Trans*Formations Workshop with Juliana Gleeson, 15.10.

by Flora Löffelmann

Dear all, it is a pleasure to invite you to the next installment of the Trans*Formations event series at the department of philosophy. This talk and workshop series organized by the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy provides insights into recent developments in trans* philosophizing. When & Where: October 15, 16:45 to 18:15 at HS 3A, NIG, Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien Intersex: Beyond Introductions! A Book Presentation on _Hermaphrodite Logic_ This workshop will showcase the key arguments made by Juliana Gleeson's new book _Hermaphrodite Logic_ (published June 2025): 1) That intersex advocacy followed on rapidly from intersex people meeting one (on and offline) another in the early 1990s. 2) That this new intersex movement developed in conjunction with feminist research, offering a moment of self-consciousness that was spoken to by intersex advocacy's rhetoric, and wit ("90s edgy"). 3) That their protests from 1996 to the present served as a revelation, which challenged professional authority (specifically claims to clinical "management"), and objectivity, and rewrote the history of sex (in ways still being processed today). Along the way, participants will be challenged in turn, with regards to "intersex" being a topic that requires continual introduction. Gallows humour guaranteed. Juliana Gleeson is a writer and reader raised in west London, who now lives in east Berlin. Her first edited collection was the pioneering anthology _Transgender Marxism_ [1] (2021), which she oversaw with Elle O'Rourke. Well noted for her love of two word titles, her first book _Hermaphrodite Logic_ [2] was published this summer--addressing the history and style of the intersex movement. She's currently writing three follow-ups: a co-written philosophical manuscript _Dyke Dialectics_, a collection of dialogues about sex hormones, and a brief book on femininity's substance. If you would like to participate in the workshop (which will be in English), please send an e-mail to flora.loeffelmann(a)univie.ac.at. No prior knowledge needed for participation, and students and staff of all levels are welcome. There will be snacks and drinks! After the workshop, participants are cordially invited to join for the presentation of Gleeson's book [3], organized by Referat Genderforschung, which will take place 19:00 at Kolingasse 14-16. _Please save the date for the two next events of Trans*Formations this fall:_ "Einführung in trans Philosophie" - Talk & Workshop mit Gen Eickers und Sigmond Richli, 18.11., 16:45-19:00, HS 3A im Rahmen der Trans* Awareness Week 2025 (auf Deutsch) "Trans*Modernität, Trans*Kolonialität?" - Workshop mit Jonah I. Garde, 11.12. 16:45-18:18, HS 3A (auf Deutsch) Attached, you find both a poster for the upcoming workshop and the events ahead - feel free to print and circulate them! Looking forward to seeing you at the event!

CfP: SI on Logical Empiricism and Austrian Economics

by Alexander Linsbichler

*Call for Papers* *Studies in History and Philosophy of Science* *Special Issue: Adverse Allies: Hidden Harmonies Between Logical Empiricism and Austrian Economics* Logical empiricism and Austrian economics are arguably the two internationally most influential intellectual movements with Viennese roots. The Vienna Circle and the Viennese School of economics have shaped the world-wide development of philosophical, methodological, scientific, and political debate. Yet, despite numerous connections and interactions between the two movements, their relationship has captured surprisingly sparse attention in historical and philosophical scholarship. If an account is provided at all, logical empiricists and Austrian economists are portrayed as philosophically, scientifically, and politically antithetical groups. Recent scholarship has challenged this received view of opposition by reconstructing hitherto neglected compatibilities and similarities between the two movements. This special issue collects historical as well as systematic contributions that highlight and discuss hidden harmonies between logical empiricism and Austrian economics while acknowledging remaining disagreements. Contributions that fruitfully inform contemporary debates in philosophy, methodology, politics, or the sciences are particularly welcome. Deadline for Submissions: 30.11.2025 You can find more information on the special issue here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/special-issue/325033/adverse-allies-hidden-ha… Workshop Adverse Allies I in Vienna (February 2025): https://homepage.univie.ac.at/alexander.linsbichler/?p=176 Workshop Adverse Allies II in Linz (September 2025, registration for online participation closes 19.09.2025): https://www.jku.at/institut-fuer-philosophie-und-wissenschaftstheorie/adver… *Alexander Linsbichler* Institute of Philosophy and Scientific Method (Johannes Kepler University Linz) alexander.linsbichler(a)jku.at Department of Philosophy ( <https://ufind.univie.ac.at/de/person.html?id=47545>University of Vienna) <https://ufind.univie.ac.at/de/person.html?id=47545> alexander.linsbichler(a)univie.ac.at *neu erschienen: Viel mehr <https://www.vandenhoeck-ruprecht-verlage.com/detail/index/sArticle/57805/sC…>als nur <https://www.vandenhoeck-ruprecht-verlage.com/detail/index/sArticle/57805/sC…>Ökonomie <https://www.vandenhoeck-ruprecht-verlage.com/detail/index/sArticle/57805/sC…> (Böhlau, 2022)*
