SUMMARY:The Future of Hong Kong: Is free speech dead?
DESCRIPTION:The widespread 2019 protests in Hong Kong\, and the imposition of a sweeping new National Security Law the following year\, irrevocably changed the fabric of this once open and free-wheeling society. Dozens of civil society groups\, labor unions and political parties disbanded\, news outlets were shuttered and dozens of activists were arrested or fled into exile overseas. But while Hong Kong has plummeted in global press freedom rankings\, journalists continue to do their jobs every day\, and the territory remains a regional hub for many foreign media organizations. How much space still exists for independent media in the new Hong Kong? And how are journalists learning to navigate this new normal? \nKeith Richburg\, Washington Post columnist. With discussant Stephen F. Teiser\, Suzuki Professor in Buddhist Studies and Professor of Religion. \nRegistration is now open; space is limited.

SUMMARY:Princeton University Library Author Talk: Ryo Morimoto "Nuclear Ghost"
DESCRIPTION:“There is a nuclear ghost in Minamisōma.” This is how one resident describes a mysterious experience following the 2011 nuclear fallout in coastal Fukushima. Investigating the nuclear ghost among the graying population\, Ryo Morimoto encounters radiation’s shapeshifting effects. \nMorimoto\, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University\, has written one of the first in-depth ethnographic accounts of coastal Fukushima in English\, “Nuclear Ghost.” In conversation with physicist and co-director of Princeton’s Program in Science and Global Security\, Zia Mian\, Morimoto presents the stories of residents who aspire to live and die well in their now irradiated homes and their determination to recover their land\, cultures\, and histories for future generations. \nMorimoto and Mian will also discuss Princeton’s role in nuclear-related research and projects. \nThis special author talk is brought to you by Global Japan Lab\, the Humanities Council\, and Princeton University Library.

SUMMARY:Homer's Hippiad: From the First Deaths to the Last Word
DESCRIPTION:Mules are the first deaths in the timeline of the poem; the last word of the poem is ἱπποδάμοιο\, “breaker of horses.” In between\, horses (and mules) share with men the experiences of battle\, hard labor\, and athletic excellence\, and with women\, being judged by their beauty\, seized as spoils\, and offered as prizes. They have names and pedigrees. They may be free or enslaved. They may be mortal\, like most humans\, or immortal\, like gods and certain heroes. They may even have a share in that most human of behaviors\, speech. What can we learn about the human actors in the poem by observing their equine counterparts? \nSupport for this project is provided in part by Princeton’s Departments of Classics and Comparative Literature\, Humanities Council\, Lewis Center for the Arts\, Princeton University Public Lectures Committee\, Program in Humanistic Studies\, and the Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies

SUMMARY:"Birdcalls: A roundtable"
DESCRIPTION:For this work\, sometimes referred to as “Patriarchal Rollcall”\, Louise Lawler sounded out the familiar names of male artists dominating the art world in the 1970s using the chirps and peeps of birdcalls – activating the artistic tradition of mimesis but with a twist. ​The humor of the work is tinged with urgency as it attests to how the constant repetition of these names operates to block the voices of women artists\, artists of color and other underrepresented persons. Installing Birdcalls also calls attention to the importance of sound and animal studies to current discourses on aesthetics and hence to the environmental conditions undergirding the making and showing of art today. \nSylvia Lavin is a Professor of History and Theory of Architecture at Princeton University. Her work explores the limits of architecture across a wide spectrum of historical periods. Her publications include Form Follows Libido: Architecture and Richard Neutra in a Psychoanalytic Culture\, Everything Loose Will Land: 1970s Art and Architecture in Los Angeles and Architecture Itself and Other Postmodernist Myths. She is currently working on a new book\, Building Sylvan Media. \nThomas Y. Levin is an Associate Professor of German at Princeton University. He teaches media theory and history\, cultural theory\, intellectual history\, aesthetics\, and sound studies. His publications include The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility\, and Other Writings on Media\nand Rhetorics of Surveillance from Bentham to Big Brother \nMaria Hsiuya Loh is a Professor in the School of Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study. She is an expert in the field of early modern Italian art and theory. She is the author of Titian Remade: Repetition and the Transformation of Early Modern Italian Art\, Still Lives: Death\, Desire\, and the Portrait of the Old Master\, and Titian’s Touch: Art\, Magic & Philosophy. She is currently working on her new book: Liquid Sky: Visual Representations of the Early Modern Sky. \nGavin Steingo is a Professor of Music at Princeton University. His research examines sound and music as fundamental features in the construction of global modernity\, with research specializations in African music\, sound studies\, acoustic ecology\, and music and philosophy. He is the author of Interspecies Communication: Sound and Music Beyond Humanity\, and Kwaito’s Promise: Music and the Aesthetics of Freedom in South Africa. \nReception to follow the roundtable discussion. \nEvent co-organized by the School of Architecture\nand the Program in Media and Modernity.

