[spsp-members] January 20th - Bodily Processes in Artisanal Epistemology ...Re: Introducing "Histories of The Body Working Group" ...

[Alok Srivastava]

Hello Philosophers of Science In Practice -

This week, in The Histories-of-the-Body Working Group we consider:

*The body is a site of knowledge production*: Pamela Smith’s chapter
explores artisanal practice of "imitation as a learned bodily habit that
became a cognitive practice and, finally, led to knowledge and the
production of effects."

We will explore: How artisanal artifacts and writings offer avenues for
study of knowledge production practices mediated by the artisan’s body?

(Please find the readings on your website link below. )


January 20th - *Bodily Processes in Artisanal Epistemology*
(All of our meetings take place on Zoom. 6pm CET/ 5pm GMT / 12-noon EST /
9am PST

Please write to me directly if you have questions and want to be added to
our mailing list.
Cheers,
~ Alok
