SUMMARY:Edward Said Memorial Lecture: On "Perfect Victims" and the Politics of Appeal
DESCRIPTION:Palestinians dead and alive have been increasingly visible in Anglophone media—but not everyone can get the mic. For them to make noise\, dead Palestinians need to have been ethnocentrically “exceptional” or have had to endure an exceptionally violent death. And those who are alive need to fit the “perfect victim” prerequisite: docile\, defanged\, and preferably with an American accent. In this lecture\, Mohammed El-Kurd investigates this phenomenon\, asking a question once posed by Edward Said: who has the permission to narrate? And\, more importantly\, why should Palestinians seek such permissions in the first place? \nThis event is sponsored by the Edward W. Said ’57 Memorial Lecture Fund\, the Princeton Committee on Palestine\, and the Department of English.

SUMMARY:2022-23 Old Dominion Public Lecture Series – “ The Harvest Indeed is Great\, but the Labourers are Few”: Strangers in the Medieval Countryside
DESCRIPTION:Seasonal labor brought considerable numbers of workers long distances to villages and estates in the Middle Ages. These ‘strangers’ faced many difficulties in their interactions with the local population. The lecture addresses several of these difficulties and how elites\, villagers\, and migrant laborers coped with them. \nWilliam Chester Jordan is the Dayton-Stockton Professor of History. He is a former director of the Humanities Council’s Program in Medieval Studies and previously served as director of the Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies. Jordan is a prolific author whose current research focuses on migrant labor in the 13th and early 14th century. His Old Dominion Research Professorship will support the study of the economic and social experiences of migrant laborers in the High Middle Ages in the rural areas of northwestern continental Europe. \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.

SUMMARY:Historias para lo que viene: Podcasting for Social Justice in Colombia
DESCRIPTION:The participation of history in transitional justice processes has tended to be one of setting the record straight by providing objective evidence about past violent events. As such\, it is tied to conventional notions of history as linear\, progressive\, and centered in nation-states. This presentation showcases Historias para lo que viene\, a public history project which posits that history can do much more than that: it can be a forward-looking endeavor that combines critical inquiry with radical action. The project grew out of the 2016 peace accords between the FARC guerrillas and the Colombian government\, and it is based on the premise that building futures of social justice entails addressing long histories of exclusion and inequality. This collaborative project brings together social leaders from communities victimized in the context of the armed conflict\, communicators\, schoolteachers and historians to co-produce audio stories that entwine the past and present of those communities and their political struggles\, from their perspective and in their voices\, as an epistemological intervention. Just as historical narratives have been inherent to the production of power structures\, they can play a role in challenging them. \nABOUT OUR GUEST SPEAKER \nCatalina Muñoz (Ph.D.\, University of Pennsylvania) is an associate professor of history at the Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá\, Colombia. Her publications include A Fervent Crusade for the National Soul: Cultural Politics in Colombia\, 1930-1946 (Lexington Books\, 2022) and articles in the Hispanic American Historical Review\, Ethnohistory\, and Revista de Estudios Sociales\, among others. She was a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at the Humanities Action Lab in Rutgers University-Newark in the fall of 2017 and was awarded a membership in the Institute for Advanced Study\, School of Social Science\, in the fall of 2022. A public historian\, her research and practice examine the relevance of historical thinking and longue durée analysis to transitional justice\, a field traditionally dominated by lawyers. Read full bio. \nDISCUSSANT\nSebastián Ramírez\, Lecturer\, Anthropology\, Princeton University \nOpen to students\, faculty\, visiting scholars\, staff and specially invited guests. A boxed lunch will be provided while supplies last.

SUMMARY:Mellon Forum // Smallpox and Slavery in the Early Modern Atlantic World: A Digital History
DESCRIPTION:Mellon Forum on the Urban Environment\nSpring 2023 || SPATIAL STORYTELLING\nSmallpox and Slavery in the Early Modern Atlantic World: A Digital History is a digital history project consisting of a searchable database\, an embedded timelapse map\, and historical vignettes about enslaved people who survived smallpox outbreaks in the Atlantic World. It is based on Mitchell’s qualitative research database of over 500 smallpox outbreaks that affected enslaved Africans and free people of African descent in the Atlantic World\, with a focus on the Caribbean and West and West Central Africa\, between the 1500s and 1830s. The goal of the project is to offer historians the opportunity to examine the histories of outbreaks and epidemics across several regions\, empires\, and cultural contexts over 300 years\, without losing sight of the millions of people who endured the brutality of the slave trade and slavery. \nThe Spring 2023 Mellon Forum on the Urban Environment is kindly sponsored by the Mellon Foundation and the Princeton University Humanities Council\, Program in Latin American Studies\, Center for Collaborative History\, Departments of Art & Archaeology and English\, HMEI\, PIIRS\, SPIA\, and the School of Architecture.