SUMMARY:The 2023-24 Frederick W. Mote Memorial Lecture:  The Sacrificial Body of Moye: Affect and Materiality in the Forging of Wu-Yue Swords
DESCRIPTION:The story of the swordsmith couple Ganjiang 干將 and Moye 莫耶 from the late Warring States period (fifth-century BCE) is so enduring that school children in the Chinese-speaking world can still recite its plot: Charged by the king to cast the deadliest sword\, the couple became desperate when the metal would neither melt nor flow. They completed their task only when Moye leaped into the furnace and immolate herself. In this talk\, we revisit this classic lore of the sacrificial wife by putting three mediums into conversation: Material remains of swords from late-Warring States Wu-Yue tombs; the textual tradition of the lore from the first-century Wu Yue chunqiu 吳越春秋 to the modern writer Lu Xun’s short story Zhujian 鑄劍 (Meijian chi 眉間尺); and the animation work of Chinese-American artist Hong HUO 霍弘 featuring Moye as the protagonist\, Melt 鎔. In so doing\, we examine the gendered politics of Moye’s metamorphosis through the ages while taking stock of the power of emotions as an agent of historical change.

SUMMARY:Sovereignty through Praxis: Contemporary Quechua Weaving from Peru
DESCRIPTION:With their distinct markets\, institutions\, and specialists\, the realms of fine art and craft today largely exist as parallel\, specialized industries. When they do intersect\, practitioners and observers typically offer two syntheses: craft “rises” to the institutional and aesthetic condition of art or supplements its exclusivity as a model of unalienated production. Yet fine artists since the early modern period have\, at key moments\, called upon “craft\,” in its many valences\, to engage\, rather than negate\, the movements of history that conditioned their work. Focusing on such moments\, the participants in this series will assess the stakes and the meanings of art’s craft in settings ranging from the Italian Renaissance\, to eighteenth-century India\, to the contemporary Andes. \nOver six workshops scheduled throughout the 2023–24 academic year and taking place on Princeton’s campus\, Know How: Workshops on the Histories of Art and Craft aims to develop responses to the following questions: Under what social\, material\, and art-historical conditions does craft appear? How do the motivations and manifestations of such appearances compare across geographies and periods? As art historians\, what methods are at our disposal to follow artists and objects as they bridge the systems of value that separate their circulation?

