Technology and the Making of Europe
ICOHTEC symposium Barcelona 2012: Call for papers
26 September 2011
The 39th The International Committee for the History of Technology’s Symposium will be held in Catalonia in mid-July next year. The main theme of the meeting will be Technology, the Arts and Industrial Culture. The aim is to examine technology in a multi-disciplinary framework. The key questions are how technological development has interacted with design, architecture, the arts as well as popular culture and whether we can regard industrial culture as a melting pot of various influences. Reflecting on the theme of the previous conference we hope also to explore the role of consumers in this dialogue. Barcelona with its rich industrial history, outstanding architecture and ample collections of the arts will be an excellent site for examining the interactions of technology with the arts, structural and form design as well as culture in general.
ICOHTEC welcomes individual papers and poster proposals as well as the submissions of sessions to this symposium.
