Workshop: Conference Participation & Networking in Philosophy 16.10.24 - Pragmatic Academic Series

by Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy

Dear All, You are cordially invited to the next Pragmatic Academic Series workshop on the topic of Conference Participation & Networking in Philosophy directed at early-career philosophers. Date: 16.10.24 - 13:15-14:45 - Room 2G, Neues Institutsgebäude, Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien. Speakers: Cathy Mason, Martin Kusch Moderatior: Leah Ritterfeld Giving good talks in philosophy is challenging. There's so much to consider: the audience you're targeting, time constraints, how to make complex content or technical terms understandable, and many more factors. Academic conferences are also great places to network, so it's important to make a good impression! This workshop is an unmissable opportunity for early career philosophers to gain the knowledge they need to get the most out of academic conferences and build a strong professional network in philosophy. Assistant Professor Cathy Mason (CEU) and Professor Martin Kusch (UniWien) will provide clear guidance on selecting the most suitable conferences for your work, creating compelling abstracts, and delivering impactful talks. They'll also share their best advice for building professional relationships, getting the most out of conference attendance, navigating academic hierarchies, and developing inclusive networking practices. More information on the Pragmatic Academic Series workshops in the WS24/25 can be found at: https://vd-philosophy.univie.ac.at/events/details/news/pragmatic-academic-s… Best, Raphael Aybar

Invitation Conference "Foucault and Marx: Ambivalences, Legacies, and Future Struggles", October 18-19

by Ralf Gisinger

Dear colleagues, We'd like to invite you to the following conference at the department: _____________________________________________________________ Foucault and Marx: Ambivalences, Legacies, and Future Struggles University of Vienna 18-19 October 2024 The international symposium "Foucault and Marx: Ambivalences, Legacies, and Future Struggles" aims to explore the tense relationship between Foucault and Marx and, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Foucault's death in 2024, to put it into perspective with regard to Foucault's intellectual legacy. Foucault is generally perceived as a harsh critic of Marxism, both in terms of its analytical possibilities and political dangers. This contrasts strongly not only with Foucault's repeated emphasis on the centrality of Marx, but also with clear theoretical parallels. The subject of the symposium is therefore the question of how this ambivalence is to be understood, what it means for possible continuations of the Foucauldian project and to what extent the Foucault-Marx connection can be made fruitful for current and future questions. No pre-registration, no fees.

