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.

SUMMARY:McGraw Center Faculty Discussion: Mentoring Supports for Faculty: An Info Gathering Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:A major component of many careers – both within and beyond the academy – is mentoring trainees\, yet graduate students\, postdocs\, and even faculty often don’t have formal opportunities to develop mentoring expertise. Since mentoring profoundly affects the well-being of individuals and teams\, as well as scholarly productivity and success\, we invite you to join us at McGraw to explore how we might support you and your colleagues in developing effective\, ethical\, and evidence-based mentoring practices that benefit you and your mentees.

SUMMARY:LLL Presents - "48 Clues into the Disappearance of My Sister & Zero-Sum: Stories"
DESCRIPTION:The inimitable Joyce Carol Oates has published  both another masterful mystery and a collection of linked stories. Join us for a reading and a discussion between the author and fellow writer and colleague A.M. 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.

SUMMARY:Qohelet: Searching for a Life Worth Living
DESCRIPTION:Join the Program in Judaic Studies on Monday\, October 9\, to learn about a striking new exploration of Qohelet. \nIn Qohelet: Searching for a Life Worth Living\, philosopher Menachem Fisch and artist Debra Band together probe the biblical thinker’s inquiry into the value of life “under the sun” in this first illuminated manuscript of this text and first philosophical analysis tracing the coherent path of Qohelet’s full argument. Fisch uncovers Qohelet’s twin concerns: life is short\, and situated as we are far below the heavens\, we can never be assured of comprehending our world\, nor understanding divine will and intent. In her 60 immersive and discursive illuminated paintings of the entire text\, each accompanied by explanatory commentary\, Band incorporates Fisch’s understanding of the text\, employing the grandest of palaces\, the Alhambra\, as a central metaphor for the beauty and impermanence of human life and accomplishments. She fills its halls with often surprising imagery\, symbolism and related poetry creating a visual midrash that relates Qohelet not only to biblical text and Jewish lore but also reveals its reverberations across Western civilization. \nAll are welcome to attend\, but space is limited – please RSVP to judaic@princeton.edu. Light refreshments will be available.

SUMMARY:Mining a Toxic Quarry: Louise Dupin’s Construction of the Work on Women
DESCRIPTION:Louise Dupin’s Work on Women is the French Enlightenment’s most in-depth feminist analysis of inequality–and its most neglected one. Angela Hunter and Rebecca Wilkin have just published the first English edition of Dupin’s massive project\, developed from manuscript drafts. Dupin’s central claim is that “masculine vanity” aggrandizes men\, diminishes women\, and distorts all realms of knowledge–science\, history\, philosophy\, law–as well as lived experience. In this presentation\, Hunter and Wilkin focus on Dupin’s use of sources\, from scientific journals to compilations of travel narratives and collections of law cases. Characterized by astounding breadth\, the Work on Women is both a critique of the sexist foundations of knowledge\, in which discourses produce the effects they pretend to document\, and a new type of feminist construction.\nCo-sponsored by the Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies

SUMMARY:Mytelka Memorial Seminar – The Jewish Bookshelf in Medieval Cairo: Book Lists from the Cairo Genizah
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Judaic Studies proudly welcomes this year’s Mytelka Scholar\, Ronny Vollandt\, and begins his visit to Princeton with this seminar on Tuesday\, October 10. \nMedieval book lists from the Cairo Genizah preserve important evidence on the availability and circulation of Jewish books in the medieval Near East. They also provide information on\, possibly otherwise lost\, works or authors. However\, book lists often contain a rudimentary description of the physical appearance of a book and its codicological composition\, specifying the book type (codex\, daftar\, scroll\, rotulus)\, formats\, quire structure\, binding\, or absence of thereof. This seminar will provide a survey of aspects relevant to medieval Jewish book history and the terminology used to describe these. \nAll University faculty\, researchers\, staff\, and students are welcome to attend\, but space is limited – please RSVP to judaic@princeton.edu. Refreshments will be available.

