Derrida
Negotiating the Legacy
International Conference
Aberystwyth Post International Group (APIG), University of Wales
6.–8.1.2005 — Gregynog, Newtown (UK)
The death of Jacques Derrida represents an interruption in contemporary intellectual life. Knowing how to respond is somewhat difficult. On the one hand there are many dangers in speaking of his death in its immediate aftermath. But on the other hand there is a duty to allow his work to continue to speak. This is precisely a politics of mourning, which, in our view, demands immediate negotiation. We encourage paper proposals dealing with the implications of Derridean thought in the deliberately open contexts of: the 'political'; the 'ethical'; the 'historical'; the 'cultural'; the 'postcolonial'; 'identity'; and 'representation'.

Frieden
Eine philosophische Herausforderung?
Internationales Kolloquium
Kulturwissenschaftliches Institut Essen
RWTH Aachen
17.–20.2.2005 — Aachen (Deutschland)
In letzter Zeit haben sich viele Philosophen mehr damit beschäftigt, die Probleme der Rechtfertigung und Legitimierung gewisser Formen der Gewalt und des Krieges im Namen der Menschenrechte, der Gerechtigkeit oder einer Verantwortungsethik zu diskutieren, als den Frieden und seine Bedingungen zu denken. Im Hintergrund dieser Rechtfertigungsdiskurse schwingt zumeist ein Friedensbegriff mit, der "rein negativ" als bloße Abwesenheit von interkollektiven Gewalthandlungen oder schlicht als funktionierende Ordnung gedacht wird. Ist aber der Friede nicht mehr als bloße "Kampflosigkeit"? Diese Frage sollte entscheidend sein für ein erneutes und neues Denken des Friedens.

¿Ética sin filosofía o con filosofía?
I Coloquio Nacional del Colegio de Filosofía de la BUAP
Colegio de Filosofía y Centro de Investigaciones Filosóficas, Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP)
3.–4.3.2005 — Puebla (México)
¿Debe la ética hoy, en un mundo técnico y multicultural, acompañarse de una fundamentación filosófica? ¿Debe acaso apelar a la metafísica? ¿O es una ciencia particular autónoma, simplemente práctica, que puede prescindir de toda fundamentación filosófica? ¿Es la ética una ciencia particular o filosófica? ¿Es siquiera una ciencia? Quisiéramos que estos problemas se plantearan teniendo en cuenta nuestra existencia actual requerida por inéditas circunstancias técnicas, económicas, científicas y culturales.

Postmodernism, Globalisation and the Media
International Conference in Science and Humanities
Kogakuin University (Tokyo Urban Tech)
University of Limerick
Mudra Institute of Communication (MICA)
5.–7.3.2005 — Ahmedabad (India)
The conference wants to provide an overview of postmodernism with a focus on the arts and the media in the context of globalization. Papers are also invited from related areas. Given the global scenario today and the interplay of postmodernism in academic discourses, it is necessary to delve deeper into the realm of social sciences. The underlying themes of the India conference would be:
  • An enquiry into postmodernism in the realm of science and humanities in the context of globalisation
  • How the various dimensions of arts, cinema and the media are linked to the process
  • It is also proposed that there be a one day focus on the south Asia region; as the conference is being held in this region.

4th Annual Race and Place Conference
Department of History, University of Alabama
10.–12.3.2005 — Tuscaloosa, AL (USA)
The conference seeks to promote cutting-edge scholarship on the study of race and ethnicity, broadly defined, in a global context. We especially encourage papers examining how power and difference are imagined, configured, and contested, as well as critical explorations of collective cultural identities (including notions of race, ethnicity, nation, clan, lineage, family, and so forth) as these are created and negotiated across geographical, temporal, and ideological boundaries. Ideally, papers and panels will embrace a variety of theoretical and disciplinary perspectives beyond the narrowly historical.

  • Modernity and knowledge: how connections between ideas and information have been expanded and reshaped by new technologies of media, commerce and transport; and by distinctively modern spaces, from new cities to factories

Conference
The Reason of Terror
Philosophical Responses to Terrorism
Graduate Student Conference
Fordham University
University of Antwerp
17.–19.3.2005 — Antwerpen (Belgium)
What is the task of philosophy in an age of terror? Must philosophy be rethought, and if so, what resources are available? These questions are especially pressing for young philosophers whose foreseeable future will be shaped by a world no longer marked by the relative stability of identifiable states pitted against another. An asymmetrical world political situation requires new ways of thinking that look beyond deep-seated philosophical convictions.

The Wisdom of Love
2nd Biennial Conference
Society for Continental Philosophy and Theology (SCPT)
18.–19.3.2005 — Wheaton, IL (USA)
Continental philosophy of religion has recently turned to issues concerning love. We welcome papers that address such questions as: What is the difference between eros and agape? How do we practice love hermeneutically? Must a phenomenology of the other address love to be truly complete? Does love or charity reverse or radicalize intentionality? What is the relation of the three Christian virtues of faith, hope, and love? Are knowledge and love related?
We encourage papers that draw on such figures as Chrétien, Derrida, Irigaray, Kierkegaard, Levinas, and Marion; such philosophical traditions as deconstruction, feminist philosophy, hermeneutics, and phenomenology; and such religious traditions as Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.

Race and State
International Conference
Department of Sociology, University of Dublin
Race and Ethnicity Study Group, British Sociological Association (BSA)
Sociological Association of Ireland (SAI)
30.–31.3.2005 — Dublin (Ireland)
The conference intends to examine the connection between 'race' and state from political, sociological and historical perspectives with direct reference to the United Kingdom and Irish contexts. How do these two differing, yet historically interlinked, polities fit into both European and more globalised discussions of the linkages between 'race' and state? Papers may be theoretical and/or empirical but should engage with the proposition, central to the conference aims, that 'race' as a political idea and modern racism may not be fully conceptualised without consideration of the nature of the modern, Western state.

Identities
2nd Annual Conference
Centre for Liverpool and Merseyside Studies, Edge Hill
31.3.–1.4.2005 — Ormskirk, Lancashire (UK)
The aim of this interdisciplinary conference is to examine the ways in which overlapping and multi-faceted identities characterise or construct regions, communities, groups and individuals. Identities underpin economic, social, cultural and political events/trends and also colour our understandings of them. What aspects of our identities do we share, or not, with others and what has been the impact of this on the lives of individuals and societies? Papers might therefore be micro-studies or consider broad issues such as gender, racial or class identities in current or past societies.

Conceptualising Philosophy
Cave Hill Philosophy Symposium 2005
University of the West Indies at Cave Hill
7.–8.3.2005 — St. Michael (Barbados)
We are looking for papers that seek to address the nature of philosophy written from a wide range of perspectives: Analytic, Continental, Pragmatist, African, South Asian, East Asian, Caribbean, African American, etc. We are also interested in papers that seek to conceptualise regional variations of the field: e.g. 'What is Caribbean (or Indian, or Chinese, etc.) philosophy?'. We would hope, in particular, to see answers to these questions framed by appeal to topics in the various sub-disciplines of philosophy. We are interested also in theoretical work in disciplines that share a boundary with philosophy (such as linguistics, critical theory, cultural studies, or political theory) and which reveals the way philosophy can contribute to the discipline itself.
