\nPresented by the Philosophy Department and Anthropology Department at The New School for Social Research.
\nSince Plato\, western philosophy ha s been set down a path paved by a disavowal of the sensuous\, bracketed ma terial bodies\, and delimited aesthetic conceptions\, leaving human beings and their built environments separated from the natural world. Such exclu sions have left philosophy ill-equipped to deal with the various environme ntal crises we currently face\, as economic rationality and utilitarian lo gic further de-animate the world and sharpen the human/nature distinction. Even the concept “environment” often\, and ironically\, brings with it im plicit anthropocentric assumptions\, conceptualizing\, and thereby separat ing\, the human as independent from the surrounding world and reinforcing the human/nature divide. As a result\, our (mis)understandings of “nature” and “environment” may make us insensitive to and perpetuate\, rather than address\, climate change and other environmental catastrophes. To avoid a mbiguities and clarify our understanding\, we must ask: what role does Nat ure play within our theories and practices concerning so-called Environmen tal Philosophy? Furthermore\, what spaces\, practices\, and questions are made possible when we broaden our understanding of “environment” to includ e a more robust conceptualization of the natural world and how the human b eing ought to be contextualized within it?
\nThis conference asks ho w we might reorient the language and practices of philosophy in a way that can enable us to adequately respond to ongoing environmental crises. As a starting point\, we propose a need to reimagine the concepts “human\,” “n ature\,” and “environment\,” as well as the reciprocal relations that cons titute them. To recognize humans as natural organisms\, we must reevaluate the sensuous\, the material\, and the aesthetic and the roles they play i n our attempts to construct\, understand\, and preserve our environment(s) . How should we make sense of our practices and our relations to those wit h whom we share our surroundings? How can we re-situate the human with/in the environment? Do we have the right tools to guide these investigations? How might philosophy look beyond itself—to literature\, architecture\, mu sic\, film\, design—to better bring Environment\, and thus the world\, int o view? In the spirit of this\, we invite paper as well as project submiss ions from current graduate students in any discipline.

\nFrom this forum for engaged scholarship\ , a succession of academic conferences have sprung as a space for conversa tion and constructive debate\, including last year’s Political Concepts Gr aduate Conference. Organized by students of the Departments of Anthropolog y\, Philosophy\, and Politics at the New School for Social Research\, Poli tical Concepts invites graduate students from all fields of study to parti cipate in our upcoming graduate student conference in Spring 2023. Held at NSSR over March 24-5\, the conference will serve as a workshop of ideas o n the multiplicity of powers\, structures\, problems\, and orientations th at shape our collective life.
\nBecause Political Concepts does not predetermine what does or does not count as political\, the conference wel comes essays that fashion new political concepts or demonstrate how concep ts deserve to be taken as politically significant. Papers should be dedica ted to a single political concept\, like an encyclopedia entry\, but the a nalysis of the concept does not have to abide to traditional approaches. S ome of the concepts contended with in last year’s vibrant conference inclu ded abolition\, survival\, statistics\, solitude\, resentment\, statistics \, dependence\, imaginary\, and solidarity. Other examples can be found in the published papers on thePolitical Concepts website.
\nThe confer ence will take the format of a series of panels across two days. Panels wi ll contain two presenters whose papers are thematically and theoretically related — creating a space for critical engagement between the authors\, a s well as with other attendees. Each presenter will have 25 minutes to pre sent their paper\, along with 40 minutes for discussion at the end. This y ear\, there will be a faculty roundtable with NSSR professors serving on t he Political Concepts editorial board\, namely\, Ann Laura Stoler\, Jay M. Bernstein\, and Andreas Kalyvas.
\nAbstracts should be no longer th an 750 words in a pdf format\, and prepared for blind review\, so please e nsure that your abstract is free from any identifying personal details. Ab stracts must be submitted through this google form by December 15\, 2022 E ST. Any inquiries can be sent to politicalconceptsNSSR@gmail.com.
\nApplicants must be advanced graduate students and their concept must be a central part of a longer-term project in order to be accepted. Results wil l be informed in January.

