The Relevance of Jean-Paul Sartre today

日本和英国的萨特学会将于2009年举行年会。两个学会都同意在每个活动中增加一个特别的研讨会，来自加拿大、法国、日本和英国的萨特专家将讨论让-保罗·萨特与当代辩论的相关性。第一个研讨会将附属于日本会议，题目是“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”。虽然每个学会每年都举行一次会议，但迄今为止，不同国家的学会之间几乎没有合作，尤其是与日本的合作。本申请中涉及的日语人士均未参加过UKSS。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一个独特的机会，参加这些活动，并从国际曝光中受益。如果没有这个项目，这些参与者就不会有机会在各社团之间进行对话。讲习班的论文随后将在加拿大、法国、日本和联合王国的国际刊物上发表，特别是在《国际萨特研究》、《菲尼克斯》、《法国哲学评论》、《现代时代》和《现代主义》上发表。我们希望这两个研讨会能够发展出一种可持续的对话，使参与者和社会之间能够进一步开展研究合作。

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.
