tenth 'speaking matters' event:

thursday 26/2/09 14:30 - 18:00

ncad, thomas street, dublin 8

 

At a time of widespread economic crisis and growing social instability, critical thought and practice can work to address the political nihilism that results in an apparent poverty of alternatives. What figures, relationships, and models of praxis still have relevance and possibility within our situation? Drawing on current attempts to rethink convergences between cultural practices, political agency and philosophy around matters of concern to us all, and motivated more broadly by an examination of correspondences between philosophy and culture, the Event Research Group will stage an afternoon of presentations and discussion that takes as its point of departure philosopher Simon Critchley's important contributions to contemporary problems concerning ethics and political resistance.

Participants include: Simon Critchley (Keynote); Sinead Hogan; Aislinn O'Donnell; Shane Cullen and Declan Clarke.
