1. 1. About the Conference
Like the Conference "Multilingualism,
Transnationality, Humanities"
from 6 to 9 December 2001, the Conference "The Simulaneity
of the Unsimultaneous" will serve as preparation for the
big Conference "The Unifying Aspects of Cultures,"
to be held from 7 to 9 November 2003 in the Austria Center in
Vienna.
If the preparatory Conference in the year 2001 was concerned
with reaching agreement on the foundations of linguistic communication
in terms of multilingualism, the INST-Conference in the year
2002 will focus on working out the subject. In doing so, the
aim is not to examine the proposed topics for the sections in
2003 as such, but to work out contextual commonalities and diversities.
On this basis a solid and practical macro-structure will be developed
for the 2003 conference.
The Conference itself is a transdisciplinary Conference. For
that reason, not only are scholars and researchers from the most
varied disciplines being invited to participate, but also artists,
teachers, journalists, politicians and others, who are concerned
with knowing about cultural processes and their representations.
2. Structure of the Conference
The full assembly is proposed for the presentation of the
basic elements of the Conference: the Introduction, the Plenary
Sections, the Workshops and the presentations of results in the
assembly. Up to seven hours are planned for the presentation
of the Workshop results.
The difference in the speaking times results from the limitations
caused by combining the Workshops and the full assembly. Ten
minutes are scheduled for contributions in the Plenary Session
and 20 to 30 minutes for those in the Workshops. The results
of the Workshops (6/7 December 2002) will be presented in the
full assembly on 8 December 2002.
The basic idea is to organize the Conference in such a way
that all participants will be allowed to give talks, if they
wish to do so, and not just contribute to the discussions. This
will be made possible by the great number of sections and the
many reports to the full assembly as well as publication in the
WWW.
On the basis of this background, the following structure of
the Conference is proposed:
