SUMMARY:LLL Presents | Period: The Real Story of Menstruation
DESCRIPTION:Kate Clancy offers a bold and revolutionary perspective on the science and cultural history of menstruation. Please join us. \nThis event had been planned as a hybrid event\, but we have had to cancel the livestreams for the rest of the spring season due to technical difficulties. We hope you can join us at Labyrinth! \nMenstruation is something half the world does for a week at a time\, for months and years on end\, yet it remains largely misunderstood. Scientists once thought of an individual’s period as useless\, and some doctors still believe it’s unsafe for a menstruating person to swim in the ocean wearing a tampon. Period counters the false theories that have long defined the study of the uterus\, exposing the eugenic history of gynecology while providing an intersectional feminist perspective on menstruation science. \nBlending interviews and personal experience with engaging stories from her own pioneering research\, Kate Clancy challenges a host of myths and false assumptions. There is no such a thing as a “normal” menstrual cycle. In fact\, menstrual cycles are incredibly variable and highly responsive to environmental and psychological stressors. Clancy takes up a host of timely issues surrounding menstruation\, from bodily autonomy\, menstrual hygiene\, and the COVID-19 vaccine to the ways racism\, sexism\, and medical betrayal warp public perceptions of menstruation and erase it from public life. \nOffering a revelatory new perspective on one of the most captivating biological processes in the human body\, Period will change the way you think about the past\, present\, and future of periods. \nKate Clancy is professor of anthropology at the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign\, where she holds appointments in the Department of Gender and Women’s Studies and the Program in Ecology\, Evolution\, and Conservation Biology\, and at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. She has written for National Geographic\, Scientific American\, and American Scientist. Catherine Clune-Taylor is Assistant Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies at Princeton University. Her research interests lie in the fields of Philosophy of Sex\, Gender and Sexuality\, Feminist Theory\, Bioethics\, Philosophy of Science (with particular emphasis on Philosophy of Biology and of Medicine) and the work of Michel Foucault. \nPLEASE NOTE The Library and Labyrinth Books are working with the local chapter of I Support the Girls\, a non-profit that collects and distributes bras and menstrual hygiene products for folks experiencing homelessness. We will have a collection bin at the event and will be accepting donations of new bras\, tampons\, maxi pads (thick and thin)\, individually wrapped feminine wipes\, and new underwear to distribute locally through organizations in the Princeton region doing anti-poverty work. To find out more about how you can support their mission of helping to make dignity the norm  visit I Support the Girls – Central/South NJ. \nThis event is co-presented by Labyrinth and the Princeton Public Library and cosponsored by Princeton University’s Humanities Council with additional support from the Program for Gender and Sexuality Studies.

SUMMARY:After the Yalta by Piotrowski: Questioning Europe in the history of art and architecture
DESCRIPTION:In 2009 there appeared an English translation of Piotr Piotrowski’s Yalta: Art and Avant-garde in Eastern Europe. Thanks to this work the history of art and culture of the second half of the 20th century has expanded its geographical horizon beyond the Iron Curtain. A recent publication of the French translation by Presses du Réel furthers the questioning of cultural geography\, the interrelations between arts and politics\, and the transference of methods across periods. By doing so it challenges the traditional hierarchies of protagonists in art historical narratives. The roundtable will serve as an occasion to discuss the relevance of these question by focusing on the reception of the oeuvre of Piotr Piotrowski (1952-2015) in various historiographic traditions and languages. \nSpeakers include: Jérôme Bazin\, Université de Créteil; Simona Girleanu\, ENS-PSL Sorbonne Université; Aleksander Musiał\, Princeton University; Léa Saint-Raymond\, ENS Ulm; Karolina Ziębińska-Lewandowska\, Museum of Warsaw \nRegister for this virtual event here.

SUMMARY:Confusion\, Nonsense\, and Consciousness: Poetry as a Source for a Novel Theory of Subjectivity
DESCRIPTION:For millennia\, philosophers have dedicated themselves to advancing understanding of the nature of truth and reality. In the process they have amassed a great deal of epistemological theory—knowledge about knowledge. But negative epistemological phenomena\, such as ignorance\, falsity\, illusion\, and delusion\, are persistently overlooked. This is surprising given that we all know how fallible humans are. An important exception to this rule is Spinoza who offers important resources for a novel theory of subjectivity according to which to be a subject is to be wrong about some parts of reality (including oneself as a subject). In my lecture\, I will argue that Spinoza was right to establish a connection between confusion and human mindedness. Moreover\, I will follow in his footsteps by showing how poetic speaking and thinking are able to articulate the nature of human subjectivity (being wrong) by sidestepping the standard conditions of sensemaking. \nMarkus Gabriel holds the chair for epistemology\, modern\, and contemporary philosophy at the University of Bonn. At Bonn he is the director of the International Center for Philosophy and the interdisciplinary Center for Science and Thought. He earned both his Dr. phil. and his habilitation from the University of Heidelberg. Before moving to Bonn\, he taught at the New School for Social Research. He has been a visiting professor and a fellow at UC Berkeley\, Stanford\, NYU\, Paris 1-Panthéon Sorbonne\, among other places. He is a recipient of an Alexander von Humboldt fellowship for experienced researcher and of the Paolo Bozzi award for ontology. His most recent books include Fictions (Cambridge: Polity\, 2023) and his forthcoming Sense\, Nonsense\, and Subjectivity (Cambridge\, MA: Harvard University Press). \nSponsored by the Eberhard L. Faber 1915 Memorial Fund in the Humanities Council.