\nThis year’s topic is Textures of Change: Social Imaginaries\, Narratives\, and the Poss ibility of Politics.
\nKeynote Speakers:
\nMaría Pía Lara (Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana)
\nFanny Söderbäck (Södertörn University)
\nEva Von R edecker (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin)
\nIt has become co mmon for political theorists and philosophers to insist on the necessity o f new imaginaries and narratives. Crises of authority\, financial meltdown s\, and environmental disasters compel us to look for alternative framewor ks and practices. While the urgency of this claim is undeniable\, the conc eptual ground for the creation of new imaginaries and narratives is still unclear. How do we define imaginaries and narratives in relation to our po litical and social life? How can they become normative and generate concep tual and practical shifts? And who is in a position to shape\, direct\, an d take ownership of these emergent conceptions?
\nThis conference fo cuses on the current debate on political imaginaries and narratives to inv estigate some of these questions. As a starting point\, we propose to chal lenge standard Marxist or epistemological approaches to the topic that eit her interpret imaginaries and narratives as ideological projections (a pro duct of false consciousness) or merely as individual\, cognitive faculties . Rather\, we suggest thinking about imaginaries and narratives as larger sensuous and embodied practices that re-orient material structures of domi nation and allow for a reflective rearticulation of collective demands. In particular\, we set out to clarify: the meaning of “imaginaries” and/or “ narratives” as forms of sense-making\; their ability to shift existing dis courses and power relations\; the way in which they foster different ways of feeling\, seeing\, acting-in\, and experiencing the world in a time of crisis\; the way in which they are embedded in artistic and literary pract ices\; and the way in which they address—or fail to address—marginalized s ubjects.
\nWe invite papers that focus on the concepts of “social im aginary” and “narrative\,” as well as on the connection between the two\, and on their political and ethical implications. It is our conviction that a critical understanding of these concepts can only emerge from attending to how they are practically embodied and situated in our practices. In th is spirit\, we welcome\, in addition to papers aimed at conceptual clarifi cation\, papers that provide specific accounts of alternative forms of pra xis\, including (but not limited to) leftist\, feminist\, anti-racist\, de colonial\, abolitionist\, indigenous\, environmentalist\, and utopian imag inaries and narratives.
\nWe are accepting submissions of up to
Please contact socialimaginarynarrative@gmail.com with any queries or subm issions.

\nHow does objectivity shape power\, and how does power shape objectivity?
\nWelcome to “Unmasking Object ivity: A Critical Examination of the Nexus between Universal Truth Claims and Emergent Power Structures\,” a conference that plunges into the intric ate relationship between knowledge and power. In this conference\, we will uncover how epistemological standpoints intersect with systems of coercio n\, marginalization\, and oppression. Our topic extends to alternative vis ions of knowledge\, truth\, and learning\, offering the potential for shar ed beliefs while addressing the adverse impacts of entrenched power struct ures.
\nHow have claims to absolute\, objective\, or scientific trut h driven oppression through ideologies like religious absolutism\, colonia lism\, technocracy\, and scientific sexism and racism? Contemporary debate s further emphasize the significance of this intersection.
\nOur dis course will also scrutinize epistemic injustice\, examining whether univer salist epistemologies privilege specific knowledge systems while silencing valid alternatives. We aim to shed light on social and political issues o verlooked by dominant knowledge frameworks through inclusive dialogues. Th is conference fosters critical exploration and inclusive discourse\, drawi ng on interdisciplinary studies in philosophy\, sociology\, and political theory.
\nTogether\, we will assess the ethical implications of our epistemological practices and explore pathways to creating more equitable systems of knowledge and social learning. Join us at “Unmasking Objectivit y” as we navigate the intricate web of knowledge and power\, aiming for a just and inclusive future where the notion of objectivity is both scrutini zed and harnessed for social transformation.

