Invitation: Trans*Formations 16.1. – Talk by Luce deLire and Film by Isa Schieche

by Flora Löffelmann

Dear all, this is a reminder for the first Trans*Formations event! Trans Philosophy is one of the most exciting 'new' strands of philosophical theorizing, and we are happy to host the first event on the topic at the University of Vienna. First, Luce deLire (formerly John Hopkins University, https://getaphilosopher.com/) will give the talk "Can The Transsexual Speak?". Abstract: On September 14, 2021 Ella Nik Bayan set herself on fire at Berlin Alexanderplatz, Germany. She died shortly after. On February 2, 2024, the German government will most probably pass a new 'Self-Determination Law' (Selbstbestimmungsgesetz) which promises to simplify transition related changes of name and gender identity markers in legal documents. In my talk, I use these two examples to present what I call 'the transsexual contract': Trans and non-binary self determination is (often violently) incapacitated by means of concrete legal, political and epistemological arrangements. This is the case even in left wing art, activism and allegedly 'progressive' legislation. Allegedly, the transsexual contract protects cis people from trans propaganda and from their own confusion. Yet in reality, its main goal is the production and control of cis people. One is not born cis, but becomes cis. With a post-colonial lens, I suggest queer hospitality as a concrete practice to unlearn this toxic logic of protection. After a Q&A with Luce deLire, we will watch the film "Die Räuberinnen" (2023) by Austrian filmmaker Isa Schieche, who recently also received the Goldene Medusa Award for this film.(More Info: https://isaschieche.com/Die-Rauberinnen) About the film: Three trans women meet in a country house to plan a robbery. The trick of the heist is that, in order to create a false trail, they disguise themselves as men. While they share everyday life as a well-established team and lovers, they practice speaking in a deep voice, walking manly and behaving in a masculine manner. In this process, they reach their emotional and physical limits and repeatedly fail to imitate male connoted behavior."Die Räuberinnen" is a sociological analysis of male- and female-attributed behavior and traits, shaking up binary role models in a swirl of radicalism and activism. The talk will be in English, the film is in German with English subtitles. There will be popcorn, snacks and drinks to round off the event! When? Tuesday, January 16th, 2024 from 15:00 to 16:30 Where? HS 3F, Institute of Philosophy, NIG (Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Vienna) Looking forward to seeing you on January 16th! Any sharing of the event is highly appreciated, and the poster for the event is attached to this email. Please do not hesitate to contact me concerning any accessibility needs or questions! With warm greetings, Flora Löffelmann -- Flora Löffelmann, MA MA University assistant & doctoral candidate Department of Philosophy at University of Vienna Pronouns: they/them (for more info see: https://www.mypronouns.org/what-and-why/) Happy about a gender neutral "hello"!

Filmscreening: Inter*, trans_ und nicht-binär im österreichischen Kontext

by Flora Löffelmann

Liebe alle, ich darf euch herzlich zu einem Film Screening einladen, das nächste Woche stattfindet. Der sogenannte Transgender Tipping Point deutet auf eine nie dagewesene Präsenz von trans_ Personen in medialen Darstellungen im Globalen Norden hin, die, wenn auch seltener, auch für die Darstellung von inter* und nicht-binären Personen, Lebensrealitäten und Aktivismen gilt. Die Arbeitsgruppe Inter*Trans_Nonbinary der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Geschlechterforschung (ÖGGF), das Referat Genderforschung (Universität Wien) und das Institut für Theater-, Film und Medienwissenschaft (Universität Wien) laden zu einem Filmprogramm zu emanzipatorischen Zugängen zu trans_inter*nichtbinären Lebensrealitäten im österreichischen Kontext. In einem anschließenden Publikumsgespräch mit einigen der beteiligten Filmemacher*innen/Aktivist*innen wird unter anderem nach den Möglichkeiten und Unmöglichkeiten emanzipatorischer Arbeit gefragt, und danach, welche Aspekte allzu oft zu kurz kommen. Zeit: Freitag, 19. Jänner 2024, 18.30 Uhr, mit Snacks und Getränken im Anschluss Ort: Hörsaal 5 im UZA II, Josef-Holaubek-Platz, 1090 Wien Informationen zu Zuwegen und zur Erreichbarkeit für Rollstuhlfahrer*innen (mit Fotos): https://shorturl.at/fgK12 Sprachen: Die Filme Inter*Story und Trans*Phoria sind in deutscher Lautsprache ohne Untertitel; der Film Trans*Gaze ist in deutscher und englischer Lautsprache mit englischen Untertiteln. Die Diskussion wird in deutscher/englischer Lautsprache stattfinden. Der Hörsaal verfügt leider über keine Induktionsschleifen. Programm: Inter*Story – ein Stück Aktivismus (Djordje Čenić, Nicole Baïer, Österreich 2023, 43 Min.; deutsche Version) Trans*Gaze (Rosa Wiesauer, Österreich 2021, 20 Min.; deutsche/englische Version mit englischen Untertiteln) Trans*Phoria (weitere Informationen folgen) Publikumsgespräch mit: Ruth Jenrbekova (Trans*Gaze), Magdalena Klein und Tinou Ponzer (Inter*Story), safer*space Collective (GM.P., M.L.; TRANS*PHORIA) Weitere Informationen: https://gender.univie.ac.at/l/filmscreening -- Flora Löffelmann, MA MA University assistant & doctoral candidate Department of Philosophy at University of Vienna Pronouns: they/them (for more info see: https://www.mypronouns.org/what-and-why/) Happy about a gender neutral "hello"!

