Intercultural Philosophizing: Theory and Practice,Working Group of the Vienna Society for Intercultural Philosophy,Winter semester 2022/2023

by Institut für Philosophie

Intercultural Philosophizing: Theory and Practice Working Group of the Vienna Society for Intercultural Philosophy Winter semester 2022/2023 Encountering Madness. Intercultural and Decolonial Approaches to the Phenomenon of Mental Illness A cooperation between WIGIP, IWK and the Department of Philosophy at the University of Vienna INVITATION ►30.11., 18.30 (6:30 pm CET), Institut für Wissenschaft und Kunst (Berggasse 17, 1090 Vienna) · Lecture in English · please register under: office(a)wigip.org (the registration is not mandatory, but helpful for the organization) Dr. Susannah Deane (University of Bristol, UK): Mind, Body, Spirits: Tibetan Notions of the ‘Subtle Body’ and its Implications for the Causation and Treatment of Mental Illness Integral to Tibetan understandings of mind and body, and humans’ relation to the wider world, are two key concepts. Firstly, the notion of loong – ‘wind’ energy which circulates through the body as a key component of the ‘subtle body’ system – is fundamental to Tibetan understandings on mind-body structure and functioning, particularly in relation to the mind and consciousness. Secondly, the relationship between humans and the wide variety of spirits and deities seen to populate the landscape is important in understanding Tibetan notions of health and good fortune. Both are predicated on an understanding of a rather ‘porous’ boundary between the self and the outer world, and within this, Buddhism provides not only a way to manage these local spirits and deities, but also designs practices which utilise this subtle body system to manipulate the mind and body towards enlightenment. All of these factors become key when we explore Tibetan notions of mental health and illness. Where spirits and deities may be implicated in the causation of madness and other illnesses and misfortunes, they can also be controlled by skilled Buddhist practitioners, who may even utilise them in their Tantric practices in their pursuit of enlightenment. Equally, while the manipulation of bodily wind currents forms an integral part of Tantric practitioners’ Buddhist practices, unintended disruptions in their flow – including as a result of conducting such practices incorrectly – is seen to have implications for an individual’s mental health. This paper explores the diverse understandings of causation and treatment of ‘madness’ and other mental health difficulties which result from these Tibetan notions of mind, body, and spirits.

