But what is it for someone to objectify another person? A common theme is that objectification involves treating and viewing the other person as an object. Thus, consider the following quotes:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018A man, for example, who objectifies women will view them and treat them as having a nature which makes them what he desires them to be\u2026\u2019 (Haslanger, p.73)<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The most subtle and deniable way sexualized evaluation is enacted \u2013 and arguably the most ubiquitous \u2013 is through gaze, or visual inspection of the body .\u2026 when objectified, women are treated as bodies \u2013 and in particular, as bodies that exist for the use and pleasure of others.\u2019 (Fredrickson and Roberts, p.175)<\/p>\n<p>In a classic paper, Nussbaum has unpacked the various aspects of \u201ctreating someone as an object\u201d. What has received less attention is the role of perception in objectification. It is striking that in describing what objectification involves, the language of \u201cseeing\u201d, of \u201cgaze\u201d, of \u201clooking\u201d is central. Is this purely metaphorical talk? Or is there something literally visual going on?<\/p>\n<p>Our aim in this paper is to answer this question: can we make sense of\u00a0 objectification as a phenomenon with a genuinely visual component? We suggest that the notion of affordance perception \u2013 the idea that we perceive possibilities for action \u2013 allows us to do so. We draw out some consequences for the moral psychology of objectification as well as for the act of looking as a tool of oppression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: On seeing women as objects: objectification and affordance perception Location: Teams (online only), the talk will be streamed from Edgecliffe G03 Abstract: Objectification is a central topic in feminist&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","_tribe_events_is_hybrid":"","_tribe_events_is_virtual":"","_tribe_events_virtual_video_source":"","_tribe_events_virtual_embed_video":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button_text":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_at":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_to":[],"_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_event":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_views":"","_tribe_events_virtual_url":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[20],"class_list":["post-10079","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry","tribe_events_cat-ceppa-talk","cat_ceppa-talk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/10079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/10079\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10466,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/10079\/revisions\/10466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10079"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=10079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
