PresentationOn the 6 and 7 June 2013, for the fifth consecutive year, Sapienza Universit&#224; di Roma will be organising the International Conference &#8220;Dialogues between Theatre and Neuroscience&#8221;. This year, the interdisciplinary dimension of the event will be supported through a collaboration involving the Department of Art History and Performing Arts, the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology &#8220;V. Erspamer&#8221;, and the Faculty of Philosophy, Arts, Humanities and Oriental Studies of Sapienza Universit&#224; di Roma. In the course of these five years the Conference has hosted more than sixty scholars hailing not only from the fields of theatre and cognitive neuroscience, but also from the fields of anthropology, psychology, physiology, history of art, musicology, philosophy, education and sport sciences.The theme chosen for this year&#8217;s conference is the following: In what ways does interdisciplinary encounter change the disciplines involved? In what ways can the practices and studies of theatre change the research praxis of neuroscience? In what ways can the theories and paradigms of neuroscience modify the research praxis of theatre, in both its performative and academic cultures?Submission guidelinesWe therefore invite interested Ph.D. candidates and graduates, post-docs, researchers and professors to&#160;participate in the Conference by sending a presentation proposal.Proposals may illustrate an example or a hypothesis of the way in which the circulation of knowledge and experience changes the research praxis of those involved. Case studies may refer to a contemporary experience or to the history of the disciplines in question. Priority will be given to the presentation of reflections and outcomes deriving from pragmatic, collaborative experiences or experimental paradigms.&#160;Each proposal has to include:A title5 keywordsA presentation of the topic and of the research methodology (max.&#160;400 words)A short bibliographyA short biographical note of the proponent, stating research institution, personal course of studies and any publications.In total proposals should not exceed&#160;900 words.Technical detailsEach presentation is allotted a duration of maximum 20 minutesProposals may be sent in Italian, English, French and SpanishPresentations will be delivered in Italian or EnglishPresentations in other languages will be accepted but must be accompanied by a written translation in Italian or EnglishDeadlinesAll proposals are to be sent via email to:&#160;gabrielesofia@hotmail.it&#160;by not later than the&#160;17 March 2013The decision of the scientific committee will be communicated via email by the 24 March 2013Scientific CommitteeThe members of the scientific committee in charge of selecting the proposals are:&#160;Prof. Clelia Falletti &#8211; Theatre historian, Sapienza Universit&#224; di RomaProf. Luciano Mariti &#8211; Theatre historian, Sapienza Universit&#224; di RomaProf. Giovanni Mirabella &#8211; Neuroscientist, IRCCS Neuromed, Sapienza Universit&#224;&#160;&#160;&#160; di RomaDr. Victor Jacono &#8211; Ph.D., Sapienza Universit&#224; di RomaDr. Gabriele Sofia &#8211; Ph.D., Sapienza Universit&#224; di Roma, MSH - Paris Nord.Practical InformationThe event will be held on the premises of Sapienza Universit&#224; di RomaCosts related to flights, transport, accommodation and subsistence are at the expense of the proponents or their respective research institutions.Website and info:http://www.dass.uniroma1.it/archivionotizie/dialoghi-tra-teatro-e-neuroscienze-2013gabrielesofia@hotmail.it
