Phänomenologische Forschungen – 24.10.2024 – Jakub Capek: Phänomenologie der Wahrnehmung und Perspektivenwechsel (mit Merleau-Ponty)

by Gerhard Unterthurner

Liebe Kolleg_innen, wir möchten Sie herzlich zur nächsten Veranstaltung der Vortragsreihe „Phänomenologische Forschungen“ einladen: VORTRAG 24.10.2024, 18.30–20.00 Uhr, Hörsaal 3D, Institut für Philosophie, Universitätsstraße 7, A-1010 Wien Jakub Capek (Prag): „Phänomenologie der Wahrnehmung und Perspektivenwechsel (mit Merleau-Ponty)“ _Abstract: _ „Es ist eine Frage der Perspektive.“ Dieser Satz kann in einer Vielzahl von Situationen vorkommen. In der Lebensberatung kann er eine Ermutigung sein, die Sichtweise auf das eigene Leben zu ändern. In einer politischen Auseinandersetzung ist er eine Mahnung an den Gegner, dass seine Annahmen nicht selbstverständlich sind und sicher nicht von allen geteilt werden. Bei der Begegnung mit einer anderen Kultur ist es eine Erinnerung an die Relativität unserer eigenen Urteile. Wenn man in der Philosophie versucht, diese Erfahrungen der Perspektivität zu verallgemeinern und den Perspektivismus zu verteidigen, stößt man auf verschiedene Arten von Einwänden. Spätestens seit Nietzsche wird dem Perspektivismus ein erkenntnistheoretischer Skeptizismus und ein ethischer Relativismus vorgeworfen. Außerdem stellt sich die Frage, ob der Perspektivist seine Position verteidigen kann (und ob er nicht einen Widerspruch ähnlich dem Paradox des Lügners begeht). In meiner Überlegung zur „Frage der Perspektive“ werde ich von einer Analyse der Wahrnehmung ausgehen und dabei auf Merleau-Ponty zurückgreifen. Wir nehmen Dinge und Ereignisse immer aus einem bestimmten Blickwinkel und vor einem bestimmten Hintergrund wahr, die jedoch verändert werden können. Die Perspektive ist – im Laufe unserer Erfahrung – nicht ihr Thema. Aber sie kann zu einem werden, etwa in den oben genannten Situationen. Die Frage ist also, wie man sich der eigenen Perspektive bewusst wird und welche Konsequenzen dies hat. Der Gegenstand meiner Überlegungen ist also der Unterschied zwischen der Perspektivität der Erfahrung und der Erfahrung der Perspektivität. Das letztere weist auf die Möglichkeit eines Perspektivenwechsels. Mit besten Grüßen, Michael Staudigl, Gerhard Unterthurner https://phaenomenologie.univie.ac.at/forschung/vorlesungsreihe-phaenomenolo…

Conference "Foucault and Marx: Ambivalences, Legacies, and Future Struggles"

by Ralf Gisinger

Dear Colleagues, We'd like to cordially invite you to our upcoming conference at the Department of Philosophy: Foucault and Marx: Ambivalences, Legacies, and Future Struggles University of Vienna 18-19 October 2024 The international symposium "Foucault and Marx: Ambivalences, Legacies, and Future Struggles" aims to explore the tense relationship between Foucault and Marx and, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Foucault's death in 2024, to put it into perspective with regard to Foucault's intellectual legacy. Foucault is generally perceived as a harsh critic of Marxism, both in terms of its analytical possibilities and political dangers. This contrasts strongly not only with Foucault's repeated emphasis on the centrality of Marx, but also with clear theoretical parallels. The subject of the symposium is therefore the question of how this ambivalence is to be understood, what it means for possible continuations of the Foucauldian project and to what extent the Foucault-Marx connection can be made fruitful for current and future questions. No pre-registration, no fees.