However, these discussions have become so rich and entangled that now we can speak of a confusing "plurality of [scientific] pluralisms" (Wylie 2015). The overall goal of this workshop is to examine and clarify different ideas of scientific pluralism. While proponents of scientific pluralism argue that pluralism offers a range of epistemic benefits which are conducive to scientific progress (Chang, 2012, 2022), pluralism not only comes with benefits but also with costs (e.g., Lari and Mäki 2024). This raises the question of the conditions under which pluralism contributes to scientific progress and those under which it may impede it. In addition to its role in promoting progress, the relationship between pluralism and the social and institutional organisation of science is also a subject of growing debate. Given that science is significantly shaped by social values (Longino 1990), scientific pluralism is increasingly discussed in the context of social and epistemic diversity as a crucial element for objective and inclusive knowledge production. One of the primary subjects to be addressed is that of how diverse research groups can fruitfully collaborate in order to foster scientific progress, and what part institutions play in this process. The workshop investigates the complex relationship between scientific pluralism, epistemic diversity and scientific progress, both theoretically and through the examination of case studies. The overall goal is to discuss whether pluralism hinders or contributes to progress, and to explore the roles of institutional and social structures in this dynamic. A particular focus is put on the social sciences, with an emphasis on the fields of psychology and economics, but case studies from any other field of science are very welcome. _Workshop Themes and Questions:_ We invite submissions that address, but are not limited to, the following questions and themes: _1. Pluralism and Scientific Progress:_ * Under what specific conditions does pluralism contribute to scientific progress, and in what contexts might it impede progress? * How do different forms of pluralism (such as methodological, theoretical, and epistemic) affect the course of scientific progress across various disciplines? * What kind of progress are we talking about in relation to scientific pluralism? _2. Epistemic Diversity:_ * What is the link between epistemic and social diversity and (value) pluralism? * How does epistemic diversity within research teams and scientific communities influence the generation of knowledge? * What are the benefits and challenges of fostering epistemic diversity in scientific research, particularly in the social sciences? _3. __Social Organization and Institutional Structures:_ * What roles do social organization and institutional structures play in fostering or hindering pluralism and epistemic diversity in scientific research? * What institutional measures can be implemented to overcome barriers and promote a more inclusive and cooperative scientific environment? _4. Case Studies:_ * Which scientific fields, e.g. in the social sciences, are particularly interesting for investigating the relationship between pluralism, epistemic diversity, and progress? What lessons can be learned from historical and current examples of pluralistic approaches in the various scientific fields? * What lessons can be learned from historical and current examples where plurality seems to be lacking? _Submission Guidelines:_ We welcome submissions from scholars at all career stages and specially encourage PhD students and early career scholars to submit their work. Abstracts should be no longer than 500 words, including references, and must be prepared for anonymous review. Please send your abstract (300-500 words) in PDF format to pluralism.workshop(a)uni-wuppertal.de by 15.11.2024. _Key Dates:_ * Submission Deadline: 15.11.2024 * Notification of Acceptance: 15.12.2025 * Workshop Date: 27.-28.3.2025 _Organizing Committee:_ * Jeremias Düring, University of Wuppertal * Anastasiia Lazutkina, University of Wuppertal * Charlotte Constanze Poller, University of Wuppertal _Keynote Speakers:_ * Anna Alexandrova (University of Cambridge) * Paul Hoyningen-Huene (Leibniz University Hanover) * Inkeri Koskinen (University of Helsinki) * David Ludwig (Wageningen University & Research) For further information, please visit our workshop website at https://grk2696.de/scientific-pluralism-workshop/.

If you require financial assistance for your travel expenses, please indicate this on your application so that we can try to make arrangements. We look forward to receiving your submissions and to a stimulating a productive workshop! ****************************************** (3) CALL FOR PAPERS (München, Deadline: 15.12.2024) Munich Colloquium for Philosophy of Religion 2025 Globalizing Philosophy of Religion LMU Munich, February 19-20, 2025 The Munich Colloquium in Philosophy of Religion is a forum for early career philosophers (PhD students and PostDocs) from all fields and backgrounds working on issues in philosophy of religion. It offers an open space to present and discuss the participants' current projects. The colloquium is organized jointly by the chair for philosophy of religion (Sebastian Gäb) and the Romano Guardini chair (Ana Honnacker). In recent years, philosophy of religion has more and more been confronted with the charge of having reached a dead end. Critics argue that as a discipline, philosophy of religion is preoccupied with Western theism in its most scholastic version, and that it ignores non-Western and non-theist forms of religion. Instead of studying just one particular religion, it is argued, philosophers of religion should rather devote their attention to the phenomenon of religion itself, in all its different manifestations. Consequently, traditional philosophy of religion should be replaced with a new, globalized philosophy of religion, as e.g. Victoria Harrison, or Yujin Nagasawa have argued. The colloquium will focus on all issues in connection with the concept of a globalized philosophy of religion, for example: what methods should philosophers of religion use when engaging with non-Western religions? Can the concept of religion be applied globally? How can it be distinguished from cognate concepts like philosophy, dharma, or dao? What does 'religion' mean anyway? How could philosophers of religion cooperate fruitfully with researchers from other fields like religious studies or cultural studies? Are there examples of a successful global approach to particular problems in philosophy of religion? Deadline for submissions: December 15, 2024 Please submit an abstract for your presentation (25 minutes + 20 minutes Q&A) as email attachment to: s.gaeb(a)lmu.de. Abstracts should not exceed 500 words (excluding references). Limited funds are available for travel support. https://www.philosophie.lmu.de/de/fakultaet/professur-fuer-religionsphiloso… ****************************************** (4) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Mainz und online, 14-15.11.2024) Normative Concepts in the Digital Age: Paradigm Shift or Piecemeal Engineering Wann und wo: 14. und 15.

