SUMMARY:11th September:  GLEANERS\, DEVILS AND PITS: BOLIVIAN MINING COMMUNITY FILMS
DESCRIPTION:TALK+SCREENING \n\n\nDate: Wednesday 11th of September \n\n? \nPlace: School V? \nTime: From 4 to 5.30 \n\n?Organised by?the Centre for Screen Cultures (CSC)\, the Centre for Amerindian\, Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CAS) and the 58勛圖 Institute for Gender Studies (StAIGS) \n\n\nInvited speaker:?Miguel Errazu (Universidad Aut車noma de Madrid) \n\n\nConvener: Isabel Segu赤 (Dept Film Studies and 58勛圖 Institute for Gender Studies) \n\n\n?Blurb:?One of the most remarkable experiments in radical film pedagogy and media proletarianisation in Latin America cinema is the Miner＊s Film Workshop\, held in Bolivia in 1983. The resulting thirteen films 每 that were thought lost for decades 每 have been recently found in Paris\, together with the entire administrative archive of the workshop. An international research team is currently working on preserving these primary sources and developing a digital restitution project in Bolivia. This presentation will discuss the historical protagonism of women in the workshop and delve into problematic issues related to the preservation and archival activation process in the present. Moreover\, for the first time in the UK\, we will have the opportunity to watch two of the shorts. Join us for a rare visual treat and some academic?self-criticism!

SUMMARY:Unity Seminar: WIP Cotnoir & Schirripa ＆Vagueness & Mereology＊
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Even if philosophers can＊t agree on whether to locate the source of vagueness in the world\, in our language\, or in our knowledge\, we can agree that at least some ordinary mereological claims are vague. For some candidate vague object\, like Edinburgh or Mt Everest\, ?we may regard some of its parts as being definitely part of it (core parts) and others as being indefinitely part of it (penumbral parts). But it would be a mistake to identify a vague object the sum of all its core parts (minimal fusion) or with the sum of all its core and penumbral parts (maximal fusion). Both the minimal and maximal fusions are precise objects (modulo concerns about higher-order vagueness) and\, by definition\, a vague fusion is not a determinate entity. Thus\, we must find an alternative approach. Among the various accounts of vagueness\, supervaluationism has received a great deal of attention\, but almost no attention has been paid to mereological theories set within a supervaluational logic. In this paper\, we provide a formal semantics for a vague mereology based on the idea of penumbral connections. We develop a model theory based on configurations of simple graphs and investigate a supervaluational modal logic for this semantics.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (online) 每 Koshka Duff (Nottingham)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Strip-searching as Abjectification: Racism and Sexual Violence in British Policing \nAbstract: Co-authored with Tom Kemp (Criminology\, University of Nottingham)\, this paper examines police strip-searching practices in the UK. Drawing on newly acquired Freedom of Information data\, publicly available testimonies\, thematic analysis of official literature and media reports\, and first-hand experience\, we advance three arguments. First\, strip-searching is used systematically\, not exceptionally\, and targets young people and people of colour\, especially Black young men and boys. Second\, strip-searching in practice is demonstrably excessive when measured against its stated rationales of ＆crime＊ detection and ＆caring＊ for detainees; we unpick the circular logics through which it is legitimized in official and public discourse. Third\, drawing on Sharpe＊s notion of the abject\, we argue that strip-searching\, as a form of normalized sexual violence folded into the rubric of ＆care＊\, is part of a project of abjectification that aims to exclude the individuals and groups it targets from social and political subjecthood \nLocation: online & livestreamed from Edgecliffe G03

SUMMARY:FPST Seminar 每 Serene Khader (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Why it Matters When ※Human§ Means ※White§ or ※Man§\n\nAbstract: This paper is part of a larger project that seeks to vindicate a claim often made in feminist and decolonial theory\, but whose relevance to political philosophy is rarely understood: the claim that the concept of the human has been a vehicle of oppression. I focus here on identifying an undertheorized mechanism by which conceptions of human flourishing can be oppressive. Conceptions of human flourishing can require social practices that cannot be achieved without the subordination of some. A particular danger of such conceptions of human flourishing is that they can conceal prescriptions that make things worse within what seem to be pathways to making things better. I use a term inspired by Sylvia Wynter to name this mechanism by which conceptions of human flourishing can be oppressive: ※interest overrepresentation.§

SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:This week the Moral Philosophy Reading Group will be discussing Kai Spiekermann＊s paper ＆Irreversible Loss＊. \nAbstract: This chapter offers three reasons for trying to avoid some irreversible losses. First\, there is a prudential reason for avoiding irreversible loss in order to keep options open in the future in the face of uncertainty. Second\, humans have reasons to care about the preservation of some goods\, even beyond their own life. Third\, present generations may have duties towards future generations to avoid some irreversible losses\, though spelling out such theories of intergenerational ethics or justice is challenging. Finally\, the chapter responds to the objection that 每 in a certain sense 每 all processes are irreversible and the notion therefore empty. A sensible conception of irreversibility is offered that avoids this concern. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in-person & online) 每 Derek Ball (58勛圖) & Caroline Touburg (Ume? University)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Philosophical Foundations of Green-House Gas Accounting \nAbstract: International agreements such as the Kyoto protocol and the Paris agreement require countries to measure and track their greenhouse gas emissions.? Companies (as well as universities and other organisations) are required by governmental regulations or their own net-zero goals to do the same.? Greenhouse gas accounting is the project of measuring and tracking GHG emissions.? Although there are a range of standards and guidelines governing GHG accounting practice\, a number of issues remain unresolved in the literature\, including how to account for emissions of short-lived but potent GHGs such as methane\, and how (and indeed whether) to account for temporary storage of CO2 (for example\, in wood products); and standard approaches to these issues are\, in our view\, seriously flawed.? ?Our talk has two aims\, one technical\, the other theoretical.? The technical aim is to sketch a framework that provides a principled resolution of these issues.? The theoretical aim is to discuss the normative presuppositions of the framework.? Notably\, the framework relies on the idea that in some cases\, we should focus on the preservation of some valuable thing 每 avoiding loss and minimizing damage 每 rather than on some aggregable value (such as money\, or well-being).? This shift in focus puts us in a position to avoid some of the problems we see in extant approaches\, and has potential for application in other areas of moral philosophy. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03
