Dans cette optique\, nous cherchons à\; mettre en place un rendez-vous ré\;gulier pour en discuter les diffé\;rents interpré\;tations et aspects.
\nDu fait de l&rsquo\;é\;tendue de la francophonie\, ces sé\;minaires auront lieu en ligne. Leur principe sera le suivant : les participant-e-s auront tous et toutes pré\;alablement lu un article ou un chapitre ré\;cent\, lequel sera pré\;senté\; trè\;s rapidement par souci de prioriser les é\;changes (10 minutes) par son autrice ou auteur. À\; partir de celui-ci\, un-e membre du ré\;seau ouvrira (5 min) à\; un dé\;bat plus large afin de discuter\, outre l&rsquo\;article\, les diffé\;rents interpré\;tations et aspects de l&rsquo\;&oelig\;uvre d&rsquo\;Arendt (1h30).
\nProgramme 2026\nEn 2026\, nous proposons quatre sé\;ances ordinaires du sé\;minaire et une sé\;ance spé\;ciale : «\; Arendt et la science é\;conomique »\;\, «\; Arendt et le travail »\;\, «\; Liberté\;\, volonté\;\, politique »\;\, «\; Arendt et la violence »\;\, «\; Philosophie\, é\;ducation et politique »\;.
\nLe sé\;minaire est ouvert à\; toutes et tous sans inscription pré\;alable \; n&rsquo\;hé\;sitez pas à\; venir y assister et y participer. Les articles et textes discuté\;s sont disponibles sur le site du RAF. N&rsquo\;hé\;sitez pas non plus à\; nous contacter pour toute demande d&rsquo\;information complé\;mentaire.
\nLe RAF ?\nLe Ré\;seau Arendtien Francophone (RAF) se veut un espace divers et pluriel\, rassemblant une communauté\; de doctorant-e-s\, enseignant-e-s\, chercheurs/ses\, intellectuel-le-s et toute personne inté\;ressé\;e ou engagé\;e dans l'é\;tude et la diffusion de la pensé\;e d'Hannah Arendt en France et le monde francophone. À\; travers cette plateforme\, nous souhaitons favoriser les é\;changes intellectuels\, offrir une visibilité\; accrue aux travaux de recherche et cré\;er des liens solides entre francophones s'inté\;ressant à\; et puisant dans l'&oelig\;uvre de cette autrice majeure du XXe siè\;cle.
\nOutre l&rsquo\;organisation de ce sé\;minaire et d'é\;vè\;nements acadé\;miques lié\;s à\; la pensé\;e d'Arendt\, le ré\;seau actualise continuellement un site web qui met à\; disposition : une bibliographie des textes de langue franç\;aise consacré\;s à\; Arendt ou la mobilisant\, un annuaire des membres du ré\;seau\, un agenda des activité\;s francophones qui lui sont dé\;dié\;es et une lettre d'information mensuelle.

For example\, presentations might discuss (but are not limited to): the epistemology of inquiry\, the metaphysics of inquiry\, ethical norms of inquiry\, historical perspectives on inquiry\, or the structure of scientific inquiry.
We aim to foster the sharing of ideas in an inclusive\, welcoming and low-pressure environment. Papers that are already accepted for publication will not be accepted. We aim to be sensitive to the needs of early-career scholars.
The group meets biweekly on Zoom during each of the Fall and Spring semesters. Meeting times are determined shortly before the beginning of each semester with the goal of finding a time that works for as many members as possible. Special consideration is given to finding a meeting time that works for presenters of accepted papers.
Applications are open for Foundations and Frontiers of Analytical Sociology\, a doctoral-level course hosted by Institute for Analytical Sociology\, Linkö\;ping University. The course is organized around an international lecture series featuring many of the scholars who have shaped analytical sociology and continue to define its contemporary development.
\nConfirmed speakers include:
\nPeter Bearman\, Delia Baldassarri\, Elizabeth Bruch\, Damon Centola\, Diego Gambetta\, Peter Hedströ\;m\, Gianluca Manzo\, Michael Macy\, Arnout van de Rijt\, Duncan Watts\, and Petri Ylikoski.
\nThe course explores central questions concerning social mechanisms\, explanation\, social interaction\, networks\, diffusion\, collective action\, computational social science\, and the relationship between theory and empirical research. Particular attention is devoted to the role of mechanism-based explanations in the social sciences and to philosophical questions concerning explanation\, causation\, and social scientific inquiry.
\nThe lecture series is accompanied by readings and highly participatory seminars in which participants critically discuss the lectures\, the assigned literature\, and connections to their own research. The course culminates in an individual paper in which participants develop an independent analysis of a research question using the theories\, concepts\, and explanatory models discussed throughout the course. Participants are encouraged to connect this assignment directly to their doctoral projects.
\nThe course is open to doctoral students and researchers from sociology\, philosophy\, political science\, economics\, computational social science\, and related disciplines.

From September 7th-9th\, 2026\, the Institute of Global Value Inquiry will hold its second annual conference in Wa\, Ghana\; the theme is Indigenous Values and Social Change. Over forty leading scholars from various countries and disciplines will gather to discuss how indigenous values and philosophies can endure as a transformative force\, despite being undermined by rapid globalization and the afterlife of colonialism. The panels and presentations will address the effects of technological\, environmental\, political\, and other changes on indigenous values and practices in the Global South\, and the latter&rsquo\;s capacity to drive social development in a positive direction. Specific attention will focus on how African feminist thought and activism might draw on indigeneity as a means of contesting patriarchal domination. The keynote speakers include Prof. Oyè\;ró\;nké\; Oyěwù\;mí\;\, Prof. Sylvia Bawa\, and Prof. David Millar.

The second Bodies in Digital Transition (BDT) edition traverses the materiality of the mechanical body itself: what embodied gestures and rhythms animate its operations? What moves beneath its surface? What kind of being emerges in the loops of its code? From the lures of the aesthetic surface to the recursive depths of its algorithmic core\, this year BTD aims to dissect the machine&rsquo\;s anatomy across several strata that form a speculative topology of the machinic body\; a descent through appearance\, mechanism\, and ontology toward the thresholds where technology ceases to represent and begins to be. In mapping out the systems of embodiment inhabited by digital beings\, we also open up inquiry into how human agents author\, come into contact with\, and transform machine bodies. There is neither &ldquo\;the technology itself&rdquo\; nor &ldquo\;the aesthetics itself&rdquo\; but rather a method of design in which the two are mutually implicated. To resist interior&ndash\;exterior divides open inquiries of how human agents encounter and transform machinic bodies through the intra-active practice of design.
\nDigital bodies condition human expression and are conditioned by cultural inflections at each strata. The plural and distributed materialities of digital systems span beyond physical objects\, but encompass code\, electromagnetic waves\, and sensory outputs in complex and multiple communicating layers. How does the agency act as this morphing web?
\nFollowing a post-human stance\, neither digital nor human cognition is assumed to be contained within an algorithmic nucleus. Instead\, it is conceived as emerging through relations across each stratum\, whose analytical isolation is not intended to fix ontologies\, but to map a topology of multiple\, non-linear processes through which agencies coalesce.
\nTo move beyond the limits of this configuration and to encourage crossing of boundaries\, we invite trans-disciplinary experimental and highly speculative inquiry and action into the machinic as event\, intra-action\, and formation of being.

