SUMMARY:Faculty Research Forum: Introduction to Project-Based Humanities Grantseeking
DESCRIPTION:The Office of the Dean for Research and the Humanities Council invite humanities scholars (faculty\, postdocs\, staff\, graduate students\, and humanities-focused researchers) to an information session to learn about strategies for project-based grantseeking. Unlike individual research projects that are the norm in the humanities\, project-based grantseeking is typically collaborative\, interdisciplinary\, and complex. We want to de-mystify the process of developing and launching project-based research\, and applying for internal or external funding that may be needed to support that research. Scholars at all levels of experience are invited to attend. The event will be held in person.

SUMMARY:Machine Learning and the Future of Philology
DESCRIPTION:What will philology become in the wake of the digital revolution? How can computer vision\, handwritten text recognition\, natural language processing\, deep neural networks and/or other forms of machine learning refine the arsenal of techniques for studying pre-modern evidence? \nThis works-in-progress symposium will feature six teams of Princeton scholars who are applying machine learning to manuscripts\, rare books\, archives\, inscriptions\, coins and other pre-1600 texts. Presentations will include projects on materials in Syriac\, Hebrew\, Latin\, Greek\, Chinese and English. David Smith (Computer Science\, Northeastern) will offer remarks. \nThe symposium will take place at the CDH on Friday\, December 9\, 2022\, 9 am to 5 pm at the Center for Digital Humanities (B Floor\, Firestone Library) and on Zoom. \nThis event is co-organized by the Center for Digital Humanities and the Manuscript\, Rare Book and Archive Studies Initiative\, with support from the Center for Statistics and Machine Learning. This symposium is intended as the first of a pair; the second will take place in 2023–24 and solicit proposals from beyond the Princeton community. \nA provisional schedule is available on the CDH website. \nThis event is limited to Princeton affiliates. Please register here.

SUMMARY:Justice for Animals
DESCRIPTION:Martha C. Nussbaum is the Ernst Freund Distinguished Service Professor of Law and Ethics\, appointed in the Philosophy Department and the Law School of the University of Chicago. She gave the 2016 Jefferson Lecture for the National Endowment for the Humanities and won the 2016 Kyoto Prize in Arts and Philosophy. The 2018 Berggruen Prize in Philosophy and Culture\, and the 2020 Holberg Prize. These three prizes are regarded as the most prestigious awards available in fields not eligible for a Nobel. She has written more than twenty-two books\, including Upheavals of Thought: The Intelligence of Emotions; Anger and Forgiveness: Resentment\, Generosity\, Justice; Not for Profit: Why Democracy Needs the Humanities; and The Monarchy of Fear. \nKnown as one of the world’s most influential philosophers and humanists\, Martha Nussbaum in her latest book Justice for Animals\, provides a revolutionary approach to animal rights\, ethics\, and law. \nFrom dolphins to crows\, elephants to octopuses\, Nussbaum examines the entire animal kingdom\, showcasing the lives of animals with wonder\, awe\, and compassion to understand how we can create a world in which human beings are truly friends of animals\, not exploiters or users. All animals should have a shot at flourishing in their own way. Humans have a collective duty to face and solve animal harm. An urgent call to action and a manual for change\, Nussbaum’s groundbreaking theory directs politics and law to help us meet our ethical responsibilities as no book has done before. \nPlease Note: Copies of Martha’s new book\, Justice for Animals: Our Collective Responsibility will be handed out to the first 200 attendees. \nLocation\nMcCosh Hall 50\nTo attend this event virtually\, CLICK HERE \nAudience\nFree and open to the public

