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.”

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.

Our Errors are Invisible to Us (March 31, 2022 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/94172 94172-21723570@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 31, 2022 6:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

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.

Dissertation Defense: Inquiring Further: Essays on Epistemic Normativity (May 31, 2022 9:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/94782 94782-21767868@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, May 31, 2022 9:30am

ABSTRACT:
My dissertation defends the importance of epistemic norms on what I call ‘inquiring further.’ Inquiring further is a familiar practice we all engage in when we redeliberate, gather more evidence, or double-check our beliefs. Nonetheless, many philosophers have argued that norms governing when we should gather evidence or reinquire are at most practical or moral norms. Against this, I argue that norms on inquiring further are central to our conception of responsible epistemic agency. I do this by appealing to both the roles of epistemic evaluations and our practices of holding agents epistemically accountable. My dissertation thereby expands and enriches our understanding of epistemic evaluations and normativity.

Dissertation Defense: Symmetry and Reformulation: On Intellectual Progress in Science and Math (June 3, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/94783 94783-21767869@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, June 3, 2022 1:00pm

ABSTRACT:
Scientists and mathematicians routinely make progress by reformulating their problem-solving plans. Whereas many philosophers focus on competing theories, methodologies, or foundations, I focus on what I call "compatible formulations." In these cases, different problem-solving plans peacefully coexist, mutually illuminating their subject matter. My dissertation defends an account of the nature and value of compatible formulations. I argue that reformulations often provide a kind of objective, non-practical, epistemic value, which I call "intellectual significance." Meeting the constitutive aims of science and mathematics requires reformulating.

Of course, not all reformulations are intellectually significant: some are trivial notational variants. To distinguish trivial from significant reformulations, I consider four different accounts of the value of reformulating, based on instrumental, intellectual, explanatory, and metaphysical value. According to what I call "conceptualism," reformulations are significant when they provide an epistemically distinct plan for solving problems. The intellectual value of reformulating does not require corresponding explanatory or metaphysical differences, and it goes beyond practical or instrumental value. To avoid more weighty commitments, I provide expressivist accounts of (i) what it means for one formulation to provide better understanding than another and (ii) what it means for one formulation to be more fundamental. Finally, I analyze what it means for a formulation to make a property manifest or perspicuous, e.g. by "wearing it on the sleeves."

Slavery and the Book: Toward a New Social History of Roman Literature

Joseph Howley,
Columbia U.

Thurs. Sept 15th 2022
4:00 PM

2175 Angell Hall
Classical Studies Library

Summary: Histories of the book have tended to distinguish periods of book history and cultures of the book in technological terms: manuscript and print, scroll and codex, papyrus and parchment, silent reading, hypertext. This paper will argue that the defining material condition of the book in ancient Rome was not an element of format or medium, but rather the role played by enslaved book workers — secretaries, readers, copyists, and other specialists. Though Roman elites could and did read and write for themselves, their book culture depended on enslaved labor to operate at the scale it did. This book culture arose in elite households of the late Republic, and even as book use spread more widely in the early centuries of the Empire, practices and values of the book formed by the role of slavery remained dominant, and the shadow cast over the book trade by elite domestic slavery remained long. This paper will argue for the centrality of enslaved labor to the history and culture of the Roman book, and will consider how the source and evidence challenges of book history intersect with those of social history and the history of slavery. It will consider three case studies from the spheres of writing, reading, and copying books, and suggest that specific practices of enslavement in the Roman world have significantly shaped ideas that are central to how we imagine the book in the long European tradition.

Critical Conversations is a monthly lunchtime series organized by the English Department Associate Chair’s Office. Each Critical Conversations session will feature four to five panelists who will give flash talks about their current work as related to a broad theme.

We see these sessions as an important hub for rigorous and collaborative thinking, giving our Michigan community the chance to share and learn about each other's work on a monthly basis. Now more than ever, our community is in need of the encouragement and inspiration we find in one another’s work, and we see Critical Conversations as a crucial opportunity to connect with colleagues and ideas in our disconnected circumstances. We hope you will join us in Fall 2022!

For the first time, Critical Conversations is hosting a Prospectus Showcase to celebrate the research journeys and commitments of graduate students in the English department who are at that stage.

Summary: This paper sets out in search of a new world history context for Rome. Traditionally world history was seen as a function of European history, leaving most of the world standing idle on the side-line. This view has long since collapsed, but a new image of world history has yet to take its place. While the Roman Empire nested snuggly in a story that saw history progress through stages of European development, from antiquity till the present, its position was nevertheless characterised by a paradox. From A European perspective, Rome, the pan-Mediterranean empire, was an anomaly, an exception. But, while Rome the universal empire find few parallels in later European history, dominated by middling-sized states, it fits into a wider and dynamic comparative history of grand imperial monarchies, ranging across the pre-industrial Afro-Eurasian world. This is the new world history context against which we should explore the Greco-Roman experience.

