French and Francophone Philosophy Today
\nApril 18-20th 2024 \;
\nLouisiana State University\, Baton Rouge
\nKeynotes: Souleymane Bachir Diagne (Columbia)\, Penelope Deutscher (Northwestern)\, Franç\;ois Raffoul (LSU\, emeritus)
\nLSU&rsquo\;s Department of Philosophy\, Department of French Studies\, and the Center for French and Francophone Studies invite submissions to &ldquo\;French and Francophone Philosophy Today\,&rdquo\; a bilingual conference to be held at LSU (Baton Rouge\, LA) April 18-20th 2024.  \;
\nThe conference will include a panel featuring \;Claire Colebrook (Penn State)\, \; \;Jeff Bell (Southeastern Louisiana University)\, and Dan Smith (Purdue) \; discussing the work of John Protevi (French/Philosophy\, LSU).
\nOur purpose is to gather a diverse set of researchers\, scholars and students to consider the past\, present and future directions of French philosophy. We include under this rubric\, francophone philosophy and philosophical work on various traditions associated with major French and francophone thinkers. This includes\, but is not limited to: Structuralism\, Post-Structuralism\, Deconstruction\, Psychoanalysis\, Genealogy\, Philosophy of Technics\, and Postcolonial &\; Diasporic Philosophy. \;
\nThis conference also intends to celebrate\, honor\, and reflect upon the distinctive contributions of LSU philosophers to contemporary French philosophy over the past 35 years\, including the work of É\;douard Glissant (LSU\, 1988-1993)\, John Protevi (LSU\, 1994-2023)\, Marc Froment-Meurice (LSU\, 1995-1996)\, and Franç\;ois Raffoul (LSU\, 2000-2023). Recognizing the precious and precarious francophone connections of the state of Louisiana\, and its investments in humanistic traditions tied to French thought and cultures\, we seek to affirm the important contributions of our colleagues and our continued commitment to forging new connections between institutions\, individuals and scholarly research networks. \;
\nWhat does it mean to inherit\, extend\, incorporate and even break with the distinct philosophical practices associated with French philosophy? \; We welcome\, in particular\, contributions that explore the work of Glissant\, Protevi\, and Raffoul and the papers that explore the generativity of feminist\, decolonial\, and critical approaches to French philosophy.
\nWe accept papers in French or English in these broad streams:
\nSubmission Deadline: December 1st\, 2023
