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.

An International Centennial Conference UID:20261014T222540Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@fe80:0:0:0:c81e:70ff:fee7:7e34%3 TZID:Europe/Paris LOCATION:Roma\; Paris\; Boston\, Italy DESCRIPTION:Stanley Cavell at 100 \; An International Centennial Conference \; \;
Paris: \;4-5 June 2026 \;| Organized by Sandra Laugier\, Université\; Paris 1 Panthé\;on Sorbonne \; Rome: 8-9 June 2026 \;| Organized by Piergiorgio Donatelli\, Sapienza Università\; di Roma \; Boston: 23-24 October 2026 \;| Organized by Juliet Floyd\, Boston University \; \; \;
In 2026\, we mark the centenary of \;Stanley Cavell (1926&ndash\;2026)\, one of the \;most original and wide-ranging American philosophers of the twentieth century. Cavell&rsquo\;s work traversed traditional disciplinary boundaries&mdash\;engaging deeply with philosophy\, literature\, film\, opera\, psychoanalysis\, politics\, and both American and European traditions of thought. In the spirit of his intellectual breadth and transnational sensibility\, we are organizing a three-part international conference to celebrate his life\, work\, and legacy in Paris\, Rome\, and Boston.
\nWhy This Conference Matters
\nStanley Cavell transformed philosophy into an act of acknowledgment&mdash\;of self\, of others\, and of the everyday. His writings on skepticism\, language\, film\, and the ordinary remain vital at a time when trust in both language and human connection faces renewed challenges. From \;Must We Mean What We Say? \;to \;The Claim of Reason\, from \;The World Viewed \;to \;Pursuits of Happiness\, and through his readings of Emerson and Thoreau\, Cavell helped redefine the scope and style of philosophical writing and teaching.
\nHis engagement with Wittgenstein and Austin reinvigorated the ordinary language tradition\, while his interests in modernism\, cinema\, and American transcendentalism forged a philosophical voice that responded to&mdash\;and often transcended&mdash\;the academic context.
\nThis centennial conference will bring together philosophers\, literary scholars\, and critics to reflect on Cavell&rsquo\;s legacy and extend the conversations he began.
\nThis call for papers concerns all three installments&mdash\;Paris\, Rome\, and Boston&mdash\;of the Cavell at 100 conference.
\nSuggested Themes:
\nWe welcome proposals that engage with the following themes or propose new directions for exploring Cavell&rsquo\;s thought.
\nConference Foci:
\nParis will focus especially on Ordinary Language Philosophy\, Film\, and Popular Culture.
\nRome will center mainly on Ethics\, Politics\, and Forms of Life.
\nBoston will treat primarily Philosophy and Literature\, Tragedy\, Music\, and the Idea of America.
\nSome themes&mdash\;such as skepticism\, modernism\, the ordinary&mdash\;cut across all three conferences.

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.
Join us for a weekly close reading of Gramsci&rsquo\;s Prison Notebooks! The group has a twofold goal: first\, to analyze contemporary political events through the categories formulated in the text\; and second\, to critically examine potential blind spots in Gramsci&rsquo\;s work regarding race\, gender\, and empire\, while keeping in mind the historical context in which he wrote.
TIME
THURSDAYS: weekly\, beginning September 24\, 2026.
5-6 PM Eastern US Time.

