Arbeitsgruppe Phänomenologie und neuere franzoesische Philosophie: http://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/phenomenology/
"Die Arbeitsgruppe Phänomenologie und neuere französische Philosophie ist
aus dem Arbeitsbereich von Bernhard Waldenfels im DFG-Graduiertenkolleg
Phänomenologie und Hermeneutik hervorgegangen, das von 1992 bis 1998 gemeinsam an den
philosophischen Instituten der Bergischen Universität Gesamthochschule Wuppertal und der
Ruhr-Universität Bochum durchgeführt wurde. Seit vielen Jahren richten sich die Bemühungen
darauf, den Gedankenverkehr zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich für gegenwärtige Fragestellungen
fruchtbar zu machen. Zu dieser Arbeit gehört nicht nur die Herausgabe und Übersetzung wichtiger
Werke von Merleau-Ponty, Ricœur und Derrida, sondern dazu gehört vor allem auch die eigenständige
Arbeit an Phänomenen und Texten, bei der neben den geläufigen Nachbarwissenschaften auch
Disziplinen wie Ethnologie, Psychoanalyse und Medientheorie eine Rolle spielen. Die meisten dieser
Arbeiten erscheinen fortlaufend in
den Reihen "Übergänge" und "Phänomenologische Untersuchungen" beim Fink-Verlag."

questions and the pursuit of critical debates.

Center for Subjectivity Research, Danish National Research Foundation
(Denmark): http://www.cfs.ku.dk/
Danish National Research Foundation: Center for Subjectivity Research is a research center located at the University of Copenhagen and funded by
the Danish National Research Foundation. The aim of the center is to undertake a thorough and comprehensive investigation of what might be considered the three
fundamental dimensions of subjectivity: Intentionality, self-awareness, and intersubjectivity (i.e., subjectivity in its relation to the world, to itself, and
to others). The research in particular will focus on the question of whether subjectivity can be naturalized. The center emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches
and draws on philosophy of mind, philosophy of religion, and psychopathology and explicitly seeks to further the dialogue not only between different philosophical
traditions (phenomenology, hermeneutics, analytical philosophy of mind), but also between philosophy and empirical science.

Círculo Latinoamericano de Fenomenología: http://www.clafen.org/
El Círculo se llama latinoamericano por estar radicado en
Latinoamérica y haber sido fruto de la iniciativa de fenomenólogos
latinoamericanos. En la reunión que dio lugar a su constitución,
se decidió que el requisito para ser miembros sería un serio,
aunque no necesariamente exclusivo, interés por la fenomenología,
y competencia en la misma.
El Círculo contará con un/a secretario/a y un/a coordinador/a
de la sede electrónica, y planea tener dos modalidades de trabajo.
La primera, se llevará a cabo a través de reuniones o coloquios
con una regularidad a ser determinada --aprovechando, cuando sea el caso,
el marco de Congresos de Filosofía Interamericanos u otros. La segunda
se realizará a través de una sede electrónica en Internet,
que cumplirá diversos objetivos: en ella se armará el Directorio
de miembros del Círculo, se realizarán las inscripciones,
se consignará la agenda de trabajo, y, finalmente, se anunciarán
los diversos
proyectos de trabajo de los fenomenólogos latinoamericanos
--que incluyen investigaciones, conferencias, coloquios locales, publicaciones,
y la organización misma de las reuniones o coloquios que constituyen
la primera modalidad mencionada de trabajo. En dicha sede, además,
se establecerán enlaces con páginas de proyectos individuales
de los investigadores de los diversos países, etc.
Habiéndose constituído el Círculo Latinoamericano
de Fenomenología, éste anuncia que iniciará sus actividades
el mes de setiembre del presente año, y que próximamente
lanzará una convocatoria dirigida a los posibles miembros en todos
los países de América Latina.

of scholars committed to the work of Edmund Husserl (1859-1938). The society founds itself upon the various

thereby to a dogmatic conception of any particular historical model of philosophy. Rather, the members of the
society promote the continuance of the phenomenological model of philosophizing. Since its founding in 1969,
the society has regularly held international meetings devoted to specific philosophical themes of phenomenological
research. The society's journal, Phaänomenologiche Forschungen (Karl Alber Verlag, Freiburg/Br.;
since 2001 Felix Meiner Verlag, Hamburg), has appeared since 1975.

caters to a demand for critical discussions in Austria...."

The Psychology Fenomenológica presents a double structuring.
As " psychology " is empiric and it uses the method scientist to
come closer to the study object. As " fenomenología " is
founded philosophically and guided. And it looks for, being
applied to the " facts " to acquire a place fundamentador inside
the psychology contemporary.

Society for the Advancement of Convergent Phenomenology: http://www.xsacp.org/
Executive Directors: Faustino Mendieta and Jim Ruddy. Convergent phenomenology is an utterly new, but still completely Husserlian, phenomenological science of the constitution of adesse (purely relation-like) objectivity rather than the traditional inesse (purely thing-like or intentional) objectivity of Husserl. This new phenomenology thereby allows the theme of the divine subject-consciousness of God to be finally drawn into the realm of phenomenological investigation simply as an "asymmetrical" relation towards such subject-consciousness, a "co-constituted" relationality perforce hidden within the unexamined depths of concrete transcendental subjectivity itself. It thus brings such investigative material to light, through a pure eidetics of relation, as "object-toward..." just as Husserl brought his own entire science to light by grounding it in a pure formal ontology of "object-about-which..."
