SUMMARY:"The Geometries of Afro Asia”
DESCRIPTION:Joan Kee\n” The Geometries of Afro Asia”\n[Response: Irene V. Small]\nTuesday\, April 25\, 2023 @5pm ET\nN107 (School of Architecture) \nHow do we embark on a history of art from the assumption of a global majority\, outside of essentializing categories like race or hollow proclamations of solidarity? With this book\, Joan Kee presents a framework for understanding the rich and surprisingly understudied relationship between Black and Asian artists and the worlds they initiate through their work. \nThe Geometries of Afro Asia breaks down this relationship and chronology into points\, angles\, and trajectories. Spanning North America\, Europe\, Asia\, and Africa\, Kee looks at the relationships that formed between Black and Asian artists at critical historical junctures—from civil rights struggles in the United States and the development of South Korea amid US military occupation in the 1960s and 1970s to debates over multiculturalism and critiques of globalization in the 1990s and 2010s. Through geometry\, a language of magnitudes and alignments\, Kee opens up new ways of seeing how artworks shape our lives and politics by getting us to commit some of our most valuable resources—time and attention—to one another. \nJoan Kee is Professor in the History of Art at the University of Michigan and a Ford Foundation Scholar in Residence at MoMA. A contributing editor at Artforum\, Kee’s books include Cotnemporary Korean Art: Tansaekhwa and the Urgency of Method (2013)\, Models of Integrity: Art and Law in Post Sixties America (2019) and The Geometries of Afro Asia: Art Beyond Solidarity (2023). \nIrene V. Small is Associate Professor of Contemporary Art & Criticism in the Department of Art & Archaeology at Princeton University\, and associated faculty in the Program in Latin American Studies and the Department of Spanish & Portuguese. She is the author of Hélio Oiticica: Folding the Frame (University of Chicago Press\, 2016). A new book\, The Organic Line: Towards a Topology of Modernism\, is forthcoming from Zone Books in 2024. She is currently Acting Co-Director of the Program in Media & Modernity.

SUMMARY:Las desmayadas. Un recorrido entre el desmayo y la voz de las mujeres
DESCRIPTION:Una adolescente se desmaya como una forma súbita de interrumpir el mundo. Muere su padre\, su madre vive astillada por el duelo\, y mientras la muerte cruza el jardín de su casa como un relámpago\, también se despliega su enérgico viaje de iniciación por el sexo\, la hermandad y los afectos nuevos\, en una Buenos Aires pesadillesca de los primeros años 80. Esta fábula autobiográfica narra las aventuras radiantes de tres hermanas que\, cada tanto\, para seguir viviendo\, se desmayan\, como si se tratara de un arte y de una poética. ¿Es el desmayo algo que solo le sucede a las mujeres? Al calor de la militancia feminista escribí esta Fabula Autobiográfica\, sobre la vida con mis hermanas y madre en medio de la guerra de Malvinas y los abortos ilegales. Lo personal es político\, me acompañaba desde hacía años en mi practica feminista como curadora y gestora en ciclos literarios que pergeñé con énfasis en lo afectivo y en la generación de comunidad entre lxs escritorxs\, un poco aislados entre sí y también de otrxs artistxs. Confesionario\, Historia de mi vida privada\, fue uno de los más destacados y la consigna Primera persona- Verdadero – Confesional en lecturas públicas\, pregnó y se viralizó como ya lo había hecho mi ciclo anterior Lecturas + Música. La Marea verde fue el tiempo y el espacio\, Ahora es cuando\, de redoblar la apuesta de esas dos décadas de experiencia en la Escritura del Yo y en las lecturas públicas. Cada semana durante todo el 2018 frente al Congreso Nacional apliqué toda la practica adquirida y lideré la convocatoria de escritoras a leer sus historias de vida Feminismo: autobiografías interconectadas\, dijo Judith Butler. Y así resultó. Mis libros\, mi gestión cultural y mis ideas de derechos y feminismo se unieron como nunca antes. \nCecilia Szperling es escritora\, periodista y activista. Nació y vive en la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Sus obras narrativas han recibido premios y fueron publicadas en Argentina y Europa. Sus obras narrativas han recibido premios y fueron publicadas en Argentina y Europa. Creó ciclos literarios\, programas de radio y tv\, escribió guiones para documentales\, artículos para medios gráficos masivos y ha curado fanzines boutique. Se especializa en escritura autobiográfica\, dicta talleres en el Centro Cultural Rector Ricardo Rojas de la Universidad de Buenos Aires\, en la Universidad Torcuato Di Tella y en London Spanish Book & Zine Fair\, además de charlas en la Universidad de Amsterdam\, Pittsburgh\, Goethe\, entre otras. Publicó la antología Confesionario 1 y 2 (editorial Eudeba)\, El futuro de los artistas (Ediciones De la Flor\, Premio Antorchas) Seleccion Natural (Adriana Hidalgo Editora\, Finalista del Premio Clarín\, traducida al inglés y publicada en UK)\, El año de la militancia verde (MIráComoNosLeemos Indie Libros) y La máquina de proyectar sueños (editorial Interzona\, Paripé Books España) Las Desmayadas (Emecé Editores Planeta). \nCOMENTARISTA: Gabriela Nouzeilles\, PLAS and Spanish and Portuguese\, Princeton University \nThis event will be held in Spanish. \nOpen to students\, faculty\, visiting scholars\, staff and specially invited guests. \nA boxed lunch will be provided while supplies last.