ABOUT 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.
Call for Abstracts for The Zicklin Center Normative Business Ethics Workshop Series
\nOver the 2026-2027 academic year\, the Zicklin Center for Governance and Business Ethics at the Wharton School\, University of Pennsylvania\, will convene a regular works-in-progress series for scholars working in normative business ethics (NBE). In particular\, the Series will workshop papers pursuing business ethics issues from a normative perspective\, or papers in moral or political philosophy with implications for the market\, distributive justice\, labor relations\, the role of business in society\, etc.
\nWorkshop Objectives
\nThe Series is part of an effort to foster normative business ethics in the academy and the public sphere. This particular initiative has two key objectives: First\, it endeavors to provide a regular forum for scholars working on business ethics from a normative perspective. The community of such scholars is relatively small\, and dispersed across numerous institutions\, and there are few opportunities for these individuals to convene and share work. This Series is an effort to connect these scholars and to enrich their shared intellectual life. Second\, the Series aims to be especially valuable to junior faculty and advanced graduate students\, by providing them with feedback from\, and opportunities to interact with\, more established members of the normative business ethics community. To that end\, we hope to have (at least) one junior author and one senior author at each session.
\nWorkshop Format
\nThe workshop will meet six times over the academic year. Any academic or practitioner with an interest in normative business ethics is invited to attend the sessions. Attendees are expected to read the papers in advance\, and to come with feedback for the paper authors. To maximize the opportunity for paper improvement\, authors will not present their papers\; we will instead spend our time together on questions and comments for the author.
\nSessions will be held on Fridays\, beginning at 1:00 pm unless otherwise indicated. We will discuss two to three papers at each session. Attendees are expected to read the papers in advance\, and to come prepared to offer feedback.
\nWe plan to hold all sessions in-person\, on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania\, in Philadelphia.
\nSession Dates:
\nSeptember 25th\, 2026
\nOctober 30th\, 2026
\nJanuary 29th\, 2027
\nFebruary 26th\, 2027
\nMarch 19th\, 2027
\nApril 16th\, 2027
\nCall for Abstracts
\nWe invite abstract submissions from \;faculty and post-docs\, and from graduate students who have advanced to the ABD stage. \;Preferential treatment will be given to those who have not presented work at the Series before\, and we especially welcome submissions from women and under-represented minorities.
\nThe abstract should propose a paper in normative business ethics\, as described above. We ask that submissions offer a fairly detailed sense of the paper without exceeding 500 words.
\nWe ask that applicants identify three of the above dates\, in order of preference\, at which they would like to present their work. Please send your abstract to Brian Berkey &ndash\; bberkey@wharton.upenn.edu -- by July 15th\, 2026. Individuals will be notified about whether their paper has been selected for presentation by August 3rd\, 2026.
\nInformation for Selected Authors
\nThe Zicklin Center will cover reasonable travel and accommodation expenses for paper authors for the session at which their paper will be discussed.
\nReimbursement for travel expenses is subject to two conditions. By accepting the offer to workshop a paper\, the paper author pledges that:
\n1. \; \; \; \; The paper they will share is at a stage of development where the author can incorporate feedback gained at the workshop (e.g.\, the paper is not yet in page proofs or in print)\; and
\n2. \; \; \; \; The paper author will send their draft paper to the organizers no fewer than 14 days before their presentation date.
\nFor co-authored papers\, we can ordinarily only provide travel funding for one of the authors\, though other co-authors are welcome to attend.
\nPlease address any questions about the CFA or the workshop to one of the organizers: Brian Berkey (bberkey@wharton.upenn.edu)\, Amy Sepinwall (sepin@wharton.upenn.edu)\, Julian Jonker (jonker@wharton.upenn.edu)\, or Paul Forrester (pforr@wharton.upenn.edu).

\nConference Theme
\nIn recent decades\, political and social debates have increasingly focused on identity-based groups defined by characteristics such as race\, gender\, sexual orientation\, disability\, class\, religion\, or age. These developments have generated extensive discussion in political philosophy and social theory. However\, many of the metaphysical and epistemological assumptions underlying identity politics remain insufficiently examined.
\nThis conference aims to investigate the nature\, constitution\, and epistemic role of social identities. In particular\, we seek to explore the mechanisms through which identities emerge as robust social and political entities\, and the ways in which identity-related features&mdash\;such as lived experience\, self-identification\, social recognition\, and shared narratives&mdash\;contribute to their formation and persistence. \;
\nAnother central aim is to examine whether different identities (for example\, race\, gender\, sexual orientation\, or class) are constituted through similar or distinct metaphysical and epistemic mechanisms. Comparative approaches that analyse similarities and differences across identities are especially welcome. \;
\nThe conference will also address the epistemological aspects of social identities\, including questions concerning situated knowledge\, epistemic authority\, intersectionality\, and conflicts among different socially situated perspectives.
\nTopics
\nPossible topics include\, but are not limited to:
\nMetaphysics of Social and Political Identities
\nEpistemology of Social Identity
\nSubmissions from metaphysics\, epistemology\, social philosophy\, feminist philosophy\, philosophy of race\, and related areas are welcome.
\nKeynote speaker: Kristina Rolin (Tampere University)
\nSubmission Guidelines
\nPlease submit an anonymous abstract of 400&ndash\;500 words.
\nThe submission should be attached to the email in .pdf format and prepared for blind review. Please include the following information separately in the body of the email: your name(s)\, affiliation(s)\, contact information\, the title of your talk.

