SUMMARY:LLL | The Unfolding: A Novel
DESCRIPTION:Labyrinth and the Princeton Public Library present A.M. Homes\, who will discuss The Unfolding\, a stunning alternative history that is prescient\, tender\, and funny and is her first novel since the Women’s Prize award-winning May We Be Forgiven\, with historian Laura F. Edwards. \nThe Big Guy loves his family\, money\, and country. Undone by the results of the 2008 presidential election\, he taps a group of like-minded men to reclaim their version of the American Dream. As they build a scheme to disturb and disrupt\, the Big Guy also faces turbulence within his family. His wife\, Charlotte\, grieves a life no lived\, while his 18-year-old daughter Meghan begins to realize that her favorite subject –history—is not exactly what her father taught her. \nHomes unpacks a dangerous rift in American identity\, prompting a reconsideration of the definition of truth\, freedom\, and democracy – and exploring the explosive consequences of what happens when the same words mean such different things to people living together under one roof. \nA.M. Homes is the author of thirteen books\, among them the best-selling memoir The Mistress’ Daughter; the novels This Book Will Save Your Life\, The End of Alice\, and Jack; and the short story collections Days of Awe\, The Safety of Objects and Things You Should Know. She also writes for film and television and teaches in the Creative Writing Program at Princeton University. Laura F. Edwards is a legal historian whose research focuses on the nineteenth-century United States. Her prize winning books include Scarlett Doesn’t Live Here Anymore: Southern Women in the Civil War Era; The People and Their Peace: Legal Culture and the Transformation of Inequality in Post-Revolutionary South; and most recently Only the Clothes on Her Back: Clothing and the Hidden History of Power in the 19th century U.S. \nThis event is part of Labyrinth’s and the Princeton Public Library’s joint programming and is cosponsored by Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts and Humanities Council.

SUMMARY:"Swamp”
DESCRIPTION:Shambhavi Kaul\n“Swamp”\n[Response: Rachel Price]\nTuesday\, November 29\, 2022 @5pm ET\nN107 (School of Architecture) \nThe swamp has long been imagined as a site of horror in popular cinema\, partially premised on the idea that such land exists beyond the reach of capitalist society: think of the much-adapted 1971 comic\, The Swamp Thing\, whose protagonist is a vegetal\, subhuman who hides and survives\, away from humans\, in a swamp. As my own films have been concerned with “protagonism” within popular cinematic logic\, I am now turning to the ways in which the question of protagonism\, actors and agency\, are at the heart of how to think of our earth’s future beyond the reigning extractionist logic. In this talk\, I discuss these concepts in relation to my current\, in-progress film that builds on my earlier work. \nShambhavi Kaul is a filmmaker\, visual artist\, and Associate Professor of the Practice in the Department of Art\, Art History & Visual Studies\, the program in Cinematic Arts and the MFA in Experimental and Documentary Arts at Duke University. Her entire body of work is engaged with a core question of the limits and possibilities afforded to protagonists in cinematic storytelling. Her films and installations have been presented worldwide at the Toronto\, New York\, London and Rotterdam film festivals\, the Berlinale\, and the Flaherty Film Seminar. She has also been invited to present her work at museums including the Tate Modern in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York among other venues. \nRachel Price works on Latin American\, circum-Atlantic and particularly Cuban literature and culture. Associate Professor of Spanish and Portuguese at Princeton University\, she is author of several publications on media\, slavery\, poetics\, environmental humanities\, and visual art\, including The Object of the Atlantic: Concrete Aesthetics in Cuba\, Brazil and Spain 1868-1968 (Northwestern University Press\, 2014)\, and Planet/Cuba: Art\, Culture\, and the Future of the Island (Verso Books\, 2015) \nM+M recommends using face masks whenever indoors. \nPlease visit M+M’s official website for the full events calendar and current information.