Zoom Workshop: Affective and Mnemonic Injustice (January 30th and 31st, 2024)

by Sabine Koch

Zoom Workshop: Affective and Mnemonic Injustice (January 30th and 31st, 2024) In recent years, there’s been a growing interest in identifying the different ways in which a person or a group of persons can be a victim of injustice, as well as the psychological/subjective effects that the various types of injustice can have on people’s status as epistemic, affective and mnemonic agents, among others. Following this trend, the purpose of this workshop will be to investigate two distinctive types of injustice as well as their possible conceptual and empirical links: affective and mnemonic injustice. The first seeks to capture kinds of injustices committed against individuals specifically in their capacities as affective agents, for example, by systematically provoking distressing experiences such as fear, sadness or despair, by manipulating others’ emotions in a way that might prove detrimental to their well-being, or by denying others opportunities to express and regulate their emotional responses. The latter seeks to capture how stereotypes can shape what we remember, so that accounts of fairness and social justice have to be taken into consideration in debates about different kinds of mnemonic capacities. These two kinds of injustices have obvious interconnections, as can be seen, for example, in the way that provoking a traumatic experience upon another person is a kind of injustice that has both an affective and a mnemonic component. We hope that the talks in this workshop, and the discussion that will follow them, will bring out these (and other) philosophical interconnections. As a result, we hope to show that the philosophy of memory and the philosophy of emotion are deeply political subject matters, something that is often overlooked within these disciplines. Far from being a marginal topic, the politics of memory and affectivity is at the heart of questions as to how memory and affective systems function, their purpose, and their role within our social spheres more broadly. We would thus like to invite everyone to join us in discussing and making these topics more visible in the philosophical community. Programme: January 30th 2024 2:30 PM (CET): Marina Trakas (Conicet): "Mnemonic Humility: An Antidote to Mnemonic Injustice?" 3:3O PM (CET): Francisco Gallegos (Wake Forest): "Authenticity, Zozobra and Affective Injustice" January 31st 2024 2:30 PM (CET): Joel Krueger (Exeter): "An Ecological Approach to Affective Injustice" 3:30 PM (CET): Katherine Puddifoot (Durham): "Mnemonic Injustice and the Social Stance on Memory" Registration (mandatory): <http://goog_82397027> https://forms.gle/k6EoLEjii7hd9RmN7 Abstracts: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eP9bQfSmj9BWnml58N7Zv-n0TM9yN72p/view?usp=… PhilEvents: https://philevents.org/event/show/117621 Organisers: Nathália de Ávila (Universität Wien - IVC Fellow) Felipe Carvalho (UFLA) Em Walsh (Johns Hopkins) Questions: Please, write to nferrei1(a)smail.uni-koeln.de<mailto:nferrei1@smail.uni-koeln.de>

Einladung zur Graduiertenkonferenz: "Den Finger in die Wunde legen - Kritische Phänomenologien der Gewalt" am 11./12. Januar

by Charlotte Bomert

Liebe Kolleg:innen, gerne möchten wir Sie auf die Graduiertenkonferenz "DEN FINGER IN DIE WUNDE LEGEN - Kritische Phänomenologien der Gewalt", die am 11./12. Januar an unserem Institut stattfinden wird, aufmerksam machen. Die Konferenz setzt es sich zur Aufgabe, zum einen die aktuell v. a. im angloamerikanischen Raum sich intensivierende Debatte um die sog. "critical phenomenology" mit Blick auf Phänomene der Gewalt zu erproben. Darüber hinaus soll sie einen Ort des Austausches für junge phänomenologische (Gewalt)Forschung am Institut für Philosophie in Wien eröffnen. Anhand konkreter Phänomenanalysen soll gezeigt werden, wie sich eine für soziale, politische und globale Problemlagen sensibilisierende Phänomenologie mit deskriptiven, genealogischen und kritischen Theorieelemente konstruktiv verbinden lässt und so neue Einsichten für die Gewaltforschung zu eröffnen vermag. Neben den Beiträgen von fortgeschrittenen Master- und Doktoratsstudierenden unseres Instituts, die zu Phänomenen der Gewalt forschen, freuen wir uns zudem auf folgende drei Keynotes: (1) Claudia Brunner, Politikwissenschaftlerin und assoz. Professorin am Zentrum für Friedensforschung und Friedensbildung, Institut für Erziehungswissenschaft und Bildungsforschung der Universität Klagenfurt mit dem Vortrag "Strukturell, symbolisch, normativ - und epistemisch: Gewalt weiter denken in der kolonialen Moderne" (2) Pascal Delhom, Senior Lecturer am Philosophischen Seminar der Europa-Universität Flensburg, mit dem Vortrag "Erlittene Gewalt. Die Frage des Zugangs zu den Phänomenen" (3) Gerald Posselt, Senior Lecturer an unserem Institut, mit dem Vortrag: "Zeichensprache der Verletzungen: Schnittstellen sprachlicher und körperlicher Gewalt" Ausführlichere Abstracts zu den Keynotes, den anderen Vorträgen, den genauen Zeitablauf und Hintergrundlektüren zu den Keynotes finden Sie hier: https://phaenomenologie.univie.ac.at/forschung/graduiertenkonferenz-den-fin… Mit den besten Grüßen und Wünschen für das neue Jahr, Charlotte Bomert, Georg Harfensteller & Michael Staudigl