[Call for Papers] Democracy and Radical Imagination: Castoriadis Revisited

by Sergej Seitz

Liebe Kolleg:innen, Anbei darf ich Sie auf einen CfP zur politischen Philosophie von Cornelius Castoriadis aufmerksam machen. Mit besten Grüßen Sergej Seitz Call for Papers Democracy and Radical Imagination: Castoriadis Revisited International Workshop University of Vienna, Department of Political Science May 25-26, 2023 Organized by Sara Gebh & Sergej Seitz | ERC Research Project Prefiguring Democratic Futures That democracy is in crisis is a truism today. In recent years, many commentators have identified the disintegration of truth and facts as the core threat to democratic societies, and accordingly call for restoring our political sense of reality. In turn, this workshop proceeds from the conviction that we face at least as severe a crisis of our political sense of possibility: a crisis of political imagination. It has become increasingly difficult to even imagine democratic politics and democratic futurity differently, that is, significantly departing from the status quo of the minimal model of present, liberal western democracy. The infamous TINA dictum emblematically attests to the outright rejection of political creativity under the hegemony of neoliberal capitalism. While democratic creativity withers away, progressive change seems to be outsourced to the field of technology, in terms of planned and anticipable ‘innovation’. This is all the more fatal in times of ecological disaster, where democratic political action is increasingly challenged by calls for establishing ‘authoritarian environmentalism’, often accompanied with technocratic ideas of climate engineering. To explore paths for restoring and enlivening political imagination and our political sense of possibility, it seems apt to (re)turn to the work of Cornelius Castoriadis. Nearly half a century after the publication of his magnum opus The Imaginary Institution of Society (1975), it is not only time to take stock and evaluate the relevance and productivity of his political philosophy for present discussions. Rather, with his distinctive account of democracy as autonomous self-institution and his notion of radical imagination at the heart of the political, Castoriadis’s thought may deliver conceptual tools and theoretical frameworks that help foster new, radical democratic imaginaries. Against this background, the workshop proposes to revisit the work of Castoriadis in order to explore how, to what extent, and in which respects it can be utilized or updated for tackling the crisis of imagination. To this end, the workshop convenes interdisciplinary participants from philosophy, political science, and sociology, rallying around the main question of whether Castoriadis’s thinking allows us to establish a notion of democratic imagination and/or democratic imaginaries fit for the challenges of the present. Central Questions 1. Theorizing Democratic Imaginaries: Recently, there has been a lot of research on different types of imaginaries, as for instance the broad discourse on ‘socio-technical imaginaries’ in science and technology studies. Following Castoriadis, we propose to explore the notion of ‘democratic imaginaries’: What are the components of a democratic imaginary? How can a specifically democratic imaginary be distinguished from other kinds of political imagination? In what ways can a democratic imaginary be revived, and how does it have to be adapted, in times of (political, ecological, military, pandemic) crises? 2. Rethinking History as Creation: Based on Castoriadis’s critique of a Marxist theory of history, we invite contributions that investigate his view of history as ‘creation and destruction’. What is the role of the past in creating alternative visions of the future? How can we acknowledge history as made and always in-the-making without rendering its meaning fully contingent? What are the hidden potentials of conceiving the history of ideas, specifically, not as an unambiguous recounting of the past, but as a resource for keeping alive the self-instituting impulse of society? 3. Widening (Counter-)Institutional Imagination: Castoriadis decidedly opposes functionalist theories of political institutions. Instead of analyzing institutions merely in terms of their instrumental rationality and stabilizing function, he points us towards the ways in which institutions incorporate, reflect, and reproduce imaginary meanings. In this vein, we want to ask—empirically and theoretically—how both established institutions as well as activist counter-institutions constrain and expand the horizon of political imagination. What kinds of concrete institutions or institutional features widen our sense of possibility today? Format We strive towards creating a true workshop-atmosphere that allows for a serious, productive, and collaborative engagement with each other’s work. Workshop participants send in working papers (approx. 5000 words) in advance (deadline: April 30, 2023) and each participant prepares a commentary on one of the other papers. Each session begins with a brief opening statement by the author(s) on the background of the text (5 min), followed by a commentary (10 min) that opens the general discussion of the text. Venue and Accommodation The workshop will take place in-person at the University of Vienna. Online participation is not possible. There is no participation fee. The organizers are happy to give recommendations regarding travel arrangements. In individual cases, assistance with travel expenses may be provided. Publication We plan to publish the workshop’s proceedings as a special issue in a peer-reviewed journal and/or in an edited volume. Timeline Submission deadline: December 31, 2022 Communication of results: January 31, 2023 Deadline for working papers: April 30, 2023 Submission & Contact Please send your application with an abstract of max. 500 words and a brief biographical note to sara.gebh(a)univie.ac.at<mailto:sara.gebh@univie.ac.at> and sergej.seitz(a)univie.ac.at<mailto:sergej.seitz@univie.ac.at>.

Encountering Madness. Intercultural and Decolonial Approaches to the Phenomenon of Mental Illness ►11.11., 18.30 | Mitha Karim: Mental Health and Muslim Communities

by EDV Philosophie

Lecture Series Winter semester 2022/2023 *Encountering Madness. Intercultural and Decolonial Approaches to the Phenomenon of Mental Illness* Organization: Cristina Chitu, Manu Sharma & Murat Ates A cooperation between WIGIP, IWK and the Department of Philosophy Lecture 11.11.2022, 6:30 pm, Location: Institut für Wissenschaft und Kunst (Berggasse 17, 1090 Vienna) *Mitha Karim (Edinburgh): Mental Health and Muslim Communities * Abstract: Within any culture, there are paradigmatic views of personal and communal experiences and understanding of social and natural phenomena. This includes frameworks of understanding what is viewed as “mental illness”. Whilst a sociopsychobio framework is largely the model used to address mental health and illness amongst allopathic practitioners, it is important to recognise that the lived experience and therefore the understanding of experiences by individuals is influenced by cultural frameworks. In relation to Muslims, conceptualisations of mental health and illness is often viewed and discussed in the literature in terms of “cultural formulations”, with an almost Other-ed approach in viewing traditional and spirito-cultural models of understanding mental health. That said, this approach neglects recognition of the diaspora of Muslim communities, that faith is practised across various cultural milieus and the therefore reductive nature of a monolithic approach, and that social and contextual factors can influence discourse on mental health. This talk discusses contemporary approaches and debates pertaining to “Muslim mental health” – noting common models of understanding of psychopathology, various frameworks and coping strategies, and problematises current approaches and whether they are adept/fit for Muslim communities. It also considers current movements to “decolonise” mental health from the Muslim framework, addressing intra-community debates pertaining to Muslim mental health, as well as problematising current approaches to addressing mental health needs amongst Muslim migrant communities.

