Across the disciplines of aesthetics, phenomenology, history and psychology, the conference explores the manifold ways in which silence, representation and expression interact to address the singularity of traumatic experiences in which meaning struggles to take hold. Central questions include: What can an image do in the face of the unimaginable? How can it account for the singularity of an event that escapes conscious expression? What does discursive silence reveal about such events, and can spaces of silence create occasions for critical engagement with the unresolved past? The program for the two days is as follows: // 6. November · Friday - 10:00–12:00 Guided Tour at the Jewish Museum Vienna (please register, see below) - 13:00 Official Start of the Conference - 13:30 Sabine Apostolo (Jewish Museum Vienna): Changing Constellations of Silence: Holocaust Memory Across Generations - 14:15 Marija Petrovic (HFBK Hamburg): Across the Silent Time of Interrupted Communications - 15:00 COFFEE BREAK - 15:30 Leo Dressel (Academy of Fine Arts Vienna): In-Between Layers of Time – The Potential of Silence and Emptiness for Narrative Media in the Traumatized Space - 16:15 Fabian Buxhofer (Academy of Fine Arts Vienna): Mnemoscape: Landscape as Collective Memory - 16:45 COFFEE BREAK - 17:15 Emily-Rose Baker (University of Southampton): Listening and/as Looking: Photographing Post-Holocaust Landscapes // 7.

Einladung & Multiplikation: uniMind-Lecture "KI-Narrative jenseits vom Hype"

by philosophie＠univie.ac.at

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe Kolleg*innen, wir möchten Sie über die am 30.11.2026 stattfindende uniMind-Lecture <https://postgraduatecenter.univie.ac.at/e/existenzielle-risiken-nebenwirkun gen-ki-narrative-jenseits-vom-hype> Existenzielle Risiken & Nebenwirkungen: KI-Narrative jenseits vom Hype informieren, bei der <https://ufind.univie.ac.at/de/person.html?id=114017> Eugenia Stamboliev, eine Mitarbeiterin unseres Instituts, mitwirkt. Nähere Informationen finden Sie in der unten stehenden E-Mail. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Katherina Krobath -- Institutskoordination Dipl.-Ing. Katherina Geneviève Krobath, BEd Andreas Wintersperger, MA <mailto:philosophie@univie.ac.at> philosophie(a)univie.ac.at +43(1)4277 46401 Institut für Philosophie Universitätsstraße 7, Raum A316 1010 Wien <https://philosophie.univie.ac.at/> https://philosophie.univie.ac.at/ From: Lena Zauchner <lena.zauchner(a)univie.ac.at> Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2026 1:41 PM To: philosophie(a)univie.ac.at Subject: Einladung & Multiplikation: uniMind-Lecture KI-Narrative jenseits vom Hype Liebe Kolleg*innen des Instituts für Philosophie, wir möchten Sie herzlich zur uniMind-Lecture <https://postgraduatecenter.univie.ac.at/e/existenzielle-risiken-nebenwirkun gen-ki-narrative-jenseits-vom-hype> Existenzielle Risiken & Nebenwirkungen: KI-Narrative jenseits vom Hype mit Eugenia Stamboliev und Christo Buschek einladen. Die Veranstaltung findet in Kooperation mit der Arbeiterkammer an der Universität Wien statt. Ein Hinweis in eigener Sache: Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn Sie diese Veranstaltung über Ihre Kommunikationskanäle (Veranstaltungskalender, Webseite, Newsletter o. Ä.) mit Studierenden oder Interessierten teilen könnten. Für jede Form der Unterstützung sind wir Ihnen sehr dankbar! Existenzielle Risiken (x-risks) prägen die öffentliche Debatte über Künstliche Intelligenz: Wird KI eines Tages außer Kontrolle geraten und die menschliche Existenz bedrohen? Ist KI schon klüger als wir? Solche Zukunftsszenarien werfen wichtige Fragen auf, liefern aber selten gute Antworten. Während die Aufmerksamkeit oft auf hypothetische Katastrophen und Superintelligenzen gerichtet ist, geraten jene Risiken aus dem Blick, die bereits heute wirksam sind. In dieser uniMind-Lecture diskutieren Eugenia Stamboliev und Christo Buschek über KI-Narrative sowie über Versprechen, Ängste und Realitäten. Welche gesellschaftlichen und ethischen Nebenwirkungen hat der gegenwärtige KI-Hype und welche politischen und epistemischen Konsequenzen entstehen, wenn wir KI als Infrastruktur und Machtinstrument begreifen? Welche Risiken werden sichtbar gemacht, welche marginalisiert und wer profitiert davon? Unterziehen Sie gängige KI-Narrative gemeinsam mit unseren Expert*innen einem Faktencheck und diskutieren Sie mit! Wann: Montag, 30. November 2026, 18:00-19:30 Uhr Wo: Alte Kapelle am Campus der Universität Wien (Spitalgasse 2, Hof 2.8, 1090 Wien) <https://postgraduatecenter.univie.ac.at/e/existenzielle-risiken-nebenwirkun gen-ki-narrative-jenseits-vom-hype> >> Weitere Infos & Anmeldung Mit besten Grüßen Lena Zauchner Lena Zauchner, BA (sie/ihr; she/her) Offene Weiterbildung Universität Wien Postgraduate Center Campus der Universität Wien Spitalgasse 2, Hof 1, Eingang 1.5.4, 1090 Wien T +43-1-4277-10832 M +43-664-817 6389 <javascript:linkTo_UnCryptMailto('ocknvq,ngpc0bcwejpgtBwpkxkg0ce0cv');> lena.zauchner(a)univie.ac.at <https://postgraduatecenter.univie.ac.at/> postgraduatecenter.univie.ac.at <http://facebook.com/postgraduatecenter> <https://www.instagram.com/postgraduatecenter.univie/> <https://www.youtube.com/PostgraduateVienna> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/postgraduatecenter/> <https://massmailer.univie.ac.at/site/postgraduatecenter/108pgc/subscribe/ar ticle/119.html> » Möchten Sie unseren Newsletter erhalten?

