Subject: Call for Papers: 12th Making of the Humanities conference, Torun, October 7-9, 2026
The Society for the History of the Humanities is delighted to announce
that the next Making of the Humanities conference will be held in Poland.
In 2026, the 12th Making of the Humanities conference will be hosted by
Nicolaus Copernicus University, in Torun, October 7-9, 2026.
The theme of the conference will be “The Structure of Humanistic
Revolutions". What transformations have shaped the history of the
humanities, and what “revolutions” within humanistic disciplines have
been conceptualized, contested, and institutionalized over time?
The conference will, among other topics, include reflections on epochal
movements— from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment and from
Romanticism to contemporary Posthumanism. But what are the "structures"
that underpin these transformations? Can we even speak of unified
revolutions in the history of the humanities, or are these shifts more
nuanced, gradual, and contested than the revolutionary label suggests?
By drawing attention to Copernicus' legacy in the humanities, this
conference, aptly held in the birthplace of Copernicus, will among other
things explore how revolutions in the humanities might differ from those
in scientific inquiry.
Deadline for all submissions: April 19, 2026.