Dies schafft Umstände, welche die philosophischen Grundlagen unserer ethischen, sozialen und politischen Urteile intensiven Prüfungen unterziehen. Die Integration digitaler Technologien in das Gefüge der Gesellschaft stellt uns vor neue Herausforderungen, eröffnet aber auch neue Möglichkeiten, normative Konzepte, die für viele philosophische Überlegungen zentral sind, neu zu untersuchen. Das Ziel dieser Konferenz ist es, Forscher:innen eine Plattform zu bieten, um das komplexe Zusammenspiel zwischen digitaler Technologie und normativer Philosophie zu untersuchen. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass wir für die Veranstaltungen eine Reihe hervorragender Sprecher:innen gewinnen konnten, unter anderem Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen, John Danaher und Karoline Reinhardt. Zum Abschluss des ersten Konferenztages wird die Pianistin Jennifer Klein im Kalkhof-Rose-Saal einen musikalischen Beitrag leisten. Das volle Programm findet sich unter https://normative-concepts-in-the-digital-age.org/#programme.

Invitation: Trans*formations talk by Eric Llaveria Caselles, October 18th 2024 - also ONLINE!

by Flora Löffelmann

Dear all, it is my pleasure to invite you to the third installment of the Trans*formations talk series organized by the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy at the Institute of Philosophy, University of Vienna, which provides insights into recent developments in trans* philosophizing. This time, Eric Llaveria Caselles, currently working at the Center for Interdisciplinary Women and Gender Studies (ZIFG) at the Technical University Berlin, will give a talk titled "Epistemic Violence and Trans Theory. A Cartography of Minor Truths." When: Friday, October 18th 2024 15:00 - 16:30 Where: HS 3B, 3. Stock Neues Institutsgebäude (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien If you want to follow the talk online, please join using the following link: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/67838003396?pwd=jmudw0UhAfnZdnkbYipm1ARVS0B28a.1 Kenncode: 0000 Abstract: For the transsexual subject to be able to emerge as a source of credible speech, a fundamental critique of the western epistemic and symbolic order had to gain traction. When Susan Stryker stood up at a Lesbian and Gay History conference in New York in 1995 and yelled “I am a transsexual and I am not sick!”, she reclaimed the participation of the transsexual intellectual in the production of truths, refuting discourses of dehumanization. This inaugural scene of Trans Studies places the undoing of epistemic violence as both a precondition and a fundamental commitment of trans theoretical practice. But what does this commitment to emancipatory forms of knowledge production entail? What are the contradictions of aspiring to anti-normative purity? What conversations can we build on the repeated condemnation of those reproducing symbolic violence? Does this commitment not miss the practical reason of cultural narratives? And is it possible to separate the epistemic violence from our sense of self, our needs and desires? Do the voices of trans people really hold the key to an emancipatory meaning? And if we betray the idea that we just need to let trans people speak, what then can hold the possibility of undoing epistemic violence? In this talk, I reflect on these questions based on my own research trajectory, which spans topics such as trans subcultural spaces, neuroscientific studies of (trans)gender identity and trans social reproduction in global capitalism. The talk traces the shifts of my theoretical practice by building a personal cartography of minor truths. I take the term “minor truths” from the title of a show by the artist Spence Messih. Their glasswork compositions and philosophical considerations introduce a phenomenological sensibility in my analysis, inspiring me to search for a language that reflects the inseparability of theoretical standpoint from affective states, social relationships and political conjunctures. In conversation with Messih’s work, the talk evolves in a non-linear motion connecting five modes of epistemic experience: abstraction, vulnerability, praxeology, dialogue and betrayal. Bio: Eric Llaveria Caselles is a PhD Candidate at the Center for Interdisciplinary Women and Gender Studies (ZIFG) at the Technical University Berlin. His recent publications explore the limitations of gender identity positivism and queer deconstructivism as the two main approaches to trans theory. His research builds on current trans Marxist proposals and historical materialist traditions of gender theory to set the groundwork for an alternative framework in Trans Studies.
