 JOINT WORKSHOP, November 28th and 29th,
University of Toulouse Jean Jaurès (Équipe de recherche sur les rationalités philosophiques et les savoirs) room: RE207, Maison de la Recherche, Université de Toulouse Jean Jaurès This workshop will gather the members of the ERRAPHIS laboratory and the Theorizing Freedom from Below group from Freie Universität Berlin/Utrecht University in Toulouse. Each day will be devoted to a specific theme: the first, on Thursday November 28, will focus on the motif of "Fugitivity" in relation to the history of slavery, in order to understand escape not as a modality of withdrawal, as in the classical political theory reformulated by Hirschmann (Exit, Voice and Loyalty), but as a form of refusal of the negation of freedom itself; and Friday 29th will be devoted to the metaphorical uses of slavery, both heuristic and problematic in understanding oppressions and real struggles for emancipation. The format adopted will be as follows: - Ahead of the study days, i.e. one week beforehand, each member sends one or two pre-selected texts from philosophy/political theory that he or she feels are emblematic of what his or her talk will present on November 28 or 29 (this could be an article or a chapter, or even just a few pages). - During the study days, each of the 6 members of the teams will have 1h15 to present his or her work in relation to the theme of the day, with 30 minutes devoted to a research presentation and 1h of discussion covering both the presentation and the pre-selected text. The working language will be English. The workshop is open to all ERRAPHIS members (faculty and PhD students), the Philosophy department study (faculty and students) and the gender studies institute of Toulouse (Arpege).

 We are an undergraduate journal publishing philosophy papers, poetry, short stories, and artwork with existential content. Existentialism here is broadly defined; we are interested in work in various mediums dealing with the human search for meaning.
This is The Reed's 27th year publishing undergraduate work: students gain invaluable experience and improved writing skills by publishing with us. Below you will find a digital poster with the relevant submissions and contact information. If possible, please share this poster and/or email with your society's professors so they can, in turn, pass along the message to their undergraduate students and/or place it in relevant spaces on campus. We welcome students of all disciplines to apply. Each year, we award The Hong Memorial Essay Prize to our best academic paper. This honor is named after Howard and Edna Hong, the founders of St. Olaf’s Kierkegaard Library and the translators who brought Kierkegaard to the English-speaking world. The award carries a $100 prize. Upon submission, students are automatically considered for this distinction. Our deadline for submissions is January 31st, 2025. Please encourage students to submit finished pieces ahead of our blind review process.
