Beyond Signification. The Return of Reality and the Crisis of Poststructuralism

Graduate Conference Philosophy FU BERLIN

Today a growing number of people in the Humanities suggest that the times of poststructuralism have come to an end. According to them we concentrated on symbols, signs and discourse for far too long. Did we not thereby forget the reality of things? How do we account for the materiality of media, experiments, and writing? What happened to reality, substantiality and presence? This conference aims at discussing contemporary criticism of poststructuralism, its historical conditions, its impact on the present, and its implications for the future. Does poststructuralism really fail to acknowledge reality? How do we evaluate the emerging new theories that challenge poststructuralism?

Journée approches évolutionnaires et cognitives en sciences sociales

Lancées il y a une vingtaine d’années, les approches évolutionnaires et cognitives dans les sciences sociales font l’objet d’un intérêt croissant, en France comme dans le reste du monde. Parmi les institutions contribuant à ce mouvement figurent deux laboratoires parisiens, l’Institut Jean-Nicod et le Laboratoire d’anthropologie sociale du Collège de France, et un centre britannique, le département d’anthropologie de la London School of Economics, qui collaborent étroitement depuis de nombreuses années. Cette journée a pour but de réunir de jeunes chercheurs ainsi que trois chercheurs de renommée internationale (Dan Sperber, IJN ; Philippe Descola, LAS ; Maurice Bloch, LSE) appartenant aux centres en question.
