Inca celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Jornades d’Estudis Locals (Local Studies Conferences)

Then, in the afternoon of Friday 22nd November and the morning of Saturday 23rd November, the presentation of papers of the XXV Jornadas will take place, together with the inaugural presentation and open debate. Twenty papers will be presented by some thirty speakers, divided into different thematic blocks (Education and Culture, Archaeology and Medieval and Modern History, Contemporary History and Art).

The inaugural lecture, which will take place on Friday 22nd November at 8 pm, will be given by Caterina Valriu Llinàs, PhD in Catalan Philology from the University of the Balearic Islands, under the title ‘Rondalles, leyendas y sucedidos de Inca: memoria y fantasía’ (Rondalles, legends and events of Inca: memory and fantasy).

The Jornades d’Estudis Locals d’Inca (Inca Local Studies Conference) was a pioneering event in Mallorca when it was first held in 1994. Since then, various editions have been held; since 2006, they have been held annually. Since its inception, the Conference has counted on the collaboration of the Scientific Commission, which is responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the Conference and assessing the suitability of the papers presented for future publication. The Conference is organised together with the Centro de Profesorado de Inca and has the support of the Instituto de Estudios Baleáricos.

The content of the papers presented at the XXV Jornades d’Estudis Locals d’Inca will be collected in a volume that will be presented in April 2025, within the framework of the Festa del Llibre. Moreover, they are also published digitally through the Digital Library of the Balearic Islands and any researcher can consult each of the more than 350 studies presented at the Jornadas de Estudios Locales de Inca.
