Title: Properties and Qualitative Parts

Abstract:
It is relatively common to say that objects have parts, although the kinds of parts involved may vary. To begin with, it seems natural to say that the desk in the office has distinct spatial parts, and a perdurantist is comfortable saying that John-at-t is a temporal part of John. Are there other kinds of parts? I argue that objects have qualitative parts, as tropes. More specifically, given that Socrates is a philosopher, it would not be too far-fetched to say that being a philosopher is a qualitative part of Socrates. The account of properties developed in this paper belongs to mereological nominalism, the view that properties are fusions of some nominalist-friendly entities, and that instantiation is explained in terms of parthood. However, mereological nominalism suffers from several serious problems, such as the Co-Extension problem and the Inheritance problem. This is why it has remained underdeveloped for quite some time. In this paper, I shall develop an account of qualitative parts as tropes and demonstrate that it not only solves these problems but also provides a fruitful understanding of the mereological structure of properties.

The Epistemological Two-Object View of Kant’s Distinction between Appearances and Things in Themselves

Title: The Epistemological Two-Object View of Kant’s Distinction between Appearances and Things in Themselves

Our fourth 2024 Spring Research Seminar talk is on March 29 (Fri) 15:30-17:20. Information about this talk:
Speaker: Dr. Cheng-Hao Lin 林正昊（https://reurl.cc/L4ykj7)

Time & Place: March 29 (Fri) 15:30-17:20,
ZhiXing Building Room 321, Yang Ming campus in Taipei City, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University
Format: In English

Abstract:
Kant’s distinction between appearances and things in themselves is the most important innovation and controversial part of his first Critique. The most common criticism is that the position of the things in themselves contradicts Kant’s principle of our ignorance of non-sensible objects. The views of contemporary Kant scholars who defend him can be roughly divided into three categories to interpret this distinction: the epistemological one-object (two aspects) view, the metaphysical one-object (two kinds of property) view, and the metaphysical two-object view. In this paper, I point out that none of these interpretations successfully resolves the interpretive dilemma: the epistemological one-object view as much as cancels the things in themselves and does not correspond to the text, while the metaphysical one- and two-object views cannot save the principle of ignorance. Therefore, I propose an epistemological two-object view that has not been seriously considered before. This view takes things in themselves to be putative objects that are distinct from appearances, but only for epistemological purposes. It corresponds to the text in that the concept of things in themselves is only a problematic and limiting concept and does not exceed the boundary of cognition for Kant.

講者簡介：
彭盈真為國立台灣大學日本語文學系學士、國立台灣大學藝術史研究所碩士、美國加州大學洛杉磯分校藝術史博士。曾任職國立故宮博物院、中央研究院文哲所，並在美國大都會博物館以及荷蘭國立博物館訪問研究。自2014年起任教亞美利堅大學，2023-2024年度為上海紐約大學全球亞洲中心訪問學者。專攻近現代中國美術史，特別關注性別議題與物質文化，2021年主辦該校之第七屆女性主義藝術史研討會。主辦展覽「Empress Dowager Cixi: Selections from the Summer Palace」（Bowers Museum, 2017），並參與「Empresses of China’s Forbidden City」（Peabody Essex Museum, Freer Gallery, 2018-9）、「China’s Hidden Century」（British Museum, 2023）等展覽。出版論文散見於Nan Nü, Ars Orientalis等期刊 與論文集，專書Artful Subversion: Empress Dowager Cixi’s Image Making（2023）由耶魯大學出版社出版，探討慈禧太后如何轉借歷來帝王用藝術塑造個人形象的傳統，整合肖像、器物、書畫與建築等各種藝術形式建構並宣傳一種剛柔並濟的女君形象。即將完成的書稿Gendered Blue: A History of Women’s Jeans in Hong Kong, Taiwan and China，解析二十世紀的香港、台灣和中國視覺、物質文化中的女士牛仔褲作為美式價值觀與認同的符碼，所反映出當地社會的女權運動歷程。

講座內容簡介：
自從Linda Nochlin在1971年提出「為什麼歷史上沒有偉大的女性藝術家?」的大哉問，女性主義藝術史已走過了半世紀。它審視女性的藝術創作與贊助活動，打破了幾個世紀以來既定的藝術史學傳統，使文藝復興以來的女藝術家走入學界的視野，並啟發其他反思、重新定義經典的研究方法。1990年Judith Butler的《性別惑亂：女性主義與認同顛覆》批判女性主義的二元論本質，強調性別和慾望的流動性，挑戰女性主義的邊界，應運而生的是酷兒理論對陽性與陰性氣質的視覺表現及審美等研究。與此同時，Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw則疾呼關注導致壓迫的各種因素，例如性向、種族，社會經濟地位，國籍，即所謂「多元交織性（intersectionality）」，進一步深化「女性」作為一個群體的複雜性，鼓舞學界對少數族裔、藍領階級女性藝術家的關

注。本講座從講者任教的美國亞美利堅大學（American University）已連續主辦十三年之著名女性主義藝術史研討會出發，回顧這段學術史，並探討東亞藝術史導入女性主義和性別研究後激撞出的各種展覽與出版成果，例如皇室女贊助人、女性文人與職業畫家、殘疾藝術家、女性收藏家和大眾品味，最後展望本領域的新研究課題。

關於「藝術學學門前瞻／跨領域系列講座」：
藝術學學門從2022年中開始，將約每兩個月舉辦一場視訊講座，推動各次領域的前瞻／跨領域議題探索，以及各次領域之間、藝術學門與其它學門之間的跨領域議題交流與整合研究。我們期待藉此論壇激盪研究人員，開拓富有學術創意的研究題目，或共組跨領域研究團隊，對國際上前瞻之學術議題進行整合性的研究。

This short seminar will not discuss the practical aspects of doing video research, such as setting up cameras and microphones, working with video-editing software, transcribing verbal talk and embodied conduct, or subtitling videos for presentation. Instead, will dive into the methodological roots of video analysis in ethnomethodology (EM) and conversation analysis (CA), focusing on how recordings have been used in EMCA to study participants’ own analysis of each other’s conduct, rather than researchers analyzing recordings from an external perspective. 🔍 Additionally, we will discuss examples from three recent research projects: video calls in migrant families and how grandparents make sure that children greet their remote parents; mobile payments in service encounters and how merchants determine how customers intend to pay; how hotel guests change their behaviour when they are not recognised by a facial recognition kiosk in a self-service hotel.