SUMMARY:LLL Presents - "Journeys of the Mind: A Life in History"
DESCRIPTION:The eminent historian Peter Brown has a written personal account of the discovery of late antiquity. He is joined in conversation by fellow historian Jack Tannous. \nThe end of the ancient world was long regarded by historians as a time of decadence\, decline\, and fall. In his career-long engagement with this era\, the widely acclaimed and pathbreaking historian Peter Brown has shown\, however\, that the “neglected half-millennium” now known as late antiquity was in fact crucial to the development of modern Europe and the Middle East. In Journeys of the Mind\, Brown recounts his life and work\, describing his efforts to recapture the spirit of an age. As he and other scholars opened up the history of the classical world in its last centuries to the wider world of Eurasia and northern Africa\, they discovered previously overlooked areas of religious and cultural creativity as well as foundational institution-building. A respect for diversity and outreach to the non-European world\, relatively recent concerns in other fields\, have been a matter of course for decades among the leading scholars of late antiquity. \nPeter Brown is Professor Emeritus of History at Princeton University. He is the author of Through the Eye of a Needle: Wealth\, the Fall of Rome\, and the Making of Christianity in the West\, 350–550 AD; The Rise of Western Christendom: Triumph and Diversity\, A.D. 200–1000; The Ransom of the Soul: Afterlife and Wealth in Early Western Christianity; Treasure in Heaven: The Holy Poor in Early Christianity; and many other books. Jack Tannous is Professor of History and Hellenic Studies and Chair of the Center for the Study of Late Antiquity at Princeton University and the author of The Making of the Medieval Middle East: Religion\, Society\, and Simple Believers.

SUMMARY:McGraw Center Faculty Discussion: Mentoring Supports for Faculty: An Info Gathering Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:A major component of many careers – both within and beyond the academy – is mentoring trainees\, yet graduate students\, postdocs\, and even faculty often don’t have formal opportunities to develop mentoring expertise. Since mentoring profoundly affects the well-being of individuals and teams\, as well as scholarly productivity and success\, we invite you to join us at McGraw to explore how we might support you and your colleagues in developing effective\, ethical\, and evidence-based mentoring practices that benefit you and your mentees.

SUMMARY:LLL Presents - "48 Clues into the Disappearance of My Sister & Zero-Sum: Stories"
DESCRIPTION:The inimitable Joyce Carol Oates has published  both another masterful mystery and a collection of linked stories. Join us for a reading and a discussion between the author and fellow writer and colleague A.M. Homes. \nIn 48 Clues\, a young woman mysteriously vanishes from her family home\, and her sister must tally up the clues to discover her fate. \nAfter beautiful Marguerite suddenly vanishes from her small town in Upstate New York\, the causes of her disappearance are entirely unclear. Was foul play involved? Or did she merely take an opportunity to get away for fun\, or finally make the decision to leave behind her claustrophobic life of limited opportunities? \nIn Zero-Sum\, games are played for lethal stakes. A brilliant young philosophy student bent on seducing her famous philosopher-mentor finds herself outmaneuvered; diabolically clever high school girls wreak a particularly apt sort of vengeance on sexual predators in their community; a woman stalked by a would-be killer may be confiding in the wrong former lover; a young woman is morbidly obsessed by her unfamiliar new role as “mother.” In the collection’s longest story\, a much-praised cutting-edge writer cruelly experiments with “drafts” of his own suicide. Joyce Carol Oates has created a world of erotic obsession\, thwarted idealism\, and ever-shifting identities. \nJoyce Carol Oates is a recipient of the National Humanities Medal\, the National Book Critics Circle Lifetime Achievement Award\, and the National Book Award\, among many honors. She has written some of the most enduring fiction of our time\, including the national best sellers We Were the Mulvaneys; Blonde; and The Falls. Her most recent novel prior to 48 Clues  and Zero-Sum is Babysitter. She is Professor of the Humanities emerita at Princeton University and teaches at NYU. A.M. Homes is the author most recently of The Unfolding. Her other books include the best-selling memoir The Mistress’ Daughter; the novels This Book Will Save Your Life\, The End of Alice\, and Jack; and the short story collections Days of Awe\, The Safety of Objects and Things You Should Know. She also teaches creative writing at The Lewis Center for the Arts.

