  1. Cancel Culture: an Essentially Contested Concept?Claudio Novelli - 2023 - Athena - Critical Inquiries in Law, Philosophy and Globalization 1 (2):I-X.
    Cancel culture is a form of societal self-defense that becomes prominent particularly during periods of substantial moral upheaval. It can lead to the polarization of incompatible viewpoints if it is indiscriminately demonized. In this brief editorial letter, I consider framing cancel culture as an essentially contested concept (ECC), according to the theory of Walter B. Gallie, with the aim of establishing a groundwork for a more productive discourse on it. In particular, I propose that intermediate agreements and principles (...)

    Cancel Culture and the Trope of the Scapegoat: A Girardian Defense of the Importance of Contemplative Reading.Joakim Wrethed - 2022 - Contagion: Journal of Violence, Mimesis, and Culture 29 (1):15-37.
    In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:Cancel Culture and the Trope of the ScapegoatA Girardian Defense of the Importance of Contemplative ReadingJoakim Wrethed (bio)What unfolds in this article encompasses violence, language/reading, and ethics. René Girard addresses these topics primarily in terms of mimesis, its potential violence, and the trope of the scapegoat. Still, toward the end of his career and life, he relentlessly pointed out the dangers implicated in the dynamism of these forces. (...)

  3. Cancel Culture, Then and Now: A Platonic Approach to the Shaming of People and the Exclusion of Ideas.Douglas R. Campbell - 2023 - Journal of Cyberspace Studies 7 (2):147-166.
    In this article, I approach some phenomena seen predominantly on social-media sites that are grouped together as cancel culture with guidance from two major themes in Plato’s thought. In the first section, I argue that shame can play a constructive and valuable role in a person’s improvement, just as we see Socrates throughout Plato’s dialogues use shame to help his interlocutors improve. This insight can help us understand the value of shaming people online for, among other things, their morally (...)

    Microaggressions, cancel culture, safe spaces, and academic freedom: A private property rights argumentation.Philipp Bagus, Frank Daumann & Florian Follert - 2024 - Business Ethics, the Environment and Responsibility 33 (3):523-534.
    Science is critical and thrives on discourse. However, new challenges for science and academic freedom have arisen from an often-discussed cancel culture and an increasing demand for safe spaces, which are justified by their assumed protection against microaggressions. These phenomena can impede scientific progress and innovation by prohibiting certain thought processes and heterodox ideas that eventually result in new ideas, publications, statements, etc. In this paper, we use the approach of property rights ethics to shed light on these phenomena, (...)

    Cancel Culture as a Tool of Social Influence.К Палій - 2024 - Philosophical Horizons 48:61-69.
    Cancel culture necessitates a thorough examination for optimizing the efficacy of reputation management and societal influence. It’s essential to assess its effectiveness in driving social change, recognize ethical nuances, and pinpoint potential issues. Originally a value-driven phenomenon, it has evolved into a manipulative tool, amplifying societal emotions. Despite attempts at crisis communication, it often fails to alleviate the consequences for individuals or businesses subjected to «cancellation». The purpose of the study. The article explores cancel culture as a mechanism (...)

  6. Situating Cancel Culture.Lara Millman - 2023 - Social Philosophy Today 39:119-137.
    Many view cancellation as a method for holding influential personalities accountable for bad behavior, while others think cancelling amounts to censorship and bullying. I hold that neither of these accounts are worth pursuing, especially if the aim is social progress. In this paper, I offer a situated account of cancellation and cancel culture, locating the phenomenon in our exclusionary history while examining the social dynamics of belief. When we situate cancel culture, we can see how problematic instances of (...)

  8. Technosocial disruption, enactivism, & social media: On the overlooked risks of teenage cancel culture.Janna Bertchen Van Grunsven & Lavinia Marin - 2024 - Technology in Society 78.
    In a world undergoing rapid, large-scale technological change, the phenomenon of technosocial disruption is receiving increasing scholarly and societal attention. While the phenomenon is most actively delineated in philosophy of technology, it is also receiving growing attention within a different area of philosophy, namely the so-called “4E Cognition” approach to philosophy of mind. Despite this shared interest in technosocial disruption, there is relatively little exchange between the theorizing going on in these two different areas of philosophy. One of our paper's (...)

