Lisbon Wittgenstein Group Lecture
“Doing it right” and “fitting the form”
Some remarks on the ethics and aesthetics of gendered judgements
Camilla Kronqvist (Åbo Akademi University)
Monday, October 20
16:00 – 18:00
NOVA FCSH – Tower B, Room B201
I begin by endorsing two claims about “gender identity”. First, that in so far as we use “gender identity” to talk about the way gender is imposed on a person by their social environment from a third-person perspective, it is better to talk about “gender norms” (cf. Gheaus 2023). Second, that insofar as we use “gender identity” to talk about the way gender is perceived as an expression of an individual from a first-person perspective, it is better to talk about “gender experience” (cf. Chappell 2023). I then suggest that a better way of combining talk about “gender norms and experience” than regarding both as making claims of identity, is to see how they turn on and invoke aesthetic judgements. I use this notion broadly to include direct expressions of experiences of beauty, but also standards that indirectly inform our understanding of what is “fitting”, leaning on some remarks on “fit” by Wittgenstein in relation to logical form, and in his “Lectures on Aesthetics”. I then turn to moral and ethical questions that arise from second-person experiences and judgements that a specified form of life is fitting for people of a particular gender, or that someone does not fit the form. Raising questions about the kind of normativity that surrounds our ways of making sense of sexuality, I consider what, if any, ethical significance we can attach to talk about doing gender “right” or being a “good” boy or girl, woman or man.

Lift & Drag: Exocapitalism Reading Group
What happens when financial abstractions achieve escape velocity from terrestrial constraints? When markets begin to orbit beyond the gravitational pull of human economies?
Join the reading group for the second session of exploration of Exocapitalism: economies with absolutely no limits, by Marek Poliks & Roberto Alonso Trillo (Becoming Press, 2025), where they’ll trace the aerodynamics of capital as it encounters the twin forces of lift — the speculative ascent that carries financial flows beyond earthbound reference points — and drag — not so much resistance to lift but rather the symptoms of a system where humans perform increasingly hollow versions of classical economic relations.
Session 2: Drag (pp. 88 to end)
Thursday, October 23
