| German Studies Seminar |
CFP for the 2024-2025 German Studies Seminar This seminar, which convened for the first time in AY 2020-2021, provides a forum for scholarship-in-progress in the area of German Studies, broadly defined. We welcome work on modern and pre-modern topics from all disciplinary perspectives, including but not limited to Literature, History, Art History, Philosophy, Music, and the Social Sciences. The seminar is particularly interested in papers that cross disciplinary bounda-ries, and that reconceptualize the materials and conventions of German Studies as a field, including beyond the frames of the German language and nation state. Preference will be given to applicants who are post-PhD. Seminars for AY 2024-2025 will be a mix of in-person events at the Newberry and virtual events on Zoom, at the discretion of the presenter. The Newberry is unable to provide funds for travel and lodging for presenters and respondents, but can assist in locating discounted accommodations. If you have questions, please contact the seminar organizers: Alice Goff (University of Chicago), Imke Meyer (University of Illinois Chicago), Sophie Salvo (University of Chicago), Anna Souchuk (DePaul University), Lauren Stokes (Northwestern University), or e-mail scholarlyseminars@newberry.org |

| Hegel’s Relevance Today |
CFP for 27th Biennial Meeting of The Hegel Society of America When: October 11-13, 2024 Where: Boston, MA In recent years, philosophers from diverse traditions have drawn on Hegel to develop novel approaches to philosophical and other types of concerns. For our 2024 Biennial Meeting, the Hegel Society of America invites papers that similarly seek to bring Hegel’s philosophy to bear on contemporary problems. For example, we welcome papers that bring Hegel into dialogue with contemporary thinkers, that use Hegel to introduce a new conceptual approach to illuminate or solve a current problem, or that employ Hegel’s thought to reveal new dimensions and complexities of a contemporary debate. We are open to many different applications of Hegel ‘s work in multiple disciplines, including (but not limited to) philosophy, theology, history, legal and political theory, sociology, environmental studies, gender studies, and literary studies. Submissions are limited to 6,000 words (excluding notes), and any later adjustments must remain within this limit. They must be complete essays; draft proposals will not be accepted. Submissions must be in English, in Word or PDF format, prepared for blind review, and accompanied by an abstract of no more than 300 words. Note: Although papers presented at meetings of the Hegel Society of America are usually published as a collection, publication cannot be guaranteed. By submitting a paper, however, the author agrees to reserve publication for an HSA proceedings volume if the paper is accepted for the program, and if the program is accepted for publication Please note that an online version of this “Call for Papers” can be found at: |
Please send papers to: Jeffrey Church, Program Chair jchurch [@] uh.edu Deadline: January 17, 2024 |

| Lukács and the Critical Legacy of Classical German Philosophy |
Lukács explicitly articulates History and Class Consciousness, whose ‘over-Hegelianization’ of Marxism he will criticize in his later work himself, as an interpretation of Marxism in the light of post-Kantian German Idealism – mostly of Hegel but also of Schiller, Fichte, or Schelling as well as of post-idealist philosophers rooted in the idealist tradition such as Lask. Whilst the concept of reification often has been discussed in its constellation with Marxist critique of capitalism and with German sociology, particularly in Weber and Simmel, despite the label of ‘Hegel-Marxism,’ the references to Classical German Philosophy still mark an important desideratum in terms both of historical and systematic examinations. Concepts not only such as “reification” but also “totality,” “method,” “dialectics,” “nature,” “(class) consciousness,” “history,” “revolution,” or “subject-object” Lukács extensively applies in his early work, however, cannot be separated from their origin in central systematic problematics of German Idealism. At the very same time, when it comes to contemporary discussions of the reception of Classical German Philosophy, Lukács remains a rather marginal figure despite his important role within post-idealist confrontations with the theoretical and practical impact of idealism and its possible actuality. In a line with this dominant setting, it hardly has been analyzed in detail that Lukács’ interpretation of the entire sequence of post-Kantian idealism starting from the problematic of the “thing-in-itself” (Ding-an-sich) in Kant is a very original and productive one – and it hereby is neglected that, following a semantic hint, “reification” (Verdinglichung) may stand in an internal relation to this very problematic instead of being just a sociological term or the descriptive name of a social pathology. On the occasion of the centennial of the publication, the present call for papers invites original submissions that aim at filling this gap by examining and discussing History and Class Consciousness’ dialogue with Classical German Philosophy and its aftermath. The contributions may focus on this interconnection by dwelling on central concepts in Lukács and any author(s) of Classical German Philosophy and its tradition systematically, or by (re-)discovering relevant historical lines of reception. Of particular interest hereby is the potential this configuration has in terms of a critical thinking of – and within – our own present and its ongoing multiple crises and struggles.
