SUMMARY:Sites of Memory: A Symposium on Toni Morrison and the Archive
DESCRIPTION:Sites of Memory: A Symposium on Toni Morrison and the Archive brings together scholars\, artists\, writers\, and activists to celebrate\, interrogate\, and reflect upon the archive in relation to Toni Morrison’s writing\, her teaching\, and her public intellectual work. The event is part of a year of programming surrounding the Spring 2023 exhibition Toni Morrison: Sites of Memory. While Morrison’s literary output is well known\, this symposium breaks new ground by inviting attendees to think with her archive\, the Toni Morrison Papers\, about less recognized aspects of her art: her composition practices\, her unpublished writings\, and her daily life as a teacher at Princeton. In presentations\, conversations\, and performances\, participants and attendees will think capaciously about the archive\, taking it up as performance\, as idea\, and as something that gets articulated in published and un-published work. Across three days\, we will explore the scope of Morrison’s archive\, its central place in Princeton’s history and intellectual life\, and its status as an entry point for reconsidering Morrison’s creative work and the way it continues to shape art\, writing\, and performance. \nTaking inspiration from Morrison’s investment in collaboration and innovative programming\, the symposium’s schedule includes: a keynote lecture; a plenary conversation; five roundtables curated by Morrison scholars; commissioned performances by artists Mame Diarra Spies and Daniel Alexander Jones at The McCarter Theatre;  and additional campus programming. Across these events\, the symposium emphasizes how the Morrison Papers is very much a living archive–a site of collaboration\, innovation\, and experimentation. Speakers include: Edwidge Danticat (Author)\, Allison Saar (Sculptor & Independent Artist)\, Evie Shockley (Rutgers University & Poet)\, Riley Snorton (University of Chicago)\, Dana A. Williams (Howard University)\, Stephen Best (University of California\, Berkeley)\, Sarah Jane Cervenak (University of North Carolina\, Greensboro)\, Angie Cruz (University of Pittsburgh)\,\n \nThe symposium\, a Humanities Council Magic Project\, will convene on Thursday\, March 23 at 5pm and will close on Saturday evening\, March 25th. Our opening keynote on Thursday afternoon features Edwidge Danticat followed by an opening reception. Saturday afternoon’s closing plenary features  Evie Schokley and Alison Saar and will be followed by a closing reception.   \nYou can find the full program here.

SUMMARY:Musicology Colloquium Series: Echoes of the Great Catastrophe: Re-Sounding Anatolian Greekness in Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Panayotis League will discuss his recently-published monograph\, which explores the legacy of the Great Catastrophe—the death and expulsion from Turkey of 1.5 million Greek Christians following the Greco-Turkish War of 1919–1922—through the music and dance practices of Greek refugees and their descendants over the last one hundred years. The book draws extensively on original ethnographic research conducted in Greece (on the island of Lesvos in particular) and in the Greater Boston area\, as well as on the author’s lifetime immersion in the North American Greek diaspora. Through analysis of handwritten music manuscripts\, homemade audio recordings\, and contemporary live performances\, the presentation traces the routes of repertoire and style over generations and back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean\, investigating the ways that the particular musical traditions of the Anatolian Greek community have contributed to their understanding of their place in the global Greek diaspora and the wider post-Ottoman world. \nThis event is free\, un-ticketed.