Amalia M. Rosenblüth-Dengler: virtuelle Ausstellung https://ub-view.univie.ac.at/events/phil_rosenblueth_2022/

by Sonja Fiala

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren! Für alle, die gestern nicht dabei sein konnten, haben wir eine virtuelle Ausstellung erstellt: https://ub-view.univie.ac.at/events/phil_rosenblueth_2022/ Vielen lieben Dank an mein Kamerateam und ganz besonders an Martin Ellinger, der für uns die virtuelle Ausstellung erstellt hat. Liebe Grüße und ein schönes Wochenende Sonja Fiala Von: Sonja Fiala Gesendet: Montag, 10. Oktober 2022 11:33 An: hermes(a)lists.philo.at<mailto:hermes@lists.philo.at> Betreff: Reminder: Herzliche Einladung zur Buchpräsentation Amalia M. Rosenblüth-Dengler (1892-1979) 27.10.2022 18h Liebe Institutsangehörige! Wir laden Sie herzlich ein zur Buchpräsentation Amalia M. Rosenblüth-Dengler (1892-1979) Philosophin und Bibliothekarin. Biografische Spuren eines Frauenlebens zwischen Aufbruch und Resignation https://bibliothek.univie.ac.at/events/005799.html Wann: Donnerstag, 27. Oktober 2022, 18:00 Uhr Wo: Lesesaal der Fachbereichsbibliothek Philosophie und Psychologie Begrüßung Sonja Fiala, Leiterin der Fachbereichsbibliothek Philosophie und Psychologie, Universität Wien Einleitung Elisabeth Nemeth, Institut für Philosophie, Universität Wien Buchvorstellung Ilse Korotin, Institut für Wissenschaft und Kunst, Wien Enthüllung der Gedenktafel Im Anschluss laden wir zu einem Glas Sekt. Zum Buch: Amalia Rosenblüth wurde am 10. Mai 1892 in Sanok, Österreich-Ungarn, im heutigen Polen geboren. Sie war die älteste von vier Geschwistern und wuchs in einer wohlhabenden und bildungsfreundlichen Familie auf. Sie studierte in Lemberg und Wien Philosophie und dissertierte "Über das sogenannte disjunktive Urteil in der neueren Logik" bei Adolf Stöhr. Jahrelang arbeitete sie unbezahlt am Philosophischen Institut als Bibliothekarin sowie als Assistentin ihres Mentors und Doktorvaters. An eine Anstellung in der Lehre war für eine Frau zu jener Zeit und besonders in Wien nicht zu denken. Als wissenschaftliche Bibliothekarin hatte sie wenigstens die Möglichkeit, im universitären Umfeld zu arbeiten und sich zu vernetzen. Im Zuge der Neubesetzung der philosophischen Ordinariate 1922 mit Robert Reininger, Moritz Schlick und Karl Bühler organisierte sie die Neuaufstellung der Bibliothek und hielt auch Lehrveranstaltungen ab. Mit der Formierung des Wiener Kreises, der für Offenheit und Pluralismus stand, war Interdisziplinarität gefragt und mit ihr die Expertise zahlreicher Wissenschafter*innen. Amalia Rosenblüth zählte zu den bekannteren Frauen im Wissenschaftsbetrieb ihrer Zeit. Ist sie doch auch eine der Unterzeichner*innen eines Dankesschreibens an Schlick, als dieser sich entschloss, seinem Lehrstuhl in Wien treu zu bleiben. Ab 1937 verlor Rosenblüth ihre Anstellung an der Universität. Mit der Machtergreifung der Nationalsozialist*innen wurden ihre Schwester, eine Freundin und deren Tochter, mit der sie zuletzt zusammenlebte, deportiert und ermordet. Sie selbst tauchte unter dem Decknamen Margarete Dengler unter. Erst 1947 emigrierte sie in die USA, wo sie als Bibliothekarin arbeitete, zunächst am Idaho State College und schließlich an der University of Washington in Seattle, wo sie bis zu ihrem 84. Lebensjahr verblieb, unter anderem auch als Mitarbeiterin des austro-amerikanischen Psychoanalytikers René A. Spitz. Eine Rückkehr an die Universität Wien scheiterte trotz vieler Fürsprecher*innen am Unwillen der Hochschulleitung. Dass es gerade und immer wieder Bibliotheken waren, in denen Frauen und Wissenschafter*innen einen Platz fanden, die aus der universitären Lehre ferngehalten wurden, ist ebenso tragisch wie bemerkenswert. Ohne akademische Anerkennung und Sichtbarwerdung blieb auch Amalia Rosenblüth und geriet darüber fast in Vergessenheit. Dem wirkt die Dokumentationsstelle Frauenforschung mit ihren Publikationen nun entgegen. Die Autorin: Prof.in Dr.in Ilse Korotin, MA leitet die Dokumentationsstelle Frauenforschung sowie das multi-modulare Dokumentations-, Forschungs- und Vernetzungsprojekt "biografiA. Biografische Datenbank und Lexikon österreichischer Frauen" am Institut für Wissenschaft und Kunst.

