Institut Catholique de Paris

<h1>COV&amp;R Annual Meeting </h1><h2>“A celebration of René Girard’s 100th birthday: The future of Mimetic theory ”</h2><h3>The Catholic Institute of Paris Welcomes COV&amp;R to Paris, June 14-17, 2023</h3><h2></h2><p>The 2023 COV&amp;R conference will be held in France from June 14 to 17 at the Catholic Institute of Paris (Institut Catholique de Paris—ICP) where we will be graciously hosted by Camille Riquier, Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy at the Institute. Founded in 1875, the Catholic Institute of Paris is the inheritor of the medieval liberal arts colleges and lies in the tradition of the Sorbonne, the oldest academic institution in France. Rene Girard received an honorary doctorate from the Institute. We are very grateful to have received this invitation from Dean Riquier after the war in Ukraine necessitated that we no longer meet as originally planned in Romania. </p><p>The l’association Recherches mimétiques, under the able leadership of Benoît Chantre, is partnering with COV&amp;R and the Catholic Institut of Paris on details of the conference. The planning team includes Benoit Chantre, Paul Dumouchel, Niki Wandinger, Wolfgang Palaver, and Mari Blaj.</p><p></p><p><strong>By early January, the call for papers will be posted to the COV&amp;R website with additional information to follow on the conference website.