EDUCATION – COMMUNITY – RESISTANCE UID:20261014T222547Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@fe80:0:0:0:c81e:70ff:fee7:7e34%3 TZID:Europe/Belgrade LOCATION:Kraljice Natalije 45\, Belgrade\, Serbia\, 11000 DESCRIPTION:Schools and universities are increasingly becoming places that reflect global struggles: from culture wars over curriculum content to economic pressures that radically change teachers&rsquo\; working conditions\, the availability of education\, and the very purpose of learning. Within them\, the interests of various social actors inevitably intersect\, and often clash. Educational institutions can serve as instruments of control and reproduction of the existing order &ndash\; entrenching inequalities\, normalizing authority\, and limiting dissent. Conversely\, education can also be a site of resistance - a space for critical thinking\, challenging\, social mobilization\, and the creation of alternatives.
\nContemporary education has a strong moral\, political\, and ideological dimension: it aims\, among other things\, to educate active citizens and skilled entrepreneurs\, encourage care for others and the environment\, foster national identity\, and a sense of belonging. The values of the wider community spill over into the educational system\, but the reverse can also be true - educational institutions and educational actors can contribute to shaping the values of the wider community through their own\, autonomous values. If we view educational institutions as communities that possess a certain autonomy and resilience in relation to the local and wider community\, questions arise about the principles on which they should be built as good communities.
\nOn the other hand\, contemporary social and educational contexts confront us with forms of community that consolidate themselves through exclusion\, as well as with forms of resistance directed against democratic values. Rather than presupposing their emancipatory character\, the conference invites critical reflection on the many directions and forms that community and resistance can take in educational contexts.
\nThis also reopens the question of what education itself is\, and ought to be\, under present social conditions. The conference aims to open an interdisciplinary discussion on the interrelationships between education\, community\, and resistance. Authors are invited to address the following\, as well as other questions they deem relevant to the conference theme:
\n&bull\; What is the meaning of education in new social circumstances?
\n&bull\; In what way does education reproduce or challenge power relations and dominant ideologies?
\n&bull\; In relation to what\, when\, and how can education become a place and practice of resistance?
\n&bull\; How do practices within educational institutions contribute to the transformation of the wider community?
\n&bull\; What can we learn from the movements and protests spurred by educational actors?
\n&bull\; In what ways do various forms of democratic participation in education influence the reflection on and the construction of community?
\n&bull\; What pedagogical practices nurture community\, togetherness\, and a sense of belonging within educational institutions and outside of them? How to overcome alienation within educational institutions?
\n&bull\; How do different forms of non-formal education within the community contribute to the development of critical awareness\, collective action\, and resistance?
\n&bull\; Given the current social circumstances\, can the concepts of community and resistance still function as markers of progressive educational practices?
\nThe conference is open to theoretical and empirical contributions\, case studies\, as well as comparative approaches from all disciplines of social sciences and humanities.
\nKeynote speakers:
\nProf. Michalinos Zembylas\, Open University of Cyprus
\nProf. Aleksandar Baucal\, University of Belgrade
\nProf.Helen Haste\, University of Bath
\nIn addition to individual presentations\, panel proposals of three to four papers\, with a designated convener\, are also welcome. Panel proposals should include the title of the panel\, panel abstract (up to 300 words)\, the title of the individual presentations\, individual paper abstracts (up to 300 words)\, and information about all panel participants.
\nWe especially invite teachers and educators to present school projects and teaching initiatives that embody critical pedagogy\, democratic participation\, or creative resistance. These presentations aim to highlight examples of good practice that connect theory and action\, research and education\, community and resistance. We encourage teachers to submit presentations based on their everyday practice and experiences\, such as:
\n&bull\; school projects related to the main themes of the conference\,
\n&bull\; initiatives that promote students&rsquo\; democratic participation\,
\n&bull\; forms of creative or quiet resistance to injustice and bureaucratic pressures\,
\n&bull\; examples of critical pedagogy in the classroom\,
\n&bull\; ways of connecting the school with the local community.

\nPhilML is an annual conference dedicated to the philosophy of machine learning. It addresses foundational epistemological\, ethical\, and social questions concerning machine learning from the perspective of analytic philosophy. The conference welcomes both (1) work that applies philosophical concepts and methods to gain insight into machine learning\, and (2) work that critically reflects on the philosophical and ethical implications of machine learning research. To foster close and productive exchange\, PhilML brings together philosophers and philosophically inclined machine learning researchers\, with an openness to engaging direclty with scientific and mathematical details. \;
\nPhilML'26 will take place at LMU Munich from October 7-9. The call for papers will be announced in May\, at which point we will invite people to submit extended abstracts. \;

\nDescription: Alongside the growing complexity of collective agents such as organizations\, groundbreaking developments in AI and robotics are reshaping our moral landscape in profound and unprecedented ways. With LLM-powered avatars\, AI companions\, and hybrid human-AI assemblages taking the scene\, we are witnessing radical challenges to longstanding assumptions about the nature of agency\, virtue and moral character. Can virtues such as honesty\, practical wisdom\, or care be attributed to artificial or collective agents\, or do they remain the exclusive province of individual human beings? The purpose of this two-day workshop is to explore the puzzle of virtue attribution across an emerging taxonomy of agents\, from human to LLM-powered avatars operating in professional\, educational\, healthcare or virtual gaming environments\, to collective agents encompassing human and artificial agency in organizational settings. Drawing on research from virtue ethics\, AI ethics\, and business ethics\, the workshop aims to interrogate both the theoretical foundations and the practical stakes of extending the traditional virtue-theoretic framework beyond its traditional human-centered scope.
\nOrganizers: This is the third of a series of five yearly workshops hosted by the Research Center in Applied Ethics of the Faculty of Philosophy\, University of Bucharest\, within the framework of the ERC Starting Grant project &ldquo\;avataResponsibility&rdquo\; (Avatar agency. Moral responsibility at the intersection of individual\, collective\, and artificial social entities in emergent avatar communities). Details of the previous edition are available here. The workshop is part of the larger series of events &ldquo\;Responsibility Matters Workshop Series&rdquo\; (RMWS) covering topics related to responsibility across various fields.

