DESCRIPTION:A conference hosted by the Motherhood and Technology Working Gr
oup at the Center for the Study of Social Difference on the theme of “Conc
eption and Its Discontents.”\nMedical technologies have radically transfor
med the biological and social experience of motherhood. Advances in genomi
c and reproductive care\, the circulation of novel kinship structures\, th
e entrenchment of existing global networks of power and privilege\, and th
e politics of contested bodily sites mark this emerging constellation.\nTe
chnological advancements have in particular impacted not just the understa
nding of conception\, but the very process by which a human embryo is crea
ted\, implanted\, and matured. Egg freezing\, embryo storage\, IVF\, and s
urrogacy afford women new freedoms in choosing when and how to become moth
ers\, while also raising troubling questions about the pressures of capita
lism and the extension of worklife\, as well as the global inequalities pr
esent in the experience of motherhood. In addition\, technologies have ari
sen allowing for unprecedented control over not just who becomes a mother\
, but what kind of embryo is allowed to be implanted and to grow. Technolo
gies such as CRISPR and NIPT have re-introduced the question of eugenics\,
radically shifting the very epistemology of motherhood and what it means
to be “expecting.” And contemporary abortion debates draw on technology in
order to make arguments both for and against access\, with imaging techno
logies being instrumentalized in the building of a sympathetic case for th
e unborn\, and the very notion of a “heartbeat bill” reliant on the misrea
ding of technologies for measuring fetal activity.\nWhile these problems a
re urgent today\, questions of conception and technology are by no means r
ecent developments. The 18th century saw a flourishing of philosophical an
d scientific theories regarding the start of human life and its formation
within the womb. Such theories relied on modern technologies\, such as aut
opsy\, to atomize and visualize the body. In the 19th and 20th centuries\,
eugenic medical science produced theories of reproductive difference betw
een differing racial and social groups\, leading to forced sterilization l
aws in both the US and in Germany. This long history of racializing the rh
etoric of fertility and motherhood continues to influence political debate
s on immigration and demographic changes in the present.\nFull conference
details and schedule to come. \nPlease email disability@columbia.edu to re

edical technologies have radically transformed the biological and social e
xperience of motherhood. Advances in genomic and reproductive care\, the c
irculation of novel kinship structures\, the entrenchment of existing glob
al networks of power and privilege\, and the politics of contested bodily
sites mark this emerging constellation.
\nTechnological advancements
have in particular impacted not just the understanding of conception\, bu
t the very process by which a human embryo is created\, implanted\, and ma
tured. Egg freezing\, embryo storage\, IVF\, and surrogacy afford women ne
w freedoms in choosing when and how to become mothers\, while also raising
troubling questions about the pressures of capitalism and the extension o
f worklife\, as well as the global inequalities present in the experience
of motherhood. In addition\, technologies have arisen allowing for unprece
dented control over not just who becomes a mother\, but what kind of embry
o is allowed to be implanted and to grow. Technologies such as CRISPR and
NIPT have re-introduced the question of eugenics\, radically shifting the
very epistemology of motherhood and what it means to be “expecting.” And c
ontemporary abortion debates draw on technology in order to make arguments
both for and against access\, with imaging technologies being instrumenta
lized in the building of a sympathetic case for the unborn\, and the very
notion of a “heartbeat bill” reliant on the misreading of technologies for
measuring fetal activity.
\nWhile these problems are urgent today\,
questions of conception and technology are by no means recent development
s. The 18th century saw a flourishing of philosophical and scientific theo
ries regarding the start of human life and its formation within the womb.
Such theories relied on modern technologies\, such as autopsy\, to atomize
and visualize the body. In the 19th and 20th centuries\, eugenic medical
science produced theories of reproductive difference between differing rac
ial and social groups\, leading to forced sterilization laws in both the U

ty and motherhood continues to influence political debates on immigration
and demographic changes in the present.

aws a contrast between Hegel and MacIntyre\, treating both as post-Kantian
perfectionists. The claim is that while Hegel treats the good life as som
ething found\, and to be implemented in the rational state\, MacIntyre tre
ats it as something to be sought. This difference\, it is argued\, is refl
ected in their respective accounts of the virtues: for Hegel\, the key vir
tue becomes rectitude\, whereas for MacIntyre a wider range of virtues is
required\, to make this quest for the good achievable. Using the character
s of Walt and Travis from Paris\, Texas to illustrate the argument\, it is
suggested that the MacIntyrean option is to be preferred.\nGUEST AND VISI

DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a talk by Eric-John Russell (Universität Pot
sdam)\, who will present chapters from his recently published book\, Why E
verything is as it Seems: Hegel and Debord. Jacob McNulty (University Coll
ege London) will provide a response followed by a Q&A with our audience.\n
Guy Debord has been called many things: pseudo-philosopher\, nihilist\, fi
lmmaker\, megalomaniac\, strategist\, third-rate Mephistopheles. His book
The Society of the Spectacle (1967) has fallen into a similarly motley rec
eption\, frequently enveloped within the discourses of postmodernism\, med
ia and cultural studies\, and avant-garde art history. My research however

