\n\;Call for Applications \;
\nSummary \;
\nThe Humane Philosophy Society\, in collaboration the Faculty of Philosophy\, University of Warsaw\, Blackfriars Hall\, University of Oxford\, and Faculty of Philosophy\, Zagreb University invite applications for the New Generation Research Exchange programme. The Exchange programme will give young scholars in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) working on Big Questions of fundamental human importance the opportunity to participate in three fully funded workshops taking place at the Universities of Warsaw\, Zagreb and Oxford. Participants will have the further opportunity to apply to continue the research during a term of funded supervised research at the University of Oxford on the Marek Matraszek Fellowship. Participants&rsquo\; research projects will be assessed by an external committee after the final workshop takes place to determine possible supervisors for research visits to Oxford. The Fellowship will conclude with an alumni workshop in the summer of 2026 to take place in Trogir\, Croatia. \;

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 »\;.

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:20260910T135848Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6cf9979bf7-fp9jc 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.

\nMetaethics concerns the study of the metaphysical\, epistemological\, semantic and psychological presuppositions and commitments of moral thought\, talk and practice. However\, the answers to these various questions are typically developed with a focus on individuals. The possibility that groups are normative or moral agents in their own right is rarely considered within metaethics. The aim of this workshop is to explore the significance of the possibility of group agency for debates in metaethics\, and vice versa. The workshop will focus on group agency in connection to topics such as naturalism/non-naturalism\; realism/anti-realism\; cognitivism/non-cognitivism\; the nature of normativity and norms\; normative reasons\; rationality\; and experimental metaethics. We further welcome submissions on related issues that may be significant for these topics. By exploring groundbreaking topics at the intersection of metaethics and social ontology\, the workshop hopefully will set the stage for future debates.
\nThe workshop will take place at the University of Vienna from 9 to 11 September 2026.

We will explore how good reasoning should be understood and how it relates to other central normative notions\, such as reasons\, ought\, value\, and fittingness. The workshop seeks to foster discussion of questions including: What are the norms and aims of reasoning? Can we explain what it means to reason well in terms of other normative or non-normative notions? And what roles do normative reasons play in good reasoning?

\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.

At the same time\, there has not been nearly as much work done at the intersection of philosophy of religion and meta-ethics or normative theory. To help inspire more good work in this area\, Christian Miller (Wake Forest)\, Mark Murphy (Georgetown)\, and Chris Tucker (William &\; Mary) have been organizing a series of annual workshops on theistic ethics for a number of years.
\nLogistics: The tenth workshop will be held at the Graylyn Conference Center at Wake Forest University (www.graylyn.com)\, one of the nicest conference facilities in the country. We will begin with dinner and the first paper on Thursday\, September 10 and conclude at the end of the day on Saturday\, September 12\, 2026. There will be five invited papers and four spots for submitted papers. All papers have 40 minutes for presentation and at least 40 minutes for discussion.
\nThemes: &ldquo\;Theistic ethics&rdquo\; is to be understood broadly to include such topics as divine command and divine will theories\, God and natural law\, ethics and the problem of evil\, moral arguments for a theistic being\, infused and acquired virtues\, the harms and benefits of theistic religions\, specific ethical issues in Judaism\, Christianity\, or Islam\, and many other topics as well.
\nApplying: \;Those interested in participating should submit an abstract of up to 750 words and a current C.V. to Christian Miller at \;millerc@wfu.edu \;by \;June 1\, 2026. Word or PDF file formats only. Please prepare abstracts for anonymous review. \; For although the organizers seek to have a balanced program both in terms of topics and presenters\, the initial stage of review will be done anonymously. Submitters to a previous year&rsquo\;s workshop\, whether successful or unsuccessful\, are welcome to apply to this year&rsquo\;s workshop. \;
\nNotification will be made by June 30\, 2026. If your abstract is selected\, we will cover your accommodation\, meals\, and travel. Co-authors are welcome\, but only one author&rsquo\;s expenses can be covered. You do not have to send your paper in advance of the workshop\, and it certainly can be a work in progress. \; Questions about the workshop should be sent to \;millerc@wfu.edu.

