“New Forms of Realism in Contemporary Philosophy”: Ohrid (Macedonia) 26 June- 3 July, 2015
Course description of “New Forms of Realism in Contemporary Philosophy” summer program:
Course director: Katerina Kolozova (ISSHS)
The joint summer school program for 2015, carried out by ISSHS-Skopje and IISHSS (International Institute of Studies of Humanities and Social Sciences, based in Athens), focuses on the recent trends of realism in contemporary philosophy which has been labeled often erroneously under a single and vague category such as “speculative realism” or “new materialism” etc. Unpacking such generalizations and aiming at specific authors who have generated distinct strands of thought that nonetheless constitute what we have vaguely termed “new realisms in philosophy,” we conceptualized the sub-courses:
-” The non-standard philosophy of François Laruelle”; sub-course leader: François Laruelle (Ohrid).
– “Non-standard epistemologies”; sub-course leader Anne Françoise Schmid (Ohrid).
– “Magic Realism and Socialist Realism: Arts and Persuasion”; sub-course leader Svetlana Slapšak (Ohrid).
– “Exploration of possibilities for realist readings in contemporary feminist philosophy in line with non-standard philosophy and the writings of Marx”; sub-course leader: Katarina Kolozova (Ohrid-Athens).
Each sub-course leader will provides titles of lectures and literature lists as well as information about the organization of classes in terms of their format. The organizers encourage employment of a variety of formats, such as master classes, lectures, workshops, etc.
Selection process: Members of the boards of the International Institute in Athens and of ISSHS will form the organizing committee and selection committee that will review the applications.
