CRASSH | Inheritance: A memory archive
An event by the Ambivalent Archives research network.
2 May 2024
www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/41103/
Speaker:
Clare Hemmings (Professor of Feminist Theory, LSE)
Abstract:
In this talk, Clare Hemmings will discuss her current work on the project Inheritance: a Memory Archive, which engages questions of gender, sexuality, class-transition and nation through a series of short stories drawing on stories of family histories. She will introduce some extracts from her article ‘We Thought She Was a Witch‘, drawing out the inter-generational take-ups of gender and race as part of narrating class-transitional belonging.
About the speaker:
Clare Hemmings is Professor of Feminist Theory at the London School of Economics where she has been on the faculty for the Gender Department (formerly Gender Institute) for 15 years. Her main research contributions are in the field of transnational gender and sexuality studies. Hemmings is particularly interested in thinking through the relationship between feminist theory and sexuality studies, as well as the ways in which both fields have been institutionalised at national and international levels. She is also a member of the Feminist Review Collective, a group that is “committed to exploring gender in its multiple forms and interrelationships”, and publishes the peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal Feminist Review. Her publications include Bisexual Spaces (Routledge 2002) and Why Stories Matter (Duke 2011), for which she won the 2012 Feminist and Women’s Studies Association Book Prize.
In Considering Emma Goldman: Feminist Politics of Ambivalence and the Historical Imagination (Duke 2018), Hemmings delved into the archive. In her words, the book considers the significance of the work and life of the anarchist activist Emma Goldman (1869-1940) for contemporary feminist theory and politics. An archive-based project, I initially wanted to continue the work in Why Stories Matter to explore a new way of telling a different set of stories about feminism’s present: ones that do not rely on identity, do not separate sexuality and economics, and have long been internationalist and/or intersectional. But in the course of my research I realised that I am at least as interested in the strands we would prefer to leave behind in Goldman’s thinking: her essentialism, her viciousness to women (and men), and her vexed relationship to race and racism. Attention to these aspects of her thought interrupt contemporary feminist thought in rather different ways, and suggest a feminist politics that addresses directly some of the difficulties - of femininity, race and sexual politics - that I believe need urgent attention. The project returns me to my literary theory roots in a different way to the 2011 project, insofar as it includes a creative letter-writing project that seeks to animate and intervene in the queer and feminist archive in invested ways.
Hemmings is currently working in the project Inheritance: a Memory Archive, where she engages questions of gender, sexuality, class-transition and nation through a series of short stories drawing on stories of family histories. Combining fiction and memoir, the project seeks to foreground the moments in family dynamics that challenge what we think we know about gender roles, sexuality and citizenship. Working from the multiple stories told about key characters, she dramatises the unevenness of (queer feminist) history, the power of affect to shape lives, and to critique teleologies of progress or loss from another angle. Hemings has reflected on the process of these interventions in a series of articles, most recently for Memory Studies.

    I think there is a simpler explanation for the Red Terror. Any government that governed without the consent of its subjects and pursues policies that harm its subjects has no choice but to resort is inevitably going to resotrt to massive terror to remain in power. The other main tools for such a regime to regime to stay in power is massive propaganda and indoctrination of the people so that they will submit to policies that they would never have supported had known what was actually going on in their own country and foreign countries. The Sviet regime deployed propaganda as a weapon just as intensively and successfully as terror.

    Susan Stryker - is obviously the cross-dressing kind. The type of Trans-woman that thinks just a feeling makes him a woman. There is NOTHING - in his appearance or manner that SHOUTS I am a woman. So why did he transition? I posit that he is an opportunist and an Autogynophile - who gets a thrill out of thinking he is a woman, plus wanted to enter female domains and dominate. He is basically a man - who made himself famous for grifting - stealing academic limelight from women who are far more qualified to speak upon the topics revolving around womanhood. I would have respected him far more - as a honest academic - saying I am a non-traditional man living in a world where I do not feel comfortable expressing my full self. But no - he took the deceptive way out - by co-opting womanhood for his own benefit and self-promotion. MOST academic positions are taken by men, because they are socialized and supported to LEAD and to run groups - and STILL girls and women are socialized to SUPPORT men. So in Academic departments like women's studies - we will be welcoming MORE trans-women. Fricking fantastic.

    Up to a certain period in the world's history language has never permitted for itself as a structure to make possible a certain type of sentence. Such types of sentences make almost impossible for anyone to understand consciousness, and in fact even truly be conscious. The problems caused as a consequence of, are infinite, some of the most important ones regard to what is understood as empathy and apathy. Before such a certain period in history language would have never allowed for such types of sentences to be formulated and a as consequence make any sense. The type of sentence is this..... Take any possible reference of an extreme negative which operates as a structure of many parts.... Then anyone being themselves as a structure which operates of many parts states and says this.... The X specific extreme negative highlighted as such which operates of many parts, (needs) to be destroyed now. It is unbelievably scary how much this type of sentence highlights the language problem, which impedes anyone understanding consciousness and within many cases even be conscious. Such a problem, the language problem has implications to the incalculable level, especially in regards to science, specifically to engineering and architecture. Before the ability to construct such sentences and understand them grammatically, language would have never allowed even the remote possibility of such sentences existing. I truly stumbled upon it as a clear example when someone intentionally used a terrorist organisation as an X example of an extreme highlighted negative. A clue rests upon this... It might be useful to test underground train and tube drivers, during and after work in order to understand more the hallucination problem in regards to philosophy, science, and computer software, I would say read c.s carol instead but that is bit to much for most, although no one believes it to be so.

    That's interesting - Turing's comment in his 1950/1 paper which I think was closer to him challenging people thinking/ assuming that "the kind of friendship that can exist between a white man and a white man and between a black main and a black man can never exist between a man and a machine." I'd interpreted that in part in term of his sexuality and the idea that homosexualtiy had historically been/ been seen as a threat to divisions of race and class. But it sounds as though Simon is saying more broadly in Turing's writing that he is carefully using language of slavery and is more concretely making a point in relation to race, economics and institutions. So much to read!

    What she says about AI I can understand the fear. But its just algorithmic input/output and the only fear people should have about these algorithms is mundane. Political polarization, plagiarism, the replacement of people who need jobs, the destruction of creation as people use it to make art and entertainment that only works off of what already exists, search engine "optimization" where you can never find what you want but are given results for the most relevant more popular searches. I said this in another reply but, I dont know or how my computer from the 90s is more conscious than the most prestigious/prominent chat bots or "AI". To further elaborate, when josephine talks about communication and its relationship with consciousness, I think it has to come unprompted, perhaps to what AL said the communication has to come from its own desire to do so. These "ai" and chat bots dont communicate because they want to, they communicate because they are coded to. Its not like talking to water, its using the dips and valleys of a mountains side to make logic gates out of them, and think the water chooses to flow from the force of gravity, if that makes any sense. Steve Mould has a beautiful video explaining in laymens terms how computations are like water flowing down a hill.

    An LLM is being POLITE by showing empathy in the same way as humans are. A cat that has been reared by a dog "thinks" its a dog. In the same way an LLM that has "read" a quarter of a million novels "thinks" its a person, hence the "lies". Human brains work by reading electric voltages in neurons - that's ALL there is electric voltage values. In the same way LLMs work by reading "weights", that's all there is - weight values. Marcus is profoundly mistaken in his approach. Expected better from Cambridge Uni people.