\nEdited by Susana Viegas (NOVA FCSH/FILM AND DEATH)
\nEvery city must negotiate the place of its dead. Cemeteries\, crematoria\, memorial parks\, roadside shrines\, temporary memorials\, and other deathscapes form an often-overlooked layer of the urban fabric\, revealing how societies negotiate memory\, ecology\, religion\, politics\, and everyday life. Whether depicting deathscapes as places of dwelling\, as in Sé\;rgio Tré\;faut&rsquo\; s "The City of the Dead" (2011)\, or as destinations of travel\, as in Roberto Rossellini&rsquo\;s "Journey to Italy" (1954)\, media reveal the many ways in which spaces of the dead participate in the social\, cultural\, and political life of cities. Documentary and fiction films\, photography\, television\, digital media\, video games\, and social media not only represent urban deathscapes but also influence how they are experienced\, imagined\, and transformed. \;
\nThis dossier seeks contributions that examine how media engage with urban deathscapes across historical and contemporary contexts. We welcome contributions from scholars working across film and media studies\, urban studies\, geography\, architecture\, anthropology\, death studies\, environmental humanities\, memory studies\, and related fields. \;
\nPossible topics include\, but are not limited to:
\nPlease submit an abstract (maximum 300 words) and a short biography (maximum 100 words) to Susana Viegas (filmdeath@fcsh.unl.pt) by 10 September 2026.
\nAuthors will be notified shortly after the deadline. Full articles (maximum 3\,000 words\, including references\, following the Chicago Manual of Style\, notes and bibliography system) will be due 1 November 2026 and will undergo anonymous peer review.

\nSession 1: \;POLITICS OF DELIGHT: PLAYFULNESS\, JOY AND THE PRACTICE OF RESISTANCE
\nResistance is usually theorized through negation &mdash\; as refusal\, opposition\, struggle against domination. In this session\, we ask a different question: how can playfulness and joy themselves constitute resistance\, not merely relief from the work of resisting? We invite papers that take joy and playfulness seriously as a philosophical and political category\, rather than as an afterthought to more "serious" forms of critique. We are especially interested in work that risks the harder question: does naming play as resistance quietly instrumentalize it\, stripping away the very non-instrumentality that makes it play? Papers need not resolve this tension but should engage it.
\nSuggested Tracks:
\nSession 2: \;NONIDEAL PROFESSIONAL ETHICS
\nMuch of the work in professional ethics &mdash\; including medical\, business\, engineering\, and pedagogical ethics &mdash\; proceeds on assumptions familiar from ideal theory: namely\, that the agent is a decisionmaker who can set policy or treatment decisions\; that those decisions can be reliably implemented by teams of people who will comply and competently execute\; that the social and institutional background for the decision is one of basic stability\, minimally adequate funding\, and so on. But between external stressors and internal structures\, our institutions are often not like this. Conscience clauses allow pharmacists and others to refuse to carry out decisions. Budgets get increasingly constrained and ideologically directive. Overlapping social and political problems\, such as criminalization\, immigration enforcement\, addiction\, insecurity of food\, housing\, and transportation\, and violence interfere with the lives of coworkers and clients/patients/students. Internal to organizations\, power structures and social forces might generate dilemmas or exert social pressure to act in one way rather than another. Are there general principles or distinctive virtues for professional ethics in these and other nonideal contexts\, or is moral particularism or casuistry the only response? Is there a moral philosophy of creating and seizing opportunities for institutional transformation? Does the ideal/nonideal distinction generate a useful frame for these questions? Does the Exit/voice framing provide insight?
\nAbstracts for either session should be prepared for anonymous review and sent\, no later than September 10\, as email attachments to both Roksana Alavi (alavi@ou.edu) and Avery Kolers (akolers@utk.edu). Submission of an abstract constitutes a commitment to register for the conference and attend the session in person if your paper is selected for presentation.

