SUMMARY:Doctrine and Practice beyond Borders: International Interactions in East Asian Buddhism.  A Numata Visiting Scholar Fund Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop places Japanese Buddhism in a transnational perspective. We argue that Japanese Buddhism was formed in dialogue with its neighbors and that these early exchanges had long-lasting implications. As such\, our workshop stresses the need to consider Japan in relation to Korean and Chinese Buddhism. We also propose that scholars consider Japan not only as a passive recipient of continental traditions\, as has typically been the case\, but also as an active participant in shaping an interactive East Asian Buddhism. Our workshop focuses especially on a formative period in the history of Japanese Buddhism: the sixth century through the ninth centuries. The period under study is arguably the most cosmopolitan period in Japanese history prior to the modern era. Buddhism entered Japan in the mid-sixth century. A king from Paekche\, a kingdom on the Korean peninsula\, sent Buddhist texts and images to Japan as an official diplomatic gesture. From the beginning\, therefore\, Buddhism was tied to international relations. With the fall of Paekche in the seventh century\, large numbers of people fled as refugees to Japan\, bringing new Buddhist practices and ideas with them. Japan also began sending students to study abroad\, directing many to China to learn from masters on the continent and import the latest texts and most reliable manuscripts. These official embassies ended in the ninth century\, marking a closing point to this especially cosmopolitan era. But the legacy of this exchange would continue to influence Japanese Buddhism for centuries to come\, as we will show. Our workshop will document these developments and reflect upon models for how to understand these interactions. \nFor more information and to register\, visit the CCSR webpage.  \nThis workshop is co-sponsored by Center for Culture\, Society and Religion; East Asian Studies Program\, the Humanities Council\, the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies\, Glorisun Global Network for Buddhist Studies\, and Numata Program in Buddhist Studies.

SUMMARY:Leonardo Sciascia: The Man and the Writer
DESCRIPTION:Leonardo Sciascia remains best known outside Italy as novelist and writer of idiosyncratic detective stories which aim not so much to identify individual criminals as to dissect the society in which such crimes occur and to unveil the powerful forces which benefit by them. He was also produced non-fiction books in a genre of his own devising which can be known only as the inchiesta (enquiry)\, a probe to find the truth of some event in past or contemporary society. Underlying all his work is the moral quest for truth\, a fact which which makes him particularly relevant and indeed essential in a ‘post-truth’ society. Sicilian by birth and culture\, he used\, as he said\, ‘Sicily as a metaphor\,’ to allow him to extend his gaze into the morals\, or immorality\, of the use and misuse of power on an international scale. \nJoseph Farrell is Professor Emeritus in Italian of the University of Strathclyde\, Glasgow. His recent books include: Sicily: A Cultural History; Dario Fo and Franca Rame – Theatre\, Politics\, Life; Robert Louis Stevenson in Samoa; Honour and the Sword – The Culture of Duelling. He has translated many books from Italian (Sciascia\, Consolo\, Dario Fo\, Valerio Varesi among others) as well as three film scripts by Giuseppe Tornatore. He was given the title Cavaliere della Repubblica Italiana for his services to the diffusion of Italian Culture.

SUMMARY:Missing Universality: Absence and Politics
DESCRIPTION:Universality is the basis of emancipatory politics. What is universal is not what we possess in common but what we don’t possess at all—the structural absence that animates every social order. This talk will argue for the salience of this conception of universality and an understanding of emancipation founded on it. \nTodd McGowan teaches theory and film at the University of Vermont. He is the author of Enjoyment Right and Left\, The Racist Fantasy\, Emancipation After Hegel\, Capitalism and Desire\, Only a Joke Can Save Us\, and other works. He is the editor of the Film Theory in Practice series at Bloomsbury and the co-editor (with Slavoj Žižek and Adrian Johnston) of the Diaeresis series at Northwestern University Press. He is the co-host of the Why Theory podcast with Ryan Engley.

