How do we define i maginaries and narratives in relation to our political and social life? Ho w can they become normative and generate conceptual and practical shifts? And who is in a position to shape\, direct\, and take ownership of these e mergent conceptions?
\nThis conference focuses on the current debate on political imaginaries and narratives to investigate some of these ques tions. As a starting point\, we propose to challenge standard Marxist or e pistemological approaches to the topic that either interpret imaginaries a nd narratives as ideological projections (a product of false consciousness ) or merely as individual\, cognitive faculties. Rather\, we suggest think ing about imaginaries and narratives as larger sensuous and embodied pract ices that re-orient material structures of domination and allow for a refl ective rearticulation of collective demands. In particular\, we set out to clarify: the meaning of “imaginaries” and/or “narratives” as forms of sen se-making\; their ability to shift existing discourses and power relations \; the way in which they foster different ways of feeling\, seeing\, actin g-in\, and experiencing the world in a time of crisis\; the way in which t hey are embedded in artistic and literary practices\; and the way in which they address—or fail to address—marginalized subjects.
\nWe invite papers that focus on the concepts of “social imaginary” and “narrative\,” as well as on the connection between the two\, and on their political and ethical implications. It is our conviction that a critical understanding o f these concepts can only emerge from attending to how they are practicall y embodied and situated in our practices. In this spirit\, we welcome\, in addition to papers aimed at conceptual clarification\, papers that provid e specific accounts of alternative forms of praxis\, including (but not li mited to) leftist\, feminist\, anti-racist\, decolonial\, abolitionist\, i ndigenous\, environmentalist\, and utopian imaginaries and narratives.

Abstract:
It is a common assumption that ethics mus t serve as the cornerstone of politics. Yet abstract moral arguments have always been used for justifying all kinds of atrocities\; ethical sensitiv ity and compassion have been expressed towards particular kinds of victims \, while totally ignoring others.
\nThe liberal West\, in particular \, continually manifests such blindness. It is horrified by non-Western op pressive methods\, but turns a blind eye to their Western equivalents.
\nThe gratification of holding the moral high ground consistently serve s as a political instrument in the hands of those seeking to shore up the existing order.
\nIn The Poverty of Ethics\, philosopher and activis t Anat Matar argues for the conceptual primacy of political discourse over ethics and claims that only the political force which stands for equality \, justice and democracy – the Left – can provide the coordinates for an e thical life under conditions of global injustice.
\nAppealing to phi losophical ideas on the essence of language\, Matar shows how the ethos of the Left\, as it has evolved over years\, underlies and gradually forms t he basis for ethics.
\nStruggles against slavery\, racism\, coloniza tion and militarization\, protests against exploitation and the capitalist order\, the feminist movement\, global demands for climate action – all t hese are primarily motivated by a deep understanding of Left heritage rath er than by abstract ethical requirements or by airy sensitivities. They\, in turn\, shape and reshape our notion of moralit

He imagined an institute “in which philosophers \, sociologists\, economists\, historians\, and psychologists are brought together in permanent collaboration” (Horkheimer 1993\, 9). The institute would not work with a single theory but would let data lead to new hypothe ses (Horkheimer 1993\, 10). But the work of Horkheimer and colleagues rare ly lived up to the 1931 vision of an interdisciplinary\, empirically groun ded approach to culture. To understand why\, my paper will juxtapose Horkh eimer’s and Adorno’s history of humanity\, as it is set out in Dialectic o f Enlightenment\, with current research on the development of early human cultures by Richard Wrangham\, Sarah Blaffer Hardy\, Kim Sterelny\, Joseph Henrich and Cecilia Heyes. The comparison with recent research in anthrop ology\, sociology\, philosophy\, and cognitive science reveals some of the deep conceptual commitments that limit Horkheimer’s and Adorno’s focus on instrumental reason and conceptual violence. By contrast\, current approa ches jointly suggest that human subjectivity is scaffolded and embedded\; that cooperation is the necessary default for cultural transmission\; that learning occurs in context through imitation\; and that customs and insti tutions develop contingently and by accident through processes of cooperat ion and collaboration. These new insights invite a radical re-thinking of the phenomena Horkheimer and Adorno grouped together as ‘mimesis.’ The res ulting picture of environmentally embedded process of cultural evolution i s a first step towards revitalizing the interdisciplinary potential of the early Frankfurt School\, and suggesting new\, practical\, productive\, an d sustainable routes such critique can take in the 21st century.\n \n \nBi o:\n \nBenjamin Morgan is Professor of German and Comparative Literature a t the University of Oxford\, and a Fellow of Worcester College.
