CFP: SSPP-Paradoxes of Race (w/SPEP)
Begins: Thu, 08 Nov 2007
Ends: Sat, 10 Nov 2007
Location: Chicago, US
Last date for paper submission: Thu, 01 Mar 2007
Link: Society Information
Historical, Continental, and Feminist Perspectives (SSPP)
Held in conjunction with SPEP (Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy) in 2007
The SSPP invites papers for two conference panels. We are seeking papers that address issues pertaining to:
PARADOXES OF RACE
Race, when not viewed in terms of simplistic binaries, is deeply paradoxical. It is very often situated ambiguously with respect to a number of entrenched divisions: between nature and history, self and other, mind and body. And, more generally, it is often seen as both historical and natural, as both discursively constructed and essentialized through the body. In light of these ambiguities, what can philosophy offer to a critical analysis of race? We are looking for papers that address these racial ambiguities—papers that advance conceptual and historical understandings of race, rather than papers which simply expose the racist past of the history of philosophy.
Complete papers of 3000-5000 words (that can be summarized and presented in 20-30 minutes) should be submitted for consideration for the 2007 meeting (deadline: March 1, 2007). The meeting will be scheduled for November 8-10, 2007, in Chicago.
Authors should include their name(s) and contact information on the cover page ONLY.
Papers should be emailed as attachments in Word or RTF format to papers@sspp.us,