Workshop &ldquo\;The Good Life: Well-being and Meaningfulness&rdquo\;
\nMost people want their lives to go well. They also want their lives to be meaningful. While well-being and meaningfulness have both received extensive attention in the philosophical literature\, the relationship between them remains underexplored. This workshop will explore the concepts of well-being\, meaningfulness\, and their relationship\, discussing questions such as: Is a meaningful life always high in well-being\, and vice versa? Does the nature of meaningfulness depend on the nature of well-being? And does a good life require both well-being and meaningfulness?

\n10&ndash\;11 September 2026
Husserl Archives\, University of Cologne
Kerpener Str. 30\, 50937 Cologne\, Germany
Phenomenology has often presented itself as a method capable of freeing thought from unexamined assumptions. Yet critical\, political\, and Marxist phenomenologies have shown that experience is always situated within historical\, social\, and political horizons. At the same time\, phenomenology has itself been criticized for obscuring the socio-historical mediations that constitute subjectivity.
\nThe workshop explores this tension by asking whether phenomenology can serve as a method of ideology critique\, where the limits of such a critique lie\, and to what extent phenomenology may itself become implicated in ideological formations. The contributions address gender ideology\, social imaginaries\, reification\, political belonging\, war\, science\, and the relationship between phenomenology and Marxism.

[A} great deal of the conceptual history of biology may be read as a struggle between two philosophical positions: reductionism and holism&rdquo\; (Piggliuci 2014). This enduring tension has fueled deep disagreement about the nature and study of life. In twentieth-century biology\, the organicist tradition sought to resolve this tension by seeking a &ldquo\;third-way&rdquo\; that rejects the reductionist assumption that life can be analyzed exhaustively in physico-chemical terms while\, at the same time\, rejecting dubious appeals to immaterial vital forces to explain the behavior of whole living systems.
\nIn contemporary philosophy of biology\, a prominent manifestation of the holist tradition is the Theory of Biological Autonomy (TBA) which explains the causal structure of a whole living organism in terms of constraints and energetic processes. A prominent manifestation of the reductionist tradition\, on the other hand\, is New Mechanism (NM) which\, traditionally\, analyzes the causal structure of biological mechanisms in terms of entities\, activities\, and organization.
\nRecently\, however\, a number of philosophers have been developing an updated New Mechanist analysis of biological mechanisms that construes them as consisting of constraints and energetic processes . As philosophers have pointed out\, this conceptual overlap between the ToBA and NM offers opportunities for theoretical synthesis and\, more ambitiously\, the possibility of establishing a novel &ldquo\;third way&rdquo\; to resolve the conflicting holist and reductionist tendencies running through the history of biology.
\nThe goal of this workshop is to bring together an interdisciplinary group of philosophers\, biologists\, and historians to foster dialogue across theoretical traditions to develop the ToBA-NM synthesis and critically assess it from historical and social scientific perspectives on the wider interacting histories of reductionism and holism in biology.
\nThus\, while the proposed synthesis of ToBA and NM will thematize discussion\, the workshop hopes to encourage wider interdisciplinary reflection on historical and contemporary theoretical and empirical practice in the life sciences. We aim to: 1) Clarify the conceptual and methodological relationship between ToBA and the updated NM framework. 2) consider a) their theoretical and historical relationship to other forms of reductionism and holism and b) evaluate the prospects for the synthesis of TBA and NM succeeding as a &ldquo\;third way&rdquo\; by the lights of the wider organicist tradition. 3) Draw upon insights derived from recent inter-disciplinary efforts between philosophers in the autonomy tradition and various scientists seeking to apply the theory of autonomy in empirical investigation of biological systems at different levels of organization (e.g. ecosystems\, eusocial insects\, organismal\, neuro\, biophysical\, physico-chemical). 4) Reflect on the broader implications of the proposed synthesis for ongoing debates about explanation and organization in the life sciences.
\nA small amount of money will be available to off-set student travel costs.
\nWe aim for the workshop to be a "works in progress" event\, giving early career scholars and scientists the opportunity to share their developing ideas in small informal "break out" groups to get feedback. We ask potential attendees to submit a short 500-750 word abstract to Andrew Bollhagen (aabollhagen@ucdavis.edu) and Sebastian Sander Oest (s.s.oest@ifikk.uio.no). \;

Scholarship on \;epistemic injustice \;(Hall 2017\; Wesp et al. 2019) and \;situated knowledges \;(Haraway 1988) shows how these exclusions are embedded in the very processes through which knowledge is produced and legitimised. Insights from gender/sex pluralism (Monro 2005\; 2019\; Preciado 2013) further highlight how institutional systems struggle to \;accommodate the complexity of lived identities \;within and beyond binary frameworks. Transformative inclusion within healthcare settings therefore requires more than updated curricula or revised clinical guidelines: it calls for new methodological imagination (see e.g. Pendleton &\; Pezaro 2025).
\nThis year&rsquo\;s TransCare conference invites \;scholars\, practitioners\, educators\, and community researchers \;to explore how \;creative\, interdisciplinary\, and humanities‑driven methodologies \;can reshape the production of knowledge in healthcare. Building on the 2024 edition&rsquo\;s focus on educational tools\, TransCare turns its attention to the research practices that make such tools possible. We ask how \;arts‑based\, participatory\, speculative\, and community‑led approaches \;can open pedagogical and methodological pathways that affirm gender diversity\, challenge normative assumptions\, and cultivate critical and trans‑affirming pedagogies and research.
\nTo do so\, we aim to foreground methodology not as a technical procedure but as a site where \;knowledge\, care\, and power intersect. Approaches that centre \;lived experience\, relationality\, and reflexivity \;can unsettle dominant epistemic frames and generate new possibilities for teaching and practice. Attending to the \;affective and embodied dimensions of research \;and care (Malatino 2020\; 2022) further highlights the need for methodologies that recognise and value ways of knowing and dealing with trans and intersex communities\, particularly in challenging social and political settings.
\nThe 2026 edition continues TransCare&rsquo\;s commitment to interdisciplinary exchange by emphasising methodology as a site of care\, ethics\, and transformation (Puig de la Bellacasa 2017). \;We welcome contributions that rethink how education and research are designed\, conducted\, interpreted\, and taught\, and that imagine new infrastructures for trans\, gender-diverse\, and intersex&ndash\;inclusive healthcare education.
\n\;
\nScope of Contributions
\nWe welcome contributions from across disciplines\, sectors\, and methodological traditions. Submissions may address\, but are \;not limited \;to\, the following areas:
\nWe particularly encourage submissions that experiment with form\, challenge disciplinary boundaries\, or propose new infrastructures for trans\, gender‑diverse\, and intersex&ndash\;inclusive healthcare research and education. However\, please do not be intimidated: \;all approaches and levels of experimentation are welcome.
\n\;
\nPublication Opportunity
\nWe are also collecting expressions of interest for a \;collected volume on creative\, interdisciplinary\, and humanities‑driven methodologies for trans\, gender‑diverse\, and intersex&ndash\;inclusive healthcare research and education.
\nIf you wish to be considered for inclusion in this edited collection\, \;please indicate this when submitting your abstract by ticking the box in the form. \;