  10. The Moral Implications of Cancel Culture.Jenny Janssens & Lotte Spreeuwenberg - 2022 - Ethical Perspectives 29 (1):89-114.
    What are the moral implications of cancel culture? If it is viewed as a means to achieve social justice, we might be more inclined to say that cancel culture is morally good. However, one could argue that cancel culture has too harsh consequences or involves immoral – even hateful – behaviour. We propose that cancel culture is used as an umbrella term for (at least) two different kinds of ‘cancelling’. Cancelling is often seen in public debate (...)

    Education in a cultural war era: thinking philosophically about the practice of cancelling.Mordechai Gordon - 2022 - New York, NY: Routledge.
    In the past couple of years, much has been said and written in the media about the notion of 'cancel culture' and the way in which various celebrities, journalists, politicians, ideas, and monuments have been cancelled. Yet, the conversations taking place on this issue have been largely uninformed, lacking intellectual rigor, and devoid of the historical and cultural context that could help make the contested debates more enlightening. The author investigates the phenomenon of cancelling historically as well as how (...)

    Žižek at the Buchmesse: Evil, Cancel Culture, and the Difficulty of Diversity.Christof Royer - 2024 - Theory, Culture and Society 41 (7-8):177-189.
    This article argues that Slavoj Žižek’s provocative speech at the Frankfurt Book Fair was a political event of the first order. Described as a major scandal triggered by Žižek’s remarks on the Israel-Hamas war, the speech was much more than a deliberate provocation. It provides a window into a world that had become unhinged long before the conflict erupted anew. It offers an opportunity to observe the complex relationship between individuals, institutions, and society. It continues to be a cautionary tale (...)

    Féminismes et « convergence des luttes » au temps de la Covid-19 et de la cancel culture.Réjane Sénac - 2021 - Diogène n° 267-267 (3-4):234-253.
    Le mouvement de réappropriation des espaces physiques et virtuels de parole pour dénoncer les injustices et ceux qui les commettent a pris des formes multiples : de l’occupation de places publiques à la libération de la parole contre les violences systémiques, sexistes et racistes en particulier, via des mouvements comme #MeToo et #OnVeutRespirer. Les féminismes contemporains s’inscrivent ainsi dans un contexte de mobilisation caractérisé par la défiance vis-à-vis d’une démocratie représentative perçue comme confisquée par les élites et par un horizon (...)

    Strategien der Moderne: Gesellschaftliche Debatten von den 1920er-Jahren bis zur »Cancel Culture«.Christopher Jakob Rudoll - 2023 - transcript Verlag.
    Nicht erst seit dem Aufkommen des Begriffs der »Cancel Culture« scheint es, als könne man schlicht nicht mehr miteinander reden. Die unterschiedlichen Konzeptionen von Ziel und Methode, also von der Strategie gesellschaftlicher Auseinandersetzungen, variieren so stark, dass sie schlicht nicht mehr kommensurabel sind. Diese Situation lässt sich als das Resultat einer langen Geschichte strategischer Entwürfe und Gegenentwürfe begreifen. Christopher Jakob Rudoll gibt anhand der Beispiele von Marxismus, Katholizismus und Feminismus einen systematischen Überblick über Debattenkulturen in Theorie und Praxis seit (...)

    Artistic creativity in the cultural diplomacy: opportunities and boundaries.Глаголев В.С Чупрова И.А. - 2024 - Philosophy and Culture (Russian Journal) 6:1-10.
    The subject of the study is the semantic content of cultural diplomacy. The relevance of addressing this topic is determined by the specifics of the current stage of development of international relations, when cultural diplomacy finds itself in a situation of sharply narrowed opportunities amid the intensification of counterproductive strategies of “cancel culture.” The purpose of the work is to trace the features of the disclosure of values and meanings of the period of recent sociocultural turbulence. The objectives of (...)

    Attempts at a Marxist Critique of Cancellation.SuddhaSatwa GuhaRoy - 2024 - Moral Philosophy and Politics.
    This paper advances a Marxist critique of the politics of cancellation and raises concerns about the possible development of a cancel culture. Rather than delving into debates on freedom of speech, crucial though they are, this paper focuses on the pragmatics of the political tool – its goals, mechanisms, effects, and the underlying reasoning. From a Marxist perspective, it is essential to analyse cancellation and cancel culture holistically, considering their rationale, the mechanism, the objectives, and the impacts, along (...)