SUMMARY:Smells\, Sounds and Textures of Iberian Modernity: Spain's Perfumed Modernity
DESCRIPTION:Come join us on Friday\, October 6\, 3:30-5:00 PM in 103 Chancellor Green for the first invited guest lecture of the “Smells\, Sounds\, and Textures of Iberian Modernity” talk series\, entitled “Spain’s Perfumed Modernity.” Invited guest speaker Bob Davidson\, Professor of Spanish and Catalan Studies at the University of Toronto\, will take us on a sensory journey through the rise of Spain’s perfume industry from the 1910s to 2000\, discussing the role Perfumería Gal\, Myurgia\, and Puig played in the construction of Spanish olfactory modernity via product design\, advertising\, and the fragrances themselves. The talk will be sensorily interactive\, as audience members will be invited to test vintage perfumes like Maderas de Oriente\, Maja\, Agua Lavanda\, Agua Brava\, and Quorum while exploring themes of orientalism and Othering\, terroir\, the aspirational power of scent\, and\, ultimately\, the importance of smelling in the Humanities. \nDisclaimer: Because we will be smelling perfumes during the talk\, those with sensitivity to fragrances may wish not to attend. \nThis event has been made possible by the generous support of Spanish & Portuguese\, the Humanities Council\, the Center for Culture\, Society\, and Religion\, the Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in the Humanities\, Near Eastern Studies\, Art & Archaeology\, Music\, Comparative Literature\, Religion\, Anthropology\, and the Program in European Cultural Studies.

SUMMARY:Qohelet: Searching for a Life Worth Living
DESCRIPTION:Join the Program in Judaic Studies on Monday\, October 9\, to learn about a striking new exploration of Qohelet. \nIn Qohelet: Searching for a Life Worth Living\, philosopher Menachem Fisch and artist Debra Band together probe the biblical thinker’s inquiry into the value of life “under the sun” in this first illuminated manuscript of this text and first philosophical analysis tracing the coherent path of Qohelet’s full argument. Fisch uncovers Qohelet’s twin concerns: life is short\, and situated as we are far below the heavens\, we can never be assured of comprehending our world\, nor understanding divine will and intent. In her 60 immersive and discursive illuminated paintings of the entire text\, each accompanied by explanatory commentary\, Band incorporates Fisch’s understanding of the text\, employing the grandest of palaces\, the Alhambra\, as a central metaphor for the beauty and impermanence of human life and accomplishments. She fills its halls with often surprising imagery\, symbolism and related poetry creating a visual midrash that relates Qohelet not only to biblical text and Jewish lore but also reveals its reverberations across Western civilization. \nAll are welcome to attend\, but space is limited – please RSVP to judaic@princeton.edu. Light refreshments will be available.

SUMMARY:Mining a Toxic Quarry: Louise Dupin’s Construction of the Work on Women
DESCRIPTION:Louise Dupin’s Work on Women is the French Enlightenment’s most in-depth feminist analysis of inequality–and its most neglected one. Angela Hunter and Rebecca Wilkin have just published the first English edition of Dupin’s massive project\, developed from manuscript drafts. Dupin’s central claim is that “masculine vanity” aggrandizes men\, diminishes women\, and distorts all realms of knowledge–science\, history\, philosophy\, law–as well as lived experience. In this presentation\, Hunter and Wilkin focus on Dupin’s use of sources\, from scientific journals to compilations of travel narratives and collections of law cases. Characterized by astounding breadth\, the Work on Women is both a critique of the sexist foundations of knowledge\, in which discourses produce the effects they pretend to document\, and a new type of feminist construction.\nCo-sponsored by the Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies

SUMMARY:Mytelka Memorial Seminar – The Jewish Bookshelf in Medieval Cairo: Book Lists from the Cairo Genizah
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Judaic Studies proudly welcomes this year’s Mytelka Scholar\, Ronny Vollandt\, and begins his visit to Princeton with this seminar on Tuesday\, October 10. \nMedieval book lists from the Cairo Genizah preserve important evidence on the availability and circulation of Jewish books in the medieval Near East. They also provide information on\, possibly otherwise lost\, works or authors. However\, book lists often contain a rudimentary description of the physical appearance of a book and its codicological composition\, specifying the book type (codex\, daftar\, scroll\, rotulus)\, formats\, quire structure\, binding\, or absence of thereof. This seminar will provide a survey of aspects relevant to medieval Jewish book history and the terminology used to describe these. \nAll University faculty\, researchers\, staff\, and students are welcome to attend\, but space is limited – please RSVP to judaic@princeton.edu. Refreshments will be available.