SUMMARY:Communities of piety from Late Antiquity to Byzantium
DESCRIPTION:The rise of the holy man and the development of monasticism are one of the defining features of Late Antiquity that also shaped the subsequent centuries of medieval Byzantium. While theologians and other authors tend to insist on the superiority of monasteries as a space for the practice of virtues\, men and women of lay status also found ways to express their piety in communal settings. There is a wide range of evidence across the centuries that can demonstrate how communities of piety were shaped and organized\, thus calling into question the assumed divide between the holy and the secular life. \nClaudia Rapp has been Professor of Byzantine Studies\, University of Vienna\, where she moved after almost 20 years at UCLA. She is the interim Director of the Institute for Medieval Research at the Austrian Academy of Sciences\, Member of several learned academies\, editorial and advisory boards\, and has held numerous fellowships (including at the Institute for Advanced Study) and visiting professorships. \nHer research focuses on social and cultural history\, often from the angle of religious history and manuscript studies. Holy Bishops in Late Antiquity: Christian Leadership in an Age of Transition\, published in 2005\, was re-issued in paperback in 2013. Her most recent book\, Brother-Making in Late Antiquity and Byzantium: Monks\, Laymen and Christian Ritual (2016) has led to the formation of the Euchologia Project at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Funding through the Wittgenstein-Award has enabled her to assemble a team of scholars for the joint investigation of Mobility\, Microstructures and Personal Agency. She is the Scholarly Director of the Sinai Palimpsests Project.

SUMMARY:Seduced by Story: The Use and Abuse of Narrative
DESCRIPTION:The scholar and literary critic Peter Brooks’s new book is a reckoning with today’s flourishing cult of story. We invite you to a presentation and discussion. \nJoin us at Labyrinth or click here to register for the livestream. \nForty years after publishing his seminal work Reading for the Plot\, his important contribution to what came to be known as the “narrative turn” in contemporary criticism and philosophy\, Brooks returns to question the unquestioning fashion in which story is now embraced as an excuse or explanation and the fact that every brand or politician comes equipped with one. In a discussion that ranges from The Girl on the Train to legal argument\, Brooks reminds us that among the powers of narrative is the power to deceive. \n“A rhapsody to the partial suspension of disbelief that allows us to immerse ourselves in novels\, but simultaneously and most crucially\, a brilliant intervention against the complete suspension of disbelief that allows a citizenry to succumb to conspiracy theories\, false-flag narratives\, authoritarian fictions. An eloquent and triumphant culmination of Peter Brooks’s lifelong inquiry into the aesthetic and ethical intersection of literature\, psychoanalysis\, law\, and politics. Impossibly good.”  —David Shields \nPeter Brooks is the author of several influential books\, including The Melodramatic Imagination\, Reading for the Plot\, Psychoanalysis and Storytelling\, Troubling Confessions\, Realist Vision\, Henry James Goes to Paris\, and Flaubert in the Ruins of Paris\, as well as of two novels\, World Elsewhere and The Emperor’s Body. He is Sterling Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature at Yale. Brigid Doherty holds a joint appointment in German and Art & Archaeology at Princeton University. Her research and teaching focus on the interdisciplinary study of twentieth-century art and literature\, with special emphasis on the history of German modernism and on relationships among the visual arts\, literature\, and aesthetic and psychoanalytic theories. She is currently completing a book on contemporary artist Rosemarie Trockel’s “Rorschach Pictures”.

SUMMARY:On the origins of Cikunda\, "a language without a land"  (Presentation of the OriKunda project)
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will present the OriKunda project (April 2023 – March 2027\, funded by the National Agency for Research\, France)\, which aims to review the unique history of the Cikunda people (pronounced /ʧikunda/)\, from its genesis until today\, through their language. Originally\, the Cikunda were troops of Bantu-speaking slave soldiers from different communities who defended the “prazos” territories in central Mozambique during the colonial era. From a common social identity came an ethnic identity involving the creation of a language\, Cikunda\, resulting from intra-Bantu dialect and language mixing. With the collapse of the “prazo” system in the 19th century and the emancipation of the slaves\, the Cikunda retreated westwards to the confluence of the Zambezi and Luangwa rivers\, which today corresponds to the border area between Zambia\, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. The available sources on the Cikunda are merely historical\, notably with the studies of historian Allen Isaacman. However\, the unusual history of the Cikunda raises fascinating questions from a linguistic point of view\, with possibly major repercussions for the historical narrative of this community. The OriKunda project aims to study the Cikunda language from a historical perspective\, falling within three subdisciplines of linguistics\, i.e. historical linguistics\, anthropological linguistics and sociolinguistics. \n \nRozenn Guérois is a researcher at LLACAN (African Languages and Cultures Laboratory) at CNRS in Paris.  She received her Ph.D. in Linguistics in 2015 from Université Lyon 2 Lumière\, an M.A. in Linguistics from Université Paris 7 Diderot\, an M.A. and Licence (B.A.) in English and Portuguese Language and Literature from Université Rennes 2. \n  \nRozenn specializes in language documentation and description\, with a focus on the Bantu languages of Mozambique\, notably Cuwabo\, Sena\, and Cikunda. Her work involves intensive fieldwork\, and extends to morphosyntax\, comparative Bantu linguistics\, typology\, and contact linguistics. She has participated in two international projects on Bantu morphosyntax at SOAS (London) and at the university of Ghent. She is the recipient of a grant from the French National Research Agency (ANR) to document the Cikunda language in its historical and sociolinguistic contexts. Since 2020\, she has been a member of the editorial board of the journal Linguistique et Langues Africaines (LLA). To learn more about her research\, visit https://llacan.cnrs.fr/p_guerois.php.

