SUMMARY:Chile 9/11 Series | Alfredo Castro: A Political Retrospective (Film Series)
DESCRIPTION:Series curated by Javier Guerrero (Princeton University) & Juana Suárez (New York University) \nMarking the 50th anniversary\, this September 11\, of the military coup against President Allende in Chile\, this retrospective is dedicated to Alfredo Castro\, the internationally acclaimed Chilean actor whose work is essential to a deep exploration of the cruelty of the dictatorship led by Augusto Pinochet (1973-1989). Inspired by the French playwright Antonin Artaud\, Castro has theorized the ‘third body\,’ a key concept in the study of unknown and unconfessed human drives. In this retrospective\, we privilege Castro’s close\, decades-long collaboration with the Chilean director Pablo Larraín. \nFull event series information is listed on the Program in Latin American Studies website.

SUMMARY:Medieval Faculty Colloquium: "How Japan Became Known as the Land of the Rising Sun: The Enduring Influence of the Seventeen Commandments of 604"
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Medieval Studies is pleased to offer the Faculty Colloquium series for Fall 2023. \nThe Seventeen Commandments of Prince Shōtoku (574-622) enthroned Buddhism as the basis for the monarchy\, distanced Japan from the Chinese model of history\, and ultimately caused Japan to be identified as the “Land of the Rising Sun.” That notion\, long thought to be a simple statement of Japan’s geography\, served as a declaration of political independence as well. Join us on October 31 to hear Professor Thomas Conlan (East Asian Studies and History)  present the lunchtime talk\, How Japan Became Known as the Land of the Rising Sun: The Enduring Influence of the Seventeen Commandments of 604. \nPlease RSVP Here. Lunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:"Art’s Properties”
DESCRIPTION:David Joselit\n“Art’s Properties”\n[Response: Irene V. Small]\nTuesday\, October 31\, 2023 @5pm ET\nN107 (School of Architecture) \nArt’s Properties is a revisionist reading of modern art in response to recent calls for racial justice. It assesses modern Euro-American art\, from the late 18th century to the present\, in light of systemic racism or white supremacy. As such\, it addresses questions of repatriation\, the history of museums and copyright\, black radical theory\, and contemporary art criticism to explore the ethics of claiming aesthetic content as one’s own exclusive property. \nDavid Joselit is the Arthur Kingsley Porter Professor and Chair of Art\, Film\, and Visual Studies at Harvard. He is author several books including Heritage and Debt: Art in Globalization (MIT Press 2020) which won the Robert Motherwell Book award in 2021 and Art’s Properties (Princeton University Press\, 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: Toward a Topology of Modernism\, is forthcoming from Zone Books in 2024.

SUMMARY:History (Re)incarnate: George Eliot and Qurratulain Hyder
DESCRIPTION:In making incarnation a key term for her fiction\, George Eliot exemplifies a broader Victorian effort to transmute Christian sentiment into a secular ideal of sympathy and an aesthetic of realism. At the same time\, the critical tendency to situate Eliot in relation to a New Testament paradigm has obscured her engagement with cosmologies other than the Christian telos. Disambiguating incarnation from the New Testament legacy—but not from religion—this talk traces Eliot’s interest in forms of ensouled embodiment that take shape in multiple iterations over time. Inspired by calls to reimagine the geographical and chronological boundaries of Victorian studies\, this talk pairs Middlemarch (1871-72) with a 20th-century Urdu novel that makes reincarnation its organizing narrative principle: Qurratulain Hyder’s Aag ka Darya (1959)/River of Fire (trans. 1998)\, a historical epic that sees its characters repeatedly reborn over the course of 2500 years. In examining how both novels theorize history by engaging with Hindu and Buddhist models of spiritual embodiment\, this talk demonstrates what becomes possible when we consider the relationship between literary form and religious doctrine outside the Christian context.

