4th \;International Interdisciplinary Boredom Conference
\nCALL FOR PAPERS
\nJune 24 to 25\, 2021\,
\nFaculty of Philosophy\, Complutense University of Madrid\, Spain
\n\n\n\nFor years\, the literature on boredom has been crowded with complaints about the scarcity of research on the subject\, even though there is a large amount of papers and books on this phenomenon\, since philosophers\, theologians\, sociologists\, and writers have reflected on boredom for centuries. The area of \;cross-disciplinaryBoredom Studies \;has been successfully launched and continued to steadily grow over the last two decades. Whatever domain of reality boredom researchers scrutinize\, boredom emerges as a significant part of our daily lives. \;
\nIn accordance with previous editions\, the \;4th \;International Interdisciplinary Boredom Conference \;aims to attract specialists on \;boredom from a wide range of disciplines to expand the knowledge we have already achieved concerning its nature\, history\, causes\, and consequences. The goals of this encounter are to 1) gather together boredom researchers from various academic disciplines worldwide\; 2) make new and develop existing connections between them\; 3) create the venue for interdisciplinary boredom-oriented academic discussion\; 4) promote Boredom Studies as a justified\, significant\, and needed domain of scientific research\; and 5) establish recurrent organizational and social structures that enable further development of Boredom Studies. \;
\n\n \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;We look forward to proposals addressing the following \;areas of interest:
\n\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;Philosophy\, Theology and History of Boredom

\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;Boredom in Literature and Art
