DESCRIPTION:<p>The recent publication of Husserliana XLII\,&nbsp\;<em>Die Grenzprobleme der Ph&auml\;nomenologie</em>\, in 2014 has revitalized a concern with the question of the &ldquo\;limits of experience\,&rdquo\; a question that phenomenology has been struggling with throughout its history. In discussing such phenomena as death\, birth\, deep sleep\, or dream\, Husserl elaborates a vast set of expressions intended to integrate them systematically into his phenomenology as &ldquo\;marginal problems&rdquo\; (<em>Randprobleme</em>)\, &ldquo\;higher altitude problems&rdquo\; (<em>H&ouml\;henprobleme</em>)\, &ldquo\;transition problems&rdquo\; (<em>&Uuml\;bergangsprobleme</em>). In contrast to Husserl\, it was already Eugen Fink who clearly saw that such issues actually exceed the capacities of classical phenomenology and call for methodological innovations. His plea for a &ldquo\;constructive&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;speculative&rdquo\; turn in phenomenology originates in such considerations. Similarly\, existentialist and hermeneutic philosophers working within a phenomenological tradition\, such as Jaspers or Heidegger\, recognized that aside from posing methodological difficulties for phenomenology\, phenomena in which being is confronted with the &ldquo\;possibility of its impossibility&rdquo\; (death\, anxiety) can themselves serve as a springboard for more general and penetrating insights. More recent phenomenological projects\, following and going beyond Husserl&rsquo\;s essential characterization of alienness as &ldquo\;accessibility in genuine inaccessibility\,&rdquo\; shed new light on the experiential (co-)constitution of limits in the homeworld/alienworld dynamic and place it at the center of their non-foundationalist endeavors.</p>\n<p>The present conference aims to address multifarious implications of the &ldquo\;limits of experience&rdquo\; in phenomenology. We are interested in contributions that&nbsp\;<em>thematically</em>&nbsp\;explore and expand the spectrum of limit-phenomena by tackling the limits of perception\, recollection\, experience of the other (empathy)\, bodily expressivity\, sense-making\, etc. We also welcome contributions that reflect&nbsp\;<em>systematically</em>&nbsp\;on the limits and borders of phenomenology as a discipline and on its relations to other philosophical or scientific fields and traditions. Submissions that&nbsp\;<em>methodologically</em>&nbsp\;engage with the potentialities of limits\, posing questions of phenomenological access to such phenomena or addressing the relevance of anomalies and extreme cases for a phenomenological eidetics\, are encouraged as well.</p>\n<p>We welcome contributions dealing with (but not limited to) any of the following topics:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Limits of various modalities of experience (limits of perception\, limits of phantasy\, limits of memory\, limits of image-consciousness)</li>\n<li>Limits of representation (the unimaginable\, revelation\, saturated phenomena)</li>\n<li>Limits of understanding (nonsense\, absurdity)</li>\n<li>Limits of vulnerability (violence\, pain)</li>\n<li>Limits of empathy (cruelty\, torture\, abuse)</li>\n<li>Limits of intersubjectivity (adversity\, confrontation\, alien/foreigner/stranger)</li>\n<li>Limits of sociality (radical solitude)</li>\n<li>Limits of discourse (incommunicability in speech and gesture)</li>\n<li>Limits of experience in the human-animal relation</li>\n<li>Limits of phenomenology and interdisciplinarity</li>\n<li>Limits in phenomenological method(s) and phenomenological practice (the incompleteness of reductions\, the limits of a priori research)</li>\n<li>Methodological uses for limit-phenomena</li>\n<li>Phenomenological architectonics and the systematic position of limit-problems</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Language: The conference will be held in English.</p>\n<p>Venue:&nbsp\;University of Bucharest (Rectorate Building\, Șoseaua Panduri nr. 1).</p>\n<p>Deadline for submissions:&nbsp\;April 10\, 2023.</p>\n<p>Notifications of acceptance: May 20\, 2023.</p>\n<p>Email:&nbsp\;conference2023@phenomenology.ro</p>\n<p>Registration fee:&nbsp\;60 EUR.</p>\n<p>Submission types:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Individual papers:&nbsp\;</em>Please submit an anonymized abstract of the proposed contribution (maximum&nbsp\;300 words) and a cover letter with affiliation and contact information.
