Dear opponents of manipulative political rhetoric, Have you ever felt like it's generally not considered okay to 'be racist', but bigots are still out there stoking racial resentment anyway? Perhaps it is up for debate what it means to 'be racist'? Perhaps norms about what counts as racism might be shifting due to covert rhetorical moves? Perhaps this has something to do with speakers saying stuff like "I'm not racist, but..."? And perhaps these are just rhetorical questions to introduce next week's paper about the kind of rhetorical move "which just barely covers a thing that you're not supposed to show in public"? Find out more next week, when we're joined by Jennifer Saul to discuss a draft of her forthcoming paper on "Figleaves".
Please join us on Wednesday, August 26th, from 4.00 to 5.30pm UK time, for the discussion. Please find the paper here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lcrtmqi7a1cobly/Saul%20-%20Figleaves.pdf?dl=0 And please join the meeting here: https://zoom.us/j/95270195257 Meeting-ID: 952 7019 5257 The very best, Nikki _____________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the CamPhilEvents mailing list, or change your membership options, please visit the list information page: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEvents List archive: https://lists.cam.ac.uk/pipermail/phil-events/ Please note that CamPhilEvents doesn't accept email attachments.
