Epistemic Advantage and Epistemic Injustice: Not Necessarily Incompatible.
The Case of Gender Identity
Miriam Ronzoni (University of Manchester)
Wednesday, 15 April
11:00 – 13:00 [WEST / UTC+1]
Colégio Almada Negreiros – Room SE1 & Online
A prominent view within feminist epistemology, whether framed in terms of standpoint theory proper or more loosely, is that marginalised groups enjoy distinctive epistemic advantages in virtue of their social positioning. The epistemic injustice literature, instead, emphasises how marginalisation can generate epistemic disadvantage — especially hermeneutical injustice, where agents struggle to make sense of salient experiences due to gaps in collective interpretive resources. Are these two perspectives irreconcilable? How can marginalisation ground both epistemic advantage and disadvantage? After addressing some attempts to address this tension, the paper makes two points to offer a more robust resolution. First, we should not underestimate how the interpretive confusion generated by hermeneutical injustice can be productive, leading to epistemic advantage in a number of cases. Second, epistemic advantage should be understood in methodological rather than ontological terms. The paper concludes by sketching how this could be applied to the debate on gender identity.

Posthumous Struggle and Transmission
Robin Vanbesien (Sint Lucas School of Arts Antwerp)
Wednesday, 15 April
15:00 – 17:00
Colégio Almada Negreiros – Room SD
People forced into necropolitical mobility who die at Europe’s external borders often experience a “double death”: first physical, then social, as their identities and stories are lost. This ongoing erasure — reinforced by denial and lack of accountability by European authorities — prolongs violence and leaves families and communities in unresolved grief, to which grassroots grief activism responds through practices that serve both as commemoration and as protest. As I explored in my artistic doctoral research Ciné Place-Making — building on Third Cinema — cinema can function as a space to rehearse the collective imagination and place-making of grassroots activism. I extend this inquiry in a feature-length non-fiction film (in development) set along the Drina river (Serbia–Bosnia and Herzegovina border), where three protagonists encounter the spirits of drowned refugees, examining how mourning, strike and protest can restore dignity and connect past and present violence. The central question is: what film methodologies and cinematic languages can sustain the rehearsal of this posthumous struggle and transmission?

EPLab International Workshop
Social Class and Normative Political Theory
Thursday, 16 April
09:30 – 18:00
Colégio Almada Negreiros – Rooms SE1 & SD
Social class inequality used to be a very prominent subject for political theories of justice and equality, with fruitful exchange between sociological research into class and normative theories. While this is still the case within (neo-)Marxism, other sociological approaches to social class, such as Bourdieusian ones, have received much less attention in contemporary theories of justice and equality. These might continue to mention social class, but nowadays often focus more on inequalities connected to other social characteristics and markers, such as gender, ethnicity, race, or sexual orientation. This is the case, too, for the nascent body of theories often grouped under the label “relational (or social) egalitarianism”.
This workshop is dedicated to discussing the normative relevance of social class, drawing on a plurality of different sociological and normative approaches, including, but not restricted to, (neo-)Marxist approaches.