    To Cancel or Not to Cancel? – Questioning the Russian Idea.George Pattison - forthcoming - Studia Philosophica Estonica:146-155.
    Taking its cue from Vladimir Putin’s use of Dostoevsky to support his critical view of Western culture, the article challenges the view that Dostoevsky can be straightforwardly corralled into the Russian President’s nationalistic and imperialistic agenda. Instead, it follows the approach taken by George Lukacs in response to National Socialism’s self-representation as the authentic inheritor of the German cultural tradition, namely, to show that any great cultural work is going to be resistant to the kind of one-dimensional interpretations typical of (...)

    Decolonization of Ukrainian Culture: Vouk Policy or National Awakening?Olga Gomilko - 2023 - Filosofska Dumka (Philosophical Thought) 3:49-58.
    The article is devoted to the decolonization of Ukrainian culture as an important factor of nation-building in the European perspective. At the same time, decolonization is a current trend in Western academic thought, which is embodied in social activism, in particular, in the wok movement and the culture of abolition. Postcolonial studies has become an intellectual battleground. These studies draw a new front line in the culture wars. Rethinking Western culture in light of its imperial expansionist past defines the goal (...)

    Politische Freiheit.Julian Nida-Rümelin - 2021 - Archiv für Rechts- und Sozialphilosophie 107 (1):29-41.
    Political Liberty is presently under stress for different reasons, two of them are: the erosion of civic culture and the policies chosen to restrict Covid-19. In this article I develop an account of political liberty that is bound to core concepts of humanistic anthropology and metaphysical freedom (I). On this conceptual basis I discuss two actual challenges of political liberty: cancel culture (II) and anti-pandemic state measures (III).

    Cultural pluralism in the Balkans has often been considered as the source of conflict in the region. Against this perspective it is suggested that Enlightenment political thought in southeastern Europe, as represented by the radical republicanism of Rhigas Velestinlis , incorporated the idea of cultural pluralism in a project for a unitary democratic state, modelled on the 'Republic of Virtue', that was expected to replace despotism and to transform its subjects into free citizens. The political culture of this state would (...)

    Know it while you have it: The Ontological Condition of a Cancelled Advertisement.William Large - 2016 - Journal of the British Society for Phenomenology 47 (1):72-86.
    ABSTRACTIt is well known that advertising and branding co-opts counter culture to sell commodities, but in this article we uncover the ontological conditions for such an appropriation. We investigate a particular example of contemporary advertising, the Levis commercial “Legacy – Now is our Time“, which was subsequently pulled because of the British riots of that year, as a historical situated and saturated moment. This article employs Benjamin's notion of the phantasmagoria to uncover the messianic possibilities of a future hidden in (...)

    Socio-cultural foundations of discourse and modern transformation.Serhii Proleiev - 2022 - Filosofska Dumka (Philosophical Thought) 2:67-82.
    The article considers the place and role of discourse in human life. The basis for this is the im- portance of language and speech as one of the leading features of humanity. Thanks to language, a person’s own reality is formed, which has a semantic character. Four dimensions of the effect of speech in the constitution of the human world are identified. These are: the function of se- mantic productivity and reliability of speech; function of organization and accumulation of ex- (...)

    Avicenna among medieval jews the reception of avicenna's philosophical, scientific and medical writings in jewish cultures, east and west.Gad Freudenthal & Mauro Zonta - 2012 - Arabic Sciences and Philosophy 22 (2):217-287.
    The reception of Avicenna by medieval Jewish readers presents an underappreciated enigma. Despite the philosophical and scientific stature of Avicenna, his philosophical writings were relatively little studied in Jewish milieus, be it in Arabic or in Hebrew. In particular, Avicenna's philosophical writings are not among the “Hebräische Übersetzungen des Mittelalters” – only very few of them were translated into Hebrew. As an author associated with a definite corpus of writings, Avicenna hardly existed in Jewish philosophy in Hebrew. Paradoxically, however, some (...)

    Last Bauman/lost Bauman: Fifty years on - Sketches in the Theory of Culture(1968) – The suppressed and now final book of Zygmunt Bauman (2018). [REVIEW]Peter Beilharz - 2020 - Thesis Eleven 159 (1):128-132.
    Zygmunt Bauman said of 1968 that he could not empathize with the enthusiasm of the Western Left, that this was some kind of party. In Eastern Europe 1968 stood for an end, not a hope. Soon Bauman would be forced into exile, opening a new and brilliant phase of his intellectual trajectory. Sketches in the Theory of Culture was his last Polish book. It was suppressed in 1968, the contract cancelled in retaliation against his support for reforming politics. Now it (...)

