To attend the conference : Please use the entrance located at 1 rue Victor Cousin To attend sessions in the Amphi Michelet: Please use the entrance located at 46 rue Saint-Jacques 60 rue des écoles 60 rue des Institut nlandais In this age of global circulation, the borders that determine and isolate particular domains are becoming ever more fluid, be they physical, cultural or conceptual. This is no less true in academia, notably as regards the relation between philoso- phy and the performing arts. The distinctions between these two disciplines are being challenged and reevaluated, attributing philosophical qualities to the act of performance while exploring the implications of philosophy in action, philosophy enacted.
Following the success of the international conference “Images and Functions of the Theater in Contemporary French Philosophy” (ENS Ulm, org. CIEPFC, Labo LAPS, Dimitra Panopoulos, Flore Garcin-Marrou, 10-11/2012), this next confe- rence continues the investigation into the problematic relation between theater and philosophy, this time from an Anglo-American point of view. New crossings and transfers between ideas and the stage, the abstract and the concrete imply a fundamental shift in perspective that unites philosophy and performance. A brand new field is developing, called Performance Philosophy in English and Philo-Per- formance in French, which studies and encourages the dramatic embodiment of ideas.
With over 100 scholars and performers from 23 different countries on the program, the conference aims to promote cross-cultural interaction with a rich diversity of perspectives. Beyond reflections on the theater and performance as literary refe- rences or working concepts, this conference strives to understand how the various experiments of contemporary Anglo-American thinkers disrupt traditional forms of philosophical discourse and suggest that academia is leaning towards innovative forms of “performance philosophy.”
