WORKSHOP – Counter-Experiences, Dissent, and Social Interests: Articulating the Social World

The aim of the workshop is to reflect on counter-experiences, namely, on the development by social groups of common experiences of the social world alternative to the dominant ones, which disclose critical perspectives on social wrongs and power relationships, practices of resistance, and new social requests. The workshop will approach this topic in its complexity, considering its processes, conditions, categories, possible obstacles, and from different philosophical perspectives and traditions.
