About the Research group
This research group aims at exploring the multiple intersections of the work of Simone de Beauvoir and Marxist thought. We aim to tackle questions of intellectual influence, historical situatedness, constructive dialogue and critical dispute, mutual conceptual information, philosophical (in)compatibility, convergence and complementarity, and more...
We meet once a month online to discuss topics determined by the participants. A variety of formats are possible: reading group style discussions, open discussions of a given topic, presentation of one's work, discussion of possible common future projects...
We aim to create a safer space for the sharing of knowledge and ideas and to foster an open discussion, avoiding hierarchies (of knowledge, status, institutional ones, etc.) as much as possible.

Upcoming
|
In the coming semester we invite scholars, researchers and students working on topics at the intersection of Beauvoir, French existentialism, and Marxist thought, to present and discuss their work in a friendly and collegial atmosphere during our regular online meetings. We would love to hear presentations on anything ranging from drafts of papers, ideas for research projects or theses, book proposals, to plans for courses, conferences or edited volumes. We are planning to run 90 min sessions with approx. 30min presentations + discussions.
If you’d be interested in presenting your work online in a session of our research group, please fill out this form by October 7th, 2024: https://forms.gle/D44uaB11dhsejNTj7 |
