ABOUT THE SCHOOL AND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
The title of our sixth annual Summer School and International Conference, Beyond Secular Faith is Economy of Desire. Our late capitalist and secular culture is based on an intense relationship of economy and desire. This is manifested most acutely in a virtual consumerism that has come to dominate our sense of self and our relations.
The hope of this International Summer School and Conference is to take the current anthropological crisis as an opportunity to repose the question of the deeper theological relation of economy and desire. Our goal is to eschew the reduction of our two terms in order recover to them their polyvalent and genuinely human, incarnate reality.
For five years our summer school has facilitated a rich and friendly theological, philosophical and cultural dialogue in freedom, in the unique setting of Granada, a breathtakingly beautiful city that lies at the historic crossroads of modernity and the Christian tradition.
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS – CALL FOR PAPERS
Deadline: 30th April 2018
We invite graduate and PhD students as well as postdoctoral researchers to take part in the International Summer School and Conference
Seminars will meet Monday through Friday (4 hours a day). You can either choose to study for five days or you can also participate and attend a 3-day International Congress at the end of the summer course.
A key feature of the IFES Summer School is the out-of-class learning which will be an integral part of each module. The content will vary but excursions include visits to the tropical beaches in Granada, flamenco show at the Sacromonte caves, Alhambra Palace and Generalife Gardens. All International Summer Students and the professors will live in several hotels or apartments right in the heart of the city, near the Albaycín, the old Moorish quarter of the city and only few minutes’ walk from library facilities, shops, restaurants, theatres, and social areas.
The programme fee includes all tuition costs, your own private room with bathroom, a comprehensive orientation and social activities, and optional fields trips. There will also be the possibility to pay just for the courses without the trips and cultural activities as some of you might have already seen the city and its precious monuments. Download last year’s prospectus for further information.
Please send your CV and a short letter of intent to secretaria@institutoifes.es
If you would like to present a paper for the Conference (besides participating in the Summer School), please send and abstract (400 words) on a topic related to the theme. Successful candidates will be informed as soon as possible.
