Sjever je u Zapadnoj kulturi upravo temeljni smjer.

Kao geografski pojam, „sjever“ se može koristiti za označavanje bilo kojeg mjesta u sjevernoj hemisferi, od ekvatora do Sjevernog pola. U odnosu na SAD, cijela Kanada može se gledati kao „sjever“. No, unutar Kanade postoji čitav niz različitih „sjevera“, povijesno i u sadašnjosti: od francuskog naziva za kanadski teritorij „Pays d’en Haut“ koji potječe od vremena prvih istraživača ili Voyageurs, stari sjeverozapad, današnji prostor za kampiranje i kolibe „na sjeveru“, najsjevernija područja mnogih provincija (koja se razlikuju širom zemlje), sjeverniji teritoriji (Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut), daleki sjeveri. Svaki od njih odražava neku drugu vrstu „nordiciteta“, koristeći naširoko prihvaćen pojam kanadskog geografa Louisa-Edmonda Hamelina.

Onkraj same geografije, „sjever“ je također koncept koji obuhvaća širok raspon značenja i simboličkih vrijednosti. On je također i zamišljen prostor, kao i prostor za imaginarno, prostor mita, kao i prostor kojeg mit oblikuje, naizmjenično okrutan i oplemenjujuć, zagonetan i poticajan, moćan i krhak. „Sjevernost“ Kanade često se vidi kao jedna od njezinih prepoznatljivih  značajki, kao vitalan element kanadskog identiteta  –  čak i kad „sjever“ u ovom slučaju predstavlja samo neurbani dio Kanade sjeverno od  tankog naseljeng pojasa  uz granicu sa Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama. On je također izvor ponosa  – „pravi sjever, jak i slobodan“ – i, u eri klimatskih promjena, sve veći izazov. Zamišljeni i stvarni sjeveri Kanade već su stoljećima književna i kulturna opsesija.

Cilj ove konferencije je istražiti i doslovne i zamišljene aspekte odnosa između Kanade i „sjevera“ – zemljopisne, ekonomske, književne, lingvistične, kulturne, društvene, političke, diplomatske, okolišne. Tražimo radove iz svih disciplina koje se bave Kanadom i kanadskim studiima.

Radovi mogu mogu uključivati sljedeće teme, ali NISU ograničeni na njih:
– sjever i njegovi prikazi: stvaran i zamišljen teritorij
– sjever u kanadskoj književnosti:  nordicitet i njegove inačice
– umjetnička djela i književnost Prvih nacija
– simboličan sjever u kanadskoj kulturi: hokej, zimski karneval, kanui
– žive na sjeveru: aboridžinske zajednice, život i opstanak tradicionalnih kultura, demografija i razvoj lokalnih zajednica, društveni problemi
– sjever i jug: Kanada kao američki „sjever“, južna Kanada i njezin „sjever“
– donošenje političkih odluka na sjeveru: uloge federalne, provincijske , teritorijalne i lokalne vlasti
– sjever i ekonomska pitanja: eksploatacija resursa, istraživanje plina i nafte, turizam
– sjever i međunarodna zajednica: obrana kanadskog suvereniteta, Arktičko vijeće

Prihvaćamo prijedloge za prezentacije u području kanadskih studija u trajanju od dvadeset minuta. Primamo prijave radova na engleskom i francuskom jeziku.

We have the pleasure to invite scholars, PhD candidates and students to create with us the 3rd issue of ProLog: Interdisciplinary Magazine on the Humanities.
The issue is going to be dedicated to Roland Barthes on the 100th anniversary of his birthday (1915-2015). We are interested in looking at the French philosopher’s accomplishments from the perspective of today’s humanities, and in considering the reception of his thought, as well as its importance for the contemporary philosophy and literary studies. So remarkable are Barthes’ achievements that we have decided not to include a list of proposed topics. Please find our publication guidelines at
http://prologczasopismo.wordpress.com/publikuj-2/.
The deadline for papers submission is 18 May 2015. We would like to remind you that you can also publish critical texts, essays and reviews.
Our website:
prologczasopismo.wordpress.com
Attached please find a file with detailed guidelines for articles that are to be published in our magazine.
Please forward our call for papers to your Colleagues and Students. We would be delighted if we could have your papers in the upcoming issue of our ProLog.
