SUMMARY:Global Philosophy Research Interest Group Talk (Hannah Kim\, Arizona)
DESCRIPTION:The Global Philosophy Research Interest Group is delighted to welcome as guest speaker Hannah Kim\, an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Arizona and a faculty affiliate with the Center for East Asian Studies at Arizona. Dr. Kim\, who also serves as an editor for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy\, works on aesthetics\, metaphysics\, and Asian philosophy. Recently\, she has been bringing together literary theory and close reading with analytic philosophy to study fiction across cultures and media. She also draws from Korean\, Chinese\, and Asian American traditions to globalize analytic aesthetics. \nThis is a hybrid event. Those unable to attend in person can join online: https://utoronto.zoom.us/j/89860390867 \nPasscode: 253466 \nTalk Title\nFiction without Mimesis: A Comparative Philosophy of Fiction \nTalk Abstract\nIs “fiction” a transhistorical and transcultural concept? Currie (2014) says yes.  In this talk\, I argue that an imagination or pretense-based theory of fiction won’t account for classical Chinese conceptions of fiction\, and more generally\, that we ought to be skeptical of a universal notion of fiction because fiction is a concept that responds to a philosophical culture’s given background framework. Observing how classical Chinese (Daoist) metaphysics affected Chinese theories (and practice) of fiction (xiaoshuo)\, for instance\, shows us how considerations other than imagination\, make-believe\, or mimesis can be the basis of a concept of fiction. More broadly\, the comparative approach to fiction shows what the existing assumptions of analytic philosophy of fiction had been\, and how it might reconceptualize its aims and methods.
