12th International Conference of the Society for Emblem Studies 

Taking as motto “Muta poesis, pictura loquens” (Mute poetry, speaking picture), the Latin version of “Muda Poesia[1], Pintura que fala”[2], the 12th International Conference of the Society for emblem Studies should take place at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Coimbra (Portugal) in 2020.

However, the pandemic has particularly impacted Portugal and the Organizing Committee has reluctantly decided to postpone the meeting until 2022. 

The conference will cover the entire universe of emblem studies and papers on every aspect of emblematics are welcome. Following on from the traditional thematic lines pursued at previous conferences, this meeting intends to stimulate new research approaches. Additionally, it aims to foster emblem studies and related issues in Portugal.

Call for Papers 

Papers and entire panels on every aspect of your research into emblematics, in addition to these topics, are welcome. Papers can be given in Portuguese, English, French, German, Italian or Spanish. Please let us know if you would like to suggest a panel or moderate a section. A brief curriculum (max. 100 words), titles and abstracts (max. 250 words) for a twenty-minute presentation should be sent to sescoimbra2020@gmail.com by 31 December 2021. More info