Peter Fibiger Bang, PhD (Cantab), Dr. Phil (Haf) is Associate Professor at the Saxo Institute (history), University of Copenhagen. He has worked extensively on Roman economic and comparative imperial history. Among his many books are: The Roman Bazaar (CUP 2008), Universal Empire (co-edited with D. Kolodziejczyk, CUP 2012) and most recently The Oxford World History of Empire, 2 vols. (co-edited with C. A. Bayly & W. Scheidel, OUP 2021)

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 are offered on a first come, first served basis; please arrive early to secure a spot. Please contact asbates@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.


In this craft lecture, Raquel Gutiérrez shares insights into the art of description and a practice centered on being a social index—a living human with the ability to provide a set of clear cross references for particular art happenings.

Raquel Gutiérrez is an arts critic/writer, poet and educator. Born and raised in Los Angeles Gutiérrez credits the queer and feminist DIY post-punk 'zine culture of the 1990s plus Los Angeles County and Getty paid arts internships with introducing her/them to the various vibrant art & music scenes and communities throughout Southern California. Gutiérrez is a 2021 recipient of the Rabkin Prize in Arts Journalism, as well as a 2017 recipient of the The Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant. Her/Their writing has recently appeared in or is forthcoming in *Art In America*, NPR Music, *Places Journal*, and *The Georgia Review*. Gutiérrez teaches in the Oregon State University-Cascades Low Residency Creative Writing MFA Program. Gutiérrez calls Tucson, Arizona home.

Part butch memoir, part ekphrastic travel diary, part queer family tree, Raquel Gutiérrez’s debut essay collection *Brown Neon* (Coffee House Press, 2022) considers what it means to be a Latinx artist during the Trump era, and gleans insight from the sediment of land and relationships. For Gutiérrez, terrain is essential to understanding that no story, no matter how personal, is separate from the space where it unfolds. Whether contemplating the value of adobe as both vernacular architecture and commodified art object, highlighting the feminist wounding and transphobic apparitions haunting the multi-generational lesbian social fabric, or recalling a failed romance, Gutiérrez traverses complex questions of gender, class, identity, and citizenship with curiosity and nuance.

Summary: Amheida (Roman Trimithis) is located in the Dakleh Oasis in the western Egyptian desert. Excavations carried out in the town have focused on a 3rd-century middle class household and a 4th-century villa. Additional excavations have been conducted at the 4th-5th-century church complex an Ain el-Gedida, also located in the oasis. This presentation will review the archaeology of these three sites and then show how archaeological data can be used to reveal differences in diet and social status between the three sites.

Brandon Taylor is the author of the novel, *Real Life*, which was a finalist for the 2020 Booker Prize, The National Book Critics Circle John Leonard Prize, and the 2021 Young Lions Fiction Award, and was named a NYT Editors’ Choice and NYT Notable Book. His story collection, *Filthy Animals*, a national bestseller, won the 2022 Story Prize and was a finalist for the Dylan Thomas Prize. He is the 2022-2023 Mary Ellen von der Heyden Fellow at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers. His novel, *The Late Americans*, is forthcoming from Riverhead Books.

In the series of linked stories at the heart of *Filthy Animals*, set in the American Midwest, a young man treads delicate emotional waters as he navigates a series of sexually fraught encounters with two dancers in an open relationship, forcing him to weigh his vulnerabilities against his loneliness. In other stories, a young woman battles with the cancers draining her body and her family; menacing undercurrents among a group of teenagers explode in violence on a winter night; a little girl tears through a house like a tornado, driving her babysitter to the brink; and couples feel out the jagged edges of connection, comfort, and cruelty.

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 are offered on a first come, first served basis; please arrive early to secure a spot. Please contact asbates@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.


What does it mean to embrace the physical remnants of history? To devour, enlarge, erase, and amend its material, then engage it on the page, in the gallery, and on the mic? This interdisciplinary craft lecture examines the archive as a location of ancestry, a platform for dialogue, and a tool for approaching the space between past and imagined future.

Courtney Faye Taylor is the author of *Concentrate* (Graywolf Press, 2022). It is the winner of the Cave Canem Poetry Prize selected by Rachel Eliza Griffiths and was a finalist for the National Poetry Series.

*Concentrate* considers the life of Latasha Harlins, a fifteen-year-old Black girl killed by a Korean-American grocer named Soon Ja Du in 1991. Her murder, along with Rodney King’s beating, served as a catalyst for the 1992 L.A. Uprising. Through poems, visual collages, dialogues and essays, *Concentrate* reflects on the precariousness of Black girlhood and explores tension between Black and Korean-American communities, specifically how white supremacy is the instigator of that tension.


For any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs, please email asbates@umich.edu-- we are eager to help ensure that this event is inclusive to you. The building, event space, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. A lactation room (Angell Hall #5209), reflection room (Haven Hall #1506), and gender-inclusive restroom (Angell Hall 5th floor) are available on site.

