rdf:langString International Association for Philosophy and Literature

rdf:langString The International Association for Philosophy and Literature (IAPL), founded in 1976 by Hugh J. Silverman, brought together thinkers and scholars working in a wide range of disciplines concerned with the study of philosophical, historical, critical, and theoretical issues. The IAPL was dedicated to the exchange of ideas and to the enhancement of scholarly research in the arts and the humanities. The IAPL provided an opportunity to engage in discussion at the intersections of philosophical, literary, cultural, textual, visual, medial, art, and aesthetic theories. With its focus on interdisciplinary topics and commitments, the IAPL played a role in the articulation of vital and exciting recent developments in philosophy, literature, and the arts. Since Hugh J. Silverman's death in 2013* Obituary, the IAPL has continued as an organization and has published volumes related to previous conferences but has refrained from organizing conferences. In 2018 the IAPL relaunched as The Association for Philosophy and Literature and has started with a new series of annual conferences.
