A conference by Benedetta Zaccarello, new researcher at CEFRES
Language: English
Venue: CEFRES library, Na Florenci 3
Though a philosopher is commonly seen as a thinker, philosophy is with no doubt a matter of writing – if not of literature – as well. No concepts without words, no ideas without a process of self-clarification in vocabulary, codes and style, no theory without an implicit dialogue with a tradition, or a polemic target tout court. These dynamic processes of composition, address and use of the sources, can be revealed through the study of philosophical manuscripts and archives, and understood as examples of living practices of thought as well as tools for exegesis.
Join us on the night of 16-17 June to discuss about “Images, Sciences and Politics” with the guests of the very first Night of Philosophy in Prague and in Central Europe. Between 7 pm and 3 am, at the Faculty of Arts of the Charles University and inside the Fair Trade Palace of the National Gallery in Prague, you can pick and choose between screenings, exhibitions and guided tours, readings, lectures, concerts, debates and encounters—within a dozen of rooms.
Our aim: to create a dialogue between a large public and above 55 leading international philosophers around very contemporary ethical and political questions. Find out the complete program of the Night of Philosophy on the blog: https://philonight.hypotheses.org/

The mythical and geographical origins of the birth of Europe and the concept of continents
First session of the 2023-2024 CEFRES Francophone Interdisciplinary Seminar The map and the border
In 2023, we would like to start by beginning by questionning the very act of bordering and representing (a territory, a period, a trajectory), in short, thanks to the interdisciplinarity of our respective disciplines, to question the map and the border.
Location: CEFRES Library, Na Florenci 3, Prague 1

We are living in a world divided in continents. This fact seems evident for us, but a more careful look on the world’s map can let us doubt of this evidence and leads certain people to talk about the “myth of continents”.