SUMMARY:“Architecture's Theory”
DESCRIPTION:Graduate Program in Media + Modernity | Princeton University \nCatherine Ingraham\n“Architecture’s Theory”\n[Response: Spyros Papapetros]\nTuesday\, October 10\, 2023 @5pm ET\nN107 (School of Architecture) \nThis event is about a book Catherine Ingraham currently published entitled Architecture’s Theory. As one reviewer\, Marko Ristic\, noted\, “…the title cannot be considered general. The author’s decision not to use the common term ‘architectural theory\,’ but architecture’s instead\, is a subtle intervention that epitomizes a specific relationship of architecture to theory questioned throughout the book. This relationship…introduces the idea of theory that is ‘architecture’s own.’ ” While the matter of architecture’s “theoretical attitude” and its ordering of what is imported from outside its domain are important parts of the book’s inquiries\, such questions always require contextualization and argumentation. This event\, hopefully\, will allow for both of these requirements. \nCatherine Ingraham is a tenured Professor in the Graduate Program of Architecture at Pratt Institute\, a program she started and Chaired 2001-2005. She has been a periodic visiting professor at the GSD\, Harvard University and the GSAPP\, Columbia University. Publications include Architecture’s Theory (MIT Press 2023)\, Architecture\, Animal\, Human (Routledge 2006)\, Architecture and The Burdens of Linearity (Yale University Press1998)\, plus numerous articles and invited essays. Ingraham was a co-editor\, with Michael Hays and Alicia Kennedy\, of the critical journal Assemblage 1991-1998 and has lectured at conferences and universities worldwide. She has received grants and fellowships from The Institute for Architecture and Urbanism in Chicago\, The CCA in Montreal\, the MacDowell colony\, NEA and the Graham Foundation. Catherine received her doctoral degree from Johns Hopkins University. \nSpyros Papapetros is an Associate Professor at Princeton’s School of Architecture. Forthcoming book publications include Pre/Architecture (Critical Spatial Practice series edited by Nikolaus Hirsch/Sternberg-MIT Press\, 2024) and Frederick Kiesler’s Magic Architecture: The Story of Human Housing (The MIT Press\, 2024). \nPlease visit M+M’s official website for details and current information. \nM+M strives to make everyone feel welcome.

SUMMARY:LLL Presents Boo Trundle & Christie Henry - "The Daughter Ship: A Novel"
DESCRIPTION:Boo Trundle’s irreverent debut delivers a headlong human comedy of trauma and triumph\, narrated by the concealed inner selves of a woman on the brink. Princeton University Press’s Director\, Christie Henry\, will join the author in conversation. \nKatherine is a lost creative soul and suburban mother of two\, who has struggled into her forties with the urge to self-harm. She is comfortably married\, and longs to overcome her dark thoughts and intermittent fears of sexual intimacy. This brisk\, mesmerizing version of her life is told in alternating short chapters by Truitt\, Star\, and Smooshed Bug—her inner children\, each with their particular strategy for coping with Katherine’s past at the hands of a hopeless mother and a terrifying\, seductive father. Several of her female ancestors\, Confederate widows and their daughters\, who’ve imposed a legacy of racism and damage on her bloodline\, also join the telling. \nThis unforgettable chorus of selves\, battling over Katherine’s wellbeing\, is unified by their hope for her future\, as they collaborate to shape a personal narrative like no other we’ve experienced in fiction. \nBoo Trundle is a writer\, artist\, and performer whose work has appeared across various platforms and publications\, including The Brooklyn Rail\, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency\, and NPR’s The Moth. She has released three albums of original music with Big Deal Records. Christie Henry is the visionary Director of Princeton University Press.
