The transfer of models, techniques, methods, concepts, know-hows, and theories is one of the central features of the current scientific knowledge production and it is prominent in interdisciplinary research practices. For example, knowledge transfers occur when psychologists’ toolsets explain economic agents’ behaviors (Herfeld and Lisciandra 2019) or when phenomenological concepts and techniques serve to improve medical practices or evaluate ethical dilemmas (Svenaeus 2021). Other transfers from or towards phenomenology include the eidetic analyses of image consciousness in visual studies (Flusser 1983; Wiesing 2005; Ferencz-Flatz 2016); the transformation of transcendental phenomenology pushed forward by media studies (Waldenfels 2006; Alloa 2011; Majkut 2010); the application of phenomenological techniques for understanding the transformation of social imaginaries (Ricoeur 1986); and the questioning of the limits of phenomenology by social imaginaries, which give way to the generative field (Steinbock 2017). The term “transfer” thus designates the extension of theoretical resources to domains other than the ones in which they were initially formulated.
In this conference series, participants will discuss the transfer of theoretical resources between phenomenology and other theoretically or practically oriented disciplines. The organisers posit the working hypothesis that interdisciplinary collaborations between phenomenology and other disciplines can be best conceptualized in terms of horizontal knowledge transfers. The call is open to contributions encompassing the interdisciplinary transfer of phenomenological concepts, methods, and techniques. However, special attention will be paid to three key concepts in current scientific research: representation, social imaginary, and image. The organisers seek to explore the similarities and variations of these transdisciplinary concepts employed in the following (inter)disciplinary research fields: cognitive science and philosophy of mind; social sciences and political philosophy; and media studies.