SUMMARY:"Asiiskusiipuw" Munsee Language Revitalization
DESCRIPTION:Join Ian McCallum\, graduate student at the University of Toronto\, officer in the Indigenous Education Office for the Ontario Ministry of Education\, and member of the Munsee-Delaware First Nation for a virtual lecture about the river that is important to the history of the Munsee people: “Asiiskusiipuw\,” “Muddy River\,” or “Thames River.” \nIn the summer of 2021\, a group of Munsee-Delaware community members and academics paddled the Thames river\, starting from downtown London to the Munsee Delaware Nation. The purpose of the trip was to document Munsee history\, language and culture. The group documented plant\, bird\, animal and insect species to support language revitalization. The trip gave insight into the seasonal practices of the Munsee people and the importance of the location of settlement. Community members also related details about the original settlements\, corn fields\, the War of 1812\, and the importance of the Munsee community as a center in Upper Canada. \nRegister via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Feral Atlas: Toward a Collaborative Environmental Humanities
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime conversation on Feral Atlas: The More-than Human Anthropocene\, participatory projects\, and the Environmental Humanities.\nFeral Atlas invites you to explore the ecological worlds created when nonhuman entities become tangled up with human infrastructure projects. Seventy-nine field reports from scientists\, humanists\, and artists show you how to recognize “feral” ecologies\, that is\, ecologies that have been encouraged by human-built infrastructures\, but which have developed and spread beyond human control. These infrastructural effects\, Feral Atlas argues\, are the Anthropocene. \nA speaker series co-sponsored by: The English Department’s Contemporary Poetry Colloquium\, the High Meadows Environmental Institute\, the Environmental Media Lab\, the Bain-Swiggett Poetry Fund\, the Effron Center for the Study of America\, the Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in the Humanities\, and the University Center for Human Values.

SUMMARY:Religion\, the Secular\, and Machines in Between
DESCRIPTION:John Lardas Modern is Arthur and Katherine Shadek Professor of the Humanities and Religious Studies at Franklin and Marshall College. He will be in conversation with CCSR Postdoctoral Fellow Suzanne van Geuns. His most recent book asks how the brain has become the locus of who we are. It takes us from Jonathan Edwards’s imprint on cognitive science to electrical shocks being administered in the making of both a heterosexual mind and the “normal” religious person.\nModern is the author of The Bop Apocalypse: The Religious Visions of Kerouac\, Ginsberg\, and Burroughs (2001)\, Secularism in Antebellum America (2011)\, and most recently\, Neuromatic; or\, a Particular History of Religion and the Brain (2021)\, winner of the International Society for Science and Religion’s 2022 Best Book Award. Modern is also the Principal Investigator for Machines in Between (2021-23)\, a multi-media project funded by the Henry Luce Foundation and the Center for Sustained Engagement with Lancaster. Machines in Between is an audio-visual experiment that reimagines our present state of technological saturation. It is part mixtape\, surreal performance\, and philosophical experiment\, asking “What do we love when we love our machines?”\nThis event is part of the Religion and the Public Conversation series. The theme for the 2022-2023 year is “Religion and Technology: From Codex to Coding.”\nThis conversation will be livestreamed. Please register to attend the live webinar.

SUMMARY:Winckelmann’s Epistolary Art
DESCRIPTION:Over the two and half centuries since he met his violent end in Trieste\, the correspondence of Johann Joachim Winckelmann\, the traditional ‘founder’ of classical archaeology\, has grown as important to the formation of his legend as his published writings on art. His letters\, and the life story to which they promise access\, were crucial to his canonisation as a figure of emulation for students of classics in Germany; they also played a central role in the quest for ‘Uranian’ ancestors among activists in the burgeoning European homosexual emancipation movement of the 1890s. In this talk I will respectfully interrogate these traditions\, seeking to do justice to their importance while also criticising the ways in which they have establish a sharp (and anachronistic) divide between ‘private’ and ‘public’ categories of Winckelmann’s literary production. Turning to the educational contexts of Winckelmann’s childhood and youth and the rich evidence his manuscripts provide of his reading in Latin and vernacular authors\, I shall argue that Winckelmann practised an epistolary art grounded in classical and early modern epistolary convention. Viewed in this perspective\, his letters construct a set of queerly desiring personae more varied and interesting than traditional readings have revealed.

