秀色短视频 Philosophy Reading Group to meet on September 25
The 秀色短视频 Philosophy Reading Group, facilitated by Dr. Max Schaefer, sessional instructor, Faculty of Arts, will hold its first meeting of the 2024鈥�2025 academic year on Wednesday, September 25, from 7:00鈥�8:00 pm, at the Charlottetown Library Learning Centre, 97 Queen Street.
At this meeting, the group will discuss a reading from Gernot B枚hme鈥檚 The Aesthetics of Atmospheres. A theory of atmospheres first began to take shape in psychiatrist Hubertus Tellenbach鈥檚 study and treatment of certain mental disorders and has been a growing movement in philosophy in recent years. To date, atmospheres have been studied in relation to a variety of fields, including psychopathology, politics, advertising, architecture, and urban studies.
The group meets once a month at the Charlottetown Library Learning Centre and is regularly attended by students and faculty across a range of disciplines. In the past, participants have discussed works from philosophers such as Alain Badiou, Alva No毛, Giorgio Agamben, Julie Reshe, and Byung-Chul Han, among others.
If you are interested in attending this upcoming meeting or any in the future, please contact Dr. Schaefer at mschaefer@upei.ca for more information.
