\nProf. Eli Alshanetsky (Philosophy\, Temple University) \;
\nThe notion of expression is used in a number of seemingly unrelated contexts and ways.Poems\, paintings and pieces of music are often said to be expressive \;of various emotions. There is expressionism \;in art and varieties of expressivism \;in philosophy. People\, as well as nonhuman animals\, are often said to be expressing \;affective states such as fear\, anger\, wants\; people are also said express attitudes\, intentions\, opinions\, even selves. Groups of individuals (a corporation\, an administration)\, too\, are said to express sentiments\, attitudes\, and intentions. In a different vein\, perhaps\, we also speak of \;sentences \;as expressing propositions\, words as expressing concepts\, and essays as expressing ideas. \;Expression \;is a notion in prevalent use\, but until recently it has received surprisingly little direct theoretical attention.
\nThe aim of &ldquo\;Kinds of Expression&rdquo\; is to generate interdisciplinary discussion on varieties or types of expression that are of interest to philosophers\, psychologists\, linguists\, and anthropologists (among others). We encourage contributions that discuss the notion of expression as it has been used in different domains. Below are some examples of potential topics (in no particular order):
\nSubmission guidelines:
\nWe invite \;abstracts &ndash\; roughly 1\,000 words\, excluding references &ndash\; of short papers\, suitable for a 30-35-min presentation\, by graduate students and postdocs. The papers should be relatively accessible to an interdisciplinary audience and avoid overly technical discussion of &lsquo\;in-house&rsquo\; issues/debates.
\nAbstracts should be prepared for blind review and include the title of the paper\; they should make clear both the topic and the main arguments of the paper. Please send a separate cover sheet with the title of the paper\, author's name\, affiliation (if any)\, and contact information.
\nAbstracts &\; cover sheets should be sent to \;Aliyar Ozercan \;(aliyar.ozercan@uconn.edu) \;by \;Dec 31 \;(midnight). Notifications of acceptance will be sent no later than \;Jan 10.