The philosophy of solitude is complex\, \;and how solitude is presented culturally &ndash\; especially in art\, literature and music \;&ndash\; illuminates \;at least as well as academicstudies how solitude is experienced. \;This paper focuses on the philosophy of solitude as experienced over the last two centuries of largely urban solitude. It explores the culturally-mediated negative experiences of urban alienation and loneliness\, and the positive experiences of healthful urban solitude and enstasy &ndash\; the latter meaning to be comfortable within oneself (in contrast to ecstasy\, escaping from oneself). Drawing on a range of work on solitude in general\, the philosophy of solitude\, and specific work on the culture of solitude\, this paper shows\, speaks\, and sounds of the variety of solitudes.

Since an interdisciplinary approach is crucial for identifying\, discussing\, and resolving complex social and political issues\, we welcome proposals from other disciplines and from all areas of philosophy. \;
\nAbstracts and presentations may be in either French or English. Each speaker has 20 minutes to present\, followed by an open discussion period. We invite submissions that engage in research on topics including but not limited to:
\n● Transformation\, solidarity\, and community.
\n● Rights\, dignity\, and freedom: Relationships between human\, animals\, and nature.
\n● Positive and negative roles of dystopian/utopian thinking\, of hope/hopelessness\, of \;
\nnihilism/fatalism\, and of future studies.
\n● Alienation\, reconciliation\, and reparation.
\n● Relation between theory and practice\; justice\; moral and institutional responsibility.
\n● Policy\, commensurability\, feasibility\, and sustainability.

We are particularly interested in contributions examining how economic planning has been conceptualised and practised across national and international contexts\, the politics of planning\, and the ways planning histories can (or not) inform present-day political and policy discussions. We are looking for both empirical and theoretical papers from diverse disciplinary angles.

\nManuscripts should be between 7\,000 and 9\,000 words\, prepared for anonymous review\, and submitted through the PAQ submission portal by October 15\, 2026.

The risks posed by the glocal economic and political system's nearly unlimited dependence on fossil fuels and ecological destruction have inspired reflection on the possibility that capitalism might spell the end of life as we know it\, and that the imperatives of this social\, political\, and economic system work against life itself. As these risks have become more apparent\, this system has only become more entrenched\, exerting progressively greater control over our patterns of production and consumption\, forms of life\, and collective political imagination. But the difficulty of envisaging life after capitalism has not translated intoa shortage of theoretical\, practical\, and artistic work on this topic. It seems rather to have spurred a rich and diverse range of attempts to imagine and enact alternative forms of social organization\, discern the possibility and dangers of revolutionary transformation\, learn from the traditions of exploited and dispossessed peoples around the world\, and assess the prospects of escape - or collapse.
The programe committee of the 18th biennial conference of the Radical Philosophy Association encourages submissions on the theme of life after capitalism\, with a special emphasis on three areas: ecology\, humanity\, and utopia. Submissions are encouraged that address any area of these topics\, including the following:
Ecology
degrowth v. eco-modernism\; afro-\, anti-colonial\, and indigenous resistance to ecological destruction\; eco-fascism\, eco-socialism\, and anarchism\; revolutionary strategy and environmental collapse\; extractivism and its critiques\; political economy and the global energy system\; ecological flourishing and ecological catastrophe\; the political\, epistemic\, or ontological concept of life
Humanity
humanism and its critics (e.g. Afro-pessimism\, posthumanism\, theoretical antihumanism)\; humanity's relationship to the environment and to itself\; pre- and post-capitalist forms of life\; political organization and political strategy\; organizing society differently in theory and practice\; capitalist production and social repdoction\; the experience of economic and social collapse
Utopia
uses and abuses of utopia/distopia\; the end of the world and the end of capitalism\; theorizing revolutionary transformation\; imagining life before\, after\, or outside of capitalism\; political temporality: kairos\, kronos\, and apocalypse
We welcome single paper\, panel\, and workshop submissions on any area related to these themes\, or to radical philosophy mroe broadly construed. Individual authors are asked to submit anonymized abstracts of 250-400 words (maximum) to \;radical.philosophy.association@gmail.com. For panel submissions (maximum 3 speakers)\, please send an abstract for each paper\, as well as a more general panel abstract. All papers received by \;February 15\, 2026\, \;will be anonymously reviewed. \;
Pace University Center for Ethical Thinking's Third Thursdays Speaker Series brings together scholars from a range of disciplines doing innovative work in ethics\, political theory\, and related areas. \;