SUMMARY:Native Nation Building and Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:Principal Chief Geoffrey Standing Bear will reflect on the critical role of the Osage nation vis-à-vis federal law\, the creation of the FBI\, and environmental resources management and sovereignty policy. He will be in conversation with Anthropology graduate student Noah Collins (Cherokee Nation/White Mountain Apache Tribe) and Astrophysics graduate student Rodrigo Córdova (Osage). \nGeoffrey Standing Bear is the Principal Chief of the Osage Nation. He is the great-grandson of Osage Principal Chief Fred Lookout. \nNow in his third term as Osage Nation Principal Chief\, he continues the work of protecting and enhancing the Osage culture\, language\, and lands. \nBefore his election\, Chief Standing Bear practiced law for 34 years. He concentrated on federal Indian law receiving national recognition by Best Lawyers in America\, Oklahoma Super Lawyers\, and a listing with Chambers and Partners. He served as Assistant Principal Chief of the Osage Tribe from 1990 through 1994 and was a Member of the Osage Nation Congress from 2010 to 2014. While a practicing lawyer he was involved in the first federal Indian gaming case in Oklahoma. \nIn 2017\, Chief Standing Bear was recognized by Oklahoma Magazine as an Oklahoman of the Year for his leadership of the Osage Nation. In 2021 the Tulsa World selected him as one of their Tulsans of the Year. He received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Oklahoma and received his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Tulsa. \nHe sees the Osage Nation expanding its land base\, maintaining its vibrant traditions\, and bringing back the Osage language to daily use. His belief is that this and much more can be done through the power of the Osage child and it is therefore the duty of all his people to protect and nurture the children of the Nation. \nUnder his leadership\, the Osage Nation has set new goals and found how powerful working together for a common goal can overcome almost any obstacle. \nIn conversation with:\nRodrigo Córdova Rosado (Osage Nation)\, Astrophysical Sciences\nNoah Collins (Cherokee Nation/White Mountain Apache Tribe)\, Anthropology \nCo-organized with Natives at Princeton and the Native Alumni of Princeton. Co-sponsored by the Pace Center for Civic Engagement\, the University Center for Human Values\, the Native American and Indigenous Studies Initiative at Princeton (NAISIP)\, the Carl A. Fields Center for Equality and Cultural Understanding\, the Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination\, and the Office of Access\, Diversity\, and Inclusion in the Graduate School.

SUMMARY:Arriving in the Present: Transcultural Perspectives in Contemporary German-Speaking Contexts—A Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce a new reading group\, the first phase in a three-part initiative to expand and diversify the community of the Department of German at Princeton by fostering the study of an increasingly relevant field in German Studies: “Transnational Literatures” and “Literature of (Post-) Migration.” A group organized by Professors Sara S. Poor and Barbara N. Nagel and consisting of faculty and students from Princeton\, Rutgers\, and U Penn will meet six times in the coming academic year to discuss new works being discussed in social media\, cultural venues\, and in academic circles. Our objectives are twofold: 1) to familiarize ourselves with some recent primary materials (short story\, novel\, film\, drama); and 2) to foster connections between Germanists both here and at our neighboring institutions. \nNB: Hard copies of novels will be supplied for up to 30 students participating in-person. \nMaking this project possible is the generous support provided by a Flash Grant from Princeton University’s Humanities Council. \nPlease join us for our first hybrid meeting\, held from 12:00-1:15 PM EST to accommodate faculty and students who are currently abroad. For those able to attend in person\, lunch will be provided. \nNovember 29: Ein von Schatten begrenzter Raum\, Emine Sevgi Özdamar (novel\, 2021) \nPlease RSVP if interested in participating\, either in person or on Zoom\, to Mary Grayson Brook\, mbrook@princeton.edu. You must RSVP to receive the Zoom link. Please also use this email address to request a free copy of the novel\, which will be distributed on a first-come\, first-served basis.

