\nTitle “I feel it in my fingers\, I feel it in my t
oes: Imaginative Meditation and Experience of Love in Medieval Contemplati
ve Philosophy”
\n4:10-6:00 PM
\n716 Philosophy Hall
Poets and singers in a number of medieval vernacul ar languages reached non-native audiences and inspired speakers of other l anguages to compose in theirs\; and many imagined their compositions enjoy ing a universality similar to that of cosmopolitan languages like Latin an d Arabic. An interesting rationalization of these aspirations can be disce rned in a short verse narrative of a well-known episode in the youth of Al exander the Great\, conqueror of India\, together with his tutor\, the phi losopher Aristotle. Not only does it involve Greeks and Indians singing Fr ench songs and cosplaying French lovers\, but the philosopher is induced t o pretend to be a horse and then justifies his behavior as “natural\,” wit h far-reaching implications which this talk will explore.
\nSarah Kay is Professor Emerita in the Department of Fre nch Literature\, Thought and Culture at New York University and Life Fello w at Girton College\, University of Cambridge. In Spring 2023\, she is Dis tinguished Visiting Scholar in the Columbia Society of Senior Scholars.
\nThi s talk is presented by the Columbia Maison Française\, Society of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities\, The Society of Senior Scholars\, th e Department of Music\, and Medieval and Renaissance Studies.

What we require to live can also imperil our lives. How do we think from\, and about\, this common bind?

Exposing and opposing forms of injustice t hat deny the essential interrelationship of living creatures\, Butler argu es for a radical social equality and advocates modes of resistance that se ek to establish new conditions of livability and a new sense of a shared w orld.

When does anxiety cease to functi on as an effective and reasonable signal preventing imminent threats\, and when does it become an invasive projection of our own ghosts? My talk is divided into three sections. First\, I will emphasize the anthropological relevance of anxiety: in various theoretical frameworks\, the difference b etween free-floating anxiety and fear directed at a specific danger even s erves as a criterion for distinguishing human beings from animals. Second\ , I will conduct a phenomenological analysis of anxiety focusing in partic ular on the altered relationship between perception and imagination. Third \, I will address a specific form of anxiety which is particularly dominan t in the context of our post-disciplinary societies: the feeling of being left behind. My talk presents a philosophical inquiry into the affective p henomenon that can both protect us from danger and be a danger in itself.< /p>\n

And what does this mean for the spaces we design? We explore these questions by bringing together speakers from Architecture\, Neuroscience\, and Virtual Reality\, with two specifi c aims: First\, we explore what Architecture and Virtual Reality can learn from each other\, as two distinct approaches to “spatial design”. Whilst spatial experience has long been a central question of Architecture\, Virt ual Reality is only beginning to grapple with these questions\, as technol ogy transitions from 2D screens to 3D spatial interfaces. Second\, we expl ore the nature of spatial experience itself\, with two approaches to under standing the human mind. Whilst contemporary Architecture is influenced by Philosophy (specifically the “Phenomenological” tradition)\, the tools of Neuroscience are increasingly being applied to questions of Architecture as well. Through this multidisciplinary exchange we hope to deepen our und erstanding of spatial experience\, and how it informs the physical and vir tual spaces we design.

Her research also explores the reciprocal relationship between perception and aesthetics. She approaches these issues largely through a historical lens\, as they are taken up by Kant and developed in Post-Kantian traditio ns in the 19th and 20th centuries\, especially Phenomenology and Neo-Kanti anism.

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).

These questions are rarely asked when it comes to the often-diagnosed “structura l transformation” (Habermas) of the public sphere. Yet people have a wide variety of “public experiences” every day: from the simple experience of l eaving the house and moving on the street to highly networked and technolo gically mediated public communication and concerted action. In the project I would like to present in its outlines\, I try to shed light on the qual ity and structure of such “public experiences” using a phenomenological ap proach. In this way\, I want to reclaim public space as an experiential sp ace and argue that experiences matter for the constitution of different ki nds of public spheres and public spaces.
\nHow\, for example\, do ph enomena like visibility\, attention\, relevance\, reality\, trust\, or the ir opposites emerge in public contexts? And how can our individual and col lective experiences of the public retain its high democratic ideals while facing the constant threat of superficial entertainment and self-commercia lization? In contrast to theories that view the public sphere primarily as a system of information\, coordination\, or discourse\, a phenomenologica l approach aims to reveal the ways in which experiences constitute spaces of meaning. Such a disclosure of the world-building function of experience is crucial if we are to understand how people can relate to their public existence and a public world\, how they can integrate into it or fall away from it\, gain or lose trust\, and how a shared world is either built or destroyed.