SUMMARY:“Architecture's Theory”
DESCRIPTION:Graduate Program in Media + Modernity | Princeton University \nCatherine Ingraham\n“Architecture’s Theory”\n[Response: Spyros Papapetros]\nTuesday\, October 10\, 2023 @5pm ET\nN107 (School of Architecture) \nThis event is about a book Catherine Ingraham currently published entitled Architecture’s Theory. As one reviewer\, Marko Ristic\, noted\, “…the title cannot be considered general. The author’s decision not to use the common term ‘architectural theory\,’ but architecture’s instead\, is a subtle intervention that epitomizes a specific relationship of architecture to theory questioned throughout the book. This relationship…introduces the idea of theory that is ‘architecture’s own.’ ” While the matter of architecture’s “theoretical attitude” and its ordering of what is imported from outside its domain are important parts of the book’s inquiries\, such questions always require contextualization and argumentation. This event\, hopefully\, will allow for both of these requirements. \nCatherine Ingraham is a tenured Professor in the Graduate Program of Architecture at Pratt Institute\, a program she started and Chaired 2001-2005. She has been a periodic visiting professor at the GSD\, Harvard University and the GSAPP\, Columbia University. Publications include Architecture’s Theory (MIT Press 2023)\, Architecture\, Animal\, Human (Routledge 2006)\, Architecture and The Burdens of Linearity (Yale University Press1998)\, plus numerous articles and invited essays. Ingraham was a co-editor\, with Michael Hays and Alicia Kennedy\, of the critical journal Assemblage 1991-1998 and has lectured at conferences and universities worldwide. She has received grants and fellowships from The Institute for Architecture and Urbanism in Chicago\, The CCA in Montreal\, the MacDowell colony\, NEA and the Graham Foundation. Catherine received her doctoral degree from Johns Hopkins University. \nSpyros Papapetros is an Associate Professor at Princeton’s School of Architecture. Forthcoming book publications include Pre/Architecture (Critical Spatial Practice series edited by Nikolaus Hirsch/Sternberg-MIT Press\, 2024) and Frederick Kiesler’s Magic Architecture: The Story of Human Housing (The MIT Press\, 2024). \nPlease visit M+M’s official website for details and current information. \nM+M strives to make everyone feel welcome.

SUMMARY:LLL Presents Boo Trundle & Christie Henry - "The Daughter Ship: A Novel"
DESCRIPTION:Boo Trundle’s irreverent debut delivers a headlong human comedy of trauma and triumph\, narrated by the concealed inner selves of a woman on the brink. Princeton University Press’s Director\, Christie Henry\, will join the author in conversation. \nKatherine is a lost creative soul and suburban mother of two\, who has struggled into her forties with the urge to self-harm. She is comfortably married\, and longs to overcome her dark thoughts and intermittent fears of sexual intimacy. This brisk\, mesmerizing version of her life is told in alternating short chapters by Truitt\, Star\, and Smooshed Bug—her inner children\, each with their particular strategy for coping with Katherine’s past at the hands of a hopeless mother and a terrifying\, seductive father. Several of her female ancestors\, Confederate widows and their daughters\, who’ve imposed a legacy of racism and damage on her bloodline\, also join the telling. \nThis unforgettable chorus of selves\, battling over Katherine’s wellbeing\, is unified by their hope for her future\, as they collaborate to shape a personal narrative like no other we’ve experienced in fiction. \nBoo Trundle is a writer\, artist\, and performer whose work has appeared across various platforms and publications\, including The Brooklyn Rail\, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency\, and NPR’s The Moth. She has released three albums of original music with Big Deal Records. Christie Henry is the visionary Director of Princeton University Press.

SUMMARY:Mytelka Memorial Lecture – The Yiddish of the Islamic World? When did Jews adopt Arabic and how did this change Jewish Literature?
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Judaic Studies’ hosting of this year’s Mytelka Scholar\, Ronny Vollandt\, continues with this lecture on Wednesday\, October 11. \nAbstract\nMost of the Jews under Muslim rule in pre-modern times spoke and wrote Arabic. Jews gradually adopted Arabic for most forms of spoken and written communication and produced a vast branch of Jewish literature in Arabic\, usually written in Hebrew letters. My lecture will examine how the transition from Hebrew and Aramaic to Arabic related to new ways of organizing knowledge in post-rabbinic Jewish literature\, in which disciplines were subdivided and novel concepts of authorship were introduced through new textual practices. These changes had begun in the 9th century but developed mainly over the course of the 10th and the 11th centuries and have affected Jewish literature ever since. \nOpen to the public. Reception to follow. \nMore about Ronny Vollandt \nRonny Vollandt\, Ph.D. (2011\, University of Cambridge)\, is a Professor of Judaic Studies at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität\, Munich. He teaches Rabbinics and Jewish intellectual heritage in the Near East. His research usually relies on manuscripts. That’s where\, in his opinion\, the fun begins. \nHe is also the director on the Munich Research Centre of Jewish-Arabic Cultures\, which carries out several research projects in the field of Jewish Literature in Arabic.

