tutorial talks in this year will concentrate on the topic of *implicit
processes across the life span*.
The conference is open for scholars and students doing research on *all
aspects of cognitive science.*

'Recognition and the Politics of Needs'
Tuesday, 1 March, 2010, 4.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
The claim that human beings need recognition seems intuitively plausible. In the existing literature on both recognition and needs, however, this claim is rarely explicitly spelled out and defended. In my talk I will address some of the problems that contemporary theories of recognition face in explaining the link between needs and recognition. I will first sketch how this link can be conceived and discuss in how far recognition itself can be understood as a basic human need. Starting from the idea that a basic human need is something that it is necessary for humans to have, I will then discuss the implications of understanding recognition as a condition of agency. After having pointed out some of the problems such an understanding of the link between needs and recognition has to confront, I will, in the last step, argue for a negative, minimalist and proceduralist approach that focuses on misrecognition and conceives of recognition as primarily directed at the status of agents as parties in struggles for and over recognition.

Érzelemtulajdonítás a szünethossz függvényében anyanyelvű és idegen nyelvű beszédben
helyszín: Stoczek utca 2. St. ép. 320-as terem, 1111 Budapest
időpont: 2011 február 28., 12:00-13:00
Absztrakt
Kutatásunkban azt vizsgáltuk, hogy az érzelemtulajdonításban milyen szerepet játszik a beszédben megjelenő szünetek hossza és aránya anyanyelven illetve idegen nyelven hallott szövegek esetében. A kísérletben felhasznált eredeti hanganyagot öt érzelmileg semleges magyar beszédrészlet adta, amelyeket szisztematikusan módosítottunk az Audacity számítógépes program segítségével: a bennük előforduló szünetek mindegyikét lecsökkentettük 21 vagy 50 %-kal, illetve meghosszabbítottuk 18 vagy 50 %-kal. Mind a magyar, mind a német anyanyelvű kísérleti személyek feladata az volt, hogy egy-egy beszédrészletet meghallgatva egy kérdőív segítségével megállapítsák, hogy a beszélő mennyire volt vidám, dühös, undorodott stb. Spearman-féle korrelációval vizsgálatuk a beszédrészletekben lévő szünetek arányának és a beszélőnek tulajdonított érzelem mértékének kapcsolatát. Az eredmények azt mutatták, hogy a szünetek hossza korrelált a beszélőnek tulajdonított érzelem mértékével. Mindkét csoport esetében a beszédmintákat vidámabbnak, pozitívabbnak, valamint kevésbé szomorúnak és kevésbé ijedtnek ítélték a kísérleti személyek a szünetek rövidülésével, a szünetarány csökkenésével. A német anyanyelvűek erősebb negatív érzelmeket tulajdonítottak a beszélőknek, mint a magyarok. Elmondhatjuk, hogy mind saját nyelvünkön, mind idegen nyelven érzékeljük a szünetek hosszának változását, és a szövegben lévő szünetek aránya meghatározza a beszélőnek tulajdonított érzelmi állapot mértékét..

`Ubi Inletabilitas ibi Virtus: Melancholy, Virtue and
Self-Consciousness`
Tuesday, 22 February, 2010, 4.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
A 17th Century print by Giovanni Castiglione bears a motto: Ubi
Inletabilitas ibi Virtus. Its meaning is far from clear. What is
inletabilitas? What exactly is its relation to virtue? To what broader
psychological theory and moral theory does the thought in the motto
belong? I draw on a range of resources – from phenomenology, from art
history, from the ontology of Renaissance psychiatry – to propose and
explore an answer. Inletabilitas, I argue, is a distinctive form of
melancholic self-consciousness. It is associated closely with grief and
mourning, and with other forms of awareness in which one gains a
perspective on hermeneutic totalities.