SUMMARY:Partitions of Europe and Healing Spaces of Expulsion
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 21 for the annual ECS Faber Lecture with Esra Akcan (Cornell University). \nThis event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP HERE. \nReception to follow the lecture. \nThis lecture explores architecture’s role in the right-to-heal by defining a healing space as one where violence and violations are confronted\, and accountability and reparations are instituted. It shows the role of the designed environment both in the opportunistic responses to crises and in the much-needed debates of accountability\, reckoning with the past and transitional justice. The lecture particularly raises the question of harm and healing after mandatory mass migrations during nation-state formations\, such as the ones during the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire that partitioned today’s Europe and the Middle East. It argues that the international and national authorities treated land settlement as a top-down demographic engineering device\, and its architecture as a technical problem in a post-conflict setting\, failing to notice the trauma of mass expulsion\, or ignoring the cultural complexity of resettlement. It also discusses the residues of these historical wounds today\, by contrasting the state-led religio-nationalist policies to the practice of a handful architects\, residents and stonemasons who struggle toward healing through architecture. \nEsra Akcan is the Michael A. McCarthy Professor in the Department of Architecture\, and the Resident Director in the Institute for Comparative Modernities at Cornell University. Her research on modern and contemporary architecture and urbanism foregrounds the intertwined histories of Europe\, West Asia and East Africa\, and offers new ways to understand architecture’s role in global\, social and environmental justice. She has written extensively on critical and postcolonial theory\, racism\, immigration\, architectural photography\, translation\, neoliberalism\, and global history. Her books include Landfill Istanbul: Twelve Scenarios for a Global City (124/3\, 2004); Architecture in Translation: Germany\, Turkey and the Modern House (Duke University Press\, 2012); Turkey: Modern Architectures in History (Reaktion/Chicago University Press\, 2012\, with Sibel Bozdoğan); Open Architecture: Migration\, Citizenship and the Urban Renewal of Berlin-Kreuzberg by IBA-1984/87 (Birkhäuser/De Gruyter Academic Press\, 2018); Abolish Human Bans: Intertwined Histories of Architecture (CCA\, 2022). Currently\, she is editing Migration and Discrimination (with Iftikhar Dadi) and writing Right-to-Heal: Architecture in Transitions After Conflicts and Disasters.  \nFunding provided by the Eberhard L. Faber 1915 Memorial Fund in the Humanities Council.

SUMMARY:Translation as Coded Critique
DESCRIPTION:In 2017\, a young boy was arrested while reciting Hamlet’s monologue to passersby on a central Moscow street. Why would a child reciting poetry on a public street be arrested? Does it matter that he was reading a translation of Hamlet? Aided by Russian-language news stories and accounts by independent journalists\, I discuss the event and its framings in light of translation’s role in critiques of Tsarist and Soviet censorship. \nK. Maya Larson is an ACLS Emerging Voices Fellow for the Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication. Larson’s essays have appeared in Comparative Literature\, Deleuze and Guattari Studies\, and Amaltea Journal of Myth Criticism. Currently at work on a book about how Aesop’s translated Vita shaped Russian literature\, Larson holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the University of Oregon with a specialization in Translation Studies. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:James A. Moffett '29 Lectures in Ethics: Du Bois and 'The Souls of White Folk'
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: Professor Gooding-Williams’s paper\, “Du Bois and ‘The Souls of White Folk'” is a study of W.E.B. Du Bois’s moral psychology of white supremacy. Du Bois means his moral psychology to serve two purposes.  The first is a social scientific explanation—specifically\, the social scientific explanation of the domination and exploitation of the world’s darker peoples.  The second is to articulate the Christian white supremacist’s ideal conception of his life as a Christian\, for it is in virtue of this conception that the Christian white supremacist is vulnerable to moral appeal. \nRobert Gooding-Williams is the M. Moran Weston/Black Alumni Council Professor of African-American Studies and Professor of Philosophy and of African American and African Diaspora Studies at Columbia University.  He is the author of Zarathustra’s Dionysian Modernism (Stanford\, 2001)\, Look\, A Negro!: Philosophical Essays on Race\, Culture\, and Politics (Routledge\, 2005)\, and In The Shadow of Du Bois: Afro-Modern Political Thought in America (Harvard\, 2009).  Gooding-Williams was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2018 and was a 2020 Guggenheim Fellow. \nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:PLAS Graduate Works in Progress
DESCRIPTION:Princeton graduate students\, faculty and visiting scholars are invited to learn more about our graduate students’ current research. \n“Pan Americanism at Work”: CINVA and the Portable Brick Machine \nCamila Reyes Alé\, Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Architecture \nThis presentation traces the history of the CINVA-RAM\, a manual machine for the production of stabilized-earth blocks created at the Centro Interamericano Experimental y de Adiestramiento en Vivienda (CINVA) in Bogotá\, Colombia\, in 1957. Founded in 1951 as a training center under the “technical cooperation” arm of the D.C.-based Organization of American States (OAS)\, CINVA trained and educated architects\, engineers and social workers from across Latin America with a focus on manual construction techniques applied to housing development and urbanization\, during a period of intense economic and social growth across the region\, and the proliferation of its attendant inequities. CINVA’s primary mission was to research\, experiment and develop technical solutions that were rooted in local materials\, practices and forms of knowledge. The CINVA-RAM was one of these solutions. Acquired by Rockefeller’s International Basic Economy Corporation (IBEC)\, the CINVA-RAM was later patented and sold in multiple countries worldwide becoming a kind of global instrument\, synonymous with terms such as ‘development’\, ‘self-help’ and ‘third world’. This presentation aims to situate the history of the CINVA-RAM as specific both to the history of CINVA as institution and to forms of rural/local building knowledge grounded in South America\, while questioning the neocolonial contradictions of its dissemination as a universal building solution. \nDISCUSSANT\nAna Ozaki\, Princeton-Mellon Fellow in Architecture\, Urbanism\, and the Humanities \n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \n“Violence in the House of Fiction. Conflict and the Forms of Literary Realism in Mexico after the Revolution.” \nAlonso Burgos\, Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Comparative Literature \nThe development of the contemporary literary field in Mexico suggests that the overbearing scale of violence and loss that has taken over the country since the start of the “War against organized crime” has thoroughly seeped into the field of cultural production. Indeed\, what many of the most acclaimed and prominent writers of the present share seems to be a concern with the violent disintegration of the communal fabric of the country and its representation in the literary text. In this context\, the turn to the archive and the deployment of documents within the literary form have been hailed as some of the distinctive traits of contemporary Mexican literature. Rather than taking the documentary turn as an unprecedented change in the literary form in Mexico\, this dissertation project will seek to frame documentation as a form of literary realism by taking a look at other documentary practices and realist procedures that were deployed in Mexican literature during past periods of conflict in the last century. By taking a look at the place and role of narrative literature during the Revolution and the Dirty War\, the dissertation aims to offer a better understanding of the situation and the possibilities of the literary field in Mexico amid the contemporary moment of relentless violence. \nDISCUSSANT\nNora Muñiz Hernández\, Ph.D. candidate in Spanish and Portuguese \nMODERATOR\nMaria Smith\, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology \nOpen to students\, faculty\, visiting scholars\, staff and invited guests. A boxed lunch will be provided while supplies last. \nLearn more about our presenters and this workshop here:\nhttps://plas.princeton.edu/events/2022/plas-graduate-works-progress-camila-reyes-al%C3%A9-arc-alonso-burgos-com