\nThe "Foundations" Conference is The Forum's dedicated space for early‑career researchers exploring the rich\, complex intersections between scientific inquiry and religious thought. This event provides an intellectually supportive environment where emerging scholars can develop foundational skills\, exchange ideas\, and engage critically with the theoretical and practical dimensions of the field. This conference explores the dynamic and sometimes contested borders between scientific understanding and religious interpretation\, asking how these two influential domains shape&mdash\; and are shaped by&mdash\; one another in contemporary thought and practice.
\nAs scientific knowledge expands and religious traditions continue to evolve\, questions emerge about where boundaries should be drawn\, how they shift\, and what happens when they overlap. This conference examines these issues through interdisciplinary lenses\, bringing together voices from theology\, philosophy\, history\, the natural and social sciences\, and professional practice. By focusing on the boundaries of theory and practice\, this event aims not only to map the current landscape of science and religion studies but also to empower the next generation of scholars to shape its future.

It has been said that theorists tend to focus on history as a cultural product &ndash\; one among many other ways in which people in the present relate to the past\, both theirs and of others &ndash\;\, while philosophers tend to focus on the epistemology of what historians (actually or should) do\; or that theorists tend to be closer to &ldquo\;continental&rdquo\; philosophy\, social theory\, and literary theory\, while philosophers tend to be closer mainstream &ldquo\;analytic&rdquo\; philosophy. However\, these distinctions themselves are also quite contested. In fact\, there is little agreement on what &ldquo\;theory of history&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;philosophy of history&rdquo\; individually are\, how they differ\, and how they relate to one another.
\nDespite these problems with definitions\, researchers who share an interest in the theoretical problems that our relations to the human past entail have managed to gather around certain journals\, conferences\, and networks\, suggesting that some sort of connection may be found. Thus\, the argument appeared that &ldquo\;theory and philosophy of history&rdquo\; is more like an interdisciplinary space where scholars from different fields can discuss a common set of objects from their respective perspectives. However\, the details of what perspectives are those and what methodological or conceptual commitments they carry remain unknown. It is also not entirely clear what exactly the connecting thread is that makes such interdisciplinary dialogue possible.
\nThis virtual workshop aims to discuss the methodological challenges and metaphilosophical commitments of different approaches to the theory and philosophy of history as currently (and broadly) envisioned. As such\, we invite proposals for papers that clarify what these approaches consider to be the field&rsquo\;s proper objects\, aims\, and methods\, as well as the basic presuppositions that make such considerations possible. Accordingly\, proposals may deal with questions that include\, among others\, the following:

Anaximander&rsquo\;s fragment has been interpreted in various different ways. The young Nietzsche reads in it a &ldquo\;pessimism&rdquo\; comparable to that of Schopenhauer\, whereas Heidegger\, in his 1946 lecture series &ldquo\;The Anaximander Fragment\,&rdquo\; criticizes Nietzsche for projecting a moralistic sentiment onto the early Pre-Socratic. Anaximander&rsquo\;s fragment\, argues Heidegger\, is &ldquo\;neither pessimistic nor nihilistic\; nor is it optimistic. It is tragic.&rdquo\;
Although Heidegger&rsquo\;s critique is probably correct\, it is symptomatic of a more general critique against Nietzsche. In the chapter &ldquo\;The Concept of &lsquo\;Chaos&rsquo\;&rdquo\; in his great book on Nietzsche\, Heidegger asserts that Nietzsche&rsquo\;s conception of chaos is far off from the &ldquo\;original Greek meaning&rdquo\; of a yawning abyss as found in Hesiod. Nietzsche\, however\, seems way more interested in the pluralistic &ldquo\;Anaxagorian chaos\,&rdquo\; which he contrasts with the apeiron of Anaximander. Not to mention their shared interest in Heraclitus&mdash\;could not Heidegger&rsquo\;s defense of Anaximander in the first place be a hint at his perennial critique of Nietzsche&rsquo\;s &ldquo\;modern&rdquo\; thinking? And could not Nietzsche&rsquo\;s preference for Anaxagoras point at a wholly different picture\, where chaos can be freed of its &ldquo\;original Greek meaning&rdquo\;&mdash\;quite ironically\, already in the Pre-Socratics?
In this seminar\, we turn to the Greek origins of the term &lsquo\;chaos\,&rsquo\; contrasting an &ldquo\;abyssal&rdquo\; with a more creative reading. No prior knowledge is required. All key texts will be provided on registration.

