SUMMARY:Pasolini's Body: New Directions in Pasolini Scholarship
DESCRIPTION:Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) — poet\, film director\, screenwriter and theatre critic\, playwright\, essayist\, journalist\, graphic artist\, and novelist — was one of the great Italian artistic and intellectual figures of the twentieth century.  Since his mysterious murder in 1975\, Pasolini has been reviled; then sanctified. Our goal is to historicize Pasolini. This conference focuses on configurations of the body and gesture that arise in Pasolini’s performative\, visual\, and poetic practices with respect to the artist image\, the ‘popular body’\, the Third World\, narrative and choreographic movement\, Pasolini’s life\, and his conceptions of the political and eroticism as they intersect history\, culture\, and myth. \nThursday \n7:30-10 pm – Film Screening: Arabian Nights \nIntroduction: Peter Limbrick\, UCSC \nLocation: Studio C\, Communications Building \nFriday  \n8:30-9:00 – Coffee  \n9:00-9:30 – Opening Remarks\nDavid Yager\, Dean of the Arts\,\nMark Franko\, Director of the Center for Visual and Performance Studies \n9:30-11:30 – Panel: Corporeal Poetics\nTyrus Miller\, UCSC\n“Transhumanize and Organize: Pasolini’s Crossing of Philology and Biopolitics” \nArmando Maggi\, U.

SUMMARY:Hans Sluga: “From Normative Theory to Diagnostic Practice”
DESCRIPTION:From the Greeks to the present our moral and political philosophizing has been preoccupied with a search for the timeless and the universal: timeless norms of moral action and universal principles of political life. Where this may once have seemed to be a plausible undertaking\, it is not obviously so any longer. A clear understanding of the nature of our rapidly changing world should alert us to the need for another form of philosophical thinking – one that pays attention to the condition in which we find ourselves and that seeks to reach practical conclusions\, if any\,on the basis of a proper diagnosis of the present. In place of the usual normative theorizing we need to foster\, what I will call\, a diagnostic practice in moral and political philosophy. \nProfessor Hans Sluga will be speaking at 4:00PM on Thursday\, April 14\, 2011 at the invitation of the Philosophy Department. This event is free and open to the public. \nHans Sluga studied at Oxford University\, where he became familiar with the writings of Wittgenstein. Sluga credits Sir Michael Dumment with influencing his extensive interest in Frege’s contribution to the development of modern logic and philosophy of language. During his time at Oxford he also studied under R.M. Hare and Isaiah Berlin\, stirring his interest in questions of ethics and politics. \nProfessor Sluga’s overall philosophical outlook is radically historical as he believes that “we can understand ourselves only as being with a particular evolution and history”.  As such he is drawn to the works of Nietzsche and Foucault. Sluga claims to be “attracted to a realist and naturalistic view of things rather than any sort of formalistic rationalism”. \nHe has recently taught courses on Political Philosophy\, Nietzsche\, and Hegel’s “Philosophy of Right”.

SUMMARY:Colin Koopman: "Pleasure and Parrhesia in Foucault's Self-Transformative Ethics"
DESCRIPTION:Michel Foucault’s late writings on ethics have been subjected to severe scrutiny by a host of critics. I suggest that these criticisms have for the most part been misguided because of a meta-ethical error too often relied upon in interpretations of Foucault.  I offer a distinction between ethical ‘orientations’ and ethical ‘commitments’.  Rather than offering substantive normative content\, I argue\, Foucault’s ethics are an attempt to specify a formal mode or style of ethical practice which can gain determinate normative content only in contexts of actual ethical practice.  The guiding ethical orientation in Foucault’s late writings is\, I argue\, self-transformation as a practice of freedom.  After defending Foucault along these lines\, I discuss how self-transformation helps us understand the relatively more determinate ethical conceptions of pleasure and parrhesia (fearless speech) developed in Foucault’s late writings.  I conclude with some sharp questions about the lack of sufficient determinate ethical content in these conceptions\, thus opening the possibility for supplementing Foucault’s ethics with the work of other self-transformative moral philosophers\, including for\ninstance William James. \nProfessor Colin Koopman (BA Evergreen State College 1998\, MA Leeds University 1999\, PhD McMaster University 2006) will be speaking at 4:00 on Thursday\, March 31\, 2011 at the Philosophy department colloquium held in the Cowell Conference Room. This event is free and open to the campus community. His area of specialty includes but is not limited to Pragmatism & American Philosophy\, Genealogy & Critical Theory\, Political & Social Philosophy\, etc.  Professor Koopman was awarded a Doctoral Fellowship (04-06) and Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (06-08) for his work with the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. More recently he received the Robert F. and Evelyn Nelson Wulf Professorship\, as well as the Oregon Humanities Center Teaching Fellowship (11-12). He has taught at UC Santa Cruz (08-09) and currently resides as a Assistant Professor at University of Oregon. He has also given courses as a visiting lecture at UC Berkeley’s School of Information (09).