SUMMARY:Media + Modernity: "Disability as Method”
DESCRIPTION:Mara Mills\n“Disability as Method”\n[Response: Viktoria Tkaczyk]\nTuesday\, September 12\, 2023 @5pm ET\nN107 (School of Architecture) \nScholars in disability studies began using the phrase “disability as method” across several disciplines in the 2010s\, to consider disability as a tool\, a theory\, an aesthetic\, and a source of new media. Mills will discuss Crip Authorship: Disability as Method (August 2023)\, coedited with Rebecca Sanchez\, a volume that convenes this scholarship across literature\, the arts\, anthropology\, and media studies. In conversation with Viktoria Tkaczyk\, she will also discuss her work on “disability as method” in the history of science. \nMara Mills is Associate Professor of Media\, Culture\, and Communication at New York University and founding co-director of the NYU Center for Disability Studies. She is also a founding editorial board member of Catalyst: Feminism\, Theory\, Technoscience. She is recently co-editor of Testing Hearing: The Making of Modern Aurality (Oxford 2020)\, Crip Authorship: Disability as Method (NYU 2023)\, and a forthcoming special issue of Osiris on “Disability and the History of Science” (2024). Upcoming publications include the NSF-funded edited collection How to be Disabled in a Pandemic (NYU Press)\, a coauthored book with Jonathan Sterne on time stretching\, and an NEH-funded collaborative research project with Michele Friedner on “The Global Cochlear Implant.” \nViktoria Tkaczyk is Professor in the Department of Musicology and Media Studies at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and currently the Whitney J.

SUMMARY:Mellon Forum // Land\, Law & Speculative Urban Futures
DESCRIPTION:Urban landscapes described as bidonvilles­­––a Francophone term for shantytown first coined in the late 1920s in Casablanca––have repeatedly been framed as spontaneous\, unplanned\, or illegal developments\, a status that has helped to ensure their broader spatial and social exclusion. However\, the histories of many of these sites reveals quite the opposite. Maghrebi property owners and residents repeatedly leveraged the gaps and opportunities written into legal frameworks that instituted the defining distinctions between citizen and subject\, civil and customary law\, which had ensured territorial dispossession on a vast scale. The canny navigation of co-existing legal regimes facilitated potent strategies of city-building\, whether embracing conventions of hospitality\, asserting administrative autonomy\, or enacting speculative futures.

SUMMARY:The Sex Obsession
DESCRIPTION:Religion is a force to be reckoned with in political debates over sex\, but Janet Jakobsen decisively breaks with the common sense that religion and sex are the fixed binary of American political life. She instead follows the kaleidoscopic ways in which sexual politics are embedded in social relations of all kinds – not only the intimate relations of love and family with which gender and sex are routinely associated\, but also secularism\, freedom\, race\, disability\, capitalism\, nation and state\, housing and the environment. \nJanet Jakobsen is Claire Tow Professor of Women’s\, Gender and Sexuality Studies and the author\, most recently\, of The Sex Obsession. Prof. Jakobsen will be interviewed by Graduate Student Fellow Emma Thompson.\nThe 2023-2024 theme for the Religion and the Public Conversation series is “Bodies and Embodiment.”

SUMMARY:Coming into Color: The Cloth Classic\, Jiangnan Dyeworks\, and the Expansion of Cotton Dyes in Qing China
DESCRIPTION:The subject of textile colors in Chinese history evokes notions of elite luxury and power: imperial yellow over commoner blue. But observers and gazetteers suggest a wider color palette began to be offered to a range of consumers in the early Qing\, with new dyeing techniques being applied to both silk and cotton. An expansion of clothing colors for ordinary people is intriguing to consider in light of claims that the living standards of inhabitants of the wealthiest parts of China compared favorably to those of Europe in this period. But while material culture history might be supposed to hold some potential for substantiating these claims outside cliometrics\, the biases of collecting and material survival mean that extant cotton garments are rare: though the vast majority of Qing Chinese would have worn cotton or hemp\, studies of Qing dress are dominated by silk. Accordingly\, The Cloth Classic (Bujing 布经)\, an early nineteenth-century compendium of advice and experience written by a cloth merchant for cloth merchants\, possesses considerable value for understanding the causes and impact of advances in cotton dyeing. This talk positions The Cloth Classic within the context of developments in the Jiangnan cotton industry\, with a focus on the growing dyeing sector\, and evaluates the factors driving its expansion\, including dyeing innovations\, dyestuff trade\, commercial organization\, and consumer demand. By so doing\, this understudied work redresses the unrepresentative material archive to provide insight into the economic and cultural significance of the cotton industry’s finishing sector. \nCo-sponsored by the Tang Center\, East Asian Studies Program\, and the Department of Art and Archaeology