FACILITATOR
Having lived and studied all around the world\, Hannes Schumacher works at the threshold between philosophy and art. He has carried out intensive research on Hegel and Deleuze\, and he has also published widely on Nishida\, Nāgārjuna\, chaos theory\, global mysticism\, and contemporary art. Hannes is the founder of the Berlin-based publisher Freigeist Verlag\, co-founder of the grassroots art space Chaosmos &infin\; in Athens\, Greece\, and he collaborates extensively with the literary translator Peter Constantine and World Poetry Books\, New York. He has facilitated the following courses and groups at Incite Seminars: &ldquo\;Nishida Kitarō: The Logic of Place and the Religious Worldview&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;Who&rsquo\;s Afraid of Hegel: Introduction to G. W. F. Hegel&rsquo\;s Science of Logic&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;Chaos Research Group&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;Reading After Finitude by Quentin Meillassoux&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;Deleuze &\; Guattari: What is Philosophy?&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;Plato&rsquo\;s chô\;ra through the lens of Derrida&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;Anarchia and Archai: Reimagining the Pre-Socratics&rdquo\; (with Carlos A. Segovia)\; &ldquo\;Reading Nietzsche&rsquo\;s Zarathustra&rdquo\; (current)\; &ldquo\;Liana of the Resurrected&rdquo\;\; &ldquo\;The Body without Organs&rdquo\;\; and &ldquo\;Introduction to Chaos Theory.&rdquo\;
INCITE SEMINARS
We are a mix of rogue scholars\, disgruntled academics\, disenchanted buddhists\, enchantment-hungry anarchists\, radical therapists\, and general weirdos looking to create autonomous and accessible forms of &ldquo\;higher education.&rdquo\;
We offer online seminars and reading groups to incite personal exploration and inspire community action. Incite Seminars offers an educational experience. We do so by gathering an engaged group of participants for a dynamic exchange of ideas\, led by skilled facilitators. All of our facilitators have a deep relationship to a subject or topic through intensive study or practice.
Incite Seminars is a 100% member-supported learning community. We depend on member contributions to continue holding space for radical study and practice groups\, putting on rigorous seminars and courses\, and providing our facilitators and organizers with fair compensation. If you are unable to pay the full amount for a session or membership at this time\, we invite you to join us at reduced or no cost with our Solidarity option.
When we look at current research across the natural and social sciences dealing with explanations of phenomena in their respective fields\, the word &lsquo\;explanation&rsquo\; is often modified with an adjective: causal\, non-causal\, mechanistic\, nomological/law-based\, topological\, mathematical\, and narrative are some of the non-mutually-exclusive modifiers that one may encounter. It is generally accepted that fields such as physics rely more on laws for their explanatory practices than disciplines such as cell biology\, which are\, for the most part\, concerned with mechanistic explanations\, for example. In the philosophy of science\, particularly since the advent of the New Mechanism literature in the 1990s\, barring some exceptions\, there has been relatively little sustained work on the pragmatic side of law-based explanations as opposed to other explanatory modalities\, and the interest that law-based explanations have garnered has mostly focused on the metaphysics of laws. This workshop aims to bring the philosophy of law-based explanations\, with particular attention to their pragmatic dimensions\, back into focus. Moreover\, while being historically informed\, the hope is to discuss new directions within this strand of the philosophy of explanation. Some questions for consideration could include (in no particular order):

\nSeptember 14\, 2026 9a-5p (EDT = UTC-4)
\nVirtual (on Zoom)
\nHosted by the University of Pittsburgh
\nDiagnosis is central to the practice of medicine\, yet it raises questions that medicine alone cannot answer. What is a diagnosis? What and who is it for? How do we deal with uncertainty about diagnosis and responsibility for it? As artificial intelligence reshapes how diagnoses are reached and what clinical reasoning is\, these questions have become increasingly urgent. This virtual workshop brings together philosophers\, clinicians\, and researchers to examine diagnosis in a series of talks\, starting with core questions about what diagnosis is and should be and what technological developments mean for its future.

\nBeatrice Serini \;
Abstract: \;Where do we eat? Restaurants\, café\;s\, kitchens and dining rooms may seem like obvious answers\, but eating also takes place in parks\, streets\, markets\, workplaces\, public squares\, gardens\, vehicles and many other spaces. Despite their ubiquity\, the spaces in which food is consumed have received comparatively little systematic philosophical attention.
\nThis talk introduces Gastrospaces\, a research project developed at the intersection of analytic philosophy\, political philosophy and social ontology. The concept gastrospace provides a common analytical category for examining the diverse spaces in which eating takes place and for asking what makes these spaces socially\, politically and culturally significant. \; The project investigates how material arrangements\, social norms\, human and non-human agents\, and patterns of use interact to shape what can happen in a gastrospace and who can participate in it\, asking how apparently ordinary arrangements of food and space can enable inclusion\, exclusion\, discrimination\, conviviality\, distinction or care.
\nThe talk will first present the ontological framework and its main components\, and then provide an overview of the kinds of questions that the framework can help address. It will conclude by considering how this framework can be extended beyond philosophy\, particularly in food studies\, geography\, urban planning\, design and policy.
\nBio: \;Beatrice Serini\, PhD\, is an independent researcher and co-coordinator of Culinary Mind (International Centre for the Philosophy of Food). Her work explores the normative and conceptual dimensions of food and food systems\, with a particular interest in intersections between food\, health\, and technology\, as well as the cultural politics and ontology of the places where we eat.

The American experiment in self-government faces a triple challenge. In The Fragility of Order\, George Weigel recounts America&rsquo\;s major twentieth-century challenges whose successes have come into question. Weigel argues that order is a &ldquo\;fragile thing\,&rdquo\; and needs continual renewal\, specially in a postmodern cultural context unsure about the truth of anything. Order rapidly unraveled in the United States on three levels: moral\, cultural\, and political. Skepticism and relativism of the moral order found expression in nihilism and subjectivism in both popular and high culture\, which translated also into increased partisanship in the political order. The question arises how to restore the American Founders&rsquo\; ideal of a government that invoked &ldquo\;the Laws of Nature and of Nature&rsquo\;s God&rdquo\; that set up a constitutional framework with checks and balances to circumscribe the exercise of political power\, and secure &ldquo\;life\, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.&rdquo\; If this &ldquo\;One nation under God\, with liberty and justice for all&rdquo\; is to endure\, then its Judeo-Christian cultural roots need to be rediscovered to nurture individuals\, families\, and communities\, reaffirming America&rsquo\;s promise of equality of opportunity\, in contrast to quasi-Marxist &ldquo\;equity&rdquo\; as leveling egalitarianism or &ldquo\;equal outcomes\,&rdquo\; a democratic temptation that Alexis de Tocqueville warned against in his Democracy in America. The neo-Freudian obsession with sex and its perversions needs to yield to the imago Dei vision of human dignity (Gen 1:27)\; the un-American emphasis on race and gender in education and public policy (affirmative action/DEI) replaced by merit as the best criterion for gauging individual effort\; while politics need the leaven of respect for all. In brief\, can America find its soul and redeem the American Dream? JIS Symposium 2026 endeavors to bring together scholars from a wide range of disciplines and denominations for an exciting international conference which takes both scholarship and faith seriously. Keynote: Dawn Lewis Sutherland (Liberty University): "Democracy After Datafication: Personhood and the Renewal of Ordered Liberty."

