SUMMARY:Philosophy and Social Theory Seminar: Emilia Wilson Dangerous Speech\, Free Speech and Cancel Culture
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Toxic speech inflicts individual and group harm\, damaging the social fabric upon which we all depend. To understand and combat the harms of toxic speech\, philosophers can learn from epidemiology\, while epidemiologists can benefit from lessons of philosophy of language. In medicine and public health\, research into remedies for toxins pushes in two directions: individual protections (personal actions\, avoidances\, preventive or reparative tonics) and collective action (specific policies or widespread “inoculations” through which we seek herd immunity). This paper is the beginning of a project of identifying potential inoculations and antidotes to toxic speech. The essay brings a social practice theory of language\, with special reliance on language-games and inferential roles\, into conversation with concepts from the study of biologic toxins. Some speech harms are acute while others are chronic and insidious; they have different methods of delivery\, come invariable doses\, and not everyone is equally susceptible to the power to harm. I argue that of the many kinds of challenges we might issue against toxic speech\, challenging its expressive commitments has the greatest potential to stop the damage.The essay explores the different sorts of protections that inoculations andantidotes might offer against discursive toxins and sketches how to imagine these in the practices that govern our speech. The paper does not make policy recommendations\, but an epidemiology of discursive toxicity reveals several kinds of “more speech” that might fight against “bad speech.”

SUMMARY:Feminist Philosophy and Social Theory Seminar: Nick Allen\, ‘Context-Collapsed Contributory Injustice’
DESCRIPTION:For our second session on the theme of ‘Dangerous Speech\, Free Speech and Cancel Culture’ Nick Allen will be giving a presentation titled ‘Context-Collapsed Contributory Injustice: the Dangers of Misappropriating Speech Online‘. \n\n\nAbstract: The misappropriation of marginalised communities’ terminology by the wider public is a particularly modern and nefarious form of discriminatory practice\, fuelled increasingly by social media. Using these terms outside their original context warps their meaning\, decreasing the intelligibility of the experiences of the marginalised agents who use them when attempting to express themselves both within their community and without. \nI intend to give an analysis of this phenomena\, with the expectation that understanding it better will provide a crucial step in combatting it. To this end I will argue it can best be understood as a specialised form of what Kristie Dotson calls ‘contributory injustice’ combined with a specific consequence of what Boyd and Marwick call ‘context collapse’. The result is a novel phenomena I label ‘Context-Collapsed Contributory Injustice’ or ‘CC.CI’. \nIn addition\, I will argue that CC.CI causes a novel from of what Miranda Fricker calls ‘hermeneutical injustice’\, which is demarcated by its ability to reintroduce conceptual lacunas by undermining existing hermeneutical resources. \n\n\nThroughout\, I will focus on the example case of the misappropriation of the concept ‘woke’ as it is used on black twitter (which is\, roughly\, the subsection of twitter users who are black and tweet with the intended audience of other black users).