SUMMARY:Sounds in Wax: Musicology\, Linguistics\, and the World as a Resource
DESCRIPTION:This lecture focuses on the Berlin Phonogramm-Archiv\, founded in 1900\, and its subsequent strategy of collecting languages and music from a potentially wide range of world regions. But at the time\, members of the archive managed to embrace the world as a resource in yet another respect: the daily production of cylinder records required large quantities of wax and various other materials that depended on a global system of material supply—including Brazilian carnauba wax and montan wax from German lignite mines\, the extraction of which caused environmental damage and deprived local populations of their livelihoods. As I show\, this use of material resources resonated in many ways with the agenda for the study of cultural resources developed at the Phonogramm-Archiv during the eras of the German Empire\, World War I\, German colonialism\, and the Weimar Republic. In addition\, the production of the wax cylinders provided members of the archive with extensive knowledge of materials science and chemistry\, which in turn influenced their methods of analyzing and understanding language and music. \nFor more information and primary reading material\, visit the Department of German website. \nCo-sponsored by the Department of Music.

SUMMARY:African Americans and Xenophon\, c. 1800–1910
DESCRIPTION:This talk uses evidence from newspapers\, school catalogues\, and other documents to reveal the key role that Xenophon’s works—especially the Anabasis and Memorabilia—played in Black education\, intellectual life\, and popular culture in the United States from around 1800 to around 1910. The talk pays particular attention to curricular developments at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)\, including prominent schools such as Howard University\, Atlanta University\, and Fisk University\, along with lesser-known institutions scattered across the U.S. South. It gives attention to Black women’s as well as men’s responses to Xenophon. It highlights how African American intellectual leaders including Fanny Jackson Coppin\, W.E.B. Du Bois\, John Wesley Gilbert\, and William Sanders Scarborough engaged with Xenophon’s works. And\, the paper explores the important intersections between African American interest in Greco-Roman Classics and African American Christianity.

SUMMARY:Constitution Day Lecture 2023: The Constitution and the Court
DESCRIPTION:Constitution Day Lecture 2023 \nThe idea that the Constitution means whatever the Supreme Court says it means is\, in important respects\, hard-wired in the contemporary American psyche.  It did not have to be this way.  Indeed\, a fair measure of constitutional scholarship over the past two centuries has been occupied by professorial debates over whether or not it should.  Today\, for the first time in more than half a century\, a deeply controversial Court has led a fair measure of Americans to begin asking the same question. But the reasons for the Court’s plummeting status in broad polls of public confidence – the reasons why a growing number of Americans now question its legitimacy – could be many.  Which if any of those reasons might justify the conviction that it is time to rethink the Court’s effective monopoly on constitutional meaning? The answer depends on what we think a court’s job is – what a judge’s or even a lawyer’s job is – in the first place. It depends on what we can reasonably expect of the rule of law\, and of the Constitution as a part of it. \nDeborah Pearlstein is director of Princeton’s new Program in Law and Public Policy and is the Charles and Marie Robertson Visiting Professor in Law and Public Affairs. She is currently Professor of Law and Co-director of the Floersheimer Center for Constitutional Democracy at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University\, and teaches a course each year in law and public policy. \nDeborah holds a J.D. from Harvard Law School. After earning her law degree\, she clerked for Justice John Paul Stevens of the U.S. Supreme Court\, worked in private practice\, and served as the founding director of the Law and Security Program at Human Rights First. Following her departure from practice\, Deborah was appointed a research scholar in law and public affairs at SPIA\, a position she held for four years\, until joining Cardozo Law as an assistant professor of law in 2011. Her work on the U.S. Constitution\, international law\, and national security has appeared widely in law journals and the popular press\, where she is quoted often as an expert source\, and has repeatedly been the subject of her testimony before Congress. Before entering law school\, she served as senior editor and speechwriter in the White House to President Clinton. Today\, she serves on the U.S. State Department Advisory Committee on Historical Diplomatic Documentation\, focused on ensuring the timely declassification and publication of government records surrounding major events in U.S. foreign policy.