Founded in 1976 by Bentley Professor W. Michael Hoffman\, the HCBE is one of the world's oldest academic centers dedicated to business ethics. For five decades\, the HCBE has advanced its mission to make business better through pioneering research\, innovative teaching\, and collaboration with industry.
\nTo celebrate\, we are hosting a gala dinner on October 15th followed by an all-day conference on October 16th. Both events will be held on the Bentley campus. More information about them can be found on our website. Registration links will be available soon. We welcome your attendance at the dinner and participation in the conference. (These events are independent\; you can attend both or just one.)
\nOur keynote speakers are:
\nKelly Richmond Pope (DePaul University)
Alan Strudler (University of Pennsylvania)
The window for submissions to the conference is now open. The HCBE understands business ethics broadly to include topics such as AI ethics\, conflicts of interest\, corporate social responsibility\, corporate political activity\, corruption and bribery\, data privacy and security\, diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, divestment\, ESG investing\, the governance and control of firms\, labor issues\, marketing ethics\, meaningful work\, the moral limits of markets\, the purpose of business and business activity\, the responsible use of technology\, sustainability\, social entrepreneurship\, whistleblowing\, and much else. We welcome contributions from scholars in all relevant fields. We want to hear from those working on normative questions (e.g.\, what actions are right?) as well as descriptive ones (e.g.\, what are the causes and effects of right action?\, how do businesses address and manage ethical issues?). While we expect many submissions to focus on research in business ethics\, we encourage submissions on the teaching and practice of business ethics.
\nTo apply for the conference\, please submit an abstract of between 500 &ndash\; 750 words\, excluding notes and references. This goes for all submission types (papers\, panels\, and roundtable discussions). Details can be found on our website. Submissions should be sent to Gail Sands at \;gsands@bentley.edu \;by May 2\, 2026. Decisions will be communicated in early June.