Online Lecture: N. Katherine Hayles, 28.10. - Event Series "Thinking Nature"

by Ralf Gisinger

Dear all, We send you a warm invitation to the following online lecture ("Thinking Nature"): 28.10.2026, 6:30pm (CET): N. Katherine Hayles - "Analog Lifeworlds: How Organisms Evolved Analog Computing and Then Humans Reinvented It" (online), part of the event series "Thinking Nature" that has been taking place at the Department of Philosophy since 2025 (more information here [1]). Zoom-Link: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/62003446384?pwd=JVXK84VKSmpijMFWPF4kHCUEgSXPvu.1 [2] Abstract: Digital computation is now so dominant that many forget the tradition of analog computing, which in the 1930s and 1940s was the preferred computing method for those who needed fast real-time results. This is especially unfortunate because the entire biosphere operates primarily on analog computation. The scientific discipline that explores the analog computational processes in living organisms is natural computing (sometimes also understood as including bio-inspired computing). This rapidly emerging field has an impressive array of research results that show the myriad subtle, complex, and multi-layered analog computational processes that organisms to cognize, communicate, anticipate and learn--in short, to survive and flourish. Because the area of the humanities interested in computation is called "Digital Humanities", a sister branch called "Analog Humanities" should be launched. It can explore the important connections between biological and technological computing, as well as connect with the research results of natural computing to understand its implications for humanistic inquiry. This talk will offer a definition of computing, explain how analog computing differs from digital computing, assess its distinctive benefits and limitations, and discuss hybrid digital/analog technologies, such as Large Language Models (LLMs). Katherine Hayles is the Distinguished Research Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the James B. Duke Professor Emerita from Duke University. Her twelve print books include _Postprint: Books and Becoming Computational_ (2021), _Unthought: The Power of the Cognitive Nonconscious_ (2017), _How We Think: Digital Media and Contemporary Technogenesis_ (2015), _How We Became Posthuman: Virtual Bodies in Literature, Cybernetics and Informatics_ (1999). Her latest 2025 book is _Bacteria to AI: Human Futures with our Nonhuman Symbionts._ THINKING NATURE Lecture and Workshop Series, University of Vienna 2025-2026 Organised by Eva-Maria Aigner and Ralf Gisinger Research Group "Poststructuralism, Gender Theory, Psychoanalysis" Deparatment of Philosophy, University of Vienna More information: poststrukturalismus.univie.ac.at [3] Links: ------ [1] https://poststrukturalismus.univie.ac.at/veranstaltungen/n-katherine-hayles… [2] https://univienna.zoom.us/j/62003446384?pwd=JVXK84VKSmpijMFWPF4kHCUEgSXPvu.1 [3] https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpoststruk…

