SUMMARY:Embodied Minds in the Late Capitalist System: Suicide and Environmental Degradation in Africa
DESCRIPTION:This talk limns the landscape of suicide in Africa\, but also here in the US\, as a means to contemplate the deadly and I believe escalating psychic toll of our environmental predicament. It asks how climate change — a welter of incremental\, corrosive shifts layered with sudden catastrophic events generated and perpetuated through industrial systems of profit can get under the skin and into the human psyche.

SUMMARY:Structuring Itelmen Word Order
DESCRIPTION:Word order in Itelmen (itl\, Chukotko-Kamchatkan) is quite flexible and has not been previously studied in any depth. This talk draws on a small text corpus to investigate the role of Information Structure in conditioning the distribution of object-verb and verb-object (OV\,VO) word orders. Although speakers in elicitation contexts generally assent to both orders and describe them as meaning the same\, a robust pattern emerges in the corpus: O denoting new discourse entities are overwhelmingly preverbal\, while given objects may occur pre- or post-verbally. In this talk\, I argue that these results have a variety of implications: (i) the observed pattern converges with other evidence that Itelmen is an OV language and provides an argument that the VO order in Itelmen is not simply a calque from Russian\, (ii) the Information-Structural evidence provides a means to resolve a syntactic puzzle about the analysis of perception verb complements in Itelmen\, (iii) the pattern contributes to larger debates about the syntactic/grammatical representation of new versus given (or topic and focus)\, potentially arguing against “focus-movement” (cartographic) perspectives\, and (iv) Information Structure provides a better characterization of the OV/VO alternations than competing accounts of such alternations that appeal to extra-grammatical communicative efficiency\, notably those rooted in ambiguity avoidance with animate objects. \n  \nJonathan David Bobaljik (B.A. McGill\, Ph.D. MIT) is Professor of Linguistics at Harvard University. He previously held faculty positions at McGill University and the University of Connecticut. He has worked with speakers of the Itelmen language in Kamchatka since 1993. His recent publications include Universals in Comparative Morphology  (MIT Press 2012) and Bogoras’s 1901 Itelmen Notebooks (Kulturstiftung Sibirien 2023\, with M. Pupynina and A. Syuryun).

SUMMARY:Mellon Forum: 'Faith Shines Equal' / Airport Sublime
DESCRIPTION:The major 1950’s expansion of New York International Airport (JFK) by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey included space for free-standing Catholic\, Protestant\, and Jewish chapels. The Tri-Faith Chapel Plaza the first of its kind and the origin of the now ubiquitous airport prayer rooms\, was publicly feted as a project of American religious cooperation and religious freedom. But in truth it was in a top-down initiative of the secular planners and architects that confounded the plaza’s religious partners. This less familiar and more surprising history invites several distinctive and important ways to understand the challenges of placing religion in modern America. While the tri-faith chapel’s creation calls new attention to the exclusionary principles at work in modern conceptions American religious pluralism\, I argue that viewing the plaza as a component of the larger airport plan allows us to also catch a glimpse of a longstanding modernist desire to build an American landscape that would support a spiritual citizenry released from “architectural” religion altogether. \nThis is a hybrid event. Attend in person at the School of Architecture\, or register for the zoom webinar. \n\nThe Fall 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. \nMellon Forum events are free and open to the public. Boxed lunches are available while supplies last.

SUMMARY:The Future of Hong Kong: Is free speech dead?
DESCRIPTION:The widespread 2019 protests in Hong Kong\, and the imposition of a sweeping new National Security Law the following year\, irrevocably changed the fabric of this once open and free-wheeling society. Dozens of civil society groups\, labor unions and political parties disbanded\, news outlets were shuttered and dozens of activists were arrested or fled into exile overseas. But while Hong Kong has plummeted in global press freedom rankings\, journalists continue to do their jobs every day\, and the territory remains a regional hub for many foreign media organizations. How much space still exists for independent media in the new Hong Kong? And how are journalists learning to navigate this new normal? \nKeith Richburg\, Washington Post columnist. With discussant Stephen F. Teiser\, Suzuki Professor in Buddhist Studies and Professor of Religion. \nRegistration is now open; space is limited.