    The making of the modern subject: A cross‐cultural analysis.Guoping Zhao - 2007 - Educational Theory 57 (1):75-88.
    The postmodern critique of modernity has focused on the construction of the modern subject and the self‐disciplining and self‐cancellation tendencies within it. This critique, however, fails to consider what happens during the early years of children’s development — the period during which the modern subject is made, and the one in which the paradoxes and ambiguities inherent in modern subjectivity are established. In this essay Guoping Zhao analyzes how children’s developmental process affects the definition and formation of the self in (...)

    Philosophy of Fame and Celebrity.Catherine M. Robb, Alfred Archer & Matthew Dennis (eds.) - 2024 - Bloomsbury.
    In an era of cancel culture, digital identities and thriving conversation surrounding parasocial relationships, we question today the nature of the celebrity, the scope of their power and influence, as well as the ethical issues these implicate.

    Moral agency within social structures and culture: a primer on critical realism for Christian ethics.Daniel K. Finn (ed.) - 2020 - Washington, DC: Georgetown University Press.
    Christian ethics has from the beginning been concerned with moral agency and culture, and Christian social ethics has acknowledged the power of social structures for the last 150 years. But ethics has yet to employ extensively the resources of that discipline that specializes in understanding structure and culture: sociology. Out of a concern to defend human freedom, Catholic social teaching has employed an individualistic approach that misdescribes the characteristics of social evil as little more than the sum of individual choices (...)

    In quale rapporto sono oggi storia e memoria e in che modo esse agiscono nel discorso pubblico?

E interrogarsi sulla necessità di aprire una fase di riflessione più ampia sulle politiche della violenza agite tra Otto e Novecento dagli Stati in tutto il mondo, in primo luogo sul colonialismo.

In the Swedish context, empty accusations against public cultural institutions of “wokeist” bias and “cancel culture” have found support in a public report from the governmental Agency for Cultural Policy Analysis, which claims that national public funding bodies are imposing politically correct demands on their applicants, with a “detrimental influence” on the freedom (...)

Instead, my contribution will revolve around two arguments: one is that both critique and explanation exhibit characteristics we commonly attribute (...)

    Academic freedom and Netflix’s ‘The Chair’: Implications for staff-student dialogue.Claire Skea - 2023 - Educational Philosophy and Theory 55 (12):1351-1362.
    Academic freedom is seriously under threat. Here I will consider how the marketisation of Higher Education has exacerbated the decline of ‘academic freedom’. While the effects of a ‘cancel culture’ on university provision are difficult to ignore, threats to academic freedom raise a number of questions, such as: ‘who is allowed to speak on campus?’, ‘to whom?’, and ‘about what?’. These questions are fundamental to the academic profession, and therefore have clear implications for teaching and learning in Higher Education. (...)

    Einleitung: Redefreiheit und Kritik: Müssen wir alles tolerieren, was andere sagen?Christine Turza - 2023 - Zeitschrift für Praktische Philosophie 9 (2):243-252.
    Nicht selten wird zum Beispiel in Diskussionen um „Political Correctness“ oder „Cancel Culture“ Kritik an bestimmten Positionen geübt und im Namen der Meinungsfreiheit zugleich Kritik an der eigenen Meinung zurückgewiesen. Offenbar besteht Klärungsbedarf in Bezug darauf, ob und, wenn ja, wann Kritik ebenso wie ihre Zurückweisung berechtigt sind. Hierzu gilt es insbesondere den Zusammenhang eingehender zu betrachten zwischen dem universellen Recht auf Redefreiheit, dessen gesetzlicher Kodifizierung und den ethischen Anforderungen, denen Redebeiträge und deren Kritik unterstehen. In sieben Beiträgen wird (...)

They face opposition of multiple types, including violence, each step of the way and must skillfully (...)

    Taking offence as a civic virtue, on and offline.Miriam Ronzoni - forthcoming - Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy.
    This paper critically assesses Chapters 6 and 7 of On Taking Offence. Chapter 6 defends the idea that an inclination to take offence can be a ‘corrective civic virtue’ against threats to social equality. Chapter 7 argues that the practice of taking offence does not change much when we turn to analysing our lives online. With respect to Chapter 6, I argue that the instrumental vindication of offence-taking as a virtue is in tension with arguments earlier in the book, and (...)

