DESCRIPTION:\n\nSocial Anthropology Seminar\n\nMonday\, 12th February 201
 8\n\nProfessor Webb Keane – University of Michigan\n\nEveryday Ethics an
 d the Possibility of Critique\n\nCritique is an assertion of values pitt
 ed against a state of affairs.  To say that things should not be the way
  they are--to respond to questions such as ‘Why do I think this politica
 l or economic arrangement is wrong (and why should I care?’) implies an 
 ethical stance.  Critique thus draws together fact and value\, domains t
 hat a long tradition of moral thought has argued exist on distinct plane
 s.  For there are dimensions of political life that are incomprehensible
  without this conjunction between ethical motivations and social realiti
 es. But if they are to have political consequences\, such questions cann
 ot be confined to private introspection.  Scale matters.  This talk look
 s at the articulation between everyday interactions and social movements
  to show the interplay among the first\, second\, and third person stanc
 es that characterize ethical life.  Drawing ethnographic examples from A
 merican feminism and Vietnamese Marxism\, it considers some of the ways 
 in which ethical intuitions emerge\, consolidate\, and change\, and argu
 es that objectifications and the reflexivity they facilitate help give e
 thical life a social history. \n\n\n2.016/.017\n\nSecond Floor Boardroom
