Chamada: Teoria Política - Problemas Normativos e Conceituais (ANPOCS/2018)

Seguindo o exemplo dos últimos anos, o encontro anual da ANPOCS de 2018 contará com um SPG dedicado a pesquisas de teoria política. O SPG deste ano, coordenado por Luís Falcão (UFF) e Lucas Petroni (Cebrap), tem como tema trabalhos de teoria política interessados em problemas normativos e/ou conceituais. De acordo com a estrutura da ANPOCS, os SPGs são dedicados à discussão de pesquisas em andamento, tendo como foco privilegiado a produção de pós-graduandos(as) e jovens pesquisadores(as). Não é exagero afirmar que, ao longo dos anos, os SPGs tornaram-se um dos principais espaços de discussão e produção de conhecimento da ANPOCS. 

A ementa do SPG pode ser encontrada abaixo e as inscrições terminam no dia 14/abril. A lista completa de SPGs e Grupos de Trabalho (GT) da ANPOCS 2018 pode ser acessada aqui.

42º Encontro Anual da ANPOCS

22 a 26 de outubro
Caxambu/MG

SPG43 Teoria Política: Problemas Normativos e Conceituais
Coordenação: Lucas Cardoso Petroni (CEBRAP), Luís Alves Falcão (UFF)

O presente SPG visa fomentar o debate de questões e problemas do mundo moderno e contemporâneo tal como elas são formulados pela teoria política. Desse modo, pretende-se que haja um diálogo construtivo entre as diferentes subáreas da teoria política, sendo aceitos trabalhos com perspectivas normativa, positiva e/ou histórica. A ideia que fundamenta a proposta se embasa na concepção de que a formulação e avaliação de argumentos normativos, de um lado, e a interpretação histórico-conceitual, de outro, são elementos constitutivos de uma teoria política orientada por questões conceituais e problemas normativos. Não é possível descrever/ interpretar sem produzir uma perspectiva atualizada e modificadora do status quo, como também não se pode refletir normativamente desvinculando-se integralmente de problemas e soluções postos no passado. Exemplos de reflexões que encontrão abrigo nesse SPG são: “a desigualdade econômica é justa?"; “qual a melhor forma de conceber o valor da liberdade?"; "como acomodar demandas culturais em uma sociedade pluralista?", “quais desafios o reconhecimento e a interseccionalidade de identidades colocam para as democracias contemporâneas?”; “qual a melhor forma de lidarmos com injustiças históricas?”.

CHAMADA DE ARTIGOS PARA O DOSSIÊ “DIREITAS LATINO-AMERICANAS NO SÉCULO XXI"

Organizadora: Camila Rocha

O ano de 2010, com a eleição de Sebastián Piñera no Chile, marcou o início de uma nova onda de governos de direita na América Latina, à qual o Brasil também se integrou em 2016 a partir do impeachment de Dilma Rousseff. Tendo em vista a importância deste fenômeno para a região, a Revista Leviathan, vinculada ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência Política da Universidade de São Paulo, abriu uma chamada de artigos para o Dossiê “Direitas Latino-Americanas no Século XXI” com enfoque na atuação de partidos, organizações civis, movimentos sociais, elites, mídia, militares bem como em dinâmicas eleitorais e governamentais. Serão aceitos artigos escritos em português, inglês e espanhol e a submissão dos textos deve ser realizada por meio do sistema online da Revista Leviathan até o dia 15 de junho de 2018

Além de artigos direcionados para o dossiê, a Revista Leviathan continua em fluxo contínuo para submissões de temática livre.

CALL FOR PAPERS: INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL CRITICAL THEORY 2018. RE-THINKING IDEOLOGY

Humboldt University Berlin

Why do people often accept, and even embrace, social and political conditions that seem to run counter to their own interests? How is it possible that we sometimes support forms of domination with our ways of behaving and thinking without intending or even realizing it? One answer to these questions refers to the notion of ideology. Ideologies are more or less coherent systems of practices and beliefs that shape how individuals relate to their social reality in ways that distort their understanding of what is wrong with that reality and thereby contribute to its reproduction.

The summer school will seek to clarify the meanings and theoretical roles of ideology, as the concept has been prominently developed from the writings of Marx via Critical Theory in the tradition of the Frankfurt School to more recent debates in feminism and analytic philosophy.

