Extended Deadline for Registration: 12th of May!
Dear colleagues,
We are now proceeding with organizing the accommodations and collecting the transferals. This week the deadline of booking accommodation in the “Florianshof” has come up.
We had fixed an option for these rooms for your convenience till the end of May. We have been informed this week that up to now no single booking has been received by the hotelier. That is a pity. The locality is really nice, cheap, and most of all it is conveniently situated to the conference hall in Gilching. We have made a last agreement with the hotelier to extend the deadline for reservation to June, 10th, not later!
Please consider booking a room in the “Florianshof” during the next days, otherwise it is on your own risk to get an accommodation there, because during summer holidays the accommodations are highly coveted. This information refers only to the “Florianshof”. But please keep in mind that booking a room early avoids stress!
Please draw attention on the following deadlines:
If you cancel your registration till July 23, 2010, the fee will be refunded completely (minus 10, - € for money transfer and administration costs).
Cancellation till August 13, 2010: 210,- € will be refunded (accompanying person: 80,- €).
Cancellation after August 13, 2010: There is no refunding of fees possible.
Deadline for paying the registration fee: June 15, 2010.
If you have any questions please contact us!
Looking forward to see you at Gilching!

Rationale
Throughout the course of the history of astronomy, from Earlier Prehistory to the Age of Space Flight, power structures existed, which more or less had been derived from and related to astronomical phenomena or had been based on certain cosmovisions. These significantly affected and formed the economic, social, political, artistic, and religious life of man in different cultures.
Cosmographies, time reckoning and calendar systems, celestial navigation techniques, landscape and architectural models of cosmic potency, celestial divination and astrological ideas, cosmic clothing, and other astronomical related concepts had been successfully used by interest groups to establish, to maintain, and to expand psychic, social, religious, and political power. The interaction of social and cultural reforms and revolutions with altered astronomical concepts and models of the world often is obvious.
In addition it may be considered to discuss the topic of astronomy and power in the 20th and 21st c., especially the exploitation of archaeoastronomy and ethnoastronomy by certain interest groups.
As usual at SEAC conferences any other topic dedicated to the field of archaeoastronomy, ethnoastronmy, and astronomy in culture can be thematised.