SUMMARY:"Signals”
DESCRIPTION:Video is everywhere—on our phones and screens\, walls and streets\, defining new spaces and experiences\, spreading memes and lies\, fervor and power. Shared\, sent\, and networked\, it shapes public opinion and creates counter-publics in turn. \nThis talk explores the ways in which artists have both championed and questioned video as an agent of world change\, focusing on key works in Kuo’s forthcoming exhibition Signals: How Video Transformed the World (co-curated with Stuart Comer). From viral video to TikTok War\, surveillance footage to televised revolution\, video overflows boundaries of medium and geography; it splinters and migrates across disparate viewing conditions\, sites of display\, and modes of address\, both forming—and fraying—the networks of power within which we now live. \nDr. Michelle Kuo is The Marlene Hess Curator of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art\, New York. From 2010-17\, she was the Editor in Chief of Artforum International. She has published and lectured widely on new media and materials in contemporary art\, and is working on a book about the postwar organization Experiments in Art and Technology. \nDevin A. Fore is Professor of German at Princeton University. He is editor of Revoliutsiia! Demonstratsiia! Soviet Art Put to the Test (Yale University Press\, 2017) and History and Obstinacy by Alexander Kluge and Oskar Negt (Zone Books\, 2014); he is also author of Realism after Modernism: The Rehumanization of Art and Literature (The MIT Press\, 2012). \nImage: Nam June Paik.

SUMMARY:5000 Years of African Literature
DESCRIPTION:2022-2023 CREMS Faber Lecture \nThis talk’s central claim is that Africa has a 5000-year literary history. Why does such a possibility remain almost entirely unrecognized? How well does the extant evidence support such a claim? And what difference might the answers to these questions make? The presentation takes up each of these matters in turn. It approaches the first by looking at the organization of academic programs—what they enable and obscure. The second follows the successive fortunes of various African writing systems\, from ancient Egyptian to the present\, including indigenous and imported literary languages. Transmission is traced via direct connections among these languages; through the reconstruction of oral linkages\, where possible\, and utilizing extra-African relays\, with the African literary diaspora constituting a brief if recurrent\, motif. Finally\, the conclusion reviews several issues raised by the preceding survey—the rationale for disciplinary divisions\, the ethical and political resonances (if any)\, the (un)importance of contributions to knowledge\, the relationship between broad historical summary and close reading of texts\, the tension between continuity and rupture in literary traditions\, the importance of geography in literary networks\, and\, not least\, the relative hierarchy of African literary languages. \nRespondent: Wendy Laura Belcher\, Professor of Comparative Literature and African American Studies\, Princeton University \nChair: Ousseina Alidou\, Professor of African\, Middle Eastern and South Asian Languages and Literatures\, Rutgers University \nWalter Cohen is a Professor of English at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, after having taught from 1980 to 2014 in Comparative Literature at Cornell University\, where he received a distinguished teaching award and held various college and university administrative positions for two decades (including Dean of the Graduate School and Vice Provost of the University). He is the author of Drama of a Nation: Public Theater in Renaissance England and Spain (Cornell UP\, 1985)\,  A History of European Literature: The West and the World from Antiquity to the Present (Oxford UP\, 2017)\, and of numerous articles on Renaissance literature\, literary criticism\, the history of the novel\, and world literature. He is also one of the editors of The Norton Shakespeare (3rd ed.\, 2015). His current research interests include the literature on ecological catastrophe\, the history of African literature\, the languages of Jewish literature\, the social agency of written language\, and the role of social class in literary study. \nReception to follow the presentation\nPlease RSVP to blleavey@princeton.edu if you plan to attend \n

SUMMARY:Transistors. Mediating Migration
DESCRIPTION:In Christian Petzold´s film Transit\, an adaptation of Anna Seghers´s eponymous novel\, the protagonist Georg repairs the transistor radio of the young boy Driss\, a scene which unintentionally practices and reflects the polyvalence of language. The transistor – a portmanteau of transfer and resistor – becomes emblematic for a politics of migration that resists appropriation and assimilation and instead produces zones of transition. In her talk\, Karl focuses on the intersection between narratives of migration and cultural belonging\, as well as the media transfer conditioning such polyvalence. In Olivia Wenzel´s novel 1000 Serpentinen Angst\, for instance\, the narrator puts her focal point inside a vending machine on the platform where her brother committed suicide. Similar to Driss´s transistor\, the apparatus is needed not only to mediate the traumatic loss of her twin sibling\, but also to unfold the multilayered auto-fictional account of a young Afro-German woman born and raised in the former GDR. Looking at Petzold´s film in tandem with Wenzel´s novel\, Karl will show that instances of transistors – moments that both trigger and resist narrativization – may help us explore the critical potential of German (post-) migrant literature and film today.

