    Darian Meacham - Autonomy and Conviviality: remarks on phenomenology, work and automation

    Season 9 continues with a recording from our 2024 annual conference, Embodiment and History.   This episode features a keynote presentation from Prof. Darian Meacham   Abstract: In 1988 the French Philosopher André Gorz published Métamorphoses du travail: Critique de la raison économique. In this book, through an engagement with Critical theory, Marxism and to a lesser extent phenomenology, Gorz sets out a critique of economic rationality and puts forward a positive programme of a “politics or time” geared towards an idea of radical autonomy as productive work outside of the industrial economy. Gorz’s work has a close relation to Ivan Illich’s theory and programme of “conviviality” published some fifteen years prior in Tools for Conviviality (1973). Illich argues for a programme of convivial technology, where he defines conviviality as autonomous and creative intercourse among persons and the intercourse of persons with their environments.     In this talk, I examine the ideas of autonomy and conviviality in relation to what can be called an institutional theory of technology and the politics of time that both Gorz and Illich set out in separate ways; and  ask what autonomous time and space can be carved out  within an increasingly automated world of work?   Biography: Darian Meacham is Professor of Practical Philosophy at Maastricht University and chair of the philosophy department.   Further Information: This recording is taken from our Annual UK Conference 2024, co-organised with University of the West of England. The conference was held in Bristol on the theme of 'Embodiment and History'.

    Michela Summa - Facing the Past: Modes of Appropriating and Disappropriating History in Shaping Who We Are

    Season 9 continues with a recording from our 2024 annual conference, Embodiment and History.   This episode features a keynote presentation from Prof. Michela Summa   Abstract: Various forms of engaging with history play a crucial role in shaping personal and collective identities. Rituals, anniversaries, family celebrations, monuments, and street names are all examples of how history is embedded and integrated into the fabric of everyday actions that define these identities. Consequently, the concept of history becomes intertwined with memory practices, which involve both remembering and forgetting.   In recent years, debates surrounding the relationship between history, memory, and issues of identity have gained increased significance. This can be attributed to several factors, some of which are directly linked to concrete memory practices. One example is the ongoing critical examination of how certain cultures of remembrance, particularly those relating to influential figures, often overlook or disregard their involvement in authoritarian or colonial regimes. These approaches have drawn attention to the epistemic and social injustices that are deeply embedded in certain methods of transmitting and interpreting history. Furthermore, there has been a growing unease or uncanniness associated with memory practices that have been developed and partially institutionalized since the Second World War. This debate is particularly relevant to Germany and its concept of Erinnerungskultur, which has been evolving since the 1980s-1990s. While this approach is generally recognized as an unprecedented way of engaging with the past, there are recurring critical voices that emphasize what is being forgotten within this culture of remembrance or advocate for moving beyond it. Lastly, despite the rejection of teleological and eschatological narratives concerning the meaning of history, and despite scholarly critiques of using history to justify the present, such instrumentalizations still persist in contemporary discourse.   My contribution will not directly address the social and political issues related to these phenomena. Instead, I aim to discuss the structural elements that characterize how we confront the past and how our relationship with the past shapes who we are. How does the formation of historical identities depend on the embodiment of memory? Why is it that we can only engage with the past through critical analysis after a significant amount of time has elapsed between generations? Does remembering the past always involve elements of forgetting? What are the factors that, at a particular moment, bring forgotten aspects to the fore? In attempting to answer these questions, I will specifically explore how different approaches to confronting the past – including attitudes of owning, ignoring, and disowning history – are connected to particular attitudes towards the present and the future.   Biography: Michela Summa is a Junior Professor of Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Würzburg. She received her PhD from the University of Pavia and KU-Leuven, with a dissertation on Husserl’s phenomenology of temporal and spatial constitution. Before joining the University of Würzburg, she worked as a post-doc at the Clinic for General Psychiatry in Heidelberg from 2009 to 2015, and at the Institute for Philosophy in Würzburg from 2015 to 2018. In 2018, she also served as a guest professor for phenomenology and hermeneutics at the Institute for Philosophy in Kassel. She is the author of Spatio-temporal Intertwining: Husserl’s Transcendental Aesthetic, published in 2014 by Springer and co-editor of several volumes and special issues, including the collective volume Das Exemplarische – Orientierung für menschliches Wissen und Handeln“ (with Karl Mertens, Mentis, 2022), the special issue of the journal Human Studies on Affect, Tendency, and Drive: Perspectives on the Basic Structures of Intentionality (with Philipp Schmidt and Nicola Spano, 2024), and the Special Issue of the journal Topoi on Double Intentionality (with Martin Klein and Philipp Schmidt). She has written several articles on topics in the theory of knowledge, philosophy of mind, social philosophy, and phenomenology.   Further Information: This recording is taken from our Annual UK Conference 2024, co-organised with University of the West of England.