SUMMARY:Inside the Mind of the Influencing Machine: Set Design in the Age of Cold War Television
DESCRIPTION:Join the Committee for Film Studies for the third and final lecture in our spring 2023 series that brings prominent film scholars into conversation with members of the Princeton community. This event features Weihong Bao\, Associate Professor of Film and Media at the University of California-Berkeley. \nTalk title\n“Inside the Mind of the Influencing Machine: Set Design in the Age of Cold War Television” \nAbstract\nThis talks considers “influence” as an atmospheric notion of media that binds mind and society at the onset of the cold war and rise of television. Influence\, in this context\, does not entail a one-way traffic but a structure of interdependence\, relying on a new notion of set design that orchestrates a system of responses and reactions that produces resonances and dissonances\, signal and noise. Situated at the early era of the People’s Republic (1949-) in the decade between the ideological campaign of Thought Reform (1951-1952) and Great Leap Forward (1958-1962) movement\, I examine how the “cool media” of television (McLuhan) reconfigures set design through a new set of technological and human assembly. With this framework\, I return to the site of television production\, not as the origin of signal dissemination\, but the node where issues of transmission\, amplification\, and reception informs and shapes the very production process. This understanding of television as wireless and human infrastructure reveals how the celebrated liveness and immediacy of television involved intricate task of coordination and synchronization\, putting a new demand on human attention and labor with implications on acting\, directing\, and editing. Probing the influencing machinery and aesthetics of television in connection with other media\, my talk highlights the tension intrinsic to influence caught between a climatic regime of power and aesthetic operations of resonances\, between spatial-temporal axes of enclosure and porosity\, stasis and motion. \nWeihong Bao is Associate Professor of Film and Media at UC-Berkeley. She is the author of Fiery Films: The Emergence of an Affective Medium in China\, 1915-1945 (University of Minnesota Press\, 2015)\, honored by the Modernist Studies Association Best Book Prize in 2016. She has co-edited two special issues Media/Climates (Representations 2022) and Medium/Environment (Critical Inquiry 2023). She is currently completing a book\, “Background Matters: Set Design and The Art of Environment.” The book examines the co-emergence of environmental thinking and set design from early to mid-twentieth century China\, across film\, theater\, architecture\, and television. She is the editor-in-chief for The Journal of Chinese Cinemas and co-edits the “film theory in media history” book series published by Amsterdam University Press. \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:Debt Working Group | Colonial Debts: The Case of Puerto Rico
DESCRIPTION:With the largest municipal debt in US history and a major hurricane that destroyed much of the archipelago’s infrastructure\, Puerto Rico has emerged as a key site for the exploration of neoliberalism and disaster capitalism. In Colonial Debts Rocío Zambrana develops the concept of neoliberal coloniality in light of Puerto Rico’s debt crisis. Drawing on decolonial thought and praxis\, Zambrana shows how debt functions as an apparatus of predation that transforms how neoliberalism operates. Debt functions as a form of coloniality\, intensifying race\, gender\, and class hierarchies in ways that strengthen the colonial relationship between Puerto Rico and the United States. Zambrana also examines the transformation of protest in Puerto Rico. From La Colectiva Feminista en Construcción’s actions\, long-standing land rescue/occupation in the territory\, to the July 2019 protests that ousted former governor Ricardo “Ricky” Rosselló\, protests pursue variations of decolonial praxis that subvert the positions of power that debt installs. As Zambrana demonstrates\, debt reinstalls the colonial condition and adapts the racial/gender order essential to it\, thereby emerging as a key site for political-economic subversion and social rearticulation. \n\nThe Debt Working Group brings together faculty\, graduate students\, and staff who are interested in studying debt from an interdisciplinary perspective. The group addresses issues such as the history and legitimacy of sovereign debt; the (un)sustainability and fairness of consumer debt; the logics of colonial and ecological debts; the affective valences of debt as they appear in debates about reparations/repair; debt as a language of morality and as a narratological device; the plural temporalities and spaces of debt; and debt as a tool of governance and subjectivation. \nFor more information and readings\, please contact organizers Nicolás Sánchez-Rodríguez (Society of Fellows\, Spanish and Portuguese) at nico.sanchez@princeton.edu\, JahAsia Jacobs (Anthropology) at jfjacobs@princeton.edu\, or Alberto E. Morales (Program in Latin American Studies\, Anthropology) at alberto.morales@princeton.edu.

