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

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

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

SUMMARY:Media + Modernity: "Disability as Method”
DESCRIPTION:Mara Mills\n“Disability as Method”\n[Response: Viktoria Tkaczyk]\nTuesday\, September 12\, 2023 @5pm ET\nN107 (School of Architecture) \nScholars in disability studies began using the phrase “disability as method” across several disciplines in the 2010s\, to consider disability as a tool\, a theory\, an aesthetic\, and a source of new media. Mills will discuss Crip Authorship: Disability as Method (August 2023)\, coedited with Rebecca Sanchez\, a volume that convenes this scholarship across literature\, the arts\, anthropology\, and media studies. In conversation with Viktoria Tkaczyk\, she will also discuss her work on “disability as method” in the history of science. \nMara Mills is Associate Professor of Media\, Culture\, and Communication at New York University and founding co-director of the NYU Center for Disability Studies. She is also a founding editorial board member of Catalyst: Feminism\, Theory\, Technoscience. She is recently co-editor of Testing Hearing: The Making of Modern Aurality (Oxford 2020)\, Crip Authorship: Disability as Method (NYU 2023)\, and a forthcoming special issue of Osiris on “Disability and the History of Science” (2024). Upcoming publications include the NSF-funded edited collection How to be Disabled in a Pandemic (NYU Press)\, a coauthored book with Jonathan Sterne on time stretching\, and an NEH-funded collaborative research project with Michele Friedner on “The Global Cochlear Implant.” \nViktoria Tkaczyk is Professor in the Department of Musicology and Media Studies at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and currently the Whitney J. Oates Visiting Fellow in the Humanities Council and the Department of German. She has published widely on the history of early modern and modern aviation\, architecture\, acoustics\, neuroscience\, experimental aesthetics\, and sound media. Her current work includes a new project exploring how humanistic and scientific technologies relate to geopolitics and resource regimes\, and a collaborative project entitled “Applied Humanities: Genealogies and Politics.“ Her most recent publications include Thinking with Sound: A New Program in the Sciences and Humanities around 1900 (University of Chicago Press\, 2023); “Supplied Knowledge: Reconsidering the Resources of Epistemic Tools” (Focus Section\, Isis: A Journal of the History of Science Society\, 114/2\, 2023)\, ed. with C. von Oertzen.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Writers and Missionaries: Essays on the Radical Imagination
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be a politically committed writer? Please join us for a discussion of the lives and works of some of the greatest intellectuals of recent times. \nIn his new essay collection\, Adam Shatz asks: do writers have an ethical imperative to question injustice? How can one remain a dispassionate thinker when involved in the cut and thrust of politics? And\, in an age of horror and crisis\, what does it mean to be a committed writer? He interrogates the major figures of twentieth and twenty-first century thought and finds within their lives and work the roots of our present intellectual and geopolitical situation. \nAdam Shatz is the US editor of The London Review of Books and a contributor to The New York Times Magazine\, The New York Review of Books\, The New Yorker\, and other publications. He is also the host of the podcast “Myself with Others\,” produced by the pianist Richard Sears. Michael Wood is professor emeritus of English and Comparative Literature at Princeton University. He has written widely on 20th century literature\, film\, and literary theory and is an admired cultural critic who writes regularly for the New York Review of Books and the London Review of Books. He is the author of seminal books on Nabokov\, Marquez\, Yeats\, Oracles\, and much more. \nThis event is cosponsored by Princeton University’s Humanities Council and English Department.

