  The Legacies of Ursula K. Le Guin: Science, Fiction and Ethics for the Anthropocene

  Planetary ethics and aesthetics, interspecies communities, post-gender and anarchist societies, indigenous knowledge, vegetal sentience... The paths Ursula K. Le Guin has opened for our imagination to travel are numerous, subtle itineraries through which we might find ways to better inhabit the XXI^st century. The international bilingual conference "Le Guin's Legacies" will engage with her work from a multiplicity of perspectives, tracing its literary, ecological, philosophical, socio-economical and anthropological ramifications: its potential for re-engineering the world we live in.

  Faces of Eros

  Journal of Phenomenological and Existential Theory and Culture

  Eros plays a central role in Western thought. In the philosophical and spiritual traditions, it usually refers to physical love and desire. Eros is a recurring character in the pre-Socratic cosmogonies, and it is the main impulse of the philosophical quest for truth in Plato’s Phaedrus. This Special Topics issue of PhænEx wishes to give a new impulse to philosophical reflections on this fundamental and ambiguous phenomenon, following an interdisciplinary perspective at the intersection of phenomenology, post-structuralism, and social sciences (psychology, sociology, sexology, anthropology, linguistics, etc.).

  Science fiction in the Iberian worlds

  Meditations, experimentation, and social change

  Lors de cette journée, nous examinerons les processus anamorphotiques (Bozzetto, Soriano) contenus dans les productions SF de la péninsule ibérique et du continent américain. Comment le statut marginal de la SF dans le champ culturel lui permet-elle de développer des fictions faisant émerger des cultures et des perspectives minoritaires ? La visée spéculative de ces œuvres peut-t-elle être rapprochée, paradoxalement, de la démarche propre au roman expérimental (Jameson) ? Quelles sont les constructions littéraires complexes que permet de dégager une analyse narratologique approfondie de la SF ? La journée d'étude portera principalement sur des œuvres littéraires mais les propositions concernant d'autres types de production (cinéma, comics, arts plastiques...) sont également bienvenues.
