This edition will focus on the work of Judith Butler (Maxine Elliott Professor, UC Berkeley), who will be our keynote speaker.The objective of this conference is twofold. First, it aims to reflect upon the principles and modalities of Judith Butler’s arguments about sensitivity. Second, it aims to discern the potential consequences and applications of this notion of the subject’s sentivitiy to a range of political questions such as: Political representation and collective action Resistance, pacifism and critiques of power Technique, transhumanism and anthropocentrism War, violence and precarization of life Gender and vulnerabilityAll contributions that are related to one these topics are encouraged, but we also welcome propositions connected to other fileds of interest.The submission deadline for proposals is March 3rd, 2017. Only graduate students who have not defended their PhD are eligible. All proposals should be sent to sciencespotheorygrad@gmail.com.More information on submission and selection modalities in attached file: AAC 5th Graduate Conference Sciences Po 2017 (FR) (french) or CFP 5th Graduate Conference Sciences Po 2017 (EN)For further information on other activities and events organized by the Political Theory Program at Sciences Po, please visit this Facebook page.