SUMMARY:Ask Your Questions\, a Belknap Visiting Fellows Residency with Daniel Alexander Jones
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Alexander Jones\, a Belknap Short-Term Visiting Fellow in Princeton’s Humanities Council\, collaborates with members of the Princeton community at the Lewis Center for the Arts to construct an altar over the course of a week-long residency. Centered around the prompt “Ask Your Questions\,” the conversations\, offerings\, building and activation of the altar will be rooted in the cultivation of intentional space for inquiry\, deep listening\, and consideration of traditional practices of presence\, particularly those rooted in Black Queer interiorities. Jones will weave the threads through formal class visits and presentations\, informal conversations\, open hours for drop-in collaboration\, and listening sessions with offerings from Jones and dialogue with attendees/participants. The week of residency will culminate in a dynamic duet between Jones and Dr. Deborah Paredez of Columbia University in an evening entitled Question/Generation (X) featuring both artists reading from their work and discussing not only their own questions\, but questions born of the week’s invitations\, followed by time for celebration. \nJones\, who will return to Princeton in the Spring of 2023\, is a commissioned artist of The Toni Morrison Project. He will include reflections on his research into Morrison’s storied career in his conversations\, and as a major part of his contribution to the week’s altar. \n6-7 PM — Introduction (also Open Hours) \n7-8 PM — Listening Session

SUMMARY:'Asfüriyyeh: A History of Madness\, Modernity\, and War in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Abi-Rached will present her recent book ‘Asfüriyyeh: A History of Madness\, Modernity\, and War in the Middle East (MIT Press\, 2020). Formally\, the Lebanon Hospital for the Insane\, ‘Asfüriweh was founded by a Swiss Quaker missionary in 1896. The medical establishment of the day hailed it as one of the first modern psychiatric hospitals in the Middle East. It closed its doors in 1982\, a victim of Lebanon’s brutal fifteen-vear civil war. Dr. Abi-Rached uses the rise and fall of ‘Asfüriweh as a lens through which to examine the development of modern psychiatric theory and practice in the region as well as the sociopolitical history of modern Lebanon. \nRegister for this Zoom webinar.

SUMMARY:Writers In Conversation: On Migration\, Language and the Stories of Our Lives
DESCRIPTION:Is language a “place” you call home? How do migratory patterns influence the stories we tell? \nSámi-Swedish writer Linnea Axelsson\, Professor of Creative Writing Aleksandar Hemon\, and Translator-in-Residence Saskia Vogel join editor\, critic and poet John Freeman in conversation and with short readings from their recent works. \nAxelsson’s forthcoming American debut Aednan\, in Vogel’s translation and edited by Freeman for Knopf\, is an epic multigenerational poem about a Sámi family’s quest to stay together across a century of migration and Swedish settler colonialism. \nMigratory patterns\, too\, are a theme in Hemon’s work\, from his writing on his parents’ immigration from Sarajevo to Canada to the experience of not having a country to call your own\, and so finding a home in language.\nJoin us for a wide-reaching conversation on how we shape the stories of our lives.

SUMMARY:Major Corrections: the Materialist Philology of Sebastiano Timpanaro
DESCRIPTION:Sebastiano Timpanaro (1923-2000) was one of the tightest and brightest thinkers of the 20th century. Trained as a classical philologist in the most German sense of the word\, Timpanaro also maintained an unwavering\, antagonistic\, and near life-long commitment to the realisation of socialism. But his intellectual contributions go well beyond one or the other sphere of philology or politics: studies on 19th century European cultural history\, Freudian psychoanalysis\, the evolution of linguistics\, the history of classical scholarship\, and 19th century Italian literature rolled off Timpanaro’s typewriter to make him a rare and genuine example of the thing we always say we want to be\, interdisciplinary. While Timpanaro himself maintained a strict separation between his philological pursuits and ‘the rest’\, self-effacingly side-lining his classical activity as narrow and dry\, this talk will read against the grain to trace the ongoing value of philology to Timpanaro’s varied intellectual output. We will hopefully see how philology as toolkit and worldview can sometimes be used for good rather than evil\, in exceptional cases not necessarily a vehicle for oppression\, but a technique of propelling justice\, equality\, and struggle. \nThis is a hybrid event.