\nTitle: A Gravitomagnetic Bootstrap: localizing rotational and conformal structure in Newtonian gravity as a path to general relativity
\nAbstract:
\nHistorically Newtonian gravity was understood in terms of long-range forces imposed on an absolute spacetime background\, we now know it can be better understood as a localization of inertial structure - or at least of that part which distinguishes inertial motion from rectilinear acceleration. That perspective suggests a natural generalization: what if we also localize other aspects of inertial structure\, like rotation and scale\, and make them depend on matter dynamically? The resultant theory is uniquely determined up to an overall constant with the dimensions of velocity. It fails to be Galilean covariant\; investigating this failure allows one to 'bootstrap' up to (local) Lorentz covariance in a manner closely analogous to the bootstrap from magnetostatics to Maxwell's theory and special relativity. The resultant theory is equivalent to the first post-Newtonian approximation to general relativity.

He presents and assesses three versions of the idea of the multiverse: one from philosophy and two from physics. He explores: the ideas of logically possible worlds\, the branches of the quantum state (in the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics)\, and the bubbles of inflationary cosmology. For each idea\, he selects one philosophical question to explore in depth. They are\, respectively: what is a possible world\, what is chance\, and what is explanation?
\nOn Sep 16 2026\, 18.00 CEST\, we'll host a virtual book launch in which Jeremy Butterfield will present his book in conversation with Al Wilson (Leeds) and Richard Dawid (Stockholm).

\nRobust Strength of Will
\nDate and time: Thursday 17 September 2026\, 18:00&ndash\;19:30 UK/Ireland time
\nWeakness of will\, understood as free and intentional action against one&rsquo\;s best judgment or resolution\, is typically taken to be a paradigm example of irrational behavior. There is widespread agreement that strength of will\, in contrast\, is a desirable\, normatively binding feature of our agency. But what exactly is strength of will? How does it work\, and why should we exercise it? In this talk\, I provide a phenomenological account of strength of will. I first briefly outline one popular and attractive theory\; despite its plausibility\, I argue\, it delivers an insufficiently precise account of the normative pressures associated with strength of will. I then leverage two Husserl-inspired notions &mdash\; &lsquo\;position-taking&rsquo\; and the &lsquo\;I can&rsquo\; &mdash\; and flesh out a phenomenologically more faithful account which\, I suggest\, captures the normative mechanisms underwriting strength of will.

\nConference online
\nTo remember \; sometimes means to experience again. That is the case of trauma. However\, recovery from trauma is also based on memory. The question\, then\, is not how to forget painful memories\, but how to remember without suffering.
During this conference we would like to concentrate on the phenomena of trauma and recovery\, to look at how memory is involved in the traumatic experience and the recovery process and explore\, among other questions\, what we remember and forget\, what causes suffering and how to deal with it.
We are interested in all aspects of traumatic experiences\, in their individual and collective dimensions\, in the past and in the present-day world. We would like to examine the role of memory in both falling into trauma and overcoming it. Thus\, we want to describe the phenomena of trauma and recovery in their multifarious manifestations: psychological\, social\, historical\, cultural\, philosophical\, religious\, economic\, political\, and many others. As usual\, we also want to devote considerable attention to how these phenomena appear in artistic practices: literature\, film\, theatre or visual arts. That is why we invite researchers representing various academic disciplines: anthropology\, history\, psychiatry\, psychology\, psychoanalysis\, sociology\, politics\, philosophy\, economics\, law\, literary studies\, theatre studies\, film studies\, memory studies\, migration studies\, consciousness studies\, dream studies\, gender studies\, postcolonial studies\, medical sciences\, cognitive sciences\, and urban studies and others.
Different forms of presentations are encouraged\, including case studies\, theoretical inqueries\, problem-oriented arguments or comparative analyses.
We will be happy to hear from both experienced scholars and young academics at the start of their careers\, as well as doctoral and graduate students. We also invite all persons interested in participating in the conference as listeners\, without giving a presentation.
The topics for the conference include but are not limited to the following suggestions:
I. Individual experiences

\nConference online
\nTo remember \; sometimes means to experience again. That is the case of trauma. However\, recovery from trauma is also based on memory. The question\, then\, is not how to forget painful memories\, but how to remember without suffering.
During this conference we would like to concentrate on the phenomena of trauma and recovery\, to look at how memory is involved in the traumatic experience and the recovery process and explore\, among other questions\, what we remember and forget\, what causes suffering and how to deal with it.
We are interested in all aspects of traumatic experiences\, in their individual and collective dimensions\, in the past and in the present-day world. We would like to examine the role of memory in both falling into trauma and overcoming it. Thus\, we want to describe the phenomena of trauma and recovery in their multifarious manifestations: psychological\, social\, historical\, cultural\, philosophical\, religious\, economic\, political\, and many others. As usual\, we also want to devote considerable attention to how these phenomena appear in artistic practices: literature\, film\, theatre or visual arts. That is why we invite researchers representing various academic disciplines: anthropology\, history\, psychiatry\, psychology\, psychoanalysis\, sociology\, politics\, philosophy\, economics\, law\, literary studies\, theatre studies\, film studies\, memory studies\, migration studies\, consciousness studies\, dream studies\, gender studies\, postcolonial studies\, medical sciences\, cognitive sciences\, and urban studies and others.
Different forms of presentations are encouraged\, including case studies\, theoretical inqueries\, problem-oriented arguments or comparative analyses.
We will be happy to hear from both experienced scholars and young academics at the start of their careers\, as well as doctoral and graduate students. We also invite all persons interested in participating in the conference as listeners\, without giving a presentation.

