SOSS Research Seminar Series | The Artist as Political Thinker

How might artists and their artworks contribute to global political theory? In this talk, Martina will discuss her ongoing book project, which is a study of the role of three nineteenth-century painters (Eugène Delacroix, Paul Gauguin, and Juan Luna) in transforming the language and practice of the Enlightenment-born concept of civilization. Artists, she claims, have been involved in empirical processes of political meaning-making: not only have they summarized existing political arguments and presented them more persuasively, but they have also expressed---including in pictorial form---political thought that was original in its historical context. Drawing on speech act theory, the presentation develops a contextualist argument about the under-theorization of art in political theory. It explores how paintings can say and do things, as well as elicit intentional and unintentional effects. It thus explains how a late eighteenth-century Enlightenment sensibility of civilizational critique and imperial scepticism… Contact: socsc_seminar@smu.edu.sg.

SOSS-SEA Seminar Series | Pulling the Strings? Dynastic Ties and Support for Female Candidates in New Democracies

While most women who are elected to office in the Global South are related to male incumbents, we know little about whether voters value female candidates' dynastic ties, and why. We theorize that voters support dynastic female candidates because they believe that male incumbents can continue to rule by “pulling the strings” behind their female relative. We expect voters whose leadership preferences are more aligned with a male incumbent to be more supportive of that incumbent’s female relative running for office. We test these expectations with a survey experiment fielded in post-conflict Mindanao, in the Philippines and Manado, Indonesia. The experiment asked respondents to rate a hypothetical female candidate where we randomized information on whether the candidate's father was a former mayor, military commander, or civilian. We assess whether respondents with stronger support for male leadership and the male incumbent’s professional background are more supportive of dynastic over non-dynastic female candi… Contact: socsc_seminar@smu.edu.sg.