    Abel Franco - 'Touching Spaces with Our Body (and Life): How We Evaluate Architecture Aesthetically'

    Season 9 continues with a presentation from our 2022 annual conference, Engaged Phenomenology II: Explorations of Embodiment, Emotions, and Spatiality.   This episode features a presentation from Abel Franco   Abstract: We both perceive and evaluate aesthetically spaces with our body, in particular by (experiencing ourselves) occupying and moving in them. Unlike simply being in a space, the experience of occupying is the experience of actively filling the space with our bodily presence and mobility. Where exactly we place our body in a space, how we place it (posture, orientation), and with which motion (activity) alters our perception of that space and our aesthetic evaluation. And vice versa: our unique perception of a space also affects how we feel our body. Saying that a space is oppressive or expansive, or warm or cold, or cozy or desolate, seems to express this. Perceiving a space shows strong similarities with the experience of touch: we touch a space with our body and our body is touched by that space. This is quite different from saying that the haptic features of our physical environment (natural or built) are relevant in our perception of spaces (J. Pallasmaa, The Eyes of the Skin, 1996). All sensible features can be said to be, not just add-ons, but integral part of that perception (cf., e.g., G. Böhme., Atmospheric Architectures: The Aesthetics of Felt Spaces, 2017): the light and colors (vision), the temperature and the textures of materials (touch), the sounds that are altered by, and fill, that space (hearing), the smells that also fill it (smell/taste). Our aesthetic evaluations of spaces not only take this—i.e. our perception of a space--into account but bring into them (a) the uniquely personal meaning we perceive in the sensible features (coziness, warmth, expansiveness) and (b) the evaluation of two types of possibilities we see in the space: (b.1) possibilities to do what is significant for us and, among these, (b.2) possibilities that can be qualitatively enhanced (i.e. in their felt quality) by that space (“it feels better to read in the balcony”). We, thus, evaluate spaces aesthetically, not only by touching them with our body—or being touched by them--but also projecting on them (touching them with?) our ideal of life. Our ideal of life explains our perception of significance and meaningfulness in the (embodied) activities and ways of filling the space (occupying). Reading by the fire while it rains and reading under the sun in the park are experiences of reading altered in different ways by the very experience of occupying that particular space, in a particular way, and at this moment of our life. Our (changing) ideal of life makes our aesthetic choices deeply personal and dependent on the very present moment of our life. And, thus, an aesthetically preferable space reveals itself as the appropriate fit of activity, moment-in-our-life and (perceived) space. It is a space where, not only our body but our life fits well--or fits better.  Biography: Abel B. Franco holds a M.A. in History (1998) from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY); a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Salamanca (1999) and a Ph.D. in History and Philosophy of Science (2006) from the University of Pittsburgh (EE.UU). He has taught in different CUNY campuses, at the University of Pittsburgh and, since 2006, at California State University, Northridge (CSUN) where he is currently a Professor in the Philosophy Department. He has written, given talks and published, mainly on the History of Natural Philosophy (especially Middle Ages and 17th century), on the History of Philosophy (especially the 17th century and, in particular, Descartes), on the History and Philosophy of Mind (especially emotions), and on Aesthetics (especially the relation between emotions and art, in the Baroque and in contemporary debates on philosophy of architecture and philosophy of fiction). His most recent articles are “Our Everyday Aesthetic Evaluations of Architecture” (_British Journal of Aesthetics_, 2019) and "The Aesthetic Value of Film" (_Journal of Aesthetic Education_, forthcoming).  Further Information: This recording is taken from our Annual UK Conference 2022: Engaged Phenomenology II: Explorations of Embodiment, Emotions, and Sociality (Exeter, UK / Hybrid) with the University of Exeter.