L&rsquo\;&oelig\;uvre de Walter Benjamin s&rsquo\;est prê\;té\;e à\; diverses interpré\;tations\, souvent tendues\, souvent contradictoires entre elles. La litté\;rature critique qui lui a é\;té\; consacré\;e s&rsquo\;est à\; juste titre concentré\;e sur les grands thè\;mes ou tendances qui la traversent \;: le messianisme juif\, le maté\;rialisme historique\, le thé\;ologico-politique\, la philosophie du langage\, la philosophie de l&rsquo\;histoire\, la critique litté\;raire\, l&rsquo\;esthé\;tique dans son rapport à\; la technique\, l&rsquo\;image\, la modernité\;\, le mythe\, l&rsquo\;expé\;rience\, le corps\, etc. Par là\;\, s&rsquo\;é\;clairaient aussi bien les diffé\;rents aspects et le dé\;tail de la pensé\;e benjaminienne que sa grande diversité\; et son hé\;té\;rogé\;né\;ité\;.
\nOn doit cependant &ndash\; à\; contre-courant de cette dissé\;mination &ndash\; noter l&rsquo\;unité\; et la cohé\;rence de cette pensé\;e qui à\; l&rsquo\;occasion de chaque nouvel objet se reprend et se prolonge\, se ré\;é\;crit et se mé\;tamorphose. Aussi divers soient-ils\, les é\;crits de Benjamin participent d&rsquo\;un projet intellectuel critique cohé\;rent\, qui mé\;rite d&rsquo\;ê\;tre mis en relief dans son ampleur et sa gé\;né\;ralité\;. L&rsquo\;ambition de ce numé\;ro d&rsquo\;Appareil est de ré\;pondre à\; cette exigence d&rsquo\;une lecture globale du projet benjaminien\, sans cependant faire violence à\; l&rsquo\;attention qu&rsquo\;elle portait elle-mê\;me pour le petit et singulier\, ce qui ré\;siste à\; subsomption sous le gé\;né\;ral. Il s&rsquo\;agit de travailler à\; mettre en rapport ses thè\;mes\, ses concepts et ses images\, afin de pré\;senter et rendre accessible la problé\;matique philosophique qu&rsquo\;ils constituent. Notre visé\;e est d&rsquo\;insister sur les lieux où\; cette &oelig\;uvre se lie à\; elle-mê\;me dans son dessein gé\;né\;ral\, de tracer les lignes d&rsquo\;une intelligence unifié\;e du projet critique qu&rsquo\;elle met en &oelig\;uvre.
\nCette tâ\;che ne peut ê\;tre accomplie par l&rsquo\;identification d&rsquo\;un terme-clé\; ou d&rsquo\;un motif de l&rsquo\;&oelig\;uvre de Benjamin\, susceptible d&rsquo\;en unifier thé\;matiquement et expressé\;ment l&rsquo\;ensemble. Il s&rsquo\;agit plutô\;t de trouver une question transversale capable de fé\;dé\;rer &ndash\; en mê\;me temps qu&rsquo\;elle les é\;claire dans leur dé\;termination propre &ndash\; les divers aspects de la production benjaminienne. De ce point de vue\, un candidat possible et prometteur est l&rsquo\;enjeu de la mé\;diation\, comprise en un sens large\, qui implique à\; la fois les aspects maté\;riels et intellectuels de l&rsquo\;expé\;rience dans leur mise en rapport historique. Lire Benjamin comme un penseur radical de la mé\;diation permet de tracer un parcours pour explorer son &oelig\;uvre de maniè\;re cohé\;rente\, sans pour autant opé\;rer une reductio ad unum d&rsquo\;une pensé\;e aussi fragmenté\;e\, riche et ré\;sistante à\; toute tentative de systé\;matisation. Le terme de «\; \;mé\;diation \;»\; ne dé\;signe pas un concept\, mais une constellation de problè\;mes thé\;oriques et d&rsquo\;inté\;rê\;ts. La polysé\;mie du terme «\; \;mé\;diation \;»\;\, ainsi que la complexité\; de son histoire culturelle\, nous libè\;rent d&rsquo\;un certain usage de la notion de mé\;dium\, qui trop souvent a enfermé\; la contribution benjaminienne dans la vision ré\;ductrice d&rsquo\;une certaine thé\;orie des mé\;dias\, confiné\;e à\; l&rsquo\;enjeu des mass media et de la communication. De plus\, le spectre plus large de la mé\;diation permet de rattacher les textes classiques de Benjamin sur la mé\;diation technique (reproduction mé\;canisé\;e de la photographie et du ciné\;ma\, à\; laquelle sa contribution à\; maintes fois é\;té\; ré\;duite) à\; l&rsquo\;ensemble de son &oelig\;uvre. Enfin\, comme concept opé\;ratoire (pour reprendre une expression d&rsquo\;Eugen Fink)\, la mé\;diation rend possible la liaison cohé\;rente des usages persistants et cependant divers du concept de mé\;dium tout au long de son &oelig\;uvre. S&rsquo\;en tenir aux diffé\;rentes occurrences textuelles isolé\;es du concept de mé\;dium ne suffit pas à\; lui seul pour reconstruire la problé\;matique critique é\;laboré\;e par Benjamin\, dans toute son ampleur et son unité\;. Celles-ci doivent ê\;tre rapporté\;es à\; la problé\;matique qui les informe et qu&rsquo\;elles participent à\; construire en retour.
\nDans ce numé\;ro\, thé\;matiser le problè\;me de la mé\;diation signifiera é\;galement ré\;flé\;chir aux diffé\;rents dispositifs\, ainsi que leurs agencements spé\;cifiques\, qui mé\;diatisent notre expé\;rience du monde\, les «\; \;appareils \;»\; dont parle notamment Jean-Louis Dé\;otte\, expressé\;ment inspiré\; par Benjamin. En mê\;me temps\, ce focus sur l&rsquo\;horizon problé\;matique de la mé\;diation permettra de penser la mé\;diation au-delà\; de sa dimension strictement lié\;e à\; l&rsquo\;histoire des objets techniques\, en mettant en lumiè\;re son importance pour ré\;flé\;chir\, de maniè\;re plus gé\;né\;rale\, au sens de l&rsquo\;agir humain et de son objectivation dans l&rsquo\;histoire\, et en rejetant toute interpré\;tation purement instrumentale de la question de la technologie. Dans ce contexte\, la question de la mé\;diation exprime le caractè\;re à\; chaque fois situé\; et dé\;terminé\; de maniè\;re singuliè\;re du rapport des socié\;té\;s humaines au monde\, sous lequel il est possible de rassembler un grand nombre de thè\;mes centraux de la pensé\;e de Benjamin\, de l&rsquo\;histoire à\; la thé\;ologie\, de la traduction à\; la critique\, de la corporé\;ité\; à\; la perception\, en passant par l&rsquo\;esthé\;tique et les nouvelles formes de l&rsquo\;art.
\nStructure
\nL&rsquo\;objectif de ce numé\;ro d&rsquo\;Appareil est de mettre en dialogue les diffé\;rentes sphè\;res du dé\;bat autour de la pensé\;e de Benjamin\, en accueillant des contributions consacré\;es à\; l&rsquo\;analyse de son &oelig\;uvre à\; partir de la question de la mé\;diation. Il ne s&rsquo\;agit pas tant de proposer une analyse de l&rsquo\;usage que Benjamin fait de termes tels que «\; \;Vermittlung \;»\; ou «\; \;Medium \;»\; &ndash\; sans bien entendu exclure la ré\;fé\;rence à\; ceux-ci et les passages où\; ils sont utilisé\;s &ndash\;\, que de penser la mé\;diation comme une clé\; hermé\;neutique permettant de ré\;flé\;chir à\; son &oelig\;uvre dans son ensemble\, é\;ventuellement à\; partir d&rsquo\;un texte ou d&rsquo\;un problè\;me spé\;cifique\, mais avec l&rsquo\;ambition de dé\;passer l&rsquo\;analyse d&rsquo\;un phé\;nomè\;ne mé\;dial particulier\, qu&rsquo\;il s&rsquo\;agisse d&rsquo\;une forme artistique\, d&rsquo\;un dispositif technique ou du langage.
\nDans cette perspective\, seront tout particuliè\;rement appré\;cié\;es les contributions qui\, tout en se concentrant sur un point pré\;cis\, conserveront l&rsquo\;ambition de proposer une lecture d&rsquo\;ensemble de la pensé\;e de Benjamin à\; partir du thè\;me de la mé\;diation.
\nLes propositions d&rsquo\;articles (400 \;mots maximum) devront ê\;tre acheminé\;es avant le 15 \;octobre 2026 aux adresses alessandro.decesaris@unifr.chet olivier.dorais@umontreal.ca\, accompagné\;s des informations suivantes \;: nom de l&rsquo\;auteur ou de l&rsquo\;autrice\, affiliation institutionnelle\, adresse é\;lectronique de contact.
\nLes articles dé\;finitifs seront à\; soumettre 31 \;janvier 2026. Ils devront compter entre 20 \;000 et 40 \;000 \;signes et respecter les normes é\;ditorialesde la revue.

