Hi Dominic and Anik,

I?m wondering if you might distribute the message below to your respective departments? It would be great to see as many of you as I can at either or both events! (Also Madeleine and Monica, you are welcome also if you are around!)

Best,

Carrie

Maurizio Meloni is a social theorist and a science and technology studies scholar.

Revitalizing the History of Biopolitics: Porous Bodies, Environmental Biopower, and the Politics of Life in Ancient Rome
The case for an unprecedented penetration of life mechanisms into the politics of Western modernity has been a cornerstone of twentieth-century social theory. Working with and beyond Foucault, this paper challenges established views about the history of biopower by focusing on ancient medical writings and practices of corporeal permeability. Through an analysis of three Roman institutions: a) bathing; b) urban architecture; and c) the military, it shows that technologies aimed at fostering and regulating life did exist in Classical antiquity at the scale of population. The paper highlights zones of indistinction between natural and political processes, zo? and b?os, that are not captured by a view of destructive incorporation of or over life by sovereign power (Agamben) or are otherwise lost in polarized views of antiquity as rigidly divided between a private and a public sphere (Arendt). It points also to a much more substantial evidence for the government of the collective body of citizens and their health than Foucault assumed in his writings on pagan antiquity (1985, 1990). In conclusion, I argue that unlike the modernistic instrumentalization of bodies and nature, ancient biopower is a heterogeneous assemblage of sensitive bodies, cosmological powers, and material devices. It is an enchanted cosmobiopolitics of humans and non-humans alike that may be theoretically significant for contemporary rediscovery of the agential power of things and tropes of biological plasticity in post-liberal and post-humanist view of politics.

Title: Sarita Rosenstock (ANU)
Title: A Category Theoretic Framework for Physical RepresentationAbstract:  
It is increasingly popular for philosophers of science to use category  
theory, the mathematical theory of structure, to adjudicate debates about  
the (in)equivalence of formal physical theories. In this talk, I discuss  
the theoretical foundations of this strategy. I introduce concept of a  
?representation diagram" as a way to scaffold narrative accounts of how  
mathematical gadgets represent target systems, and demonstrate how their  
content can be effectively summarised by what I call a ?structure  
category". I argue that the narrative accounts contain the real content of  
an act of physical representation, and the category theoretic methodology  
serves only to make that content precise and conducive to further  
analysis.&nbsp;In particular, one can use tools from category theory to  
assess whether one physical formalism thus presented has  
more "properties", "structure", or "stuff" than another.&nbsp;NB: Tea at  
15:15 in the Philosophy Common Room!

Title: Redressing imbalances in the kind of research that gets done and who  
gets credit for it

Abstract: If we want good work to get done, we should credit those who do  
it. In science and philosophy, researchers are credited predominantly via  
authorship on publications. But many contributions to modern research are  
not recognized with authorship, due in part to the high bar imposed by the  
authorship criteria of many journals. ?Contributorship? is a more inclusive  
framework for indicating who did what in the work described by a paper, and  
many scientific journals have recently implemented versions of it. Should  
philosophy implement similar reforms? I will describe one scientist?s  
perspective (mine) on some of the reasons for and problems of  
contributorship in science, with some tentative comments regarding how  
philosophy is, and perhaps should be, done differently.