SUMMARY:The Matter of Inscription in Early Modern China
DESCRIPTION:In addition to writing on paper with a brush and ink\, seventeenth-century Chinese poets and calligraphers carved their words onto a wide range of objects\, from vessels and weapons to musical instruments and desktop tools. Why did leading literary figures work to revivify this ancient form of writing upon things precisely when it was no longer seen as a reliable strategy with which to ensure longevity or to guard against material decay? Working with a selection of artifacts from the late Ming and early Qing\, my talk considers how inscription came to constitute a form of literary thought uniquely attuned to the material contingencies and technical preconditions of writing. By carving inscriptions that query the meaning of durability\, early modern poets and calligraphers interrogated\, and worked to overcome\, rigid dichotomies between solidity and evanescence\, immutable essence and metamorphosis. Rejecting the fixity and closure that writing on a hard surface ought to evoke\, they turned to inscription to name and possess the contradictions of the age. \nThomas Kelly is an Assistant Professor in East Asian Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University where he teaches courses on late imperial Chinese literature. He received his PhD from the University of Chicago in 2017 and was a Junior Fellow in the Society of Fellows at the University of Michigan from 2017 to 2019. His first book\, The Matter of Inscription in Early Modern China (forthcoming from Columbia University Press) investigates practices of carving literature onto solid objects in the late Ming and early to mid-Qing dynasties. His research on writing and materiality has appeared in Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies\, Late Imperial China\, and a special issue of the Journal of Chinese History on material cultures guest-edited by Dorothy Ko. Other publications on late imperial literature have appeared in the Journal of Chinese Oral and Performing Literature (2013) and the Journal of Chinese Literature and Culture (2021). He is currently serving as the president of the Society of Ming Studies. His work has been supported by fellowships and grants from the Social Science Research Council and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, the Michigan Society of Fellows\, the Franke Institute for the Humanities\, and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science. \n\nAlso sponsored by the P.Y. and Kinmay W.

