CFP International Rhetoric Workshop 2026 (Argentina)

Conferences

Call for proposals: International Rhetoric Workshop: Rhetorical Flows: Building Transnational Solidarities and Cultures of Resistance, Buenos
Aires, Argentina, 5-7 August 2026. Deadline: 21 March 2026.

The Planning Committee for the 5th Biennial International Rhetoric Workshop invites international PhD students, emerging scholars, and established researchers to come together and consider the myriad ways that our contemporary and established traditions of rhetorical theory, pedagogy, and criticism inform global flows of meaning-making.

In the heart of Buenos Aires, at the Centro Cultural Paco Urondo (Institute of Linguistics, Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, UBA), the workshop will center on the theme, “Rhetorical Flows: Building Transnational Solidarities and Cultures of Resistance,” inviting participants to reflect critically with and from a city that has long been a site of poetic militancy, political mobilization, and intercultural exchange. Named for Francisco “Paco” Urondo — poet, journalist, academic, and activist who fused literary creativity with resistance to authoritarianism — this Center locates us amid a legacy of words as weapons, ideas as action, and networks of solidarity that transcend borders and boundaries. Buenos Aires itself, with its histories of migration, contestation, memory, and re­appropriations of public space, offers a vital ground for exploring how rhetorical practices flow across languages, geographies, traditions, time, peoples, and cultures. We welcome proposals that draw on this spirit: whether tracing the circulation of rhetorical forms, investigating collaborative practices of dissent, or imagining new solidarities that respond to both local and global urgencies.

This year’s theme, “Rhetorical Flows: Building Transnational Solidarities & Cultures of Resistance,” prompts us to examine the notions of:

  • Solidarity in a global, yet increasingly divided world; and
  • Strategies of rebellion against—and critical engagements with—the gaps between the affluent and the poor, technology and nature, artificiality and authenticity, generations and communities.

    In preparation for the 5th International Rhetoric Workshop 2026, organizers invite submissions on the themes of solidarity, transnationality, and resistance.

Aarhus U Postdoc: Intellectual History of Global Inequality: Argentina (Denmark)

PostdocsOne-Year Postdoc Position: An Intellectual History of Global Inequality, 1960-2015: Argentina, School of Culture and Society, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark. Deadline: 26 July 2020.

The School of Culture and Society at Aarhus University invites applications for a one-year postdoctoral fellowship in the history of ideas. The position is full-time, and is available from 1 February 2021 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position will be part of the project ‘An Intellectual History of Global Inequality, 1960-2015’.

The project will investigate the historical relationship between location and the intellectual history of inequality. The research objects of this study are concepts, theories and ‘languages’ relating to international economic inequality from 1960 to 2015. The approach is historical-contextualist and combines conceptual and intellectual history, focusing upon contributions to academic and public debates by public intellectuals, especially economists, sociologists, historians and philosophers. Furthermore, the approach is comparative: it will compare the thought of Northern (primarily American), Indian, African (primarily Ghanaian) and South American (primarily Argentinian) public intellectuals. The project is thus divided into four subprojects (with this position focusing on Argentina), each investigating a significant geographical area in the global discourse on economic inequality, enabling us to make new comparisons and trace connections in South-South as well as in North-South exchanges. The project will be an important contribution to the global turn in intellectual and conceptual history. The successful applicant will be responsible for the sub-project on Argentina. The postdoc will study key Argentinian intellectuals and the intellectual history of international and global economic inequality in Argentina.