SUMMARY:Homer's Hippiad: From the First Deaths to the Last Word
DESCRIPTION:Mules are the first deaths in the timeline of the poem; the last word of the poem is ἱπποδάμοιο\, “breaker of horses.” In between\, horses (and mules) share with men the experiences of battle\, hard labor\, and athletic excellence\, and with women\, being judged by their beauty\, seized as spoils\, and offered as prizes. They have names and pedigrees. They may be free or enslaved. They may be mortal\, like most humans\, or immortal\, like gods and certain heroes. They may even have a share in that most human of behaviors\, speech. What can we learn about the human actors in the poem by observing their equine counterparts? \nSupport for this project is provided in part by Princeton’s Departments of Classics and Comparative Literature\, Humanities Council\, Lewis Center for the Arts\, Princeton University Public Lectures Committee\, Program in Humanistic Studies\, and the Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies

SUMMARY:"Birdcalls: A roundtable"
DESCRIPTION:For this work\, sometimes referred to as “Patriarchal Rollcall”\, Louise Lawler sounded out the familiar names of male artists dominating the art world in the 1970s using the chirps and peeps of birdcalls – activating the artistic tradition of mimesis but with a twist. ​The humor of the work is tinged with urgency as it attests to how the constant repetition of these names operates to block the voices of women artists\, artists of color and other underrepresented persons. Installing Birdcalls also calls attention to the importance of sound and animal studies to current discourses on aesthetics and hence to the environmental conditions undergirding the making and showing of art today. \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. \nThomas Y. Levin is an Associate Professor of German at Princeton University. He teaches media theory and history\, cultural theory\, intellectual history\, aesthetics\, and sound studies. His publications include The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility\, and Other Writings on Media\nand Rhetorics of Surveillance from Bentham to Big Brother \nMaria Hsiuya Loh is a Professor in the School of Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study. She is an expert in the field of early modern Italian art and theory. She is the author of Titian Remade: Repetition and the Transformation of Early Modern Italian Art\, Still Lives: Death\, Desire\, and the Portrait of the Old Master\, and Titian’s Touch: Art\, Magic & Philosophy. She is currently working on her new book: Liquid Sky: Visual Representations of the Early Modern Sky. \nGavin Steingo is a Professor of Music at Princeton University. His research examines sound and music as fundamental features in the construction of global modernity\, with research specializations in African music\, sound studies\, acoustic ecology\, and music and philosophy. He is the author of Interspecies Communication: Sound and Music Beyond Humanity\, and Kwaito’s Promise: Music and the Aesthetics of Freedom in South Africa. \nReception to follow the roundtable discussion. \nEvent co-organized by the School of Architecture\nand the Program in Media and Modernity.

SUMMARY:The 2023-24 Frederick W. Mote Memorial Lecture:  The Sacrificial Body of Moye: Affect and Materiality in the Forging of Wu-Yue Swords
DESCRIPTION:The story of the swordsmith couple Ganjiang 干將 and Moye 莫耶 from the late Warring States period (fifth-century BCE) is so enduring that school children in the Chinese-speaking world can still recite its plot: Charged by the king to cast the deadliest sword\, the couple became desperate when the metal would neither melt nor flow. They completed their task only when Moye leaped into the furnace and immolate herself. In this talk\, we revisit this classic lore of the sacrificial wife by putting three mediums into conversation: Material remains of swords from late-Warring States Wu-Yue tombs; the textual tradition of the lore from the first-century Wu Yue chunqiu 吳越春秋 to the modern writer Lu Xun’s short story Zhujian 鑄劍 (Meijian chi 眉間尺); and the animation work of Chinese-American artist Hong HUO 霍弘 featuring Moye as the protagonist\, Melt 鎔. In so doing\, we examine the gendered politics of Moye’s metamorphosis through the ages while taking stock of the power of emotions as an agent of historical change.

SUMMARY:Sovereignty through Praxis: Contemporary Quechua Weaving from Peru
DESCRIPTION:With their distinct markets\, institutions\, and specialists\, the realms of fine art and craft today largely exist as parallel\, specialized industries. When they do intersect\, practitioners and observers typically offer two syntheses: craft “rises” to the institutional and aesthetic condition of art or supplements its exclusivity as a model of unalienated production. Yet fine artists since the early modern period have\, at key moments\, called upon “craft\,” in its many valences\, to engage\, rather than negate\, the movements of history that conditioned their work. Focusing on such moments\, the participants in this series will assess the stakes and the meanings of art’s craft in settings ranging from the Italian Renaissance\, to eighteenth-century India\, to the contemporary Andes. \nOver six workshops scheduled throughout the 2023–24 academic year and taking place on Princeton’s campus\, Know How: Workshops on the Histories of Art and Craft aims to develop responses to the following questions: Under what social\, material\, and art-historical conditions does craft appear? How do the motivations and manifestations of such appearances compare across geographies and periods? As art historians\, what methods are at our disposal to follow artists and objects as they bridge the systems of value that separate their circulation?