    Michal Lipták - 'Defining Avant-garde Music: Phenomenological Interpretation of Adorno's Philosophy of Music'

    Season 9 continues with a presentation from our 2022 annual conference, Engaged Phenomenology II: Explorations of Embodiment, Emotions, and Spatiality.   This episode features a presentation from Michal Lipták   Abstract: Adorno always maintained that "new music"—his term for mostly atonal, avant-garde music—was not just yet another musical school within the history of music which would gradually settle down and develop its own idioms, but that it was unique in the history of music and that it introduces a certain rift—"an abrupt, qualitative leap"—due to which it would never settle down. He developed this understanding of avant-garde music in writings that, at the same time, combine a philosophy of music, a sociology of music, and an engaged music criticism addressing contemporary works, whereby this criticism was never value neutral. In this paper, I demonstrate that phenomenology—despite Adorno's explicit but misplaced distaste for it—is well disposed to ground this understanding; in doing so, I use notions developed in general phenomenology and in "classic" texts of phenomenological aesthetics, such as notion of Typik in Husserl, notions of schemata and historical a priori in Dufrenne, or conception of a schematic work in Ingarden. Interpreting Adorno phenomenologically allows us to confirm the profound rift between atonal avant-garde music and the rest of music that Adorno identified, and to disclose it more precisely, describing phenomenologically how such music places unnatural demands on us, while it simultaneously stimulates us. In return, phenomenology of music itself benefits from phenomenological absorption of Adorno's philosophy of music, too. Such absorption helps phenomenology to engage critically with contemporary musical works and thereby test the thesis of the profound rift on the current atonal avant-garde works; this approach also helps to develop criteria to evaluate the avant-garde works. Finally, this rift can be interpreted as a defining feature of avant-garde music, and therefore contribute to discussions about definition of avant-garde music, which are still unsettled in musicological literature.  Biography: Michal Lipták is a researcher at the Institute of Philosophy of Slovak Academy of Sciences. He defended and published his dissertation on aesthetics of Husserl and Ingarden, and his current research involves Husserlian phenomenology, phenomenology of art (and music in particular), structuralism and post-structuralism, political philosophy including critical phenomenology, Hegelianism, Marxism and post-Marxism, philosophy of new media, and philosophy of law. He regularly reviews contemporary classical music for Slovak cultural magazines. In addition to philosophy, he also studied law and works as an attorney.    Further Information: This recording is taken from our Annual UK Conference 2022: Engaged Phenomenology II: Explorations of Embodiment, Emotions, and Sociality (Exeter, UK / Hybrid) with the University of Exeter.

    Anna Petronella Foultier - 'Aesthetic spatiality and dance in Merleau-Ponty’s thought'

    Season 9 continues with a presentation from our 2022 annual conference, Engaged Phenomenology II: Explorations of Embodiment, Emotions, and Spatiality.   This episode features a presentation from Anna Petronella Foultier   Abstract: In Phenomenology of Perception, Merleau-Ponty introduces the notion of “anthropological spatiality” – various spatial levels related to the manner that we project the world, and that are not connected through geometrical space where each part is interchangeable, but rather through a more primordial, existential space where we are anchored as natural subjects. The experience of the dreamer, the schizophrenic or the person under influence from mescaline give examples of anthropological spatialities. Another such spatiality is said to be opened by “aesthetic perception” (1945, 333) – such as that of painting or of dance – and I will accordingly term it aesthetic spatiality. The spatiality of dance is “without goals or directions … the subject and its world are no longer opposed” (1945, 333), in a similar way that a painting is not “at the same place” as the canvas or the cracks on the wall of the cave. Now, the spatiality of a hallucinating or schizophrenic person seems available only to the subject doing the projection, while an aesthetic spatiality must be intersubjectively available: art only makes sense a cultural and shareable phenomenon. How, then, does the dancer, for example, constitute a form of spatiality that is valid for others? To resolve this problem, I will first appeal to Merleau-Ponty’s idea that the body is “the first cultural object” (1945, 401) and thus already in itself intersubjectively given with cultural meanings. Our body has, moreover, an “emblematic value”, so that our bodily positions, emotions and desires have a symbolic relation to one another (1945, 329). Finally, the characterisation of the spatiality of dance will be amended, and described, not as being “without goals or directions”, but with often unpredictable direction and as its own goal: one of the tasks of dance is to understand the very dynamics of bodily movement itself.     Biography: Anna Petronella Foultier is a Senior Lecturer in philosophy at Umeå University. Her present research is focused on the dancer’s experience and aesthetic know-how. She has published in journals such as Hypatia, JSBP, Journal of Aesthetics and Phenomenology, Chiasmi international and Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences, and coedited the anthology Material of Movement and Thought: Reflections on the Dancer’s Practice and Corporeality, with Cecilia Roos (2013). Foultier also works as a translator of philosophy and fiction, and has translated Beauvoir, Derrida, Foucault, Kristeva, Kundera, Merleau-Ponty, Nora and many others into Swedish.    Further Information: This recording is taken from our Annual UK Conference 2022: Engaged Phenomenology II: Explorations of Embodiment, Emotions, and Sociality (Exeter, UK / Hybrid) with the University of Exeter.