Fonds Ricœur Monthly Seminar (ENS\, Paris) UID:20260909T152947Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6cf9979bf7-2k8pg TZID:Europe/Paris LOCATION:École Normale Supérieure\, 45 rue d'Ulm\, Paris\, France\, 75005 DESCRIPTION:Presentation of the Seminar
\nThe seminar "Actualité\;s de Ric&oelig\;ur" ("Ric&oelig\;ur Studies Today") aims to offer a space for discussion and development for early-career research on Ric&oelig\;ur. Hosted at the É\;cole Normale Supé\;rieure for the 2026&ndash\;2027 academic year\, it welcomes proposals from doctoral students\, postdoctoral researchers\, and early-career scholars who wish to explore\, extend\, or put to the test the resources of Paul Ric&oelig\;ur's philosophy.
\nThe first edition of this seminar is entitled "Ric&oelig\;ur\, Dead or Alive?" &mdash\; a deliberately ambiguous formulation\, one that invites us to question both the internal vitality of his &oelig\;uvre and its capacity to nourish the philosophical\, ethical\, and political debates of today.
\nIs Ric&oelig\;ur's hermeneutic phenomenology not defined\, in essence\, by its defense of &mdash\; and\, as it were\, its "vow" (v&oelig\;u) in favor of &mdash\; life\, the living\, and the lively? But is he still a living interlocutor\, or has his thought sedimented into heritage?
\nThe seminar will follow this format: two speakers per two-hour session\, with 30 minutes of presentation and 30 minutes of discussion for each speaker.
\nFor paper proposals\, we welcome submissions engaging with three thematic axes.
\nAxis I. Life as Resistance &ndash\; Language\, Time\, and Action
\nHow does life affirm\, narrate\, and configure itself in the face of what negates it? Ric&oelig\;ur's hermeneutic phenomenology is traversed by a fundamental tension between the power to act and the multiple forms of its hindrance. Confronted with evil\, forgetting\, or indeed death\, Ric&oelig\;ur explores the diverse forms of resistance at work within life &mdash\; metaphors\, narratives\, memories\, history. These resistances\, as actions\, possess an intrinsic logic and continue to create the meaning of life.
\nSuggested Lines of Approach
\n1. Language as resistance: How does the "living metaphor" (The Rule of Metaphor\, 1975) constitute a form of resistance to the "entropy of language\," which freezes meaning? In what sense is semantic innovation a vital act\, a "revival"?
\n2. Narrative as resistance: In Time and Narrative (1983&ndash\;1985)\, emplotment is presented as a provisional victory over temporal discordance. How are we to think this victory in the face of the radicality of Heideggerian "being-towards-death"?
\n3. Memory as resistance: Memory\, History\, Forgetting (2000) distinguishes between forgetting kept in reserve and forgetting through effacement. In what way does this distinction commit us to an ethics of memory as a form of fidelity to life?
\nAxis II. A Life of One's Own &ndash\; Selfhood\, Vulnerability\, Ethicity
\nHow might vulnerability\, far from being a limit of subjectivity\, be its very condition of ethical possibility? Ric&oelig\;ur's hermeneutics of the self is built upon the recognition of a constitutive fragility: narrative identity is always exposed to rupture\, to suffering\, to undergoing the action of the other &mdash\; the other inscribing at the very heart of the self. This axis proposes to deepen reflection on the relation between the self and the other\, and to explore the modes by which a "good life" may be accomplished\, starting from the concrete ordeals of vulnerability: trauma\, the quest for mutual recognition\, and the precariousness of existence.
\nSuggested Lines of Approach
\n4. The ordeal of narrative identity: Oneself as Another (1990) articulates idem-identity and ipse-identity around the self-constancy under trial. What becomes of this articulation when the trial is that of identity's collapse &mdash\; serious illness\, exile\, trauma? Ric&oelig\;ur's hermeneutics of narrative identity also resonates with debates on the performativity of identity and with gender studies (Butler).
\n5. The reciprocity of recognition: In The Course of Recognition (2004)\, Ric&oelig\;ur moves from self-recognition to mutual recognition. How might this course enter into dialogue with contemporary theories of vulnerability (Weil\, Levinas) or of care?
\n6. The ethical life: The "ethical aim" defined in the "ethical studies" (Oneself as Another\, Studies 5-7) seeks to realize a "good life." Does this notion remain operative in the face of situations of thwarted life\, precarity\, or desubjectivation?
\nAxis III. Ric&oelig\;ur&rsquo\;s Survival &ndash\; Present Legacies
\nRic&oelig\;ur maintained a singular relationship with his own era\, marked as much by fruitful resonances as by sharp conflicts. This axis seeks to interrogate the philosophical actuality of these past debates: what extensions\, what corrections\, and what ruptures does Ric&oelig\;urian thought call for today? Proposals will place Ric&oelig\;ur's texts in critical dialogue with contemporary problematics\, without confining themselves to historical reconstruction.
\nSuggested Lines of Approach
\n7. Radical alterity in phenomenology: Ric&oelig\;ur engaged in a twofold critical dialogue with Derridean deconstruction and Levinasian ethics &mdash\; two distinct contestations of the autonomy of the self\, the one through the play of language\, the other through the ethical injunction of the face. How do these confrontations\, taken together\, illuminate the limits and the resources of the hermeneutics of the self in the face of the contemporary challenges of hospitality\, communication\, and responsibility?
\n8. Philosophical anthropology: Is the human being\, understood as the "capable human being" (From Text to Action\, 1986)\, in a position to accommodate new forms of agency &mdash\; collective\, distributed\, digital &mdash\; or do its anthropological presuppositions constrain it? In this regard\, Ric&oelig\;urian philosophy could enter into fruitful dialogue with the theories of Stiegler (tertiary retention) and Arendt (collective action).
\n9. Justice today: How might Ric&oelig\;ur's reflections on justice\, collective memory\, and forgiveness (Memory\, History\, Forgetting\, Epilogue) be articulated with the contemporary stakes of memory conflicts\, politics of reconciliation\, or postcolonial reparations? Ric&oelig\;ur's philosophy is bound up with figures such as Halbwachs\, Derrida\, and Honneth. His reflection on memory and forgiveness continues to shed lasting light on the practices of transitional justice.
\nSubmission Guidelines
\nTo submit a proposal or for any inquiries\, please write to us at the following address: seminaire.actualites.ricoeur@gmail.com. Proposals are welcome from doctoral students\, postdoctoral researchers\, and early-career scholars of any discipline (philosophy\, literary studies\, theology\, social sciences\, law)\, provided that they are grounded in Ric&oelig\;ur's texts and in contemporary debates for which Ric&oelig\;urian theory could be fruitfully mobilized. Comparative and transdisciplinary proposals are welcome. We will accept proposals in French and in English.

