Meeting Description:

This conference seeks to examine the ethical dimensions of narcissism
beyond its psychological entanglements. Through an interdisciplinary
approach, researchers are invited to address the following questions:
When we speak or write, are we disseminating an authentic self-image?
Can we examine narcissism without exploring its social manifestations
and impact on social/power relations? If society overvalues images,
can we still regard it as authentic? Or is society nothing but a
Baudrillardian “procession of simulacra,” ready for mass-consumption?
How has narcissism affected our social and cultural perceptions and
practices? And how far have our sacred [self]images spectralized our
authentic selves? In an era of mass-communication, can we still
communicate our real feelings and impressions, or do we simply display
our grandiosity to forfeit and exile our humanity?
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- Narcissism and socio-political relations
- Narcissism in art, literature, and (visual) culture
- Narcissism and mass media.
- Narcissism in the social media and
mass-communication/miscommunication
- Narcissism in/and language/ discourse analysis
- Narcissism and manipulation
- Leader narcissism, or new forms of despotism
- Narcissism and the politics of simulation
- Narcissism, identity, passing, and performativity
- Narcissism and colonial relations
- Narcissism and geopolitical borders/ mapping
- Narcissism, necropolitics, and biopolitics
- Narcissism and representation
- Narcissism, nationalism, and ethnocentrism
- Narcissism in history and historiography
- The culture of spectacle, self-display, and entitlement
- Narcissism and authority/ narcissism and authorship
- Narcissism, individualism, utilitarianism, and ethnocentrism.

Please send a 300-word abstract, including your name, the title of
your paper, and your university, for a 20-minute presentation no later
than 10 December  2023 to isshtconference at gmail.com.
- English is the language of the conference, but papers in Arabic and
French will also be accepted.
- Poster presentations are welcome.
- Notification of acceptance:  15 December 2023.
