Conferences

I thought I should update everyone with information on upcoming conferences which I plan to attend:

24 April 2009: Speculative Materialism and Speculative Realism in Bristol. Conferees include Ray Brassier, Graham Harman, and Iain Hamilton Grant.  Quentin Meillassoux was originally scheduled for the conference but is unable to attend in person; however, he will still be sending his paper.  This is highly recommended for anyone who has a blog reading list that is similar to mine on the side ( –>).

3 – 7 August 2009: Deleuze Camp. This is a warm-up to…
10-12 August 2009: CONNECTDeleuze.  Both are in Köln, Germany (Cologne). This is the annual Deleuze Studies conference and features a mostly “who’s who” of Deleuze scholarship (minus John Protevi?).  Highly recommended for anyone interested in Deleuzian thought.  The CFP for the conference is open through April.

22-24 April 2010: Resonance(s) in Istanbul.  This conference’s focus is on philosophy, arts, and politics.  While not as huge as the above conference, it will be headlining a healthy dosage of Deleuzians.  The CFP is open through August.

November

The call for papers for the annual conference of the AAR includes a nice little group on theology and continental philosophy (that sounds vaguely familiar) seeking papers that interact with Charles Taylor and/or Deleuze and Guattari.  I had wanted to submit a paper to the Deleuze conference dealing with using Deleuze in theology, now it looks like I have two places to shoot.  The 1,000 word proposal is due in about 5 weeks.  Oh, and the conference is in Montreal the second week of November.