\nBook Panel with:
\nChiara Bottici (NSSR a nd Lang College)\, Judith Butler (UC Berkeley and NSSR) and Romy Opperman (NSSR a nd Lang College).
\nAbstract:
\nHow can we b e sure the oppressed do not become oppressors in their turn? How can we en visage a feminism that doesn’t turn into yet another tool for oppression? By arguing that there is no single arche explaining the oppression of wome n and LGBTQI+ people\, Chiara Bottici proposes a radical anarchafeminist p hilosophy inspired by two major claims: that there is something specific t o the oppression of ‘the second sexes’\, and that\, in order to fight that \, we need to untangle all other forms of oppression and the anthropocentr ism they inhabit. On the basis of a Spinozist philosophy of transindividua lity\, Anarchafeminism calls for a decolonial and deimperial attitude and for a renewed awareness of the somatic communism connecting all different life forms on the planet. In this revolutionary vision\, feminism does not mean the liberation of the lucky few\, but liberation of the planet from both capitalist exploitation and an anthropocentric politics of domination . Either the entire planet\, or none of us will be free.

\nAs a specific form of rig hts insecurity the revocability of reproductive rights manifests contradic tory understandings (privative and productive) of the political status of pregnancy.
\nI ask how and why we should understand reproductive rig hts as revocable\, giving a broad meaning to the term “revocability\,” and suggesting a conjoined vocabulary that includes conditionality\, exceptio nality\, and disqualifying qualification.
\nI ask: what kind of gram mar might help us understand more specifically how the concurrent action o f conflicting combinations of power (such as sovereignty\, discipline\, se curity\, necropower\, and neoliberal expectation) coordinate together in r elation to reproductive rights-bearing\, and how heterogeneous combination s of power also produce a mutual disruptiveness\, even auto-critique\, man ifesting as conflictual embodiment.

Abstract:
\nIt is a common assumption that ethics must serve as the cornerstone of politics. Yet abs tract moral arguments have always been used for justifying all kinds of at rocities\; ethical sensitivity and compassion have been expressed towards particular kinds of victims\, while totally ignoring others.
\nThe l iberal West\, in particular\, continually manifests such blindness. It is horrified by non-Western oppressive methods\, but turns a blind eye to the ir Western equivalents.
\nThe gratification of holding the moral hig h ground consistently serves as a political instrument in the hands of tho se seeking to shore up the existing order.
\nIn The Poverty of Ethic s\, philosopher and activist Anat Matar argues for the conceptual primacy of political discourse over ethics and claims that only the political forc e which stands for equality\, justice and democracy – the Left – can provi de the coordinates for an ethical life under conditions of global injustic e.
\nAppealing to philosophical ideas on the essence of language\, M atar shows how the ethos of the Left\, as it has evolved over years\, unde rlies and gradually forms the basis for ethics.
\nStruggles against slavery\, racism\, colonization and militarization\, protests against expl oitation and the capitalist order\, the feminist movement\, global demands for climate action – all these are primarily motivated by a deep understa nding of Left heritage rather than by abstract ethical requirements or by airy sensitivities. They\, in turn\, shape and reshape our notion of moral it

He imagined an institute “in which philosoph ers\, sociologists\, economists\, historians\, and psychologists are broug ht together in permanent collaboration” (Horkheimer 1993\, 9). The institu te would not work with a single theory but would let data lead to new hypo theses (Horkheimer 1993\, 10). But the work of Horkheimer and colleagues r arely lived up to the 1931 vision of an interdisciplinary\, empirically gr ounded approach to culture. To understand why\, my paper will juxtapose Ho rkheimer’s and Adorno’s history of humanity\, as it is set out in Dialecti c of Enlightenment\, with current research on the development of early hum an cultures by Richard Wrangham\, Sarah Blaffer Hardy\, Kim Sterelny\, Jos eph Henrich and Cecilia Heyes. The comparison with recent research in anth ropology\, sociology\, philosophy\, and cognitive science reveals some of the deep conceptual commitments that limit Horkheimer’s and Adorno’s focus on instrumental reason and conceptual violence. By contrast\, current app roaches jointly suggest that human subjectivity is scaffolded and embedded \; that cooperation is the necessary default for cultural transmission\; t hat learning occurs in context through imitation\; and that customs and in stitutions develop contingently and by accident through processes of coope ration and collaboration. These new insights invite a radical re-thinking of the phenomena Horkheimer and Adorno grouped together as ‘mimesis.’ The resulting picture of environmentally embedded process of cultural evolutio n is a first step towards revitalizing the interdisciplinary potential of the early Frankfurt School\, and suggesting new\, practical\, productive\, and sustainable routes such critique can take in the 21st century.