SUMMARY:PLAS Graduate Workshop | Alex Diaz-Hui & Julia Kornberg
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTER: Alex Diaz-Hui\, Ph.D. candidate\, Department of English \n“Anticolonial Ensembles in the Américas: Collective Voice and Authorship in the Late Twentieth-Century” \nAnticolonial Ensembles in the Américas: Collective Voice and Authorship in the Late-Twentieth Century asks how Hispanophone Caribbean poets and performers think of their work not as individual acts\, but rather wider collectives and networks throughout the Caribbean\, the Américas\, and West Africa. I examine different venues for performance\, including poetry open mics\, theatrical spaces\, and nightclubs to underscore how the Hispanophone Caribbean and its diaspora think of their works as produced in ensembles. By analyzing ephemera\, music recordings\, and audiovisual material\, I bring to light various elements of cohabitation in performance that considers how ensembles can create new configurations of authorship in the American and Caribbean literary canon. \nAlex Diaz-Hui is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of English and Program in Latin American Studies at Princeton. He is originally from the Pacific Northwest\, where he received his BA (summa cum laude) from Portland State University and his MA from Oregon State University. Alex writes on Caribbean poetics and music\, sound studies\, ethnomusicology\, and music technology. Alex is also a multi-instrumentalist\, producer\, and noise artist who works in a variety of musical genres. \nDISCUSSANT: Lilianne Lugo Herrera (Ph.D.\, University of Miami) Theatre Arts; PLAS Postdoctoral Research Associate and Lecturer \n_______________________________________ \nPRESENTER: Julia Kornberg\, Ph.D. candidate\, Department of Spanish and Portuguese \n“Translation is a virus: exophony and exile in Copi’s life and work” \nTranslation is a virus: exophony and exile in Copi’s life and work analyzes the fundamental figure of translation as a central category to understand Copi (née Raúl Damonte Taborda)\, his work in theater and literature\, and the subversive usage of the French language in his narratives about exiled Argentines and Uruguayans in Paris. Through an analysis of La Internacional Argentina and La ciudad de las ratas\, and an extensive look into the archival sources of Copi’s work found at the IMEC institute in France\, my work proposes that the figure of translation works as a viral pathology in Copi’s work\, inundating everything – from the conception of the manuscripts to the narrative structures and the world that his characters inhabit – and becoming a key category to understand his work. By drawing from the notions of translation developed by Walter Benjamin\, Jorge Luis Borges and Lawrence Venuti\, I propose that the figure of translation has\, then\, the capacity of crystallizing and disentangling the inter-lingual space of Copi’s work\, which takes place between Spanish and French\, as well as the glotopolitically subversive character of his novels. \nJulia Kornberg is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and IHUM. Her dissertation looks into the relationship of Latin American writers to translation during the Cold War\, following four cases in Argentina\, Cuba and Brazil. In 2021\, she published her first novel Atomizado Berlín with Club Hem in Argentina and Scaraboquio in Mexico. Her second novel\, Las Fiestas\, is forthcoming with Editorial Sigilo. She has contributed with literary criticism to magazines such as The Drift\, Bookforum\, The Baffler\, The Believer\, Astra Magazine and The Los Angeles Review of Books. \nDISCUSSANT: Neil Blackadder\, Translator in Residence\, Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication (PTIC) \nMODERATOR: Pablo Pryluka\, Ph.D. candidate\, Department of History \nOpen to students\, faculty\, visiting scholars and staff . A boxed lunch will be provided while supplies last.

