Call for Attendance

This event addresses Alphonso Lingis’s philosophical opera and approaches it in terms of its uniqueness, peculiarity, and irreducible singularity. Lingis’s phenomenological work is genuinely fascinating because, following Deleuze, he urges his readers to discover how to speak in their own distinctive manner, to find a singular and unmistakable voice. What, then, does it mean to speak in one’s own name, and how do we accomplish that, and how do we find the courage for it? How do we cultivate such a voice?

Keynotes: Dalia Staponkutė and Joff P. N. Bradley

Invited Speakers: Martin Nitsche, Petr Kouba, Vít Pokorný, Niki Young, Enrico Schirò, Miguel Paley
