CfP: Creative Bodies—Creative Minds conference, University of Graz, 25-26 March 2024

by Flora Löffelmann

Call for Papers Creative Bodies—Creative Minds The third international, interdisciplinary conference in gender research 25-26 March 2024, University of Graz, Austria Organized by: Sociology of Gender section, Department of Sociology, University of Graz, Austria; FH JOANNEUM– University of Applied Sciences Graz; Centre for Southeast European Studies, University of Graz. Theoretical discussions on creativity in the last two decades have addressed existing dichotomies in its conceptualization, such as professional/everyday and public/private. Cultural studies have then been critical of creativity being approached in terms of the individual talent and elite (“creative class”), in economic terms (“creative industries”) or in terms of exclusive locations (“creative city”)[1]. Gender scholars, in the meantime, have levelled criticism at the gendered definition of creativity, too often conceived as a property of a lone male genius, and at the gender bias of research on creativity that had tended to overlook activities in which women typically engaged [2]. Currently, in the European cultural/political space we witness a rise in the use of diverse artistic, creative, and playful tactics and practices in protests and everyday activism which challenge structural inequalities intersecting gender, class, race, ethnicity, sexuality, age and (dis)ability. Such examples of creative expression, including arts, crafts, participatory practices, and/or aesthetic interventions in public space [3], and in feminist and queer politics, in particular (e.g. “craftivism” [4], “artivism”[5]) challenge the common understanding of what constitutes political, as well as creative activities. Likewise, studies on socially engaged art in Southeastern Europe that have conceptualized “creative work […] as a labor of care and compassion” [6] make us think beyond the ideas of creativity in terms of individual self-expression. The third Creative Bodies—Creative Minds Conference 2024 will explore the gendered and political aspects of current, historical or everyday creative practices. DIY-making, as a form of everyday creativity, carries a different meaning in different political regimes (such as in the former Eastern Bloc, liberal market democracies, or post-colonial context). Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns exemplify how everyday creative practice is/was an adaptive response to external circumstances. We witnessed how digital media enabled sharing of creative responses to the constraints, including the use of humor (“from zines to memes”) to cope with the situation, express care and solidarity, and maintain relationships. We are interested in exploring creative adaptations to external circumstances across different political, economic and gender regimes. Keynote speakers: Věra Sokolová, Department of History, Charles University, Prague Milica Tomić, Institute for Contemporary Art, Graz University of Technology The areas of interest for the CBCM 2024 conference include, but are not limited to: * creativity and intersectional activism; * arts, crafts, play as activist and political tools; * reparative cultural and political practices; * creative living as an adaptation to different biopolitical regulations; * (everyday) creativity across different political, economic and gender regimes; * creative labor (precarity, rethinking work/productivity, collective organizing); * creative, playful, fun and politicized use of space and time (e.g. festivals, parks and clubs); * intersectional activism and digital media; * humor, playfulness and fun in feminist and LGBTQ+ activism; * creativity as care for others, collective and solidary creativity; * DIY, maker movement: from knitting, through home-making to open source; * material, processual and relational aspects of creative practices; * the place of creative methodologies and creative research in teaching and scholarly research in social sciences and humanities. We are inviting proposals for presentations from scholars, practitioners and postgraduate students from a wide range of disciplines including, but not limited to: sociology, cultural studies, anthropology, human geography, political science, gender studies, art, performance, history, literary studies, social studies of science and technology and environmental studies.