    Jodie Russell - 'Hermeneutics of illness: how the experience of mental disorder is shaped by self-interpretation'

    Season 9 continues with a presentation from our 2022 annual conference, Engaged Phenomenology II: Explorations of Embodiment, Emotions, and Spatiality.   This episode features a presentation from Jodie Russell   Abstract: In this talk, I will explore the implications that our interpretive capacities have for experiences of mental disorder. The traditional view, as I call it, describes mental disorder as a dysfunction of the individual, whether that be in the brain, or in body-world interactions (de Haan 2020). By looking at the interaction between our folk-psychological tools for social understanding and the self, we see that mental disorders have an importantly intrapersonal (as well as interpersonal) dimension which should be brought forth front and centre. My thesis develops from an understanding of what it means for human beings to be ‘self-interpreting animals’ (Taylor 1985), drawn from the mind-shaping literature (Andrews 2015a, 2015b; McGreer 2007, 2015; Mameli 2001; Zawidzki 2008, 2016). Under this view, “What determines one’s being human is the image one adopts.” (Heschel 1965, p.8). Our folk-psychological concepts are inherently normative under the mind-shaping view and when applied to the self, we shape our behaviour in norm-conforming ways so we can be understandable to others. I argue that, while the ‘self-understanding as self-shaping’ thesis from Zawidzki (2016) and Andrews (2015b) is compelling as it explains the consistency and inconsistency of the self, the mechanisms at play create significant problems for individuals with mental disorders. Namely, it entails that these individuals may be overburdened to be understandable to others and themselves, feeling compelled to make sense of the inconsistent and incoherent self-experiences. This is troubling when individuals lack folk-psychological tools to make sense of experiences such as in cases of hermeneutical injustice (Ritunnano, 2022). This suggest to me new tactics in alleviating the suffering of individuals with distressing pathological experiences.  Biography: I’m a 3rd year, SGSAH-funded philosophy PhD student interested in the intersection of mind and medicine. My research began with a deep dissatisfaction to our current approach and concepts of mental disorder and so I develop my project with the intention of developing a concept of mental disorder that both better captures the experiences of individuals and does better work for us politically and socially by reducing stigma and allowing people more agency in how they treated and understood. As such, I explore and am interested in all aspects of phenomenology of illness, from embodiment to agency, language and emotions.    Further Information: This recording is taken from our Annual UK Conference 2022: Engaged Phenomenology II: Explorations of Embodiment, Emotions, and Sociality (Exeter, UK / Hybrid) with the University of Exeter.

    Andrew Turk - 'Transdisciplinary Landscape Language Research with Engaged Phenomenology as Meta-Paradigm'