SUMMARY:2022-23 Old Dominion Public Lecture Series - The Less Selfish Gene: Forest Altruism\, Neoliberalism\, and the Tree of Life
DESCRIPTION:Why has the hitherto arcane field of plant communication magnetized millions of general readers? Since the great recession of 2008\, we have witnessed an upsurge in public science writing that popularizes research into forest sentience\, forest suffering and the forest as a form of collective intelligence. \nThis talk roots the contemporary allure of forest communication in a widespread discontent with neoliberalism’s antipathy to cooperative ways of being. Nixon argues that the science of forest dynamics offers a counter-narrative of flourishing\, an allegory for what George Monbiot has called “private sufficiency and public wealth.” \nRECEPTION TO FOLLOW. \nRob Nixon is the Barron Family Professor in Environment and Humanities at Princeton University. His books include\, most recently\, Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor. Nixon is currently an Old Dominion Research Professor in the Humanities Council and is completing a book entitled Blood at the Root. Environmental Martyrs and the Defense of Life (University of Chicago). \nNixon writes frequently for the New York Times. His writing has also appeared in The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, The Guardian\, The Nation\, London Review of Books\, The Village Voice\, Aeon\, Orion\, Critical Inquiry and elsewhere. Much of Nixon’s work focuses on environmental justice struggles in the global South. He is a particularly fascinated by the role that artists and writers can play in giving imaginative definition to the possibilities for social change. \n\nOld Dominion Research Professors contribute to the Council’s programs and events and engage the campus community in sustained discussions about their research. This cohort of senior faculty join a yearlong program designed to provide additional research time and to enhance the humanities community more broadly. They also serve as faculty fellows in the Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts. Old Dominion Professors are full professors in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. \n

SUMMARY:"Modern Art and the Remaking of Human Disposition”
DESCRIPTION:Why did artists working in Europe around 1900 depart so dramatically from prior norms of depicting human body language? Modern Art & the Remaking of Human Disposition isolates a hitherto unexamined formal phenomenon in turn-of-the-century modernism––a rupture in conventions of corporeal disposition––to bring new concretion to our historical understanding of how turn-of-the-century European modernity was transforming its concepts of what it means to be human. Drawing out the main historiographic and methodological claims of the book\, this talk will explore how new understandings of human consciousness emerging in psychological and evolutionary sciences were theorized simultaneously in written discourse and in art across a range of media\, through a new vocabulary of postures and poses. More broadly\, the talk will elaborate on how and why bodily pose served in European art and philosophy as a primary device to both conceptualize and visualize psychological concepts. \nEmmelyn Butterfield-Rosen is Acting Director of the Williams Graduate Program in the History of Art at the Clark Art Institute. \nBridget Alsdorf is Professor in Princeton’s Department of Art and Archaeology. She is author of Gawkers: Art and Audience in Late Nineteenth-Century France (Princeton University Press\, 2022) and Fellow Men: Fantin-Latour and the Problem of the Group in Nineteenth-Century French Painting (Princeton University Press\, 2012) \nPlease note:\nA discount code will be provided to each attendee of the event. This code will provide a 30% discount on orders of Modern Art and the Remaking of Human Disposition placed on the University of Chicago Press website. \nImage: Waslav Nijinsky and Flore Revalles in “Afternoon of a Faun”\, Jan. 1917\, University of Washington: Special Collections. \nM+M recommends using face masks whenever indoors. \nPlease visit M+M’s official website for the full events calendar and current information.

SUMMARY:PUL Author Talk: “Thirteen Months in Dixie”
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a PUL Author Talk with Jeaninne Surette Honstein and Steven Knowlton who will talk about their adventure in discovering\, transcribing\, and annotating an incredible manuscript that details the thrilling and sometimes horrifying ordeals of a starving prisoner in the last 13 months of the Civil War. \n“Thirteen Months in Dixie” is a rollicking tale of adventure\, captivity\, hardship\, and heroism during the last year of the Civil War in a first-hand account by Oscar Federhen. Federhen wrote his recollections not long after the war\, but they were hidden away for decades as a family heirloom. \nFederhen was a new recruit to the 13th Independent Battery\, Massachusetts Light Artillery\, when he shipped out to Louisiana in the spring of 1864 to participate in the Red River Campaign. Not long after his arrival at the front\, a combination of ill-luck and bad timing led to his capture. Federhen was marched overland to Tyler\, Texas\, where he was held as a prisoner of war in Camp Ford\, the largest POW camp west of the Mississippi River. \nThis event will be held in person. Limited availability. Registration is required.