SUMMARY:Leaping Clear of the Many and the One
DESCRIPTION:The apparent duality of “the universal” and “the particular” arises from what a Buddhist might call “primal confusion”: the sensory-cognitive delusion that phenomena exist as distinct\, individual entities whose existence is separate from everything and everyone else. Like many confusions and delusions\, this one often encodes real power and creates real-world conflict. And yet\, there are moments—listening to music\, reading a novel\, looking at a painting\, sitting zazen—when we glimpse the illusory nature of this separation\, and the trappings of self drop away. In his famous fascicle\, “Genjo Koan\,” the 13th-century Zen master Dogen Zenji points at this truth of anattā (no-self\, non-self)\, when he wrote\, “The Way is in essence leaping clear of the many and the one.” Art allows us to make this leap\, too\, and indeed relies upon our leaping for its existence. Drawing on her most recent novel\, The Book of Form and Emptiness\, Ozeki will explore ideas\, states of mind\, and ways of being that can cut through these illusory distinctions and put us back together.

SUMMARY:Maritime Buddhist Art of the East Asian “Mediterranean\,” ca. 900–1200
DESCRIPTION:How did maritime connectivity reconfigure the cultural boundaries of Buddhist East Asia during the medieval period? What is the role of seafaring ports in object mobility and in forming a Buddhist art different from that derived from the land routes of transmission? This lecture examines how the interwoven networks of ports and intermediaries facilitated the production and circulation of Buddhist artisanal crafts across the China Seas around the 10th to the 13th centuries. It will show that an ever-increasing need to guide and protect ships at sea gave rise to new forms of art\, while also endowing existing forms and symbols with new meanings. Moreover\, the particulars of boats and ships dictated the sizes\, scale\, as well as the types of art and artifacts transportated across the sea. Going beyond territorial boundaries\, this “maritime Buddhist art” show features that refute the center-periphery model often applied to the history of East Asian Buddhist art.

SUMMARY:Translators in Publishing
DESCRIPTION:Where do academic\, literary and editorial worlds collide? How can translators\, as editors\, disrupt the paradigms into which their books are inevitably forced to be read? What does the current editorial landscape look like\, particularly for Latin America\, Iberian and/or Luso-African literatures\, and how might we imagine it otherwise? In this final roundtable\, we’ll engage with two poets who have consistently challenged hegemonic models through translation and translation publishing. We’ll also take a closer look at poetry as an often-under-addressed genre and its potential to radically alter the literary canon. \nCo-sponsored by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese\, the Program in Latin American Studies\, and the Humanities Council.

