SUMMARY:Kant’s Cave: What is Philosophical Obscenity? - Sailee Khurjekar
LOCATION:St Hilda's East Community Centre
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 40% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nATTEND IN PERSON OR ON ZOOM\n\nThis talk starts with a de
 ceptively simple question: What makes something obscene? Join teacher and 
 PhD candidate Sailee Khurjekar for an accessible introduction to how we sh
 ould go about defining philosophical obscenity. She will explore how the o
 bscene emerges when representations\, behaviours\, or encounters transgres
 s social\, symbolic\, or aesthetic norms while provoking an uneasy blend o
 f attraction and repulsion. Drawing on a paradigm-based approach\, Sailee 
 will trace the recurring features of obscene experience\, from public and 
 private indecency to urination and defecation\, ultimately arguing that we
  can learn something valuable from philosophical obscenity. No previous ex
 perience of the literature is required.\n\nSailee Khurjekar is a PhD candi
 date in Philosophy at Birkbeck\, University of London. Her research examin
 es obscenity and art censorship\, looking at whether obscene art warrants 
 censure if it shown to harm vulnerable minority groups. She is also a Phil
 osophy teacher at Haberdashers’ Boys’ School\, where she runs the Debating
  programme. Sailee has had two articles published in Philosophy Now\, one 
 on the philosophy of Japanese gardens and another on the philosophy of rac
 e. She has previously been interviewed by The Guardian about the Race and 
 Ethnic Disparities Report and is currently one of the organisers of the Lo
 ndon Aesthetics Forum\, which aims to stimulate philosophical reflection a
 nd discussion on art.\n\nThis event is sponsored by the Royal institute of
  Philosophy.\nFor the full programme of events pls see pfalondon.org
