Dear All
Drawing from best practices at Racism - Critical working group at the
department of African Studies, we are planning to found our own working
group on the topic of racism, especially in the university context. You
can find more information of the group here:
https://afrika.univie.ac.at/en/about-us/wg-against-racism/
In line with this, we invite you to join us for a first meeting and
discussion organised with UPSalon. The working group highly encourages
participation from all levels. This will be a yet informal group of
people who care about and are interested in taking up the topic of
racism in the university ecosystem. This working group is concerned with
the kinds of work, ideas and activities that improves awareness,
enhances visibility, initiates discussions and interventions among all
levels and practices of the institution. You can look at the website
attached for a brief orientation.
It is important to re-iterate, that our goal in doing this is to create
a working group that shares a relationship of care with the issue of
racism and it is not a career-building exercise. This also implies that
racism needs to be recognised as an issue that affects us all and yet,
those experiencing racism might also be people to keep in mind as
central to expertise seeking, intervention making and delegation of
authority. The hope is to have something that can be made continuous at
the Philosophy department regardless of the presence of specific
members.
Please write to UPsalon <upsalon.philosophy(a)univie.ac.at> by 23rd of
June if you would like to be a member of this group. We are planning our
first meeting at the end of June/ beginning of July at the UPSalon
Stammtisch with the goal of discussing aims, plans and ideas.
We look forward to seeing you at the discussion.
Best
Manu

PHILOSOPHIEN DER KOMPLEXITÄT
Die Sommerakademie „Philosophien der Komplexität“ besteht in einem
explorativen Reflexionsraum, dessen Ziel es ist, auf die wesentlichen
Merkmale der Komplexität tiefgründig einzugehen. Erscheinungen der
Komplexität in den sozialen Systemen werden explorativ beobachtet und
analysiert zwecks Erlangung eines Verständnisses von angesprochenen
Herausforderungen, die zu einer handlungsmächtigen Ethik und einer neuen
Organisation des Denkens führen.
Komplexität steht heute für die Bezeichnung einer schwer begreifbaren
Situation. Sie hat damit zu tun, dass die globalen Ereignisse und
Probleme, die sich in einem großen Rahmen (Pandemie, Krieg, ökologische
Krise) abspielen, eine unmittelbare Wirkung auf die lokale Ebene
ausüben. Sie scheinen unvorhersehbar und unbestimmbar. Große
Unvorhersehbarkeiten machen die Entscheidungen schwierig. Vor der
Überwältigung durch komplexe Probleme wird eine KI-Maschinerie erstellt,
um Lösungen für komplexe Systeme zu finden. Allerdings bleibt die
Unkenntnis immer noch eine Frage, die der Komplexität innewohnt und
nicht von einem technischen Mittel gelöst werden kann. Insofern hat die
Sommerakademie das Ziel, Komplexität nicht nur begreifbar zu machen,
sondern die Handlungsfähigkeit aller sozialen Akteur*innen bewusst zu
machen und ein agiles Denken zu fördern.
Die Komplexität stellt heute die Frage, wie Ordnungen bzw. neue
Ordnungen aus der Verflechtung von miteinander interagierenden Elementen
hervorgehen. Diese Frage wollen wir in der Sommerakademie behandeln, mit
besonderer Aufmerksamkeit auf: Wer trägt die Verantwortung für neue
komplexe Ordnungen? Welche Erkenntniswege sind vorhanden und möglich,
mit denen soziale Agenten die miteinander verflochtenen Phänomene, die
die heutige soziale, ökonomische und ökologische globale Lage bestimmen,
bewältigen können? Das Ziel dieses Projekts ist es, über die
Epistemologie aktueller, sehr herausfordernder sozialer und
wissenschaftlicher Paradigmen der Komplexität zu reflektieren.