SUMMARY:"Nightmare Landscapes\, Ambient Splendor\, and the End(s) of Art"
DESCRIPTION:Neferti X. M. Tadiar\n“Nightmare Landscapes\, Ambient Splendor\, and the End(s) of Art”\n[Response: Paul Nadal]\nTuesday\, March 28\, 2023 @5pm ET\nN107 (School of Architecture) \nIn this talk\, Neferti Tadiar shares readings of contemporary Philippine art in the context of catastrophe from her book Remaindered Life. She reads the work of Kiri Dalena\, Lyra Garcellano\, and others in intricate\, expressive relation to the nightmare landscapes proffered by a global fantasy of city everywhere\, an uber-urban world built on unimpeded value-productive movement\, connection\, and circulation\, which demands and depends on relentless violent life-expenditures through war. Dwelling on these works’ affective sensibility of the life of the dispossessed imprinted within these very landscapes\, their rendering of the ambient splendor of remaindered life\, Tadiar asks what in this context might be the end(s) of art. \nNeferti X. M. Tadiar is Professor of Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at Barnard College\, Columbia University. She is the author of Things Fall Away: Philippine Historical Experience and the Makings of Globalization; Fantasy-Production: Sexual Economies and Other Philippine Consequences for the New World Order; and most recently\, Remaindered Life. \nPaul Nadal is Assistant Professor of English and American Studies at Princeton University. An interdisciplinary scholar working at the intersection of literature and economy\, he is completing a book on novels and remittances in the Philippine diaspora\, a chapter of which appeared in American Quarterly and won the Best Essay Prize from the American Literature Society.

SUMMARY:Medieval Faculty Colloquium | Making Things Up: Improvisation in the Illustrated 'Cantigas de Santa María'
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Medieval Studies is pleased to offer the Faculty Colloquium series for Spring 2023. Pamela Patton (Art and Archaeology) will present this lunchtime talk on Wednesday\, March 29. \nPatton’s project-in-progress examines artistic improvisation in the two illustrated Cantigas de Santa María manuscripts now in the Escorial (RBME\, MS T-I-1) and Florence (Bib. Naz. MS b.r. 20). The creativity of these visual narratives\, made to accompany the text and music of the Cantigas when they were set down in a pair of deluxe codices around 1280 at the Sevillian court of their patron\, King Alfonso X of Castile\, has been widely recognized. Yet the degree to which the illustrations diverge from their companion texts—embroidering\, revising\, even subverting the details of the written/sung narratives—suggests an autonomy and even haphazardness that stands at odds with the modern vision of a well-ordered royal scriptorium. Patton’s project postulates that the rampant improvisations of the Cantigas illustrations reflect both the freedom enjoyed and the pressure endured by an atelier struggling to satisfy a prolific royal patron under challenging conditions. \nPlease RSVP for this event here.

SUMMARY:Book Talk "The Face of Peace: Government Pedagogy amid Disinformation in Colombia"
DESCRIPTION:Colombia’s 2016 peace agreement with the FARC guerrillas sought to end fifty years of war and won President Juan Manuel Santos the Nobel Peace Prize. Yet Colombian society rejected it in a polarizing referendum\, amid an emotive disinformation campaign. Gwen Burnyeat joined the Office of the High Commissioner for Peace\, the government institution responsible for peace negotiations\, to observe and participate in an innovative “peace pedagogy” strategy to explain the agreement to Colombian society. Burnyeat’s multi-scale ethnography reveals the challenges government officials experienced communicating with skeptical audiences and translating the peace process for public opinion. She argues that the fatal flaw in the peace process lay in government-society relations\, enmeshed in culturally liberal logics and shaped by the politics of international donors. The Face of Peace offers the Colombian case as a mirror to the global crisis of liberalism\, shattering the fantasy of rationality that haunts liberal responses to “post-truth” politics. \nABOUT OUR GUEST SPEAKER \nGwen Burnyeat is a Junior Research Fellow in Anthropology\, Merton College\, University of Oxford. She is also a winner of the 2023 Public Anthropologist Award. \nDISCUSSANT \nCatalina Muñoz\, History\, Universidad de los Andes\, Colombia; PLAS Visiting Research Scholar \nOpen to students\, faculty\, visiting scholars\, staff and specially invited guests. A boxed lunch will be provided while supplies last.

