SUMMARY:Maritime Buddhist Art of the East Asian “Mediterranean\,” ca. 900–1200
DESCRIPTION:How did maritime connectivity reconfigure the cultural boundaries of Buddhist East Asia during the medieval period? What is the role of seafaring ports in object mobility and in forming a Buddhist art different from that derived from the land routes of transmission? This lecture examines how the interwoven networks of ports and intermediaries facilitated the production and circulation of Buddhist artisanal crafts across the China Seas around the 10th to the 13th centuries. It will show that an ever-increasing need to guide and protect ships at sea gave rise to new forms of art\, while also endowing existing forms and symbols with new meanings. Moreover\, the particulars of boats and ships dictated the sizes\, scale\, as well as the types of art and artifacts transportated across the sea. Going beyond territorial boundaries\, this “maritime Buddhist art” show features that refute the center-periphery model often applied to the history of East Asian Buddhist art.

SUMMARY:Leaping Clear of the Many and the One
DESCRIPTION:The apparent duality of “the universal” and “the particular” arises from what a Buddhist might call “primal confusion”: the sensory-cognitive delusion that phenomena exist as distinct\, individual entities whose existence is separate from everything and everyone else. Like many confusions and delusions\, this one often encodes real power and creates real-world conflict. And yet\, there are moments—listening to music\, reading a novel\, looking at a painting\, sitting zazen—when we glimpse the illusory nature of this separation\, and the trappings of self drop away. In his famous fascicle\, “Genjo Koan\,” the 13th-century Zen master Dogen Zenji points at this truth of anattā (no-self\, non-self)\, when he wrote\, “The Way is in essence leaping clear of the many and the one.” Art allows us to make this leap\, too\, and indeed relies upon our leaping for its existence. Drawing on her most recent novel\, The Book of Form and Emptiness\, Ozeki will explore ideas\, states of mind\, and ways of being that can cut through these illusory distinctions and put us back together.

SUMMARY:PLAS Graduate Workshop | Alex Diaz-Hui & Julia Kornberg
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTER: Alex Diaz-Hui\, Ph.D. candidate\, Department of English \n“Anticolonial Ensembles in the Américas: Collective Voice and Authorship in the Late Twentieth-Century” \nAnticolonial Ensembles in the Américas: Collective Voice and Authorship in the Late-Twentieth Century asks how Hispanophone Caribbean poets and performers think of their work not as individual acts\, but rather wider collectives and networks throughout the Caribbean\, the Américas\, and West Africa. I examine different venues for performance\, including poetry open mics\, theatrical spaces\, and nightclubs to underscore how the Hispanophone Caribbean and its diaspora think of their works as produced in ensembles. By analyzing ephemera\, music recordings\, and audiovisual material\, I bring to light various elements of cohabitation in performance that considers how ensembles can create new configurations of authorship in the American and Caribbean literary canon. \nAlex Diaz-Hui is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of English and Program in Latin American Studies at Princeton. He is originally from the Pacific Northwest\, where he received his BA (summa cum laude) from Portland State University and his MA from Oregon State University. Alex writes on Caribbean poetics and music\, sound studies\, ethnomusicology\, and music technology. Alex is also a multi-instrumentalist\, producer\, and noise artist who works in a variety of musical genres. \nDISCUSSANT: Lilianne Lugo Herrera (Ph.D.\, University of Miami) Theatre Arts; PLAS Postdoctoral Research Associate and Lecturer \n_______________________________________ \nPRESENTER: Julia Kornberg\, Ph.D. candidate\, Department of Spanish and Portuguese \n“Translation is a virus: exophony and exile in Copi’s life and work” \nTranslation is a virus: exophony and exile in Copi’s life and work analyzes the fundamental figure of translation as a central category to understand Copi (née Raúl Damonte Taborda)\, his work in theater and literature\, and the subversive usage of the French language in his narratives about exiled Argentines and Uruguayans in Paris. Through an analysis of La Internacional Argentina and La ciudad de las ratas\, and an extensive look into the archival sources of Copi’s work found at the IMEC institute in France\, my work proposes that the figure of translation works as a viral pathology in Copi’s work\, inundating everything – from the conception of the manuscripts to the narrative structures and the world that his characters inhabit – and becoming a key category to understand his work. By drawing from the notions of translation developed by Walter Benjamin\, Jorge Luis Borges and Lawrence Venuti\, I propose that the figure of translation has\, then\, the capacity of crystallizing and disentangling the inter-lingual space of Copi’s work\, which takes place between Spanish and French\, as well as the glotopolitically subversive character of his novels. \nJulia Kornberg is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and IHUM. Her dissertation looks into the relationship of Latin American writers to translation during the Cold War\, following four cases in Argentina\, Cuba and Brazil. In 2021\, she published her first novel Atomizado Berlín with Club Hem in Argentina and Scaraboquio in Mexico. Her second novel\, Las Fiestas\, is forthcoming with Editorial Sigilo. She has contributed with literary criticism to magazines such as The Drift\, Bookforum\, The Baffler\, The Believer\, Astra Magazine and The Los Angeles Review of Books. \nDISCUSSANT: Neil Blackadder\, Translator in Residence\, Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication (PTIC) \nMODERATOR: Pablo Pryluka\, Ph.D. candidate\, Department of History \nOpen to students\, faculty\, visiting scholars and staff . A boxed lunch will be provided while supplies last.