Key contemporary protagonists of ideology critique like Sally Haslanger, Robert Gooding-Williams, Axel Honneth, Alice Crary, Karen Ng, Titus Stahl, Robin Celikates, Martin Saar and Rahel Jaeggi will be present at the summer school and facilitate debates both of key texts from canonical authors and of their own systematic positions.

We will discuss questions such as: What is ideology and in which sense are ideologies false or deficient? How do ideologies come into existence and how do they function? On which basis and from which standpoint can ideologies be criticized? What is the continuing relevance of the notion of ideology for a critical understanding of our social and political reality and especially of phenomena such as racism, sexism, neoliberalism and right-wing populism? How does ideology critique compare to other modes of immanent criticism, such as genealogy, performative critique and rational reconstruction? And how can the significant methodological, theoretical and normative challenges to traditional understandings of ideology be addressed?

The summer school will involve plenary lectures and discussions, reading sessions, smaller group discussions and panel debates in order to stimulate debates across paradigms.

To apply for participation, graduate students and junior scholars are invited to submit a precis of their take on core concerns of ideology critique and a CV (each document 1 page). The precis should show which particular background knowledge and systematic positions the applicants would bring to our joint discussions.

Deadline for applications: March 15th 2018, by email to: CTsummerschool@hu-berlin.de

There is no fee for the Summer School, but participants have to fund their own travel, accommodation and catering.

There will be some funds available for which international students without access to institutional reimbursement can apply in order to subsidize their travel costs.

Instructors: Robin Celikates (University of Amsterdam), Alice Crary (Oxford/New School), Robert Gooding-Williams (Columbia), Sally Haslanger (MIT), Axel Honneth (Columbia/IfS), Rahel Jaeggi (HU Berlin), Karen Ng (Vanderbilt), Martin Saar (Goethe University Frankfurt), Titus Stahl (Groningen).

Organizers: Rahel Jaeggi, Eva von Redecker, Isette Schuhmacher (Humboldt University Berlin), Robin Celikates (University of Amsterdam), Martin Saar (Goethe University, Frankfurt) in cooperation with the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research and the New School for Social Research.

Description

In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in issues at the intersection of political philosophy and public policy. In particular, attention has increasingly turned to the question of what kind of institutions and policies would be needed in order to create a significantly more just society.

Following past summer-schools on topics such as justice between generations (2010), democratic virtues (2011), radical democracy (2012), basic income (2013), predistribution and property-owning democracy (2014), the ethics of banking (2015), the commons (2016),the philosophy of work (2017), the 9th Summer School will be dedicated to property and capital in property-owning democracy and socialism.

Originally prompted by John Rawls’ A Theory of Justice (1971, 1999), and later on in Justice as Fairness. A Restatement (2001) the concept of property-owning democracy has gained interest in the last decade as an an alternative to welfare-state capitalism.

According to Rawls, the aim of property-owing democracy is “to disperse the ownership of wealth and capital, and thus to prevent a small part of society from controlling the economy, and indirectly, political life as well. By contrast, welfare-state capitalism per¬mits a small class to have a near monopoly of the means of production” (2001: 139). The  widespread ownership of productive assets, as well as of human capital, is thus not about assisting the most disadvantaged by means of welfare policies and redistribution, but instead to enable citizens to realize their life-plans in a condition of relative economic equality and reciprocity. The idea of a property-owning democracy bears important similarities with other attempts among liberal democratic socialists and left-libertarians to contain the perverse effects of market concentration of wealth and  ensure a pre-distributive entitlement to citizens irrespective of their working status. At the same time, property-owning democracy has been criticized for assuming that the capitalist system can be effectively reformed to ensure social justice. These topics are of growing interest within academia, where they features prominently in recent debates in philosophy, history, law, political science, and economics. In this summer school we will discuss insights emerging from philosophical reflection on the nature of these topics and think about the normative principles guiding the organization of a property-owning democracy and its socialist alternative, as well as its possible public policies, such as the allocation of capital grants.

Format

The course features two keynote speakers, who will each deliver two lectures, and several invited speakers. In addition, we invite the participation of PhD students, postdoctoral scholars and established researchers to present their ongoing work on the topics of this year’s school. This year we will also host a symposium on Professor William Edmundson’s book, John Rawls: Reticent Socialist, Cambridge University Press, 2017.
