‘Eating the Other: deconstructing the ‘ethics’ of cannibalism’
ABSTRACT:
This paper uses the work of Jacques Derrida, with some reference to Heidegger and to Foucault, to 'read' the consensual
cannibalism of Armin Miewes and Bernd Brandes that took place in Germany in 2001. The paper creates a dialogue between Derrida's
notion of symbolic cannibalism and this case of consensual cannibalism, in order to offer critical insights into the humanist
ethical responses and discourses that surround and contribute to a dominant thinking on this case. The consensual cannibalism of
Miewes and Brandes serves as a limit case for Derrida's deconstruction of Law and Justice, providing a dialogue on the ways in
which ethical decisions are not only made on a day to day basis, but how they are constructed, embodied and 'voiced', more
generally, in Western society.
BIOGRAPHY:
Nicole Anderson teaches and researches in the Department of Critical & Cultural Studies at Macquarie University, Sydney,
Australia. She is one of the two founding and chief editors of the international journal Derrida Today (Edinburgh University
Press). She has co-edited the recently published book Cultural Theory in Everyday Practice (Oxford University Press, 2008). She is
sole author of a forthcoming book, Derrida and an Ethics of Practice. Her publications in various journals from Film Quarterly,
Scan: Journal of Media: Arts: Culture, to Social Semiotics, focus around issues of Bodies and Technologies, Visual Culture
(including film theory), Deconstruction and Derrida Studies, Ethics and Biopolitics.

Three seminars have been organised for the first half of 2009.
13th January 2009
Bart Streumer (Philosophy, University of Reading) will give a talk titled=
'Are normative judgements non-cognitive attitudes?'
Summary
Many philosophers claim, or used to claim, that normative judgements are =
non-cognitive attitudes. Some of these philosophers now claim that normat=
ive judgements are beliefs of which we can give a minimalist account, and=
some other philosophers claim that normative judgements are beliefs that=
do not purport to represent the world. In this paper, I argue that these=
philosophers' views all face the same objection, and that this objection=
shows that their views are false. I conclude that normative judgements a=
re beliefs of which we cannot give a minimalist account and that purport =
to represent the world.
Venue: Walton Hall, Central Meeting Room 7
Time: 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm
10th March 2009
Gerald Lang (Philosophy, University of Leeds) will speak on 'The status o=
f means-end reasoning'
Summary
Recent philosophical theorising about practical reason has been much preo=
ccupied with the normative status of means-end reasoning. A flavour of th=
e relevant difficulties may be conveyed by the following dilemma. If, on =
the one hand, we ought to take the means to our ends, whatever those ends=
are, that appears to usher into existence reasons to pursue our ends - b=
y taking means which secure them - even though those ends may be flagrant=
ly immoral, or imprudent. (This is often called the 'bootstrapping' probl=
em.) On the other hand, we often think that there is a distinct form of i=
rrationality at work in those who fail to take the means to their ends, h=
owever valueless their ends may be. In this paper, I will investigate wha=
t type of requirement we have, if any, to take the means to our ends, and=
with whether we can expect a 'one size fits all' solution to this proble=
m.

5th and 6th May 2009
=46rom Plato onwards philosophers and poets have looked suspiciously, som=
etimes enviously, at=20
each other. But Plato himself was a poet, perhaps malgr=E9 lui, and the p=
oets have often taken up=20
and explored philosophical questions. And amongst some recent philosopher=
s =96 Stanley Cavell,=20
Martha Nussbaum and others =96 there have been attempts to recognise that=
literature is more for=20
philosophy than a mere source of good examples for moral or aesthetic ref=
lection. The aim of this=20
conference is to explore some of the fraught relations between philosophy=
and literature, and to=20
ask whether philosophy might itself be a form of literature. Papers are w=
elcomed from both sides=20
of the divide =96 from philosophers, and from literary theorists and writ=
ers of fiction =96 and may deal=20
with meta-philosophical/literary reflections about the nature of the two =
disciplines or with=20
explorations of specific philosophers and/or novelists, poets or playwrig=
hts. Topics might include,=20
but are not restricted to:
the importance of both literature and philosophy in moral reflection and =
experience;
the nature and meaning of different styles of writing and thought;
the pleasures of philosophy and literature;
the nature of argument and reasoning in different kinds of texts;
the differing demands made by literature and philosophy of the reader.
Attendance is free of charge and lunch, tea and coffee will be supplied o=
n both days. There will be,=20
for those who wish, an evening meal on 5th May, for which participants wi=
ll pay themselves. The=20
total number of participants is limited, however, to about 45, and will b=
e on a strictly first come,=20
first served basis, except for those giving papers.=20
If you wish to submit a paper, please supply a 500 word abstract by Monda=
y 2nd February 2009 to=20

Subject: Call for Panels, Seventh Annual ISNS Conference in Krakow, Poland on 18-21 June, 2009
The Seventh Annual ISNS Summer Conference will be held in Krakow, Poland on 18-21 June, 2009 at the Jesuit University of Philosophy and Education "Ignatianum" (http://www.ignatianum.edu.pl/uczelnia/ang.php), which is located in the old city The Ignatianum is co-organizing the conference with ISNS. We will be sending information about the hotel rates and conference costs in a separate email.
We are issuing a call for panels. Anyone who is interested in organizing a panel at the conference should send a brief description of the panel along with its title and the name(s) and email address(es) of the contact person(s) to:
marcin.podbielski@kul.lublin.pl
We will send the call for abstracts for these panels on 21 December. If we receive any calls for panels after that date, we will notify ISNS members of those panels in January. We will also send out the call for abstracts for individual papers (those that do not fit into any of the proposed panels) in January. Papers may be presented in English, French, German, or Italian. It is recommended that those delivering papers in languages other than English provide printed copies to their audience at the conference.
Panel organizers are responsible for collecting the abstracts and choosing those for inclusion in their panels. They should notify us of their decisions by 1 March.
Please note that anyone giving a paper at the conference must be a member of the ISNS. Dues for 2009 are now being accepted on the web site of the Philosophy Documentation Center:
http://www.pdcnet.org/member-isns.html
