SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:[Race\, Gender and Feminist Philosophy Working Group] Phil Talk with J. Oksala on Feb. 14th at 1!
DESCRIPTION:Hello RGFP-ers and philosophers (generally)! \nWe're sending a message to both the RGFP listserv and the department listservs because we're super excited to be hosting an invited external speaker – Johanna Oksala – next week. Professor Oksala will be joining us for a work in progress talk on Feb. 14\, from 1-3 p.m in Angel Hall 2271. \nProfessor Oksala is a professor at Loyola University Chicago known for her extensive work in political philosophy\, feminist philosophy\, environmental philosophy\, Foucault\, and phenomenology. She recently published a monograph Feminism\, Capitalism\, and Ecology (2023). \nProfessor Oksala sent us an abstract for her talk that looks deeply interesting! \nCritical Phenomenology and the Problem of Ideology\nAbstract: The paper stages an encounter between critical phenomenology and Marxist theory for the purpose of contributing to the development of a distinctive method for critical phenomenology. The argument proceeds in three stages. In the first section\, I analyze the Marxist critique of immediate experience with the help of Georg Lukács. I contend that this critique has important consequences for the method of critical phenomenology: critical phenomenology needs a hybrid method that can combine analyses of experience with systemic investigations\, such as Marxist theory\, but it must also grapple with the fundamental Marxist insight that experiences themselves are always ideologically distorted. In the second section\, I consider the possibility that we respond to the problem of ideology by treating critical phenomenology either as a form of standpoint theory or ideology critique. My contention is\, however\, that critical phenomenology should be understood as a distinct form of critique capable of investigating the experiential breaks that open a critical perspective on ideology. In the final section\, I illustrate what this might mean more concretely with a brief discussion of Franz Fanon’s seminal analysis of racialized experience in Black Skin\, White Masks.\nWe'd love for a significant department / RGFP showing. Come and bring friends! Feel very encouraged to come even if you've never shown up to RGFP before! There is no pre-read\, and we have *two* dinner slots left for afterwards (we'll give first dibs to people who show up first to the talk). \nIf you'd like to join in on zoom\, the zoom link for this semester is here.\nBest\, AG & Yixuan