SUMMARY:Debt Working Group | Colonial Debts: The Case of Puerto Rico
DESCRIPTION:With the largest municipal debt in US history and a major hurricane that destroyed much of the archipelago’s infrastructure\, Puerto Rico has emerged as a key site for the exploration of neoliberalism and disaster capitalism. In Colonial Debts Rocío Zambrana develops the concept of neoliberal coloniality in light of Puerto Rico’s debt crisis. Drawing on decolonial thought and praxis\, Zambrana shows how debt functions as an apparatus of predation that transforms how neoliberalism operates. Debt functions as a form of coloniality\, intensifying race\, gender\, and class hierarchies in ways that strengthen the colonial relationship between Puerto Rico and the United States. Zambrana also examines the transformation of protest in Puerto Rico. From La Colectiva Feminista en Construcción’s actions\, long-standing land rescue/occupation in the territory\, to the July 2019 protests that ousted former governor Ricardo “Ricky” Rosselló\, protests pursue variations of decolonial praxis that subvert the positions of power that debt installs. As Zambrana demonstrates\, debt reinstalls the colonial condition and adapts the racial/gender order essential to it\, thereby emerging as a key site for political-economic subversion and social rearticulation. \n\nThe Debt Working Group brings together faculty\, graduate students\, and staff who are interested in studying debt from an interdisciplinary perspective. The group addresses issues such as the history and legitimacy of sovereign debt; the (un)sustainability and fairness of consumer debt; the logics of colonial and ecological debts; the affective valences of debt as they appear in debates about reparations/repair; debt as a language of morality and as a narratological device; the plural temporalities and spaces of debt; and debt as a tool of governance and subjectivation. \nFor more information and readings\, please contact organizers Nicolás Sánchez-Rodríguez (Society of Fellows\, Spanish and Portuguese) at nico.sanchez@princeton.edu\, JahAsia Jacobs (Anthropology) at jfjacobs@princeton.edu\, or Alberto E. Morales (Program in Latin American Studies\, Anthropology) at alberto.morales@princeton.edu.

SUMMARY:Inside the Mind of the Influencing Machine: Set Design in the Age of Cold War Television
DESCRIPTION:Join the Committee for Film Studies for the third and final lecture in our spring 2023 series that brings prominent film scholars into conversation with members of the Princeton community. This event features Weihong Bao\, Associate Professor of Film and Media at the University of California-Berkeley. \nTalk title\n“Inside the Mind of the Influencing Machine: Set Design in the Age of Cold War Television” \nAbstract\nThis talks considers “influence” as an atmospheric notion of media that binds mind and society at the onset of the cold war and rise of television. Influence\, in this context\, does not entail a one-way traffic but a structure of interdependence\, relying on a new notion of set design that orchestrates a system of responses and reactions that produces resonances and dissonances\, signal and noise. Situated at the early era of the People’s Republic (1949-) in the decade between the ideological campaign of Thought Reform (1951-1952) and Great Leap Forward (1958-1962) movement\, I examine how the “cool media” of television (McLuhan) reconfigures set design through a new set of technological and human assembly. With this framework\, I return to the site of television production\, not as the origin of signal dissemination\, but the node where issues of transmission\, amplification\, and reception informs and shapes the very production process. This understanding of television as wireless and human infrastructure reveals how the celebrated liveness and immediacy of television involved intricate task of coordination and synchronization\, putting a new demand on human attention and labor with implications on acting\, directing\, and editing. Probing the influencing machinery and aesthetics of television in connection with other media\, my talk highlights the tension intrinsic to influence caught between a climatic regime of power and aesthetic operations of resonances\, between spatial-temporal axes of enclosure and porosity\, stasis and motion. \nWeihong Bao is Associate Professor of Film and Media at UC-Berkeley. She is the author of Fiery Films: The Emergence of an Affective Medium in China\, 1915-1945 (University of Minnesota Press\, 2015)\, honored by the Modernist Studies Association Best Book Prize in 2016. She has co-edited two special issues Media/Climates (Representations 2022) and Medium/Environment (Critical Inquiry 2023). She is currently completing a book\, “Background Matters: Set Design and The Art of Environment.” The book examines the co-emergence of environmental thinking and set design from early to mid-twentieth century China\, across film\, theater\, architecture\, and television. She is the editor-in-chief for The Journal of Chinese Cinemas and co-edits the “film theory in media history” book series published by Amsterdam University Press. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nThe spring 2023 lecture series is sponsored by the Humanities Council’s Committee for Film Studies. \nPlease email program manager Margo Bresnen at mbresnen@princeton.edu with any questions.

