 )\n\nAz eredeti oldal leírása:\nInternational conference organized by th
 e ELTE Department of English Studies. The conference aims to explore the l
 imits and crossings between the incommensurable discourses of and on life 
 and its limits in medicine\, literature\, and philosophy from the Romantic
  Age to the present. How has “life” been conceptualised\, narrated\, d
 iagnosed\, measured\, aestheticised\, politicised\, and its notion contest
 ed across these domains? What happens when biological\, philosophical\, an
 d literary understandings of life intersect — or fail to translate into 
 one another? From Enlightenment vitalism and Romantic theories of organism
  and imagination to modern biopolitics\, epidemiology\, and posthuman thou
 ght\, the concept of life has remained both foundational and unstable. Med
 ical science has sought to define and preserve life\, philosophy has inter
 rogated its meaning and limits\, and literature has explored its experient
 ial\, ethical\, and narrative dimensions. Yet these discourses often remai
 n partially incompatible\, revealing tensions between scientific descripti
 on\, philosophical reflection\, and narrative representation. We invite co
 ntributions that explore the limits and crossings between medical\, litera
 ry\, and philosophical discourses of life. We are particularly interested 
 in historically grounded as well as theoretically informed approaches. Pos
 sible topics include (but are not limited to): Life\, death\, and narratio
 n Philosophy and the limits of life Romantic medicine\, science\, and lite
 rature Psychiatry\, subjectivity\, and the medicalization of life Biopolit
 ics and the politics of health Race\, medicine\, empire\, and the politics
  of life Indigenous medicine and concepts of life Epidemiology\, disease\,
  and narrative Illness\, diagnosis\, and representation Healing\, recovery
 \, and the limits of cure Disability and the production of norms Ethics of
  care\, ageing\, survival\, and vulnerability Artificial life\, technology
 \, longevity\, and medicine Confirmed keynote speakers: Prof. Hanna Mereto
 ja\, University of Turku Prof. Neil Vickers\, King’s College London Dr. 
 Arthur Rose\, University of Exeter Dr. Danielle Spencer\, Columbia Univers
 ity Dr. Eszter Ureczky\, University of Debrecen The conference will take p
 lace at the Department of English\, Eötvös Loránd University\, in Budap
 est\, Hungary. There is no registration fee\; however\, participants are r
 esponsible for their own travel and accommodation expenses. We welcome sub
 missions from scholars from various fields\, including\, but not limited t
 o literature\, philosophy\, and cultural studies. Abstract proposals of 25
 0-300 words should be sent to life@btk.elte.hu \, accompanied by a 100-wor
