Details

This event (re-)considers findings of the workshop RE(a̸)SON(d̸)ANCE(s̸): Philosophy, Performance and the Arts that took place at the University of Lisbon in June 2024 and continues to scrutinize the notion of resonance that has gained a prominent place in contemporary thought for its plasticity in representing commonalities, interactions, and reverberations in relational ontologies. However, its heuristic potential for thinking and grounding the dynamism of “presencing absence” has yet to be fully explored. By addressing the notion of resonance from different disciplinary perspectives, this one-day online workshop aims to contribute to an ongoing dialogue in interdisciplinary research between philosophers and theorists, performers, artists, and practice-based art scholars. We especially encourage contributions from the Global South and welcome paper presentations that address the notion of resonance and/or absence in ways that foster interdisciplinary dialogues, either in a scholarly spirit, from a first-person experience or indigenous perspectives. In particular, but not limited to, those that address philosophical and theoretical contributions on moods, affective spaces, and atmospheres; reflections on the body, movement, and spatialization; memory and spectres; art and activism; and other related topics in current research advances in the visual and performative arts. It is planned to gather a selection of papers from both workshops in a co-edited collection at a major international publisher.

Interested speakers should submit a 350-word abstract and a brief biographical note (max. 100 words) to [email protected] and [email protected] with the subject “RESONANCE Workshop” by August 31st 2024. Decisions will be announced by September 13th 2024. The working language of the workshop will be English. The event has no registration or fees.
