SUMMARY:5000 Years of African Literature
DESCRIPTION:2022-2023 CREMS Faber Lecture \nThis talk’s central claim is that Africa has a 5000-year literary history. Why does such a possibility remain almost entirely unrecognized? How well does the extant evidence support such a claim? And what difference might the answers to these questions make? The presentation takes up each of these matters in turn. It approaches the first by looking at the organization of academic programs—what they enable and obscure. The second follows the successive fortunes of various African writing systems\, from ancient Egyptian to the present\, including indigenous and imported literary languages. Transmission is traced via direct connections among these languages; through the reconstruction of oral linkages\, where possible\, and utilizing extra-African relays\, with the African literary diaspora constituting a brief if recurrent\, motif. Finally\, the conclusion reviews several issues raised by the preceding survey—the rationale for disciplinary divisions\, the ethical and political resonances (if any)\, the (un)importance of contributions to knowledge\, the relationship between broad historical summary and close reading of texts\, the tension between continuity and rupture in literary traditions\, the importance of geography in literary networks\, and\, not least\, the relative hierarchy of African literary languages. \nRespondent: Wendy Laura Belcher\, Professor of Comparative Literature and African American Studies\, Princeton University \nChair: Ousseina Alidou\, Professor of African\, Middle Eastern and South Asian Languages and Literatures\, Rutgers University \nWalter Cohen is a Professor of English at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, after having taught from 1980 to 2014 in Comparative Literature at Cornell University\, where he received a distinguished teaching award and held various college and university administrative positions for two decades (including Dean of the Graduate School and Vice Provost of the University). He is the author of Drama of a Nation: Public Theater in Renaissance England and Spain (Cornell UP\, 1985)\,  A History of European Literature: The West and the World from Antiquity to the Present (Oxford UP\, 2017)\, and of numerous articles on Renaissance literature\, literary criticism\, the history of the novel\, and world literature. He is also one of the editors of The Norton Shakespeare (3rd ed.\, 2015). His current research interests include the literature on ecological catastrophe\, the history of African literature\, the languages of Jewish literature\, the social agency of written language\, and the role of social class in literary study. \nReception to follow the presentation\nPlease RSVP to blleavey@princeton.edu if you plan to attend \n

SUMMARY:"Signals”
DESCRIPTION:Video is everywhere—on our phones and screens\, walls and streets\, defining new spaces and experiences\, spreading memes and lies\, fervor and power. Shared\, sent\, and networked\, it shapes public opinion and creates counter-publics in turn. \nThis talk explores the ways in which artists have both championed and questioned video as an agent of world change\, focusing on key works in Kuo’s forthcoming exhibition Signals: How Video Transformed the World (co-curated with Stuart Comer). From viral video to TikTok War\, surveillance footage to televised revolution\, video overflows boundaries of medium and geography; it splinters and migrates across disparate viewing conditions\, sites of display\, and modes of address\, both forming—and fraying—the networks of power within which we now live. \nDr. Michelle Kuo is The Marlene Hess Curator of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art\, New York. From 2010-17\, she was the Editor in Chief of Artforum International. She has published and lectured widely on new media and materials in contemporary art\, and is working on a book about the postwar organization Experiments in Art and Technology. \nDevin A. Fore is Professor of German at Princeton University. He is editor of Revoliutsiia! Demonstratsiia! Soviet Art Put to the Test (Yale University Press\, 2017) and History and Obstinacy by Alexander Kluge and Oskar Negt (Zone Books\, 2014); he is also author of Realism after Modernism: The Rehumanization of Art and Literature (The MIT Press\, 2012). \nImage: Nam June Paik.

SUMMARY:Mellon Forum // Smallpox and Slavery in the Early Modern Atlantic World: A Digital History
DESCRIPTION:Mellon Forum on the Urban Environment\nSpring 2023 || SPATIAL STORYTELLING\nSmallpox and Slavery in the Early Modern Atlantic World: A Digital History is a digital history project consisting of a searchable database\, an embedded timelapse map\, and historical vignettes about enslaved people who survived smallpox outbreaks in the Atlantic World. It is based on Mitchell’s qualitative research database of over 500 smallpox outbreaks that affected enslaved Africans and free people of African descent in the Atlantic World\, with a focus on the Caribbean and West and West Central Africa\, between the 1500s and 1830s. The goal of the project is to offer historians the opportunity to examine the histories of outbreaks and epidemics across several regions\, empires\, and cultural contexts over 300 years\, without losing sight of the millions of people who endured the brutality of the slave trade and slavery. \nThe Spring 2023 Mellon Forum on the Urban Environment is kindly sponsored by the Mellon Foundation and the Princeton University Humanities Council\, Program in Latin American Studies\, Center for Collaborative History\, Departments of Art & Archaeology and English\, HMEI\, PIIRS\, SPIA\, and the School of Architecture.

