Seventh International Napoleonic CongressNapoleon, Europe and the WorldMontreal, Quebec, Canada
|
The International Napoleonic Society will hold its seventh International Napoleonic Congress in the beautiful and historic city of Montréal, Canada. Our host will be the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, which has just dedicated a permanent exhibition of INS founder Ben Weider's outstanding Napoleonic collection. There will be no registration fee for this Congress. We especially encourage papers that concentrate on Napoleon's activities in the years around 1809 that had a major impact on Europe and the Americas. Since this is our first Congress in North America, we hope to see numerous papers on Napoleon's influence on developments in Latin and North America. We also encourage papers that look at Napoleon's relationship with the arts, including his support of them and the creation of his image by artists. Other papers and themes will be given full consideration and we encourage you to submit any proposal. Special attention will be given to new research on any Napoleonic topic. Papers should be no more than 15 pages double-spaced, and presentations are limited to 20-30 minutes. Please complete the registration form and also include a one-page summary of your paper and a résumé. We encourage you to request an electronic version of the form so that you can submit it via email. When completed, please submit a printed version of your paper as well as an electronic version via email attachment or CD, using Microsoft WORD or another major word processing program. You may give us the printed version of your paper at the Congress. If requested, you will be given an opportunity to make revisions to your paper. Selected papers will be published in a journal and/or on our website. The official languages of the conference will be English and French. Hotel information will be forthcoming via email and on our website. We urge you to check for further information and forms on our official website, www.napoleonicsociety.com . If you have not already done so, please send us your email address, as that is our preferred method of communication. |
