The Interdisciplinary Coalition of North American Phenomenologists (ICNAP) conference, “Understanding Embodiment,” will be taking place May 24 – 26 at Ramapo College, New Jersey.
The deadline for the submission of abstracts has been extended until March 1, and so there is still time to submit proposals. We welcome works that feature phenomenology in all academic disciplines. In addition to presentations employing phenomenology in single disciplines, we are interested broadly in issues related to theories of embodiment. This includes, but is not limited to, theoretical expositions of the phenomenological conditions of embodiment as they are (1) developed and contested within the phenomenological tradition, (2) taken up and pursued within specific disciplinary contexts, and (3) applied in research, clinical and other practical contexts.
Keynote addresses will be given by James Phillips (“Karl Jaspers as Phenomenological Psychiatrist: Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the ‘General Psychopathology’”) and Lewis R. Gordon (“Living Phenomenology”).
ICNAP (http://www.icnap.org/) was founded by colleagues from Architecture, Communicology, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology, and the organization extends an invitation to colleagues and students in all academic disciplines who are interested in forging interdisciplinary connections within phenomenology. Now entering its fifth year, we who have been involved find that understanding the work of phenomenological scholars at all levels of expertise across the full spectrum of disciplines is a most informative and enlivening experience.
We hope that you will consider joining us at the conference and encourage you to distribute the call for papers (available on the ICNAP website) to interested students and colleagues. Again, submissions for panels and individual papers are requested by March 1, 2013, and volunteers for panel moderators are also welcome.
