SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Non/Human Materials Before Modernity
DESCRIPTION:Non/Human Materials Before Modernity considers the materiality and makings of the non/human body. Through a series of short papers\, responses from colleagues\, and larger discussion\, the symposium will provide a forum for thinking cross-disciplinarily and across traditional lines of periodization. The symposium will address how different premodern cultures sought to understand the makings of species\, kinds\, and other divisions between beings and/or things. By historicizing the materialization of non/human bodies\, documenting the many and various strategies by which they have emerged and been constituted\, and tracing the broader cultural impacts of their emergence and constitution\, these panels will challenge the U-M community to re-imagine the materials and effects of non/humanity.\n\nMonday\, October 2\, 2017\n\n9-9:30 am: Welcome and Introductions\n\n9:30-10:50 am: Flesh & Stone\nMiranda Brown (University of Michigan): The Jade Body\nRick Bonnie (Frankel Center\, University of Helsinki): Pure Stale Water: Experiencing Ancient Jewish Ritual Bathing\nErin Brightwell (University of Michigan): response\n\n11:10 am-12:30 pm: Messmates\nMira Balberg (Northwestern University): The Human and Its Double: Snakes\, Humans\, and Dogs in the Palestinian Talmud\nJames McHugh (University of Southern California): Spirits of Liquor and Consciousness as Alcohol in Early Indian Thought\nIan Moyer (University of Michigan): response\n\n2-3:20 pm: Humanimal\nPeggy McCracken (University of Michigan): The Material of Metamorphosis\,\nSonya Özbey (University of Michigan): “Those that Have Blood and Qi”: The Psychophysical Continuum of Humanity and Animality in the Xunzi\nMelanie Yergeau (University of Michigan): response\n\n3:40-5 pm: Malleable Matter\nAileen Das (University of Michigan): An Alchemical Cosmos: Material Fluidity and Transmutation in the Iḫwān al-Ṣafāʾ\nRachel Neis (University of Michigan): Flesh\, Food\, or Family?
