Iris Murdoch: Transatlantic Ties Conference

University of Notre Dame

29 June – 1 July 2023

This conference will mark the first Murdoch-focused major event in the US since 2001, and comes as her reputation as a philosopher and novelist continues to grow rapidly. We invite scholars working on Murdoch and her circle in all disciplines from North America and beyond to join us. The conference will showcase ongoing and published Murdoch scholarship with a particular focus on connections to Murdoch’s work outside the UK.

Dante Alighieri expressed the transcendence of the human condition beyond its limitations through the verb trasumanar in Paradiso 1. It is rare evidence that Alighieri had thought of a kind of "transhuman" change in the early 1300s. In the past years, we witnessed the change raised by the feminist movements, especially the last wave called ''transfeminism'', which pointed out how ''being human'' it is not enough for the subjectivities in order to be recognized by politics. For this reason, the word ''posthuman'' was used to show how monsters can be active participants in our society, being part of us.

This workshop is part of the 54th Annual Congress of the French Association of American Studies which will take place at the University of Bourgogne in Dijon, France, from May 23rd to the 26th, 2023 (https://afea.fr/dijon2023/). The theme of this year's congress is "Voices, Sounds, Noises, Silences." This particular workshop is organized by a trio of researchers (Florence Cabaret, Sylvaine Bataille and Jessica Thrasher) from the University of Rouen - Normandy.
