Tema: "Tras el búho de Minerva. Escritos sobre filosofía del derecho"

Institución: Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso - Centro de Estudios Hegelianos
Deadline: Envío de trabajos hasta el 10 de junio.

El Comité Editorial de la Revista Estudios Hegelianos, junto al Centro de Estudios Hegelianos de Valparaíso y al Postgrado en Filosofía de la Pontificia Universidad Católica, invitan a participar de la convocatoria para contribuir con el tercer número de la Revista a publicarse en septiembre del 2013. Para esta ocasión hemos pretendido enfocar la convocatoria en investigaciones actuales e innovadoras emergidas desde las más diversas realidades iberoamericanas en torno a las posibilidades, complejizaciones y debates que podrían abrirse mediante una relectura, reinterpretación y reinvención de la Filosofía del derecho [Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts] de Hegel, publicada en 1821.

El presente estado de las condiciones sociales, económicas, culturales, territoriales y políticas a nivel mundial, sustentadas por una crisis sistemática y estructural del modelo neoliberal actualmente hegemónico, nos impele cotidianamente a pensar desde los más diversos escenarios y situaciones nuevos modos de relaciones intersubjetivas de todo tipo: ¿En qué puede aportarnos una relectura interpretativa de este texto fundamental de Hegel? ¿En qué puede aportarnos una reinvención del texto que trascienda los límites de una hermenéutica analítica? Este es el desafío de gran parte de la tradición filosófica en su relación con el presente, más en un estado permanente de eticidad desgarrada, como planteaba Hegel frente a la supeditación de las relaciones intersubjetivas sociales a las relaciones económicas atomizadas.

De este modo, por las páginas de la Filosofía del derecho recorre el fantasma de las relaciones sociales en oposición a las relaciones atomizadas, la producción social y la economía privada, la actualidad de los Estado-nación y el colonialismo, la función de la cultura en la cohesión comunitaria, el rol del Estado, corporaciones y gremios en la construcción de comunidad, y un amplio número de temas y temáticas cuya actualidad productiva radica en la modalidad según la cual las nuevas investigaciones, emergidas desde la necesidad de las contingencias, puedan establecer nuevos criterios, parámetros y proyectos para el siglo XXI. Dejamos, de este modo, abierta la invitación a pensar desde los prismas más diversos las condiciones necesarias para una reelaboración de las relaciones sociales.

El detalle de la convocatoria y las normas de publicación se encuentran disponibles en www.revistaestudioshegelianos.cl. El tercer número de la Revista será publicado en nuestra página web el día 10 de septiembre.

The 19th International Conference of the Friedrich Nietzsche Society

Título: The 19th International Conference of the Friedrich Nietzsche Society
Tema: "Thus Spoke Zarathustra: Gateway to the Oeuvre (and Opening to the East?)"
Fechas: 20 al 22 de septiembre de 2013
Organiza: Friedrich Nietzsche Society
Lugar: University College Cork, Ireland
Idiomas: Inglés
Deadline: Envío de sumillas hasta el 31 de marzo de 2013

 

 

Call For Papers
This will be the first conference of the Society to focus, in part, on a single work of Nietzsche’s: his own favourite, Also sprach Zarathustra. Given Nietzsche’s high opinion of this book (‘the profoundest book there is’), it’s surprising how many commentators prefer to avoid discussing it, usually on the grounds that it’s ‘too literary’ and ‘not philosophical’ enough. One question behind the choice of this work as a focus for the conference is thus: ‘How does Nietzsche’s philosophy look when it’s approached through this particular book?’ Preference will be given to papers that treat Zarathustra as a prism for Nietzsche’s other works.

 

As globalisation proceeds apace, Nietzsche scholarship in Asian countries continues to burgeon, and he becomes an ever more important reference point for those in the West who want to access Asian philosophies. A secondary theme (reflecting the interests of the UCC Philosophy Department) will be the relations of Nietzsche’s philosophy to Asian thought, as they emerge from Zarathustra and/or his other works. The purpose of the conference is thus twofold: to appraise Zarathustra as a centrally (if also eccentrically) philosophical work, and also to assess the value of comparative or intercultural approaches to Nietzsche’s philosophy from Asian perspectives.

 

The 2013 conference will follow the standard FNS conference format of five parallel sessions and five plenary sessions with well-known speakers in the field.

Plenary Speakers

• Keith Ansell-Pearson (University of Warwick)
• Bret Davis (Loyola University, Baltimore)
• Volker Gerhardt (Humboldt Universität, Berlin)
• Kathleen Higgins (University of Texas at Austin)
• Paul Loeb (University of Puget Sound)
• Graham Parkes (University College Cork)
• (Davis and Parkes will do a joint session on Zarathustra and Zen Buddhist thought)

The Friedrich Nietzsche Society welcomes proposals for 30-minute papers on all topics bearing on the conference themes, including the following:

• Zarathustra as an essentially philosophical work
• Zarathustra as a gateway into Nietzsche’s entire oeuvre
• Zarathustra: incipit tragoedia or incipit parodia?
• The relation between the figure of Zarathustra and Nietzsche
• Zarathustra: Dionysos or Kant?
• The figure of woman in Zarathustra
• Animality in Zarathustra
• Metaphor and concept in Zarathustra
• Nietzsche’s unique vocabulary in Zarathustra
• The problem of communication in Zarathustra
• Rhetoric and mythology in Zarathustra
• The composition and structure of Zarathustra
• Benefits of approaching Nietzsche (and Zarathustra) from an Asian perspective
• Benefits of approaching Asian thought from a Nietzschean perspective

Papers on other key figures and/or themes in Zarathustra are also welcome. Preference will be given to papers that treat Zarathustra as a prism for Nietzsche’s other works.