IVC Talk October 29th: Alexander Murphy (IVC Fellow; Corvinus University, Budapest) on "A Humanistic Approach to the Two Images"

by Valentina Kantner

Dear all, our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Alexander Murphy (IVC Fellow; Corvinus University, Budapest), who will give a talk on October 29th from 4.45-6.15 pm. All are welcome! ________________________________________________________________________________ PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE COLLOQUIUM TALK: Alexander Murphy (IVC Fellow; Corvinus University, Budapest): "A Humanistic Approach to the Two Images" Date: 29/10/2026 Time: 16:45-18:15 Venue: Lecture Hall 2 [1], TP (Tiefparterre/lower ground floor), Staircase 5, Court 3, Main Building, Universitätsring 1, 1010 Vienna Abstract: Sometimes our scientific advances demonstrate that our ordinary ways of speaking about the world are wrong. Sometimes, however, they show exactly how our ordinary descriptions get things right. In this paper, I give a framework for working out which of the two cases we are in. I suggest we think about how science can reveal the open texture in our ordinary language, in Friedrich Waismann's sense. When it does so, we should respond by thinking about what we want our ordinary talk to do for us. This will guide us in how to "close" our ordinary concepts which will, in turn, help us shape the relationship between our scientific and ordinary pictures of reality. As a case study, I'll examine the exchange between Arthur Eddington and Susan Stebbing regarding the significance of the Rutherford-Bohr model of the atom for our ordinary solidity judgements. The major consequence of this proposal is that it requires us to reflect on ourselves and our lives as well as the world. To determine whether our ordinary talk is proven wrong by science we must think about what we want to do with our everyday speech. This requires taking a leaf out of Bernard Williams' book. Namely, it requires doing philosophy as a humanistic discipline. Links: ------ [1] https://wienerkreis.univie.ac.at/fileadmin/user_upload/p_wiener_kreis/Gebae…

“Creativity and Ontology” Workshop – 23–24 October, Erika-Weinzierl-Saal

by Erik Kuravsky

The workshop “Creativity and Ontology” will be held on 23–24 October in the Erika-Weinzierl-Saal. Workshop description: The workshop explores how creativity across various domains (e.g., thinking, art, science, etc.) raises ontological questions or even suggests specific ontologies. On one hand, contemporary cognitive sciences have made efforts to demonstrate that creativity—despite its apparent opposition to algorithmic, process-driven thinking—can be reconciled with traditional metaphysical realism and the correspondence theory of truth. On the other hand, the phenomenon of creativity has been a significant factor in challenging the notion of an a priori, pre-determined world structure—a paradigm often referred to as "classical ontology" and commonly traced back to Ancient Greek philosophy, such as Plato’s theory of Ideas. A number of influential thinkers have pointed to the need for a new ontology that accounts for creativity, including Thomas Kuhn, Friedrich Nietzsche, Nelson Goodman, Martin Heidegger, Henri Bergson, and Gilles Deleuze, to name just a few. This workshop provides a platform to discuss the role of creativity in various philosophical and scientific domains and to examine whether the ontologies assumed in these fields require revision in light of creativity—or whether they already offer a sufficient framework to accommodate it. It also challenges the widely held contemporary assumption that classical, "ancient" ontologies are inherently opposed to the creativity-driven demands of modern critiques of metaphysical realism. Program and flyer attached. Best wishes, Erik Kuravsky
