OUR STUDIES SHOW Session 8

April 6 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

- FREE

ONLINE session

FREE/NON-MONETARY 
Lead by SPCUNY alumni Esther Neff of PPL, OUR STUDIES SHOW stages collective philosophy as a form of theatre. It is a play about/of/at thinking. Considering our inhabitation of our own body-minds as legitimate empirical study (e.g. “instances of human being/thinking”) and our intuitions, experiences, and ideas as important philosophical contributions, we practice complex thought together through a series of in-person gatherings. We (those assembled) dig deeply into metaphysical and conceptual problems. Everyone is welcome. No assumed “knowledge,” or intellectual “background” needed. The primary task here is simply to compose and perform complex inquiries together. This is not a reading group, it is (a) “play.”

Through the first three sessions in Fall of 2024, collective bodies composed the form of an inquiry:

1) how are “human beings” related to “nature”?
2) how does what actual embodied persons believe about this question “matter”?
3) How shall we evaluate “beliefs” on grounds other than whether or not they are “true” or “scientific”?

Spring 2025 sessions will involve “theoretical dramaturgies” (scores for thinking and theorizing together) which re-phrase, re-frame, and re-iterate such inquiries, particularly in relation to “biological” vs. “cultural”  senses of sex and gender, de-alienation and “settler surrender,” and the role of doxastic logics (belief systems) in collective self-recognition.

Masks are required for the in-person session. The space and bathroom are accessible to those using wheelchairs or other mobility aids. ASL interpretation available on request. Please e-mail eneff@gradcenter.cuny.edu with any questions.