SUMMARY:Las desmayadas. Un recorrido entre el desmayo y la voz de las mujeres
DESCRIPTION:Una adolescente se desmaya como una forma súbita de interrumpir el mundo. Muere su padre\, su madre vive astillada por el duelo\, y mientras la muerte cruza el jardín de su casa como un relámpago\, también se despliega su enérgico viaje de iniciación por el sexo\, la hermandad y los afectos nuevos\, en una Buenos Aires pesadillesca de los primeros años 80. Esta fábula autobiográfica narra las aventuras radiantes de tres hermanas que\, cada tanto\, para seguir viviendo\, se desmayan\, como si se tratara de un arte y de una poética. ¿Es el desmayo algo que solo le sucede a las mujeres? Al calor de la militancia feminista escribí esta Fabula Autobiográfica\, sobre la vida con mis hermanas y madre en medio de la guerra de Malvinas y los abortos ilegales. Lo personal es político\, me acompañaba desde hacía años en mi practica feminista como curadora y gestora en ciclos literarios que pergeñé con énfasis en lo afectivo y en la generación de comunidad entre lxs escritorxs\, un poco aislados entre sí y también de otrxs artistxs. Confesionario\, Historia de mi vida privada\, fue uno de los más destacados y la consigna Primera persona- Verdadero – Confesional en lecturas públicas\, pregnó y se viralizó como ya lo había hecho mi ciclo anterior Lecturas + Música. La Marea verde fue el tiempo y el espacio\, Ahora es cuando\, de redoblar la apuesta de esas dos décadas de experiencia en la Escritura del Yo y en las lecturas públicas. Cada semana durante todo el 2018 frente al Congreso Nacional apliqué toda la practica adquirida y lideré la convocatoria de escritoras a leer sus historias de vida Feminismo: autobiografías interconectadas\, dijo Judith Butler. Y así resultó. Mis libros\, mi gestión cultural y mis ideas de derechos y feminismo se unieron como nunca antes. \nCecilia Szperling es escritora\, periodista y activista. Nació y vive en la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Sus obras narrativas han recibido premios y fueron publicadas en Argentina y Europa. Sus obras narrativas han recibido premios y fueron publicadas en Argentina y Europa. Creó ciclos literarios\, programas de radio y tv\, escribió guiones para documentales\, artículos para medios gráficos masivos y ha curado fanzines boutique. Se especializa en escritura autobiográfica\, dicta talleres en el Centro Cultural Rector Ricardo Rojas de la Universidad de Buenos Aires\, en la Universidad Torcuato Di Tella y en London Spanish Book & Zine Fair\, además de charlas en la Universidad de Amsterdam\, Pittsburgh\, Goethe\, entre otras. Publicó la antología Confesionario 1 y 2 (editorial Eudeba)\, El futuro de los artistas (Ediciones De la Flor\, Premio Antorchas) Seleccion Natural (Adriana Hidalgo Editora\, Finalista del Premio Clarín\, traducida al inglés y publicada en UK)\, El año de la militancia verde (MIráComoNosLeemos Indie Libros) y La máquina de proyectar sueños (editorial Interzona\, Paripé Books España) Las Desmayadas (Emecé Editores Planeta). \nCOMENTARISTA: Gabriela Nouzeilles\, PLAS and Spanish and Portuguese\, Princeton University \nThis event will be held in Spanish. \nOpen to students\, faculty\, visiting scholars\, staff and specially invited guests. \nA boxed lunch will be provided while supplies last.

