SUMMARY:Escuela Eslovena: Filosofía\, política e ideología | Conferencia de Gregor Moder & Ales Mendizevec en el IIGG
DESCRIPTION:El Grupo de Estudios en Ideología\, Discurso e Imaginación (IDI-IIGG)\, en conjunto con el Grupo de Estudios en Subjetivación y Orden Político (GEOP) y el Proyecto Ubacyt “Transformaciones de la ideología en el neoliberalismo contemporáneo. Derivas ético-políticas y crítica del presente en la Escuela de Frankfurt y el Posestructuralismo”\, invitan a la conversación abierta con los investigadores Gregor Moder y Aleš Mendiževec\, que se realizará el próximo miércoles 20 de mayo a las 17.00hs en el Anexo (Aula 400) del Instituto de Investigaciones Gino Germani. M.T. de Alvear\, 2230\, 4to piso. Facultad de Ciencias Sociales\, UBA. \nBrother and Sister: Why Engage with Antigone Today? – Gregor Moder\nIn her final monologue\, Sophocles’s Antigone delivers a surprising justification of the law that guided her to defy Creon’s decree and bury her brother Polyneices. She claims that she risked her life only for her brother’s body\, and that she would leave a husband’s or a child’s body to molder unburied. These words have always puzzled interpreters. In this talk\, we shall claim that Hegel’s chapter on ethical life (Sittlichkeit) in the Phenomenology of Spirit can be read precisely as an attempt to give a metaphysical and ethical account of Antigone’s last words\, which is why the relationship between brother and sister becomes the pivotal relationship not only of Hegel’s understanding of the family\, but also of the polity and the substance of ethical life itself. This is a major difference that sets the understanding of Antigone in Phenomenology apart from the ones in Philosophy of Right and Aesthetics. Furthermore\, we shall argue that the way in which Antigone formulates her demand to bury her brother becomes the paradigmatic example of how a historical transformation of the world is possible. \nGregor Moder is Senior Research Associate in the Department of Philosophy at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ljubljana. He co-founded Aufhebung – International Hegelian Association and served as its first president (2014-2020). His works include the edited volumes The Object of Comedy (Palgrave 2020)\, The Ethics of Ernst Lubitsch (Rowman & Littlefield 2024)\, and The Resilience of History (Maska 2024)\, as well as the monographs Hegel and Spinoza (Northwestern University Press 2017) and Antigone as Political Philosophy (Northwestern University Press 2026). \nOn Louis Althusser\, or What Is To Be Done with Contingency? – Aleš Mendiževec\nThe concept of contingency plays a crucial role in the philosophy of Louis Althusser; we would dare say that it had done so from the very beginning. Yet this is by no means peculiar to Althusser. The idea of contingency has a long history\, even among theoreticians who attempted to affirm it and ascribe to it a veritable ontological status. In fact\, it seems that today even neoliberal capitalist ideology places its bets on contingency (“be flexible\,” “seize the opportunity\,” etc.); and if Althusser’s philosophy is anything\, it is a critique of capitalist ideology\, especially when ideology manages to break through into its adversary: Marxism and communism. It therefore seems essential to differentiate the concept of contingency\, to trace its role within Althusser’s general philosophical project of defining history (as a process without a subject)\, and\, finally\, to delineate its political stakes. \nAleš Mendiževec is a Research Assistant at the Institute of Philosophy\, ZRC SAZU. His research focuses on ontology\, political philosophy\, and technology. In particular\, his work centers on the concept of contingency\, its implications for political theory\, and its role and significance in the sciences and technology. He is the author of the monograph Contingency and I: Philosophy for Louis Althusser (in Slovene\, Maska\, 2022).
