Content of Submissions
We welcome submissions that apply a phenomenological ethos to
investigations within the human and social sciences. Priority will be given to
submissions that engage with the conference theme. Consideration will also
be given to submissions on any topic within the human and social sciences
that includes a substantive relation to phenomenology, including
phenomenology in dialogue with fields like existentialism, hermeneutics,
critical theory, ethnography, ethnomethodology, semiotics,
poststructuralism, post-colonial studies, Indigenous Studies, gender theory,
and beyond. Submissions need not be situated within any one discipline; we
welcome a cross-disciplinary pluralism, and researchers engaging with
phenomenology and social critique within fields such as psychology,
sociology, theology, anthropology, philosophy, communication studies,
visual arts, musicology, ecology, and beyond, are encouraged to submit.
Recognizing the wide spectrum of questions encompassed by the theme of
“phenomenology and social critique”
, we invite explorations inclusive of
(though not limited to) these questions:
How is phenomenological social critique possible?
In what ways has social critique motivated new forms of
phenomenological inquiry?
- When can phenomenology motivate new forms of social critique?
- Where can phenomenological analysis be fruitful for the diagnosis of ‘social
pathologies’ in contemporary societies? - How might phenomenological accounts of affectivity, embodiment,
intersubjectivity, and lifeworld help investigate social realities like alienation
and marginalization? - In what ways, if any, can the explorations of phenomenology provide normative
criteria for guiding social criticism? - Where can the 1 person perspective traditionally valued by phenomenology
relate to the 3 person perspective traditionally used by critical social theories? - How can the methodological contributions of phenomenology in general andphenomenological social science in particular enhance empirically informedsocial critique?