MPhil/PhD studies in Philosophy at Lingnan University, 2023-24 Intake

by Institut für Philosophie

*Pursuing MPhil/PhD studies in **Philosophy**at Lingnan University**, 2023-24 Intake*** I would like to bring to your attention a very attractive PhD programme that the Research Grants Council (RGC) of Hong Kong has established, i.e. /Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS)/, and it would be great if you could kindly help to share this information with your students and graduates who may be interested. The Scheme is aimed at attracting the best and brightest students from around the world to come for PhD studies in Hong Kong, and I very much hope to have one of yours pursuing this degree with us at Lingnan. Each Fellowship awardee will be provided with an annual stipend of HK$325,200* (approximately US$41,690) and a conference and research-related travel allowance of HK$13,600* (approximately US$1,740) per year by the RGC. In addition, awardees’ full tuition fee for the first year of study will be waived by the University. The intention is to make this Scheme prestigious and highly international, hence hopefully attractive to you and your students/graduates. Lingnan, a global leader in quality education and high impact research, is Hong Kong’s liberal arts university, whose relatively smaller size, top international faculty and strong emphasis on close staff and student relationships offer a unique environment for the pursuit of advanced studies in this vibrant and energetic city. It ranks 3^rd for “Quality Education” for two consecutive years in /THE University Impact Rankings/ 2021 and 2022. In the latest Research Assessment Exercise 2020 conducted by the University Grants Committee, Lingnan’s research in humanities, business and social sciences was classified as “World Leading” (4 star) and “Internationally Excellent” (3 star); while some research disciplines under business and social sciences also came 1^st or 2^nd among all public universities in Hong Kong in terms of the percentage of “World Leading” research work.The University offers MPhil and/or PhD programmes in the Arts, Business, Science and Social Sciences disciplines. Our top value is student-centred learning, which ensures close and supportive thesis supervision. At Lingnan, students establish peer-type working relationships with world-class scholars who offer expert and close-contact supervision in their respective areas. Our compact working environment where research students relate as peers with world-class scholars has enabled Lingnan to maintain an excellent track record in the HKPFS. To offer more diversified learning opportunities, especially for interdisciplinary research studies, Lingnan has been offering a number of full-time PhD programmes in collaboration with Mainland universities since the 2021-22 academic year. More collaborative programmes with Mainland/overseas universities are currently in the pipeline. For further details, please visit our website at www.LN.edu.hk/rpg/admission/list-of-programmes <http://www.LN.edu.hk/rpg/admission/list-of-programmes>. The Department of Philosophy at Lingnan currently has 17 faculty members. Their expertise covers all of the main areas in philosophy, including aesthetics, epistemology, ethics, metaphysics, history of Chinese philosophy, logic, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of science. The work of Lingnan philosophers has been published by leading publishers (e.g. Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press) and in top journals//(e.g./British Journal for the Philosophy of Science/,/Ethics/, /Mind/,/Noûs, Philosophical Quarterly, Philosophical Studies, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research/,//and/Philosophy of Science/). Further information on our current staff list and interests can be found at www.LN.edu.hk/philoso/?page_id=9 <http://www.LN.edu.hk/philoso/?page_id=9>. Given the breadth and high quality of research done by Lingnan philosophers, the Department is one of the best places in Asia for undertaking doctoral studies in philosophy, especially in analytic philosophy. The department is a place of lively philosophical exchanges in our regular staff seminars and even more in informal and frequent discussions.

Einladung zum Forum für Analytische Philosophie

by Institut für Philosophie

Hello! My name is Martin and I’m currently the chair of the Vienna Forum for Analytic Philosophy <http://wfap.philo.at/>. We are a student-led organization that meets once a week to discuss philosophy papers on a topic that we decide on once a year. At the end of the academic year, we also organize a graduate conference <http://wfap.philo.at/index.php/conferences/11th-wfap-graduate-conference/> on that topic. This year’s topic is *“Attention and Salience”* and we will meet for the second time this year on *Friday, October 28 at 18:30 in 3F (3rd floor) at the NIG (Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien)*. The time and location will stay the same throughout the academic year. Subscribe to this mailing list <https://lists.univie.ac.at/mailman/listinfo/forum>to get the papers we are reading every week. This week’s text will be attached to this e-mail. So if you want to hang out with friendly people and discuss some philosophy of mind and action, please stop by and say hello! It’s really no problem if you don’t have any prior knowledge on the topic – we don’t either, that’s the whole point! It’s also no problem if you haven’t read the text, we’ll go through it anyways! So really, no need to worry. Just show up and say hello! Looking forward to seeing you! Martin
