The society for the study of Existential and Phenomenological Theory and Culture / Théorie et culture existentialistes et phénoménologiques (EPTC/TCEP) invites papers discussing any aspects of existential or phenomenological theory or culture. EPTC/TCEP will meet at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada on May 27-30, 2014, in conjunction with the Congress of the Social Sciences and Humanities of Canada. For example, papers dealing with theoretical or cultural issues in relation to authors such as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Dostoyevsky, Kafka, Beckett, Husserl, Heidegger, Jaspers, Levinas, Malraux, Marcel, Buber, Frankl, Sartre, Camus, Merleau-Ponty, Beauvoir, Irigaray, or Laing are all welcome. Submissions from all disciplines are welcome. Our keynote speaker this year will be Christine Daigle.

Interested authors should submit the following electronically in .doc, .docx, or .rtf format:

1. A copy of your paper, not more than 4500 words, and prepared for anonymous review (identifiable by paper title only).

2. A separate abstract, not more than 100 words, also listing the paper's title, author?s name, complete mailing address, institutional affiliation, and e-mail address.

If you are interested in either presenting a commentary (of not more than 1000 words) on a paper, or chairing a session, please submit a brief e-mail note indicating as much, including your name, complete mailing address, institutional affiliation, e-mail address, and relevant areas of interest.

EPTC/TCEP is able to waive Congress fees for a few delegates each year. Such awards will be made according to criteria of financial need and quality of paper at the discretion of the conference program coordinator.