Bishop is celebrated for her descriptions; this talk recasts her ‘famous eye’ not as sight but as attempts at insight, and specifically as the kind of reasoning that philosophy calls inference to the best explanation. We can then see that she's attending to how things look in order to tell us how they work.

Johanna Winant is assistant professor of English at West Virginia University. She is completing a book titled Lyric Logic: Modern American Poetry and Reasoning. Her writing appears in JML, Poetics Today, Paideuma, James Joyce Quarterly, Post45 Contemporaries, Slate, and elsewhere.

A Stoic and Socratic Theory of Motivation

Stoic moral psychology—dominant for several centuries within the Greek and Roman philosophical tradition—centrally includes a phenomenon designated by the Greek term hormê, which translators have variously rendered as appetitio, 'conation,' 'impulse,' 'desire,' Trieb, tendance, and (more recently) 'effort.' Hormai, of which the pathê or emotions are central instances, are characterized in the Greek sources both as representations with proposition-like content and as motions in some way directed towards an intentional object. Accordingly, they puzzlingly appear to have, and perhaps even to integrate, both belief- and desire-like features. I consider this element of Stoic theory against both its Socratic background and contemporary accounts of motivation.

Fast Lecture | Pre-Roman Funerary Archaeology (January 12, 2023 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103261 103261-21806693@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 12, 2023 6:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

This lecture will be presented by Dr. Josipa Mandić and Dr. Cesare Vita, who will deliver a public lecture about their research on pre-Roman funerary archaeology. By presenting the cemeteries of Buccino and San Brancato, two sites of the ancient region of Lucania (modern Basilicata) in central southern Italy, they will analyze changes in indigenous and Lucanian burial practices and grave goods between the 7th and 3rd centuries BCE.

FAST, or the Field Archaeology Series on Thursdays, is usually hosted in the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, but for the time being FAST will be held elsewhere, due to space restrictions. The lecture will occur in the Classics Library (2175 Angell Hall). Light refreshments and food will be provided before the lecture, beginning at 5:30 pm. This event will be held in a hybrid setting, and can accessed remotely by the following link or meeting ID:

Heaven as a Way of Thinking: Dante's Paradiso (January 12, 2023 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/102934 102934-21805565@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 12, 2023 7:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

What is heaven for? The last third of Dante's Divine Comedy has been seen as the most alien to the modern mind-set. Paradise is often understood as somewhere else, which can make its relevance to the here-and-now seem tangential, even suspect. Just as all stories are illuminated from their end, Paradiso gives us not only a vista in retrospect, but also a glimpse of the underlying pattern of the phenomenal world. It is, therefore, not "elsewhere" so much as another way of reading what appears before us. What heaven is for is analogous to what literature is for.

Alison Cornish is currently Professor of Italian Studies at New York University and President of the Dante Society of America. Before that, she taught at the University of Michigan for 23 years. Her latest book, Believing in Dante, was published by Cambridge University Press this past year (2022).

Recurrence and Rumination (January 20, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/96169 96169-21791985@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 20, 2023 10:00am

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 the Robert Hayden Conference Room-- Angell Hall #3222). Seats are offered on a first come, first served basis; please arrive early to secure a spot. Please contact asbates@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.

Fady Joudah's craft lecture will explore the themes of recurrence and rumination. No poetry holds without a private lexicon. Not necessarily over the course of a poem or several but over a collection or several. A private lexicon take son different forms, syntactical, vernacular, and sometimes repetition of certain states of being and actual excerpts from one’s work that recur in search of the perfect or complete expression the poet can’t attain but can’t stop trying to attain.

A poet and a practicing physician of internal medicine, Fady Joudah, a Palestinian American, born in Texas, grew up in Libya and Saudi Arabia before returning to the US to pursue a medical career. He is also a translator from the Arabic of several volumes of poetry. Learn more about Fady at: *https://milkweed.org/author/fady-joudah*

Fady Joudah's most recent book of poetry, *Tethered to Stars*, inhabits the deductive tongue of astronomy, the oracular throat of astrology, and the living language of loss and desire. With an analytical eye and a lyrical heart, Joudah shifts deftly between the microscope, the telescope, and sometimes even the horoscope. His gaze lingers on the interior space of a lung, on a butterfly poised on a filament, on the moon temple atop Huayna Picchu, on a dismembered live oak. In each lingering, Joudah shares with readers the palimpsest of what makes us human: “We are other worms / for other silk roads.” The solemn, the humorous, the erotic, the transcendent—all of it, in Joudah’s poems, steeped in the lexicon of the natural world. “When I say honey,” says one lover, “I’m asking you whose pollen you contain.” “And when I say honey,” replies another, “you grip my sweetness / on your life, stigma and anthophile.”

Teeming with life but tinged with a sublime proximity to death, *Tethered to Stars* is a collection that flows “between nuance and essentialization,” from one of our most acclaimed poets.