A Husserlian Contribution to Revelation. UID:20260909T152948Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6cf9979bf7-2k8pg TZID:Australia/Melbourne LOCATION:250 Victoria Parade\, East Melbourne\, Australia DESCRIPTION:Revelation is central to the task of phenomenology in its &ldquo\;bringing to light&rdquo\; phenomena as they appear to us (Gschwandtner 2024). In a phenomenology of religious experience\, divine revelation has opened beyond &lsquo\;doctrinal content&rsquo\; toward multiple ways of thinking through experiences of the divine as &lsquo\;self-affective&rsquo\; (Henry)\, &lsquo\;saturated&rsquo\; (Marion)\, &lsquo\;dialogic&rsquo\; and as &lsquo\;event&rsquo\; (Horner 2022). \;
\nConstitution deals with the presentation of ordinary objects in perception. It is a key\, all-pervading conceptual device for Husserl in his seeking clarity to understand the world through phenomenological analyses (Sokolowski 1970). There is a deep methodological divide between revelation and constitution. One reason is because constitution cannot account for divine phenomena since they do not appear to us in ordinary perception.
\nA consequence has been to dismiss &lsquo\;phenomenologies of constitution&rsquo\; in the religious context on two fronts. First\, in its inability to describe divine phenomena\, resulting in a widening and/or redefining of Husserlian concepts and method (Dika and Hackett 2016)\; and secondly\, in prohibiting phenomenological method from analysing religious questions best left to theology (Janicaud 2000).
\nElsewhere\, I have argued that an intentional analysis of faith and doubt is possible if one&rsquo\;s regard is directed toward the noetic-noematic structures of believing: the object of belief is a belief as such\, supervened within a community of believers. Drawing on the eidetic laws within Husserl&rsquo\;s series of belief modalities\, I further analysed these movements of believing as faith formation through an interrelated frame of epistemic\, imagistic and aesthetic-kinetic constitutions (Husserl 1983\; McNeilly 2015).
\nIn this paper\, I propose that phenomenologies of constitution offer a robust and revelatory approach to religious experience. I argue that coming back to the constitution of an object that fully presents\, illuminates rather than excludes an account of these experiences. Furthermore\, I argue that God or divine entities\, while appearing to be limits to phenomenological method\, are no less elusive\, or absent as objects in the mind than how they figure in rational\, cataphatic\, mystical\, and apophatic arguments for existence. I will attempt to show how an intentional analysis of constitution reveals something missing in revelation\, by way of a more stable object: the belief of a belief itself. Rather than seeing constitution as a rival approach to revelation\, I ask: how can the limits of both bring out the richness of experience for the other? \; \; \;
\nOverall\, the paper aims to bring us back to Husserl in a phenomenology of religious experience\, where phenomenologies of constitution have been downplayed if not outright dismissed at the peril of losing something profound in understanding one&rsquo\;s faith

\nTitle: \; Closing the Loop on Social Influence in Science
\nAbstract: \;
\nThe prevalence of social influence in science is widely documented. \; But this influence is not one-sided. \; Social beliefs and values shape science\, and at the same time are shaped by scientific findings. \; This mutual influence raises the possibility of dynamical interplay between science and society. \; But while this possibility has been mentioned numerous times in the literature\, there is relatively little work attempting to analyze and outline how this mutual influence might work. \; This talk argues that two-way influence between science and society is promiscuous\, occurring via a wide range of mechanisms that start with both values and related cultural background beliefs\, and influence both values and related cultural background beliefs. I&rsquo\;ll discuss three sorts of general patterns at play&mdash\;positive feedback\, polarizing feedback\, and amplification.

This encourages students to write research journals along with the pace of the course and allow more flexibility in terms of developing research interests. The outcome of the course can be more than final assignments. It can also be a collaborative project for publish use —a website/a curatorial project/or a published work with collaborative efforts. Digital humanities are more effective in recent research and the teaching of premodern literature. UCLA launched a mobile app of digital dictionary KuLA that transcribes premodern cursive Japanese handwriting into legible characters. The research tool—geographic information systems—is also adopted by many literary scholars to collaborate with city planners/geographers/cartographers or to adopt an interdisciplinary approach of spatial analysis in literary work. Some co-teaching or co-authorship are done this way. Instructors who are interested in ethics in pedagogy are also learning from scholarship on disability studies.\n\nKeywords\n\npedagogy literary pedagogy comparative pedagogy land-based pedagogy premodern ORGANIZER;CN=Vivien Jiaqian Zhu: METHOD:PUBLISH END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260909T152909Z DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260922T153000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260922T170000 SUMMARY:Attention and education UID:20260909T152951Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6cf9979bf7-2k8pg TZID:Europe/London DESCRIPTION:In the twentieth century\, sociologists and economists began to speak of our economy as an attention economy (Citton\, 2017: 5ff.). At the heart of this economy lies the scarce resource of our attention\, and this is what sellers are competing for with ever more sophisticated means (Franck\, 2019: 13). In fact\, beyond attracting our attention in order to sell goods\, sellers use attractive goods to capture &ndash\; and sell &ndash\; our attention. We pay for many things we consume through various media with the attention we spend on advertisements that frame and interrupt the show\, programme\, or whatever we were enjoying. Big tech companies have become experts at creating technology that arrests and holds people&rsquo\;s attention. The smartphone and the &lsquo\;social&rsquo\; media it channels is currently the ultimate example\, and (young) people&rsquo\;s addiction to it demonstrates its producers&rsquo\; success in captivating their attention (Coughlan\, 2019\; Giansanti\, 2025).
\n\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;The attention economy &ndash\; or more broadly the attentional \;ecology \;today&rsquo\;s society offers (Citton\, 2017) &ndash\; comes with educational implications. According to our experience educators tend to see the educational problem it poses in terms of competition: students&rsquo\; attention is a battleground\, and teachers&rsquo\; efforts to draw and direct students&rsquo\; attention have to compete with those of big tech. \;The attention needed in and for education is distracted\, even held captive\, by smartphones and social media. But here the importance of attention is still seen as instrumental only. Attention is a scarce resource and a means to accomplish educational ends. The problem of smartphone and social media addiction should also help us to look beyond this\, however\, because what we see here is not just that attention we would rather see devoted to educational activities is spent on something else\, but that students \;lack control \;over their attention. The problem with attention is at the same time a problem with autonomy and agency\, concepts &ndash\; and values &ndash\; generally considered to lie at the heart of education. As Ergas (2016\, 2017) argued\, attention lies at the heart of autonomy and agency. It is therefore not just a means to accomplish educational ends\, but also an end\, a capacity (or suite of capacities) worth cultivating in education for its importance in life rather than for &lsquo\;learning&rsquo\; only &ndash\; a point also argued for in different ways by Jiddu Krishnamurti and Simone Weil\, among others (Krishnamurti\, 2024\; Weil\, 1986\; see Lewin\, 2014).
\n\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;The purpose of this research lab is to explore the educational importance of attention further. The focus will not lie on the question what teachers should direct students&rsquo\; attention to (i.e. the \;object \;of attention)\, which would lead us to the familiar question as to the contents and justification of the curriculum\, but on questions pertaining to attention as such: what \;kinds \;of attention should we try to cultivate in education\, and for what purpose? How does attention relate to autonomy\, agency\, and ultimately human flourishing? How and why should attention have the transformative potential claimed for it? \;And how should educational practices relate to the attentional ecology offered by today&rsquo\;s mediatized societies\, and what attentional ecology should educators and educational institutions themselves strive to offer?
\nEngaging with questions such as these requires that we reflect on the nature(s) of attention itself before we focus on its educational importance (though it may also prove helpful to approach the phenomenon &ndash\; or phenomena &ndash\; of attention through how they manifest in educational situations). Hence\, the research lab will consist of the following three sessions.