SUMMARY:Musicology Colloquium Series | Petrine Prophecy as Power Discourse in the Thought of John Plousiadenos\, ‘unionist priest’ (ἑνωτικός ἱερεύς)
DESCRIPTION:Among the most intriguing aspects of late Byzantine intellectual and religious history is the phenomenon of Greek theologians who renounced the schism and advocated reunion with the Roman Church. The unionist movement reached its high point in the proceedings that resulted in the Council of Florence and its declaration of union between the Latin and Greek Churches in 1439. This article examines a key theological motif visible in the writings of Greek proponents of the Florentine Union\, and John Plousiadenos (fl. 1460s) in particular: their identification of the Roman See and its bishop with prophetic power capable of overcoming earthly kings and disturbing terrestrial kingdoms. For unionists such as Plousiadenos\, the Roman Church was not merely the “Mother See” and divinely appointed Head of Christendom\, but a formidable Mistress that must be respected and obeyed at the threat of loss of power and liberty. For Plousiadenos\, as well as other unionists who influenced him such as Basil Bessarion and George of Trebizond\, the recent conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks stood as a warning for the rest of the Greek Christian world about the consequences of rejecting Roman authority. While elaborating this motif\, this article also demonstrates that a narrative about Pope Alexander III allegedly humiliating the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa\, which was previously thought to have been fabricated by Martin Luther or else by German humanists of the late-fifteenth and early-sixteenth centuries\, was actually known in the middle of the fifteenth century by the Greek unionist John Plousiadenos. \nFree\, non-ticketed

SUMMARY:Abundance and Loss: Narratives of Diversity Across the Natural and Human Sciences
DESCRIPTION:The History of Science Program is delighted to announce their annual workshop. This year’s topic focuses on “Abundance and Loss: Narratives of Diversity Across the Natural and Human Sciences.” Biodiversity as a topic has been explored by scholars across the environmental humanities and environmental history\, including many of the participants in this workshop. As a scientific idea\, biodiversity has long origins in theories of natural abundance and hope\, tinged with fears over death and loss. Even more broadly\, analogies between human populations and plant or animal species have long driven shifts in social\, economic\, and political theory. Our goal with this workshop is to think together about the intellectual and cultural work done by ideas of abundance and loss in nature\, from the early modern world to the twenty-first century\, and especially the nodes crossing the natural sciences and humanities that have driven changes in these ideas. In recent decades\, biodiversity and diversity have become proxies for many things. There is a rich critique of diversity work in the academy\, including its recent form as Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion (DEI). Diversity has become a powerful buzzword across disciplines and a compelling site for organizing funding and garnering institutional attention. Have these concepts become bland avatars\, emptied of power and meaning? If so\, how and why did this happen? If not\, how did these narratives become so widespread? Untangling the power and politics at the heart of these histories would be useful so as to rearticulate their meanings and give us greater traction over the present. We have in mind three sessions – Power and Politics; Meaning and Value; and Abundance and Loss – although we imagine that these themes will run through many of the papers. \nCo-organized by Erika Milam and Banu Subramaniam \nFull schedule and more information.

