Институт философии 
Российской академии наук
Всероссийская научная конференция 
Человек перед выбором в современном мире: 
проблемы, возможности, решения
20-21 октября 2015 года
Москва
Уважаемые коллеги!
Институт философии РАН, сектор методологии междисциплинарных исследований человека приглашает принять участие в обсуждении проблемы выбор человека в современном мире. Разработка этой междисциплинарной проблемы имеет отношение к разным областям дисциплинарного знания: философской антропологии, философии науки, социальной философии, социологии, философии религии, историческим и филологическим наукам, аксиологии, психологии, конфликтологии, биоэтике и современным проблемам биомедицины, теории коммуникаций и принятию решений, как и ко многим другим, имеющим своим предметом изучение человека. 
Предлагаемая проблема обсуждалась в мае 2013 г. на «пилотной» конференции «Ситуация выбора человека в современном трансформирующемся обществе» (Институт философии РАН, сектор методологии междисциплинарных исследований человека и кафедра философии религии и религиоведения философского факультета СПбГУ:   http://iph.ras.ru/konf_sv.htm  ). За прошедший год ситуация в мире существенно изменилась, что не могло не повлиять как на саму ситуацию выбора, так и на ее исследование. Академическая историко-философская, религиоведческая, культурологическая, социально-психологическая, масскультпотребительская и т.п. проблемы выбора, которые были в центре внимания конференции 20013 г., получили новый злободневный импульс, обновив смысловые задачи научного обсуждения. При этом не стоит думать, что это обновление связано только с изменившейся политической ситуацией, и что проблема выбора имеет только политический смысл. 
Проблема выбора относится к «вечным» философским проблемам и в своей основе не зависит от «текущего» момента. Острый конфликт затрагивает людей и ставит их перед выбором в повседневной жизни не только тогда, когда они становятся непосредственными участниками или жертвами конфликтных ситуаций. Скорее, люди начинают переосмысливать свои мировоззренческие установки, проверять поведенческие решения, «реактуализировать» свой персональный выбор всякий раз в новых, меняющихся условиях их жизни. Философская антропология взаимодействует в изучении этого вопроса с широким полем междисциплинарных исследований, направленных на синтез социального и гуманитарного знания о человеке. 
Актуальными сегодня остаются и широко обсуждаемые в мировой науке проблемы, возникающие в пространстве разных междисциплинарных союзов, из большого количества которых на конференции сделан выбор по следующим пяти направлениями:
• в междисциплинарном гуманитарном пространстве (философском, филологическом, историческом, искусствоведческом, социально-психологическом и др.) проблема выбора фиксируется в разных аспектах: концептуально-методологическом, культурно-историческом, нарративном, эмпирическом, проективном (как для решения собственных, так и иных прикладных задач) и др. Концепт "выбор" может работать в качестве методологического приема для описания сложных и противоречивых ситуаций в событийной, культурной, ментальной, интеллектуальной и проч. ситуациях. Он интересен современной философии, в которой прошлый философский опыт (экзистенциальной, персоналистской, религиозной философии) проблематизируется как онтологическое и эпистемологическое основание. "Выбор автора" и "выбор героя", как и «смерть» обоих в постмодернистском дискурсе, вопрос о смыслах в работе создателя текста остается проблемным для современной филологии. Концепт «выбор» с необходимостью присутствует и в компаративистских исследовательских практиках. Выбор историка в его работе с архивным материалом, как и в создании последующего нарратива по-своему предопределяет «существование» прошлого. Работа с информацией, связанной с «текущими событиями», также ставит проблему выбора позиции интерпретатора. Известное изречение - «история учит» - можно прочесть как призыв обратиться к своего рода «текстуальному заповеднику» прошлых ситуаций выбора, в которых сконцентрированы разные человеческие смыслы. Смыслы переживаются, работают в структуре личности, определяя ее поведенческие предпочтения. Практика конфликта диктует свои правила в выборе поведения. Можно ли связь выбора и порождаемого им смысла отнести к работающему коннекту междисциплинарного гуманитарного поля? 
• в пространстве биоэтики и биомедицины новые технологии меняют социальную и экологическую среды обитания человека, формируют новые стандарты здоровья. Эти изменения распространяются и на медицинские технологи, ставя перед медициной проблему выбора стратегий лечения, препаратов, которые, в том числе, меняют сам характер принятия решений в медицинских практиках. Все это, безусловно, влияет на поведение человека, как врача, так и пациента. Особенность обсуждения проблемы в этом поле невозможность ограничиться только ее теоретическим анализом. За ним следуют практические приложения.
• молодежь в ситуации выбора живет и действует в условиях постоянных трансформаций социального, технологического, образовательного и коммуникационного пространства. У молодых людей возникает свой собственный опыт взаимодействия как с новыми технологиями, так и друг с другом. Выбор, освоение новой технологии, а часто и создание нового продукта (в самом широком смысле слова) происходят как бы заново. Это тот опыт, которого никогда не было и не будет у старших. Такая ситуация порождает множество проблем как для адаптации молодого человека, так и для его будущего в стране и мире. Что может дать старшее поколение молодому? Как высшее образование влияет на выбор профессии и самореализации молодого россиянина? Каковы его представления о ценностях здоровья и семьи? Какие условия необходимо создать для развития творческого потенциала молодого человека и его участия в инновационном развитии страны? Как влияют информационно-коммуникационные технологии на выбор молодым человеком способов общения, обучения и деятельности?
• религиозные аспекты проблемы выбора в современном мире чрезвычайно разнообразны. Современный человек не только имеет уникальную возможность выбора между верой и полным отрицанием религии, но и выбора между новыми и традиционными религиозными течениями. Перед выбором оказываются и сами религиозные организации, члены которых сталкиваются с проблемой выбора между стремлением к консерватизму (именно он зачастую привлекает множество верующих) и необходимостью обновления, которое также объясняется желаниями значительной части верующих. И здесь обсуждение теоретических вопросов тесно переплетается с их практической значимостью для сохранения культурных традиции и развития общества. Выбор диалога или конфронтации заостряет проблему.
• философия и методология в пространстве принятия решений, которые являются необходимым структурным элементом и важнейшим атрибутом человеческой деятельности. Проблема выбора «хорошего», «оптимального», «рационального» решения поднимает много вопросов: Что же такое «хорошее» решение? Каковы критерии сравнения различных вариантов решения? Что положить в их основу? Должны ли эти критерии учитывать только субъективные оценки человека, принимающего решение, или же возможен подход, который позволяет находить методы, которые с одинаковым успехом применимы к разным людям и различным задачам? Может человек сделать точный рациональный выбор или же он может только приближаться к нему? Как в принятии решений должны соотноситься наука и искусство? Можно ли научить человека принимать «правильные» решения? Философский анализ проблем принятия решений обусловлен не только их ролью в жизни общества и отдельного индивида, но и тем, что сами процессы принятия решений, будучи синтезом науки и искусства, знания и опыта, представляют междисциплинарное исследовательское поле для изучения человека, понимания его природы и поиска решения задач, стоящих перед ним в современном мире.
Проведение конференции предполагает пленарное заседание и работу 5 секций по основным указанным направлениям. На пленарном заседании выступят ведущие ученые академических институтов и университетов России.

