DESCRIPTION:<p>The conference &ldquo\;Michel Foucault and Literature: History\, Life\, Politics&rdquo\; will explore Foucault&rsquo\;s relationship with literature in his newly published early works. In so doing\, it will trace a genealogy of key concepts\, namely history\, life\, and politics\, which are articulated together with the notion of literature from his first writings. Thus\, starting from Foucault&rsquo\;s texts on literary notions such as fiction\, the outside or transgression\, we propose an analysis of some of Foucault&rsquo\;s later key concepts\, such as parrhesia\, care of the self\, and truth-telling\, which belong to the genealogies which had already been traced in his works on literary notions. As a result\, the concept of literature is presented as an amalgamation of different theoretical\, historical\, political and vital strata. <br>In addition\, we welcome proposals on the relationship between Foucault and contemporary (M. Blanchot\, G. Bataille\, R. Barthes\, L. Althusser\, J. Ranci&egrave\;re\, E. Said) and earlier thinkers (F. Nietzsche\, M. Merleau-Ponty\, H. Bergson). <br>Finally\, this conference aims to re-situate Foucault&rsquo\;s concept of literature both in the history of literary ideas in the twenty-first century and in Foucault's thinking. <br>Possible topics include\, but are not restricted to:<br>-The politics of literature<br>-Foucault&rsquo\;s library: Borges\, Sade\, Nerval\, etc.<br>-Gender\, difference\, identity<br>-Subjectivation processes<br>-Archeology\, genealogy\, and philology<br>-Literature and biopolitics<br>-Biopoetics<br>-Biopolitics\, thanatopolitics\, ecopolitics<br>-Foucault in the twenty-first century<br>-Infamy\, literary fame<br>-The aesthetics of existence<br>-Foucault and romanticism<br>-Nietzsche\, Foucault\, and literature<br>-The history of truth and literary representation<br>-The literary outside and the political outside: Blanchot and Foucault<br>-Forms of thought: literary discourse and philosophical discourse <br><br>Keynote speakers: Fr&eacute\;d&eacute\;ric Gros\, Fabienne Brug&egrave\;re\, Orazio Irrera\, Philippe Sabot\, Miguel Morey\, Ariadna Sforzini\, Jos&eacute\; Luis Moreno Pesta&ntilde\;a\, Martin Mees\, Isabelle Galichon\, Judith Revel.<br>Proposals: Please email abstracts (150-200 words and 5 keywords) for 15-20-minute presentations to tespino@ugr.es and alvaro.luque@uco.es by 31 January 2024.<br>Conference languages: English\, French\, Spanish<br>Registration fee: EUR 70<br>Registration fee (non-presenting attendees): EUR 35</p>
