About the event
This conference explored key new problems emerging in phenomenology after its critical turn. In particular, papers included adressed the following questions:
-Is phenomenology a critical enterprise? What makes it critical and what is ‘critique’? -Can phenomenology play a role in contributing to social and political change? -What is critical phenomenology? Is it a continuation of classical phenomenology, or is it something that has surpassed it and is now distinct from classical phenomenology? -Can phenomenology critique cultural, ethical, and political norms? If so, how? -Can phenomenology analyze sexual, racial, and gender oppression? If so, how?