SUMMARY:LLL Presents - "Journeys of the Mind: A Life in History"
DESCRIPTION:The eminent historian Peter Brown has a written personal account of the discovery of late antiquity. He is joined in conversation by fellow historian Jack Tannous. \nThe end of the ancient world was long regarded by historians as a time of decadence\, decline\, and fall. In his career-long engagement with this era\, the widely acclaimed and pathbreaking historian Peter Brown has shown\, however\, that the “neglected half-millennium” now known as late antiquity was in fact crucial to the development of modern Europe and the Middle East. In Journeys of the Mind\, Brown recounts his life and work\, describing his efforts to recapture the spirit of an age. As he and other scholars opened up the history of the classical world in its last centuries to the wider world of Eurasia and northern Africa\, they discovered previously overlooked areas of religious and cultural creativity as well as foundational institution-building. A respect for diversity and outreach to the non-European world\, relatively recent concerns in other fields\, have been a matter of course for decades among the leading scholars of late antiquity. \nPeter Brown is Professor Emeritus of History at Princeton University. He is the author of Through the Eye of a Needle: Wealth\, the Fall of Rome\, and the Making of Christianity in the West\, 350–550 AD; The Rise of Western Christendom: Triumph and Diversity\, A.D. 200–1000; The Ransom of the Soul: Afterlife and Wealth in Early Western Christianity; Treasure in Heaven: The Holy Poor in Early Christianity; and many other books. Jack Tannous is Professor of History and Hellenic Studies and Chair of the Center for the Study of Late Antiquity at Princeton University and the author of The Making of the Medieval Middle East: Religion\, Society\, and Simple Believers.

Homes. \nIn 48 Clues\, a young woman mysteriously vanishes from her family home\, and her sister must tally up the clues to discover her fate. \nAfter beautiful Marguerite suddenly vanishes from her small town in Upstate New York\, the causes of her disappearance are entirely unclear. Was foul play involved? Or did she merely take an opportunity to get away for fun\, or finally make the decision to leave behind her claustrophobic life of limited opportunities? \nIn Zero-Sum\, games are played for lethal stakes. A brilliant young philosophy student bent on seducing her famous philosopher-mentor finds herself outmaneuvered; diabolically clever high school girls wreak a particularly apt sort of vengeance on sexual predators in their community; a woman stalked by a would-be killer may be confiding in the wrong former lover; a young woman is morbidly obsessed by her unfamiliar new role as “mother.” In the collection’s longest story\, a much-praised cutting-edge writer cruelly experiments with “drafts” of his own suicide. Joyce Carol Oates has created a world of erotic obsession\, thwarted idealism\, and ever-shifting identities. \nJoyce Carol Oates is a recipient of the National Humanities Medal\, the National Book Critics Circle Lifetime Achievement Award\, and the National Book Award\, among many honors. She has written some of the most enduring fiction of our time\, including the national best sellers We Were the Mulvaneys; Blonde; and The Falls. Her most recent novel prior to 48 Clues  and Zero-Sum is Babysitter. She is Professor of the Humanities emerita at Princeton University and teaches at NYU. A.M. Homes is the author most recently of The Unfolding. Her other books include the best-selling memoir The Mistress’ Daughter; the novels This Book Will Save Your Life\, The End of Alice\, and Jack; and the short story collections Days of Awe\, The Safety of Objects and Things You Should Know. She also teaches creative writing at The Lewis Center for the Arts.

SUMMARY:Smells\, Sounds and Textures of Iberian Modernity: Spain's Perfumed Modernity
DESCRIPTION:Come join us on Friday\, October 6\, 3:30-5:00 PM in 103 Chancellor Green for the first invited guest lecture of the “Smells\, Sounds\, and Textures of Iberian Modernity” talk series\, entitled “Spain’s Perfumed Modernity.” Invited guest speaker Bob Davidson\, Professor of Spanish and Catalan Studies at the University of Toronto\, will take us on a sensory journey through the rise of Spain’s perfume industry from the 1910s to 2000\, discussing the role Perfumería Gal\, Myurgia\, and Puig played in the construction of Spanish olfactory modernity via product design\, advertising\, and the fragrances themselves. The talk will be sensorily interactive\, as audience members will be invited to test vintage perfumes like Maderas de Oriente\, Maja\, Agua Lavanda\, Agua Brava\, and Quorum while exploring themes of orientalism and Othering\, terroir\, the aspirational power of scent\, and\, ultimately\, the importance of smelling in the Humanities. \nDisclaimer: Because we will be smelling perfumes during the talk\, those with sensitivity to fragrances may wish not to attend. \nThis event has been made possible by the generous support of Spanish & Portuguese\, the Humanities Council\, the Center for Culture\, Society\, and Religion\, the Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in the Humanities\, Near Eastern Studies\, Art & Archaeology\, Music\, Comparative Literature\, Religion\, Anthropology\, and the Program in European Cultural Studies.