    Ideology! The Fetishes and Disavowals of the Woke and the Conspiratorial.Luke John Howie - 2022 - International Journal of Žižek Studies 16 (1).
    “Woke” and cancel culture have become mainstream methods for ideological leftists to express their sense of hopelessness and frustration. And while many agree that improving social harmony is an admirable goal, policing the use of pronouns while carefully maintaining the status quo of capitalism’s production, destruction and inequality does little to address the underlying structural problems that create the conditions for social disharmony. It is on this point that Žižek finds agreement with commentators on the ideological right. But at (...)

    Pragmatism and Post-Truth.John Fennell - 2024 - European Journal of Pragmatism and American Philosophy 16 (2).
    This paper begins by contrasting two familiar approaches to truth and justification: realist and anti-realist, in order to indicate, firstly, two important, but diametrically opposed, intuitions they each capture about these notions, and secondly, the epistemological problems they each give rise to: radical scepticism and relativism respectively. It then introduces a third, fallibilist-pragmatist account, which captures each of the important insights of the other two accounts while avoiding their problems. The paper concludes by showcasing how the fallibilist-pragmatist approach differs from (...)

One natural thought is that fans ought to give up the artworks of immoral artists. In Why It's OK to Enjoy the Work of Immoral Artists, Mary Beth Willard argues for a more nuanced view. Enjoying art is part of a well-lived life, so we need good reasons to give it up. And it turns out good reasons (...)

    Wer muss draußen bleiben?Geert Keil & Romy Jaster - 2022 - Deutsche Zeitschrift für Philosophie 70 (3):474-491.
    The Special Focus on invitation policy at universities contains a target article by Romy Jaster and Geert Keil, five commentaries, and a response. The question under discussion is what disqualifies a person from being invited to speak at a university. On liberal, Millian approaches, the epistemic benefits of free speech preclude no-platforming policies. More restrictive approaches demand the exclusion of speakers who are considered racist or otherwise hostile against marginalized groups. Jaster and Keil take a virtue-based approach to invitation policy: (...)

    The Silences of Feeling.Naomi Waltham-Smith - 2022 - Philosophy Today 66 (2):287-306.
    In Le différend Lyotard evocatively describes what remains to be heard as “the silence of feeling.” Setting Lyotard’s différend among a differentiated set of incommensurable family resemblances, including Rancière’s mésentente and Derrida’s différance, this paper argues that le différend même, far from coinciding with itself, points to the re-marks and differs from itself, silencing itself by putting itself under a conditional. This is what gives its particular affective quality that is bound up with address and listening. From this perspective, it (...)

    Canceling, Liberty, and the Dangers to Education.Mordechai Gordon - 2023 - Education and Culture 38 (2):3-25.
    Abstract:This essay explores with the help of the discipline of philosophy of education the educational implications of the practice of canceling individuals or ideas. In particular, it investigates what gets lost or undermined when we cancel various opinions, words, and practices. To advance my argument, I first introduce some basic definitions while analyzing the problem with the notion of cancel culture. Then, I briefly review various historical examples of canceling going back to Socrates. The next part of this (...)

    Grundzüge einer demokratischen Ethik der freien (Wider-)Rede.Marie-Luisa Frick - 2023 - Zeitschrift für Praktische Philosophie 9 (2):253-276.
    Die Frage moralischer und/oder rechtlicher Grenzen der Meinungsfreiheit, der Grenzen des Sagbaren und Tolerierbaren, stellt zunehmend eine gesellschaftliche und politische Metadebatte dar, in der Versuche, komplexe Phänomene des Aushandelns von Grenzen des Zulässigen bzw. Notwendigen semantisch zu fixieren, von erheblichem Lagerdenken zeugen. Wer von „Politischer Korrektheit“, „Cancel Culture“, „Meinungsdiktatur“ oder „Kontaktschuld“ spricht, steht klar auf der einen Seite, so scheint es; wer von „Diskriminierung“, „Rassismus“, „Hassrede“ oder „weißen Privilegien“ spricht, auf der anderen. Vor dem Hintergrund solch verfestigter Diskursbahnen stellt (...)

    Introduction to the Special Issue on Art and Morality and Précis of the Four Books Included in the Symposium.Paloma Atencia-Linares & Derek Matravers - 2022 - British Journal of Aesthetics 62 (4):511-515.
    The relation between art and morality is one of the vexed issues of aesthetics; it has a history at least from Plato and has been written about, or commented on, by most if not all the luminaries in aesthetics—it is not coincidence that one of the most influential papers on these debates is also one of the most cited papers of this journal. Also, the (im)pertinence of moral concerns for the assessment of artworks is arguably one of the most discussed (...)