APSE Talk by Peter Vickers on June 1st

by Franziska Reinhard

Dear all, we cordially invite you to the next talk of the APSE lecture series, delivered by Peter Vickers (Durham University). Title: The Institute of Ascertaining Scientific Consensus, or, How to Measure Scientific Community Opinion and Influence People When/Where: Thursday, June 1^st , 3-5pm, HS 2H, NIG Abstract: A solid, international scientific consensus is the best signal humanity ever gets that a specific scientific statement articulates an “established scientific fact”. It is thus surprising that there currently exists no good way to measure the strength of scientific consensus regarding a specific statement of interest. Indeed, scientists themselves don’t know when a claim can be called a ‘fact’ (as Ernst Mayr used to complain, and as one IPCC author recently complained). A good method for quickly, efficiently assessing mass scientific opinion is urgently needed, especially given the rise in ‘fake news’ and misleading information in the public sphere. Perhaps most significantly of all, recent studies have demonstrated the power of expert-community consensus information to correct misconceptions of laypersons, and, crucially, impact upon relevant choices and actions of those laypersons (such as getting vaccinated against COVID-19). The Institute for Ascertaining Scientific Consensus (IASC) seeks to become humanity’s premier means for measuring scientific community opinion on a given statement of interest. In June 2023 it conducts its first mass survey, targeting 20,000 scientists across 30 different academic institutions. Best wishes, Franziska Reinhard (on behalf of the APSE unit)

APSE Talk - Ariane Hanemaayer - 25.5. - Where it hurts: Making Pain Medicine

by Sophie Juliane Veigl

Dear all, we cordially invite you to the upcoming talk of the APSE - lecture series, delivered by Ariane Hanemaayer (Brandon University) Title: Where it hurts: Making Pain Medicine When/Where: 25.5., 15-17pm, HS 2H If you are interested in joining us for dinner/drinks afterwards, write me an email (sophie.juliane.veigl(a)univie.ac.at)! everyone welcome! Abstract: What makes pain problematic? The nature of pain is contested, and over the 20th century, researchers from biomedical fields as diverse as surgery, anesthesiology, physiology, and neurology have sought to develop a unified theory to represent its causes and effects. In the clinic, the status of pain is subjective. Over the last century, many efforts have been made to raise awareness of the under-examined aspects of pain and to objectify it through the standardization of its measurement. There remains, however, a gap between the knowledge of and intervention on pain that has troubled the evidence-based medicine paradigm. In this presentation I explain the nature of this gap as a result of particular discursive and institutional relations. In particular, I focus on the rise of clinical pain measurement scales alongside the professionalization of the subspecialty of pain medicine. Drawing on material from a broader genealogical project on the biomedical sciences of pain, I argue that the techniques of pain management were developed in relation to a particular shift in the notion of clinical judgment within the medical discourse. I will situate this knowledge development within the broader societal and institutional events that rendered pain problematic, focusing on the establishment of the first pain clinic in the USA and the International Society for the Study of Pain. Kind regards, Sophie Veigl on behalf of the APSE-Unit -- Dr. Sophie Juliane Veigl, BSc., BA., MSc., MA.

Call for Participation - InterGender Course ""Learning to Read Differently" - October 2023

by Institut für Philosophie

Dear all, together with several people all over the university and Manu Sharma from our own institute, I am organizing an InterGender – International Consortium for Interdisciplinary Feminist Research Training course for PhD and late stage MA students, which will happen in October and is entitled "Learning to Read Differently". You can even get 7,5 or 10 ECTS credits for it! Here's a short description: Much academic work relies on existing texts and their interpretation. As scholars, we necessarily build on these knowledges transmitted to us by others in order to try to better understand power relations and their modes of action, to form our own arguments based on the texts, to make sense of certain social phenomena and to contribute to thinking_feeling about the world. All too often, this process of reading becomes so normalized that we hardly think about the consequences and premises of these practices of reading themselves. Therefore, we want to dedicate this PhD and MA course to the goal of “Learning to Read Differently”. Throughout the course, we will engage not only with how we read “texts” as they are commonly understood, but also with how we interpret the fabric of reality and the situations and phenomena we encounter in our research and beyond. Together, we want to explore what we choose to read or not to read, as well as the political implications that arise from these practices. Thus, the course aims to support participants in exercising reading practices and research methods that enable them to critically reflect upon the “standard” practices usually governed by white euro-anglo-centric academia, to challenge them, and to try out different approaches. Deadline for application is June 18, 2023. We invite all those who are interested to apply, and are happy if you also widely share this call with others! All the best, Flora -- Flora Löffelmann, MA MA University assistant & doctoral candidate Department of Philosophy at University of Vienna Pronouns: they/them (for more info see: https://www.mypronouns.org/what-and-why/) Happy about a gender neutral "hello"!

