Filosofijos institutas kviečia į lietuvių kilmės Edinburgo universiteto filosofo dr. Mike Anusas paskaitą „Theorising with surfaces: a way of doing phenomenology?“ Paskaita vyks birželio 5 dieną, 17 val., Filosofijos fakulteto 209 auditorijoje.
Paskaitos anotacija:
What potential might the idea of ‘surface’ have for phenomenology? If we attend to the surfaces of everyday life, then we are able to carefully study what is remnant, what is immediate, and consider how living is a continuous unfolding of perception in an alteration between states of unknowing, imagination and knowing. Further, to attend principally to surfaces, means to resist problematic pre-categorisations of object, space, living/non-living, human/nature and alternatively attend to the world around us in all its states of interwoven complexity and as it becomes perceptually manifest through transitory coherences of particle, medium, fluid, solid, sentience and intelligence. I would like to put this argument to the Faculty of Philosophy at Vilnius University and to explore the possibilities of thinking ‘surficially’; not superficially. I will draw on my edited volume Surfaces: Transformations of Body, Materials and Earth (Anusas and Simonetti 2020) and my theoretical work influenced by the anthropologist Tim Ingold the media philosopher Vilém Flusser (who can be considered phenomenologists) and also the geographer Kathryn Yusoff.