SUMMARY:"The Geometries of Afro Asia”
DESCRIPTION:Joan Kee\n” The Geometries of Afro Asia”\n[Response: Irene V. Small]\nTuesday\, April 25\, 2023 @5pm ET\nN107 (School of Architecture) \nHow do we embark on a history of art from the assumption of a global majority\, outside of essentializing categories like race or hollow proclamations of solidarity? With this book\, Joan Kee presents a framework for understanding the rich and surprisingly understudied relationship between Black and Asian artists and the worlds they initiate through their work. \nThe Geometries of Afro Asia breaks down this relationship and chronology into points\, angles\, and trajectories. Spanning North America\, Europe\, Asia\, and Africa\, Kee looks at the relationships that formed between Black and Asian artists at critical historical junctures—from civil rights struggles in the United States and the development of South Korea amid US military occupation in the 1960s and 1970s to debates over multiculturalism and critiques of globalization in the 1990s and 2010s. Through geometry\, a language of magnitudes and alignments\, Kee opens up new ways of seeing how artworks shape our lives and politics by getting us to commit some of our most valuable resources—time and attention—to one another. \nJoan Kee is Professor in the History of Art at the University of Michigan and a Ford Foundation Scholar in Residence at MoMA. A contributing editor at Artforum\, Kee’s books include Cotnemporary Korean Art: Tansaekhwa and the Urgency of Method (2013)\, Models of Integrity: Art and Law in Post Sixties America (2019) and The Geometries of Afro Asia: Art Beyond Solidarity (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: Towards a Topology of Modernism\, is forthcoming from Zone Books in 2024. She is currently Acting Co-Director of the Program in Media & Modernity.

SUMMARY:"Toni Morrison: Sites of Memory": The Making of an Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In 2016\, Princeton University announced the opening of the Toni Morrison Papers. Comprised of manuscript drafts\, editorial notes\, correspondence\, speeches\, photographs\, and research material\, the collection registers the importance of the archive within Morrison’s decades-long career. In her writing practice\, she gathered archival objects like popular photographs\, advertisements\, newspaper clippings\, and historical documents as source material for her novels\, essays\, and speeches. These were the sites from which she began to “reconstruct the worlds” that her characters dwelled in\, worlds that the dominant historical record had neglected or obscured. In this archive we can glimpse her own writing practice\, professional interests\, and changing creative investments. In its breadth\, the collection invites us to consider how history\, memory\, and the literary imagination relate to one another anew. \nTaking inspiration from her 1986 essay “The Site of Memory\,” this exhibition brings together select objects from the Toni Morrison Papers—materials that illuminate how her creative process was a deeply archival one\, and that reveal aspects of her writing life and practice. Members of the curatorial team will give a behind the scenes look at the research and work that went into making this special exhibition.

SUMMARY:Georgian Literature Against the Red Terror
DESCRIPTION:The beginning of 20th century was marked by the fatal clash of Modernistic tendencies\, already established in Georgian literature\, with newly born Soviet ideology. The Bolshevik Revolution\, which reached Georgia in 1921\, put an end to the three-year independence of the Republic of Georgia (1918-1921) as the country was forcedly reunited with the Soviet Union. \nIf we bear in mind the inherent aspiration of literature to intellectual and representative freedom\, we may form a clear idea of the contradiction that arises in conditions of a totalitarian regime between the artistic text and the actual context. This lecture will begin to explore these issues\, the literary artists caught up in them\, as well as some of their longer-term effects. \n

SUMMARY:"Manuscripts at the Foundations of Modern Law: Multispectral Imaging\, Artificial Intelligence and the Recovery of Gaius’s Institutes and the oldest Koran"
DESCRIPTION:The modern legal system rests on several pillars of legal thought. Gaius’s Institutes\, the only surviving record of Roman law\, is taught at universities across the world. Unfortunately\, the only manuscript of it is a severely damaged palimpsest. In the Islamic tradition\, the Quran serves as the legal template. The oldest Quran\, however\, has scratch-outs and changes in key passages whose undertext\, recoverable with technology\, holds the potential to upend historical precedent. With detailed new images\, this lecture\, considers the history and future of both manuscripts. It concludes with a discussion of the role of AI in textual recovery. \nCo-sponsored by the Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies

SUMMARY:"Our Muses Are Our Ancestors": Contemporary Indigenous Writers of North America and Greco-Roman Antiquity.
DESCRIPTION:In a little known history\, generations of Indigenous writers of North America have engaged in a variety of ways with Greco-Roman antiquity\, sometimes to make comparisons with their own ancient and still-living cultures\, sometimes in order to talk back to narratives of Native barbarism or savagery\, and cumulatively and collectively contributing to Indigenous survivance. My lecture\, whose title quotes the words of Mohawk essayist and poet Beth Brant\, presents a selection of contemporary Native voices. In a coda\, I briefly discuss some Native American students at 18th- and 19th-century Princeton\, focusing on their encounters with Greece and Rome in the context of a Euro-American education. \nTo attend virtually click here for the Zoom registration link \nCo-sponsored by the Native American and Indigenous Studies Initiative at Princeton \n
