Vortrag: Yannis Ktena „Society as a World of Meaning (‘Sinnwelt’). Max Weber and Cornelius Castoriadis“

Einladung zum Vortrag

„Society as a World of Meaning (‘Sinnwelt’). Max Weber and Cornelius Castoriadis“

von Yannis Ktena (IWM Wien / National Kapodistrian University of Athens) am Mittwoch, den

Mittwoch 7. Juni 2023, 18h, N 1.71

(Vortrag auf Englisch, Diskussion auf Englisch und Deutsch)

Abstract

At first, it might seem difficult to imagine two thinkers more incompatible than Max Weber and Cornelius Castoriadis. What could the endorsement of parliamentarianism, the highlighting of bureaucracy’s cruciality and the concern for Germany’s place within the global power constellation have possibly to do with the support of direct democracy, autonomy and autogestion?

Nevertheless, not only did Castoriadis start his career as a young scholar by translating and annotating the first paragraphs of Weber’s Economy and Society, but he also kept referring to Weber’s writings as a source of inspiration throughout his life. In fact, in the last essay Castoriadis ever wrote, La “rationalité” du capitalisme, he explicitly mentions Weber at least three times.

How are we supposed to conceptualize this seemingly bizarre affinity? I propose that, instead of simply tracing and commenting on the various fields in which Castoriadis draws on Weber (e.g. the critique of bureaucracy or the problem of legitimization), we should examine their intellectual relationship under the light of a common fundamental idea they share: meaning (‘Sinn’) is a constitutive element of the social world.

This idea –implicitly omnipresent in Weber’s texts, explicitly elaborated in Castoriadis’ ontology– can serve as a guiding thread not only in our effort to thematize Castoriadis’ relationship with Weber, but also to provide a fresh interpretation of the works of both of them; finally, to think philosophically what meaning, as an always present and always elusive element, is.

Einladung zum Vortrag

„Obstetric Violence – A Perspective from Feminist Philosophy“

von Sara Cohen Shabot (Universität Haifa) am Mittwoch, den 10. Mai 2023, um 18.00 Uhr, im N.1.71

 

Abstract

Obstetric violence – violence against women giving birth in medicalized settings – has been widely recognized as a phenomenon affecting numerous women globally and systematically, and as one that is in urgend need to be tackled and solved. Obstetric violence is not mere medical violence but constitutes structural gender violence. In her research, Sara Cohen Shabot has dealt with different aspects of the phenomenon from the perspective of feminist philosophy, maily feminist phenomenology and epistemology. In this talk, she will discuss some of her insights on the subject and her current research. 

Zur Person

Sara Cohen Shabot is Associate Professor at the Women’s and Gender Studies Program, the University of Haifa. She specializes in phenomenology, feminist philosophy, and philosophies of the body. Her present research and publications adress feminist philosophical perspectives on childbirth and the maternal embodied subject. Lately, her research has focused on the phenomenon of obstetric violence as gender violence – and she has published several papers looking at this subject from diffferent philosophical perspectives in journals such as Human Studies, Feminist Theory, The European Journal of Women’s Studies and Hypatia.