Invitation: Trans*formations talk by Eric Llaveria Caselles, October 18th 2024 - also ONLINE!

by Flora Löffelmann

Dear all, it is my pleasure to invite you to the third installment of the Trans*formations talk series organized by the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy at the Institute of Philosophy, University of Vienna, which provides insights into recent developments in trans* philosophizing. This time, Eric Llaveria Caselles, currently working at the Center for Interdisciplinary Women and Gender Studies (ZIFG) at the Technical University Berlin, will give a talk titled "Epistemic Violence and Trans Theory. A Cartography of Minor Truths." When: Friday, October 18th 2024 15:00 - 16:30 Where: HS 3B, 3. Stock Neues Institutsgebäude (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien If you want to follow the talk online, please join using the following link: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/67838003396?pwd=jmudw0UhAfnZdnkbYipm1ARVS0B28a.1 Kenncode: 0000 Abstract: For the transsexual subject to be able to emerge as a source of credible speech, a fundamental critique of the western epistemic and symbolic order had to gain traction. When Susan Stryker stood up at a Lesbian and Gay History conference in New York in 1995 and yelled “I am a transsexual and I am not sick!”, she reclaimed the participation of the transsexual intellectual in the production of truths, refuting discourses of dehumanization. This inaugural scene of Trans Studies places the undoing of epistemic violence as both a precondition and a fundamental commitment of trans theoretical practice. But what does this commitment to emancipatory forms of knowledge production entail? What are the contradictions of aspiring to anti-normative purity? What conversations can we build on the repeated condemnation of those reproducing symbolic violence? Does this commitment not miss the practical reason of cultural narratives? And is it possible to separate the epistemic violence from our sense of self, our needs and desires? Do the voices of trans people really hold the key to an emancipatory meaning? And if we betray the idea that we just need to let trans people speak, what then can hold the possibility of undoing epistemic violence? In this talk, I reflect on these questions based on my own research trajectory, which spans topics such as trans subcultural spaces, neuroscientific studies of (trans)gender identity and trans social reproduction in global capitalism. The talk traces the shifts of my theoretical practice by building a personal cartography of minor truths. I take the term “minor truths” from the title of a show by the artist Spence Messih. Their glasswork compositions and philosophical considerations introduce a phenomenological sensibility in my analysis, inspiring me to search for a language that reflects the inseparability of theoretical standpoint from affective states, social relationships and political conjunctures. In conversation with Messih’s work, the talk evolves in a non-linear motion connecting five modes of epistemic experience: abstraction, vulnerability, praxeology, dialogue and betrayal. Bio: Eric Llaveria Caselles is a PhD Candidate at the Center for Interdisciplinary Women and Gender Studies (ZIFG) at the Technical University Berlin. His recent publications explore the limitations of gender identity positivism and queer deconstructivism as the two main approaches to trans theory. His research builds on current trans Marxist proposals and historical materialist traditions of gender theory to set the groundwork for an alternative framework in Trans Studies.

Reminder: The Boundaries of Mathematics - Young Academy Distinguished Lecture on 9th October 2024 at 5pm

by Anne Sophie Meincke

Dear All, On behalf of the Young Academy of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, it is my pleasure to invite you to the next edition of the Young Academy Distinguished Lecture Series, which will take place on Wednesday, 9th October 2024, at 5p.m. in the Festsaal of the main building of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (Doktor-Ignaz-Seipel-Platz 2). The topic is: "The Boundaries of Mathematics: From Gödel to the Study of Large Infinities" Mathematics is known as an exact science: Every statement seems to be true or false in the sense that it can be proved or disproved. Kurt Gödel shocked the mathematical community in the 1930s by showing that there are mathematical statements that can neither be proved nor disproved. While his example was of theoretical nature, we now know several examples from mathematical practice. In particular, the study of large infinities is full of unprovable statements, thus pointing beyond mathematics into the realm of philosophy. The lecture will shed light on the origins of Gödel's incompleteness theorem and discuss the latest research on unprovable statements, especially in the study of large infinities. The speakers are: - Jan von Plato, logician and historian of science at the University of Helsinki, - W. Hugh Woodin, Professor of Philosophy and Mathematics at Harvard University and expert in axiomatic set theory, - Sandra Müller, member of the Young Academy of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and mathematician at the TU Wien. The discussion will be moderated by Anne Sophie Meincke, philosopher at the University of Vienna and member of the Young Academy. The Young Academy Distinguished Lecture Series brings cutting-edge scientific topics to the public, presented by distinguished experts and a member of the Young Academy. More details are to be found in the attached booklet. Due to popular demand, the event has been relocated from the Sitzungssaal to the Festsaal of the main building of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Please register here: https://www.oeaw.ac.at/veranstaltungen/anmeldung/young-academy-distinguishe… We are looking forward to seeing you.