SUMMARY:Towards a New Understanding of the Late Imperial Corpora or How to Read An Anatomy of Lenses (Jingshi 鏡史)\, 1681
DESCRIPTION:A talk from Tina Lu\, Yale University. \nABSTRACT: \nAlthough it is mentioned in other seventeenth-century texts and strongly associated with Sun Yunqiu (~1630-1662)\, Jingshi (compiled sometime after 1681) was only rediscovered in 2015 as one of a handful of seventeenth-century Chinese texts that allude to a Chinese-made telescope. In both halves of my project—what Jingshi isn’t and what Jingshi is—I pose the same question: what did “Sun Yunqiu” do? A version of his life that originates from the Gazetteer of Tiger Hill (Hufu zhi 虎阜志) has become commonplace: he was an inventor\, and that he “spurred all the workshops of the city to fabricate glasses according to his methods and that they then spread everywhere.” I trace his contributions in both the lens-making workshop and in the book-making one. Both of these were collective ventures\, depending on multiple forms of expertise. In my presentation at Princeton\, I will be focusing on the second half: how a close look at Jingshi can show us what being an editor meant\, an understanding of books not just as political relics but as political organisms\, and the place of carvers in bookmaking.

SUMMARY:The Background Fantastic: Ambient Fantasy from YouTube to the Metaverse
DESCRIPTION:Join the Committee for Film Studies for the first lecture in our spring 2023 series that brings prominent film scholars into conversation with members of the Princeton community. This event features Paul Roquet\, associate professor of media studies and Japan studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. \nTalk title\n“The Background Fantastic: Ambient Fantasy from YouTube to the Metaverse” \nAbstract\nWhat happens when the heightened emotional environments of fantasy fiction and role-playing games are recruited as backdrops for the completion of everyday tasks? This talk examines the prominent role of fantasy settings in the spread of YouTube ‘ambience’ and ‘study with me’ videos\, as well as the fantasy backdrops so central to life in social VR. Situating ambient fantasy within the broader turn to magical thinking in twenty-first century American and Japanese popular culture\, I consider what it means to recruit the fantastic as an atmospheric resource for everyday mood regulation\, and what happens when these ambient horizons are enclosed within the algorithmic logic of commercial media platforms.​ \nPaul Roquet is associate professor of media studies and Japan studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the author of Ambient Media: Japanese Atmospheres of Self (Minnesota\, 2016) and The Immersive Enclosure: Virtual Reality in Japan (Columbia\, 2022). \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nThe spring 2023 lecture series is sponsored by the Humanities Council’s Committee for Film Studies. \nPlease email program manager Margo Bresnen at mbresnen@princeton.edu with any questions.

SUMMARY:Bhimrao Ambedkar\, John Dewey\, and the Evolution of Navayana Buddhism: Buddhist Studies Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Bhimrao Ambedkar is well known for his roles in anti-caste activism in India and his work in orchestrating vital parts of India’s democratic constitution. He was also famous at the end of his life for proffering a controversial new vision of Buddhism that was designed to create democratic communities and resist caste oppression. Uniting these concerns was a lifelong interest in themes\, methods\, and ideals from one of Ambedkar’s most important teachers\, John Dewey. In this talk\, Scott R. Stroud discusses some of the themes in his book\, The Evolution of Pragmatism in India: Ambedkar\, Dewey\, and the Rhetoric of Reconstruction (University of Chicago\, 2023)\, and illustrates the extensive influence of American pragmatism on Ambedkar’s development\, along with his creative appropriation and rejection of parts of Dewey’s thought to rethink Buddhism’s social potentials. \nDr. Scott R. Stroud is an Associate Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. He writes on various topics in ethics\, rhetoric\, and philosophy. He is the author of two academic books\, John Dewey and the Artful Life and Kant and the Promise of Rhetoric. He is the co-founder of the first “Center for John Dewey Studies” in India at Savitribai Phule Pune University. His recent book\, The Evolution of Pragmatism in India: Ambedkar\, Dewey\, and the Rhetoric of Reconstruction (University of Chicago/HarperCollins India\, 2023)\, is the most comprehensive account to date of Bhimrao Ambedkar’s encounter with Deweyan pragmatism at Columbia University during 1913-1916 and the ways it shaped his innovative pursuit of social justice in India.

