[Commlist] Silence and sayability: The 4th Ereignis Conference

Fri Apr 26 11:45:14 GMT 2024





CfA: Pausing Time/Timing the Pause: sayability in the arts, philosophy, and politics, the 4th Ereignis Conference, August 10-11.

**Deadline for proposals: 1 June, 2024**

“The silence was an intense roar.” (Jack Kerouac, *The Dharma Bums*)

“The most important thing in life cannot be said, only written, to twist a famous saying by Jacques Derrida. So I try to give words to the silent speech. [...] In these pauses there can be so much, or so little. That something cannot be said, that something doesn’t want to be said, or is best being said by saying nothing at all. Still, I’m fairly certain that what speaks most through the pauses is silence.” (Jon Fosse, Nobel Lecture 2024)

“There is a link between the body and what is called in French *l'esprit de corps*. If most organizations -- the Church, the army, political parties, industrial firms, etc. -- put such a great emphasis on bodily disciplines, it is because obedience consists in large part in belief, and belief is what the body (*corps*) concedes even when the mind (*l'esprit*) says no.” (Pierre Bourdieu, “Programme for a Sociology of Sport”)

Join us for Pausing Time/Timing the Pause: sayability in the arts, philosophy, and politics, the 4th Ereignis Conference, August 10-11, in Gdynia, Poland, and online. Confirmed keynote speakers: Matthew Goulish (School of the Art Institute of Chicago), Chris Norris (Cardiff), and Anda Pleniceanu (Inscriptions). Publication opportunities. Deadline for proposals: 1 June, 2024.

Key questions for this year’s Ereignis conference are:

* What kind of speech, or speech event, enables the silent to come forward?
* How can that which cannot be said be alluded or referred to in speech?
* How is the relation between speech and silence challenged by the an increasing awareness of non-human speech?
* What are the socio-political ramifications of these relations?
