La pensée décoloniale face à l’université néolibérale et à l’extractivisme épistémologique
Expériences en Amérique latine
La logique mercantile et accumulative de l’extractivisme colonial mise en place dans les systèmes coloniaux d’Amérique latine opère de la même manière au niveau épistémologique. Aujourd’hui, la majorité des intellectuels et des académiques des Nords et des Suds, exproprient en effet des gestes et des discours authentiquement contre-hégémoniques des mouvements sociaux populaires, en les convertissant en monnaie d’échange d’une académie élitiste et imitative qui dépolitise leurs expressions de résistance, en les échangeant contre les privilèges offerts par l’université libérale. Comment restaurer les savoirs et les expériences niés et invisibillisés, capables de rompre et de se confronter au renouvellement croissant des formes politiques autoritaires de la plantation et de l’encomienda ?

Cuando decidimos abordar el estudio de la “literatura africana”, nos enfrentamos a una serie de problemas, en tanto campo complejo de tensiones, de núcleos constitutivos, de perspectivas, inherentes a toda etiqueta formada por la palabra literatura y un gentilicio. Una dificultad no menor la encontramos en los planes de estudios de las carreras de Letras en Argentina cuyo “patrón cognitivo” (Quijano 2017) aún persiste dentro de los rasgos de un patrón de poder fundado en la colonialidad: el centro no ha sido del todo desplazado, para decirlo con wa Thiong’o (2014). El eurocentrismo académico en nuestro país perdura en el escaso interés que el pensamiento africano y afrodiaspórico ocupa en las carreras de Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales, con destacadas excepciones siempre individuales o colectivas pero rara vez institucionale.

Rhythm is a central element in the creation of meaning in art, and its configuration is such that it requires a multi, inter and transdisciplinary approach. The difference of materials, procedures and events masks the resemblance of rhythmic phenomena that are similar in different arts and hides their identity or their homology. In the work of some scholars, the concepts do not seem to belong to a particular artistic discipline, being rather characteristic of the rhythmic phenomenon. The objective of this conference is to provide an instance for exchanging knowledge, concerns and aspirations for those who have been devoting themselves to the study of rhythm and artistic creation on the subject.

Call for papers - Prehistory and Antiquity
Dialogues in Antiquity: Archetypes for a Contemporary World
Xth Conference on Classical Philology in honorem Giselle von der Walde
The expressive wealth of dialogue presents itself in numerous artistic and intellectual ways. The encounters between emotional and aesthetic resources, pedagogical and didactic purposes, as well as between claims of objectivity and scientific rigor, are fertile ground for the transdisciplinary inquiry characteristic of classical studies. This invites a diversity and multiplicity of perspectives for contributions in relation to ancient authors and their works. Investigating the history of dialogue since Antiquity also allows us to consider it as an archetype for the exchange of opinions and ideas. This is suitable for dealing with current problems that increasingly require the willingness to negotiate and rethink ideas and convictions, empathize with the feelings of others, and build agreements based on the examination of opposing arguments and points of view.

Figurations and Interlocutions: The Feminine Question in Walter Benjamin’s Oeuvre
Artefilosofia Journal
Even though he was a philosopher, not a poet, Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) thought poetically, says Hannah Arendt about his friend and life-long correspondent. In his oeuvre, the feminine appears through recurrent images whose meaning may vary according to the context, in different figurations and fictions. In agreement with these fictional figurations, one of his first essays presents the question of what a feminine culture or a feminine language would be (Metaphysik der Jugend, GS, II, I, 1977).

#MariellePresente - Transnational Resistances
The Gender and Diversity Journal, a feminist and queer review from the northeastern region of Brazil, invites everyone to submit articles, essays, interviews, field journals, reports and other texts for the special issue entitled "#MariellePresente: Transnational Resistances". The texts must describe and analyze the transnational responses following the assassination of the Brazilian Marielle Franco. She was a black woman from the favela, political activist, feminist and lesbian. She was murdered at the corner of a street in Rio de Janeiro in March 2018. Given the political nature of her assassination, many actions denouncing the crime were organized around the world.

Vilém Flusser, Walter Benjamin – The technical ambiguities
“Artefilosofia” Journal
In different moments of his work, Walter Benjamin reflects upon the question of technology and related issues such as work as the mediation between man and nature, conducting his critical analysis of progress. He says: “What’s the idea? to speak of progress to a world sinking into the rigidity of death. (...) The concept of progress must be grounded in the idea of catastrophe. That things are 'status quo' is the catastrophe. It is not an ever-present possibility but what in each case is given.” Marxism will also be reviewed by him according to his critical conception of progress: “Marx said that revolutions are the locomotive of world history.

13th International Congress of Aesthetics – Brazil
13th International Congress of Aesthetics – Brazil
The 13th International Congress of Aesthetics – Brazil, entitled “Os fins da arte”, aims to highlight recurring themes in the history of philosophical aesthetics, elaborating the already constant ambiguity in its title, namely: “fins”. The term refers to the millenarian discussion about the uses of art in the past, present, and future. This takes on the important question about the autonomy of art and the regime of its heteronomy that not only asserted itself in its beginnings, but still imposes itself in the form of market demands tending to disfigure the original impetus of important aesthetic manifestations.

The circulation of discourse, pratices, people, diplomatic relations and sociability networks (19th-21st centuries)
Cette année, le Chili commémore la traversée des Andes par San Martín et O’Higgins, et pour compléter les manifestations organisées à cette occasion, il nous a semblé opportun d’ouvrir les frontières du Chili et de nous interroger sur ses relations avec le monde extérieur.

Depuis la nuit des temps, l’humanité essaie de se réunir pour échapper aux dangers visibles (animaux sauvages, tribus ennemis, clans hostiles, cataclysmes de toute sorte) et invisibles (esprits malins, spectres, fantasmagories...), enfin, par amour, par peur, par haine ou par devoir, - par n’importe lequel de ces « géants de l’âme » – hommes et femmes mettent en scène une mythique réunion où tous puissent partager des objectifs communs, une destinée ou une mission, un projet, pour provisoire qu’il soit, ou pour utopique que cela paraisse aux yeux des incrédules.
