On the theme of RESISTANCE. At the University of Greenwich, Maritime Campus, London, UK. August 26th - 28th 2004. Conference web site: http://www.gre.ac.uk/~jk13/SEP2004 The greatest thinkers and movements of European philosophy have been concerned to question and analyse the systems of thought, economies and patterns of behaviour that constitute the dominant ideology of their time. Modern European philosophy has attained its power by producing concepts and questions that interrupt the presuppositions and techniques of that order. However, the specificity of contemporary forms of power seems to rest in the fact that, far from being challenged by resistance, they thrive upon it; many of the old forms of resistance have not simply passed away, but have been effectively taken into the very economy they sought to break. This is the reality confronting philosophical thinking today. What can resistance mean in a situation where the current world-order seemingly possesses the capacity to incorporate all attempts to stand up to and against it? This year's conference invites contributors to explore and revitalise that strand within European Philosophy that has sought to analyse and challenge the mechanisms that hold life to a controlling order. Abstracts of approx. 200 words to be submitted by May 1st are invited in the following categories: o Panel proposals on the theme of 'Resistance' o Individual proposals on the theme of 'Resistance' o Individual and panel proposals in other areas of European Philosophy These may be sent in electronic form to: I.Conference-AT-gre.ac.uk Or mailed to: SEP 2004 Conference, Department of Philosophy, School of Humanities, University of Greenwich, Park Row, London SE10 9LS Conference web site: http://www.gre.ac.uk/~jk13/SEP2004 With the aid of the Forum for European Philosophy.
