[koglist] BBS Call for Commentary Proposals: Bullot & Reber

by Behavioral and Brain Sciences

Dear Dr. Qwerty: We are writing you to announce that BBS has just accepted an article for open peer commentary in BBS. The article was already reviewed, and we are now accepting commentary proposals. If you are interested in writing a commentary, you are welcome to submit a short proposal (see instructions below). No action is required if you aren't interested. Please DO NOT submit a full commentary article unless you are formally invited---AFTER you submit a commentary *proposal*. We will review all commentary proposals and issue invitations around the end of February. Also, please be aware that we typically receive far more commentary proposals than we can accommodate with formal invitations. When choosing invitations, we balance over multiple factors, including the interest of the commentary itself, the commentator's expertise, whether the commentator's work has been discussed in the target article, and other considerations. NOW PROCESSING COMMENTARY PROPOSALS ON: Target Article: The Artful Mind Meets Art History: Toward a Psycho-Historical Framework for the Science of Art Appreciation Authors: Nicolas J. Bullot and Rolf Reber Deadline for Commentary Proposals: March 21, 2012 Abstract: Research seeking a scientific foundation for the theory of art appreciation has raised controversies at the intersection of the social and cognitive sciences. Though equally relevant to a scientific inquiry into art appreciation, psychological and historical approaches to art developed independently and lack a common core of theoretical principles. Historicists argue that psychological and brain sciences ignore the fact that artworks are artifacts produced and appreciated in the context of unique historical situations and artistic intentions. After revealing flaws in the psychological approach, we introduce a psycho-historical framework for the science of art appreciation. This framework demonstrates that a science of art appreciation must investigate how appreciators process causal and historical information to classify and explain their psychological responses to art. Expanding on research about the cognition of artifacts, we identify three modes of appreciation: basic exposure to an artwork, the artistic design stance, and artistic understanding. The artistic design stance, a requisite for artistic understanding, is an attitude whereby appreciators develop their sensitivity to art-historical contexts by means of inquiries into the making, authorship, and functions of artworks. We defend and illustrate the psycho-historical framework with an analysis of existing studies on art appreciation in empirical aesthetics. Finally, we argue that the fluency theory of aesthetic pleasure can be amended to meet the requirements of the framework. We conclude that scientists can tackle fundamental questions about the nature and appreciation of art within the psycho-historical framework. Keywords: Art appreciation; causal reasoning; cognitive tracking; cognition of artifacts; design stance; essentialism; function; history of art; mindreading; processing fluency; psycho-historical framework Download Target Article Preprint: http://journals.cambridge.org/BBSJournal/Call/Bullot_preprint COMMENTARY PROPOSALS *MUST* INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING 1. What aspect of the target article or book you would anticipate commenting on. 2. The relevant expertise you would bring to bear on the target article or book. Please include names and affiliations of your co-authors, if applicable, in the text of your commentary proposal. SUGGESTING COMMENTATORS AND NOMINATING BBS ASSOCIATES To suggest others as possible Commentators, or to nominate others for BBS Associateship status, please email bbsjournal(a)cambridge.org. http://journals.cambridge.org/BBSJournal/Inst/Assoc HOW TO SUBMIT A COMMENTARY PROPOSAL If you would like to nominate yourself for potential commentary invitation, you must submit a Commentary Proposal via our BBS Editorial Manager site: 1.

[koglist] invitation to a talk on`The Word According to David Kaplan`by Zsofia Zvolenszky - 6 March, 5.30 PM in Zrinyi 14/412

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Zsofia Zvolenszky (ELTE, CEU) on `The Word According to David Kaplan` Tuesday, 6 March, 2012, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT We hear someone talk in English about a job, in German about der Job and in French about le job. Are these performances of the same word or of different words? What is at stake in answering this question? How should we individuate words? David Kaplan (1990) proposed various constraints on word individuation, which John Hawthorne and Ernest Lepore (2011) criticized and revised. I will argue that relating words and their performances (written or oral) to one another involves considerably more complexity than what participants in the debate have been recognizing. Via the added complexity, we can highlight some crucial insights from Kaplan about intentions accompanying performances of words. Hawthorne, John and Ernest Lepore (2011). On Words.

