Desire, Praxis and the Common(s)
Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference at Binghamton University
Hosted by the Comparative Literature Department
November 7th & 8th 2008
Praxis and Desire both necessitate a locus: be it historical, cultural, geographic, corporeal, temporal, economic, intellectual. Praxis – concieved as an activity which necessarily entails a mode of creativity with the aim of political and social innovation – has a dynamic relation to desire. Desire conceived alternately as lack, affirmation, plenitude. Praxis implicates desire; desire implicates praxis. The immediate relationality of Desire is differentially mobilized by diverse theoretical camps (psychoanalysis, Marxism, post-structuralism, queer/gender theory). We seek papers concerning the relation between praxis, desire, commons, from such fields as history, sociology, english, comparative literature, philosophy, geography, anthropology, cultural studies, art history, sexuality and gender studies, translation studies, media studies, environmental studies and any other relevant fields.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
History of the commons
Production and desire
Alterity
Alterity and the Commons
Language
Communal Desire
Tension between desire and praxis
Resource and production
Environment and human activity
Practice and poesis
Communal Praxis
Private/Public
General intellect
Intellectual Production