SUMMARY:Ukrainian Poetry in Translation with Ilya Kaminsky\, Katie Farris\, Maya Chabra\, Andrew Janco & Olga Livshin
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reading and discussion with a showcase of poets and translators from two new books that consider what it means to be Ukrainian during unthinkable times. \nIn the Hour of War: Poems from Ukraine\, edited by Carolyn Forché and Ilya Kaminsky \nPoetry has played an outsized role in Ukrainian culture since its inception. “Our anthology begins: ’Letters of the alphabet go to war’ and ends with ’I am writing/ and all my people are writing’\,” note the editors. “It includes poets whose work is known to thousands of people\, who are translated into dozens of languages\, as well as those who are relatively unknown in the West.” \nToday is a Different War by Lyudmyla Khersonska \nMasterfully translated into English by Olga Livshin\, Andrew Janco\, Maya Chhabra\, and Lev Fridman\, few other volumes of poems capture the duality of fear and bravery\, anger and love\, despair and hope\, as well as the numbness and deep feeling of what it means to be Ukrainian in these dark times as starkly as Livshin’s new collection. \nMaya Chhabra’s translations have appeared in The White Review\, Cardinal Points\, and Poetry Travels. She is the author of a novel in verse\, Chiara in the Dark\, and several other children’s books including Stranger on the Home Front. Her short stories and original poetry have appeared in Strange Horizons\, PodCastle\, and various anthologies. Katie Farris is the author of the memoir-in-poems\, Standing in the Forest of Being Alive. She is also the author of the hybrid-form text boysgirls\, and the chapbooks A Net to Catch My Body in its Weaving; Thirteen Intimacies; and Mother Superior in Hell.  Most recently she is winner of the Pushcart Prize. Her work has appeared in The New York Times\, Granta\, The Atlantic Monthly\, The Nation\, and Poetry\, and has been commissioned by MoMA. She is currently Visiting Associate Professor of Poetry at Princeton University. Andrew Janco’s translations are published in The New York Times\, Ploughshares\, and other journals\, and are included in the anthology Words for War: New Poems from Ukraine. With Olga Livshin\, he is the co-translator of A Man Only Needs a Room\, a volume of Vladimir Gandelsman’s poetry. llya Kaminsky was born in Odesa\, Ukraine\, and now lives in the United States. He is the author of two poetry collections\, Dancing in Odessa and The Deaf Republic. His works also include translations\, essays and anthologies. He is a professor of creative writing at Princeton University. Olga Livshin’s poetry and translations appear in The New York Times\, Ploughshares\, the Kenyon Review\, and other journals. She is the author of A Life Replaced: Poems with translations from Anna Akhmatova and Vladimir Gandelsman. She is a co-translator of A Man Only Needs a Room.

SUMMARY:"Byzantium Revisited: A Focus on Modern Greek Painting"
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop exploring a few examples of the various forms of visual European culture such as theater\, cinema\, poetry\, photography\, painting\, we will indicate the strong and persistent interest of Western Europeans in Byzantine cultural achievements at the end of 19th century through the first half of 20th. We will focus on the place that was accorded to Byzantium within the artistic production of Greek artists such as Parthenis\, Contoglou\, Engonopoulos\, Tsarouchis\, and Asteriadis. Those artists from different paths were trying to perceive and assimilate elements of tradition and of modernity in their visual discourse\, seeking new means of expression and a way to define themselves and their art. \nHybrid Lecture: Register here for In-Person\, here for online.

SUMMARY:Ideologies of resilience in ancient Roman architecture
DESCRIPTION:This lecture explores Roman failure and its counterpart\, resilience\, in ancient Roman architecture and urbanism. Focusing on the years before the great fire of 64\, it argues\, perhaps surprisingly\, that Romans faced constant architectural failure\, which authorities carefully managed; and that even before the fire\, failure analysis and resilience strategies were recurrent catalysts for architectural change\, with their own powerful ideological charge. It concludes by returning to Nero’s radical building legislation after the conflagration\, which\, against this new continuum\, delivers even more radical repercussions than are usually recognised.

SUMMARY:Dalits and the Anti-Caste Epistemology: From Oral to Literary Tradition in Telugu Country
DESCRIPTION:Caste is one of human history’s oldest forms of inequality\, legitimized by Brahmanical knowledge and enforced through caste-based violence and dehumanization. This paper argues that the anti-caste articulations are as old as caste itself. Using the Telugu-speaking areas as a historical site\, this paper tracks the anti-caste epistemology articulated by Dalits for centuries in the forms of oral and folk traditions. With the dawn of colonial modernity\, anti-caste articulations in the form of literary journals\, texts\, and political pamphlets in the colonial public sphere challenged caste inequality and Brahmanical power and supremacy. The paper uses Kula (Caste) Puranas of the marginalized communities as an oral resistance tradition and the Telugu publications of Dalits and anti-caste writers to build an alternative anti-caste epistemology that resisted Brahmanical oppression and envisioned egalitarian philosophy of equality and dignity as a precondition for human emancipation. \nChinnaiah Jangam is an associate professor in the Department of History at Carleton University. His research focuses on the social and intellectual history of Dalits in modern South Asia\, illuminating the histories of marginalization and resistance through the lens of Dalits. It attempts to construct an historical narrative of anti-caste epistemology as a stepping stone to an ethical and egalitarian world. His first book\, “Dalits and the Making of Modern India\,” was published by Oxford University Press in 2017. He is currently working on several projects\, including a memoir about his mother and a translation of the Telugu classic “Gabbilam” (The Bat). \nRegister here.