SUMMARY:Poison and politics: toward a (pre-modern?) theory of community and communication
DESCRIPTION:The first task in this talk will be to suggest\, by drawing on linguistics\, literary texts\, myth and scripture\, that in many pre-modern cultures poison\, hypocrisy\, politics\, and communication were intimately related concepts. In these cultures\, communication could be thought of as profoundly ambivalent\, capable of both deceit and revelation. The dangers of this ambivalence were often imagined in terms of poison\, and specialists in communicative action often represented as poisoners. Nirenberg will then focus on these dynamics in communicative acts claiming to establish or represent political order in the Middle Ages: on gifts and brides in Beowulf\, on courtiers in Orderic Vitalis\, John of Salisbury and Herbert of Bosham\, on Italians in Webster’s Duchess of Malfi and Thomas Nashe’s Unfortunate Traveler. Finally\, he will offer an example of how these pre-modern\, pre-theoretical ways of imagining the dangers of communication and community became “critical theory” in modernity\, using the example of Norbert Elias\, and hinting at some implications for figurations of “being” and “seeming\,” “transparency” and “conspiracy\,” “hypocrisy” and “sincerity\,” in our own hyper-mediatized present. \nThis talk will be held from 4:30 – 6:00 pm\, followed by a Welcome Back Reception from 6:00 – 7:00 pm. \nPlease RSVP for this event here. \nDavid Nirenberg (Institute for Advanced Study)\, IAS Director and Leon Levy Professor\, is a historian and author\, recognized for wide-ranging scholarship on the interaction of Christians\, Jews\, and Muslims. His research provides insight into discussions of racism\, Anti-Semitism\, and Christian-Muslim relations. At the University of Chicago\, Nirenberg served as founding director of the Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society\, Dean of the Social Sciences\, Executive Vice Provost\, and Interim Dean of the Divinity School. Nirenberg is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and Medieval Academy of America. His most recent book\, co-authored with his father (Ricardo Nirenberg) is Uncountable: A Philosophical History of Number and Humanity from Antiquity to the Present\, which seeks to understand the powers and limits of the sciences and the humanities. He is currently at work on a history of racial thought in Judaism\, Christianity and Islam.

SUMMARY:On the Bias
DESCRIPTION:This talk will consider the diagonal line as a technique within thought. Inherently formal and spatial\, if not also graphical\, the diagonal or oblique line has played any number of important roles: from the diagonal of the unit square (which nearly destroyed Pythagoreanism and\, later\, played an important role in Plato’s “Meno”)\, to the clinamen or oblique swerve in Lucretius\, to the modern intervention of Georg Cantor’s “diagonal argument” (where in 1891 he demonstrated that the real numbers are uncountable)\, to Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s postmodern “machine\,” defined as a diagonal that cuts through an assemblage.

SUMMARY:Latin America: The Temptation of Authoritarianism
DESCRIPTION:Authoritarianism is a recurrent trend in Latin American history since independence. As long as institutions can not be established on permanent bases\, dictators keep coming surging\, presently not through coup d’états\, but through elections. Are we condemned to repetition? Has populism come to remain? Can we hope for democracy in the future? \nABOUT OUR GUEST SPEAKER\nSergio Ramírez is a Nicaraguan writer (1942) who participated in the revolution that overthrew the Somoza family dictatorship in 1979. He was vice president between 1985 and 1990. He has published more than 50 books including novels\, short stories\, essays and chronicles\, translated into 20 languages. He has received various literary awards\, including the Cervantes Prize in 2017. He is living in exile in Madrid since 2021. \nDISCUSSANT\nMiguel Centeno\, Sociology\, Princeton University \nOpen to Princeton students and faculty\, and specially invited guests.

