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:Sounds in Wax: Musicology\, Linguistics\, and the World as a Resource
DESCRIPTION:This lecture focuses on the Berlin Phonogramm-Archiv\, founded in 1900\, and its subsequent strategy of collecting languages and music from a potentially wide range of world regions. But at the time\, members of the archive managed to embrace the world as a resource in yet another respect: the daily production of cylinder records required large quantities of wax and various other materials that depended on a global system of material supply—including Brazilian carnauba wax and montan wax from German lignite mines\, the extraction of which caused environmental damage and deprived local populations of their livelihoods. As I show\, this use of material resources resonated in many ways with the agenda for the study of cultural resources developed at the Phonogramm-Archiv during the eras of the German Empire\, World War I\, German colonialism\, and the Weimar Republic. In addition\, the production of the wax cylinders provided members of the archive with extensive knowledge of materials science and chemistry\, which in turn influenced their methods of analyzing and understanding language and music. \nFor more information and primary reading material\, visit the Department of German website. \nCo-sponsored by the Department of Music.

SUMMARY:African Americans and Xenophon\, c. 1800–1910
DESCRIPTION:This talk uses evidence from newspapers\, school catalogues\, and other documents to reveal the key role that Xenophon’s works—especially the Anabasis and Memorabilia—played in Black education\, intellectual life\, and popular culture in the United States from around 1800 to around 1910. The talk pays particular attention to curricular developments at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)\, including prominent schools such as Howard University\, Atlanta University\, and Fisk University\, along with lesser-known institutions scattered across the U.S. South. It gives attention to Black women’s as well as men’s responses to Xenophon. It highlights how African American intellectual leaders including Fanny Jackson Coppin\, W.E.B. Du Bois\, John Wesley Gilbert\, and William Sanders Scarborough engaged with Xenophon’s works. And\, the paper explores the important intersections between African American interest in Greco-Roman Classics and African American Christianity.

SUMMARY:Constitution Day Lecture 2023: The Constitution and the Court
DESCRIPTION:Constitution Day Lecture 2023 \nThe idea that the Constitution means whatever the Supreme Court says it means is\, in important respects\, hard-wired in the contemporary American psyche.  It did not have to be this way.  Indeed\, a fair measure of constitutional scholarship over the past two centuries has been occupied by professorial debates over whether or not it should.  Today\, for the first time in more than half a century\, a deeply controversial Court has led a fair measure of Americans to begin asking the same question. But the reasons for the Court’s plummeting status in broad polls of public confidence – the reasons why a growing number of Americans now question its legitimacy – could be many.  Which if any of those reasons might justify the conviction that it is time to rethink the Court’s effective monopoly on constitutional meaning? The answer depends on what we think a court’s job is – what a judge’s or even a lawyer’s job is – in the first place. It depends on what we can reasonably expect of the rule of law\, and of the Constitution as a part of it. \nDeborah Pearlstein is director of Princeton’s new Program in Law and Public Policy and is the Charles and Marie Robertson Visiting Professor in Law and Public Affairs. She is currently Professor of Law and Co-director of the Floersheimer Center for Constitutional Democracy at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University\, and teaches a course each year in law and public policy. \nDeborah holds a J.D. from Harvard Law School. After earning her law degree\, she clerked for Justice John Paul Stevens of the U.S. Supreme Court\, worked in private practice\, and served as the founding director of the Law and Security Program at Human Rights First. Following her departure from practice\, Deborah was appointed a research scholar in law and public affairs at SPIA\, a position she held for four years\, until joining Cardozo Law as an assistant professor of law in 2011. Her work on the U.S. Constitution\, international law\, and national security has appeared widely in law journals and the popular press\, where she is quoted often as an expert source\, and has repeatedly been the subject of her testimony before Congress. Before entering law school\, she served as senior editor and speechwriter in the White House to President Clinton. Today\, she serves on the U.S. State Department Advisory Committee on Historical Diplomatic Documentation\, focused on ensuring the timely declassification and publication of government records surrounding major events in U.S. foreign policy.

