The Nature of the "Reveries"
La Nature des "Rêveries"

XIVth Biennial Colloquium of the Rousseau Association
XIVe colloque bisannuel de l'Association Rousseau

Thank you for your interest in the XIVth Biennial Colloquium of the Rousseau Association. More information about the Association can be found on this Web site.  Papers will be given in English or French, as this is a bilingual association, and the colloquium has attracted an international panel of experts, as you can see from the program.  All sessions have a plenary format.  The subject of this year's colloquium is Rousseau's last work, his Reveries of the Solitary Wallker, published posthumously in 1782.

Members of the Hamilton College and Clinton communities are welcome to attend any or all of the daytime events scheduled for the colloquium at no charge.  Those outside of the local community will need to register with Ms. Dannelle Parker, Administrative Services, Hamilton College, 198 College Hill Road, Clinton, NY 13323 (telephone:  315-859-4372;  e-mail:  dparker@hamilton.edu). Registration fees for the entire conference are $50.00 or $25.00 per day for Friday or Saturday.  There will be no charge for either the first plenary talk on Thursday afternoon or the Sunday morning session.  Anyone wishing to purchase lunch at the conference may do so in advance for $12.00 per day on Friday and Saturday, $10.00 on Sunday.  Contact Ms. Parker if you wish to join us for lunch on any one of these days.