SUMMARY:The Garden of Bedil: The Indo-Persian Literary and Cultural Landscape
DESCRIPTION:The Program in South Asian Studies is organizing a three-day festival\, “The Garden of Bedil: The Indo-Persian Literary and Cultural Landscape” to be held at Princeton University on September 22-24\, 2022. The festival includes a student-focused poetry reading workshop on September 22\, a multi-disciplinary in-person conference on September 23\, with a virtual session on September 24\, and a musical concert on the evening of September 24. \nTo register for the virtual session on September 24\, please use this link:\nhttps://princeton.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_bAyDjupeT2WWWrL5y8IUJg \nRegistration is not required for the in-person events. \nBedil (1644-1720) is widely considered one of the greatest Persian poets of all times and the foremost exponent of the “Sabk-e-Hindi” or Indian style of Persian poetry. Born in Bihar\, buried in Delhi\, and widely celebrated in Afghanistan and Central Asia\, Bedil belonged to the syncretic Indo-Persian culture that had evolved over centuries. While Bedil wrote in the Persian language\, his mother tongue was Bengali\, and his thoughts and poetics were heavily influenced by Sanskrit philosophy and aesthetics. Bedil’s persona and his poetry are deeply rooted in the rich and complex Indo-Persian literary and cultural landscape. This literature festival at Princeton intends to bring together scholars\, students\, artists\, and community members to celebrate Bedil’s poetry and his legacy\, examine the multiple contexts of his work\, and explore the larger Indo-Persian literary and cultural landscape that he belonged to. \nA music concert by Humayun Khan Ensemble\, blending Bedil’s Persian poetry with Indian classical ragas will be one of the main highlights of our festival and will take place on Saturday\, September 24 at 7:00 pm in Maeder Hall Auditorium in the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment. Humayun Khan is an Afghan singer and composer who is known for his brilliant performances as a virtuosic vocalist and harmonium player. Humayun’s style of singing which blends Farsi poetry of the great masters with Indian classical Ragas will lend itself well to the theme of the festival. Humayun is formally trained\, both in the Indian classical music\, as well as the Sarahangi tradition of singing Bedil’s poetry in Afghanistan. \nThe academic conference is co-sponsored by the Department of Near Eastern Studies\, with support from Suresh S. Tata ’72. \nThe concert is co-sponsored by the Chadha Center for Global India\, the Center for Iran and Persian Gulf Studies\, the Humanities Council\, the Departments of Comparative Literature\, Music\, and Near Eastern Studies\, and the Program in Near Eastern Studies.

SUMMARY:Ask Your Questions\, a Belknap Visiting Fellows Residency with Daniel Alexander Jones
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Alexander Jones\, a Belknap Short-Term Visiting Fellow in Princeton’s Humanities Council\, collaborates with members of the Princeton community at the Lewis Center for the Arts to construct an altar over the course of a week-long residency. Centered around the prompt “Ask Your Questions\,” the conversations\, offerings\, building and activation of the altar will be rooted in the cultivation of intentional space for inquiry\, deep listening\, and consideration of traditional practices of presence\, particularly those rooted in Black Queer interiorities. Jones will weave the threads through formal class visits and presentations\, informal conversations\, open hours for drop-in collaboration\, and listening sessions with offerings from Jones and dialogue with attendees/participants. The week of residency will culminate in a dynamic duet between Jones and Dr. Deborah Paredez of Columbia University in an evening entitled Question/Generation (X) featuring both artists reading from their work and discussing not only their own questions\, but questions born of the week’s invitations\, followed by time for celebration. \nJones\, who will return to Princeton in the Spring of 2023\, is a commissioned artist of The Toni Morrison Project. He will include reflections on his research into Morrison’s storied career in his conversations\, and as a major part of his contribution to the week’s altar. \n12-4 PM — Open Hours \n6-8 PM — Listening Session

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Mario Moore
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk by artist Mario Moore to celebrate the installation of his painting The Great Reckoning in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. \nThe work depicts Moore’s ancestor\, Thomas Moore\, a Black Union Army soldier who fought in the Civil War\, as he distances himself from a rearing white horse. A parchment inscribed with Frederick Douglass’s 1863 speech urging Black men to take up arms in service of the Union lays at the soldier’s feet\, a counterpart to the Confederate flag under the horse’s hooves. With these dueling symbols\, the artist invites us to consider the contested histories that link our pasts and present. \nThis program is cosponsored by the Princeton University Art Museum\, the Lewis Center for the Arts\, and the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs.

SUMMARY:Returning to Ambrogio Lorenzetti’s Government Frescoes
DESCRIPTION:Ambrogio Lorenzetti’s paintings in the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena are among the most famous monuments of late medieval art\, celebrated for their unusually secular imagery and their evocative enumeration of the ideals of the Sienese Commune. This talk proposes that much of the vast scholarship on the paintings has fundamentally misread their communicative strategies\, seeing them as straightforward propagandistic statements. Setting aside the iconographic\, stylistic\, and social-historical methods that have been repeatedly applied to the paintings\, I turn instead to their visual rhetoric and pictorial operations. The paintings are best understood within the context of the widespread Trecento practice of diagrammatic painting; through this lens\, they emerge as complex\, ambivalent\, and contingent images. The paintings do not just communicate stable political meanings; they enable viewers to generate meaning themselves—to use the images\, not merely view them. The paintings’ visual rhetoric is explored both through a close reading and reappraisal of their pictorial structures and also through comparison with other diagrammatic painted allegories of the period.

