2005 HELSINKI - BOOK EXHIBIT NOTES |

Every year the IAPL holds a major Book Exhibit in conjunction with its annual conferences.
We have a large and elegant exhibit planned for the 2005 conference in Helsinki (FINLAND). The exhibit will be held in the Tieteiden Talo in close proximity to the rooms where concurrent sessions are held, permitting easy flow from the conference presentations and discussions to the Book Exhibit. This will also be in the same location as the IAPL 2005 Registration and Conference Cafe.
The Book Exhibit is arranged each year by the IAPL Executive Director and is organized by an experienced staff who have been involved in running IAPL Book Exhibits for many years.
Typically about 500 people attend IAPL conferences and this year's program has been heavily subscribed to in terms of paper submissions and program preparations. We also have an extraordinary list of major speakers and conference participants, including Steven Holl, Kiasma architect, and Gianni Vattimo, former member of the European Parliament and Professor of Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Torino, ITALY.
With the 2005 conference, the IAPL returns to Europe but this time to the Nordic country of Finland. Prior to holding its 2004 conference in Syracuse (New York), the two previous conferences were held in The Netherlands (Rotterdam- 2002) and the UK (Leeds-2003). We are excited about the prospect of returning to Europe and and look forward to an especially large interest in the conference Book Exhibit for 2005.
The Conference Topic is CHIASMATIC ENCOUNTERS. We encourage you to exhibit not only your current list of publications in the areas of Contemporary (and particularly Continental) Philosophy, Literary and Cultural Theory, Media and Film Studies, Aesthetics and Art Theory, Contemporary Political Theory, Gender Studies, Performance Studies, and the like, but also more broadly works in the history of philosophy, literary criticism, intellectual history, aesthetic theory, and cultural studies.
The IAPL Book Exhibit features the specially identified display of publications by individual publishers. Each publisher reserving display space will have place for the exhibit of books, posters, catalogues, order forms, fliers, and the like. We work primarily with individual publishers for the display of their work. Publishers have indicated that they are particularly satisfied with this aspect of IAPL Book Exhibits.
For publishers reserving space, we are able to include special order forms in conference participants' packets (as long as we receive them at the conference location at least one month prior to the beginning of the conference).
Publishers are invited to send their own representatives. For those publishers unable to send representatives, our experienced book exhibit staff is able to set up and supervise the display. We can also collect publisher's conference discount order forms (with credit card payments only) and return them to the publisher's designated person for processing after the conference is completed.
Publishers sending their own representatives are of course welcome to prepare, set up,.and supervise their own tables as well as sell books as they see fit. If they send editors and prefer to have the IAPL book exhibit staff maintain their tables, we are also able to make arrangements to do so.
We ask that publishers send to the IAPL Executive Director a list of books to be exhibited at the conference no later than April 15th, 2004. This can be done by e-mail or by fax (as listed below). We also request an e-mail confirmation of the number of boxes being sent.
Please contact Hugh J. Silverman, IAPL Executive Director [execdir@iapl.info ] for table reservations, table fees, invoice/payment procedures, and details on sending of books to Helsinki (for receipt no later than April 15th, 2005).
