This is the 5th event in the “Wittgenstein and Women” conference and workshop series (Wittgenstein & Women – International Conferences and Workshops ), which was established with the aim of exploring Wittgenstein‘s philosophy as a fruitful resource for feminist and political thought and to support the work of women and other marginalised gender identities. The present conference turns to the body as the site where the possibilities and failures of ordinary language are most acutely at stake, and where the intersection of ordinary language philosophy with feminist philosophy, ethics of care, the philosophy of action, and ordinary anthropology opens new critical terrain.
