SUMMARY:Archive Asylum: Archiving and Researching Endangered Literatures
DESCRIPTION:War and flight endanger the literature of affected countries. Authors struggle to survive. They are unable to write. They lose their libraries\, manuscripts\, pictures and other valuable objects. In response to these political and social challenges\, how can we build up an archive for asylum and offer these literatures the place they serve in research? How can an asylum archive preserve threatened memory? In this public lecture\, Professor Sandra Richter will draw upon her directorship at the Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach to address these urgent questions for the twenty–first century. \nRSVP required.

SUMMARY:Alice Hasters "Black Germans between Erasure and Tokenism"
DESCRIPTION:Journalist and author Alice Hasters is a major contemporary Black German voice. Her bestselling 2019 book Was weiße Menschen nicht über Rassismus hören wollen\, aber wissen sollten (What White People Don’t Want to Hear About Racism\, But Should Know Anyway) led to animated public debates about race and racism in Germany. In her lecture\, Hasters will address the central assumption that frames Black German life today: the perception that Black people are “new” to Germany. This assumption erases the fact that Black people have lived in German–speaking lands for hundreds of years. As she shows\, it also allows anti–Black racism and its history to be falsely viewed as only an American or Western problem with no relation to the German context. Examining the dynamics that unfold from this skewed understanding\, Hasters argues that attending to the history of anti–Black racism in Germany enables a deeper understanding of German identity\, racism\, and antisemitism today. \nRoyce Hall 236 \nRSVP Required

SUMMARY:"The Clinic of Silence" with Catherine Perret
DESCRIPTION:Catherine Perret is a French scholar\, philosopher\, art critic\, psychoanalyst\, and author. Please join us for Catherine Perret’s lecture on Fernand Deligny\, an educator and activist who invented a radically new approach to autism.  \n \nJoin Zoom Meeting:\nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/j/92946036075\nMeeting ID: 929 4603 6075 \nFrom the thirties to the sixties\, Fernand Deligny became famous in France as a libertarian educator. Then\, until the nineties\, he exiled himself with some friends and a few autistic children to Southern France. There he developed memorization\, recording\, and archiving practices (writings\, movies\, maps) opening the possibilities for speaking and non-speaking individuals in the community. His anthropological experimentations\, inspired by Marcel Mauss and André Leroi-Gourhan\, focused on a new concept: the “common body\,” that had\, after reading Keith Basso and Tim Ingold\, an astonishing political impact. Catherine Perret will analyze how this concept can be read in regard to the sociological concept of the “social body” and how its invention proceeds directly from Fernand Deligny’s “artistic” inventions.

SUMMARY:Of Bridges: a Poetic and Philosophical Account by Thomas Harrison | Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:In conversation with Professors Marjorie Perloff of Standford and Christy Wampole of Princeton. \nA rich compendium of literary\, architectural\, and musical figurations\, Harrison’s Of Bridges gives a panoramic account of diverse meanings of bridges in seemingly unrelated times and places\, questioning why they are built and where they lead. It examines bridges of thought and art\, bridges as flash points in war\, the links forged by religion between transience and eternity\, the mega-bridges of our globalized world\, the real and symbolic crossings facing migrants each day\, and the affective connections that form and transform cultural communities.  \nZOOM Link: https://ucla.zoom.us/j/93182086493\nMeeting Passcode: 896580

SUMMARY:Alienated Awareness: Mindfulness Paradigms of Modernist Aesthetics | a virtual lecture by Professor Michael Subialka
DESCRIPTION:Is modern alienation necessarily a source of dehumanized angst? In this presentation I examine a perhaps unexpected way in which mindfulness practices and theory can serve as a paradigm of modernist aesthetics. This different paradigm helps us reconceive the nature and function of alienation (and it cognate forms – estrangement\, distance\, etc.) in modernist literature and art. Forms of alienation\, from dehumanization and distance to grotesque distortion or critical estrangement\, have long been viewed as a hallmark of modernist production. My contention is that if we adopt a view of modernist aesthetics that understands it as a particular (aesthetic) instantiation of mindfulness practice\, it becomes possible to reconceive the function of these forms of alienation. Simultaneously\, that practice can be situated in relation to multiple and conflicting theorizations drawn from varied traditions spanning Buddhist meditation and Christian contemplation to occult mysticism and scientific naturalism. Looking at the practice and theory of mindful presence together\, I argue that some forms of modernist alienation may actually align spiritual traditions with critical efforts to shift modern conditions by seeing the world anew.\nTo register\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Photography on Tilt | a virtual lecture by Professor Kalani Michell
DESCRIPTION:In 1968\, Frank Walter returns to his native Antigua after years in Europe\, where he devoted time to speculative genealogical family trees\, and opens a portrait studio. Having heard tales of his German lineage\, he didn’t anticipate being seen in Europe as only Black\, rather than mixed\, and contemplates how to materialize this complex history. Upon his return\, the studio was key for the 1\,250+ miniature paintings he made before his death: He painted them on the back of unwanted photographs. The versos of Walter’s paintings\, often referencing the tradition of German Romanticism\, offer a speculative media history. It is here that the community of St. John’s materializes and remains adamantly untitled\, as if they were always destined to be written out of history\, even as they assume the common place of the painting’s title. But to see this\, one first has to take hold of them – tilt\, turn and flip them.  \nThis talk explores the overlooked role of speculation within the history of photography through Walter’s studio photographs/paintings as flip-objects. These works speculate that these different modes and histories of visual representation can only be seen through one another\, like a thaumatropic image\, therein repositioning photography’s association with the past to understand it as future-oriented. \nTo register\, please click here.