WORKSHOP INVITATION Pragmatic-Academic Event (VDP and UPsalon): "Combatting Gendered Exclusions - Good Practices for Philosophers"

by Institut für Philosophie

Dear all, UPsalon and the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy cordially invite you to a jointly organized pragmatic-academic event: "Combatting Gendered Marginalization and Exclusion - Good Practices for Philosophers". The workshop will be facilitated by Stephanie Deig (University of Lucerne). When: May 23rd, 4-6pm Where: VinziRast-Lokal mittendrin This workshop is open to persons of all genders working and studying at all levels of the department. We especially invite people with extensive teaching experience to share their perspectives and experiences on gendered exclusions and bystanding in academic settings. Please sign up to the workshop via the following link: https://forms.gle/6Dw4oDWibNCWCRTX7 Note that we only have 20 open spots; we will allocate them via a “first come, first serve” system. Brief workshop description: “The field of academic philosophy has a serious problem with the under-representation of women as well as persons who do not identify with the gender assigned to them at birth. This is due to structural forms of gendered marginalization and exclusion that create unsafe and harmful environments. In the first part of this workshop, participants will be introduced to how specific mechanisms, such as implicit bias, stereotype threat, as well as sexual and moral harassment manifest within philosophical settings: working, teaching, and learning, and how transforming certain conditions and practices could help combat them. In the second half of the workshop, participants will be given a theoretical introduction to bystander interventions and be encouraged (but not required) and given space to share their own experiences relevant to these questions to create awareness and discuss potential strategies that could be enacted locally. We will conclude by using these experiences as a basis for discussion about how bystanders can safely and productively intervene in instances of gendered wrongdoings. Even though the workshop focuses on gender-based exclusions, the convener seeks to create a space for discussing marginalization from an intersectional perspective." If you have a topic that you’d particularly like to discuss or are interested in contributing to the workshop, please contact Stephanie Deig at: stephanie.deig(a)unilu.ch Stephanie Deig, MA, is a PhD Candidate at the University of Lucerne. She is a co-founder of two organizations that have worked to combat gendered inequalities in the academic field of philosophy in Switzerland and is active as a board member with The Society for Women* in Philosophy Switzerland." Here you can find the link to the Good Practice Guide that Stephanie bases the presentation on (it is in DE and EN). https://www.swipswitzerland.org/good-practice-guide+ And here the event description on our website: https://upsalon.univie.ac.at/events/ Kind regards, Sonja (on behalf of UPsalon) -- Sonja Riegler, BA BA MA She/They Prae Doc Philosophy University of Vienna

Conference: International Planning for Freedom. Otto Neurath's democratic planning theory in the context of the climate crisis. June 12-13

by Elisabeth Nemeth

Liebe Kolleg*innen, liebe Freund*innen, wir möchten Euch herzlich zu unserer Konferenz "International Planning for Freedom. Otto Neuraths demokratische Planungstheorie im Kontext der Klimakrise" einladen. ELisabeth Nemeth & Günther Sandner (Organisator*innen) Dear colleagues, dear friends, we would like to cordially invite you to our conference "International Planning for Freedom. Otto Neurath's democratic planning theory in the context of the climate crisis". Elisabeth Nemeth & Günther Sandner (organisers) 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.

CEU event: The Problem of Evil, Jorge Secada, 9th May

by Sigrid Preissl

Dear all Jorge Secada will give a talk at CEU on 9th May: The Problem of Evil Abstract The paper first suggests a problem threatening any version of the problem of evil (that is, or arguments purporting to show that either God cannot exist or that it is improbable that God exists, given the existence of evil or of some particular instance of evil). The ultimate aim of the paper is to recast replies to the problem of evil away from theodicies or justifications.

