The Relevance of Jean-Paul Sartre today

日本和英国的萨特学会将于2009年举行年度会议。两个学会都批准在每次活动中增加一个特别研讨会，来自加拿大、法国、日本和英国的萨特专家将在会上讨论让-保罗·萨特与当代辩论的相关性。第一个研讨会，附属于日本会议，将题为：“萨特与当代意识形态”；第二个研讨会，附属于英国会议：“萨特与当代政治”。虽然每个协会每年都举行会议，但到目前为止，不同的国家协会之间几乎没有合作，特别是与日本的合作。参与这项申请的两名日语人士都没有参加过英国安全局。该项目还为来自英国和日本的早期职业研究人员和研究生提供了参加这些活动并从国际接触中受益的独特机会。如果没有这个项目，这些参与者就没有机会在不同的社团之间进行对话。研讨会论文随后将发表在加拿大、法国、日本和联合王国的国际期刊上，特别是《萨特研究国际》、《法新社》、《法国哲学评论》、《文学》和《现代新闻》。我们希望在这两个讲习班的基础上开展可持续的对话，使与会者和学会之间能够开展进一步的研究合作。

The Sartre Societies of Japan and the United Kingdom will hold their annual conferences in 2009. Both societies have given their approval for a special workshop to be added to each event, where Sartre specialists from Canada, France, Japan, and the United Kingdom will discuss the relevance of Jean-Paul Sartre to contemporary debates. The first workshop, attached to the Japanese conference, will be entitled: 'Sartre and Contemporary Ideology'; the second workshop, attached to the UK conference: 'Sartre and Contemporary Politics'. Whilst each society holds its conference annually, to date there has been little collaboration between the different national societies, and especially with Japan. Neither Japanese speaker involved in this application has ever attended the UKSS. This project also provides a unique opportunity for early career researchers and postgraduate students, from both the UK and Japan, to attend these events and to benefit from international exposure. These participants would not have the opportunity to dialogue across the Societies were it not for this project. The workshop papers will subsequently be published in international journals in Canada, France, Japan and The United Kingdom, notably in Sartre Studies International, PhaenEx, Revue de Philosophie française, Littérature, and Les Temps Modernes. We hope that a sustainable dialogue will develop from these two workshops, enabling further research collaboration between the participants and the societies.
