The International Center for Humanistic Discourses at the University of California, Irvine, was created to study "the cultural
function of the humanistic discourses and, more particularly, the constitutive contribution of the arts to the formation of
culture." ICHD was established by a grant from the Alexander Von Humboldt Foundation with matching support from UC Irvine.
Principal investigators were Murray Krieger and Wolfgang Iser, but members of the center included Hazard Adams, Ernst Behler,
Hendrik Birus, Jacques Derrida, J. Hillis Miller, K. Ludwig Pfeiffer, Bill Readings, Pauline Yu, and Wang Ching-hsien.
ICHD organized the The International Conference on Humanistic Discourses, held in 1994 (April 3-8) at UC Irvine, 1995 at UC
Irvine, 1996 (September 16-20) in Munich, 1997 (October 5-11) in Seattle, and 1999 (April 7-9) at UC Irvine. Papers from the
1994, 1995, and 1996 conferences were published in the online journal
Surfaces (University of Montreal).