SUMMARY:Friends of Princeton University Library Small Talk with Gene Andrew Jarrett
DESCRIPTION:“From the Library of Congress to Loafing-Holt: Reliving Paul Laurence Dunbar’s Libraries” \nThe Friends of Princeton University Library present Gene Andrew Jarrett\, the Dean of the Faculty and William S. Tod Professor of English at Princeton University. Jarrett will share the story of how remarkable libraries bookended the professional career of the legendary African American writer Paul Laurence Dunbar at the turn of the 20th century. \nLibraries inspired Dunbar both as a young man and as a poet. In his mid-twenties\, he overcame illnesses to work at the Library of Congress\, where he built his brilliant sense of literary time and place\, and where he learned that distinctive forms of art\, such as music and poetry\, could converge\, stimulate the imagination\, and move audiences. A decade later\, in 1905\, he published a book titled Lyrics of Sunshine and Shadow\, which included a poem about the “sylvan\, cool retreat” called “Loafing-Holt\,” or the second-floor study inside his home in Dayton\, Ohio\, where he prematurely passed away the following year. \nDean Jarrett will be introduced by Tera Hunter\, Edwards Professor of American History; Professor of History and African American Studies; Acting Chair\, Council of the Humanities; Acting Director\, Program in Humanistic Studies \nIn-person attendance to the talk is reserved for Friends of PUL\, but the virtual component (Zoom) is open to all. Registration is required: https://libcal.princeton.edu/event/10146022

SUMMARY:Friends of Princeton University Library Small Talk with Nina Khrushcheva *98
DESCRIPTION:Russia\, Ukraine\, and the Perils of History \nJoin the Friends of PUL for their monthly Small Talk\, which will feature Nina Khrushcheva *98\, Professor of International Affairs\, The New School. \nWhen Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a “special military operation” in Ukraine last February what were his reasoning and his endgame? Did he want to punish Ukraine for turning towards the West by destabilizing its government\, destroying its military infrastructure as well as parts of the country in its totality? Did he want to challenge the West for its perceived “unjust” world domination waging his own “just” war on this\, what he often calls\, “brotherly nation”? In a year since the conflict began there are still debates as to what the Kremlin’s exact motivations had been\, and how far the Russian president may go to achieve his goals. Putin’s actual reasons for invading Ukraine are much less political or pragmatic than one should expect in 21st century geopolitics\, but there are relevant instances of history\, both czarist and Soviet\, that have been driving Putin’s current actions. In this context\, the events of October 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis\, which recently marked its sixtieth anniversary\, provides for a useful comparison to the Ukraine crisis today. \nIn-person attendance is reserved for members of the Friends of PUL\, but the virtual component is open to all. Registration is required: https://libcal.princeton.edu/event/9860826

SUMMARY:Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
DESCRIPTION:Join the Arts Council of Princeton to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. \nWe will begin the morning with remarks from our 2023 featured speaker\, Tina Campt – noted Black feminist theorist of visual culture and contemporary art and Roger S. Berlind ’52 Professor in the Humanities at Princeton University – during a community bagel and coffee breakfast. \nFamilies are invited to pick up a copy of an updated limited-edition coloring book featuring prominent Black residents of Princeton from history\, including accomplished business owners\, politicians\, educators and influential women\, in addition to Martin Luther King Jr.’s visits to campus in the 1960s\, designed in partnership with the Historical Society of Princeton\, neighborhood historian Shirley Satterfield\, and Princeton University Wintersession. \nHelp us help those in need: bring canned or boxed non-perishables for our food drive. All donations will benefit Princeton Nursery School\, a non-profit organization providing a quality preschool education program and child care for families in need\, providing a diverse environment and a broad array of support services. \nCo-sponsored by the Department of African American Studies\, the Humanities Council\, and the Office of Campus Engagement. \nAbout the speaker: \nTina Campt is Roger S. Berlind ’52 Professor of Humanities\, holding a joint appointment between the Department of Art and Archaeology and the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University. Campt is a Black feminist theorist of visual culture and contemporary art and lead convener of the Practicing Refusal Collective and the Sojourner Project. She began her career as a historian of modern Germany\, earning a Ph.D. in history from Cornell University. She is one of the founding scholars of Black European Studies\, and her early work theorized gender\, racial\, and diasporic formation in Black communities in Europe and southern Africa\, with an emphasis on the role of vernacular photography in historical interpretation. Campt’s more recent scholarship bridges the divide between vernacular image-making in Black diasporic communities and the interventions of Black contemporary artists in reshaping how we see ourselves and our societies. Her teaching reflects her ongoing interest in exploring the multiple sensory registers of images and the importance of attending to their sonic and haptic registers. \nCampt has published five books and received the 2020 Photography Catalogue of the Year Award from Paris Photo and Aperture Foundation for her co-edited collection\, Imagining Everyday Life: Engagements with Vernacular Photography (with Marianne Hirsch\, Gil Hochberg and Brian Wallis\, Steidl). Campt has held faculty positions at Brown University\, Barnard College-Columbia University\, Duke University\, University of California-Santa Cruz\, and the Technical University of Berlin.

