Dear Colleagues,

We are very pleased to announce our international conference " Temps et espace en Egypte ancienne - Time and Space in Ancient Egypt". The objective of this conference will be to treat the interactions between space and time in a more systematic way and to put into perspective the points already considered in former studies. It will aim to give a general overview of the status quaestionis, take stock of the situation of the current researches and open up new prospects for further researches. A better knowing of the Egyptians' conception of space and time, of the way they made them interact with each other will enable us to understand ever more deeply the several aspects of this culture.

This is the reason why this conference will have a strong interdisciplinary dimension. It will be organised around four main axes: linguistics, philology, iconography and beliefs. For these four axes, the following themes have been selected: - lexicon and metaphors ; iconicity - grammar - philology, narratology - texts from the ideology vs. texts from the vernacular : time and space of the gods vs. time and space of the humans - figurative representations - religious and funerary beliefs? Organisation

The conference will take place in Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium), from the 9th until the 11th June 2016. It is conjointly organised by the Université catholique de Louvain and the Université de Liège. Call for papers Scholars interested in the conference's topics are kindly invited to submit a paper (30 min.) or present a poster (A0/A1 format). The deadline for submitting an abstract (max. 1 page A4) is the 15th October 2015. Abstracts must be sent by email in.doc and pdf formats.
