Call for Papers:

 

“Astrology represents the sum of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity”, Carl Jung

Is astrology a science, an art, or both? How can it be a guide, an inspiration, and a tool for knowledge-making? What can it teach us about the psyche and our relationship with others? We would like to explore this further in our transdisciplinary conference, Astrology in Focus:
Navigating Art, Psyche, and Knowledge,
 by looking at the intricate connections between astrology, creativity, and knowledge. From ancient traditions to modern interpretations, we invite scholars, practitioners, creatives, and enthusiasts to contribute their insights on how astrology serves as an inspiration for artistic expression and a pathway to deeper insights into the human experience, exploring the multifaceted dimensions of astrology as a science, psychology, and art.

We welcome proposals for 15-minute virtual presentations (scholarly or creative formats) that explore astrology from a wide range of disciplines, including literature, media studies, psychology, anthropology, cultural studies, philosophy, sociology, and others.

 

Conference themes include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Astrology and technology (apps, artificial intelligence, etc.)