SUMMARY:LLL Presents - "Necessary Trouble: Growing up at Mid-Century"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation between two presidents emerita of Harvard and Princeton respectively about Drew Gilpin’s new memoir of coming of age in a conservative Southern family in postwar America. \nTo grow up in the 1950s was to enter a world of polarized national alliances\, nuclear threat\, and destabilized social hierarchies. Two world wars and the depression that connected them had unleashed a torrent of expectations and dissatisfactions—not only in global affairs but in American society and Americans’ lives. \nA privileged white girl in conservative\, segregated Virginia was expected to adopt a willful blindness to the inequities of race and the constraints of gender. For Drew Gilpin\, the acceptance of both female subordination and racial hierarchy proved intolerable and galvanizing. Urged to become “well adjusted” and to fill the role of a poised young lady that her upbringing imposed\, she found resistance was necessary for her survival. During the 1960s\, through her love of learning and her active engagement in the civil rights\, student\, and antiwar movements\, Drew forged a path of her own—one that would eventually lead her to become a historian of the very conflicts that were instrumental in shaping the world she grew up in. \nCulminating in the upheavals of 1968\, Necessary Trouble captures a time of rapid change and fierce reaction in one young woman’s life\, tracing the transformations and aftershocks that we continue to grapple with today. \nDrew Gilpin Faust is University Professor of History at Harvard University. She was Dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study from 2001 to 2007 and served as Harvard’s president from 2007 to 2018. Faust is the author of several books\, including This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War\, winner of the Bancroft Prize and a finalist for the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize; and Mothers of Invention: Women of the Slaveholding South in the American Civil War. Shirley Tilghman served as President of Princeton University from 2001-2013 and is Professor of Molecular Biology and Public Affairs at Princeton. In 2002\, Discover Magazine recognized her as one of the 50 most important women in science. \nCo-presented by Labyrinth Books and the Princeton Public Library and co-sponsored by Princeton University’s Humanities Council\, Gender and Sexuality Studies\, History \, and African American Studies Departments\, and by SPIA in NJ.

SUMMARY:Splendors and Miseries of Lies. Autofiction\, Exofiction\, Ego Histoire\, and the Question of Truth
DESCRIPTION:After post-structuralism enjoined us to forget the notion of truth\, the 21st century is reactivating it in the face of the generalization of lies. Today’s era of post-truth\, characterized by fake news\, alternative facts\, the fading of evidence\, and the supremacy of narratives\, makes it necessary to rethink the criteria of truth. François Noudelmann will draw on famous works of contemporary literature\, historiography\, and his practice to analyze such issues.

SUMMARY:McGraw Center Faculty Workshop: AI and Our Classrooms
DESCRIPTION:This series of workshops will provide faculty the opportunity to do some guided\, hands-on experimentation with generative AI tools\, to reflect in community on the experience\, and to discuss the tools’ potential impact on our teaching. \nAttendees are encouraged to bring their laptop for use during the session. \nGithub Copilot helps novice programmers to quickly generate powerful code snippets to work with data of various kinds. Questions we will consider include: How can we be transparent about code written with AI? Can AI-generated code demonstrate a user’s comprehension of the logic that structures a programming language? Can code generators assist non-programmers in producing coursework on par with their peers who have programming experience?

SUMMARY:The First Kings of Europe: An International Exhibition about the Prehistoric Balkans
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: The modern world is plagued with unprecedented levels of social\, economic\, and political inequalities. But these inequities did not happen overnight; in places like southeastern Europe they emerged over the course of thousands of years as the small egalitarian farming villages of the Neolithic gave way to some of the earliest hierarchical kingdoms in the Iron Age. This is the story that is told in the First Kings of Europe exhibition\, an ambitious international collaboration between twenty-six museums in eleven countries in southeastern Europe. The exhibition\, organized by the Field Museum of Natural History\, is currently on display in Chicago before it travels to Ottawa\, Canada\, in early 2024. In this presentation\, Bill Parkinson gives an overview of the exhibition he co-curates with his colleagues\, Attila Gyucha\, and discusses the challenges they faced during the process of putting it together over the last eight years.
