5th International Conference on the Philosophy of Language, Literature, and Linguistics (ICPL 2025)

This is a hybrid event and in-person event will be held at Shanghai International Studies University, Shanghai, China from May 8 to 10, 2025.

Romantic-era approaches to popular belief, from the philosophical to the sociological, had different ways of framing the “common.” Common beliefs might be framed as ordinary, intuitive, or rooted in common sentiment; or might in contrast suggest vulgar or popular belief, as in the category of “popular superstitions.” This panel will look at Romantic-era constructions of common or popular belief, with topics that might include (but are not limited to): “Common Sense” philosophy and intuitive belief; popular religion; folklore and supernatural beliefs; cultures of popular magic; or other approaches to “traditional” belief.

Deep Time in Irish Literature, Culture, Media, and the Arts

In considering the ecocritical urgency of Irish texts, past and present—including characters such as the geographer-protagonist of Caoilinn Hughes’s 2024 novel The Alternatives—we invite papers that consider deep time and its uses in Irish literature, culture, media, and the arts. Topics across genres and time periods may include the human and nonhuman, periodization and cosmic/ancestral time, Irish legend and folklore in deep time, traditions of prehistory, seeds, agriculture, stones, gems, the bog and bog bodies, fossils, climate change, and the anthropocene.