Healthcare education and research continue to grapple with the limits of inherited epistemologies: frameworks that have long marginalised\, pathologised\, or erased trans\, gender-diverse\, and intersex lives. 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.

\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.

\nAesthetic education is often treated as a concern of the arts curriculum alone &mdash\; a matter of what happens in the music room\, the drama studio\, or the visual arts classroom. Yet the claim that education has an aesthetic dimension is older and broader than this narrower usage suggests. From Schiller's argument that beauty is the condition under which the human being becomes whole\, to Dewey's insistence that aesthetic experience is not a separate domain but the consummatory quality of any experience undergone with attention\, to Maxine Greene's reminder that imagination is the passport to the "as if\," the tradition has long held that the aesthetic is implicated wherever learners are asked to perceive carefully\, feel responsively\, and judge with discernment.
\nThis raises questions that sit close to the heart of philosophy in schools. What is the relationship between aesthetic experience and the formation of judgment? Can the school\, which often prioritizes reasoning and dialogue\, also be understood as a site of aesthetic formation &mdash\; a place where attention\, receptivity\, and imaginative response are cultivated alongside argument? If so\, how might practitioners understand what they are already doing\, and what further possibilities might open up? Finally\, how might these questions be addressed using philosophical pedagogies?
\nThis special issue invites contributions that examine the intersection of aesthetic education and philosophy with school-aged children\, across and beyond the arts curriculum. We welcome submissions from various philosophical traditions\, as well as historical recoveries of figures whose work remains generative for contemporary practice. We particularly welcome scholars who approach aesthetics in a crossdisciplinary way &ndash\; calling upon figures from various traditions to formulate their philosophical argument. \;
\nPapers could address the following questions or pursue additional lines of inquiry:
\nThe Facilitator as Artist: How might the role of the teacher or facilitator in a philosophical inquiry be understood as an aesthetic practice or performance?
\nEmbodiment &\; Environment (Place &\; Play): What is the relationship between aesthetic experience\, physical play\, and embodied cognition in philosophical inquiry? How do the physical classroom environment\, outdoor settings\, or digital spaces influence the aesthetic dimension of philosophical inquiry with children?
\nThe Role of Attention\, Perception\, and/or Imagination: What role does aesthetic attention\, perception\, or imagination play in philosophical inquiry with children\, and how might this be cultivated? How can the school be a place for aesthetic philosophical practice\, and what would such a reframing change in pedagogical terms?
\nEducative Aesthetic Experience: What distinguishes an aesthetic experience that is genuinely educative from one that is merely pleasant\, passive\, or even distracting within the context of philosophical inquiry? How can aesthetics be engaged without instrumentalizing works of art?
\nEducating the Aesthetic Dimension: What does it mean to educate the aesthetic dimension of a young person's experience or cultivate aesthetic sensibility\, and how does this differ from\, or complement\, the cultivation of critical reasoning?
\nCreative Thinking and Aesthetics: How does "creative thinking" function within philosophical inquiry with children\, and what is its relationship to critical and caring thinking? How might an aesthetic perspective illuminate the distinctiveness of creative thinking and its compatibility with critical reasoning in philosophical dialogue?
\nAesthetics and Flourishing: In what ways do aesthetic experiences in the philosophy classroom foster a sense of meaning\, connection\, and student growth? What specific qualities\, structures\, or pedagogical conditions must an aesthetic experience possess to facilitate philosophical learning and student growth? How does engaging the aesthetic dimension within philosophical inquiry contribute to student well-being\, eudaimonia\, and the holistic flourishing of the child?
\nTheoretically-Grounded Aesthetic Intuition: What theoretical resources are needed to make sense of practitioner intuitions that the best philosophy classrooms have an aesthetic quality that exceeds their argumentative content?
\nEmpirical Research and Implications: How do aesthetic considerations bear on ethical\, civic\, and epistemic education\, and what are the implications for classroom practice? How might empirical research illuminate the presence and significance of aesthetic experience in classroom philosophical dialogue? \;
\nDiverse Aesthetic Traditions: What can non-Western aesthetic traditions or Indigenous perspectives on beauty and experience bring to philosophy in schools? What aesthetic injustices have occurred because of the emphasis on beauty and other Western aesthetic traditions? What barriers to entry are generated by the perceived &ldquo\;gatekeeping&rdquo\; of Western concepts of aesthetics? \;

Gastrospaces: Towards a Theory and Research Programme for Food and Space
\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.

