Looking back on the
Fifth Socratic Simposium
November 7, Florence, Italy
Dear Colleagues,
Many thanks - as ever, for your inspiration. The Socrates day of the Florence workshop worked way beyond my expectation. Kieran, Kieran Bonner and Arpad raised the level and gave us something to use and aim for the planned Plato/Socrates collections. I wish I could have listened you more, but time did not allow - and I was rewarded by a couple of unexpected finds. Jason was quite outstanding and is clearly engaged in a large and important project. Let's keep in touch. Of course, an event like this always produce something special and unexpected, Tom rose to the occasion fantastically well - yet more new insights, and such energy. The whole day worked - new things emerged and combined -thanks to Bjorn, Harald, Lionel. The night in our Hobbit place continued with reading Plato with interesting notes from Paolo, Daniel and Julian. I was very excited by the whole atmosphere. Kieran B. and Jason please do not forget to send your papers to this address.
Best wishes,
Agnes
Looking back on the
Second IPASS Summer School
on "The Masks of the Contemporary"
June 26-July 4, Florence, Italy
Dear Colleagues and Students,
Needless to say, we were very much delighted that so many students of special qualities have participated on the IPA Summer School in Florence, and that so we had a whole week for learning and exchanging ideas, improving our understanding – of society, of the world, and also of ourselves, as it only proper for a Summer School devoted to “political anthropology”, in the broadest possible sense of the term. The following statement, hopefully, will evoke some pleasant memories in those who participated, and render curious those who consider the possibility of taking part in the next Summer School.
Best wishes,
Agnes
