Myth and Modernity, after Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe
4-5 May 2017, Trinity Long Room Hub, Trinity College Dublin
Keynote speaker: Jean-Luc Nancy*
Conference languages: French and English
Although Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe (1940-2007) is now widely acknowledged to be among the most significant thinkers of his time, the broader implications of his work are only beginning to become manifest. Ten years after his death, this conference proposes to reassess his ground-breaking contribution to Western thought and aesthetics, taking it as a starting point to explore the relationship between myth and modernity.