\nOpen Theology (https://www.degruyterbrill.com/journal/key/opth/html) invites submissions for the special issue &ldquo\;Religious Art and Power &ndash\; Contestations and Affirmations\,&rdquo\; edited by Lá\;szló\; Koppá\;ny Csá\;ji and Má\;rk Nemes (Research Institute of Art Theory and Methodology\, Hungarian Academy of Arts\, Budapest\, Hungary).
\nDESCRIPTION
\nInterlacing culture and society\, religious art has traditionally been a hub of social reflections. A field of creativity\, intuitive expression\, professionalism\, communication\, and even social agency\, religious art appears in many forms of expression and activity. It can be studied &ldquo\;through the prism of the genre\,&rdquo\; as Leonard Primiano suggests\, using the frameworks of architecture\, dress\, photographs\, artifacts\, narratives\, bodily communication\, and even dance\, music\, or song. Artistic expressions often incorporate reflections on power\, whether affirmative and legitimizing or critical and resistant\, even on the level of vernacular religiosity. Religion and power also have a complex relationship and interaction\, as professional religious art&mdash\;whether at the level of the individual\, the religious community\, or society at large&mdash\;has the capability to address contemporary issues of &ldquo\;mundane&rdquo\; power. Within these frameworks\, urgent issues such as climate change\, crises\, war\, migration\, and social discrimination can also be addressed. However\, art is not merely a tool for expressing a critical position and commentary on social\, cultural\, and political power\, but can function as an agent that shapes and affirms it.
\nThis special issue of &ldquo\;Open Theology&rdquo\; seeks novel approaches to these intertwined subjects\, with a thematic focus on how power\, authority\, and agency play out at the vernacular and institutional levels\, and on how power is bestowed\, legitimized\, and subverted through social and spiritual frameworks.
\nWe encourage submissions on inductive\, fieldwork-centered research\; theoretical overviews of the relationship between art and power applied to case studies\; and critical methodological reflections on prior research or approaches on the subject group. Submissions should aim to articulate proposals with real traction&mdash\;normative and operational&mdash\;attentive to feasibility\, measurable change\, and transferability.
\nSubmissions should primarily (but not exclusively) address the following questions:
\nWhat kind of discursive practices appear in religious art?
\nWhat is the role of emotions and the senses in legitimizing or subverting forms of power and authority?
\nHow do new media and new technologies shape religious artistic practices by empowering marginalized voices\, deconstructing traditional hierarchies\, or creating alternative narratives?
\nHow do performative approaches in religious practices play a crucial role in expressing\, shaping\, or contesting religious authority or power?
HOW TO SUBMIT
\nSubmissions will be collected until 15 September\, 2026\, via the online submission system