SUMMARY:Value and Solidarity
DESCRIPTION:Marx’s theory of the value form provides an alternative to common sense—i.e. ideological—understandings of the relationship between culture and economy. Might it also be useful to unblocking the perceptual and political impasses characterizing our academic wars of position against the universal? \nCo-Sponsored by the Department of Comparative Literature and the Department of English.

SUMMARY:Two Writers on Writing: Considering Class\, Play\, Power\, and Language in the Essay and the Poem
DESCRIPTION:Join us as two exceptional young writers interview each other about the questions that animate them and about their respective crafts. \nHybrid event held at Labyrinth; click here to register for the livestream. \nHilary Plum’s new book\, Hole Studies\, is a book about care and the forms it may take. It’s an essay collection on writing and labor\, art and activism\, attention as a transformative practice\, difference and collaboration\, adjuncting and the margins of the academy\, whiteness and its weapons\, professionalization and its discontents\, the radical importance of surprise\, friendship at work\, the self and its public and private modes. Essays explore the music of the Swet Shop Boys\, the literature of the US’s brutal war in Iraq\, the career of Sinéad O’Connor\, the aesthetics of the Dirtbag Left\, the legacies of the “war on terror\,” feminism on the job\, and illness in America. The book is an intimate document and a critical guide. \nIt’s midnight. The anti-heroine in the poems collected in Raphel’s Our Dark Academia is perpetually working\, trying to work it out. She’s lonely but onscreen. Meanwhile\, is this new sensation grief or groin pull? Who’s in the waiting room? Is it too late to join the symposium? To buy organic greens? To save up? Save anything? With unsettling humor\, Raphel traces the suspect filigrees of the “late late stage”: advanced degrees\, wellness trends\, inherited trinketry\, GIFs of inspo lynx. Sliding with formal dynamism from sonnet crown to sestina\, Wiki page to personal statement\, crossword to quiz\, Our Dark Academia captures the exuberant florid panicked acrobatics of this time at the edge of time. \nHilary Plum is the author of several books\, most recently the novel Strawberry Fields\, winner of the Fence Modern Prize in Prose. Her poetry collection\, Excisions\, is forthcoming from Black Lawrence. She teaches fiction\, nonfiction\, and editing & publishing at Cleveland State University and in the NEOMFA program\, and she serves as associate director of the CSU Poetry Center. Recent work has appeared in Granta\, College Literature\, American Poetry Review\, Fence\, and elsewhere. Adrienne Raphel is the author of Thinking Inside the Box: Adventures with Crosswords and the Puzzling People Who Can’t Live Without Them and of the poetry collection What Was It For\, selected by Cathy Park Hong as the winner of the Black Box Poetry Prize. Her essays\, poetry\, and criticism appear in The New York Times\, The New Yorker\, The Paris Review\, Poetry\, The New Republic\, and The Atlantic\, among other publications. She teaches in the Writing Program at Princeton University.

SUMMARY:Sick Architecture
DESCRIPTION:Architecture and sickness are tightly intertwined. Architectural discourse always weaves itself through theories of body and brain\, constructing the architect as a kind of doctor and the client as a patient. Architecture has been portrayed as both a form of prevention and cure for thousands of years. Sick Architecture began as a series of graduate seminars led by Professor Beatriz Colomina highlighting a topic that has shaped our lives since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. For their research\, doctoral students explored a range of case studies in which architecture\, urbanization\, infrastructure\, and spatial discourse were strongly influenced by concern for sickness\, health\, and medicine. \nPRESENTED BY\nProfessor Beatriz Colomina\, Architecture \nWITH CASES STUDIES BY\nAngela H. Brown\, Art and Archaeology\nMarie de Testa\, Architecture\nDante Furioso\, Architecture\nAngelika Joseph\, Architecture\nShivani Shedde\, Architecture\nMaxwell Smith-Holmes\, Architecture \nOpen to students\, faculty\, visiting scholars\, staff and invited guests. Lunch will be provided while supplies last.

