Paradigms, models, scenarios and practices in terms of strong sustainability

While the notion of sustainability continues to be associated with the Brundtland Report (1987) and the concept of sustainable development, a community of sustainability researchers and practitioners increasingly seeks to emancipate the concept to be consistent with the knowledge and aspirations of the moment. The enthusiasm and expectations for more sustainability go beyond mere environmental issues. They touch on crucial social issues as well. The symposium papers intends to question the paradigms, models, scenarios and practices that embody sustainability. One may wonder what meaning should be given to the very idea of sustainability and the representations it conveys.

Violence and film

The Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence is seeking articles dealing with philosophical issues that arise in connection with the depiction of violence in film and television. Violence, real or threatened, drives the plots of many, if not most, of the narratives we watch on the screen. Detectives solve grisly murders, victims seek revenge, teenagers flee slashers, gangsters spray bullets, Kungfu fighters trade punches, and armies clash on the battlefield (or in outer space). While almost everyone claims to wants to reduce the levels of violence in society, movie audiences regularly get an enormous kick out of watching on the screen what we abhor in real life. But not all cinematic violence is meant to titillate. Often the aim is to bring audiences closer to the sickening reality of the mistreatment and abuse suffered by those whose plights might otherwise remain invisible to us. While many worry that exposure to cinematic violence may desensitize us, perhaps it can also serve to awaken our empathy.

Field philosophy and other experiments

This colloquium will bring together leading and emerging scholars to discuss, share, and analyze what similarities and differences there are between their respective humanities research projects, as conducted in the field, and to experiment with what new field practices might emerge from the humanities. How are field practices in the environmental humanities methodologically different from those in cultural anthropology, geography, or sociology? How might field research in philosophy reshape traditionally text-based disciplinary boundaries?

Life between construction and destruction: Forms, rules and norms

Aside from the biological processes to which it is subjected from birth to death, human existence is characterized by the permanent effort all individuals and groups make to influence and control these processes, in order to live together. Whether occurring during a rite of passage or whether part of the interactions of everyday life, this construction invites us to question the various manners forms are made – be them “Life Forms” or “Forms of Life” – by carefully looking at the diversity of processes through which norms and rules become established .

Transparency. Thinking through an opaque concept

Pragmatism is here broadly considered as a tradition of thought stemming from philosophy but now clearly present in a number of academic fields such as sociology, law, politics, art, physics, mathematics, anthropology, history, and literature.

Society, communities, personality: in search of "the Eternal World"

Le département de sociologie de l'université d'État de Tambov (Russie) organise les 7 et 8 novembre 2011 son quatrième colloque international sur internet. Cette année, les échanges porteront autour du sujet : « Sociétés, communautés, personnalité : à la recherche du monde éternel ». Face au bien connu jugement hâtif sur l'absence de dimension historique en sociologie, nous sommes invités, au contraire, à inscrire ou à repenser le travail du sociologue dans une optique de long terme. Droits de l'homme, inégalités, place de l'individu, et même croyances religieuses : ces thématiques dont la sociologie, voire les sciences sociales en général, sont coutumières, s'éclairent d'une manière nouvelle une fois replacées dans le temps long de l'histoire, et notamment face à ce qui peut en être la finalité, exclue du champ scientifique et donc son impensé majeur, à savoir la quête d'un « monde éternel ».
