SUSANNE K. LANGER: Artistic Angles, Philosophical Circles, Poetic Dots, and Technical LinesVienna University of Technology, Austria. 26–29 May 2026. Call opens: 1 September 2025Deadline: 1 October 2025 Organized in collaboration with the Research Unit Architecture Theory and Philosophy of Technics ATTP at the Vienna University of Technology and the IVC Institute Vienna Circle at the University of Vienna, this conference illuminates the history and relevance of Susanne K. Langer's philosophy—demonstrating how her thought continues in contemporary debates in philosophy, aesthetics, the arts, and science, and how it is linked to the city of ideas, Vienna. This conference seeks interdisciplinary perspectives on the thought of logician and philosopher of the arts Susanne K. Langer (1895-1985), which spanned the domains of language, mathematics, the arts, life, and mind through logical analysis and synthesis, embodied cognition and symbolic projection. The symbolistic paradigm central to Langer’s philosophy is gaining increased attention, and the international network of the Susanne K. Langer Circle continues to foster fresh perspectives on her work, while promoting its ongoing relevance and scholarly continuation. Our third, bi-annual conference in 2026 will take place at TU Wien and the University of Vienna, with a local focus on architectural humanities as well as Vienna’s historical relevance for analytic philosophy. We invite scholars from the humanities, the arts, and sciences to contribute papers on topics spanning philosophy, technology, architecture, artistic and speculative research, theoretical or technological approaches.  As a cross-disciplinary conference, we welcome contributions from fields, including but not limited to: AestheticsAnthropology and EthnologyArchaeologyArchitecture BiosemioticsBiotechnology Communication Theory, Symbol Theory, and SemioticsComputer Science Creativity Studies HistoriographyHistory of Ideas (20th century history of philosophy: Cassirer, neo-Kantianism, pragmatism, philosophy of science, The Vienna Circle)Information and ComputingLife Sciences Literary CriticismLogic and the Theory of KnowledgeMedia TheoryMusic(s) and MusicologyPedagogy and Educational ThoughtPerforming Arts and Performance TheoryPhilosophy of Art and Art CriticismPoetry Popular Culture and Cultural StudiesProgramming Psychology (Cultural, Gestalt, Developmental, Clinical, Humanistic)Social and Political TheoryVisual and Sonic ArtsWomen's, Gender and Queer Studies SubmissionsCall opens: 1 September 2025 Please submit abstracts of 300–400 words (Chicago Manual of Style), including full name, contact information, affiliation and academic title (if applicable) to: langer-conference2026@attp.tuwien.ac.at  Deadline1 October 2025 Notification of acceptance: 30 October 2025 The conference will be held at the Vienna University of Technology and the University of Vienna, Austria. 26–29 May 2026. For further information, visit the Langer Circle website: https://langercircle.sites.uu.nl/ For updates on the program, please register as a member: https://langercircle.sites.uu.nl/register/  Selected conference proceedings will be published as an edited journal (TU Academic Press). Conference Committee: Prof. Vera Bühlmann (AT), Dr. Lona Gaikis (AT), Dr. Matthew Ingram (USA), Prof. Randall E.