DESCRIPTION:This co-presentation aims to unsettle the way the history of Ukraine has been imagined by venturing into stories that might be found in other historiographies\, such as Russian\, Eastern European\, Polish\, Jewish\, and Soviet. Exploring the biographies of two women—Dina Pronicheva\, a Jewish survivor of Babyn Iar and a puppet theater actress\, and Muza Konsulova\, an architect involved in postwar rebuilding in Soviet Ukraine—highlights the ways we can reimagine scholarly categories and think differently about women’s lives in the time of war and postwar. Ukraine then becomes central to larger stories of the region. \nParticipants: \nSofia Dyak\nDirector of the Center for Urban History\, Lviv\, Ukraine \nMayhill C. Fowler\nAssociate Professor of History\, Stetson University \nOrganized by the Program in Russian\, East European and Eurasian Studies; co-sponsored by the Program in Judaic Studies

SUMMARY:Ideologies of Economy: Narrative Subversion in German Poetic Realism
DESCRIPTION:The talk will explore Gustav Freytag’s bestseller Soll und Haben (1855) and its colonial economies. Although the novel seems to advocate a strict set of values and constructs the other on a finely graded scale\, its narrative means subvert this set of values and its assertions. One reason for the novel’s great success may lie not in its ideological thrust\, but in its ultimately subversive narrative complexity. \nSebastian Meixner is Oberassistent at the University of Zurich and principal investigator of his research group “Poetics of Abundance” funded through the Swiss National Science Foundation.

SUMMARY:HMEI Faculty Seminar - Visuality Against the Anthropocene: Landscape Vision and Things That Do Not See
DESCRIPTION:Rachael DeLue\, professor of art and archaeology and American studies\, will present “Visuality Against the Anthropocene: Landscape Vision and Things That Do Not See” in Guyot Hall\, Room 10\, and online via Zoom. DeLue is the third speaker in the fall 2023 HMEI Faculty Seminar Series. \nDefined broadly as a portion of the Earth’s surface that can be seen at one time from one place\, or narrowly as an artistic representation of the natural world\, landscape supposedly hinges on the presence of a human observer. In this seminar\, DeLue will consider instances of landscape representation from the sciences in the long nineteenth century that may be described as exceeding a human point of view\, often against the grain of intention. Considered alongside entities such as the subterranean and animals without eyes that negate the visual and\, by extension\, anthropocentric visibility\, these pictures imagine how humans might manage to see beyond themselves. \nThis seminar is free and open to the public. Lunch will be available in the Guyot Atrium at noon. All attendees can register here in advance to attend this event via Zoom livestream.

SUMMARY:"On Modern Living”
DESCRIPTION:Graduate Program in Media + Modernity | Princeton University \nGerard & Kelly\n” On Modern Living”\n[Response: Beatriz Colomina]\nTuesday\, November 07\, 2023 @5pm ET\nBetts Auditorium (School of Architecture) \nEvent co-sponsored by the Program in Visual Arts (VIS). \nIn Modern Living\, a series of films and performances created in iconic architectural sites\, Gerard & Kelly mine “ruins of modernism” for their hidden choreographies and radical social experiments. Beginning with the R.M. Schindler House in West Hollywood\, California (1922)\, designed to house two young couples in an early experiment of communal living\, and continuing through their recent project at E 1027\, Eileen Gray’s villa in Roquebrune-Cap Martin\, France (1929)\, the lecture tracks the artists’ ongoing probe of the layered and complicated history of modernism. \nAmerican artists based in Paris since 2018\, Brennan Gerard and Ryan Kelly have collaborated for nearly two decades on performance\, video\, and installation\, among other formats. Having collectively studied ballet\, visual art\, literature\, and gender studies\, Gerard & Kelly use conceptual strategies within art and dance to examine broader themes of memory\, history\, subjectivity\, and sexuality. \nBeatriz Colomina is the Howard Crosby Butler Professor of the History of Architecture. Her most recent books are X-Ray Architecture (Lars Muller\, 2019)and Radical Pedagogies\, ed. with Ignacio Gonzalez Galan\, Evangelos Kotsioris\, and Anna-Maria Meister (MIT Press\, 2022). \nGerard & Kelly\, Modern Living\, 2016.

