SUMMARY:FPST Seminar: Anne Eaton (UIC) – Online
DESCRIPTION:Title: Beyond Speech: Pictures and Oppression \nAbstract: Philosophical work on oppressive forms of expression strongly tends to give verbal and written linguistic expression pride of place. When it comes to pictures\, there is a tendency to either treat them as if they were language – one sees this in feminist work on pornography – or worse\, to ignore pictures altogether when the topic at hand least typically pictorial or typically has a significant pictorial dimension – one sees this in Jason Stanley’s work on propaganda. \nAgainst this linguisticism\, I argue that central and influential forms of oppressive “speech” are in fact pictorial and that to understand how they do their oppressive work\, we must approach pictures as pictures rather than as forms of spoken or written language. In this paper\, I first examine one glaring case of linguisticism\, then say something about what I think is going on here\, and finally briefly examine examples of oppressive pictures and give the outlines of an explanation of how they do their oppressive work. \nPlease note that I will be discussing pictures that glorify and eroticize rape\, and pictures that mock\, shame\, and demean Black persons. I will also mention pictures of lynchings. I will also briefly show some of these pictures\, though not the lynching pictures. I will not leave any pictures up for long because they are triggering or otherwise injurious for many of us. That\, after all\, is part of the point of this paper. I will give warning before I show or mention these pictures.

SUMMARY:FPST Seminar: Sebastian Stuart Betanzos (58�Թ�) – In-Person
DESCRIPTION:Title: The Sex/Gender Distinction\, Revisited \nAbstract: This talk will build on an earlier chapter in my thesis where I sketched out two conceptual resources from psychoanalysis\, these being the body-schema and the universal bisexual potential of the human body (the UBP). The body-schema is the means through which we apprehend having a felt-sense of the body (i.e. it is the psychological abstraction of the ego). The UBP is an observation that any given human body displays both male and female sex characteristics\, even those bodies that would usually be considered as being clearly legible as male or female. Given this psychoanalytic embodiment theory\, I pose the following question: How do particular sex characteristics express themselves in the body-schema? I will argue that there is an assumption hidden in the question\, namely that there is a distinction between sex and gender such that it makes sense to speak of one as if separate from the other. This talk will explore the metaphysics of the sex/gender distinction and will start by distinguishing three different kinds of sex/gender distinctions\, these being: the distinction of classification\, the distinction of features\, and the distinction of function. In order to provide a model that can account for all three of the distinctions individually and in unison\, I will build on the psychoanalytic embodiment theory and integrate it in conversation with recent proposals in analytic social ontology. This model will then be used to clarify the referents in the initial question (‘how do particular sex characteristics express themselves in the body schema?’) and provide the tools to formulate an answer.