SUMMARY:Faculty Workshop: New Technologies for Teaching and Learning with Images
DESCRIPTION:New technologies for delivering high-quality\, high-resolution images are changing the way that libraries\, museums\, and archives make visual resources available and are inspiring the creation of new tools for viewing\, annotating\, and working with digital images. These new tools and technologies offer exciting possibilities for how we make use of images for teaching and learning. The International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF\, pronounced “triple-eye-F”) is a suite of open-source technical standards built to address the common needs of cultural heritage organizations that deliver digital images of their collections. But IIIF is also more than a technical standard: it is a rich community of people engaged in the use of digital media for research\, preservation\, and scholarship. \nThis session\, led by Julia Gearhart\, Director of the Visual Resources Collection the Department of Art & Archaeology\, and Ben Johnston\, Senior Educational Technologist in the McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning\, will provide participants with an introduction to the framework with a focus on how digital images (and other media) can be used in the classroom\, including an overview of the tools available for working with digital images\, the process by which images may be made available within the Canvas learning management system\, and the types of assignments afforded by those tools. Absolutely no experience with IIIF is expected or necessary. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:"Erini featuring Ara Dinkjian: A Musical Chronicle of Asia Minor"
DESCRIPTION:International vocalist\, Erini\, accompanied by oud master\, Ara Dinkjian\, present an intimate duo concert of Asia Minor standards\, dedicated to commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Smyrna Catastrophe and the Population Exchange. Erini’s vision for this concert is to pay tribute to her great-grandparents legacy who were refugees from Smyrna whilst shedding a light on the richness of the Asia Minor musical heritage. \nThe concert is a musical narrative of the Hellenic presence in Asia Minor and tells the story of the Smyrna Catastrophe through the power of the Anatolian-Greek song tradition. The joyful existence of the Greeks in Anatolia prior to the Catastrophe is exalted by love songs such as “Menexedes kai Zoumpoulia” and “Apo xeno topo”. Depicting the tragic Catastrophe itself and reflecting the despair of the refugees is the song “Giati Pouli M’ Den Kelaidis” which epitomises the powerlessness of the refugees who have lost their homes\, livelihood\, and relatives. Characteristic of the Population Exchange when the Anatolian-Greeks tried to acclimatize to Greece but were faced with alienation\, discrimination\, and trauma is the song “Ti Se Mellei Esenane”. A highlight of the concert is Erini’s performance of “Smyrneiko Minore”\, one of the first Greek songs ever recorded in the United States by the iconic Marika Papagika\, marking the beginning of the strong and long-standing presence of Hellenism in this country. Erini hopes that by performing this music and introducing the story of these refugees on a global scale\, she will preserve this unique cultural heritage for the future generations. \nFree and Open to the Public \nCo-sponsored by Near Eastern Studies\, the Department of Music\, and the Humanities Council.

SUMMARY:Confused by All the Chatter? Journalists\, Researchers & Policymakers Talk Chatbots and Other Large Language Models
DESCRIPTION:As part of the CITP Digital Investigators Conference\, the public is invited to join in person or virtually for this event. Please register here to attend in person. The livestream will be available here. \nPowerful new technologies like OpenAI’s “ChatGPT” or Google’s “Bard” have sparked excitement over the potential they have to transform how we work\, learn and communicate for the better. But their potential harms also trigger fears and unease. As a result\, the public discourse around such large language models (LLMs) can be noisy or chaotic. \nCITP has convened a panel of experts from the journalism\, tech research and public policy sectors to discuss their experiences with – and approaches to – engaging with these emerging technologies in their respective professions. We will also talk about the responsibilities journalists and academics may have in shaping the public conversation around digital technologies\, and how they can support each other’s work for the benefit of the public. \nThis event is cosponsored by the Brown Institute for Media Innovation\, CITP’s Digital Witness Lab\, the Pulitzer Center and the Humanities Council’s Program in Journalism.

SUMMARY:The medieval transmission of ancient knowledge in colonial and post-colonial narratives: moving beyond them with help from the Greek and Arabic grammarians
DESCRIPTION:Since the sixteenth century\, the transmission of knowledge from antiquity to modernity was pieced together as follows: the sciences were born in the ancient Near East and Egypt. They were received in the ancient Greek world and were furnished with a theoretical background in philosophy. Philosophy and science were cherished in the Roman world but died out by the seventh century. They were soon received by the Arabs through the Greek-to-Arabic translation movement of the ninth and tenth centuries. They were repatriated to Europe through an Arabic-to-Latin translation movement in the twelfth century. Their definitive and qualitatively superior repatriation occurred in the fifteenth century\, when Byzantine scholars fleeing the Ottoman empire brought to Europe their knowledge of the Greek language and manuscripts of the ancient Greek authors. This narrative was further elaborated in the colonial conditions of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Post-colonial critics attacked many of its components but have not proposed any new and comprehensive narrative. The lecture will use the example of grammar to explain how this master narrative can be replaced and what the political implications of doing so are. \n\n\n\n\nSponsored by the Eberhard L. Faber 1915 Memorial Fund in the Humanities Council

SUMMARY:Memento by Hala Moughanie: A staged reading
DESCRIPTION:A stranger shows up in the main square of a village. He’s expecting to buy the land on behalf of his company\, which plans to turn it into a profitable rice field. As he waits for the seller who was supposed to meet him there\, he talks with a woman whom he takes to be the caretaker of this land where the vegetation is inexplicably dying. She’s a rebellious woman who speaks in enigmatic language\, and makes clear that she feels herself viscerally connected to the earth—a perspective incompatible with the stranger’s project. \nMemento by Hala Moughanie\, translated from French (Lebanon) and directed by Neil Blackadder\, Program in Translation Translator in Residence\, features Megan Pan ’23 and Jay White ’24 and is stage managed by Milan Eldridge. This fable explores the possibility of a true meeting between two beings who are fundamentally opposed to each other.
