Vulnerable academic performances
- 2015

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this presentation we would like to reflect on the experience of being a feminist philosopher in the context of Polish Academia. The starting point for our reflections would be our joint project "Feminist New Materialism” that was developed as a part of "Patterns Lectures” programme supported by ERSTE Foundation and WUS Austria and took place in academic year 2014/15 in the Institute of Philosophy, University of Warsaw. Departing from this experience, we aim at providing a material analysis of being a young, feminist academic in Poland. On the one hand, we would like to diagnose and sketch the main power structures tendencies (i.e. neoliberal university in late capitalism, gender backlash, precariousness of early stage researchers, health issues influencing academic performances, phobia against inter/cross/transdisciplinary researches and researchers, establishing frames of "legitimate philosophy/science” versus "intellectual marsh”). Shared bodily vulnerability and "somatechnics of swallowing” to useNikki Sullivan’s term, emerge from our reflections attesting to the urgent need to rethink the way academia is organized (and this exceeds the Polish context). How to address this shared bodily vulnerability in academia? How to shape teaching/learning processes anew? How to organize institutional collaboration (students-academics-university administration)? To answer those questions we would use our concept of "stigmergic politics” and "com(mon)passion” – notions that take their inspiration in new materialist philosophy

- We report the discovery of TO1-2285b, a sub-Neptune-sized planet transiting a nearby (42 pc) M dwarf with a period of 27.3 d. We identified the transit signal from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite photometric data, which we confirmed with ground-based photometric observations using the multiband imagers MuSCAT2 and MuSCAT3. Combining these data with other follow-up observations including high-resolution spectroscopy with the Tillinghast Reflector Echelle Spectrograph, high-resolution imaging with the SPeckle Polarimeter, and radial velocity (RV) measurements with the InfraRed Doppler instrument, we find that the planet has a radius of 1.74 +/- 0.08 R-circle plus, a mass of <19.5 M-circle plus + (95% c.I.), and an insolation flux of 1.54 +/- 0.14 times that of the Earth. Although the planet resides just outside the habitable zone for a rocky planet, if the planet harbors an H2O layer under a hydrogen-rich atmosphere, then liquid water could exist on the surface of the H2O layer depending on the planetary mass and water mass fraction. The bright host star in the near-infrared (K-s = 9.0) makes this planet an excellent target for further RV and atmospheric observations to improve our understanding of the composition, formation, and habitability of sub-Neptune-sized planets.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article offers an investigation of practical and political aspects of new materialism on the basis of texts accepted for publication in Women: A Cultural Review. The authors emphasize various political strategies that appear in the collected essays; above all they stress the practical aspects of theory itself. Theory as praxis is a concept inspired by contemporary philosophers such as Georges Canguilhem, Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault and Donna Haraway. It can also be the basis for a politics of location and it highlights the importance of being situated in specific sociocultural, historical, local and geographical contexts. The authors raised the question of the potential alliances between their specific, Polish context and the possibility of participating in and creating a broader feminist movement, which proves to be possible thanks to a variety of perspectives that are considered important and worth considering in new materialism. In the article, the Polish Kongres Kobiet (‘Women's Congress’) initiative is presented as a platform for feminist activity which combines various kinds of political, social and cultural interests, concerns and goals. Along with the importance of space for feminist politics, the authors consider time as a crucial constituent of feminist activism. Both rethinking the past—tradition, heritage, history—and directing reflection towards the future hopes, possibilities, politics and theories, constitute important characteristics of the new materialism approach. The authors conclude by introducing the notion of the ‘politics of squatting’, which serves as a metaphor for a feminist quest for space and time.
