| Søren Kierkegaard Society AAR SessionSaturday, November 21, 2026, 9:00am – 11:30am, Colorado Convention Center, 206 (Street Level)
Session Title: “Kierkegaard and Negative Phenomena” This session explores the centrality of “the negative” in Søren Kierkegaard’s authorship, attending to its philosophical, theological, and literary dimensions. This panel investigates the constitutive role of negation—understood not merely as a logical operation, but first and foremost as an existential movement manifested in phenomena such as anxiety, absurdity, irony, offense, despair, and silence. Papers will be given by Jeff Hanson (New College of Florida), Anna Söderquist (St. Olaf College), and Clay Snell (Boston College). Note also that there will also be several other papers on Kierkegaard in various sessions. |
