Subject: Interrogating Caribbean Philosophical & Intellectual Traditions | Cave Hill Philosophy Symposium | 16-18/11/16
Cave Hill Philosophy Symposium (CHiPS) 2016
Conversations XII: Interrogating Caribbean Philosophical & Intellectual Traditions
November 16 - 18, 2016
Hosted by the Department of History and Philosophy, Faculty of Humanities and Education
The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, Barbados
“One of the peculiar features of Caribbean intellectual life is the near absence of an explicitly cultivated tradition. Yet the region has produced authors such as C. L. R. James, Frantz Fanon, and Wilson Harris, whose works are brimming with original philosophical insights and arguments.” (Paget Henry)
The theme of the twelfth edition of Cave Hill Philosophy Symposium (CHiPS) centres on interrogating Caribbean philosophical and intellectual traditions. In this endeavour, we seek papers exploring the variety of philosophical and intellectual issues within, or relevant to, the Caribbean region. We are interested in papers that examine the theoretical foundations of issues pertinent to the Caribbean: issues such as those pertaining to investigation of identity, race, and social change; the question of diaspora; slavery, colonialism, and reparations; aesthetics and ethics; religion, spirituality, and culture; gender and sexuality; regionalism and integration; ramifications of CSME.
In keeping with the spirit of our conversations, we hope to bring together thinkers operating in and across different cultural and philosophical traditions as well as other disciplines that share a boundary with philosophy, disciplines such as cultural studies, critical theory, sociology, political science, psychology, anthropology, theology, etc.
Abstracts (300-500 words) are due by August 31, 2016 to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. Feedback on abstracts will be provided within a week of submission. Participants whose abstracts are accepted by the vetting committee will then be required to submit their completed papers via email as an attachment in Open or LibreOffice, Word, or Wordperfect by the firm deadline of October 14, 2016. These papers will then be posted online for other participants to consult prior to the conference with the intention that time at the Symposium can be devoted more to discussion than to exposition of the written papers. Further information and some papers from earlier symposia will be available at: http://www.cavehill.uwi.edu/fhe/histphil/chip<http://www.cavehill.uwi.edu/fhe/histphil/chips.aspx>s.aspx
