CFP: “Real Objects or Material Subjects?”
Keynote Speakers: Graham Harman (American University, Cairo) and Adrian Johnston (University of New Mexico)
Dates: March 27 and 28
University of Dundee, Scotland
The aim of this conference is to stage a debate between two dominant strands of contemporary continental thought, as represented by the object-oriented realism of Graham Harman, and by the transcendental materialist theory of subjectivity recently proposed by Adrian Johnston.
Along with the debate between Harman and Johnston, we hope to attract papers from both advanced graduate students and early career researchers on related topics. Suggested topics include:
realism v. materialism, the contemporary relevance of ‘critical realism’, materialist theories of subjectivity, object oriented ontologies, the place of the political in the realism/materialism debate, the persistence of dialectical materialism, recent continental appropriations of eliminative materialism, realism and materialism in contemporary Anglophone philosophy, continental naturalism, the role of the physical sciences in contemporary philosophical materialism, the persistence of religious themes in recent materialist philosophy, the continued importance (or lack thereof) of thinking the ontological in conjunction with the political.
Abstracts of no more than 400 words should be submitted to m.burns@dundee.ac.uk by January 15th, 2010.
Do not hesitate to contact the organizers with any questions.

Women are more interested in fashion, than brand names in their stylish shoes. There actually are more than a few new boots or shoes brands for a lady to select from each and every year. While a man will don the same brand name time and again a woman is more most likely going to try something brand new. The one class where brand names are stronger than ever is in sports footwear. A couple of athletic footwear businesses have established their brands with both men and also women. Brand name shoe corporations will now and again make shoes or boots for several different shoe companies.