SUMMARY:The Kids Aren’t Alright: Afro-German Afrofuturism and the Fight for Futurity
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on theoretical models culled from Black (German) studies\, Afrofuturism\, performance studies and queer theory\, in this talk I will analyze examples Black German artists’ engagement with “future-making” through fantasy and speculative and science fiction. From the “Afronauts” painting cycle (1999) of visual artist\, Daniel Kojo Schrade\, and the poetry of Philipp Khabo Köpsell\, to the prose of Sharon Dodua Otoo and the plays and performances of Olivia Wenzel and Simone Dede Ayivi\, Black German artists have increasingly employed Afrofuturist tropes in order to critique Eurocentricism\, uncover German racism and confront German colonialism. For centuries\, Black Germans’ existence has been inherently threatened by both ideological and repressive state apparati\, in such forms as schooling\, artistic representation\, police and institutions. Through Afrofuturism\, Black Germans create a future in which Black German life can not only survive but thrive. As such\, many of these texts center children as a symbol of the future. But rather than using “the Child” as an oppressive prescription for heteronormativity\, Black German Afrofuturism embraces Black Diasporic queer kinship and asserts that children are valued\, not for their innocence from social discourses\, but precisely because they will eventually become racially conscious and politically active Black German adults necessary for sustaining the community. Thus\, Black German futurity is part of the communal activity of creating a Black German identity. \nRegistration required for virtual attendees only.

SUMMARY:Late Ottoman Turkey in Princeton’s Forgotten Maps\, 1883-1923
DESCRIPTION:Professor Richard J.A. Talbert will outline the attraction and importance of the “Late Ottoman Turkey in Princeton’s Forgotten Maps\, 1883-1923” exhibition\, which is being launched a century after the Smyrna Fire and the establishment of the Turkish Republic. He will highlight the key role of the German cartographers Heinrich and Richard Kiepert and its remarkably long-lasting impact. Kiepert maps of Asia Minor (Turkey) remained the basis of those made by the Ottoman General Staff\, as well as by the British\, German\, Greek\, and Italian armies during and after World War I. \nTalbert will also trace how he gradually became aware of all these rare\, long-forgotten maps\, and shares his experiences in searching for them. He also explains how Princeton University Library’s holdings and expertise have proven crucial to the creation of this absorbing display. \nThe talk will be held in the Fine Hall Visualization Lab and will be followed by a reception in the Maps and Geospatial Information Center. Registration is requested.

SUMMARY:How did they learn? How did they teach?: Exploring Knowledge Transmission from Late Antiquity to the Early Modern
DESCRIPTION:Much of our modern knowledge is the result of centuries of experiments driven by human desire to record and pass down successes\, failures and lessons learned. The timespan from the periods often called “Late Antique” to that called “Early Modern” offers enormous scope to explore the historical record of knowledge transmission across diverse social contexts. \nThis conference will explore the many networks and forms of knowledge transmission active across the Late Antique and Early Modern periods. We will work within a wide span of geographical and chronological parameters as well as across disciplines. \nPlease visit the conference website for the schedule and registration. \nSponsored by the Program in Medieval Studies\, the Committee on Renaissance and Early Modern Studies\, the Department of Art and Archaeology\, The Center for Collaborative History\, the Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies\, the Princeton Graduate School\, the Program in History of Science\, and The Delaware Valley Medieval Association.