Deadline for proposals : 15 February, 2015
 
Possible topics include :
 
-  playful or critical uses of narratives to political, aesthetic or pedagogical ends . E.g. adaptations of film or (children’s) literature classics ; new modes of production, distribution or consumption of images ; new fictional forms influenced by digital technologies ; quotations from art works in fan fiction or videogames.
 
-  history and its representations ; how memory is constituted ; how narratives are subverted  : history painting, images linked to specific events, monuments, curatorial practices ; the use and misuse of archives ; school texbooks ; documentary film, cinema, tv series, comics…
 
-  transcultural practices  : ways of seeing other cultures, reception and reinterpretation of narratives from and into other cultural contexts, for whom and to what purpose,…
 
-  the status of narratives  : official, mainstream, subaltern, alternative. The way minorities have contested or reclaimed established discourses which marginalised or excluded them.

CFP: Material Culture Symposium for Emerging Scholars
Very Bad Things: Material Culture and Disobedience
Call for Proposals—2015 Emerging Scholars Symposium
Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library
Saturday, April 11, 2015
The Center for Material Culture Studies at the University of Delaware invites submissions for papers to be given at the Thirteenth Annual Material Culture Symposium for Emerging Scholars.
What happens when a thing goes bad?  What is an unruly object and how does it get that way? Can an object get out of control? Can it be disobedient? Some things go bad; are some things born bad? How do things express our own dissatisfaction and deviance?
We seek papers that explore the recalcitrance of things, papers that interrogate the way objects can reflect human frustration or discontent, and papers that investigate the moments when objects resist our intentions or confound our expectations. At these vital junctures, things expand beyond the limits of the human imagination, shaking up our sense of the world and our place in it. This conference will consider how objects unsettle the presumed docile or one-way dynamic between human actors and material things. We welcome presentations that explore material culture in relation to social and political protest, bad design, technological failures, artifacts that surprise, magical objects, hurtful places, the naughty, the broken, the lost, the painful, and the perverse. We encourage papers that reflect upon and promote an interdisciplinary discussion on the state of material culture studies today.
This conference is not bound by any temporal or geographical limits. Disciplines represented at past symposia include American studies, anthropology, archaeology, consumer studies, English, gender studies, history, museum studies, and the histories of art, architecture, design, and technology. We welcome proposals from graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and those beginning their teaching or professional careers.
Submissions:  Proposals should be no more than 300 words and include the focus of your object-based research and the significance of your project. Relevant images are welcome.
Programs and paper abstracts from past symposia are posted here:
http://www.materialculture.udel.edu/emerging_scholars.html .
Send your proposal, with a current c.v. of no more than two pages, to
[email protected] .
Deadline:  Proposals must be received by 5 p.m. on Monday, December 15, 2014. Speakers will be notified of the committee’s decision in January 2015. Confirmed speakers will be asked to provide digital images for use in publicity and are required to submit their final papers by March 11, 2015. Travel grants will be available.