SUMMARY:Historias para lo que viene: Podcasting for Social Justice in Colombia
DESCRIPTION:The participation of history in transitional justice processes has tended to be one of setting the record straight by providing objective evidence about past violent events. As such\, it is tied to conventional notions of history as linear\, progressive\, and centered in nation-states. This presentation showcases Historias para lo que viene\, a public history project which posits that history can do much more than that: it can be a forward-looking endeavor that combines critical inquiry with radical action. The project grew out of the 2016 peace accords between the FARC guerrillas and the Colombian government\, and it is based on the premise that building futures of social justice entails addressing long histories of exclusion and inequality. This collaborative project brings together social leaders from communities victimized in the context of the armed conflict\, communicators\, schoolteachers and historians to co-produce audio stories that entwine the past and present of those communities and their political struggles\, from their perspective and in their voices\, as an epistemological intervention. Just as historical narratives have been inherent to the production of power structures\, they can play a role in challenging them. \nABOUT OUR GUEST SPEAKER \nCatalina Muñoz (Ph.D.\, University of Pennsylvania) is an associate professor of history at the Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá\, Colombia. Her publications include A Fervent Crusade for the National Soul: Cultural Politics in Colombia\, 1930-1946 (Lexington Books\, 2022) and articles in the Hispanic American Historical Review\, Ethnohistory\, and Revista de Estudios Sociales\, among others. She was a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at the Humanities Action Lab in Rutgers University-Newark in the fall of 2017 and was awarded a membership in the Institute for Advanced Study\, School of Social Science\, in the fall of 2022. A public historian\, her research and practice examine the relevance of historical thinking and longue durée analysis to transitional justice\, a field traditionally dominated by lawyers. Read full bio. \nDISCUSSANT\nSebastián Ramírez\, Lecturer\, Anthropology\, Princeton University \nOpen to students\, faculty\, visiting scholars\, staff and specially invited guests. A boxed lunch will be provided while supplies last.

SUMMARY:2022-23 Old Dominion Public Lecture Series – “ The Harvest Indeed is Great\, but the Labourers are Few”: Strangers in the Medieval Countryside
DESCRIPTION:Seasonal labor brought considerable numbers of workers long distances to villages and estates in the Middle Ages. These ‘strangers’ faced many difficulties in their interactions with the local population. The lecture addresses several of these difficulties and how elites\, villagers\, and migrant laborers coped with them. \nWilliam Chester Jordan is the Dayton-Stockton Professor of History. He is a former director of the Humanities Council’s Program in Medieval Studies and previously served as director of the Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies. Jordan is a prolific author whose current research focuses on migrant labor in the 13th and early 14th century. His Old Dominion Research Professorship will support the study of the economic and social experiences of migrant laborers in the High Middle Ages in the rural areas of northwestern continental Europe. \n\nOld Dominion Research Professors contribute to the Council’s programs and events and engage the campus community in sustained discussions about their research. This cohort of senior faculty join a yearlong program designed to provide additional research time and to enhance the humanities community more broadly. They also serve as faculty fellows in the Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts. Old Dominion Professors are full professors in the humanities and humanistic social sciences.

SUMMARY:Edward Said Memorial Lecture: On "Perfect Victims" and the Politics of Appeal
DESCRIPTION:Palestinians dead and alive have been increasingly visible in Anglophone media—but not everyone can get the mic. For them to make noise\, dead Palestinians need to have been ethnocentrically “exceptional” or have had to endure an exceptionally violent death. And those who are alive need to fit the “perfect victim” prerequisite: docile\, defanged\, and preferably with an American accent. In this lecture\, Mohammed El-Kurd investigates this phenomenon\, asking a question once posed by Edward Said: who has the permission to narrate? And\, more importantly\, why should Palestinians seek such permissions in the first place? \nThis event is sponsored by the Edward W. Said ’57 Memorial Lecture Fund\, the Princeton Committee on Palestine\, and the Department of English.

