-----------------------------

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 now 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.