\n\nDear Colleagues\,
\nWe are pleased to invite submissions for a conference on "Security-Relevant Research in Academia: Debates\, Definitions\, and Best-Practices\," taking place 5&ndash\;6 November 2026 at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)\, Germany:
\nDate: 5-6 November 2026
Location: Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)\, Germany
Submission Deadline: 15 September 2026
Contact: scott.robbins@kit.edu
Universities stand at the critical intersection of open inquiry and societal responsibility. The ongoing war in Ukraine has illustrated how rapidly scientific advances can be repurposed for conflict\, raising the stakes for research touching on national security\, cryptography\, dual-use technologies\, and emerging weapon systems. To address these challenges\, we invite submissions for a conference dedicated to exploring the complex area of Security-Relevant Research (SRR) within higher-education institutions.
\nWe seek contributions from scholars\, administrators\, ethicists\, defense professionals\, policy makers\, and engineers/technology developers that examine the fundamental questions surrounding SRR. We are particularly interested in papers that address:
\nWhile advocates argue that academic freedom fuels innovation and that university-based research offers transparent\, ethical alternatives to opaque military labs\, critics warn of accelerating arms races\, the exposure of students to dual-use dilemmas\, and conflicts of interest with defense sponsors. This workshop aims to navigate these tensions\, fostering a dialogue that balances innovation with ethical stewardship.
\nSubmission Guidelines
We invite abstracts of 300&ndash\;500 words (excluding references) that propose a paper for presentation. Submissions must include the author's name and affiliation. Please send your abstracts via email to scott.robbins@kit.edu by 15 September 2026.
Presentation Format
Selected authors will be invited to present their work during the workshop. Each presentation will be allocated 20 minutes\, followed by 10 minutes for Q&\;A and discussion.
Publication Opportunity
A primary goal of this workshop is to synthesize the insights\, case studies\, and draft guidelines generated during the event. Following the conference\, all participants will be invited to submit their full manuscripts for consideration in a special issue dedicated to Security-Relevant Research in Academia. We will have more information about this in due time.
This conference is supported by BMFTR\, as part of the "MilEth" project (Military Defense Technologies and Ethics).

\nEdited by Christine Tappolet and Christian Nadeau
\n**The deadline for submitting proposals has been extended to September 15\, 2026.
\nThe Centre de recherche en é\;thique (CRÉ\;) invites you to submit a manuscript for publication in the first special issue of its new journal Res Practica\, to be launched formally in the Fall of 2026 and which will replace Les Ateliers de l'é\;thique / The Ethics Forum. This special issue aims to explore the plurality of forms that responsibility takes in our individual\, social\, and institutional practices. Drawing on multidisciplinary perspectives by bringing together expertise in moral and political philosophy\, political science\, and legal theory\, our objective is to examine the concepts of moral responsibility\, political responsibility\, and legal responsibility.
\nWe especially welcome contributions that interrogate the points of convergence and divergence between these different kinds of responsibility: their foundations\, their attribution criteria\, their functions within our normative practices\, and the tensions they may generate in contemporary contexts.
\nAs the journal is fully bilingual\, submissions may be in either French or English. The articles will be accompanied by a short abstract in the other language.
\nWe invite the submission of research articles (8\,000 to 12\,000 words) addressing questions related to moral\, political\, and legal responsibility\, as well as issues at the intersection of these fields\, including but not limited to the themes listed below:
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Moral agency\, psychological capacities\, and responsibility
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Responsibility attributions\, reactive attitudes\, and emotions
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Responsibility\, blame\, and punishment
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Defenses and apologies
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Responsibility for non-voluntary attitudes (beliefs\, emotions\, etc.)
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Moral constructivism and moral responsibility
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Disagreements in responsibility attributions and the question of relativism
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Legal responsibility: criminal vs. civil
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Moral guilt and legal guilt
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Punishment and liability
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Legal doctrines of control\, fault\, and risk
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Corporate responsibility and institutional responsibility
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; The responsibility gap and artificial intelligence
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Punishment and responsibility
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Collective and individual responsibility
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Collective agency and excuses
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Political responsibility vs. social responsibility
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Tensions between moral and legal responsibility
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Reducing one kind of responsibility to another
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Collective and individual responsibility
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Group agency and intentionality
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Responsibility toward future generations
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; The political responsibility of states and social responsibility
\n\;
\nSubmission Guidelines
\n\;Submitted manuscripts may be in French or English. They should be between 8\,000 and 12\,000 words\, including references and footnotes. Manuscripts must be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 200 words and must be anonymized in preparation for double-blind peer review.