SUMMARY:Tlingit Art\, Spirit\, and Ancestry: Healing Histories of Dispossession
DESCRIPTION:In the late nineteenth century\, Presbyterian missionaries brought hundreds of Tlingit belongings from southeastern Alaska to the Princeton Theological Seminary. The belongings were later relocated to Princeton University’s collections. The movement of these Tlingit belongings between multiple institutions reflects an ongoing condition of broken knowledge. \nWhere does Tlingit art belong at Princeton University\, and how might knowledge be restored to those from whom the items were taken? This symposium explores this question by reuniting Tlingit scholars and artists with these belongings. Our symposium will confront histories of dispossession and ask how we can restore ancestral connections. Speakers will reorient Western understandings of material objects towards Tlingit and Indigenous experiences of embodiment\, spirituality\, land\, and kinship. Organizers envision this symposium as the beginning of an ongoing partnership between Princeton University and the University of Alaska Southeast. \nSpeakers: \nErnestine Saankaláxt Hayes\, Kaagwaantaan Clan\, Tlingit Nation\, author and Emerita Professor\, University of Alaska Southeast \nJudith Daxootsú Ramos\, Kwáashk’ikwáan Clan\, Yaakwdáat Kwáan\, Tlingit Nation\, Program Coordinator\, Haa Yoo X’atángi Deiyí: Our Language Pathway\, University of Alaska Southeast \nGuná Megan Jensen\, Dakhká Tlingit and Tagish Khwáan Ancestry from the Dahk’laweidi Clan\, Tlingit artist \nWayne Price\, Tlingit master carver and Northwest Coast artist of Haines\, Alaska \nCarin Silkaitis\, Dean of School of Arts and Sciences\, University of Alaska Southeast \nLiz Zacher\, Associate Professor of Art\, University of Alaska Southeast \n\nSponsors: \n\n\nLand\, Language\, and Art: A Humanities Council Global Initiative\nNative American and Indigenous Studies Initiative at Princeton\nPrinceton University Art Museum\nEffron Center for the Study of America\nFund for Canadian Studies

SUMMARY:Kōshiki and Music in Japanese Sōtō Zen
DESCRIPTION:Although Zen is often depicted as a silent tradition focused on seated meditation (zazen 坐禅)\, Sōtō clerics have performed a wide range of rituals featuring a colorful soundscape since the 13th century. Among these rituals\, we find ceremonies belonging to the liturgical genre of kōshiki 講式\, a genre that was developed in the context of Tendai Pure Land belief in the late 10th century and that represents a milestone in the development of a vernacular liturgy in Japan. Based on my new book Memory\, Music\, Manuscripts (University of Hawaii Press)\, I will discuss the historical development of these rituals and their performance practice. After explaining how clerics vocalize the ritual texts\, I will analyze how contemporary Zen clerics interpret the performance of kōshiki and the singing of liturgical texts. I suggest that we need to understand Zen as a bodily practice accompanied by a rich aural component. \nA Buddhist Studies Workshop. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Mellon Forum // Stigma\, public space\, and the symbolic value of race in Cartagena\, Colombia
DESCRIPTION:Institutions rely not only on seemingly valorizing culture- and ethnicity-led development strategies\, but ones simultaneously rooted in reifying and damaging narratives and visual depictions of racialized groups and geographies. Drawing from ethnographic fieldwork\, content analysis\, and iconography\, Valle examines how social actors in the rapidly changing urban locale of Cartagena de Indias\, Colombia\, evaluate\, shift\, and legitimate racial value. Through the narratives and imagery of development stakeholders attempting to shift regional stigma\, and those of news and social media outlets who justify both the removal and “formalization” of informal street vendors\, we see how visual culture and aesthetics affect and reflect how people understand racial value. The racial hierarchy is maintained symbolically through racial representation by the media and government who shape how the broader society understands the roles and viability of Black people in the labor market\, and materially through public policy decisions that govern public space and determine the access that primarily Black street vendors have to the physical spaces of the city where they seek to informally earn their livelihoods. \nThis event is kindly sponsored by the Humanities Council.

SUMMARY:Translators in/and the Academy
DESCRIPTION:To what extent have translators of Latin American and Iberian literatures circulated within the academy? How do translator’s academic practices shape their literary approach\, and vice versa? Can the university be both a productive and disruptive space for translation? In this roundtable\, we’ll hear from three award-winning translators about how their identities as writers\, researchers and scholars have evolved through the art of translation–and how we might imagine a more porous relationship between the institutions that come to mediate their work. \nCo-sponsored by the Department of Spanish & Portuguese\, the Program in Latin American Studies\, and the Humanities Council.

