SUMMARY:Synthese Topical Collection: Collective Attention
UID:20260309T101859Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-f5d4878dd-2g7n4
TZID:Europe/London
DESCRIPTION:<p>Attention is usually thought of as prioritization in the individual mind&mdash\;for example\, selecting an object to act on or centring something in one&rsquo\;s consciousness. But we also often talk about what collectives&mdash\;for example\, research groups\, institutions\, or entire societies&mdash\;attend to\, or neglect. One aim of this Topical Collection is to make better sense of what collective attention (the attention of a collective subject) is and how it relates to individual attention and to joint attention (individuals attending together). This is not just an interesting question in itself\; taking it up in more detail than has been done so far is also necessary in order to address the normative issues concerning collective attention&mdash\;which is another aim of the Topical Collection. The collection thus explores the nature and the norms of collective attention\, both in general and in application to specific contexts.</p>\n<p><strong>Appropriate Topics for Submission</strong> include\, among others:</p>\n<p>- What is collective attention? In what sense(s) can collectives&mdash\;for example\, research groups\, institutions\, or entire societies&mdash\;be attending subjects?</p>\n<p>- How are different accounts of individual attention&mdash\;e.g.\, as structuring consciousness into foreground and background (Sebastian Watzl) or as selection for action (Wayne Wu)&mdash\;applicable to collective attention?</p>\n<p>- How is collective attention different from joint attention? Or is collective attention just (a form of) joint attention?</p>\n<p>- How are the different existing approaches to collective mental phenomena (e.g.\, collective belief\, intention\, or emotion) applicable to collective attention?</p>\n<p>- How is collective attention relevant\, for example\, in social epistemology\, metaphilosophy\, or philosophy of science?</p>\n<p>- Are there norms or virtues of collective attention and how do these relate to the norms or virtues of individual attention?</p>\n<p>- How can collective attention be problematic?</p>\n<p>- How can collective attention be engineered&mdash\;controlled and improved?</p>\n<p>For further information\, please contact the <strong>guest editors</strong>:</p>\n<p>Eve Kitsik (ekitsik@gmail.com\; eve.kitsik@univie.ac.at)</p>\n<p>Katharine Browne (k.n.w.browne@ifikk.uio.no)</p>\n<p>Sebastian Watzl (sebastian.watzl@ifikk.uio.no)</p>\n<p><strong>Submissions via</strong>: https://www.editorialmanager.com/synt/default.aspx (select the topical collection "Collective Attention" from the drop-down menu).</p>
