Meeting Description:

The conference entitled “Authority & Trust: Interdisciplinary and Comparative
Perspectives” will explore the emergence and transformation of authority and
trust in American politics, society, religion, literature and culture from the
nineteenth century to the present. We conceive of authority and trust as
dynamic and complementary concepts: authority pertains to the tension between
power and legitimacy and implies the ability to induce voluntary obedience;
trust, by contrast, often connotes personal and intimate relationships among
equals. Trust also extends to larger impersonal entities and institutions, and
authority, as a social relationship based on voluntary compliance, seeks the
trust of those who are asked to comply.


Call for Papers:

The conference entitled “Authority & Trust: Interdisciplinary and Comparative
Perspectives” will explore the emergence and transformation of authority and
trust in American politics, society, religion, literature and culture from the
nineteenth century to the present. We conceive of authority and trust as
dynamic and complementary concepts: authority pertains to the tension between
power and legitimacy and implies the ability to induce voluntary obedience;
trust, by contrast, often connotes personal and intimate relationships among
equals. Trust also extends to larger impersonal entities and institutions, and
authority, as a social relationship based on voluntary compliance, seeks the
trust of those who are 
asked to comply.

We seek papers that investigate different elements of authority and trust
within the U.S. context and how the sources, functions, and manifestations of
authority and trust have changed over time. Contributions should speak to one
or several of three thematic areas:

1) The Authority of the Modern State and Trust in Public and Social
Institutions
2) The Urban Dimension of Authority and Trust
3) Authority and Trust in Culture, Literature, and Religion

The division between these areas provides a starting point for a larger
interdisciplinary discussion between history, political science, geography,
literature, linguistics, discourse studies, cultural studies, media studies,
and religious history. Papers that cut across thematic, historical,
geographical, and disciplinary boundaries are especially encouraged.

Abstracts (<500 words) and brief biographical information to be submitted 
via email (gkat-conference2020 at hca.uni-heidelberg.de) by December 16, 2019.