\nCentral European University\, Vienna\, November 26-27\, 2026
\n\;
\nFew would deny that legitimacy and legitimate rule are among key theoretical challenges of contemporary societies. Yet\, across the vastly different approaches to these concepts (descriptive\, realist\, epistemic\, Weberian\, legal-theoretic\, democratic\, Rawlsian\, public-reason\, and others)\, it remains an open question to what extent these traditions ask the same questions or address the same underlying concerns.
\nThe aim of the workshop is to bring different approaches to political legitimacy into conversation and to explore where they intersect. By bringing perspectives that are not always in direct dialogue into the same room\, the workshop seeks to identify points of convergence\, shared problems\, productive disagreements\, and possibilities for conceptual exchange.
\n\nWe therefore invite contributions that explore topics related to political legitimacy\, legitimate rule\, authority\, or democracy\, regardless of theoretical tradition or perspective.
\nIf interested\, please send abstracts of around 300 words to cibikm@ceu.edu. The deadline for submissions is October 20\, 2026. The decision to accept the applications will be made and communicated no later than October 25th\, 2026.

The moral issues raised by these changes are not new\, however\, and we would benefit from revisiting the long history of thinking about ideals of work and its place in the good life. This conference turns to the history of philosophy and political economy for utopian and radical perspectives on work. We will explore how philosophers and political economists from Plato to Gandhi saw the rational or democratic organization of firms\, unions\, and labor markets as means of advancing justice\, freedom\, and virtue at work. In particular\, we are interested in insights from these figures that might help to address today&rsquo\;s injustices surrounding work. The conference will conclude with a panel on the overall relevance of returning to utopian and revolutionary thinkers from our past. What (if anything) can we learn from them for the 21st century? \;

Svobody 331/2\, Hradec Králové\, Czech Republic DESCRIPTION:The conference is on the nature of rationality and its relation to normativity\, especially on how rationality and reasons generate norms for what to believe\, trust or doubt. Rationality provides norms governing our thinking\, not only in general (do not form incoherent beliefs)\, but also in specific cases (do not trust that obvious conman). Which reasons the agent does or does not possess\, and their quality\, is also important. This conference aims at bringing together experts on these topics and shed light on these phenomena.
\nGetting a clear picture of what rationality and reasons are and what norms they place on our thinking can aid with applied philosophical issues as well. For example\, is conspiracy thinking\, distrust towards scientific experts or falling for fake news irrational? If so\, which rational norms are violated exactly\, and under which circumstances? What does the rational standing of people who engage in these potentially irrational processes teach us about why they engage in them\, and what if anything we should do to combat these phenomena?

