SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium: Fatima Mojaddedi
DESCRIPTION:Fatima Mojaddedi\, “Body Mike: Alternating Words on the Afghan Frontier” \nThis talk examines how the U.S. military’s counterinsurgency campaign in Afghanistan relies on a fetishistic misrecognition of speaking as inspiration\, and takes linguistic expression as the dissemination of terroristic violence through oral networks of exchange and emboldening. It suggests that the more obvious powers of language (particularly a language that demands its own translation (English) into one that signifies what Afghans do not know (Persian/ Pashto)\, doubles as a harbinger of wartime death and surveillance.  It illustrates how military translators mediate the exchange of words and sense-making\, and participate in the construction of a dangerous rural subjectivity as the exemplification of ineradicable danger. \nLinguistic and biometric practices deployed in intercultural translation within military campaigns\, while newly commodified and bearing much greater and more devastating consequences\, are also the ideological heirs of an earlier imperial discourse on nomadism and irregular frontier movement in the subcontinent. This now transpires in contexts of counterinsurgency\, and speech has come to signify collaboration or guilt (apostasy or terrorism). It informs the contemporary fear about the status of dialect in the Afghan countryside\, where rural subjects are thought to be especially (and dangerously) itinerant\, taking their dialect with them in order to evade military interrogation and biometric capture. \nFatima Mojaddedi\, a President’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Anthropology Department at UCBerkeley\, completed her Ph.D. in Anthropology at Columbia University in 2016. Her ethnographic research\, based in Kabul\, Afghanistan\, considers the nature of contemporary warfare\, language\, and questions of cultural representation and catastrophe.

SUMMARY:Philosophy Colloquium: Jonathan Cohen\, "Many Molyneux Questions"
DESCRIPTION:“Many Molyneux Questions”\nMohan Matthen and Jonathan Cohen \nMolyneux asked whether a newly sighted man would recognize and distinguish a sphere and a cube by sight alone\, assuming that he could previously do this by touch. The most historically important responses to Molyneux arise from views that apply uniformly to questions about the transferability of representations of (not just shape\, but) any arbitrary feature shared by any two modalities. Our starting point is that this is over-simple. The scientific literature contains investigations of many such questions; some are answered positively\, others negatively. The answer to each question is empirical and each has to be investigated separately. Given this fragmentation\, we suggest that the most fruitful approach to MQ is “dimensional:” we identify and organize the problem around parameters that pose processing difficulties for various modalities\, and ask how these difficulties affect MQ. This approach yields many novel MQs\, some new\, others re-applications of problems posed in other contexts. \nJonathan Cohen is a Professor of Philosophy at UC San Diego. He specializes in Philosophy of mind\, language\, and perception\, particularly as these are informed by the cognitive sciences; color and color vision. \nAdvanced Reading: Molyneux Questions\, p. 364 (pdf p. 186) to p. 399 (pdf p. 203).
