about the culture and philosophy workshop

 

GradCAM seeks to foster dialogues across disciplines. This is key to generating a rich interdisciplinary environment within which doctoral and masters researchers can evolve their enquiry and their own learning. One of the key interactions that we have been pursuing is the exchange across cultural practices and critique and the broad arena of contemporary philosophy. The "culture and philosophy research workshop" is the strand that brings this work into focus.

 

We have hosted a number of events and seminar series that address the intersection of cultural practices and philosophical enquiry. These have included seminar series such as
"Rethinking The Event" (2008-2010)
"The Experiential: Re-reading Aesthetics" (2009-ongoing)
- "Praxis and Pedagogy" (2009-ongoing)
and "The Body and its Systems: Phenomenology, Technology and Modernity" (2010-ongoing).

 

We have also hosted, and collaborated with colleagues to host, one-off events that also address the intersection of philosophy and culture. These have included:
"'Now as the Divine Hour': The Event in Art and Philosophy"
"Simon Critchley on Ethics: Politics of Resistance in the Contemporary World"
"Mystical Anarchism: An Event with Simon Critchley"
"Kojin Karatani: Revolution and Repetition in World History"

 

In 2010 we initiated a series of seminars and presentations under "culture and philosophy research Workshop" and we have since then delivered the following sessions:

Other sessions in development include;
  • To be announced: "On 'Being toward Death' (Heidegger)"
  • To be announced: "On Speech and Phenomena (Derrida/Husserl)"
  • To be announced: "Between System and Event (Luhmann/Badiou)"
  • To be announced: "The Question of Method in the Human Sciences" (Dilthey)