[koglist] reminder: invitation to a talk on`The Roma group: issues of normative definition`by Magali Bessone Tuesday, 28 February, 5.30 PM, Monument building Popper room (1st floor/102)

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Magali Bessone (University of Rennes) on `The Roma group: issues of normative definition` Tuesday, 28 February, 5.30 PM, PLEASE NOTE LOCATION: Monument building Popper room (9. Nádor str. 1st floor/102) ABSTRACT In the 2000’s, a “Roma question” seems to have emerged at the European level, linked to the specific type of exclusion and discrimination that the Roma population is supposed to endure not only in new, but also in old, EU democracies. Specific European directives or recommendations target the Roma minority, commonly considered as the biggest European minority (around 12 million people). But if the Roma question seems obvious and pressing, the “Roma” category is far from clear: if the Roma minority is indeed a minority, what are the relevant criteria? Is it ethnic, national, cultural, linguistic, racialized, etc.? The answer to that question matters from an ontological and from a normative points of view. First, from an ontological point of view, the question becomes, who is the Roma group? That is: what type of category is “Roma” and what is the referent for the category in folk and/or scientific uses of the term? The answer to that question is fundamental for two reasons: first, because it may lead us to considering new ways of conceptualizing a distinctive “political” category. Our hypothesis is that the Roma category is best understood outside of the classical bipartition proposed by W. Kymlicka in a liberal multicultural perspective (Multicultural Citizenship), which is largely the frame of thought adopted by European officials. The Roma minority is neither a national nor an ethnic minority. The Roma situation escapes the proposed dichotomy, which is implicitly territorially based. The Frame Statute of the Romani nation, designed by some Romani representatives in 2001, points us towards a new tentative approach: the Roma category could be grasped, in a distinctively constructionist perspective, as referring to a political national group based on a culture of solidarity with all vulnerable nations (P. Pettit, Republicanism), without a compact territory and without a distinct homogenous given culture. Second, the answer to the ontological question matters because it specifies the answer to the normative one, which becomes: should we get rid of the Roma category because it is an artificial creation of neo-liberal managerial European institutions, or should we keep it because it is the visible part of an important movement of collective identification and mobilization against arbitrary domination? Indeed, from the status of a group ensues the type of rights or exemptions the group can legitimately demand (in the case of minorities, from various poly-ethnic rights to the right of self-determination): what type of right is legitimate for the Roma group as defined in the first section? More fundamentally, recognizing the political legitimacy of the Roma group could lead us to renew our territorially-based notion of nation or state. A whole new scale of justice could be suggested, at least at the European level, by redefining the basic characteristics of the equal partners (Member States) entitled to enter the deliberative process of democratic decision- and norm-making. By contrast with (individualist) cosmopolitan thinkers, such as T. Pogge or R. Beitz, we do not claim that political standing should be disembedded from national status, since national borders fix arbitrary limits to political legitimacy. Rather, we argue that political standing should be attributed to nations, understood as non territorially-based political collective agents. The Roma case is a unique opportunity to question the implicit theoretical assumptions of our political Europe.

[koglist] [CDC Seminars] Robert Kail: Advice to young writers from an old editor

by Gergely Csibra

Robert Kail, the outgoing editor of Psychological Science, will give a presentation at 11:30 am on Tuesday, 17 April at CEU (exact venue is to be announced later). His title is "Advice to young writers from an old editor". This is not a scientific talk but a presentation to researchers in any areas of psychology on how to get your paper published in Psychological Science or other high-profile journals. The target audience is doctoral students, postdocs, and young faculty members. (In fact, Rob Kail would prefer if senior people who have extensive experience in publishing would not attend because "their presence discourages inexperienced writers from asking questions.") Please circulate this announcement to those who may be interested.
