Dear all, 

Emanuel Viebahn (HU Berlin) will be the second speaker at the Serious 
Metaphysics Group this term. His title and abstract are as follows.

Title: Insincerity in linguistic and pictorial communication

Abstract: Words can be used to lie. Pictures can be used to mislead. But can 
pictures be used to lie? In this talk, I will argue in favour of the 
possibility of lying with pictures, and I will show that attending to pictorial 
lies can help us to better understand the nature of lying and misleading, as 
well as the nature of linguistic and pictorial communicative acts more 
generally.  

Best,
Alex