Abstracts (max. 400 words) should be submitted by March 31 2013.
They should be sent as attachments to friedrich.nietzsche.society@gmail.com.

Nietzsche und Wagner. Perspektiven ihrer Auseinandersetzung
Internationaler Kongress vom 17. bis 20. Oktober 2013 in Naumburg (Saale)

Die Begegnung zwischen Wagner und Nietzsche war von epochaler Bedeutung. Ihre Beziehung prägte ein Ringen um die Bewertung von Kultur und Kunst (in) der Moderne, hat die weltanschaulich-künstlerischen Kämpfe im 20. Jahrhundert nachhaltig beeinflusst und ist bis heute von ungebrochener Brisanz. Anlässlich von Wagners 200. Geburtstag widmet sich der Kongress der Vielfalt ihrer Standpunkte, die die Rezeption ebenso inspiriert wie provoziert haben. Zunächst gemeinsamen Idealen verpflichtet, kam es durch Nietzsches Abkehr von Schopenhauer und durch Wagners musikästhetische Entwicklung zu entschiedener Gegnerschaft. Neben Nietzsches massiver Bayreuthkritik gab es Differenzen über die Rolle des Chores in der griechischen Tragödie, das Verhältnis von Wortsprache zu Tonsprache, die Konzeption eines Gesamtkunstwerks sowie über den Begriff autonome Musik. Kulminationspunkt der Unversöhnlichkeit war der Parsifal: Wagners Kniefall vor dem Religiösen und seine Apotheose des Mitleids verfestigten die Gegensätze. Durch die Etablierung des Festspielbetriebes in Bayreuth hatte er sich von einem Kunstschaffen, das für eine in die Zukunft weisende Kultur stehen sollte, verabschiedet. Unstreitig ist dabei, dass Nietzsche den Komponisten und Musikdramatiker als einen Glücksfall seiner Kulturkritik der Moderne gesehen und inszeniert hat. Der Kongress widmet sich der Aktualität ihrer philosophisch-ästhetischen und kulturellen Debatten.

Phenomenology’s Presence: The 4th Annual University of Sussex Graduate Conference in Phenomenology. June 13th – 14th 2013

 

Evento: 4ta. Conferencia anual de fenomenología de los graduados de la Universidad de Sussex

Tema: Presencia y ausencia en la fenomenología

Fechas: 13 y 14 de junio de 2013

Lugar: Universidad de Sussex, Inglaterra

Deadline: Envío de ponencias hasta el 7 de abril de 2013

 

 

 

What is presence for phenomenology? Where is phenomenology, at present? Does phenomenology privilege presence? And what of absence?

 

We are welcoming submissions for the 4th annual University of Sussex graduate conference in phenomenology. The themes of the last three years have progressed through phenomenology’s beginnings, ends, and methodology. This year the conference will approach the ambiguous status of phenomenology’s presence.

 

We invite abstracts from those working in, around, or critically engaging with phenomenology, broadly construed. We also encourage abstracts from those working outside philosophy departments. This is in keeping with the theme of the conference in that we hope to question the typical place and presence of phenomenological research.

 

Husserl’s famous battle cry calls thinking to return to the ‘things themselves’, that which is given, or that which presences and is present. Yet, this very challenge, the question of presence, has drawn quite different responses from those thinkers who have engaged with the inheritance of phenomenology. Now more than ever, phenomenology must contend with a scientific world view which describes the world by that which is withheld and yet underpins all that is given. Does phenomenology present an alternative? Should it? Or is the future of phenomenology more one of absence than presence?

 

This conference provides graduate students the opportunity to present for twenty minutes and receive questions and feedback for an additional twenty minutes each. It is a two-day conference, organized by graduate students for graduate students. It is organized as a single ‘stream’, ensuring that every speaker has the opportunity of addressing all delegates. We aim to bring together postgraduates engaging in original research on phenomenology and related branches of philosophy and to promote contemporary studies in this field.

 

Keynote speakers:

 

- Professor Béatrice Han-Pile (University of Essex, UK)

- Professor Robert Bernasconi (Pennsylvania State University, US)

 

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

• Phenomenology and temporality
• Phenomenology and truth
• The presence or absence of phenomenology in other disciplines (aesthetics, ethics, cognitive science, politics, psychoanalysis, etc)
• Phenomenology and absence (death, loss, sleep, the unconscious)
• The presence or absence of phenomenology in academic philosophy today
• The “metaphysics of presence”
• Phenomenology and ambiguity