\nAbout Res Practica
\nThe aim of Res Practica is to create a space for fruitful exchange between experts from a variety of disciplines whose work focuses on\, or has implications for\, ethical\, political\, and more broadly normative questions. One important goal is to further our understanding of practical problems that confront both individuals and societies by uncovering philosophical assumptions often left implicit. Another goal is to encourage exploration of innovative solutions to normative dilemmas that confront individuals and societies\, in order to provide original and informed ethical guidelines and public policies. Res Practica will invite authors to reach across traditional disciplinary divides\, and to explore the multiple ways in which experts from a variety of academic disciplines\, including but not restricted to moral and political philosophy\, applied ethics\, political sciences\, and law\, can cast mutually enriching light upon pressing practical questions. Res Practica is also committed to promoting exchanges between experts writing in different languages. While we will begin with English and French\, we hope\, over time\, to broaden the range of linguistic traditions that can find a home in our pages.
\nRes Practica&rsquo\;s editors in chief are Christine Tappolet (Université\; de Montré\;al)\, Daniel Weinstock (McGill University) and Samuel Dishaw (UCLouvain).

Commitment\, Individual and Collective

\nInvited Speakers:
\nCheshire Calhoun\, Arizona State University
\nSarah Stroud\, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
\nCall for Papers - Deadline Extended to June 26th
\nCommitment is central to both individual and collective agency. Given its central place\, it is unsurprising that it features in diverse philosophical discussions\, such as in discussions of trust\, group membership\, shared and co-operative activity\, partiality\, identification\, and meaningfulness in life. And yet\, in much philosophical literature commitment is relegated to the background of discussion. \;We invite abstracts that foreground and directly address any aspect of committing and commitment. Among questions that might be addressed are the following:
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \;What is it to commit?
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \;What are commitments?
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \;What kinds of thing can one be committed to?
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \;What is the value of commitment?
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \;Under what conditions should one remain committed or abandon a commitment?
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \;What are collective commitments?
\nWe will select 4-5 abstracts for presentation at the workshop. Abstracts should be no more than 1\,000 words excluding bibliography. They should be anonymized and sent to: \;philosophyofcommitment@gmail.com \;by June 26th (please note the new extended deadline). Decisions will be made by July 3rd.
\nPlease send questions to \;arto.laitinen@tuni.fi \;or \;lilian.obrien@tuni.fi.

Such theories face a fundamental objection: the objection from forms of flourishing that are bad for their possessor. But they give rise to an important challenge: what could welfare possibly be\, if it is not a way of being good? In response\, we can separate two ideas that such theories combine. One is the idea of flourishing as successful activity sustained through the mutually supportive operation of an individual&rsquo\;s component parts. The other is the idea of fulfilling the capacities that are distinctive of the life-form to which the individual belongs. Non-humans can flourish in the first way only if they flourish in the second. But humans are different\, since we can set our own goals. Your welfare is your flourishing\, not as a human being\, but as you.

\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.

UID:20260910T135925Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6cf9979bf7-fp9jc TZID:Europe/Lisbon LOCATION:Lisbon\, Portugal DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, the debate on normativity has benefited from work at the intersection of different philosophical disciplines. Most notably\, epistemologists have drawn on moral and legal theory to shed light on the grounds of epistemic normativity (Hannon &\; Woodard 2026)\, the nature of epistemic blame (Brown 2020\, Piovarchy 2021\, Boult 2024)\, epistemic accountability (Kauppinen 2026)\, and to better understand the distinctiveness of epistemic justification and excuse (Greco 2021). Within aesthetics\, several philosophers have recently tapped into similar sources to assess ideas such as aesthetic obligation (Kubala 2020\, Whiting 2021)\, aesthetic blameworthiness (Kubala 2024)\, and aesthetic motivation (King 2018). In political philosophy - where the idea of a distinctively political normativity is still under assessment (Leader Maynard &\; Worsnip 2018\, Gadomski 2025) - epistemic insights have been brought to bear on crucial normative notions such as legitimacy (Peter 2023)\, as well as on more applied issues(Edenberg &\; Hannon 2021).
\nFor this workshop\, we invite papers developing this productive cross-pollination to address foundational issues about specific normative domains and clarify the relationship(s) between them. Submissions should include an anonymized abstract of no more than 800 words (references excluded)\, and a title page with authors&rsquo\; info and affiliation.
\nSpeakers will be invited as contributors to a special issue\, to be proposed to a leading international journal.