SUMMARY:Transhemispheric Translation: Scenes from Contemporary Latin American Poetics
DESCRIPTION:This talk is organized around case studies of “transhemispheric translation\,” a term employed to describe poetic experiments that fundamentally foreground translation—between Spanish and English\, Latin America and the United States—for the purpose of negotiating hemispheric power differentials. Beginning in the context of the inter-American Cold War of the late 1960s and early 1970s\, this talk demonstrates that translation operated as a space of Cold War power. This context allows for a re-reading of Cold War poetic performances of inter-American contact: the Argentine poet Juan Gelman’s 1969 pseudotranslation of a fake US poet and the Chilean multimedia artist Cecilia Vicuña’s 1973 “untranslation” into English. The talk ends by considering a recent example—non-equivalent self-translations by the Puerto Rican poet Urayoán Noel—to consider how transhemispheric translation continues to function in anti-imperialist fashion today.

SUMMARY:Notes Toward the Media History of Gibberish
DESCRIPTION:Gibberish has historically inhabited three media: voice\, letter\, and analog device. Since the beginning of speech\, people have been making and hearing unintelligible sounds; since the invention of the alphabet and later of moveable type\, spirits of all kinds have conjured with the combinatorics of letters; and since the 19th-century invention of audiovisual transmission and recording\, new kinds of white noise have erupted.  This talk aims partly to inventory and exemplify forms of gibberish\, and partly to consider the necessarily nonrandom fates that chase us symbolic animals. \nJohn Durham Peters teaches and writes on media history and philosophy. He is the María Rosa Menocal Professor of English and of Film & Media Studies at Yale University. He taught at the University of Iowa between 1986-2016. He is the author of Speaking into the Air: A History of the Idea of Communication\, Courting the Abyss: Free Speech and the Liberal Tradition\, and most recently\, The Marvelous Clouds: Toward a Philosophy of Elemental Media.

SUMMARY:John Durham Peters & Shannon Mattern in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an unconventional conversation with media theorists John Durham Peters (Yale) and Shannon Mattern (UPenn). Modeled as a cross between new media — an AMA (‘ask me anything’ event online) — and old media (scraps of paper with single words pulled from a jar)\, scholars will talk through a wide range of issues having to do with media theory\, the data of language\, and the invisible infrastructures of our everyday interactions. \nLunch will be provided. Seating is limited\, so RSVPs are required.

SUMMARY:The Plataian Community in Athens: An Enclave?
DESCRIPTION:The Plataians lived in Athens for the greater part of a century. Although they received citizenship\, the community maintained its independent identity. Applying a modified version of the modern enclave model\, I argue we can understand their role in the Athenian community and perhaps create a model for understanding other whole community migrations in antiquity.

SUMMARY:LLL Presents - Wednesday’s Child: Short Stories
DESCRIPTION:Labyrinth and the Princeton Public Library are pleased to celebrate a new short story collection about loss\, alienation\, aging\, and the strangeness of contemporary life by the author\, just last year\, of the award-winning The Book of Goose. Li will be talking about her new stories with fellow writer Lynn Steger. \nLi is a truly original writer\, an alchemist of opposites: tender and unsentimental\, metaphysical and blunt\, funny and horrifying\, omniscient and unusually aware of just how much we cannot know. In the stories in Wednesday’s Child\, a grieving mother makes a spreadsheet of everyone she’s lost. Elsewhere\, a professor develops a troubled intimacy with her hairdresser. And every year\, a restless woman receives an email from a strange man twice her age and several states away. In Yiyun Li’s stories\, people strive for an ordinary existence until the surface cracks and the grand mysterious forces—death\, violence\, estrangement—come to light. And even everyday life is laden with meaning\, studded with indelible details: a filched jar of honey\, a mound of wounded ants\, a photograph kept hidden for many years\, until it must be seen. \nYiyun Li is the author of Must I Go\, Where Reasons End\, Kinder Than Solitude\, A Thousand Years of Good Prayers\, The Vagrants\, Gold Boy\, Emerald Girl\, The Book of Goose\, and of the memoir Dear Friend\, from My Life I Write to You in Your Life. She is the recipient of many awards and honors and teaches at Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts. Lynn Steger Strong is the author of the novels Hold Still\,Want\, and Flight. Her non-fiction has appeared in The New York Times\, Los Angeles Times\, New York\, The Paris Review\, and elsewhere and has taught writing at many colleges and Universities including Columbia University and\, most recently\, Bates College.

