Human Faces of Power. Turku X Methodological Conference in Historical Studies

Turku 10.9.2009 - 12.9.2009

Since 1997, the Department of History and the Department of Contemporary History at the University of Turku have organized conferences on the theory and methodology of history. These conferences have dealt with the themes of memory, time, space and change and have aimed at drawing together methodological debates. "Human Faces of Power", to be organized 10-12 September 2009, is the tenth conference in the series. The conference program is available at the conference home page http://histconf.utu.fi .

Power is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon that goes beyond overt and institutionalized frameworks and encompasses the individual conduct of negotiations and disputes. Informal and invisible power structures are of the utmost importance in maintaining, transforming and challenging formally recognized power relations.

The Conference Human Faces of Power, to be held at the University of Turku, Finland, will focus on the ubiquitous power relations that are not merely institutionalized forms of communication, but which inform and are manifested in everyday contacts between individuals, groups and organizations. In analyzing these contacts it is essential to recognize a diverse range of micro-strategies for empowerment and disempowerment.

The organizers of the conference Human Faces of Power welcome scholars to explore theoretical and methodological aspects of power relations within a historical perspective. The Conference will be tenth in the series of methodological conferences, organized by the Department of History and the Department of Contemporary History at the University of Turku, Finland.
