SUMMARY:Jesús Rodríguez-Velasco - Explorations in the Medical Humanities: Inventions of the Soul
DESCRIPTION:Heyman Center for the Humanities\, Second Floor Common Room \nSpeaker: Jesús Rodríguez-Velasco\, Professor and Chair of the Department of Latin American and Iberian Cultures\, Columbia University \nRespondent: Rishi Goyal\, Doctor and Scholar \n\n\nHow and why would the legal discipline become interested in the science of the soul? In this talk\, Jesús R. Velasco will offer an idea of the importance of this science of the soul\, its interdisciplinarity\, and some of its theoretical issues. He will focus on one case of juridical appropriation of the science of the soul in which the legislator gives a legal and political reading of the cognitive processes that form Aristotelian aesthetics and ‘psychology’. His main thesis is that the legal appropriation of the soul involves the articulation of systems of mutual surveillance among what medieval law called personae fictae\, or what we normally refer to as the juridical person or the juridical subject. These forms of mutual surveillance are part of a biopolitical and governmental project that lies at the basis of the very configuration of a juridical subject. This configuration gradually erodes the notion of “nature\,” only to replace it with a juridical institution that also carries the name of “nature.” This talk will focus mainly on the Mediterranean discussions about the soul\, the psyche\, cognitive process\, and their appropriation in the realms of theology and law. \n\n\nThis event is part of the series\, Explorations in the Medical Humanities. \nSponsored by The Society of Fellows in the Humanities\, the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society\, and the Center for Science and Society.