 PHILHIST '15 / INTERACTIONS
 
DAKAM’s  PHILHIST ’15 / II Philosophy Conference  on  'Interactions'  aims to a comparative re-reading of philosophical texts around the historical mechanisms of interaction and will take place at  NHKM  (Nâzım Hikmet Cultural Center)  on  May 14-16, 2015 .
The conference will be held at Nâzım Hikmet Cultural Center (NHKM), one of the most popular cultural centers in Istanbul.
Philosophy can be described as an interaction centre of infinite number of dynamics that progressed and differentiated by affecting each other throughout the history. Although the history of philosophy examines philosophers, texts and periods individually, it has also been the history of interactions, i.e. affecting and being affected. The historical, multifaceted identity of the philosophy was also shaped by the correlations in between the philosophy to other disciplines as well as among the philosophers, themselves.
 
All types of interaction (interactions in between different regions and lands, unexpected historical links, contact of individuals or even the concept of inter - textuality itself) can be defined as one of the central sources for the history of philosophy.
 
On a heterogeneous basis full of conflict and complementation, every idea causes reaction and every idea transforms itself by transforming another one. A re-evaluation of history of philosophy seems to be exciting with an interdisciplinary point of view in both partial and large scales.

Pirandello’s Visual Philosophy: Imagination and Thought across Media
Edited by Lisa Sarti (BMCC, The City University of New York)
and Michael Subialka (University of Oxford)

In recent years English-language scholarship on Pirandello has begun to explore new directions that complement but also complicate the critical tradition around this seminal Italian modernist. Reflected in conference topics in the US and UK, as well as articles in various journals, this work expands on the ways in which Pirandello’s production spans not only cultures and continents but also media and traditions of philosophical inquiry. At the same time, Italian-language publications have placed increasing emphasis on aspects of Pirandello’s production that put him in dialogue with the visual arts, such as his own work as an amateur painter. Our volume aims to draw on the rich areas opened by these new insights to update the English-language scholarship with a book publication that will ground an expanded approach to Pirandello in theoretical and interdisciplinary frameworks.

The volume is situated at the juncture of the inter-medial study of Pirandello’s works and the exploration of his thought and its position in his intellectual and artistic context. Drawing on intersections with media such as film, the visual arts (photography, painting, etc.), music, and performance traditions, we are especially interested in the importance of the visual imagination to the unfolding of Pirandello’s rich worldview. In this sense we aim to open new avenues of discourse around Pirandello’s thought, acknowledging the central role of typical Pirandellian themes such as the clashes of form/life, illusion/reality, identity/uncertainty, etc., but also enlarging the scope of the discussion.

With these aims in mind, the topics of interest for the volume include, but are not limited to:

-          Pirandello’s participation in the visual arts and in other media

-          Imagination, fantasy, and creation as visual processes; the relation of inner images to philosophical stances or ways of thinking and understanding; the imagistic presentation of conceptual content

-          Modernist visuality, intellectual history and art history in relation to Pirandello’s visual thought
-          Music (Pirandello’s works as operas, and Pirandello’s own uses of music)
-          Existential drama and visual thought
-          The “utopian” effort to escape reality through artistic means, and the troubles of such an effort
 
Interested contributors are asked to submit an abstract proposal of around 300 words to  [email protected] no later than January 16, 2015. Proposals will be reviewed, and the editors will invite full manuscripts of approximately 7,000-9,000 words to be published in English (meaning contributors will need to ensure the fluency of their essays). Further details will be communicated to authors whose proposals are chosen for inclusion in the volume, which will be peer reviewed to guarantee the highest academic standards for publication.
