CALL FOR PAPERS
IMAGES OF A DEMYSTIFIED WORLD: CRITICAL THEORY
May 13-15, 2009
John Cabot University – Rome
John Cabot University of Rome is hosting the third international
conference on Critical Theory, which will be held at its campus in Rome,
Italy – Via della Lungara 233.
The conference will examine the importance and the developments of the
Frankfurt School by addressing both the philosophical tradition of the
early stages of Critical Theory – and in particular the works of Walter
Benjamin, Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer and Herbert Marcuse – as
well as the application of their theories to our contemporary society.
In order to reflect the wide range of topics addressed by Critical
Theory, the conference will cover different aspects of philosophical
reflection on politics, aesthetics, sociology, technology, literature
and any other relevant field of study.
The conference will be held at John Cabot University on May 13-15, 2009.
It will begin on Wednesday morning and end by Friday afternoon. During
the sessions, each speaker will have 40 minutes. All presentations will
