<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Book Antiqua"" class="">Luce Irigaray’s thinking has far-reaching influence across a number of disciplines and practices including Philosophy,
the Natural Sciences, Women’s Health, Literature and Literary Criticism, Women’s and Gender Studies, Religious Studies, Indigenous Studies, Political Theory, Classics, Linguistics, Architecture, Performance Studies, Music, Sound Studies, Feminist Legal theory,
Art and Aesthetic practices, etc. The Circle seeks to generate new possibilities for thinking sexual difference by honouring and supporting interdisciplinarity and the multiple research trajectories, methods and projects inspired by Irigaray’s thought. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:"Book Antiqua"" class="">This year’s conference draws its theme from the figure of the
<i class="">horizon </i>mobilized in Irigaray’s work that encompasses social, political, ethical, and cultural processes in relation to sexual difference; a figure that indicates new possibilities for meaning – meanings that are located, historical and specific
to the horizon of their appearance. In particular, we seek to reconsider Irigaray’s call to bring into view the appearance of sexual difference as a question for our time, as well as problematize the centrality of this claim. Does sexual difference open up
other horizons of difference or occlude them? How can we conceive horizon<b class=""><i class="">s</i></b> of sexual difference?