\nThe aim of this workshop is therefore to reflect how central concepts in theories of AI ethics can be meaningfully applied to children and adolescents and where these need to be adapted accordingly. This includes\, among others\, the concepts of trust and trustworthiness\, (informed) consent\, privacy\, explainability\, dignity\, well-being as well as bias and justice. All of these are discussed broadly and sometimes controversially in AI ethics literature\, but in most cases cannot simply be applied to children and adolescents.
\nFor example\, on the one hand children and adolescents are particularly dependent on trusting relationships\, but on the other hand cannot yet adequately assess whom or what they should trust and why. This means that trust must also be understood as a developmental task for them and they must be particularly protected from exploitation of their trust. Likewise\, informed consent (for instance in the context of using AI in apps) and explainability are connected with special ethical requirements for them\, which neither limits children and adolescents into the roles of passive objects nor views them as fully autonomous subjects\, but rather analyzes what form of explainability would be appropriate for them.
\nThis workshop aims to explore AI ethics\, its core concepts and theories\, and their application to children and adolescents in order to account for their specific needs\, abilities\, interests\, vulnerabilities\, as well as their social relations and environments. We particularly welcome proposals that critically reflect on childhood and adolescence\, are attentive to diversity dimensions (e.g.\, gender\, race\, age\, disability\, socio-economic status)\, and take intersectional perspectives seriously.

\nInternational Workshop | 22 October 2026\, Chair of Philosophy\, University of St. Gallen
\nCounterrevolution and
\nDemocratic Transformation
\nWith Prof. Bernard Harcourt (Columbia University / EHESS)
\nOver the past two decades\, the world has witnessed increasing normalization of emergency measures\, restrictive border measures\, and the creation of legal and administrative apparatuses to identify\, coerce\, and eliminate internal threats. As these processes have often been driven by democratic states\, there has been intensified debates across political philosophy\, legal theory\, and critical social theory concerning how and when democratic institutions themselves can act as vehicles of authoritarian transformation. However\, disagreement remains over the mechanisms driving these processes and the conceptual vocabularies for understanding them.
\nThe workshop addresses these debates through Bernard Harcourt&rsquo\;s concept of counterrevolution. His recent analyses of counterrevolution\, counterinsurgency\, and emergency governance provide one of the most influential contemporary frameworks for understanding how coercive state rationalities migrate from exceptional contexts into ordinary democratic governance.
\nAt the centre of the workshop is an inquiry into how contemporary democratic states transform governance through legal\, political\, and security mechanisms in ways that consolidate coercive power while preserving the appearance of constitutional normality. It further asks how counterrevolutionary rationalities reshape democratic institutions through law\, administration\, and security practices\, and to what extent these transformations illuminate contemporary processes of authoritarian consolidation or fascitization.
\nThe workshop invites contributions that engage with one or more of the following questions:
\n- \; \; \; \; \; How do emergency powers and constitutional provisions become instruments of permanent governance transformation rather than temporary exception?
\n- \; \; \; \; \; By what legal and administrative mechanisms are internal enemies constructed\, classified\, and subjected to coercive state intervention?
\n- \; \; \; \; \; How do counterinsurgency rationalities migrate into the governance of domestic populations?
\n- \; \; \; \; \; To what extent is fascitization a useful analytical category for understanding contemporary authoritarian consolidation within democratic institutions\, and where does the concept reach its limits?
\nFormat
\nThe workshop takes place on 22 October 2026 at the University of St. Gallen as a one-day\, in-person event\, including a keynote presentation by Bernard Harcourt. The selected speakers will present their paper (20-30min presentation)\, followed by discussion (30 min).
\nEarly-career researchers (including advanced PhD and postdoctoral researchers) in political philosophy\, critical theory\, critical legal studies\, and related fields\, are encouraged to apply.
\nSelected papers will be considered for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. Details will be communicated to participants in due course.

\nThe Kristeva Circle meeting is an international conference that advances scholarship on\, or influenced by\, philosopher\, psychoanalyst\, and novelist Julia Kristeva. The two-day conference will host a variety of speakers from the United States and abroad. \;
\nIn its 11th iteration\, the theme of the 2026 conference will broadly focus on embodiment. However\, given the tenant of the work of this year&rsquo\;s two keynote speakers we \;encourage submissions that address the work of Julia Kristeva in relation to disability\, gender\, sexuality\, and race.
\nWe are delighted to share that we have two keynote speakers confirmed for this year&rsquo\;s conference. They are as follows: \;
\nWe are seeking abstracts that develop the work of Julia Kristeva\, with preference given to submissions that address embodiment broadly construed\, and more specifically disability\, gender\, sexuality\, and/or race.
\nPlease submit abstracts of 500 words\, prepared for anonymous review\, by April 30\, 2026\, to kristevacircle@gmail.com. In a separate document\, include a short author bio with contact info.