SUMMARY:Caribbean Studies Speakers Series (CSSS)– “Tuning into the Caribbean: Sonic Practices and Technologies”
DESCRIPTION:The Caribbean Studies Speakers Series (CSSS) represents a collective effort to foreground Caribbean Studies at Princeton University by convening a group of scholars on the basis of their innovative research in and on the region. The series will consist of three panels\, to take place on September 22\, October 31\, and November 15 of 2022. This first panel\, “Tuning into the Caribbean: Sonic Practices and Technologies\,” will feature leading scholars of Caribbean Sound Studies: Alejandra Bronfman (The State University of New York at Albany)\, Ren Ellis Neyra (Wesleyan University)\, and Carter Mathes (Rutgers University)\, as well as Princeton Professor Christina León (English) as discussant. \nIn his seminal work Poetics of Relation (1990)\, Martinican poet and philosopher Édouard Glissant invites the reader to auscultate the Plantation matrix\, that is\, to examine its guts and memory by listening to it closely. A term borrowed from medical discourse\, “to auscultate” entails using an ear or a stethoscope to tune into an interior sound\, whether it emanates from a human body\, vibrates throughout a text or reverberates within a space. What does it mean\, then\, to auscultate the Caribbean? And why is it imperative that we do so today? This series aims to explore modes of listening to Caribbean cultural production that interrogate the region’s histories and cultures. As our site of focus\, the Caribbean—in its insular\, archipelagic\, continental\, and diasporic forms—constitutes a critical zone that informs and allows us to grasp contemporary processes of migration\, dispossession\, devastation\, decolonization\, anti-imperialism\, and memorialization. \nThis event is made possible by the generous support of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese\, the Department of African American Studies\, the Humanities Council\, Princeton Graduate Student Government\, the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS)\, the Princeton Program in Latin American Studies (PLAS)\, and the University Center for Human Values.

SUMMARY:Working for the Emperor: Behind the Scenes at Antium
DESCRIPTION:In 1711\, fragments of a monumental inscription (known today as the Fasti Antiates Ministrorum Domus Augustae) were found in the fill of a small\, unusual room located behind the scaenae frons of a theater on the site of the imperial villa at Antium. The room seems to have served as the meeting hall for a voluntary association comprised of the enslaved and formerly-enslaved men who worked on the site for the emperor\, taking care of the villa’s treasures\, which included marble sculptures and imported works like the bronze krater of Mithridates Eupator.This talk will look at how we can use this inscription and other material\, mostly funerary\, to see imperial palaces and villas in a new way – looking beyond their characterization in literary authors as places of extravagance and luxury\, to see them as places of work and community. \nMolly Swetnam-Burland received her PhD in Classical Art and Archaeology from the University of Michigan\, and teaches at William and Mary. She is the author of Egypt in Italy: Visions of Egypt in Roman Imperial Culture (Cambridge 2015) and co-editor of Reuse and Renovation in Roman Material Culture: Functions\, Aesthetics\, Interpretations (Cambridge 2018) and Women’s Lives\, Women’s Voices: Roman Material Culture and Female Agency in the Bay of Naples (Texas 2021). \nPlease RSVP to Barbara Leavey.

SUMMARY:Life at Berkou: a newly-discovered Roman fortress in Egypt
DESCRIPTION:In 2020\, just before the onset of the Covid pandemic\, the French Archaeological Mission to the Eastern Desert (MAFDO) began excavations at the remote desert site of al-Ghozza\, located near the Imperial Roman hardstone quarries of Mons Porphyrites and Mons Claudianus in Egypt’s remote mountains adjacent to the Red Sea. While most of the site’s remains were related to a third-century BCE occupation linked to gold extraction in the nearby mountains\, adjacent to this older settlement the team discovered and fully excavated a small but very well-preserved Roman military fortress\, called Berkou in the ancient texts found at the site. Only occupied for a few decades\, the fortress offers a snapshot of military life during the height of early Imperial expansion into this remote region\, and provides a valuable glimpse of military supply and organization during the Flavian era.