SUMMARY:Poetry and War: Readings from Feuillets D'Hypnos by René Char
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a reading of selections from René Char’s journal of the French Resistance\, Feuillets d’Hypnos/ Leaves of Hypnos\, in translations produced by students\, graduate students\, and guests. The program is the culminating event in Humanistic Studies 423\, a semester-long course taught by Sandra Bermann that has studied the poetry of René Char in its historical context as well as in its global afterlife in translation. \nWritten in violent times and moments of deep introspection\, Feuillets d’Hypnos/Leaves of Hypnos is a collection of 237 short prose poems of unusual complexity and ongoing inspiration. Widely read since its initial publication by Albert Camus in 1946\, it has been translated into more than 30 languages in varied historical and temporal contexts. \nThe study of the text and its many translations has engaged students in readings from Princeton’s recently acquired René Char archive\, housed in Special Collections. Thanks to a Magic Grant from the Council of the Humanities and the generous collaboration of the poet’s widow\, Marie-Claude Char\, the students also traveled to France to visit libraries\, art museums\, and sites related to Char’s role in the Resistance\, including his home in Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and his wartime headquarters in the village of Céreste. All provided insights into this text from the French Resistance—and into poetry’s power to cross time and place through the power of translation. Throughout the term\, students and colleagues created some exciting new translations of the poetic work. This presentation\, in which Marie-Claude Char will be a reader\, shares this work with the public. \nThe event is in English\, French\, and various languages.\nThe production is directed by Florent Masse.

SUMMARY:Memento by Hala Moughanie: A staged reading
DESCRIPTION:A stranger shows up in the main square of a village. He’s expecting to buy the land on behalf of his company\, which plans to turn it into a profitable rice field. As he waits for the seller who was supposed to meet him there\, he talks with a woman whom he takes to be the caretaker of this land where the vegetation is inexplicably dying. She’s a rebellious woman who speaks in enigmatic language\, and makes clear that she feels herself viscerally connected to the earth—a perspective incompatible with the stranger’s project. \nMemento by Hala Moughanie\, translated from French (Lebanon) and directed by Neil Blackadder\, Program in Translation Translator in Residence\, features Megan Pan ’23 and Jay White ’24 and is stage managed by Milan Eldridge. This fable explores the possibility of a true meeting between two beings who are fundamentally opposed to each other.

SUMMARY:The medieval transmission of ancient knowledge in colonial and post-colonial narratives: moving beyond them with help from the Greek and Arabic grammarians
DESCRIPTION:Since the sixteenth century\, the transmission of knowledge from antiquity to modernity was pieced together as follows: the sciences were born in the ancient Near East and Egypt. They were received in the ancient Greek world and were furnished with a theoretical background in philosophy. Philosophy and science were cherished in the Roman world but died out by the seventh century. They were soon received by the Arabs through the Greek-to-Arabic translation movement of the ninth and tenth centuries. They were repatriated to Europe through an Arabic-to-Latin translation movement in the twelfth century. Their definitive and qualitatively superior repatriation occurred in the fifteenth century\, when Byzantine scholars fleeing the Ottoman empire brought to Europe their knowledge of the Greek language and manuscripts of the ancient Greek authors. This narrative was further elaborated in the colonial conditions of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Post-colonial critics attacked many of its components but have not proposed any new and comprehensive narrative. The lecture will use the example of grammar to explain how this master narrative can be replaced and what the political implications of doing so are. \n\n\n\n\nSponsored by the Eberhard L.

SUMMARY:Confused by All the Chatter? Journalists\, Researchers & Policymakers Talk Chatbots and Other Large Language Models
DESCRIPTION:As part of the CITP Digital Investigators Conference\, the public is invited to join in person or virtually for this event. Please register here to attend in person. The livestream will be available here. \nPowerful new technologies like OpenAI’s “ChatGPT” or Google’s “Bard” have sparked excitement over the potential they have to transform how we work\, learn and communicate for the better. But their potential harms also trigger fears and unease. As a result\, the public discourse around such large language models (LLMs) can be noisy or chaotic. \nCITP has convened a panel of experts from the journalism\, tech research and public policy sectors to discuss their experiences with – and approaches to – engaging with these emerging technologies in their respective professions. We will also talk about the responsibilities journalists and academics may have in shaping the public conversation around digital technologies\, and how they can support each other’s work for the benefit of the public. \nThis event is cosponsored by the Brown Institute for Media Innovation\, CITP’s Digital Witness Lab\, the Pulitzer Center and the Humanities Council’s Program in Journalism.