SUMMARY:Fictions of Accumulation: The Economic Turn in Latin American Cultural Studies
DESCRIPTION:This event brings together prominent scholars of what can be described as the economic turn in Latin American Cultural Studies. Rethinking the role of aesthetics and narrative structures within the history of capitalism\, they provide a nuanced outlook on the economic discourses and apparatuses that have defined capital accumulation in the region. In addition to a shared methodological approach that combines literary and economic analysis\, the trait that distinguishes these studies is a concern with understanding the specificity of capitalism in Latin America. Troubled by the increased naturalization of extractivism and neoclassical theories during the neoliberal age\, these body of works have provided a new critique of political economy through an engagement with the Latin American archive. They draw from Dependency Theory\, neo-Keynesianism\, and the Marxist traditions that shaped the field in the 1970s and 1980s\, but they take these scholarships on new and productive intellectual paths through a renewed engagement with categories like primitive accumulation\, logistics\, fictitious capital\, turnover time\, coloniality\, uneven development\, value\, and crisis. In a fruitful engagement with gender theory\, the scholarship on racial capitalism\, and decolonial approaches\, they have also underlined the central part played by political economy – as a discipline and practice of government – in the production of class\, race\, and gender subjectivities that have historically enabled the extraction of surplus value. \nGUEST SPEAKERS\nDr. Ericka Beckman\, University of Pennsylvania\nDr. Alejandra Laera\, Universidad de Buenos Aires\nDr. Daniel Nemser\, University of Michigan \nMODERATOR\nNicolás Sánchez-Rodríguez\, Cotsen Postdoctoral Fellow in the Society of Fellows; Lecturer in the Council of the Humanities and Spanish and Portuguese\, Princeton University \nOpen to Princeton students\, faculty\, visiting scholars and specially invited guests.

SUMMARY:Rubens’s Saltcellar: On the Generative Power of Nature and (Antwerp’s) Art
DESCRIPTION:Containers for liquids and other substances are among the oldest known artifacts of human ingenuity; in early modern Antwerp\, the focus of my research\, artists and craftsmen seized on the arrival of new technologies and new materials to increase the diversity of the shapes and kinds of vessels used at table. However\, in the research literature these utensils are frequently treated as luxury collectables while their actual use as receptacles is neglected. In my talk I explore a different approach to precious vessels\, one that takes into account the imaginaries of the substances they were designed to hold and the ways in which their craftsmanship resonated with the dynamically shifting relationships between material environments\, cosmologies\, and practises of making. My main example is a well-known saltcellar designed by Peter Paul Rubens for his own household and created collaboratively by the Augsburg ivory carver Georg Petel and the Antwerp silversmith Jan Herck in about 1628. How did this beautifully crafted object (in its shape\, material\, and imagery related to the marine Venus) comment on and pay homage to the transformative power of salt\, understood as a universal agent of life and generation\, nourishing and preserving both human and animal bodies as well as the body of the earth? My interest is in an ethics and epistemology of material transformation (from nature into art) that resonated with Antwerp’s intellectual culture and the city’s unique place in the world of craftmanship\, knowledge\, and design.

SUMMARY:LLL: Teaching White Supremacy-America’s Democratic Ordeal and the Forging of Our National Identity
DESCRIPTION:Henry Louis Gates calls Yacovone’s new book “the most profoundly original cultural history in recent memory.” We are thrilled that Eddie Glaude\, one of the nation’s most prominent scholars and public intellectuals\, will be joining the author to discuss the clear and damning evidence assembled by Yacovone of white supremacy’s deep-seated roots in our nation’s education system. \nJoin us at Labyrinth Books or click here to register for the livestream. \nSifting through a wealth of materials\, from primary readers to college textbooks and other higher-ed course materials and from the colonial era to today\, Yacovone reveals the systematic ways in which white supremacist ideology has infiltrated American culture and how it has been at the heart of our collective national identity. \nThe author argues that it is the North\, not the South\, that bears the greater responsibility for creating the dominant strain of race theory\, inculcated throughout the culture and in school textbooks\, that restricted and repressed African Americans and other minorities\, even as Northerners blamed the South for its legacy of slavery\, segregation and racial injustice. \nDonald Yacovone is the lifetime Associate at Harvard University’s Hutchins Center for African and African American Research. His previous book is The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross\, co-written with Henry Louis Gates\, Jr. He is the recipient of the W.E.B. Du Bois medal. Eddie Glaude is a passionate educator\, author\, political commentator\, and public intellectual who examines the complex dynamics of the American experience. His influential books include Democracy in Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul; In a Shade of Blue: Pragmatism and the Politics of Black America; and Begin Again: James Baldwin’s America and Its Urgent Lessons for our Own. \nThis event is part of Labyrinth’s and the Public Library’s joint programming and is cosponsored by Princeton University’s African American Studies Department and Humanities Council.
