On Friday, September 20 th, Tim Kenyon visits the Philosophy Colloquium.
He will be giving his talk, "Cooperative Communication and Audience Tuning" from 2:30pm until 4:00pm in Room A320 of the Clearihue Building. For those who prefer to join online via Zoom, pleaseemail the Graduate Secretary at uvicphil@uvic.cafor the link.
Abstract:
Cooperative impulses in communication sometimes stand in considerable tension with widespread assumptions in the epistemology of testimony. Not only may communicators' attempts at relevance crowdout accuracy, but they may unintentionally tune the content and valence of their testimony to fit their audience's preconceptions. These messages can then influence communicators' own subsequentimpressions and testimony on that topic. In tuning the message for their audience, they also tune themselves. This subtle collaboration on content and the two-way traffic between communicator andaudience – the "saying is believing" effect, audience tuning, and the potential role of a sense of shared reality between communicator and audience in mediating them – provide an additional healthycomplication to our understanding of what social epistemology ought to explain, as it moves, very unevenly, towards a non-ideal approach.
