REMINDER Call for Papers (17th July) - Myth and the More-than-Human Community in the Twenty-First Century – Vienna, 8–9 October 2026

by Lukas Geiszler

Dear colleagues, with the deadline drawing closer, I would like to remind you of a Call for Papers that may be of interest to those working at the intersection of philosophy, religious studies, political theory, and more-than-human ecology. The workshop /Myth and the More-than-Human Community in the Twenty-First Century/ will take place on 8–9 October 2026 at the University of Vienna, with keynote lectures by Prof. Vanessa Lemm and Prof. Laurens ten Kate. The workshop asks whether community — and more-than-human community in particular — can be conceived as anything other than a myth. It places the constitutive ambivalence of myth at the centre of its inquiry: myth as ideological fiction on the one hand, and as a primordial, potentially non-hierarchical form of world-disclosure on the other. Topics include inter-species relations, ecological entanglements, becoming-animal, sovereignty and immunisation, and relational and Indigenous ontologies. Theoretical reference points include Derrida, Nancy, Latour, Haraway, and Nietzschean and post-Nietzschean critiques of humanism. Find the full CfP attached. Contributions may take the form of individual papers (20 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of discussion). Proposals should include the presenter’s name, paper title, full contact details, an abstract of 500 words, and a brief biographical note — submitted as a single PDF file. Deadline: 17 July 2026 Contact: myth.community(a)lists.univie.ac.at Website: https://phaenomenologie.univie.ac.at/forschung/myth-community/ Please feel free to share this call in your networks. Best wishes, Lukas Geiszler
