The International Simone de Beauvoir Society invites Beauvoirian reflections on the theme of “Beauvoir across Boundaries” in the context of the 2024 World Congress of Philosophy (Rome, August 1-8) and its theme, Philosophy across Boundaries.
The 25th World Congress intends to foster scholarly and public reflections on the future of our societies through the lens of philosophy.
The International Simone de Beauvoir Society calls for papers that take up the theme of boundaries from the viewpoint of Beauvoir’s philosophy. The axiom of ambiguity in Beauvoir’s philosophy allows for rich reflection on the theme of boundaries in various contexts. Areas of focus may include but are not restricted to interrogating the space of boundaries in the following:
- boundaries between literature and philosophy in Beauvoir’s work
- boundaries between good and bad faith or authenticity and inauthenticity
-boundaries between complicity and oppression
- social and epistemic polarization in a post-truth era
- boundaries between the human and non-human (post-humanist and phenomenological concerns)
- boundaries of decolonization
- boundaries between law and enforcement
- religion and boundaries
- boundaries of reason: artificial and human intelligence
- biodiversity and human societies
- social media and selfhood
- boundaries between the emancipatory aims of feminism and other gender activisms
We are interested in sharing Beauvoir scholarship that contributes to the overarching aim of this conference, philosophical reflection on the future of our world.
