  Practices of critique

  International Graduate Conference

  Practices of critique are intertwined with normative orders in manifold ways. They contain and refer reflexively to critical contentions, and they can enable as well as suppress critique. In this context it is essential to reconstruct the theoretical foundations of critique and power structures as well the practices in which they are instantiated. Three aspects are crucial: firstly concrete forms of power and their application, which always emerge from a tension between normative claims and solidified systems of rule; secondly the purview of justice as the foundation for critical rationale; thirdly the aspect of aesthetic representation. Such themes shall be addressed from multidisciplinary perspectives at the international graduate conference “Practices of Critique” on 5-7 December 2013.

  Reconnaissance et liberté

  La section philosophique du projet de recherche « Changements structurels de la reconnaissance au XXIe siècle » organise les 27 et 28 juin prochains, à l'Institut de recherche sociale (Francfort), une journée d'études consacrée au thème : « Reconnaissance et liberté ». Le but de la journée d’étude est de déchiffrer le rapport du concept de reconnaissance aux différentes conceptions philosophiques et politiques de la liberté. S’agit-il, dans les cas de lutte pour la reconnaissance, de demandes articulées en termes de liberté « négative » ou « positive » ? Quelles sont les conséquences qu’ont, pourrait ou devrait avoir une « politique de la reconnaissance » pour notre compréhension des libertés politiques ?