\nThroughout the 21st century \, philosophers of language have increasingly concerned themselves with th e hateful\, coercive\, dehumanizing\, and deadly. In particular\, ‘non-ide al’ philosophers of language question whether received conceptual toolkits from philosophy of language manage to make contact with our non-ideal wor ld at all. This paper takes up that methodological interest from a Wittgen steinian perspective. Drawing on critical interventions by Nancy Bauer\, A vner Baz\, Alice Crary\, Cora Diamond\, and Toril Moi\, I argue that non-i deal philosophers of language neutralize their ideology-critical bite when they presume an authoritative force for their words by virtue of a normat ively neutral conception of reason. This neutralization is driven and sust ained by an idle picture of language that isolates our words from the acti vities into which they are woven. To make discursive phenomena available i n their political import\, we philosophers of language must acknowledge ou r own non-neutral involvement in the very discursive practices we’re theor izing – and this will require us to relinquish the entitlement to impose a uthoritative requirements on language through theories of meaning.
\nTo illustrate the need for normatively non-neutral methods in philosophic
al practice\, I focus on cases where philosophers’ curious gaze treats tra
ns people
\nas fascinating objects of knowledge\, as opposed to ackno
wledging us as interlocutors and recognizing the political stakes of our d
iscursive practices. What inhibits the cultivation of acknowledgement\, of
normatively resonant modes of attention\, is a picture of philosophical t
heorizing that forbids us from articulating our political solidarities thr
ough our work (and thus obfuscates what we ourselves are doing with words
when theorizing). The non-ideal philosopher’s critical concept of idealiza
tion\, seen aright in a normatively non-neutral light\, exemplifies the so
rt of theoretical resource that is mobilized by members of marginalized gr
oups to invite such modes of attention – to shape not only our epistemic r
esources\, but also our senses of what matters.

The claim is that we can see the same image differently due to switching the conceptual filters\, as it were\, through which we experience the image (e.g. Schroeder 2010\; Mulhall 2001). In th is paper I focus on a specific kind of a seeing-as experience for which Wi ttgenstein’s example of suddenly noticing the similarity between faces is the paradigm. I argue that it is possible to have no concepts involved in this experience\, and propose an understanding of what I call “the imagist ic seeing-as” as a similarity association\, of the kind that grounds poeti c means of expression\, such as metaphors. The associative nature of this imagistic seeing-as experience may also contribute to the understanding of biases – both personal (e.g. displaced offence) and social (e.g. sexism).

Since we obviously can’t watch it all together\, I enc ourage everyone to watch the movie little by little a month or a few weeks before we meet. The movie is great and you won’t regret it!

These colle ctives put forward a materialistic\, feminist\, and performative mode of p olitics. Publicly lamenting their losses and literally digging bodies out of Mexican land\, these women perform and recover the citizenship that the Mexican state has de facto disavowed of them. I propose conceptualizing t hem as “bad victims” since their taking action does not take away their pa in\; rather\, the public exposure of their lament actually turns them into political agents.

Based on a variety of discoveries and evolutions that are constitutive of modernity (globaliz ation\, Protestantism\, the invention of the telescope)\, modern man has a dopted an Archimedean\, external position vis-à-vis the world. According to Arendt\, this ‘view from without’ has gradually jeopardized the experie nce of a shared world\, endangering the foundation of all meaning-giving a ctivities.
\nMy talk can be considered as a reply to Arendt’s pessim istic account of modern ‘world-alienation’. It builds on the idea that som e of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century (Ernst Jünger \, Georg Lukács\, Ernst Bloch\, Theodor Adorno\, Walter Benjamin\, Aby Wa rburg\, Sigmund Freud) did not equate the loss of a shared world with the loss of meaning. Rather\, the conceptual framework of a substantial part o f early twentieth century German philosophy centers on the exploration of a productive opposition\, negation or fragmentation of the world. From the perspective of these thinkers\, the world’s ‘durability’ (Arendt) is not simply a source of shared meaning since it can be experienced as the mark of its indifference to change and renewal.
