Faculty Speaker: Professor Iain Thomson (UNM)
Continental philosophy is often, and unfairly, dismissed as (bad)
literary criticism. While it is true that, thanks to Martin Heidegger,
art and literature have played a crucial role in the development of
continental thought, the past three decades have witnessed among
continental thinkers an increasingly pronounced abandonment of literary
and artistic obsessions in favor of an emphasis on the ethical and the
political. In the meanwhile, traditionally marginalized artistic forms
(film, television, graphic novels) have been granted philosophical
importance, and writers traditionally regarded as literary figures
(Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry James, David Foster Wallace) are being
considered part of the American philosophical heritage. What is the
status of the aesthetic in the wake of these changes?We invite papers
that consider this question from a variety of perspectives. Some lines
of inquiry that might be addressed include:B7B B B B B B B B What role can the
encounter with a work of art or literature continue to play in shaping
philosophical reflection?B7B B B B B B B B What relationship does the
production
of art and literature bear to the (political) organization of public
space?B7B B B B B B B B Do literary and poetic forms have a home in
philosophical discourse? Are there modes of philosophical reflection
that require for their expression poetic or literary
form?B7B B B B B B B B What
promise remains in the Heideggerian inheritance that has, in many ways,
been disregarded?B7B B B B B B B B Is there an inherent connection between the
art workbs resistance (to interpretation, to appropriation) and
political resistance?B7B B B B B B B B What counts as art today, and what is
at
stake in that decision? Have the answers to this question fundamentally
changed?B7B B B B B B B B How does art shape or reshape the everyday and life
as
such?B
