10:30 Paper, Athens (Greece)
16:30 Round-Table Discussion

The paper begins by reflecting on the terms that comprise the conference’s theme: “Humanities”, “Arts” and “Global World”, and goes on to address questions about the potential for transforming the ‘big’ concepts into manageable categories of thinking, feeling and acting, that means to ‘humanize’ the “Humanities”. The attempt to bring about a transformation seeks to establish connections between the Humanities as academic disciplines and the Humanities as Applied Human and Cultural Sciences and/or as Applied Life Sciences.