We will bear witness to his pioneering contributions to the current critical discourse on French and European studies\, covering both the ancient and nouveau régimes\, from the Sixteenth century\, with\, among others\, Vinci\, Erasmus\, Rabelais\, Ronsard\, Montaigne\, to Versailles\, Nerval\, and contemporary French cultural politics (« Cinquante-huit réponses à Nicolas Sarkozy »\, Critique 2009). Participants will attest to how\, as a  literary scholar focusing on hermeneutic and textual interpretation\, the Genevan critic was also interested in culture\, philosophy\, visual arts\, architecture\, food\, society\, and\, recently\, digital humanities (Bodmer Foundation). Everything being said\, together we will assess how Michel Jeanneret\, the scholar\, the teacher\, and the humanist\, bears witness to what being human means. \nProfessor of French Literature at the University of Geneva\, Michel Jeanneret was one of the pillars of Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Centuries French literature\, as well as humanist and Renaissance cultures of our generation. Well known in the US\, where he gave numerous lectures\, he served as Distinguished Professor at Johns Hopkins University and has held posts as Visiting Professor in Harvard\, Princeton\, Seattle\, Irvine\, as well as the College de France\, the Sorbonne\, and the Universities of Lausanne\, Nothingham\, Bristol\, Beijing and Kyoto. Frequent visitor to California\, Los Angeles\, and UCLA\, he was a guest lecturer at the CMRS and a visiting scholar in the French and Francophone Department. Among his works translated into English: A Feast of Words: Banquets and Table Talk in the Renaissance (Chicago\, 1991) and Perpetual Motion: Transforming Shapes in the Renaissance from da Vinci to Montaigne (Johns Hopkins\, 2001). Colleagues and friends from the US and Europe will participate in this international homage. \nProgram: \n9:00am\nWelcome: Marian Hobson Jeanneret and Jean-Claude Carron\n \n9:15am-10:15am\nSession I – Papers: ‘L’élégance d’un style’\nModerator: Walter Stephens (Johns Hopkins University) \n9:15am\nMax Engammare (Librairie Droz\, University of Geneva)\, Les premiers pas d’un grand critique \n9:35am\nFrédéric Tinguely (University of Geneva)\, L’écriture comme présence \n9:55am\nFlorian Preisig (Eastern Washington University)\, La générosité dans l’œuvre critique de Michel Jeanneret \n10:15am\nBreak \nModerator: Cynthia Skenazi (University of California\, Santa Barbara) \n10:30am\nMary McKinley (University of Virginia)\nMichel Jeanneret / Michel de Montaigne: Joy\, Movement\, Liberty \n10:50am\nFrank Lestringant (Paris 4 Sorbonne)\nUn XVIIe siècle décapé.

SUMMARY:Connecting the Dots: Data Narratives of Migration\, a virtual talk Roopika Risam
DESCRIPTION:Roopika Risam; Digital Humanities Speaker\n \nEvent location: Zoom event\n \nPlease register here.\n \n \nAbstract\nWith the prodigious amount of data about contemporary migration currently available through sources like the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees\, migration has been subject of numerous data visualizations. Rhetorical and technical choices made in these visualizations have positioned refugees and forced migrants as instigators of a “crisis.” In doing so\, these forms of data storytelling displace the geo-political\, colonial\, and neo-colonial causes of migration onto refugees themselves\, positioning them as “problems.” In this talk Risam explores the narrative dimensions of migrant data. What does it mean to tell migrant narratives through data? What kinds of migrant narratives do data-driven approaches facilitate and what narratives are obscured through data-driven approaches? And what kinds of data storytelling approaches foster the agency of migrants?\n \nAbout the speaker\nRoopika Risam is Chair of Secondary and Higher Education and Associate Professor of Education and English at Salem State University. Her research interests lie at the intersections of postcolonial and African diaspora studies\, humanities knowledge infrastructures\, and digital humanities. Risam is the author of New Digital Worlds: Postcolonial Digital Humanities in Theory\, Praxis\, and Pedagogy (2018)\, and co-editor of Intersectionality in Digital Humanities (2019) and The Digital Black Atlantic for the Debates in the Digital Humanities series (2021).\n \nPresented by the UCLA Department of Digital Humanities and the UCLA Department of Information Studies.
