SUMMARY:Feminist Philosophy and Social Theory Seminar: Jonathan Flowers\, ‘The Affective Quality of Gender’
DESCRIPTION:The Feminist Philosophy and Social Theory Seminar is delighted to welcome Jonathan Flowers\, Professorial Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy & Religion at American University\, who will be delivering a talk titled ‘The Affective Quality of Gender’: \nTitle: The Affective Quality of Gender \nAbstract: \n     While Judith Butler recognizes that identity\, specifically gendered identities\, are established through a stylized repetition of acts\, and Shannon Sullivan connects this stylized repetition of acts to John Dewey’s concept of habit\, this talk will seek to advance upon these theories by presenting the gendered identity established by these habits as one that is affective and qualitative\, by placing both Butler and Sullivan in conversation with Richard Shusterman’s “somaesthetics” and the aesthetic philosophy of John Dewey.  \n     On this view\, the different gendered habits which are taken from or imposed upon us by culture serve to enable an affective perception of the body as not only gendered\, but gendered in a specific way in line with our cultural expectations. This affective perception serves the ground of our immediate judgments of the gender of a body and serves to enable the denotation of bodies as gendered in social space.  \n

SUMMARY:Feminist Philosophy and Social Theory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:For our next seminar we will be having our second session on the theme of ‘Dangerous Speech\, Free Speech and Cancel Culture”. Derek Ball will be presenting a work in progress titled ‘A Limited\, Metasemantic Defense of Cancel Culture‘. \nTitle:“A Limited\, Metasemantic Defense of Cancel Culture”\nAbstract: \nHume wrote\, “We cannot form to ourselves a just idea of the taste of a pine-apple\, without having actually tasted it”.  Putnam claimed that brains in vats could not entertain thoughts about the external world\, since thinking such thoughts requires genuine contact with the world one is thinking about.  These are claims about how one’s circumstances constrain what one can think — what contents one can entertain.  This talk aims to develop the notion of a content constraint\, and to relate this notion to issues of free speech.  A leading idea is that free speech requires adequate conceptual and linguistic resources\, and that this requirement can motivate actions designed to avoid content constraints (including constraints that might be caused by the actions of other speakers).  On plausible metasemantic assumptions\, there could be cases in which deplatforming or cancelling are appropriate responses to speakers whose speech threatens to create constraints for others; but care is needed to determine exactly what kinds of cases might justify these responses.

SUMMARY:Feminist Philosophy and Social Theory Seminar: Nick Allen
DESCRIPTION:For our third seminar on the theme of Dangerous Speech\, Free Speech and Cancel Culture Nick Allen will be giving a work-in-progress presentation titled ‘Context-Collapsed Contributory Injustice: the Dangers of Misappropriating Speech Online‘.\n\nTitle: Context-Collapsed Contributory Injustice: the Dangers of Misappropriating Speech Online \n\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). \n
