FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Affective Basis of Cognition and Reasoning in Non-human Animals" by Prof. Sanja Srećković, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany

Abstract
The talk starts by presenting what I call ‘the two problems of animal reasoning’. The first problem concerns the mainstream understanding of reasoning in philosophy of mind and epistemology, which faces significant difficulties explaining a growing body of empirical results in animal cognition research. The second problem concerns the interpretation of the same empirical results within comparative psychology, namely, whether they are best explained by appeal to (‘lower’) associative or (‘higher’) cognitive mechanisms. Some recent developments have led to a crisis of both this practice and the distinction between the ‘associative’ and the ‘cognitive’. In response to these two problems, I develop an affect-based approach to reasoning, which broadens the conception of reasoning to include the non-human cases. I also show that affective experiences exhibit both ‘associative’ and ‘cognitive’ characteristics, further challenging the strict dichotomy between them, which might more fruitfully be replaced by a continuum.

Bio
Sanja Srećković received her Ph.D. degree in Philosophy at the University of Belgrade in 2019, where she continued working as a Research Associate. During her PhD, she was a visiting scholar at York University in Toronto, where she did research on mental representation and animal cognition. In February 2024, she won an EPSA Fellowship for a research visit to the University of Geneva, to work on philosophy of emotions and philosophy of biology. In 2024 she became a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow at Ruhr University Bochum, where she joined Alber Newen’s research group. Her current work combines research on mental representation, reasoning and affective experiences from a comparative and developmental perspective. The goal of her research project is to develop a framework for understanding reasoning that does not depend on linguistic capability and can include non-linguistic reasoning agents. She is also exploring the role of affective and emotional experiences in developing more abstract cognitive capacities.

2024-04-15 16:00 - 17:30 | E21A-3118 & Zoom

The forum aims to provide a platform for world-renowned scholars from diverse humanities fields to share their research with the FAH community and other UM scholars. All members of the UM community are cordially invited to this splendid event.

In this upcoming forum, we are honored to have Prof. Chen Pingyuan as our guest speaker to deliver a lecture on the topic “The Facets of the New Culture Movement”. Prof. Chen Pingyuan is currently first-class professor of Philosophy and Social Sciences of China, Peking University Boya Chair Professor, and Director of the Institute of Modern Chinese Humanities at Peking University, and a member of the China Central Institute for Culture and History. Prof. Chen was the former Head of the Chinese Department of Peking University, a member of the 6th and 7th Chinese Language and Literature Discipline evaluation group of the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council, and President of the Chinese Institute of Folk Literature. Over the past 30 years, Prof. Chen has received countless awards for his prolific academic research output, having published more than 40 books related to Chinese novels and prose, such as Transformation of the Narrative Mode of Chinese Novels, Touches of History: An Entry into ‘May Fourth” China, The Unfinished ‘May Fourth’ Movement, and How to Educate Literature. He was designated a “Chinese Doctoral Degree recipient with outstanding Contributions” by the State Education Commission and the Academic Degrees Committee of The State Council (1991). Prof. Chen was also awarded the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 9th Outstanding Scientific Research Output Award (Humanities and Social Sciences) for Higher Education Institutions (1995, 1998, 2003, 2009, 2013, 2024), and other awards including the 4th Wang Yao Academic Award (2016), the 4th Simian Original Award (2017), the 14th Wenjin Book Award (2019), and a Book Nomination Award in the 5th China Publishing Government Awards (2021), among others.

Details of the forum are as below:
Speaker: Prof. Chen Pingyuan
Topic: The Facets of the New Culture Movement
Date: 15 Apr 2024 (Mon)
Time: 16:00 – 17:30*
Venue: On-Site (E21A-3118) / ZOOM ( https://umac.zoom.us/j/99271203610 )
Language: Mandarin (with simultaneous interpretation into English on Zoom)
*Light refreshments will be provided on a first-come-first-served basis

Abstract:
The New Culture Movement didn’t fall out of thin air, nor was it solely achievable through the efforts of individuals like Chen Duxiu and Hu Shi. The period from 1898 to 1927 should be comprehended and interpreted as a unified entity. This approach aims to diminish the dramatic nature of “events” and highlight the lengthy and tortuous “evolution”. From the nascent beginnings to the widespread impact, there was a long struggle, and not everyone was fortunate enough to catch the golden opportunity. It’s like a multi-act play where those who show up on stage at the beginning might exit halfway through, and the supporting roles in the first act might become leading roles in subsequent acts. Those who play until the final act are not necessarily the ultimate winners. The whole cast should receive applause at the curtain call, not just the leads or the last performers.

Abstract
In my talk I will outline a direct-realist theory of sensory experience, i.e. a theory according to which material objects are directly given to us in sensory experience. In contrast to other versions of direct realism, however, I will not limit the scope of this claim to veridical experiences, but extend it to non-veridical cases (hallucinations, illusions, dreams) as well. The central idea of my approach is to understand non-veridical cases of sensory experience as direct awarenesses of non-existent material objects. I would like to draw on a conception of non-existent objects that was originally introduced by Alexius Meinong (1904) and later developed further by Terence Parsons (1980), Richard Routley (1980) and Dale Jacquette (1996).

Bio
Wolfgang works as a visiting professor at Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich, Germany. His core interests lie in various areas of theoretical philosophy. Currently, he is working primarily on problems of self-consciousness and self-knowledge. However, he is also interested in the structure of phenomenal concepts, the nature of non-existent objects and metaphilosophical questions, in particular the question of what makes a topic an object of philosophical research. — Earlier, Wolfgang worked at Goethe-University Frankfurt, Duisburg-Essen University, Leibniz University Hannover, Bielefeld University, Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, and Freie Universität Berlin. He lives in Berlin, together with his partner and two children.

A capoeira é uma manifestação cultural afro-brasileira que envolve elementos de dança, arte marcial, música, jogo e religiosidade. O surgimento da expressão foi protagonizado pelos negros escravizados como forma de resistência à opressão dos senhores e de preservação das suas identidades culturais. A roda, os instrumentos musicais, o canto e os movimentos corporais compõem a performance em capoeira.
Axé Macau foi a primeira academia de capoeira criada na região. O seu principal propósito é promover o conhecimento da história, música, arte e cultura do Brasil através de aulas educativas e interactivas.

FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: "Language, identity, and language policy in Timor-Leste"
2024-04-25 16:00 - 17:30 | E21-G039
Abstract:
The legacy of Portuguese colonialism is evident in modern-day Timor-Leste, and frequently discussed in terms of language policy. When Timor-Leste became independent in 2002 one of the decisions that needed to be made involved languages. In addition to many indigenous languages, three foreign languages also had to be considered – Bahasa Indonesia, Portuguese, and English. In this talk I will begin by describing the Timorese linguistic ecology and explaining the decisions made around languages in the new constitution. However, official language policy is not always reflected in language use. In order to gauge the effectiveness of language policy in Timor-Leste I will then draw on two studies of the same linguistic landscape in Dili, the capital city. Conducted more than a decade apart, the data from these studies allows insights into the implementation of the language policy, language practices, and expressions of national identity over time.
Biography:
John Macalister is Emeritus Professor of Applied Linguistics at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. His teaching and research have spanned the breadth of the field, from language learning & teaching to language policy & linguistic landscapes. He co-edited Multilingual Memories: Monuments, museums and the linguistic landscape (Bloomsbury) with Professor Robert Blackwood. He is a former President of Applied Linguistics in Aotearoa New Zealand (ALANZ) and is the New Zealand English consultant for the Oxford English Dictionary.
