We have many expressions for the pain of loss—heartache, a broken heart, a punch in the gut. These aren't just figures of speech; grief is both an emotional and physical experience.

In today’s episode, why grief hurts.

Studies show that grief can change your physiology, particularly in the cardiovascular and immune systems.

The CfP for the #aar2025 June online and November in-person events is available now! Please do submit something to the Theology & Continental philosophy unit; official CfP below but we're always open to proposals on anything within our remit. Deadline is 3rd March.
Call for Proposals The Theology and Continental Philosophy Unit invites individual paper proposals, panel proposals, and roundtables on any of the following topics, or any others within our unit's area of focus. We also encourage proposals to combine aspects of the topics listed below: Phantasmatic beings and political theology: papers on angels, fairies, cyborgs, and related figures and their import for political thinking. Recent work in trans philosophy and study of religion, especially as related to theorization of bodies and contemporary politics. Book panel on Basit Kareem Iqbal’s forthcoming The Dead Heights: Tribulation and Refuge after the Syrian Revolution (Fordham, 2025). Fascism and religion: papers on the relationship between theology and continental philosophy in relation to the global resurgence of fascism and fascist thought. Papers could focus on Christian nationalism and other religiously-based nationalisms, new intellectual fascist figures behind the politicians (Dugin, Vermeule, etc.). The legacy of François Laruelle for philosophy of religion and theology. Statement of Purpose This Unit seeks to further discussions at the intersection of post-Kantian philosophy in its various permutations with historical and contemporary theological reflection. While we remain centered on continental European thought (even and especially beyond the borders of the continent) on the philosophical side, the term “theology” in our parlance extends to critical reflection on a range of religions worldwide, and we are particularly interested to expand our offerings in Judaism, Islam, and marginalized traditions (such as witchcraft) in coming years. Contact the Program Unit Chairs if you seek further information on the Unit’s activities.

Railway Aesthetics: Experiencing Locomotion across Media and Cultures (Vienna-Bucharest-Istanbul, 10-13 September 2025) deadline for submissions: May 2, 2025 We are inviting proposals for a multidisciplinary conference on the aesthetics of the railway. Taking place on two trains from Vienna to Bucharest and from Bucharest to Istanbul, the conference will itself be a mobile experience. Throughout their history, trains have transported not only passengers and freight, but also manifold cultural, political, and ideological narratives. From Charles Dickens’s proto-modernist railway sketches to the post-apocalyptic Korean film Snowpiercer, from James Bond’s train top fights to the space train in the Japanese manga series Galaxy Express 999, the railway has fuelled fantasies about mobility, progress, conquest, and connection. In the nineteenth-century US, for instance, the transcontinental railroad spatialized the ideology of manifest destiny (see White 2011); for interwar Europe, railways signified the utopia of a unified continent; on the Indian subcontinent, trains functioned as the long arm of empire before becoming associated with Indian nationalism (e.g. in Ravi Chopra’s 1980 action film The Burning Train). As literal and metaphorical vehicles, trains have carried multiple, often contradictory meanings. For the American Romantic Henry David Thoreau, they signalled the oppressive structures of society (‘We do not ride on the railroad; it rides upon us’). In African American culture, they have been linked to slavery and segregation but also been envisaged as speculative engines of resistance and social change (see Zabel 2004), as in Colson Whitehead’s 2016 novel The Underground Railroad. Across a range of cultures and periods, railways have represented the hegemonic orders of the modern world while holding out disruptive and transgressive possibilities. The railway journey as a narrative trope in literature and film Sensory geographies of the railway Historical p…

Call for papers: *How women shaped the Nordic Enlightenment*
Deadline: February 20, 2025

University of Copenhagen
Event date: June 18-20, 2025
Travel hotel and meals fully covered for selected participants

#philsky #womeninphilosophy #historyofphilosophy #enlightenment

See details below:
First page of Call for Papers document that says: How Women Shaped the Nordic Enlightenment Intellectual Equality, Women’s Education, and Moral Philosophy (Call for Papers) International Conference at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, June 18-20, 2025 Due to increased scholarly attention to women’s writings and agency, the image of the European Enlightenment as a male-dominated enterprise has slowly begun to fade. It is now established that women writers across Europe participated in intellectual, religious, and political debates, taking up the pen to combat prejudices, voice their concerns on private and public matters, and advocate their own cause. While women’s participation in the Enlightenment is well researched in some parts of Europe, notably in France and England, other regions have been neglected in this wave of research. This holds true for Europe’s North, raising the question of how the Enlightenment unfolded in the Nordic countries seen from the vantage point of women. Papers presented at the conference may but need not refer explicitly or systematically to the above outline, but they should address some of the following research questions: Second page of Call for Papers that says: Nordic Perspectives on Women's Intellectual Equality and Moral Philosophy. What was Nordic women’s thought on intellectual equality, women’s education and topics related to moral philosophy (such as happiness, the virtues, and the good life)? Contextualizing Nordic Women's Participation in the Learned World. What was specific about the historical settings, material conditions and societal structures that shaped women’s participation in the learned world in the Nordic countries? Exploring a Nordic Path to Women's Enlightenment. Was there a Nordic way of women’s Enlightenment? Did unique cultural, intellectual, or societal factors shape a distinct Nordic approach to women's engagement with Enlightenment ideals? We want to evaluate these questions from three different perspectives: § How are these findings related to debates in other parts of Europe? How do these findings affect our understanding of the analytical and historiographical categories (such as enlightenment, progress, and equality), which are used when researching this historical period? § How can these findings inform us about the emergence, development, and shortcomings of modern Scandinavian gender equality? Third and final page of the call for papers that contains the sponsors' logos (WHENCE and ERC/European Union) and says: In this conference, we seek to explore these questions from an interdisciplinary perspective. Our primary aim is to assess women's contributions to relevant Enlightenment debates in the Nordic countries. The conference brings together scholars from different fields to illuminate and deepen our understanding of women's contributions to the Nordic Enlightenment. Please submit an abstract of no more than 500 words, along with a brief curriculum vitae, to irina.hron@hum.ku.dk by February 20, 2025. Participants will be notified of the acceptance of their abstracts by February 28, 2025. The conference is part of the ERC funded project Women in the Nordic Enlightenment (WHENCE). Travel, hotel and meals will be fully covered. Conference speakers will have the opportunity to contribute to a peer-reviewed book publication. Contact: Irina Hron University of Copenhagen Department of Communication Karen Blixens Plads 8 2300 Copenhagen, Denmark irina.hron@hum.ku.dk Date: 18.-20.6.2025 Conference language: English Deadline for abstracts: 20.02.2025 Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