SUMMARY:The Puzzle of Panamanian Exceptionalism
DESCRIPTION:In the three decades since the U.S. invasion that overthrew the dictatorship of General Manuel Noriega\, Panama has undergone a remarkable transformation. It has remained a stable democracy in an age of democratic backsliding\, and its economy has grown faster than that of any other country in Latin America. It is today one of the richest countries in the region and is considered by the UN to be a case of “very high” human development. These accomplishments have not only received little outside attention\, but have also occurred in ways that defy conventional wisdom about democratization and economic development in startling ways. This talk examines Panama’s rise and highlights four especially puzzling features: 1) it is a rare case of democratization by military invasion; 2) it is home to an extremely unlikely case of authoritarian successor party regeneration; 3) it is a standout instance of effective resource management by a state-owned enterprise; and 4) it has achieved rapid economic development despite very high levels of corruption. \nABOUT OUR GUEST SPEAKER \nJames Loxton is a Senior Lecturer in Comparative Politics at the University of Sydney. He is currently a Visiting Research Scholar in the Program in Latin American Studies at Princeton University. His research examines authoritarian regimes\, democratization\, and political parties. He is the award-winning author of Conservative Party-Building in Latin America (Oxford University Press\, 2021) and the co-editor with Scott Mainwaring of Life after Dictatorship: Authoritarian Successor Parties Worldwide (Cambridge University Press\, 2018). He holds a PhD in Government from Harvard University. \nDISCUSSANT \nJared Abbott\, Ph.D.\, Harvard University; PLAS Postdoctoral Research Associate and Lecturer \nIf you would like to receive a copy of James Loxton’s paper in advance of the discussion\, please email damaris@princeton.edu by February 14. \nOpen to students\, faculty\, visiting scholars\, staff and specially invited guests. A boxed lunch will be provided while supplies last.

SUMMARY:“Europe raped your mother:" The De/Colonialization of Medea (Grillparzer – Jahnn – Jones)
DESCRIPTION:Over the last two and a half millennia\, the child-killer Medea has featured in literature and other media more than any other mythological figure. While her ethnicity was certainly part of the cultural memory in Pindar\, Herodotus\, and Apollonius of Rhodes\, it was nevertheless “forgotten” in the influential tragedies of Euripides and Seneca that stand at the beginning of Medea’s subsequent “career.” The question arises\, what has become of her ethnicity? Has the character remained “white”? That is\, have the authors who have taken up this material continued to deny her ethnicity? In the following\, I would like to trace the reception of the Medea material in two divergent contexts: First\, I examine German drama from the eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries\, which continued Euripides’s colonization. Against this background\, I explore how the American author\, playwright\, and director Silas Jones (1936–2016) deals with the correlation of ethnicity and alterity in American Medea (2013). On the one hand\, the play makes clear intertextual references to some of the German adaptations; on the other\, in an act of decolonization\, Jones invokes forgotten ancient sources to mobilize the Medea material for black rights.

SUMMARY:Imperial Gateway: Colonial Taiwan and Japan's Expansion in South China and Southeast Asia\, 1895-1945
DESCRIPTION:This book talk introduces Imperial Gateway (Cornell University Press\, 2022)\, which explores the political\, social\, and economic significance of colonial Taiwan in the southern expansion of Japan’s empire from 1895 to the end of World War II. The book uncovers a half century of dynamic relations between Japan\, Taiwan\, China\, and Western regional powers. Japanese officials in Taiwan did not simply take orders from Tokyo; rather\, they often pursued their own expansionist ambitions in South China and Southeast Asia. When outright conquest was not possible\, they promoted alternative strategies\, including naturalizing resident Chinese as overseas Taiwanese subjects\, extending colonial police networks\, and deploying tens of thousands of Taiwanese to war. The Taiwanese—merchants\, gangsters\, policemen\, interpreters\, nurses\, and soldiers—seized new opportunities for socioeconomic advancement that did not always align with Japan’s imperial interests. Imperial Gateway shows how Japanese officials and Taiwanese subjects transformed Taiwan into a regional gateway for expansion in an ever-shifting international order.

