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.

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 URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-online-koshka-duff-nottingham/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe 104 CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
