SUMMARY:51. teoreetilise bioloogia kevadkool “Tervikute teooria”
DESCRIPTION:Mokko maahotellis\, Änkküla\, Jõgevamaa \n\n\n\nJärjekorras 51. teoreetilise bioloogia kevadkool kannab pealkirja „Tervikute teooria“. Seekord arutame tervikute ja terviklikkuse üle elussüsteemides. Seda kõikidel organiseerituse tasanditel\, nagu ikka – alates molekulaar-\, raku-\, arengu- ja neurobioloogiast kuni eri tasandite ökosüsteemide süsteemibioloogiani. Kevadkoolis kuuleme tervikute käistlemise teooriast ja ajaloost\, organismi käsitlemise erinevatest tasemetest\, terviklikest ja mitteterviklikest ökosüsteemidest ning determinismist. Juttu teevad muuhulgas Silver Rattasepp\, Mario Plaas\, Toivo Maimets\, Ülo Maiväli ja paljud teised. Lisaks sellele saab iga osaleja mahuka Schola Biotheoretica kogumiku\, kus leidub nii algupäraseid tekste tervikutest\, aga ka näiteks tõlkeid Walter Elsasserilt ja Stephen Jay Gouldilt. \n\n\n\nNii nagu eelmistel aastatelgi saab kevadkoolis osaleja lisaks uutele ja põnevatele teadmistele kosutada oma vaimu looduses või õhtusel koosviibimisel saunaga! Tartust viib kevadkooli reede lõunal buss ja toob ka pühapäeval Tartusse tagasi. \n\n\n\nRegistreeri SIIN. Registreerimise tähtaeg on 17. aprill 2025. \n\n\n\nKontakt: Hans Vellama\, hans.vellama@ut.ee \n\n\n\nEesti doktorikooli Loodusteaduste ja põllumajandusteaduste haru.

SUMMARY:Spekulatiivsed fiktsioonid kultuuris ja ühiskonnas
DESCRIPTION:Tartu Ülikoolis\, Lossi 3-319 \n\n\n\nFiktsionaalseid spekulatsioone seondatakse valdavalt kirjanduse ja kunstidega\, kuid samas märgib üha suurem arv ühiskonnateadlasi\, et tänapäevast ühiskondlikku reaalsust kujundab üha enam kõrge riskiga spekulatiivne rahandus\, mille toimemehhanismid jäävad enamuse inimeste jaoks raskesti hoomatavaks. Nagu kirjanduski\, peab ka rahandus kasutama erinevaid jutustamisstrateegiaid\, millega manatakse esile erinevaid võimalikke tulevikke. Enam või vähem spekulatiivsete tulevike analüüsimiseks on aga kirjanduse ja kultuuriuuringute vallas välja kujunenud tõhus kriitiline aparatuur. Seega on just kultuuritekstide kaudu ka võimalik ligi pääseda keerukale majanduslikule reaalsusele. Intensiivseminari eesmärgiks on uurida\, kuidas saab spekulatiivsusest läbistatud reaalsust kirjanduse ja muude kunstide abil analüüsida ja mõtestada. Rahvusvahelistele näidetele toetudes küsime kas kunstidel on võimalik pakkuda välja kriitilisi sekkumisi või alternatiivseid tulevikke. \n\n\n\nLisaks välislektorite loengutele ja seminaridele saavad doktorandid reageerida ettekannetele ja seminaridele välkettekande vormis. Mõtteid elavdab ümarlaud\, kus Eesti kultuuriväljal aktiivsed loojad avavad oma kogemusi ühiskondlikult keerukate teemade kujutamisel. \n\n\n\nProgramm \n\nLaupäev\, 26. aprill \n12:00-12:15  Tervitus ja sissejuhatus \n\n\n\n12:15-13:15  Mathias Nilges (St. Francis Xavier University): “Naming the Things that are Absent”: On Speculation and/as Critique (loeng) \n\n\n\n13:15-13:45  Arutelu \n\n\n\n13:45-15:00  Lõuna \n\n\n\n15:00-16:30  Mathias Nilges (St. Francis Xavier University): Fictions of Real Life (töötuba) \n\n\n\n16:30-17:00  Kohvipaus \n\n\n\n17:00-19:00  Ümarlaud loovpraktika vaadetest sotsiaalsete probleemide uurimisel (Tarmo Jüristo\, Sveta Grigorjeva) – ümarlaud toimub Vildes ja Vines \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPühapäev\, 27. aprill \n10:00-11:00  Sherryl Vint (University of California\, Riverside): Choose Your Own Reality: Speculative Politics and Science Fiction Apotheosis (loeng) \n\n\n\n11:00-11:30    Arutelu \n\n\n\n11:30-12:00   Kohvipaus \n\n\n\n12:00-13:30   Sherryl Vint (University of California\, Riverside): Speculative Realities and Fictional Affordances (töötuba) \n\n\n\n13:30-14:30   Lõuna \n\n\n\n14:30-16:00   Tudengite arvamused ja sekkumised \n\n\n\n16:00-16:30   Kokkuvõtted \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEsinejad: \n\n\n\n\nProf. Mathias Nilges\, St. Francis Xavier Univeristy \n\n\n\n\nLoeng: “Naming the Things that are Absent”: On Speculation and/as Critique \n\n\n\nThis talk will examine the key questions that underwrite this event: can literature\, the novel\, and speculative fiction in particular offer us ways to make meaning of and critically interrogate material reality and help us imagine future alternatives? Can speculative fiction help us make sense of the age of speculative capitalism and indeed of a moment when speculation itself has been seized and grotesquely\, cynically distorted by the far right? Certainly\, many of us would like to believe that literature can do this—but how\, exactly? And how do we engage with such questions in a moment when both literary critics and authors of speculative fiction have insisted that neither novels nor political scholarship in the humanities can save us or have any meaningful effect material or political reality? Answering such broader questions convincingly and in a way that responds to growing skepticism toward the political