Fwd: Invitation to UPsalon Stammtisch - Anti-Racism-Working Group at the Institute of Philosophy

by Flora Löffelmann

Dear Institute of Philosophy! UPsalon would like to cordially invite you to our Stammtisch or "regular's table"! This time, we will use the Stammtisch for a first meeting of the critical Anti-Racism Working Group at the Institute of Philosophy. We discuss concerns, ideas and best practices at other departments, such as the Racism-Critical working group at the department of African Studies, and set up goals and aims for our own working group. You can find more information of the group here: https://afrika.univie.ac.at/en/about-us/wg-against-racism/ In line with this, we invite you to join us for a first meeting and discussion organised with UPSalon. The working group highly encourages participation from all levels. This will be a yet informal group of people who care about and are interested in taking up the topic of racism in the university ecosystem. This working group is concerned with the kinds of work, ideas and activities that improves awareness, enhance visibility, initiate discussions and interventions among all levels and practices of the institution. UPsalon are a group of doctoral and post-doctoral researchers; the initiative aims at creating a space and community in Vienna where underrepresented philosophers – such as women, gender minorities, racialised minorities, socioeconomically disadvantaged people and people disadvantaged by society – can connect on a regular basis. For more information, check out our website! People from all stages in their philosophical career are welcome, and we are especially excited to meet those who we have not yet met. Where? Tunnel Vienna, Florianigasse 39, 1080 Wien When? June 27th at 6 PM We are very much looking forward to meeting all of you! Do not hesitate to get in touch with any questions you may have. Best regards, UPsalon Mail: upsalon.philosophy(a)univie.ac.at Web: upsalon.univie.ac.at

Call for membership in the Working group against Racism at the Department of Philosophy

by Manu Sharma

Dear All Drawing from best practices at Racism - Critical working group at the department of African Studies, we are planning to found our own working group on the topic of racism, especially in the university context. You can find more information of the group here: https://afrika.univie.ac.at/en/about-us/wg-against-racism/ In line with this, we invite you to join us for a first meeting and discussion organised with UPSalon. The working group highly encourages participation from all levels. This will be a yet informal group of people who care about and are interested in taking up the topic of racism in the university ecosystem. This working group is concerned with the kinds of work, ideas and activities that improves awareness, enhances visibility, initiates discussions and interventions among all levels and practices of the institution. You can look at the website attached for a brief orientation. It is important to re-iterate, that our goal in doing this is to create a working group that shares a relationship of care with the issue of racism and it is not a career-building exercise. This also implies that racism needs to be recognised as an issue that affects us all and yet, those experiencing racism might also be people to keep in mind as central to expertise seeking, intervention making and delegation of authority. The hope is to have something that can be made continuous at the Philosophy department regardless of the presence of specific members. Please write to UPsalon <upsalon.philosophy(a)univie.ac.at> by 23rd of June if you would like to be a member of this group. We are planning our first meeting at the end of June/ beginning of July at the UPSalon Stammtisch with the goal of discussing aims, plans and ideas. We look forward to seeing you at the discussion. Best Manu

Sommerakademie "Philosophien der Komplexität! an der Universität für angewandte Kunst

by Institut für Philosophie

Guten Tag! in Beilage möchte ich ein Seminar, "Philosophien der Komplexität" ankündingen, die vom 04.07.2023 - 25.07.2023 an der Universität für angewandte Kunst, Wien stattfinden wird.Es handelt sich um eine Vortrags- und Diskussionsreihe, die in Kooperation und mit Unterstützung der Abteilung Medientheorie organisiert wird. Freue ich mich, wenn Sie das Seminar weiterleiten könnten und noch mehr auf eine Teilnahme! Registration and further information: arantzazu.saratxagaarregi(a)uni-ak.ac.at PHILOSOPHIEN DER KOMPLEXITÄT Die Sommerakademie „Philosophien der Komplexität“ besteht in einem explorativen Reflexionsraum, dessen Ziel es ist, auf die wesentlichen Merkmale der Komplexität tiefgründig einzugehen. Erscheinungen der Komplexität in den sozialen Systemen werden explorativ beobachtet und analysiert zwecks Erlangung eines Verständnisses von angesprochenen Herausforderungen, die zu einer handlungsmächtigen Ethik und einer neuen Organisation des Denkens führen. Komplexität steht heute für die Bezeichnung einer schwer begreifbaren Situation. Sie hat damit zu tun, dass die globalen Ereignisse und Probleme, die sich in einem großen Rahmen (Pandemie, Krieg, ökologische Krise) abspielen, eine unmittelbare Wirkung auf die lokale Ebene ausüben. Sie scheinen unvorhersehbar und unbestimmbar. Große Unvorhersehbarkeiten machen die Entscheidungen schwierig. Vor der Überwältigung durch komplexe Probleme wird eine KI-Maschinerie erstellt, um Lösungen für komplexe Systeme zu finden. Allerdings bleibt die Unkenntnis immer noch eine Frage, die der Komplexität innewohnt und nicht von einem technischen Mittel gelöst werden kann. Insofern hat die Sommerakademie das Ziel, Komplexität nicht nur begreifbar zu machen, sondern die Handlungsfähigkeit aller sozialen Akteur*innen bewusst zu machen und ein agiles Denken zu fördern. Die Komplexität stellt heute die Frage, wie Ordnungen bzw. neue Ordnungen aus der Verflechtung von miteinander interagierenden Elementen hervorgehen. Diese Frage wollen wir in der Sommerakademie behandeln, mit besonderer Aufmerksamkeit auf: Wer trägt die Verantwortung für neue komplexe Ordnungen? Welche Erkenntniswege sind vorhanden und möglich, mit denen soziale Agenten die miteinander verflochtenen Phänomene, die die heutige soziale, ökonomische und ökologische globale Lage bestimmen, bewältigen können? Das Ziel dieses Projekts ist es, über die Epistemologie aktueller, sehr herausfordernder sozialer und wissenschaftlicher Paradigmen der Komplexität zu reflektieren. I.

Ökologische Relationalität *PHILOSOPHIES OF COMPLEXITY* The Summer Academy "Philosophies of Complexity" consists of an explorative space of reflection that aims to delve deeply into the essential features of complexity. Phenomena of complexity in social systems will be exploratively observed and analysed in order to gain an understanding of the challenges raised, leading to an actionable ethics and a new organisation of thinking. Complexity is now used to describe a situation that is difficult to understand. It has to do with the fact that global events and large-scale problems (pandemics, wars, ecological crises) have an immediate impact at the local level. They appear unpredictable and unknowable. Unpredictability makes it difficult to make decisions. Before being overwhelmed by complex problems, AI machines are being created to find solutions to complex systems. However, uncertainty remains an inherent problem of complexity and cannot be solved by technical means. In this respect, the Summer Academy aims not only to make complexity comprehensible, but also to make all social actors* aware of their capacity to act and to promote agile thinking. Complexity today raises the question of how orders or new orders emerge from the entanglement of interacting elements. We want to address this question in the Summer Academy, with a particular focus on: Who is responsible for new complex orders? What ways of knowing are available and possible for social actors to manage the entangled phenomena that define today's social, economic and ecological global situation? The aim of this project is to reflect on the epistemology of current, highly challenging social and scientific paradigms of complexity. I.
