Historein: A Review of the Past and Other Stories now ONLINE at http://www.nnet.gr/historein.htm Announcement International Conference History between Reflexivity and Critique Organized by the journal Historein: a review of the past & other stories the International Commission of Historiography and Theory of History, and the Historical Archive of the University of Athens. Athens, October 30th - November  1st, 2008 Concept of the Conference Historical theory developed, in the last decades, into numerous interrogations, enforcing processes of reflexivity within history. By bringing history itself at the center of attention, important aspects of contemporary historical theory not only established reflexivity as a critical part of historical theorizing. They also developed the features of critique. Similarly to critique, these forms of theorizing, thinking, writing and doing history arose as object-depended, contributed to processes of self-transformation and re-formed the kind of questions asked by historians. This intersection between history, reflexivity and critique or rather, the possibility of history as critique through reflexivity is of particular interest and complexity. It poses its own epistemological, disciplinary, theoretical but also political questions. In the conference, we will explore and examine the broad range of possibilities that the intersection of history with critique opens up. Particular emphasis will be given to Historical reflexivity and varieties of critical history: - history writing as cultural and political critique - contemporary theoretical investigations linked to the concept of reflexivity and critique in history (i.e. post-structuralism, post-colonial theory, gender theory, psychoanalysis etc.) - reflections on the potentials and limitations of history, including enquiries into the nature, the uses and the politics of history - relations of critique to knowledge, desire, change and its implications for history operations and formulations of the concept of critique in an interdisciplinary perspective.