SUMMARY:Compiling Magic: the Scribe at Work
DESCRIPTION:For the past seven years I have been reediting\, translating\, and studying the magical handbooks from Roman Egypt preserved on papyrus. A magical formulary is a collection of instructions for the performance of different spells and rituals\, generally designed for private use. These “recipe” books systematize traditions of knowledge developed to deal with a wide range of everyday human concerns. Such instructions for ritual procedures (praxeis) are not usually considered alongside other genres considered more “scientific\,” such as medical\, astronomical\, and mathematical­ compilations.  In fact\, “ambitious magical formularies” are similar to these genres in their effort to compile and organize technical knowledge and have the invaluable advantage of surviving in the form of a considerable corpus of papyri\, allowing us to observe scribal practices of compilation and transmission. In this paper I will present a methodology to uncover and understand these ancient practices of compilation – storage\, standardization\, manipulation and presentation– derived from scribal observation in the magical formularies. \nClick here for the Zoom registration link

SUMMARY:Faculty Research Forum: Introduction to Project-Based Humanities Grantseeking
DESCRIPTION:The Office of the Dean for Research and the Humanities Council invite humanities scholars (faculty\, postdocs\, staff\, graduate students\, and humanities-focused researchers) to an information session to learn about strategies for project-based grantseeking. Unlike individual research projects that are the norm in the humanities\, project-based grantseeking is typically collaborative\, interdisciplinary\, and complex. We want to de-mystify the process of developing and launching project-based research\, and applying for internal or external funding that may be needed to support that research. Scholars at all levels of experience are invited to attend. The event will be held in person.

SUMMARY:Machine Learning and the Future of Philology
DESCRIPTION:What will philology become in the wake of the digital revolution? How can computer vision\, handwritten text recognition\, natural language processing\, deep neural networks and/or other forms of machine learning refine the arsenal of techniques for studying pre-modern evidence? \nThis works-in-progress symposium will feature six teams of Princeton scholars who are applying machine learning to manuscripts\, rare books\, archives\, inscriptions\, coins and other pre-1600 texts. Presentations will include projects on materials in Syriac\, Hebrew\, Latin\, Greek\, Chinese and English. David Smith (Computer Science\, Northeastern) will offer remarks. \nThe symposium will take place at the CDH on Friday\, December 9\, 2022\, 9 am to 5 pm at the Center for Digital Humanities (B Floor\, Firestone Library) and on Zoom. \nThis event is co-organized by the Center for Digital Humanities and the Manuscript\, Rare Book and Archive Studies Initiative\, with support from the Center for Statistics and Machine Learning. This symposium is intended as the first of a pair; the second will take place in 2023–24 and solicit proposals from beyond the Princeton community. \nA provisional schedule is available on the CDH website. \nThis event is limited to Princeton affiliates.

SUMMARY:Justice for Animals
DESCRIPTION:Martha C. Nussbaum is the Ernst Freund Distinguished Service Professor of Law and Ethics\, appointed in the Philosophy Department and the Law School of the University of Chicago. She gave the 2016 Jefferson Lecture for the National Endowment for the Humanities and won the 2016 Kyoto Prize in Arts and Philosophy. The 2018 Berggruen Prize in Philosophy and Culture\, and the 2020 Holberg Prize. These three prizes are regarded as the most prestigious awards available in fields not eligible for a Nobel. She has written more than twenty-two books\, including Upheavals of Thought: The Intelligence of Emotions; Anger and Forgiveness: Resentment\, Generosity\, Justice; Not for Profit: Why Democracy Needs the Humanities; and The Monarchy of Fear. \nKnown as one of the world’s most influential philosophers and humanists\, Martha Nussbaum in her latest book Justice for Animals\, provides a revolutionary approach to animal rights\, ethics\, and law. \nFrom dolphins to crows\, elephants to octopuses\, Nussbaum examines the entire animal kingdom\, showcasing the lives of animals with wonder\, awe\, and compassion to understand how we can create a world in which human beings are truly friends of animals\, not exploiters or users. All animals should have a shot at flourishing in their own way. Humans have a collective duty to face and solve animal harm. An urgent call to action and a manual for change\, Nussbaum’s groundbreaking theory directs politics and law to help us meet our ethical responsibilities as no book has done before. \nPlease Note: Copies of Martha’s new book\, Justice for Animals: Our Collective Responsibility will be handed out to the first 200 attendees. \nLocation\nMcCosh Hall 50\nTo attend this event virtually\, CLICK HERE \nAudience\nFree and open to the public