SUMMARY:Ecotheories Colloquium: Black Soil
DESCRIPTION:This talk turns to Black soil to map a provisional theory of Black alchemy. Black alchemy names an erotic and ethical orientation toward the Dead and dead matter. Sifting the metonymic\, metaphysical\, and material properties between (Black fleshly) matter and (earthly) matters\, I argue for an attention to the erotic relations between Blackness\, soil\, and Dead (matter). These relations disrupt and refuse the circuits of racial capitalism that establish both Black bodies and soil as sites of resource depletion and commodification. Turning to the syncretic knowledge system of Obeah and tinctures of grave dirt; Cachexia Africana and the histories of dirt eating; and the 2019 performance and installation “Dirt Eater” by Kiyan Williams\, I ask: what are the practices of those who’ve collectively lived the end of the world and therefore are already dreaming the messy\, dirty end of this one? \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:The Devil of Details: Titivillus\, from Yesterday’s Monks to Today’s Dungeons & Dragons
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Medieval Studies Faber Lecture with Jan Ziolkowski (Harvard University). \nA reception in the Weickart Atrium will follow the lecture.\nThis event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP HERE. \nFrom medieval Europe to the modern West\, the demon Titivillus has been famous for identifying and collecting slips and sins in song\, speech\, and writing. This talk follows him from his origins around 1200 on\, and investigates the meanings of his name\, diffusion of awareness of him through preaching and painting\, interplay between orality and literacy in stories about him\, issues of gender and blackness that sometimes surrounded him\, and what the Devil has meant across time. Thanks to today’s dominance of English\, Titivillus is regarded as especially particular to medieval England\, but he became commonplace far beyond the Continent and survived past the Middle Ages to appear in Rabelais\, the earliest Slovak literature\, Anatole France\, Herman Melville\, and W. H. Auden\, before finally having a novel devoted to him in 1953. He remains unforgotten\, a curio beloved among calligraphers and role-play gamers. \nJan Ziolkowski (A.B. Princeton University\, Ph.D. University of Cambridge) has been at Harvard since 1981\, now Arthur Kingsley Porter Professor of Medieval Latin. He has concentrated his research and teaching on the literature of the Middle Ages. His special focuses have included the classical tradition\, grammar and rhetoric\, interaction between folk and learned literature\, and Germanic epic in Latin. Lately he has pursued broad interests in medieval revivalism down to the present day. From 2007 to 2020 he directed Dumbarton Oaks in DC and founded the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library.

SUMMARY:The Vulgarity of Caste: A Social and Intellectual History of Dalit Performance of Tamasha
DESCRIPTION:The Vulgarity of Caste offers the first social and intellectual history of Dalit performance of Tamasha — a popular form of public\, secular\, traveling theater in Maharashtra — and places Dalit Tamasha women who represented the desire and disgust of the patriarchal society at the heart of modernization in twentieth century India. Drawing on ethnographies\, films and untapped archival materials\, Paik illuminates how Tamasha was produced and shaped through conflicts over caste\, gender\, sexuality and culture. \nShailaja Paik is Taft Distinguished Professor\, Department of History and Affiliate in Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies and Asian Studies at the University of Cincinnati. Her first book Dalit Women’s Education in Modern India: Double Discrimination (Routledge\, 2014) examines the nexus between caste\, class\, gender\, and state pedagogical practices among Dalit (“Untouchable”) women in urban India. Her second book The Vulgarity of Caste: Dalits\, Sexuality\, and Humanity (Stanford University Press\, 2022) focuses on the politics of caste\, class\, gender\, sexuality\, and popular culture in modern Maharashtra. She is working on her third monograph “Becoming ‘Vulgar’: Caste Domination and Normative Sexuality in Modern India” and co-editing a book on Dr. B.R. Ambedkar (Cambridge University Press\, Forthcoming). \nThis event is part of the ‘Power\, Inequality\, Dissent’ series led by Prof. Divya Cherian (History) and Dr. Harini Kumar (History/CGI). \nCo-sponsored by the Program in South Asian Studies and the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies \nTo register for this event\, please use this form. \nShailaja Paik will be holding office hours on February 17\, 2023 for Princeton students. Please use this form to sign up for an appointment.

SUMMARY:Medieval Faculty Colloquium | Oath and Law: Legal Language in Early Imperial and Medieval China
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Medieval Studies is pleased to offer the Faculty Colloquium series for Spring 2023. Trenton W. Wilson (East Asian Studies) will present our first lunchtime talk of the semester on Tuesday\, February 21. \nIn this presentation\, Wilson will examine the language of interdiction in early Chinese law “codes” with an eye to the persistence of oath language—and its eventual disappearance. Oath language\, he argues\, provided a template for articulating how laws bind\, the relationship between emperor and subject\, and cultural practices for disseminating law throughout the empire.
