From samuel.mcauliffe at monash.edu Mon Mar 7 17:44:50 2022 From: samuel.mcauliffe at monash.edu (Samuel McAuliffe) Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2022 17:44:50 +1100 Subject: [SydPhil] Final Reminder: Gadamer, Music, and Philosophical Hermeneutics - Call for Chapters Message-ID: <0B42E8BA-B4FE-4C42-A9B6-FD7D3C8EFC11@monash.edu> Dear Colleagues and scholars working on hermeneutics and/or music, A friendly reminder about the following call for chapters: I am currently seeking chapter proposals for a volume with the working title Gadamer, Music, and Philosophical Hermeneutics for submission to Springer as part of the Contributions to Hermeneutics series edited by Jeff Malpas and Claude Romano. I am in contact with the editors and they have expressed interest in publishing the volume, subject to positive review, of course. A brief, preliminary project overview is as follows: Philosophical hermeneutics is one of the most far-reaching philosophical disciplines of contemporary European thought, and yet, aside from a handful of a texts (Benson, 2003, 2006, 2019; Kramer, 2010; McAuliffe (forthcoming); Nielsen, 2015, 2016; Savage, 2009) it has received little attention from scholars concerned with music. The goal of this volume is to demonstrate how, principal founder of philosophical hermeneutics, Hans-Georg Gadamer?s thought can address and provide insight into contemporary issues and challenges in music. Further, given the way in which Gadamer himself develops his hermeneutics from a consideration of aesthetics, and the way in which recent commentary has noted the dialogical relationship between music and hermeneutics, this volume is also interested in uncovering ways in which a consideration of music can provide insight into the hermeneutical. While all proposals pitching an original Gadamerian perspective on music are welcome, priority will be given to proposals that take up ideas from both music and Gadamer?s philosophy to address fundamental ontological questions of relevance to contemporary issues facing both music and philosophical scholarship. Status of proposal: I am in discussion with the editors of the Contributions to Hermeneutics series, and I will send the book proposal to them for review after reviewing proposals and shaping the structure of the book. Email your proposal to sam.mcauliffe at monash.edu by 13 March 2022. Proposals should be approximately 1 page, including chapter title, abstract (1-2 paragraphs), proposed word count (typically 5,000-8,000 words), and short bio. Full draft chapters due: late September 2022, actual date & timeline TBC. *Please feel free to distribute this among your interested colleagues and networks - I am seeking chapters by philosophers, musicians, music educators, musicologists, and other researchers who draw on Gadamer?s thought.

He will document his experience holding the Abdulhadi H. Taher Chair in Comparative Religions - the Muslim world's largest humanities endowed chair - at the American University in Cairo (AUC). I will also chronicle his time directing the Comparative Religions program and teaching the history of the European Reformations in a country that denies its citizens the right to compare religions. This tenure included his extra-judicial detainment at the hands of armed religious extremists. This presentation will discuss the dangers of university administrations becoming captured by wealthy individuals at the expense of individual academic freedoms. He will discuss the need for US-taxpayer funded institutions abroad to be held accountable when it comes to the First Amendment, especially when they lobby for additional US federal grants on the grounds that they are "American" institutions. At stake here is the freedom of respectful dissent to propaganda and established orthodoxies - in short, the future of unrestricted search for the truth in "western" academic institutions located outside the bounds of those protections that define liberal democracies. Finally, Dr Duker will explore the question that animated his work in Egypt: does Islam need a Reformation? He will argue that the frequently restated thesis is false and misguided. Instead of calling for an Islamic Reformation today, we would do better to realize that the Muslim world is currently engaged in a process of Reformation. He will argue that the question isn't "does Islam need a Reformation." Rather, we should be asking: "what model of Reformation are we currently witnessing," and "which models remain open for MENA countries and Islamic sects to roughly approximate in the future?" All are welcome to attend.

All are welcome to join, though it is aimed at a general audience. The event is hosted by the University of Birmingham, and the Institute for Ethics and Society at the University of Notre Dame, Australia. Please note the 9AM start time listed on the link below - where you can register for free - is for Birmingham; the event will be on at 8PM Sydney time. https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/8lmBCROND2uvM9zm9u9yNpM?domain=birmingham.ac.uk Any further questions please don't hesitate to contact either myself or Laura Best Adam Winning at what cost? The role of character in sports To celebrate the Commonwealth Games Queens Baton Relay passing through Australia, hear from a range of experts as they discuss and explore ethical and moral questions associated with sport. This event is co-hosted by the University of Birmingham and the Institute for Ethics and Society at the University of Notre Dame Australia. Sport ? watching it, participating in it, discussing it ? is an incredibly popular pastime. It is also very valuable ? not just physically and mentally, but also socially and in economic terms. Elite athletes earn big bucks and gain international profiles. Our sports heroes are adored and often labelled as role models. This is a lot of pressure to place on individuals who are good at a particular game or succeed in certain competitions. This virtual panel discussion seeks to interrogate the role of sports and athletes in ethical and moral terms ? asking whether character matters when it comes to sport. Is it right that sports people be held to a high moral standard? That we expect them to exhibit virtuous behaviour? And what should we do when they fall short of our ethical expectations? Moderator: Dr Laura D?Olimpio Dr Laura D?Olimpio is Associate Professor of Philosophy of Education at the University of Birmingham, UK and co-founder and co-editor of the Journal of Philosophy in Schools. Her first book, Media and Moral Education: a philosophy of critical engagement (Routledge, 2018) won the 2018 Philosophy of Education Society of Australasia?s annual book prize. Her second book, The Necessity of Aesthetic Education is forthcoming with Bloomsbury and she is currently co-editing Educating Character Through the Arts, forthcoming with Routledge. Laura regularly contributes to The Conversation, and Radio National?s Philosopher?s Zone and The Minefield. Follow her on Twitter @Lauradol4 Panellists: Prof Andrew Peterson, School of Education, University of Birmingham Andrew Peterson is Professor of Character and Citizenship Education and Deputy Director of the Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues. His research focuses on the relationship between character and citizenship education, particularly the nature of civic virtues. He has published widely in these areas, and is also interested in the role of sport participation and sport coaching in enabling young people to develop and express various aspects of their character ? including moral and civic dimensions Dr Adam Piovarchy, University of Notre Dame Australia Adam Piovarchy is a Research Associate at the Institute for Ethics and Society at the University of Notre Dame, Australia. His research focuses on moral responsibility, the ethics of blame, and how our environment affects our moral decision-making. He completed his PhD in Philosophy at The University of Sydney in 2020, and also holds a Masters of Bioethics from Monash University.

Her work draws upon poststructuralist and postmodern theory and sensibilities to take a contemporary and critical perspective in (re)conceptualising high-performance coach-athlete relationship(s). Alex positions herself as a critical sports coaching sociologist, also interested in community sports coaching and the ethics of qualitative research. ?
