<p>Although the call for papers deadline for PSi 19 passed, there are still two weeks before the deadline for the performance philosophy conference.</p>
<p>With 23 members currently joined up to this group, I find myself wondering why that is. What is it that makes Bergson relevant now?</p>

<p>Henri Bergson was a philosopher who was both was versed in history and in touch with the latest research of his time. So while he made use of the most recent advancements in not only philosophy but also psychology, physics and biology, etc., he also repeatedly returned to classical ideas such as Zeno's paradoxes. The philosopher he most often critiqued was Immanuel Kant, separated from Bergson by a span of years similar to those that distance us from Bergson. Since his death much philosophy has been written and continues to be written by researchers arguably more in touch with a world like our own. </p>
<p>With all that in mind questions come up, asked not in incredulity but out of curiosity, which is what made you join this group? How is your work influenced by Bergson? What areas of his broad research still matter today?</p>
<p>I'm sending this out intending for informal responses to the group in a discussion here.</p>
<p>I also hope though that it might drum up interest enough to get some kind of proposal together for the performance philosophy conference, whether that is a panel, a performance, round table or anything else we might find is a useful way to engage with Bergson's work.</p>
<p>So if you have a chance over the next few days it would be great to hear from everyone is as much detail as you'd like about how you're engaged with his philosophy.</p> PSi 19 Stanfordtag:performancephilosophy.ning.com,2012-11-07:6528949:Topic:51512012-11-07T20:43:07.860ZWill Daddariohttp://performancephilosophy.ning.com/profile/WillDaddario
<p>Hello Bergsonists</p>
<p>As the cfp quickly approaches for PSi 19 on temporality and performance, its still not too late to put together a performance philosophy contribution.</p>
<p>If there is interest, we might propose a panel of papers on Bergson in a similar way to how the successful panels on Adorno worked at PSi last year.

<p>Hello Bergsonists</p>
<p>As the cfp quickly approaches for PSi 19 on temporality and performance, its still not too late to put together a performance philosophy contribution.</p>
<p>If there is interest, we might propose a panel of papers on Bergson in a similar way to how the successful panels on Adorno worked at PSi last year. As Adorno was the logical option for a conference themed on culture and industry a conference on temporality asks for a similar figure and Bergson is a natural choice. I would be happy to facilitate selecting certain passages Bergson (as was done for Adorno) to give panelists specifics to respond to. </p>
<p>If there are other ideas you have concerning contributions to the conference can you please post them here, ie shifts, dialogues, etc.?</p>
<p>Hope to hear from many of you</p>
