DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Conference &lsquo\;Privacy at the margins&rsquo\;</strong><br><br><strong>Location: </strong>LMU Munich<br><br><strong>Dates: </strong>11-12 June 2026<br><br><strong>Confirmed speakers </strong>(so far):</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sam Berstler (MIT)&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>Lauritz Munch (Aarhus)</li>\n</ul>\n&nbsp\;\n<p>Traditionally\, analyses of privacy start from hard cases of breach\, such as reading other people&rsquo\;s diaries and letters without permission\, wiring houses and passing on medical records\, and these are well covered\, for instance\, by the so-called control account of the right to privacy (Marmor 2015\, Menges 2024). Yet there are many actions and attitudes which are\, as it were\, on the margins of privacy\, and which either are sketchy or uncouth but not obviously wrong\, or are clearly wrong but not obviously a breach of privacy: passing on intimate information but in an anonymised way\, novelists using others&rsquo\; intimate information in writing\, gossip\, stalking\, off- or online\, gathering too much public information about a public person\, deep-fakes\, asking someone questions about their personal life\, and the list can go on. Some of these have been recently discussed by philosophers\, within or without the context of privacy. The conference thus aims to bring people together in order to discuss these in-between cases\, and many other similar ones\, and to think:</p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>To what extent are these practices wrong?</li>\n<li>If so\, is it helpful to think of them using the concept of privacy?</li>\n<li>Do we need new concepts in the ethics of information and observation that go beyond privacy in order to cover these cases?</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Abstract submission:</strong> Please send submissions to <a target="_blank">radu.bumbacea@gmail.com</a>\, including:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>an anonymised abstract attached in pdf\, docx or odt format\, of 700-1000 words (references excluded)\, for a slot of 1h15 or 1h30 (to be confirmed)\;</li>\n<li>in the email body\, your name\, affiliation\, and if you are currently a PhD student\;</li>\n<li>the subject &lsquo\;Submission to Privacy at the margins conference&rsquo\;.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Deadline</strong>: 25 March 2026<br>(We will try to evaluate the submission within a week.)<br><br><strong>Organiser</strong>: Radu Bumbăcea (LMU Munich)<br>Funding is provided by the DFG Walter Benjamin Grant 552619687.</p>
