\u201cWho Do We Think We Are?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday, March 17 at 4:00 pm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title question of this paper is one I pose provocatively, in order to urge \u201cus\u201d to recognize that integral to much late-twentieth and early twenty-first century thinking are unexamined references to \u201cwe\u201d, to \u201cus\u201d, to \u201cthem\u201d. Who\/what do these referents refer to? Often they seem insignificant and are spoken and heard as epistemically-ontologically neutral, easily interchangeable. My thinking is motivated by a recognition that the seemingly simple \u201cwe\u201d often carries with it a set of uncontested assumptions, taken-for-granted ways of being that may not themselves be innocent or presupposition-free. While it would be cumbersome always to pause and contest such utterances, at times it is vital to do so, in order to understand some of the social-political implications of seemingly neutral assertions. Here I venture on such an exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
