political i just found out that a book i am a part of has been released this collection edited by alison assiter and margherita tonon features six essays dealing with the question of how one can read kierkegaard politically my contribution to the book is entitled a fractured dialectic kierkegaard and political ontology after zizek and offers a political and ontological reading of kierkegaard which takes his relationship to german idealism as a starting point and ends by looking at zizek s recent use of kierkegaard one of the most notable things about this collection is that none of the authors are tied to any sort of mainstream theological interpretation of kierkegaard so the articles possess a weirdness and creativity not normally seen in the often stale world of kierkegaard scholarship if you are at all interested in the growing political interpretation of kierkegaard check this out kierkegaard and the political amazon oct 26 2012 leave a comment uncategorized this year s villanova philosophy conference another good upcoming conference in pennsylvania next year i will likely try to make both of these assuming the appropriate dirt bags let me crash and pay in beer apocalyptic politics framing the present villanova university friday april 12 saturday april 13 2013 confirmed speakers mladen dolar slavoj žižek alenka zupančič the present is often characterized as a critical moment that totters between possibilities of irresolvable catastrophe and redemptive restoration such claims involve prophecies of an end whether consisting in theological predictions of a messianic end political predictions of a revolutionary end or historical predictions of an epochal end claims on the future charge the present with immediate significance through the ethical and political demands they place on it this is to say an anticipated end which in a way is not yet is also always enacted in the present apocalyptic futures clearly enter into the structure of contemporary subjects of their desires and drives on the planes of fantasy and of theory but these relations call for clarification the multiplicity of ways in which prophecy can be received for instance whether the foretold end is interpreted as already accomplished imminent or in the indeterminate future whether the end is met with a spirit of fear or hopeful anticipation or whether it is understood as necessary and irrevocable or as contingent and preventable etc invites fundamental inquiry into the conscious and unconscious relations of the subject to history and its ruptures possible topics may include but are not limited to the following the end temporality of history hegel marx kojeve political theology and the messianic the legacy of paul in political theology kariological temporality and klesis agamben derrida benjamin bloch early modern political philosophy the role of prophecy in shaping societal affects hobbes machiavelli spinoza phenomenological relationality to the future

drain at villanovaphilosophy gmail com we strongly encourage submissions from women and other under represented groups oct 24 2012 leave a comment uncategorized aside the good folks are putting on a conference early next year on philosophy and nature featuring adrian johnston as the keynote i am going to try and get to this you should too call for papers 7th annual duquesne university graduate conference in philosophy philosophy and nature february 23 2013 keynote speaker adrian johnston university of new mexico emory psychoanalytic institute the relation between nomos and physis has occupied a central place in the history of philosophy from aristotelian physics to contemporary analytic debates on the philosophy of mind moreover nature as both an object of knowledge and a public resource has taken on increasingly urgent social and political import the distribution of resources and the impact of climate change have become central issues in public policy and as in the cases of race sexual difference and sexual orientation legal and social status is often determined in accordance with an appeal to their supposedly biological bases or that is to a commonplace conception of the natural thus the very identity of the human itself is intimately connected to the ways in which nature operates either on or for us this conference invites submissions from all areas of philosophy that are concerned to investigate the ontological ethical political and epistemological status of nature to help facilitate this discussion possible topics include but are not limited to nomos physis in ancient philosophy the relation between god nature human freedom natural determinism consciousness cognitive science the social construction of nature chaos vitalism the necessity or impossibility of causation the constitutive relationship between humans and nature realist idealist materialist and or hybrid positions phenomenology of and nature social constructivist vs essentialist figurations of identity politics the state of nature the ethical status of animals the environment and the biological or social origins of race sexual difference and or sexual orientation submissions please prepare submissions for blind review and send to duquesnegradconference gmail com by saturday december 1 2012 submissions should not exceed 3000 words cover sheets should include name submission title email address and institutional affiliation philosophy and nature conference at duquesne apr 21 2012 leave a comment uncategorized the brooklyn institute of social research i was made aware of the brooklyn institute of social research through a post on the new apps blog today and it seems to be a very very interesting venture it was founded by a group of phd students and young phd s from new york city and is running a series of once a week courses in the humanities that seem to run for 6 weeks each and from the pictures on the website meet in hip cafes bars as some may know it has been a dream of mine to start something similar to this a non profit public school in the humanities that taught basic to advanced courses in philosophy theology literature social theory and political thought and also ran seminars in the humanities for kids of al ages ideally in conjunction with a public school system after working with an urban non profit back in college