DESCRIPTION:About this event\n\n\n<p>Deakin Philosophy Seminar Series</p>\n<p><em>This is an in-person event at Deakin's Waterfront Campus as well as online via zoom.</em></p>\n<p>Reframing Hate Speech Against Women Online</p>\n<p>This talk discloses a heretofore unexplored framework for thinking through hate speech against women online: a social imaginaries framework. Following Susan James' insight that 'the social imaginary' &ndash\; those networks of interconnecting symbols that give meaning to our existence\, and our capacity (via imagination and collective agency) to generate and modify such networks &ndash\; is our most basic ontological category\, this book first theorises about 'the' social imaginary. There is a 'dominant' social imaginary in any given milieu\, however that imaginary is constituted by several 'central' social imaginaries &ndash\; and some of these imaginaries track identity traits. What's more\, surrounding these central imaginaries are marginal imaginaries &ndash\; alternatives in which we could collectively invest both cognitively and affectively. Most significantly for this book &ndash\; the focus of which is hate speech against women\, online &ndash\; is the central sexual imaginary\, which is patriarchal\, and the central digital imaginary\, which features a paradoxical mixture of liberal-esque utopianism and dystopianism. The book argues that it is necessary that central (and thus dominant) imaginal revolution occurs &ndash\; that apt marginal imaginings are taken up and instituted in the ways we live our lives &ndash\; for harms enacted against women online to desist. The book offers an account of some necessary but not sufficient methods to produce such revolution.</p>\n<p>Speaker Bio</p>\n<p>Louise Richardson-Self is the author of<em>&nbsp\;Hate Speech Against Women Online: Concepts and Countermeasures</em>&nbsp\;(2021) and<em>&nbsp\;Justifying Same-Sex Marriage: A Philosophical Analysis&nbsp\;</em>(2015).
