Some Events at DePaul
For those in Chicago and surrounding areas I thought you may interested in some of the philosophy conferences DePaul University was having.Next weekend, October 1st and 2nd (Friday & Saturday), Gianni Vattimo is the keynote speaker of Re-Interpreting the Continent: Contemporary Italian Philosophy in America. The two talks that interested me the most are Nihilism in Italy and one on Secular and Religious themes in Italian philosophy but there are going to be seven or eight all together.
The weekend after that, October 8th and 9th (Friday & Saturday again), is a conference in memory of Edward W. Said entitled How to Practice Postcolonial Theory in a Secular Way: Conference in Memory of Edward W. Said (Dave the Earnest, you should come and bring the with-child wife!). No more information available at this time.
Then the following week of October 18th through the 22nd is a mini-seminar on Psychoanalysis and Philosophy. Philippe van Haute of the University of Nijmegen, Netherlands is the professor and he has entitled the seminar A Confusion of Tongues: Psychoanalysis and Philosophy. He has made available his book which will serve as the course text (though surely no one is really expected to read it since this isn't for credit) and I can e-mail it to you if you so desire.
For the theologically interested folks Amy Laura Hall of Duke University and author of Treachery of Love, her respected work on Kierkegaard, is giving a talk regarding her recent research entitled "For Domestic Security: Atoms, Genetics, and the Impermeable Family" on Thursday October 21st at 7pm.
