Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

FAST, or the Field Archaeology Series on Thursdays, is usually hosted in the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. However, due to space restrictions, this lecture will take place in the Classics Library (2175 Angell Hall), and will also be streamed live via Zoom (see link below). Please feel free to choose the attendance method that suits you best.

Our speaker is IPCAA core faculty member Dr. Chris Ratté, whose lecture is entitled “The Archaeology of Western Anatolia, ca. 1200-133 BCE.” His research focuses on the role played by the built environment, from individual monuments to regional settlement patterns, in the articulation of social and cultural identity, especially in regions on the peripheries of the Greek and Roman worlds.

While typically FAST lectures are known for the plentiful provision of food and drink, for the time being, there will be no food or drink provided. Our deepest apologies to those disappointed by the decision—it seems the most prudent choice, given the circumstances.

Zell Visiting Writers Series craft lectures are free and open to the public, and will be offered both virtually (via Zoom) and in person (in Angell Hall #3222). Seats at the in-person events are capacity-limited and offered on a first come, first served basis; please arrive early to secure a spot. Please contact kotziers@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.


In this craft lecture, we’ll first briefly discuss the theories of humor and the history of comedy to foreground our core task: how to employ varying degrees of irony in our writing to most effectively hook readers and manage (if not outright manipulate) their expectations and reactions.

To this end, we’ll analyze the go-to tricks of contemporary writers by charting a diverse array of works on the axis of irony—a cartesian plane mapping authorial distance against on-page voice—to assess the comedic, emotional, and narrative impacts of various literary techniques. Students will be invited to pinpoint the modes that they prefer to both write in and read, then how to further hone their craft in order to provoke and illicit their desired response from readers.

Jakob Guanzon is the author of *Abundance* (Graywolf, 2021), which the New York Times called, “relentless... what Abundance captures is how mundane poverty is, and how psychologically punishing.”

His short stories have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize twice, and have appeared in Split Lip Magazine, Juked, Breakwater Review, and elsewhere. Before he moved to New York to attend Columbia University’s School of the Arts, he lived in Madrid, Spain, where he taught, translated, and began publishing prose. He lives in Harlem.

In this craft talk, we’ll explore the craft of writing fiction that doesn’t move—fiction contained in a single, discreet space as large as a house, and as small as a bed—and the implication it has for our understanding of gender, characterization, plot, and time. Stories discussed will include Angela Carter’s “The Fall-River Axe Murders,” Susan Glaspell’s “A Jury of Her Peers,” Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour,” Nancy Hale’s “The Earliest Dreams,” and Lesley Nneka Arimah’s “The Future Looks Good.”

Carmen Maria Machado is the author of the bestselling memoir *In the Dream House* and the award-winning short story collection *Her Body and Other Parties*. She has been a finalist for the National Book Award and the winner of the Bard Fiction Prize, the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Fiction, the Lambda Literary Award for LGBTQ Nonfiction, the Brooklyn Public Library Literature Prize, the Shirley Jackson Award, and the National Book Critics Circle's John Leonard Prize. In 2018, the *New York Times* listed *Her Body and Other Parties* as a member of "The New Vanguard," one of "15 remarkable books by women that are shaping the way we read and write fiction in the 21st century."

Her essays, fiction, and criticism have appeared in the *New Yorker*, *the New York Times*, *Granta*, *Vogue*, This American Life, *Harper’s Bazaar*, Tin House, *McSweeney's Quarterly Concern*, *The Believer*, *Guernica*, *Best American Science Fiction & Fantasy*, *Best American Nonrequired Reading*, and elsewhere. She holds an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and has been awarded fellowships and residencies from the Guggenheim Foundation, Yaddo, Hedgebrook, and the Millay Colony for the Arts. She lives in Philadelphia and is the Abrams Artist-in-Residence at the University of Pennsylvania.

This meeting will be in person at Angell Hall G168. Please fill out the RSVP form as we have limited capacity for in-person meetings.

Our Errors are Invisible to Us
Every judgment we make requires a second one--whether to be confident or hesitant about it. I discuss psychological research on the vagaries of reaching accurate confidence assessments of our judgments, in particular the intrinsic problem of anticipating when we are wrong. Our errors are often invisible to us because they don't look like errors at the time. Other people, however, have a better chance at spotting those errors than we do.

David Dunning is Professor at the University of Michigan and a social psychologist focusing primarily on the psychology underlying human misbelief. His most cited work shows that people hold flattering opinions of their character and competence that cannot be justified from objective evidence, work supported by the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Templeton Foundation. An author of over 150 journal articles, book chapters, and general interest pieces, he is half of the team responsible for describing the infamous Dunning-Kruger effect, in which ignorance fails to recognize itself. He has served as president of both the Society of Experimental Social Psychology and the Society for the Science of Motivation. In 2016 he was awarded the Distinguished Lifetime Career Award from the International Society for Self and Identity, and has been a fellow at the Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences. He holds a BA from Michigan State University and a PhD from Stanford University, both in psychology.

The poet and critic Allen Grossman once claimed that the roots of poetry are in the poet’s desire to preserve the face of the beloved. Taking Grossman’s notion as a first principle, this craft talk explores the ways that art is substantiated by the elements that inform Grossman’s notion of the writer’s work: love and pain, earthbound chaos and timeless transcendence, erasure and recovery.

Hybrid FAST Lecture | Encrusted in Ancestors: Formal Reflections on the Funerary Reliefs of Palmyra (April 14, 2022 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/94378 94378-21736323@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 14, 2022 6:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

Our speaker is Assistant Curator and Assistant Professor of History of Art Dr. Nicola Barham. Her research combines close visual analysis and the study of material contexts and textual sources to reconstruct, and subsequently analyze, the visual culture of the ancient Roman world. Dr. Barham's work considers marginalized ethnic groups whose works (particularly funerary reliefs and mosaics) have been sidelined in accounts of ancient Roman art.

In this FAST Lecture, entitled "Encrusted in Ancestors: Formal Reflections on the Funerary Reliefs of Palmyra," Dr. Barham analyzes the aesthetic strategies of the iconic funerary reliefs of Palmyra, taking the portrait of a Palmyrene woman in the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology as her starting point. She interrogates the visual effects mediated by the status of these works as relief and illustrates that when Palmyrene portraits are viewed individually (as is so common today), their intended dynamic interactions are dramatically elided. Dr. Barham's lecture reinserts these portraits into an original tomb context to reconstruct the powerful visual effects they were designed to create when operating together as an ensemble.

Palmyrene funerary sculptures emerge as participating in both the Graeco-Roman and the Parthian visual traditions, but as ultimately achieving a highly distinctive and localized visual impact. Like the dead whom they commemorate and, indeed, like the medium of relief itself, these objects occupy an in-between status, at once concealing and revealing, affectively engaging and emotionally withdrawn, stridently individual and defined by group dynamics. The visual strategies of these reliefs are unique to the Syrian desert oasis of Palmyra.