SUMMARY:Mellon Forum // The Cost of Borders
DESCRIPTION:The book project\, The Cost of Borders\, observes borders from the perspective of people crossing the chasm between Global South and North. As wealthy countries dedicate large financial and human resources to offshoring\, weaponizing\, and fortifying their borders\, crossing them requires increasingly larger physical risks as well as steep expenditures — such as on smugglers\, brokers\, and means of transportation. These expenditures vary not only by a country’s laws\, or one’s anticipated legal status\, but also by their categorization within intersecting inequalities of gender\, sexuality\, race or physical ability. Observing the economic realities of border zones\, and their social meanings\, borders can be viewed as a series of transactions that are always costly and often deadly.

SUMMARY:LLM Forum: A Conversation with Wai Chee Dimock
DESCRIPTION:RSVP here. \nRecent breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have produced a new class of neural networks called Large Language Models (LLMs) that demonstrate a remarkable capability to generate fluent\, plausible responses to prompts posed in natural language. While LLMs have already revolutionized certain industry applications\, the recent debut of ChatGPT has generated new anxiety and curiosity about machine intelligence\, especially in the way we teach\, research\, tell stories and report facts. \nThe Princeton LLM Forum is bringing together leading scholars and researchers from a variety of disciplines and fields to discuss the implications that large language models (LLMs) have on our understanding of language\, society\, culture\, and theory of mind. Join us for our second panel\, a discussion between Wai Chee Dimock\, William Lampson Professor Emeritus of American Studies and English at Yale University and research affiliate at the Harvard University Center for the Environment\, and CDH Faculty Director Meredith Martin\, associate professor of English. \n\nWai Chee Dimock writes about public health\, climate change\, and indigenous communities\, focusing on the symbiotic relation between human and nonhuman intelligence. She is now at Harvard’s Center for the Environment\, working on a new book\, “AI\, Microbes\, and Us: Risky Partners in an Age of Pandemics and Climate Change.” A collaborative project\, “AI for Climate Resilience\,” is co-sponsored by Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence and Yale’s Jackson School of Global Affairs. Dimock’s most recent book is Weak Planet (2020). Other books include Through Other Continents: American Literature Across Deep Time (2006); Shades of the Planet (2007); and a team-edited anthology\, American Literature in the World: Anne Bradstreet to Octavia Butler ( 2017). Her 1996 book\, Residues of Justice: Literature\, Law\, Philosophy\, was reissued in a new edition in 2021. Her essays have appeared in Artforum\, Chronicle of Higher Education\, The Hill\, Los Angeles Review of Books\, New York Times\, New Yorker\, and Scientific American.

SUMMARY:On the Integral Nature of the Zuo zhuan 左傳 (Zuo Tradition) as Seen from Such Factors as Character Development
DESCRIPTION:The Zuo zhuan is at once our most important source of textual knowledge about pre-imperial China and yet one whose level of factual historicity is most notoriously difficult to assess. On the one hand\, it provides us with a vast array of internally coherent facts concerning the dates\, locations\, and other details of major events of the Chunqiu period\, while\, on the other\, it is rife with elaborate speeches and narrative details that betray unmistakable signs of literary embellishment\, coupled with moralizing assessments that show greater concern with the lessons to be drawn from the historical record than the demonstrable facts of that record itself. Most fundamentally\, there is also the question of what the Zuo zhuan\, at its core\, really is—an annalistic commentary to the Spring and Autumn Annals\, or a work of some different nature whose present form is merely the result of a conscious\, later attempt to forcibly graft it to that classic. In response to some recent studies that have tended to view the work as a relatively haphazardly aggregate of disparate parts\, this lecture re-examines the Zuo zhuan in terms of its relation to both the historical events recorded in the Chunqiu annals and contemporaneous events known from other sources. After examining the merits and drawbacks of the recent scholarship in question\, the talk will focus on a particular instance of character development in the work to argue that the Zuo zhuan may still best be viewed as a largely coherent whole\, assembled carefully through the conscious design of a compiler intent on making intelligible sense of both the events recorded in the Chunqiu annals and major events of the period that were somehow excluded or otherwise omitted therefrom.

