Historicising Deliberative Democracy
7th ECPR General Conference
The last thirty years have seen the burgeoning of political and academic speeches on the merits of participative or deliberative democracy. In parallel, in occidental democracies, various systems sharing the ambition to strengthen or increase citizen participation through collective discussion on public issues are being institutionalized. These devices are often viewed today as a novel cure to the present crisis of representative governance. This panel, at the crossroads of sociology, history and political science, aims at historicizing such deliberation necessity and at redrawing the genesis of the phenomenon as speech and political practice.

The inaugural international conference of the French Society of Modernist Studies
The aim of this two-day conference is to foster discussion on communities in the modernist period. As discursive constructs and historical practices, communities constitute a privileged phenomenon from which to understand the political and ethical regime of modernist texts, as well as the actual forms of collective experience in which writers and readers were involved. More than a decade after Jessica Berman’s landmark work on "the politics of community" in modernist fiction, we seek to explore the various ways in which communities were configured across genres and artistic media, but also to acknowledge the grounds of their historical and cultural specificity. We hope that this will lead us to distinguish various versions of the communal, from the ideal to the empirical, from the utopian to the everyday, from consensus to dissensus.

CFP INSEP2013 - Special Session
This session is part of the INSEP2013 Conference – The Value(s) of Sexual Diversity. The conference focuses on the legal, political and ethical boundaries of diverse sexualities, “troubling” current assumptions, dispositions and claims for the boundaries between legitimacy and illegitimacy in diverse sexual identities, sub‐cultures and practices in both national and international contexts. We welcome paper proposals reflecting on the ethical and methodological criticalities associated with doing empirical research on sexual diversities and (in) sexual (sub)cultures.

4rth International Congress on the Square of Opposition
The Square : a Central Object for Thought
The square of opposition is a very famous theme coming from Aristotelian logic dealing with the notions of opposition, negation, quantification and proposition. It has been continuously studied by people interested in logic, philosophy and Aristotle during two thousand years. Even Frege, one of the main founders of modern mathematical logic, used it. This congress is an interdisciplinary event gathering logicians, philosophers, mathematicians, semioticians, artists, cognitivists, and computer scientists.

Speculative Realisms and Religion
The Journal ThéoRèmes is devoting a special issue to this presence of the religious question in various philosophical studies related to “Speculative realism” or even “object-oriented ontologies”, in order both to deepen the internal understanding of this question, and to develop critical approaches. We welcome contributions from a range of disciplines including religious sciences, philosophy and theology, and from a variety of perspectives.

7th Colloquium on Translation Studies
Two hundred years after his famous lecture at the Royal Academy of Science in Berlin, during the Napoleonic era, Friedrich Schleiermacher still remains an assiduous presence in Translation Studies bibliography all over the world. His definition of two (and only two) methods of translating has become indispensable to the common core vocabulary of both translators and researchers of translation alike. This binary opposition dates back to Saint Jerome, or even Cicero (De Oratore) and still retains all of its attractiveness, being referred to by different designations such as translation methods, strategies, procedures or norms.

Freud, a century after Totem and Taboo
Anthropology, culture and cognition
Although hardly avoiding intense criticism by anthropologists such as Boas and Malinowski, Freud’s theories did, however, have a profound impact upon anthropology, receiving an enthusiastic reception among Culture and Personality theorists during the middle decades of the 20th century. Leading anthropologists of this trend relied on Freud’s contributions to develop approaches based on the relationship between culture and personality, expanding their views on the importance of culture in personality formation, on the constitution of culture patterns and on the formulation of national character. One hundred years after the publication of Totem and Taboo (1913), this two-day seminar seeks to address the influence of Freud’s legacy in contemporary anthropological thought. It also aims to explore the new interface between the two disciplines, namely through the recent work produced on kinship and on the cognitive approaches to the study of religion.

Immanence and Transcendence in Deleuzean metaphysics
Deleuze’s project is usually presented as developing a radical immanentism. It wants to get rid of the classical distinction between two orders of being - the order of the essences and the order of the things in which these essences are incarnated - and it is very critical towards any attempt to re-introduce a (hidden) transcendent element into the immanent order. The "virtual" can be considered Deleuze's answer to the question how to conceive of a ground or foundation that does not break the immanent ontology. Deleuze describes the virtual as that which is not actual although it is real, as something that does not belong to the domain of the possible, as complication, etc. One could ask oneself if these descriptions are not philosophical constructions, that is, rather forced attempts to stay within the immanent order of being. How can we think the non-actuality of the virtual? Is not the virtual transcendent in some sense? Does it make sense to speak of an immanent transcendence in Deleuze’s philosophy, and if so, of what would it consist? Explorations of the historical roots of this topic in Deleuze (Spinoza, Leibniz, etc.) are also welcome.

Cinema: Journal of Philosophy and the Moving Image invites submissions for its issue on "Portuguese Cinema and Philosophy". We are seeking contributions that address the specific relationship between Portuguese films and philosophy.

Ambiance and Atmospheres: Encountering New Material Frontiers
RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2013
Recent work on affect in Anglophone human geography has opened up new material frontiers by theorizing affective atmospheres (Anderson 2009; Bissell 2010; McCormack 2008). In such work we see an adjustment of thinking towards and around the relations between bodies and their environment by considering the ways in which bodies are situated within diffuse, distributed, sensible, and potentially turbulent volumes. Such an emphasis on the atmospheric, taken in both its meteorological and felt/affective sense, is in many ways tied to an expanded conception of materiality that draws attention to “the vibrant, constitutive, aleatory, and even immaterial indices” of materiality and materialization (Coole and Frost 2010: 14; Bennett 2010). -

Conference, symposium - Thought
"Drama and Philosophy - a recurrent and most needed encounter" works on reviewing the multiple dependence between philosophy and drama, on developing the contribution of dramatic concepts to philosophical thought, and vice versa, the contribution of philosophy to the scenic languages. We understand “drama” in the larger sense: it is precisely by the multiplicity of its languages that drama can enrich the philosophy of language.