SUMMARY:Thinking Through Minshū Bukkyō: Popular Buddhism and the Study of Premodern Japan
DESCRIPTION:The category of folk or popular Buddhism (minshū Bukkyō) offers tremendous promise for scholars of Japanese religion. It forces us to consider Buddhism beyond the walls of the monastery and challenges elite centered narratives by turning to the religion of the many (minshū) rather than the select and famous few. As such\, taking the Japanese category of popular Buddhism seriously helps usher in a new understanding of religion in premodern Japan\, one that addresses lived religion as enacted by individuals from diverse walks of life. Attention to the broader populace (minshū) allows scholars to move beyond standard accounts of premodern Japanese religions\, which have typically centered on powerful religious institutions as gates of power (kenmon) or the state’s role in promoting and regulating Buddhism. Put succinctly\, the model encourages a shift from top-down to bottom-up accounts of religiosity. \nBut the category also presents numerous problems\, many undertheorized in scholarship to date. Who is included in the category of popular? How is the term minshū best translated? What are the boundaries of this sociological category? Are the lines between elite and popular sharp? Does religious practice necessarily map onto social class? And given the fact that most extant sources stem from elite circles\, to what extent can we even access the religious lives of those outside of the upper echelons of society in premodern times? What methods are needed to do so? \nThis workshop encourages us to think through the concept. By this\, the organizers mean that we will both use the notion of popular Buddhism as a lens onto premodern Japanese religions while also engaging in a reassessment of the category’s meaning\, utility\, and limits. In doing so\, we will contribute to both the study of Japanese Buddhism and to that of the humanities more broadly. For the former\, we aim to develop new historiographical angles and greater conceptual rigor. For the latter\, we hope that the Japanese concept of minshū and the presented case studies will contribute new theoretical language and methods for studying non-elite practices. \nThe conference is open to the public and is bilingual. Papers will be presented in both English and Japanese. No translation will be provided. Register here.

SUMMARY:Mellon Forum // Womanist Work: Black Women Preachers and the Making of Sermonic Space in Literature and Music
DESCRIPTION:In Black Performance Theory\, Dr. D. Soyini Madison’s foreword explicates the imperatives and aesthetics of Black expressive culture coupled with the ways in which Blackness is performatively examined in time and space. Womanist Work centers the efficacy of the sermon within African American literature\, music\, and social-spiritual moments with respect to Black women preachers as cultural figures. In addition to investigating how Black women preachers use their sermons as modes of resistance\, Womanist Work foregrounds the Black woman preacher’s emphasis on musicality\, expressivity\, thematic relevance\, and improvisatory phrasing\, clarifying the ways that the delivery of the sermon must be understood in terms of both content and context. Womanist Work also acknowledges the prophetic scenarios in African American literature\, music\, and theology that speak to creating\, producing\, and discovering sermonic space regarding Black women preachers within the twenty-first century freedom movement.

SUMMARY:Sensory Life in South India: Counter-Narratives of Islamic Material Culture
DESCRIPTION:The Islamic built environment in India is under tremendous strain today. Mosques\, especially\, are disparaged as “ocular reminders” of India’s Muslim past. In this context\, how can we understand the range of significations that such sites have for ordinary Muslims? This talk focuses on mosques on the southeastern coast of India\, built in a distinctive style that is rooted in local architectural idioms. Such mosques are an integral part of the Tamil sacred landscape\, indexing the region’s longstanding Muslim presence as well as histories of maritime trade and mobility. The presentation explores how the architecture and materiality of the built environment mediate people’s connection to the past\, and how such sites are reimagined as spaces of heritage\, historical consciousness\, and cultural value. \nRegister here. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Program in South Asian Studies and the Department of Anthropology.

SUMMARY:Chile 9/11 Series | Voluspa Jarpa: "Chile 9/11 Before Chile 9/11"
DESCRIPTION:Chilean artist Voluspa Jarpa investigates the broader notion of the archive by synthesizing popular discourse\, declassified documents\, state symbols\, urban space\, personal narratives\, and psychoanalytic theory. Using materials as disparate as oil on canvas to lasers\, Jarpa analyzes the construction of hegemonic history and memory\, taking into account its inherent erasures and absences. Jarpa also explores ways to emancipate ourselves from these structures and facilitate a more complex telling of past\, present\, and future. \nAmong her numerous solo exhibitions such as En nuestra pequeña región de por acá at MALBA\, Buenos Aires (2016) and L’effet Charcot at La Maison de l’Amerique Latine in Paris (2010)\, Voluspa Jarpa has participated in many international exhibitions\, including the Venice Biennale\, Italy (2019); Shanghai Biennial\, China (2018); Parapolitics: Cultural Freedom and the Cold War at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt\, Berlin (2017–2018); and the 31st Sao Paulo Biennial\, Brazil (2014)\, among others. She recently participated in the BAM-Biennial of the Mediterranean Archipelago\, curated by Beatrice Merz\, with the work False Flag (2022). \nThis series has been funded by a Magic Grant from the Humanities Council. \nDISCUSSANTS\nRachel Price\, Spanish and Portuguese\, Princeton University\nOlivia Lott\, PLAS Postdoctoral Research Associate and Lecturer\, Princeton University \nMODERATOR\nJavier Guerrero\, Spanish and Portuguese \n\nThis talk will be in Spanish with simultaneous interpretation in English.