SUMMARY:Why Everything is as it Seems: Hegel & Debord. Eric-John Russell

seems-hegel-debord-eric-john-russell/
X-COST-TYPE:free
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nPlease join u
s for a talk by Eric-John Russell (Universität Potsdam)\, who will
present chapters from his recently published book\, Why Everything i
s as it Seems: Hegel and Debord. Jacob McNulty (University College
London) will provide a response followed by a Q&A with our audience.
\nGuy Debord has been called many things: pseudo-philosopher\, nihilist
\, filmmaker\, megalomaniac\, strategist\, third-rate Mephistopheles. His
book The Society of the Spectacle (1967) has fallen into a similarl
y motley reception\, frequently enveloped within the discourses of postmod
ernism\, media and cultural studies\, and avant-garde art history. My rese
arch however\, dispenses with such narratives and instead offers a sustain
ed examination of the concept of the society of the spectacle through the
two pillars upon which Debord understood his own work as a critical theory
of society: Marx’s critique of political economy and Hegel’s speculative
philosophy. It is the latter that will be the focus of my paper\, first by
offering some introductory remarks on Debord’s theory of the spectacle bu
t then arguing that it precisely the speculative dimension of Hege
l’s dialectic that remains central for Debord’s diagnosis of twentieth cen
tury capitalism\, with emphasis placed on the importance of Hegel’s Wes
enslogik. I will conclude with the historical significance of Debord’s
“heretical Hegelianism\,” specifically as an intervention within the atmo
sphere of the French Hegelianism of the interwar and postwar period.

DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the reflexive nature of consciousness\, whic
h consists primarily in the fact that a state of consciousness has a refle
xive relation to the subject who has that state\, so that the subject can
typically be aware of itself as having that state. Comparing Kant’s\, Fich
te’s\, and selected contemporary analytic theories of this reflexivity sho
ws that there is a crucial difference in the way the relation between form
(or mode) and content of a state of consciousness is conceived. The first
part examines Kant’s formal theory of consciousness: reflexivity is under
stood not in terms of a self-referential content resulting from a reflecti
on on the state of the subject\, but as the universal transcendental form
that any content must have in order to be representationally significant a
nd potentially conscious to the subject. The second part examines Fichte’s
departure from Kant in his theory of a self-positing consciousness: in th
e original act of self-positing\, the mere form of reflexivity is turned i
nto a self-referential content that determines the subject as an object fr
om the absolute standpoint of consciousness. The third part examines analy
tic theories that explain the reflexivity (or what is often called the sub
jective character) of consciousness on a model of mental indexicality. The
se theories tend to reduce reflexivity to an objective constituent of cont
ent that\, although often implicit\, can be read off from the subject’s co
ntextual situatedness in nature. In conclusion\, Kant’s theory can be unde

between Fichtean absolute subjectivity and a naturalist absolute objectiv

DESCRIPTION:The pandemic compels us to ask fundamental questions about our

A Pandemic Phenomenology\, Judith Butler shows how COVID-19 and all its c

to reconsider the sense of the world that such disasters bring about. Draw

make sense of our disorientation\, precarity\, and social bonds. What Wor

breathing\, capacities that amid a viral outbreak can threaten life itself
\, challenge the boundaries of the body and selfhood. Criticizing notions
of unlimited personal liberty and the killing forces of racism\, sexism\,
and classism\, this book suggests that the pandemic illuminates the potent
ial of shared vulnerabilities as well as the injustice of pervasive inequa
lities.\nExposing and opposing forms of injustice that deny the essential

DESCRIPTION:What is an appropriate response to humiliating treatments such
as insults? This question is not only relevant to today’s discourse but ha
s also piqued the curiosity of thinkers in classical Chinese philosophy. T
he Warring States period debate regarding whether one’s inner sense of sha
me can shield one from insulting situations and from experiencing shame is
frequently presented as a one-sided narrative that focuses on the Confuci
an texts. Meanwhile\, the views of their rival thinkers\, such as the Daoi
st\, legalist\, or much-neglected Songzi (3rd century BCE)\, are rarely th
e focus of attention. This paper brings Songzi\, a key player in the debat
e of emotions as responses to external triggers\, into the picture and res
tores the historical intellectual discourse over the topic of what constit
utes an appropriate response to humiliating situations such as insults. Mo
re importantly\, I point out the philosophical significance of this debate
\, namely how Songzi prompts Xunzi to respond to an ambiguity within the C
onfucian doctrine: The early Confucians appear to think that an individual
’s internal virtues can isolate and shield one from hostile external stimu
li while also maintaining that the external environment impacts one’s mora
l cultivation and moral life in significant ways. Xunzi’s strategic move\,
I argue\, is to give credit to both an inner sense of shame and the funct
ion of external stimuli in inducing negative emotions\, thus making an imp
ortant philosophical concession compared to Confucius and Mencius.\n\n\n\n

part of The Human Condition (1958) Hannah Arendt turns to the dan
ger of ‘world- alienation’. Based on a variety of discoveries and evolutio
ns that are constitutive of modernity (globalization\, Protestantism\, the
invention of the telescope)\, modern man has adopted an Archimedean\, ext
ernal position vis-à-vis the world. According to Arendt\, this ‘view from
without’ has gradually jeopardized the experience of a shared world\, end
angering the foundation of all meaning-giving activities.
\n
My talk
can be considered as a reply to Arendt’s pessimistic account of modern ‘wo
rld-alienation’. It builds on the idea that some of the most influential t
hinkers of the twentieth century (Ernst Jünger\, Georg Lukács\, Ernst Bl
och\, Theodor Adorno\, Walter Benjamin\, Aby Warburg\, Sigmund Freud) did
not equate the loss of a shared world with the loss of meaning. Rather\, t

egation or fragmentation of the world. From the perspective of these think
