SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Making and Recognizing Slave Bodies in Classical Athens
DESCRIPTION:Gerald F. Else Lecture\n\nIn his defense of slavery\, Aristotle claims that nature makes the bodies of free men and slaves different. But he also recognizes that this is “often” not the case\, and that some slaves are endowed with the bodies of free people (and vice versa) (Politics 1254b27-34). In this talk\, I suggest that in classical Athens\, too\, an attempt was made to naturalize the distinction between slaves and free people (and especially citizens)\, but by different means: namely\, through the differential treatment of enslaved people\, including bans from the gymnasium\, whipping and other corporal punishment\, fetters and chains\, tattooing and branding\, manual labor\, etc. In this way\, legible “slave bodies” were made\, thus justifying\, albeit retroactively\, their bearers’ enslavement. However\, just as Aristotle’s argument breaks down\, so too in Athens does the hard-and-fast distinction between slave and citizen bodies crumble when held up to scrutiny.\n\nDeborah Kamen is Professor of Classics at the University of Washington. Her work focuses primarily on the social and cultural history of Ancient Greece\, with particular attention to slavery. Her first book\, Status in Classical Athens (2013)\, was described as \"indispensable reading for anyone interested in ancient Athenian society\" and an \"important contribution to scholarship.\" She has also written a book on Insults in Classical Athens (2020) and co-edited the volume Slavery and Sexuality in Classical Antiquity (2021). Slavery is attested throughout ancient Greek history and all over the Greek world. Her most recent book\, Greek Slavery (2023)\, offers a state-of-the-art guide to research on ancient Greek slavery\, surveying recent scholarly trends and controversies and suggesting future directions for research.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Marshmallow Laser Feast
DESCRIPTION:Marshmallow Laser Feast (MLF) is an experiential artist collective that believes in the power of stories to tickle the senses and shift perceptions. Their work takes audiences on multisensory journeys where imagination and information collide.\nComprising coders\, poets\, chemists\, ventriloquists\, and collaborators from brands to institutions\, MLF explores new forms of culture\, interrogates our relationship with the world around us\, and leaves a glittery slug trail as they journey through the cosmos.\nThey create stories that untangle\, entangle\, and flavor reality—blurring the lines between art\, immersive experiences\, XR\, and film. Their work comes alive in galleries\, museums\, public spaces\, parks\, nature reserves\, and the metaverse. Grounded in research\, it carves out space to expose\, explore\, and expand our connection with the living world.\nMLF has exhibited internationally at institutions including ACMI\, Barbican Centre\, YCAM\, DDB Seoul\, Sundance Film Festival\, Factory International\, Quartier des Spectacles in Montreal\, SXSW\, Phi Centre\, and the Lisbon Architectural Triennale. Their work has been featured in renowned publications such as The Guardian\, New Scientist\, Wired\, Independent\, Creative Review\, and more.\nBarnaby Steel\, artist and creative director of MLF\, centers his practice on the senses—inviting audiences into states of expanded perception where the boundaries between bodies blur. His work is deeply rooted in scientific observation\, using it as a window to look through and beyond human experience to understand complexities hidden from the naked eye. Barnaby’s art steps outside the human-centered worldview\, exploring the threads that weave us into relationship with the more-than-human world.\nWith support from Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum and the Michigan Institute for Data and AI in Society. \nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.