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:20260910T093301Z DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Manila:20260922T234500 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Manila:20260922T234500 SUMMARY:11th De La Salle University Undergraduate Conference UID:20260910T135930Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6cf9979bf7-fp9jc TZID:Asia/Manila LOCATION:2401 Taft Avenue\, Manila\, Philippines\, 1004 DESCRIPTION:CALL FOR PAPERS: 11TH UPC

Book Launch Event: "Machiavelli and the Religion of the Ancients: \;Platonism and Radical Republicanism" In Conversation with Andrea Rizzi and Paul Muldoon
\nMiguel Vatter (Deakin University)
\nBlurb: \;Machiavellianism and Platonism are traditionally opposed\, as realism is to idealism\, and might is to right. This book questions this opposition\, arguing that Machiavelli is far more influenced by Platonism than by Epicureanism. The Platonism at the time of the Medici is marked by the reception of Arabic/Islamic and Byzantine interpretations of Plato. These portray Platonism as an expression of an &ldquo\;ancient theology&rdquo\; that offers an alternative to Christianity by undoing a stark opposition between faith and knowledge\; emphasising the political and state-founding role of prophets\; affirming the continuity between humans and animals\; and defending the rationality of divine and human law. Miguel Vatter contends that from these alternative approaches to Platonism\, Machiavelli draws a critique of both the Catholic Church and of Humanism\, rejecting their oligarchic tendencies in favour of a radical form of republicanism.
\nBio: \;Professor Miguel Vatter \;has a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the New School for Social \;Research\, and has held academic positions in political science and philosophy \;departments in the United States and in Chile\, as well as visiting \;professorships in Germany\, China and the UK. Before coming to Deakin he was Professor \;of Politics at Flinders and UNSW. He works in the areas of political and legal \;theory\, contemporary continental philosophy\, and intellectual history. \;His current areas of research and publication are Machiavelli\, Kant\, \;republicanism\, neoliberalism\, biopolitics\, political theology and planetary \;health.
\nThis event is in person at 3pm Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) 23 September 2026.

Bringing together philosophers\, historians\, anthropologists\, archaeologists\, and scholars of heritage and memory\, the event will provide a platform for critical engagement and dialogue on the ways in which the past is interpreted\, preserved\, and contested across disciplines and societies.
\nThe theme Contested Pasts\, Uncertain Future(s): Heritage\, Memory\, and History traces how societies construct meaning from experiences of destruction\, violence\, and loss\, and how these meanings shape collective identities and future imaginaries. In a world marked by genocide\, war\, cultural erasure\, and ecological devastation\, the conference seeks to question the moral and epistemic responsibilities involved in narrating and creating the past.
\nThe event aims to expand theoretical inquiry into heritage as a field of conflict and negotiation. Heritage is never neutral\; it embodies claims to ownership\, belonging\, and continuity\, often entangled with questions of displacement\, colonial legacies\, and political power. The conference will consider how indigenous and native communities struggle to sustain their historical lands\, languages\, and material cultures amid global pressures of appropriation\, modernization\, and erasure. These issues call for renewed philosophical engagement with the concept of heritage itself: its ontological foundations\, its ethical implications\, and its relation to historical justice.
\nThe conference will explore the intersection of heritage\, memory\, and historiography &ndash\; examining how material remains\, institutional frameworks\, and historical writing intertwine in shaping public understanding of the past. It will also address the challenges posed by relativism\, competing historical claims\, and the erosion of trust in expertise. By combining perspectives from philosophy\, history\, archaeology\, epistemology\, and art\, the event seeks to foster a conversation about the ethics of historical representation and the fragile relationship between knowledge\, authority\, and memory.
\nConfirmed keynote speakers:
