social sciences and humanities? Is an
interdisciplinary perspective helpful in identifying, solving and preventing
social and cultural conflicts? How do scholars from different fields work
together to develop novel conceptual and methodological frameworks to provide
extraordinary solution to problems affecting today’s world? As technology and
digital become increasingly prevalent, will digital humanities become “a site
of struggle” for the future of the academia?
We invite you to send an abstract of around 200 words to the following
address: phssconference at gmail.com, until the 15th of September 2022.
Individual papers as well as full panels are panels are welcome. There is no
participation fee for this PHSS edition. The conference languages are
Romanian, English, French: https://conferencephss.com
