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.

Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

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. ASL interpreters and CART services at in-person events are available upon request; please email asbates@umich.edu at least two weeks prior to the event, whenever possible, to allow time to arrange services.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Lydia Conklin's craft lecture will explore how to deepen characters that are hard to pin down, how to push closer to interiority. We’ll look at some close readings and Conklin will share their experience.

Lydia Conklin has received a Stegner Fellowship, a Rona Jaffe Foundation Writer’s Award, three Pushcart Prizes, a Creative Writing Fulbright in Poland, a grant from the Elizabeth George Foundation, a Creative Writing Fellowship from Emory University, work-study and tuition scholarships from Bread Loaf, and fellowships from MacDowell, Yaddo, Hedgebrook, Djerassi, the James Merrill House, and elsewhere. Their fiction has appeared in *Tin House*, *American Short Fiction*, *The Paris Review*, *One Story*, and VQR. They have drawn cartoons for *The New Yorker* and *Narrative Magazine*, and graphic fiction for The Believer, Lenny Letter, and the Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago. Last year they served as the Helen Zell Visiting Professor in Fiction at the University of Michigan and they are currently an Assistant Professor of Fiction at Vanderbilt University. Their story collection, *Rainbow Rainbow*, was published in May 2022 by Catapult in North America and Scribner in the UK.

*Rainbow Rainbow* is an exuberant, prize-winning collection in which queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming characters seek love and connection in hilarious and heart-rending stories that reflect the complexity of our current moment. A nonbinary writer on the eve of top surgery enters into a risky affair during the height of COVID. A lesbian couple enlists a close friend as a sperm donor, plying him with a rainbow-colored cocktail. A lonely office worker struggling with their gender identity chaperones their nephew to a trans YouTube convention. And in the depths of a Midwestern winter, a sex-addicted librarian resists a relapse at a wild college fair.

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, Alberto Rios will talk about how other cultures approach the page from life, and how this changes the nature of possibility and widens our spheres of existence and community. Rios will talk specifically about Mexico/Latin America, and the Arizona-Sonora border, where he grew up.

Alberto Ríos, Arizona’s inaugural poet laureate and a recent chancellor of the Academy of American Poets, is the author of twelve books and chapbooks of poetry, including *The Theater of Night*—winner of the 2007 PEN/Beyond Margins Award—three collections of short stories, and a memoir about growing up on the border, Capirotada. His book *The Smallest Muscle in the Human Body* was a finalist for the National Book Award. Ríos is the recipient of numerous accolades and his work is included in over 300 national and international literary anthologies. He is also the recent host of the PBS programs *Art in the 48 and Books & Co.*, for which he won a 2020 Rocky Mountain Emmy Award. His work is regularly taught and translated, and has been adapted to dance and both classical and popular music. Ríos is a University Professor of Letters, Regents’ Professor, and the Katharine C. Turner Chair in English at Arizona State University. In 2017, he was named director of the Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing. His most recent books are *Not Go Away Is My Name*, poems, and a novel, *A Good Map of All Things*.

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.


In this craft lecture, Rumaan Alam will explore the topic of pleasure. Essentially, that’s the readers’ ultimate goal and should be part of the writer’s too—a favorite hobbyhorse of his. The lecture will emphasize the idea of prioritizing pleasure, both the reader’s and your own, as you work, and how pleasure should be a part of the larger calculus around everything a writer is doing.

Rumaan Alam is an author whose writing explores the beauty and horror of daily existence, as well as complex ideas about fate and privilege.

After his parents moved from Bangladesh in the ‘70s, Rumaan grew up in the suburbs of Washington D.C. He was an obsessive reader and knew he wanted to be a writer by the time he was 10 years old. After studying English and graduating from Oberlin College, he has written three novels:* Rich and Pretty, That Kind of Mother*, and his latest, the instant *New York Times* bestseller *Leave the World Behind*. A finalist for the 2020 National Book Award, *Leave the World Behind* is also being adapted for film with Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington in lead roles.

Rumaan’s other writing has appeared in *The Wall Street Journal*, *The New York Times*, *New York Magazine*, *Buzzfeed*, and *The New Republic*, where he is a contributing editor. He also co-hosts two podcasts for *Slate*.

Rumaan lives in New York with his husband and two children.

MMP Speaker Event - Morality is skin deep: Linking aesthetic and moral cognition in the brain. (February 24, 2023 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/101680 101680-21808308@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 24, 2023 3:00pm

Title: Morality is skin deep: Linking aesthetic and moral cognition in the brain.

Abstract: Facial beauty is linked to a “beauty-is-good” stereotype, whereby people expect positive character traits in people with attractive faces. We find evidence for a complementary “anomalous-is-bad” stereotype, which facilitates negative biases against people with visible facial differences like scars and palsies. This evidence is found at multiple levels of organization: At the level of the brain, people show a specific neural response to anomalous faces in the amygdala. At the level of attitudes, people make negative character evaluations about individuals with facial anomalies, are explicitly biased against them as a group, and misjudge their expressions of facial affect to be more negative than they actually are. These negative attitudinal biases are detectable regardless of the kind of facial anomaly. At the level of behavior, less prosociality is detected towards individuals with visible facial differences compared to typical faces in people with the most to give. Across levels of organization, the specific amygdala response to facial anomalies is associated with stronger just-world beliefs (i.e., people get what they deserve), less trait empathic concern, and less prosociality elicited by anomalous faces. Data collected from the Hadza hunter-gatherers in Tanzania suggests the anomalous-is-bad stereotype is learned, rather than emerging from an adaptive aversion to pathogen threat. In a recent study, we tested the hypothesis that implicit biases towards people with visible facial differences can be unlearned through routine exposure to faces bearing such anomalous features. Participants’ implicit biases were measured before and after they completed an exposure intervention, which was delivered remotely using a custom mobile phone application. Our findings suggest that exposure to people with facial anomalies, especially exposure that elicits perspective taking, can reduce negative biases towards them in a targeted fashion.