\nBackground
\nThe guiding idea of this research lab (i.e. a short series of online seminars)\, which is part of the project \;Expanding Consciousness in Education &ndash\; East\, West\, North and South. Towards a Global Philosophy of Education \;(GlobalPhilEd)\, is to establish a genuinely global practice of philosophy of education aiming at an actual collaborative engagement between the substantive positions developed in different traditions focusing on concrete philosophical problems. In doing so our aim is to practice global philosophy as a collaborative explorative enterprise that deals with concrete philosophical issues and concepts and to better understand the methodological (meta-)philosophical issues this involves. To make adequate philosophical sense of the phenomenon of attention and its relationships to education\, as the topic of our second research lab\, we thus hope to draw on the plurality of philosophical traditions in the world in order to better understand the different varieties of attention and their educational value. \;
\nRequirements for registration
\nThis research lab will be structured as three sessions (each 2\,5 hours long) that will encourage active participation of participants during sessions\, as well as in collaboratively thinking about the self and its different dimensions from the perspective of different traditions of the Philosophy of Education. This collaborative philosophical initiative provides a unique opportunity to engage with international colleagues on a central topic in the Global Philosophy of Education\, that currently enjoys increasing attention. The results of our discussion may &ndash\; if participants are interested &ndash\; be published in different forms and via different outlets\, such as joint \;(i.e. by two or more participants) written journal papers (or paper proposals)\, blog texts\, or an edited volume.
\nAs this is a collaborative effort\, we request that you sign up only if you anticipate attending all three sessions and are able to engage with the project in between sessions. \;
\nIn order to register please briefly indicate the specific research interests related to Philosophy of Education (or related fields) and share some general ideas that you have concerning the topic of the self and education. You will receive the texts as well as the zoom links after registration.
\nFor registration please contact: \;a.schinkel@vu.nl.

\nWorkshop: Knowledge on Nature and the Nature of Knowledge
\nPlace and date: 24. and 25.09.2026\, Integrative Research Institute on Transformations of Human-Environment Systems (IRI THESys)\, Humboldt University Berlin
\nIn this workshop we want to explore how knowledge on &ldquo\;Nature&rdquo\;\, environmental destruction and related forms of resistance is produced\, is circulating and translated. We are particularly interested in contributions which focus on the material\, institutional and political context which forms knowledge.
\nThis can include quite different foci: the role of indigenous territories\, knowledge born out of environmental struggles and conflicts\, working (conditions) at European Universities\, the rise of authoritarianism and much more.
\nHow do these conditions influence the topics studied\, the translations undertaken\, the political commitments made or not made? Why is it important to ask these questions and how to study them? Ultimately: what do we have to know about knowledge production and how do we have to act on this knowledge in order to create knowledge that is apt to answer to the violence brought upon humans and non-humans?
\nThe workshop will be the first event of the research project &ldquo\;Looking across Worlds for Environmental Justice&rdquo\;\, where researchers from the Universidad Andina Simó\;n Bolí\;var in Quito\, King&rsquo\;s College London and Humboldt University of Berlin empirically research how environmental knowledge is produced and translated in different contexts in and between Ecuador and Europe.
\nIf you are interested in participating\, please send an abstract (max 350 words) of your proposed contribution to mehlhora@hu-berlin.de by 12 July 2026. Proposals can be sent in your language of choice\, the main languages of the event will be English and Spanish\, other languages will be tried to accommodate. Contributions from outside of academia are welcome. If you require financial support to participate\, please let us know when submitting your proposal. Limited funding for travel support may be available.

To remember \; sometimes means to experience again. That is the case of trauma. However\, recovery from trauma is also based on memory. The question\, then\, is not how to forget painful memories\, but how to remember without suffering.
During this conference we would like to concentrate on the phenomena of trauma and recovery\, to look at how memory is involved in the traumatic experience and the recovery process and explore\, among other questions\, what we remember and forget\, what causes suffering and how to deal with it.
We are interested in all aspects of traumatic experiences\, in their individual and collective dimensions\, in the past and in the present-day world. We would like to examine the role of memory in both falling into trauma and overcoming it. Thus\, we want to describe the phenomena of trauma and recovery in their multifarious manifestations: psychological\, social\, historical\, cultural\, philosophical\, religious\, economic\, political\, and many others. As usual\, we also want to devote considerable attention to how these phenomena appear in artistic practices: literature\, film\, theatre or visual arts. That is why we invite researchers representing various academic disciplines: anthropology\, history\, psychiatry\, psychology\, psychoanalysis\, sociology\, politics\, philosophy\, economics\, law\, literary studies\, theatre studies\, film studies\, memory studies\, migration studies\, consciousness studies\, dream studies\, gender studies\, postcolonial studies\, medical sciences\, cognitive sciences\, and urban studies and others.
Different forms of presentations are encouraged\, including case studies\, theoretical inqueries\, problem-oriented arguments or comparative analyses.
We will be happy to hear from both experienced scholars and young academics at the start of their careers\, as well as doctoral and graduate students. We also invite all persons interested in participating in the conference as listeners\, without giving a presentation.
The topics for the conference include but are not limited to the following suggestions:
I. Individual experiences

Drawing on the reflections of the Russian writer Ivan Turgenev (1818-1883) in his novel Fathers and sons\, as well as those of some of his compatriots &mdash\;Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1883) and Anton Chekhov (1860-1904)\, for example&mdash\; passing through philosophers such as Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) and Martin Heidegger (1889-1976)\, nihilism ceases to be a simple concept and becomes a phenomenon that directly engages human experience and\, with it\, all spheres of contemporary human existence. Works such as those by Franco Volpi (2005. El nihilismo. Buenos Aires: Biblos)\, Roberto Esposito\, Vincenzo Vitiello and Carlo Galli (2008. Nihilismo y polí\;tica. Buenos Aires: Manantial)\, Michelle Borrelli (2017. Nuovo umanesimo o nichilismo. Grandezza e miseria dell&rsquo\;Occidente. Trieste: Asterios Editore)\, and Costantino Esposito (2021. El nihilismo de nuestro tiempo. Una cró\;nica. Madrid: Encuentro) bear witness to this. Within this context\, the International Center of Studies on Contemporary Nihilism &mdash\;dedicated to thinking about the phenomenon of nihilism from diverse perspectives (philosophical\, political\, cultural\, educational\, and social\, among others)&mdash\; opens the call for its 4th International Conference with the aim of fostering discussion on the multiple possible approaches to the two-faced phenomenon of &ldquo\;destruction&rdquo\; (the tendency toward nothingness\, negation\, and the minimization of diversity in the various spheres of human existence) and &ldquo\;creation&rdquo\; (diverse possibilities that run counter to any process of negation of the world&rsquo\;s multiplicity)\, offering a wide range of themes from which the experience of nihilism and its possible ways of overcoming can be addressed.