i have always liked the idea of linking something at the more intellectual level with more on the ground work with kids in struggling communities but that s enough about what i would want to do one of the things i like most about the brooklyn institute model is that they are charging for classes this may be against the tendencies of some who would desire something like a truly free university but i for one think this is great in the world we live in things cost money and most of us who would want to be involved in a project like this are ta s or adjuncts at best and while ideally i am sure many of us would love to teach for free it is simply not feasible on the faq page of their website they give a great explanation for why their courses cost money and they make the point of showing how much it would cost to take a course at a major university i think in the long run this will hopefully make this project more sustainable and encourage others to also considered going beyond the free school model and not being afraid to ask for a reasonable financial commitment for the sake of supporting high quality teachers the only thing that strikes me as a negative about the whole thing is that it is in brooklyn which you know is where everything ever happens these days maybe one of the characters on girls will ride her fixed gear to a class at the brooklyn institute while listening to a cassette ep from grizzly bear s drummer with an 9 iced coffee in her hand kidding obviously just because it is in brooklyn doesn t make it bad hopefully this can set a model that some of us can work on in the future to help create a new space in between full time tenured academic labor and resentful post academic work feb 04 2012 11 comments uncategorized in memory of dr craig rusch one of my favorite professors from college passed away this week while he was without a doubt one of the most influential figures during my time at vanguard university it would not be a stretch to say that one of my least favorite professors also passed away a few nights ago i showed the film the royal tenenbaums to one of my classes this week and there is a scene towards the end of the film that describes quite precisely how i and i presume many of my former colleagues felt about dr craig rusch in this scene royal tenenbaum is walking with henry sherman the man about to marry his ex wife royal is attempting to make amends with henry and says something to the effect of i ve always been considered kind of an asshole but it would really eat me up if i knew you wouldn t forgive me to which henry responds i don t think you re an asshole royal you re just kind of a son of a bitch upon hearing this royal smiles warmly as if this is one of the kindest things that could have been said to him i could easily imagine craig rusch with the same grin on his face while being told by one of the countless students he inspired challenged and frustrated to no end that he was in fact kind of a son of a bitch maybe the most legendary son of a bitch that vanguard university will ever have on its campus vanguard is a fairly small christian college in shockingly conservative orange county california it is not the sort of place one expects to find a hot bed of intellectual activity engaged political thinking and theologically irreverent debates but for a period of time this is just the sort of environment created in the small program for cultural anthropology at vanguard university besides the many who go on to study at a host of theological seminaries vanguard is also not the place where one finds many students planning to go on to graduate programs in the humanities and social sciences but when i go through the list of the students i know who have graduated from the department of cultural anthropology department at vanguard university a majority have gone on to carry out graduate work in a number of fields now i am not saying that without craig rusch none of this would have been the case but i have no doubt that many anthropology alumni myself included may have easily let the thought of graduate school slip away if it was not for the blunt and sometimes aggressive encouragement we received from craig i know that if it was not for an anthropological theory course taught by craig i never would have been exposed to the figures in anthropological cultural and critical theory which eventually led me to study contemporary european philosophy while vanguard did offer a few classes in philosophy i am quite sure that none of the students who enrolled in them were ever forced to critically engage with the implications of the post structuralist turn in the european humanities let me be clear however that it was not craig s intellectual intensity alone that qualifies him for the title of biggest son of a bitch in vanguard university history along with being a harbinger of academic rigor at the university craig also embodied the sort of fuck you attitude that flew in the face of the somewhat conservative and stifling tendencies of the school at a place which treats alcohol consumption amongst legal adults with an intensity usually reserved for meth production in middle school science labs craig kept a bottle of scotch in his office and turned his home into a personal micro brewery upon finding out that some friends and i had discovered a fantastic irish bar that he frequented he quickly informed me that we were to keep the place to ourselves and not tell anyone else in fear that we would all be found out by the watchful eyes of jesus prohibition enforcing army craig taught us that we could still exist within the tradition that our university was founded upon while not being afraid to critically re consider some of the pillars of that tradition he was not irreverent for the sake of being irreverent but rather he lived with a freedom and energy that paid tribute to the power that comes with serious thought while many of us surely did not agree with much of what craig said and he made few disciples he opened us up to a way of thinking that i could not begin to thank him for sadly that chance to say thank you has come and gone as i approach the conclusion of my doctoral dissertation i occasionally think of the professors and mentors from my past that i will be excited to share the news wi...
