Subject: LAST CALL: CFP ASCP conference


Dear Spoons via D&G list,
I keep trying to send this to Spoons Announcements but it doesn't seem to
get through. Assuming this isn't because of conscious editing, I hope you
don't mind if I post it here and if you could transmit it to the
Announcement board more successfully than I can, that would be great,
Melissa

ASCP CONFERENCE 1999
CALL FOR PAPERS

The Australasian Society for Continental Philosophy presents its
annual interdisciplinary conference:


1999 - TO BE DONE WITH JUDGEMENT
ethics, aesthetics, etc.

27-29 AUGUST 1999
SYDNEY AUSTRALIA


with special guests:
ALAIN BADIOU
(University of Paris VIII - Vincennes at Saint-Denis)
and STEVEN SHAVIRO
(Washington State University of Washington)

and a Round Table reflecting on the history of
Continental Philosophy in Australasia


The ASCP invites all those working in the field of continental
philosophy to participate in this annual forum.

The year 1999 calls up a time of 'judgement', a time also no doubt for
its critique.

'Judgement' is a word that in its passage across different contexts
conveys gestures as disparate as the strike of a gavel and the stroke of

a paintbrush, a hinge between the past and the future.

With the visit of Derrida to Australia, it seems also to be a good
moment to reflect on and judge the particular evolution of continental
philosophy in this End of the World.