ÖAW: Hermann Cohens Persönlichkeit, 05.05.2023, 17.30Uhr

by Institut für Philosophie

Hermann Cohen (1842-1918) war ein leidenschaftlicher Philosoph. Seine Leitfiguren waren Platon und Kant, Bachja Ibn Pakuda und Maimonides. Er war transzendentaler Idealist, Sozialist und als Jude ein am Gebetbuch orientierter Reformdenker. Seine intellektuelle und rhetorische Brillianz, seine Liebe zur Sache und der tiefe Ernst waren unangefochten, auch seitens derer, die ihm widersprachen. Cohen lehrte ab 1873 an der Universität Marburg, zuletzt an der jüdischen "Lehranstalt" in Berlin. Er hinterließ ein umfangreiches Werk, darunter ein mehrteiliges System der Philosophie und epochemachende Entwürfe jüdischer Theologie. Der Vortrag wagt eine Skizze dieser eindrucksvollen Persönlichkeit. Dr. phil. habil. Hartwig Wiedebach habilitierte sich an der Universität Kassel. Er lehrte bis 2019 Philosophie an der ETH Zürich, leitete das Hermann Cohen Archiv und ist Mitherausgeber der Werke Cohens. Vorher 12 Jahre Tätigkeit in der Sozialpsychiatrie. Bücher u.a.: The National Element in Hermann Cohen's Philosophy and Religion (2012); Pathische Urteilskraft (2014); Cohen im Kontext (mit H. Assel 2021). 17.30 BEGRÜSSUNG w. M. Helmut Denk | Altpräsident der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, Präsident 2009–2013 und Medizinische Universität Graz, Obmann der Kommission für Geschichte und Philosophie der Wissenschaften der ÖAW w.

TALK: Rachel Ankeny and Audrey Henry: 'Evolving Models for Co-Production of Marine Science Knowledge in South Australia' (October 20th, 12:30-2pm CEST)

by Martin Kusch

Dear All, The Philosophy Department of the Central European University, the Institute Vienna Circle and the Unit for Applied Philosophy of Science and Epistemology (of the Department of Philosophy of the University of Vienna) are jointly organizing a series of talks this term: https://wienerkreis.univie.ac.at/news-events/apse-ceu-ivc-talks-wintersemes… The next talk will be Thursday, October 20th, 12:30-2pm CEST. The talk will be online only. The speakers will be Rachel Ankeny and Audrey Henry (University of Adelaide). The title of the talk is: 'Evolving Models for Co-Production of Marine Science Knowledge in South Australia' (Abstract below) Online access (without registration): univienna.zoom.us/j/61475205762 You can also log into our meetings through the Zoom application (rather than by clicking the link above), by using the following credentials: Meeting-ID: 614 7520 5762 Password: 264065 No RSVP or registered accounts are required for online attention, it's enough to click on the link and enter your name. Chrome or Firefox browsers work best. Abstract: Australia presents a complex example of a locale where there is increasing awareness about the moral and legal requirements associated with benefit sharing and acknowledgment of traditional knowledge, particularly Indigenous knowledge sources. After a brief overview on the history and current status of Indigenous communities in Australia, we present a series of vignettes associated with marine research in South Australia where different types of engagement or collaborations have occurred between academic and governmental researchers and local Indigenous communities. We use these vignettes to problematise typical Western scientific methods of giving credit and including local and traditional knowledges as part of knowledge production methods in scientific research, and explore a broader range of options such as diverse forms of benefit sharing that in turn can support a more robust vision of what is epistemically and morally relevant in these domains. Everyone welcome! On behalf of the organizers, Martin Kusch --------------------------------------- Prof. Martin Kusch (he/they) Univ. of Vienna, Dpt. of Philosophy https://martinkusch.wixsite.com/website