    Season 9 continues with a presentation from our 2022 annual conference, Engaged Phenomenology II: Explorations of Embodiment, Emotions, and Spatiality.   This episode features a presentation from Andrew Turk   Abstract: This presentation discusses more than twenty years of transdisciplinary research with geographers, linguists, philosophers and collaborators from other disciplines.  This research into landscape language (ethnophysiography) utilised applied and critical phenomenological methods to investigate practical, embodied, affective and engaged modes of dwelling which have continued for tens of thousands of years.  This included the authors (second) PhD investigation and dissertation: Understanding Modes of Dwelling: A Transdisciplinary Approach to Phenomenology of Landscape (Murdoch University, Western Australia).  A transdisciplinary approach, using engaged phenomenology as the over-arching meta-paradigm, was operationalised via a detailed case study and data analysis methodology, including phenomenography and other hermeneutic methods.  Such collaborative research with indigenous peoples requires comprehensive ethical considerations, negotiations and protocols, involving appropriate engagement with both female and male participants.  The research produced an explanatory model of factors relevant to differences in relationships with landscape, as place, (Ethnophysiography Descriptive Model) and identified language ontologies represented in landscape terms and toponyms (placenames).  Case studies with Australian Indigenous language communities investigated their embodied relationships with landscape, as ‘taskscape’. Some language group members continue traditional practices; ceremonies at sacred sites, hunting, gathering and caring for ‘country’.  The research recognised the central importance of their social/cultural/spiritual holistic system called (T)Jukurrpa in the central and western desert areas and other names in different languages (e.g. Bidarra Law in Yindjibarndi).  This integrates social organisation, ethics and spirituality, intimately linking each specific language group to their ‘country’.  It is inadequately termed ‘The Dreaming’ in English.  This collaborative investigation facilitated interpretation of relationships with landscape in terms of commensurability with Heideggerian concepts of ‘care’, ‘authenticity’ and ‘topology’, while addressing ‘Eurocentrism’.  Two case studies produced a Pictorial Dictionary of Landscape Terms for Yindjibarndi and for Manyjilyjarra Aboriginal languages.  These dictionaries assist in language preservation, community cohesion and practical caring for ‘country’ by indigenous ranger teams.   Biography: Andrew Turk has degrees in Surveying, Applied Science (Cartography), Arts (Psychology/Philosophy), PhD [1992 - Melbourne University] and second PhD [2020 - Murdoch University].  In the 1970s and 1980s he worked for the Australian Government producing topographic maps, involving surveying fieldwork in remote areas (including Antarctica) and development of digital-mapping and GIS.   In 1983 he commenced research/teaching at Melbourne University.  From 1993 Andrew taught human factors aspects of Information Systems at Murdoch University and researched Native Title, community development and cultural information with Aboriginal communities. Since 2000 he has conducted transdisciplinary research into cultural/linguistic aspects of landscape (ethnophysiography) using phenomenology methods.    Further Information: This recording is taken from our Annual UK Conference 2022: Engaged Phenomenology II: Explorations of Embodiment, Emotions, and Sociality (Exeter, UK / Hybrid) with the University of Exeter.

    Janko Nešić - 'Peculiar landscape (of affordances) architects: Situating the autistic individual'

    Season 9 continues with a presentation from our 2022 annual conference, Engaged Phenomenology II: Explorations of Embodiment, Emotions, and Spatiality.   This episode features a presentation from Janko Nešić   Abstract: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a psychopathological condition characterized by persistent deficits in social interaction, social communication and restricted, repetitive patterns of behaviour and interests (APA 2013). To build an integrative, ecological-enactive account of autism, I propose we should endorse the skilled intentionality framework (SIF; Rietveld, Denys, & van Westen 2018). SIF connects a number of disciplines - ecological psychology (landscape of affordances), phenomenology (selective openness to and relevance of affordances, optimal grip), emotion psychology (states of action-readiness), and embodied neurodynamics (self-organizing affordance-related states of action-readiness). In SIF, embodied cognition is understood as skilled engagement with affordances (possibilities for action) in sociomaterial environment of the ecological niche by which an individual tends toward the optimal grip. An important part of SIF is an ecological-enactive interpretation of the free energy principle and predictive processing (Bruineberg and Rietveld 2014). Predictive processing accounts point out that in ASD too much precision is assigned to prediction errors (Van de Cruys et al. 2014; Constant et al. 2020; Miller et al. 2022).  Autistics suffer from suboptimal generative models that do not reach high levels of abstraction and generality (they have “overfitted” models). I will show that in SIF`s terms, autistic patterns of action-readiness pick out very specific solicitations in the environment and achieve optimal grip only in well-known situations and specifically constructed niches. They make interventions in the environment with reliable cue-effect relations. Autistic individuals lack the openness (pathological embodiment) needed to be responsive to the relevant affordances, pilling up habits and skills that are rigidly applied without adjustment to the changing environment. I argue that autistic persons favour social environments that increase predictability through ritual behaviour and routines (XXX et al. 2022) and design monotonous landscapes of affordances.   Biography: I am a junior postdoctoral researcher on The Sciences of the Origin Project (University of Oxford project ‘New Horizons for Science and Religion in Central and Eastern Europe’ and John Templeton Foundation) at the Institute for Philosophy (Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade). My research is located at the intersection of Philosophy of Mind, Phenomenology, and Philosophy of Psychiatry. I focus on studying pathologies of subjectivity and intersubjectivity in autism spectrum disorder and building an integrative approach to autistic disturbances that combines phenomenological, enactivist, ecological and neuroscientific (predictive processing /free energy principle) perspectives.    Further Information: This recording is taken from our Annual UK Conference 2022: Engaged Phenomenology II: Explorations of Embodiment, Emotions, and Sociality (Exeter, UK / Hybrid) with the University of Exeter.
