\nThis day-long symposium w ill be chaired by Yann Toma and Sandra Laugier. From the organizers:
\nWe have noticed it during the two previous symposia of our program: the pragmatist philosophy and in particular Dewey defends the idea that ae sthetics must not only be considered as the search for truths about art an d its creations but also as what concerns the experience of the persons wi th an artwork (a sensitive and active experience). The reception would thu s be the dynamic experience of an incarnated observer\, acting\, feeling i n his senses and his affects what is the work and what it makes him feel.< br />\n
\nThe political stake of the pragmatist aesthetics is to make sure that the strong aesthetic experiences remain open and access ible to the largest public and become even a «matter of ordinary conversat ion». It is then a matter of thinking about shared experience as a transmi ssion of values\, an important phenomenon for the moral\, political\, “edu cational” reflection of adults» (Cavell 1979\, 1981\, Shusterman\, Laugier 2019\, 2023\, Gerrits 2020). Thus\, this question of pragmatism addresses societal issues that concern all audiences\, not just from a broadcast/tr ansmission perspective. By focusing on experience and agency\, this way of approaching pragmatism involves the cultural audience in a broad way to t he point where it engages mediums such as television and in general digita l cultures.
\nThe concept of Post-Creation\, insofar as it pl ays a form of exteriority to an original Creation\, has all its place in a world where the strong aesthetic experiences remain open and accessible t o a wider public. It is a question of placing the creation beyond what is biased\, in the heart of a form of Third State of the artistic act in char ge of a heuristic and critical potential\, towards a form extracted from t he zone of influence of the world of the art as such. The idea of Post-Cre ation tends towards the universal that would be the fact of conceiving the creation beyond any not institutionalized academism. We will see how a po ssible emulation between the ordinary aesthetic and the shared experience of the Post-Creation is articulated and played\, where the experience of t he creation produces knowledge and transforms what is out of the specific field of perception of the art in so many new acting and reflexive spaces. In that\, the influence of the artistic creation on whole sections of the society\, domains of perception until now inaccessible\, becomes a stake of opening which results from the transformation of a form of ordinary aes thetics in a Post-Creation freed from the aesthetic channels of the contem porary art.

\nWelcome to “Unmasking Object ivity: A Critical Examination of the Nexus between Universal Truth Claims and Emergent Power Structures\,” a conference that plunges into the intric ate relationship between knowledge and power. In this conference\, we will uncover how epistemological standpoints intersect with systems of coercio n\, marginalization\, and oppression. Our topic extends to alternative vis ions of knowledge\, truth\, and learning\, offering the potential for shar ed beliefs while addressing the adverse impacts of entrenched power struct ures.
\nHow have claims to absolute\, objective\, or scientific trut h driven oppression through ideologies like religious absolutism\, colonia lism\, technocracy\, and scientific sexism and racism? Contemporary debate s further emphasize the significance of this intersection.
\nOur dis course will also scrutinize epistemic injustice\, examining whether univer salist epistemologies privilege specific knowledge systems while silencing valid alternatives. We aim to shed light on social and political issues o verlooked by dominant knowledge frameworks through inclusive dialogues. Th is conference fosters critical exploration and inclusive discourse\, drawi ng on interdisciplinary studies in philosophy\, sociology\, and political theory.
\nTogether\, we will assess the ethical implications of our epistemological practices and explore pathways to creating more equitable systems of knowledge and social learning. Join us at “Unmasking Objectivit y” as we navigate the intricate web of knowledge and power\, aiming for a just and inclusive future where the notion of objectivity is both scrutini zed and harnessed for social transformation.
\n\n\n\nThe importance of incorporating value pluralism into a theor y of justice is recognized in many conceptualizations of justice. This plu ralism is often seen as a reason to attend to a range of perspectives\, pe rspectives which can function as a source of information in determining wh ich principles should guide justice. However\, philosophy’s ability to pro perly attend to different perspectives has received extensive attention in the criticisms of various non-ideal theorists\, who argue that ideal-theo retical philosophy runs the risk of excluding important aspects of actual social problems. Taking these criticisms on board\, this paper builds on n on-ideal theory by arguing for a Wittgensteinian family resemblance approa ch to justice. I will explain how this linguistic practice-embedded unders tanding of justice can be a helpful tool for non-ideal theory\, as it can give us insight into why\, in various similar but different cases\, the no tion of justice is seen as applicable. In light of this approach\, I will suggest a reorientation of the pluralist demand towards an empirical start ing point.

While many people have argued that America needs to c ome to terms with or “work through” the racism in its history that has sha ped and continues to shape its present structures\, it remains difficult t o explain what connects this past and the present. Are we talking about on e racism with many different past and present forms? Or are there multiple racisms that only share some similar features? In this talk\, I draw atte ntion to how these divisions play out particularly in contemporary Black S tudies and argue that the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze can offer us resour ces for thinking about these questions through his discussions of repetiti on. I argue that understanding our conversations about structural racism a nd history as conversations about a racism that repeats\, can help us to b etter understand why racism seems to reappear\, how to think its disparate forms together\, and what presuppositions operate in many attempts to “wo rk through” the past.
\nBio: Eyo Ewara is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Loyola University Chicago. His teaching and re search explores the relationships between 20th Century Continental Philoso phy\, Critical Philosophy of Race\, and Queer Theory. His work has appear ed in Theory and Event\, Puncta\, Philosophy Today\, Critical Philosophy o f Race\, Political Theology\, and other venues. His current research proje ct is particularly interested in engaging work in Continental Philosophy\, Queer Theory\, and Black Studies to address questions of identity and dif ference amongst concepts of race\, forms of racism\, and forms of anti-rac ism. How can we better account for the relations between at times radicall y disparate concepts\, structures\, and practices such that they can all s pecifically and recognizably be called racial? What might our account of t hese relations say about our ability to address racism’s harms?
