Our socio-political present is marked by an admixture of violence&ndash\;&ndash\;some

\n

inherited\, stable structures and systems\, some transformations and renewals

\n

of old forms of violence\, and some wholly new phenomena. All of these

\n

urgently require conceptual frameworks which can make them intelligible

\n

and thus act as a step towards resistance. Movements of resistance and

\n

response to the violence of the present likewise require analysis and

\n

conceptualization. Confrontations with these myriad forms of violence

\n

provide thinkers today with vastly different access-points for conceptualizing

\n

harm. These diverse perspectives can shed light on the radically different

\n

types of violence constitutive\, characteristic\, and resultant of our social\,

\n

political\, and economic structures\, and our everyday ethical dealings.

\n

This conference is open to a wide range of topics and approaches\, including:

\n

·\; Afro-pessimism

\n

·\; Ongoing structural violence instated by colonialism\, racism\, sexism and

\n

resulting instances of physical violence

\n

·\; Trauma and reconstituting the self

\n

·\; Biopolitics and Necropolitics

\n

·\; Rhetoric of violence

\n

·\; Legitimacy of violence as an ethical response

\n

·\; Forgiveness

\n

·\; Retributive and restorative justice

\n

·\; General possibilities of ethical community
