Henry Pickford (Duke) has forwarded the following call for papers, which I am happy to post here:
Conference: Adorno & Poetry
Organizers: Lukas Hoffman, Carolina-Duke Program in German Studies; George Kovalenko, University of Denver
We invite submissions for a proposed panel on Adorno and Poetry at the 2023 German Studies Association conference, to be held in Montreal, October 5-8. In the wake of many contemporary theorists (such as Jacques Rancière, Alan Badiou, Giorgio Agamben, or Judith Butler) pointing to poetic form as a place of political praxis—of community formation—this panel seeks to explore the lyric theory of Theodor W. Adorno, whose 1951 “On Lyric Poetry and Society” sparked an international conversation about the potential political character of poetic production.
Paper topics may include Adorno’s own theory of the lyric, Adornian inflections or interventions in a range of lyric projects, critiques or explications of Adorno’s poetics, Adorno’s posthumous Aesthetic Theory and the lyric, transnational and transhistorical complications to the Adornian lyric, Adorno and the contemporary lyric, and poetry after Auschwitz. Interested parties should send an abstract in English or German of no more than 500 words along with a brief bio to george.kovalenko@du.edu by February 15th. Submissions in German are especially welcome.

Jonathon Catlin asked us to share the following call for papers:
CfP: Adorno and Identity – Virtual Workshop and Special Issue of Adorno Studies
A virtual workshop on “Adorno and Identity,” with papers intended for publication in a special issue of the journal Adorno Studies, is now accepting abstracts from potential contributors.
Negative dialectics, Theodor Adorno wrote, “is suspicious of all identity.” Nevertheless, identity is one of the central concepts linking together Adorno’s wide-ranging corpus. This issue pursues a timely and interdisciplinary revisitation of the notions of identity, the nonidentical, and negative identity in Adorno, prompted by several recent studies: Eric Oberle’s Theodor Adorno and the Century of Negative Identity, Fumi Okiji’s Jazz As Critique: Adorno and Black Expression Revisited, and Oshrat Silberbusch’s Adorno’s Philosophy of the Nonidentical: Thinking as Resistance. These works serve as a common point of departure for revisiting Adorno’s thought at a moment in which identity has become a central and hotly debated concept. The goal of this issue is twofold: to use Adorno’s work to develop more conceptually robust and nuanced notions of identity and nonidentity, and to advance critical theory by connecting Adorno’s work to broader conversations about identity.

Thomas Ebke (Pötsdam) has written to us asking us to post the following call for papers (which is in German) for a conference in February of 2016 at the University of Pötsdam on the relationship between philosophical anthropology and the Frankfurt School. This is what Dr. Ebke writes:
As you may know, the dialogue between these two schools of thought was characterized, during the lives of the major protagonists, by mutual skepticism and a series of demarcations. This is all the more astonishing not only because Horkheimer and Adorno, for instance, had good professional relations with Helmuth Plessner who used to be implicated in sociological research projects monitored by the Insitut für Sozialforschung in the 1950s, but also because the problem of anthropological thought and a philosophy of human nature seems on closer inspection to be rather equivocal, especially in the case of Adorno.

Robert Kaufman (University of California, Berkeley) has written us informing us of the following CFP:
*CALL FOR PAPERS: “Relations/Legacies: Brecht, Benjamin, Adorno”
(collaborative session of the International Brecht Society and MLA Division on Philosophical Approaches to Literature at the convention of the Modern Language Association, 7-10 January 2016 in Austin, TX)
The artistic, critical, and philosophical relations among Brecht, Benjamin, and Adorno before and during the exile years were tense, but often extraordinarily generative, perhaps even more so after the war. Continue reading
