The Other of Recognition In recent years,recognition has become a highly productive paradigm in its own right within social philosophy. The problem of "nonrecognition or misrecognition" (Taylor 1994) has been neglected. Only recently has research increasingly turned to the ambivalence or other of recognition.

Following on from this, the conference will examine both the immanent contradictoriness of recognition processes and counter concepts (such as ignorance, contempt or disregard) and counter phenomena in various social contexts.

While the first day of the conference will discuss the conceptual vocabulary that can be used to talk about this other of recognition, the second day will examine various spheres of recognition to see to what extent processes of asymmetrical socialization take place here alongside mutual recognition, i.e. to what extent the other of recognition is (re-)produced.

Prof. Mona Motakef is participating in the conference with a lecture on 'Precarious Work, Precarious Love'.

Here is the full program.