SUMMARY:Oceanography Otherwise: Marine Methods in the Environmental Humanities
DESCRIPTION:In The Physical Geography of the Sea and its Meteorology (1855)\, Matthew Fontaine Maury blames a major ocean current for the commercial decline of the U.S. South. “The Gulf Stream\, the water-thermometer\, and the improvements in navigation\,” he writes\, “changed the [status] of Charleston — the great Southern emporium of the times — removing it from its position as a half-way house and placing it in the category of an outside station” (79-80). Although this claim might seem counterintuitive coming from the pioneering scientist who introduced the word “oceanography” into the scientific lexicon in 1859\, Maury’s biography renders it unsurprising. In 1861\, at the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War\, this “pathfinder of the seas” and “father of oceanography” would resign his commission as superintendent of the U.S. Naval Observatory and Hydrographic Office and join the Confederate navy (Grady 2015; Hardy and Rozwadowski 2020). \nToday\, the ocean’s thermohaline circulation\, a heat exchange system in which Maury’s much-maligned Gulf Stream plays an important role\, is destabilizing due to climate change. Scientists and humanists alike are fathoming the ocean’s centrality to the historical structures of oppression whose legacies now contribute to its biophysical degradation. But oceanography — a portmanteau of the Greek words for ocean and writing — remains “a discipline rarely engaged by humanities scholars” (Steinberg 2013). My talk asks why. \nFirst\, I follow the long wakes of imperial voyagers including early modern Portuguese mariners and Maury himself through scientific and cultural understandings of the ocean. This wake extends to the oceanic turn\, a scholarly current in the humanities whose very name is a near-literal\, if inadvertent translation of the Portuguese imperial volta do mar. From here\, I consider the “Afrofuturist marine biology” (Jue) of Nnedi Okorafor’s novel Lagoon (2015) alongside the civic practices of contemporary marine biologists and archaeologists who are transforming science communication and fieldwork in light of racial justice. By bringing literary studies into conversation with the multidisciplinary scientific study of the global ocean\, I hope to prompt a conversation on method in environmental humanities that will help us all\, whatever our home fields happen to be\, imagine and inhabit more just ocean worlds “otherwise.” \nAli Glassie is a lecturer on history and literature at Harvard University\, working at the intersection of comparative literature\, environmental humanities\, and ocean history. Her current book project\, Atlantic Shapeshifters: Sea Literature’s Fluid Forms\, uses 20th century and contemporary literature in English\, Spanish\, and Portuguese to recover and center gendered and racialized experiences with the ocean. In doing so\, the book draws on her training in marine affairs and her professional experience at sea. Ali’s writing appears in ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment; Novel: A Forum on Fiction; Coriolis\, and sx/salon\, a literary platform of Small Axe. She has also published collaborative work on water justice in Bioscience and covered transatlantic yacht racing for Blue Water Sailing. \nCo-sponsored by the Effron Center for the Study of America\, High Meadows Environmental Institute\, and the English Department.

SUMMARY:Ut ekphrasis pictura: When Words Take Shape in Sir John Chardin’s Drawings of Muhammad’s Tomb in Mecca
DESCRIPTION:Violence might involve the fixation of our memorized images in words\, because\, as Italo Calvino says in his book Invisible Cities\, “memory’s images\, once they are fixed in words\, are erased”. Yet\, the continuing defamation of the imagined image of the prophet Muhammad in the West\, and the imagined descriptions of holy spaces strongly associated with Him\, like the Haram in Mecca and His tomb in Medina\, became topoi. Unlike Calvino’s memory images\, when fixed in words\, these images were not erased. In fact\, they function as tools and strategies of rhetoric. Legendary descriptions of the city of Lamech (Mecca) related by Christian travelers turned into common popular knowledge\, and\, like formulas\, were repeated\, thus gaining presence and certainty. \nAt the focus of this study are two drawings from the ex-collection of the Londoner writer and gardener (and perhaps one of the early modern environmentalist) John Evelyn (1620-1706). They display the earliest European renditions of the imaginary space of Mecca’s sacred enclosure. I would like to deepen into Calvino’s sense of violence of erasure that involves representations\, namely into the specific process when the object of our imagined or memorized image is made visible\, either by words or by drawings. I would like to contemplate on representation as a site\, in which the memory of images is lost and a new entity appears\, which acts as a barrier between the beholder and her or his memorized image.
