The Western Carolinian FEATURES November 5, 2018 33 Todd May speaks philosophy of stories and values Ryan Gillig Staff Writer On Thursday, Sept 27, Todd May. a res fessor of philosophy at Clemson Univer- Sity, visited Western arolina University to aeak as part of the Jerry Jackson Lecture in the Hu- manities series. his event started at 6 p.m. and was In room 223 of the Bardo Arts Center. Todd May is a political philoso- pher who writes On topics such as poststructuralism and anarchism. Not only does May talk about philosophy but he teaches it at local nen to inmates. ay is also a philo- sophical advisor on the NBC TV series The Good Place. Throughout our lives, we tell stories, many of them about ourselves. If we re- flect on these stories, we will often see values we hold and values that we may sometimes prefer we didnt hold, said ae May started off this lecture series by reading his pa- per Our Stories and Our Values, which focused on the general idea that the stories people tell can directly reflect the values that they hold, He began by using an example from his personal life about how someone cut him off in traffic and he laid on his horn because he was angry. He reflected that this value he had wasnt immune to external influenc- es. He later went on to say he could reject the value of aggres- sion and choose how to handle the situa- tion differently next time he was in that predicament. | Stories can inspire us to do things or to attain certain values. They either move us in a new direction or further in the same direction said May. May continued with the example of him being cut off and laying on his horn. Instead, this time he added the line and that is why I was late. Now, instead of it being a story about himself, it became a story about how he sees himself or how he likes to be seen by others. In the first situation, he expresses that he is not a person to trifle with on the highway. In the second situa- tion, it expresses that May just isnt a tardy abi any stories that ~ people tell do exactly that because they try to tell stories to make themselves seem happier, or more ad- venturous. Not only do they tell these sto- ries to others but to themselves as well. May then throws out the concept that the audience people tell their stories too can have a big effect on the story itself. _ Tf we're trying to impress a date, we might tell a story that makes us seem interesting or witty or caring, whereas if were trying to justify a dubious act to someone who is udging us (or per- aps ourselves), we might tell a story that makes us out to be without other recourse in the situ- ation. In the latter case, what we are doing is dissociat- ing ourselves from a value we might be associated with and thus implicitly asso- ciated ourselves with a different one said May. For example, a guy goes on a date with a prepared story that he recently saw an old lady get mugged for her purse. In his mind, because he sees himself as a brave person, he fantasies about how he could have saved this old ladys purse. When he meets his date and wants to impress her, he casu- ally brings up this story and tells it ina way that makes him seem braver than he was. Now every time he recounts this story to friends the story has changed from one value to another. Our lives aren't narratives, they are narratable, said May. Over the course of the lecture, May talked a lot about these interesting con- cepts and even took questions from the students and faculty that attended. By the end of this humani- ties lecture, when it came to understand- ing stories and the values derived from them, it appeared that the audience enjoyed his presena- tion. World Languages holds undergraduate showcase Elora DuClos Junior Editor Undergraduate students Ashton Cannon, Julianna Wages and Jansen Haneline presented their findings on Wed. Oct. 24 for the World Languages Undergraduate Research Show- case. The event was hosted by Japanese Studies Coordina- tor and Instructor of Japanese Yumiko Ono and Instructor: of Spanish Garrett Fisher. Cannon, a junior Nursing major and Spanish minor as well as a member of the womens soc- cer team, presented via a recording of herself along with a powerpoint. She discussed the facili- tation of translating with the example of her translation of the 2005 Spanish short film Viaje a Marte or Journey to Mars. Julianna Wages, a junior in the Japanese program, presented on homo- social relationships as well as homosex- uality in Japan and the role of women fafo Talo Pafalele Pee falx 4 Pialal aca is|s| T| utils te] itslelale rel tla. race in Japanese history. Homosociality per- tains to the platonic social relationships between members of the same sex, typi- cally between men. Wages explained that Japan has a strong culture of homosociality and has maintained it for centuries, with the development of the hierarchical senpai and kohai system. This is a system in which the senpai, which translates to older colleague, is the mentor to the younger kohai, which translates to later colleague. This system 1s pres- ent in many aspects of Japanese life, including school and work. Wages also de- scribed ways ho- mosocial relation- ships in Japan are strengthened, including through onsen bonding and karaoke. Onsen or hot spring bonding has been a popular ritual in Japan for thousands of years and serves as a way for people to relax and become closer to their friends and family, usually of fol R ia a ofr. an i Ma ' *) fele|ils " * Eiri ifn falsts[r Crossword puzzles provided by BestCrosswords.com (http://www.bestcrosswords.com).

Homosexuality in Japan, Wages ex- plained, has gener- ally been accepted for hundreds to even thousands of years, specifically in men, though due to a period of time when homosexuality was rejected, many Japanese men and women hide their sexuality now in fear of ridicule they might face. Howev- er, LGBTQ+ people are becoming more widely accepted, with pride parades occurring annually, a major one being Tokyo Rainbow Pride. Wages presenta- tion was engaging and it was fascinat- ing to see how Japa- nese culture varies to the culture in the United States.

Haneline described the German influ- ences in the com- munities, from the language to the architecture to the citizens holding their own oktoberfest, the annual beer fes- tival principally held in Munich, Germa- ny. Hanelines research and presentation were also fascinat- ing, especially seeing cultures of the coun- tries in which they settled. The audience for the event was almost entirely students, most of whom took notes on the pre- sentations and paid close attention to them.