*PHILOSOPHIES OF COMPLEXITY*
The Summer Academy "Philosophies of Complexity" consists of an
explorative space of reflection that aims to delve deeply into the
essential features of complexity. Phenomena of complexity in social
systems will be exploratively observed and analysed in order to gain an
understanding of the challenges raised, leading to an actionable ethics
and a new organisation of thinking.
Complexity is now used to describe a situation that is difficult to
understand. It has to do with the fact that global events and
large-scale problems (pandemics, wars, ecological crises) have an
immediate impact at the local level. They appear unpredictable and
unknowable. Unpredictability makes it difficult to make decisions.
Before being overwhelmed by complex problems, AI machines are being
created to find solutions to complex systems. However, uncertainty
remains an inherent problem of complexity and cannot be solved by
technical means. In this respect, the Summer Academy aims not only to
make complexity comprehensible, but also to make all social actors*
aware of their capacity to act and to promote agile thinking.
Complexity today raises the question of how orders or new orders emerge
from the entanglement of interacting elements. We want to address this
question in the Summer Academy, with a particular focus on: Who is
responsible for new complex orders? What ways of knowing are available
and possible for social actors to manage the entangled phenomena that
define today's social, economic and ecological global situation? The aim
of this project is to reflect on the epistemology of current, highly
challenging social and scientific paradigms of complexity.

Vortrag auf Englisch
Abstract: In recent decades, marked by neoliberalism and increasingly authoritarian transformations in societies and government, global violence against women has also increased dramatically. A “global war on women” marks a political shift in patriarchal understanding of power. Women’s killings cannot be considered in private and sexual, but in political categories, with the aim of perpetuating the claims to power of male alliances.
Rita Laura Segato is an Argentinian-Brazilian academic who has been called ‘one of Latin America's most celebrated feminist anthropologists’ and ‘one of the most lucid feminist thinkers of this era’. She is known especially for her research on gender in Indigenous villages and Latin American communities, violence against women and the relationships between gender, racism and colonialism. One of her specialist areas is the study of gender violence. Recent publications include: La crítica de la colonialidad en ocho ensayos. Prometeo Libros. 2016; La guerra contra las mujeres. Tinta Limón - Traficantes de sueños. 2017; Mujeres intelectuales: feminismos y liberación en América Latina y el Caribe. Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales – CLACSO. 2017 (co-authored); Más allá del decenio de los pueblos afrodescendientes. Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales – CLACSO. 2017 (co-authored); Contrapedagogías de la crueldad. Prometeo Libros. 2018.

Dear colleagues and friends,
This is a gentle reminder of our conference "International Planning for
Freedom. Otto Neurath's democratic planning theory in the context of the
climate crisis". The program and abstracts can be downloaded via this link:

International Conference:
International Planning for Freedom. Otto Neurath's democratic planning
theory in the context of the climate crisis
A cooperation between Institute Vienna Circle (University of Vienna),
Vienna Circle Society (Vienna), Chamber of Labor (Vienna), FWF Project
Isotype. Origin, development, legacy (P 31500), Wien Museum.
Only a few years ago it was hardly imaginable that demands for planned
economy measures would be raised and publicly discussed again. Now the
time has come. Ulrike Herrmann's book "Das Ende des Kapitalismus. Warum
Wachstum und Klimaschutz nicht vereinbar sind – und wie wir in Zukunft
leben werden" (2022) is a bestseller. Her central thesis is discussed in
numerous public media: The transition from growth-dependent capitalism
to a social and ecological circular economy will only be possible
through a "private planned economy".
What she understands by this has striking similarities with the ideas of
economic planning that Otto Neurath conceived even before the First
World War and continued to develop until the end of his life in 1945. An
important point of reference for Neurath was Josef Popper-Lynkeus. The
latter justified the demand for overall social planning with a radically
individualistic ethic. Seen from today, this combination is surprising
and inspiring - not least because Popper-Lynkeus and Neurath were among
the first to introduce ecological viewpoints into economics.
A highlight of the conference will be the screening of the film "Land of
Promise" (UK 1946). The film was conceived by Neurath as a "film
argument" and directed by Paul Rotha. It argues for combating the
housing shortage in post-war England with extensively planned housing
programme. The arguments put forward in the film bear a remarkable
resemblance to the arguments Ulrike Herrmann puts forward today for a
"private planned economy" as a transition to a circular economy.
