Prof. David Uhrig will be speaking at the International Conference "The Young Levinas": from solitude to alterity – part of the Levinas in Kaunas on Monday, July 4th, 2022.
“Levinas in Kaunas” is a five-day international event that will celebrate the work and the person of Emmanuel Levinas. It will take place at the LSMU Emmanuel Levinas Center* in Kaunas, Levinas' hometown. It will bring together French, Lithuanian, Belgian, Polish, Ukrainian, Canadian, American, Japanese, and Israeli invited speakers.
It will address the development of the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas, from Lithuania to France, from “pre-philosophical experiences” of his youth to his mature revolutionary philosophy.
“Levinas in Kaunas” consists of an international conference and an international workshop:
- From July 4 to July 7 (morning), 2022: The international conference “The “young Levinas”: from solitude to alterity” (during which Prof. David Uhrig will speak) will be dedicated to the youth of Emmanuel Levinas in Lithuania (1906-1923) and the elaboration of his philosophy between 1923 and 1960. This will be the first time ever that an international Levinas’ conference is specifically dedicated to this period of Levinas philosophy.
- July 7 (afternoon) and July 8, 2022: The infinite responsibility for the Other, which is at the center of Levinas' ethics elaborated after 1960 has direct implications in bio and medical ethics. The international workshop, “Ethical perspectives of health care practices”, will address the concrete implications of Levinas’ thought for the philosophy of care.
"Levinas in Kaunas" will be in hybrid. Participation is free. Registration to attend remotely here.

Photographie et post-photographie : #nextimage by Nicolas Baudouin
Exposition – Conférence Lundi 1er octobre à 19h00 La révolution numérique a bouleversé plus d’un siècle de pratique photographique. L’image est aujourd’hui omniprésente dans notre quotidien et se consomme en un flux permanent par l’intermédiaire des réseaux sociaux. Chacune et chacun contribue à nourrir ce flux en « postant » ou en partageant sur Instagram, Twitter ou Facebook des images produites à l’aide de son téléphone ou simplement « trouvées » sur le fil d’actualité. Photographe, Nicolas Baudouin s’est laissé prendre au piège de cette « accoutumance » et produit donc toujours plus d’images à l’aide d’outils variés tels que son téléphone, son ordinateur ou son appareil photo et il les diffuse sur différentes plateformes selon la nature de l’image ou son humeur du moment. #nextimage est une sélection d’une quarantaine de ces images provenant de cette pratique compulsive. Mais plutôt que de disparaître dans le flux permanent, remplacée par de nouvelles images, elles ont été imprimées. Elles constituent ainsi une sorte de puzzle confus construit sur un fil narratif improbable brouillant la syntaxe traditionnelle de la « série » photographique. C’est avec Marc Cerisuelo, professeur d’esthétique à l’Université Paris-Est Marne-la- Vallée, que Nicolas Baudouin parlera de ces nouvelles pratiques qui tendent à rendre encore plus « modeste » l’art de la photographie. Ils aborderont sous la forme d’une discussion-débat, les possibilités qu’offrent à l’artiste d’aujourd’hui ces nouveaux champs esthétiques que l’on peut qualifier de « post-photographiques ».