SUMMARY:"The True Adventures of His Life": A Centenary Celebration for Victor Brombert
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Humanities Council to celebrate former Council Chair Victor Brombert on the splendid occasions of his centenary and his new book\, The Pensive Citadel. This event will feature a panel discussion with Maria DiBattista (English and Comparative Literature)\, Alexander Nehamas (Philosophy and Comparative Literature\, emeritus)\, and Christy Wampole (French and Italian).\n \nCopies of The Pensive Citadel will be available for purchase after the event\, courtesy of Labyrinth Books. \n\n\nVictor Brombert is the Henry Putnam University Professor Emeritus of Romance and Comparative Literatures at Princeton University and the author of many books including In Praise of Antiheroes\, Musings on Mortality\, and Stendhal. His most recent publication\, The Pensive Citadel\, will be released in October 2023 by The University of Chicago Press. In The Pensive Citadel\, Victor Brombert looks back on a lifetime of learning within a university world greatly altered since he entered Yale on the GI Bill in the 1940s. Yet for all that has changed\, much of Brombert’s long experience as a reader and teacher is richly familiar: the rewards of rereading\, the joy of learning from students\, and most of all the insight to be found in engaging works of literature. The essays gathered here range from meditations on laughter and jealousy to new appreciations of Brombert’s lifelong companions Shakespeare\, Montaigne\, Voltaire\, and Stendhal. Foreword by Christy Wampole.

SUMMARY:LLL Presents Angus Deaton & Matthew Desmond: "Economics in America"
DESCRIPTION:In his new book\, the Nobel-prize winning economist explains in clear terms how the field of economics addresses pressing issues from poverty\, retirement\, and the minimum wage to the ravages of the nation’s uniquely disastrous health care system\, and he recounts his own experiences as a naturalized US citizen and academic economist. We are thrilled to welcome him along with Matthew Desmond\, the Pulitzer Prize winning author of Evicted and Poverty\, by America\, for a presentation and discussion. \nWhen Angus Deaton immigrated to the United States from Britain in the early 1980s\, he was awed by America’s strengths and shocked by the extraordinary gaps he witnessed between people. In his incisive\, candid\, and funny book\, he describes the everyday lives of working economists\, recounting the triumphs as well as the disasters\, and tells the inside story of the Nobel Prize in economics and the journey that led him to Stockholm to receive one. He discusses the ongoing tensions between economics and politics—and the extent to which economics has any content beyond the political prejudices of economists—and reflects on whether economists bear at least some responsibility for the growing despair and rising populism in America. \nAngus Deaton\, winner of the 2015 Nobel Prize in economics\, is Professor of Economics and International Affairs Emeritus and Senior Scholar at Princeton University. He is the author with Anne Case of the New York Times bestselling Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism. Matthew Desmond is professor of sociology at Princeton University. He is the author of four seminal books\, including Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City\, and Poverty\, by America\, and is the principal investigator of The Eviction Lab at Princeton. \nCo-presented by Labyrinth Books and the Princeton Public Library and cosponsored by Princeton University’s Humanities Council\, Economics and Sociology Departments\, and Eviction Lab\, and  SPIA in NJ.

SUMMARY:McGraw Center Faculty Workshop: Flipping the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Increasingly\, instructors are embracing the flipped classroom as a way to encourage active learning. In a flipped classroom\, students engage with course content outside of class (often via short recorded lecture segments) and then complete higher-level\, more challenging activities during class\, often with their peers. \nIn this “How to/Why to” session\, we will discuss the pedagogy of flipped classrooms\, hear from Princeton faculty who have used the approach\, and learn about McGraw’s resources to support these active learning strategies.

SUMMARY:The End of Popular Participation? City Politics in Post-Imperial Hispania
DESCRIPTION:By the sixth century\, political\, social\, and demographic changes brought traditional popular urban participation in late antique Hispania to an end. This crisis\, however\, did not result in a complete abandonment of non-elite participation. While sources tend to downplay the intervention of non-elite actors and favor the view of a “universal” consensus\, the written evidence occasionally betrays the political action of popular or middling groups. This talk offers different criteria to conceptualize non-elite actors in the textual and material evidence and advances some ideas on how to approach non-elite participation in post-imperial cities. \nDamián Fernández is Associate Professor of History at Northern Illinois University. He has published on the social\, institutional\, and economic history of the Iberian Peninsula in late antiquity\, including a monograph titled Aristocrats and Statehood in Western Iberia\, 300-600 CE. He is currently co-authoring a translation and commentary of the seventh-century law code known as Liber Iudiciorum. \nPlease register here if you plan to attend.