SUMMARY:Climate Inheritance
DESCRIPTION:Climate Inheritance is a speculative design publication that reckons with the complexity of world and heritage in the Anthropocene. The impacts of climate change on heritage sites—from Venice flooding to extinction in the Galápagos Islands—have garnered empathetic media attention in a landscape that has otherwise failed to communicate the urgency of the crisis. In a subversion of the media aura of heritage\, DESIGN EARTH casts ten World Heritage sites as narrative figures to visualize pervasive climate risks and narrate entangled inheritances to bequeath other worlds and values. \nRania Ghosn is Associate Professor of architecture and urbanism at MIT and founding partner of DESIGN EARTH. She is author of Geographies of Trash (2015)\, Geostories: Another Architecture for the Environment (3rd ed. 2022; 2018)\, and The Planet After Geoengineering (2021). Ghosn holds a Doctor of Design from Harvard GSD\, where she was founding editor of the journal New Geographies and editor of its issue Landscapes of Energy (2009). \nSylvia Lavin is a Professor of History and Theory of Architecture at Princeton University. Her work explores the limits of architecture across a wide spectrum of historical periods. Her publications include Form Follows Libido: Architecture and Richard Neutra in a Psychoanalytic Culture\, Everything Loose Will Land: 1970s Art and Architecture in Los Angeles and Architecture Itself and Other Postmodernist Myths. She is currently working on a new book\, Building Sylvan Media. \nA discount code is provided to each attendee of the event.

SUMMARY:Writing Seminar: Where is Princeton?
DESCRIPTION:Join Robert Sullivan to map our situation\, considering ecological\, political\, and economic ecologies\, and investigate our position on the cusp of two major estuaries — the Hudson / Raritan and the Delaware — exploring the differences between the city to the north and the city to the south\, looking at how these things connect and / or disconnect the region as a whole. \nRobert Sullivan is a Short-Term Whitney J. Oates Fellow in the Humanities Council and the Department of English in the fall of 2023\, and the author of numerous books\, including Rats\, The Meadowlands\, A Whale Hunt\, The Thoreau You Don’t Know and My American Revolution. His writing has appeared in The New Yorker\, The New York Times\, A Public Space and Vogue. He is the recipient of a 2022 Guggenheim Fellowship and teaches creative writing at Middlebury College’s Bread Loaf School of English. In April\, FSG will publish his latest book\, Double Exposure: Resurveying the West with Timothy O’Sullivan\, America’s Most Mysterious War Photographer. \nImage credit: Geological Survey of New Jersey [Detail].

SUMMARY:Vathy Astypalaia: Recent Data from a Diachronic Palimpsest of the Aegean
DESCRIPTION:The site of Vathy on the island of Astypalaia\, Greece\, was strategically located along several maritime routes linking the prehistoric societies of the Aegean Sea. Recent excavations at Vathy have brought to light a site of major importance for our knowledge of Mediterranean cultures in the 4th- and 3rd-millennia BCE across a vast area\, from Anatolia to Iberia. The megalithic walls of the settlement are densely engraved with petroglyphs that point to a Mediterranean artistic “koine\,”a common visual language expressed in rock art. Moreover\, coastal enclosures served to contain carefully arranged infant pot burials that are paralleled by similar ritual depositions in Anatolia\, the Balkans and the Aegean. Finally\, marble figurines found at the site connect Late Neolithic and Early Cycladic Aegean statuary with material from Anatolia and the Aegean islands and the broader Mediterranean world. In this lecture\, recent finds from the excavations at Vathy will be discussed and will be placed in their Aegean context.
