The conference will focus on this recent 'ethical turn'and will discuss what space justice and ethics occupy in contemporary media, in the arts, in politics and in the present academic discourse after postmodernist and poststructuralist theory.
Keynote address: Axel Honneth, Frankfurt (to be confirmed), Robert Schindel, Vienna (Writer), Klaus Holz, Dortmund(European Network for the Study of Historical and Contemporary Anti-Semitism)
The deadline for paper proposals (max. 200 words) is September 9, 2007.
