International Conference on Money, Markets and Meaning

Deadline for proposals: 15 April 2025
Conference website: https://money.lcir.co.uk

How do we ascribe meaning to money, and how does it shape our identities, relationships and values? What narratives and myths surround its use, accumulation and distribution? From its role in consumer culture to its depiction in literature, art and media, money permeates every aspect of human life, embodying ideals of wealth, power and morality.

deadline for submissions:

Romantic-era approaches to popular belief, from the philosophical to the sociological, had different ways of framing the “common.” Common beliefs might be framed as ordinary, intuitive, or rooted in common sentiment; or might in contrast suggest vulgar or popular belief, as in the category of “popular superstitions.” This panel will look at Romantic-era constructions of common or popular belief, with topics that might include (but are not limited to): “Common Sense” philosophy and intuitive belief; popular religion; folklore and supernatural beliefs; cultures of popular magic; or other approaches to “traditional” belief.