function (and value) of both literature and literary criticism requires us to grapple with a series of uncomfortable questions that ask us to clearly articulate the basic relations and definitions on which our arguments can rest. How\, for instance\, can the novel make aspects of contemporary capitalism thinkable when crucial aspects of reality have become inconceivable—say\, the time of digital capitalism? And how\, in turn\, can speculative fiction generate critical thought that responds to its anti-utopian inverse: the heavily-policed\, materially and historically specific boundary of the realistic and the conceivable beyond which we must journey if we are to deal with the contradictory futurity of capitalist speculation and the climate emergency? The political work of speculative fiction today can be understood in relation to these foundational questions and problems\, by tracing how speculation as critique emerges from the effort to “name the things that are absent” and to “describe so that we might know.” In this talk\, I’ll propose that we may understand the function of speculative fiction as connected to the formal struggle with those moments of seeming impossibility or inconceivability when our words\, images\, and ideas\, our established vocabularies and forms of imagination appear to be lacking and when utopian world-building reveals itself as an important form of critique. \n\n\n\nTöötuba: Fictions of Real Life \n\n\n\nMathias Nilges is Professor of English at St. Francis Xavier University\, Canada. His books include How to Read a Moment: The American Novel and the Crisis of the Present and Futures of Literary Studies (co-edited with Tim Lanzendörfer). He is currently working on a book project on the politics of literature and criticism in the context of the climate emergency and neo-authoritarianism. A portion of this project\, an essay that examines the climate novel\, has recently been published in South Atlantic Quarterly (https://doi.org/10.1215/00382876-11557801). \n\n\n\n\nProf. Sherryl Vint\, University of California\, Riverside \n\n\n\n\nLoeng: Choose Your Own Reality: Speculative Politics and Science Fiction Apotheosis \n\n\n\nMy paper engages with Marc Andreesen’s “Techno-Optimism Manifesto” as exemplar of the mix of libertarianism\, science fiction (sf)\, and neoliberal profiteering defines Silicon Valley and its colonization of our capacity to imagine the future at all. Far beyond the “capitalist realism” that Mark Fisher has described as our inability to believe in a world after neoliberalism\, Silicon Valley approaches the future as in need of disruption\, fetishized as both optimization and freedom. Andreesen’s manifesto goes beyond the Cold War conflation of market freedoms with democracy to suggest that the entwined projects of industrialization and colonialism mark the birth of a superior civilization\, reinforcing transhumanist logics by which those who master such technology are regarded as superior version of humanity\, whose “descendants will live in the stars” instead of “living in mud huts.” As much a manifesto of market fundamentalism as one of techno-optimism\, Andreesen’s vision seeks to naturalize neoliberal logics and technological determinism as he promotes the magical power of the artificial intelligence as a “universal problem solver\,” part of a Silicon Valley political discourse known as “effective accelerationism.” Yet Andreesen also describes it as “alchemy” and a “Philosopher’s Stone\,” revealing the degree to which this manifesto is a kind of speculative fiction\, a discursive vision of a possible world articulated as an exercise in world-shaping rhetoric\, even a new religious framework that centers tech billionaires as a new priestly cast able to intercede between humanity and our new AI gods. I read this manifesto as a clear statement of Silicon Valley’s conflation of capitalist accumulation with human progress\, using the rhetorical tools of science fiction to cultivate an affective investment in this future as (if it were) inclusive\, abundant\, and desirable. Directly alluding to Marinetti’s “Futurist Manifesto\,” Andreessen’s proclamation similarly seeks to ushes in a new political reality that destroys the institutions of liberal government and insists that the market and the “techno capital machine” are the sole institutions of required for a flourishing civilization. Andreesen’s market is a science-fictional creature\, “a discovery machine\, a form of intelligence\,” and his manifesto is simultaneously a work of speculative fiction\, a pitch for his venture capitalist investment in AI\, and an invitation to abandon the liberal world and inhabit a live-action roleplay reality in which the singularity will save us.  \n\n\n\nTöötuba: Speculative Realities and Fictional Affordances \n\n\n\nSherryl Vint is Professor of Media and Cultural Studies\, and a Professor and the Chair of English\, at the University of California\, Riverside.