Please join us for a discussion of U-M English Language & Literature PhD candidate Michaela Kotzier's dissertation chapter, “Loving as Explanation," on Wednesday, March 8th at 10:30am. You can sign up to receive the chapter here: https://forms.gle/8do16kCmHcW6oEYa7.

"My dissertation explores the cultural and personal significance of reading and writing for lesbians. I research the ways that sexuality is experienced through reading and writing, and how various textual forms afford particular experiences of sexuality. My methods include thinking theoretically about the interconnectedness of reading, writing, intimacy, and sexuality as experiential phenomena, as well as a cultural-historical approach to close reading lesbian-authored texts from the 70s and 80s that forefront this interconnectivity.
This chapter experiments with letter writing, journaling, poetry, and memoir-like essay to theorize written intimacies and pleasure, narratives of lesbian identity formation, and the forcefield of lesbian stereotypes and invisibility. I include close readings of Virginia Woolf’s epistolary exchanges with Violet Dickinson and Vita Sackville-West, reflections on written exchanges as queer worldmaking, and argue for the ways that letter writing and desire mirror each other in their formal structures. The autotheoretical mode in which I write much of this chapter is influenced by the form of Chris Kraus’s I Love Dick, as well as her book’s foundational proposition that you can study something at the same time that you are doing it. For Kraus’s narrator, this means performing the gendered codes and obsessions of heterosexual romance by writing reams of unsent letters to a man she hardly knows, all the while amassing a portfolio of epistolary performance art. For my chapter, this means reflecting on the written intimacy of a former lesbian relationship by way of writing letters to that ex and forging a new, differently complex intimacy."

Spring 2023 MEMS Lecture. In the Aftermath of the Divine Winds: Religious Responses to the Mongol Threat and the Medieval Reimagining of Japan (March 10, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/102062 102062-21803407@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 10, 2023 4:00pm

Twice in the late thirteenth century, the Mongol empire launched attack fleets against Japan. On both occasions, they were repelled by fortuitous storms. Scholarly accounts of the Mongol threat have focused on Japan’s military defense. However, massive efforts were also poured into ritual countermeasures: Sacred texts were copied and recited, buddha images commissioned, and enemy-subduing rites performed. The failure of the invasion attempts was attributed to the intervention of Japan’s local deities (kami) and catalyzed a conceptual inversion of Japan’s cosmological status, from “a marginal land in the last age” to a timeless, inviolable realm at the very center of the Buddhist world.

Bio: Jacqueline Stone is professor emerita of Japanese Religions in the Religion Department of Princeton University. She focuses on Japanese Buddhism of the medieval and modern periods. Her current research interests include traditions of the Lotus Sutra, particularly the Tendai and Nichiren sects; Buddhism and Japanese identity formation; and modern reinterpretations of Buddhist thought and practice. She is the author of Original Enlightenment and the Transformation of Medieval Japanese Buddhism (1999) and Right Thoughts at the Last Moment: Buddhism and Deathbed Practices in Early Medieval Japan (2016).

Chapter Abstract:
In this essay, I read John Addington Symonds' Memoirs and personal correspondences as textual repositories of queer anxiety. I focus on Symonds' recollections about living in fear of being discovered and publicly humiliated, and I argue that queer anxiety is a structure of feeling constitutive of the homosexual closet. Examining his correspondence with Havelock Ellis and Richard von Krafft-Ebing, I reveal that Symonds theorized his affective life and developed a notion of the cultural origins of queer anxiety. With this, he sought to challenge the psychiatric definitions of homosexual neurosis as a congenital condition and dispute the scientific theories of homosexuality as illness. His autotheoretical contributions, however, were dismissed by sexologists as subjective inferences inadmissible to scientific epistemologies: as the object of the medical gaze, the anxious homosexual could speak, but he could never have the last word.

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 Winter 2023!

Title: “The Toxic Ideology of Longtermism”

Abstract:
This lecture criticizes the intellectual tradition “longtermism” as an ideology, for its damaging real-world effects as well as for its reliance on a flawed ethical theory. Longtermism is an outgrowth of Effective Altruism (EA), a utilitarianism-inspired philanthropic program founded just over a decade ago by young Oxford philosophers Toby Ord and William MacAskill. EA, which claims to guide charitable giving to do the ‘most good’ per expenditure of time or money, originally focused on mitigating the effects of poverty in the global South and of the treatment of animals in factory farms. This initially modestly-funded, Oxford-based enterprise soon had satellites in the UK, US, and elsewhere in the world, several of which became multi-million-dollar organisations, while the amount of money directed by EA-affiliated groups swelled to over four hundred million dollars annually, with pledges in the tens of billions. During this period, Ord and MacAskill started using the term ‘longtermism’ to mark a view championed by members of a conspicuous subset of effective altruists. The view is that humanity is at a crossroads at which we may either self-destruct or realize a glorious future, and that we should prioritize responding to threats to the continued existence of human civilization. The ‘existential risks’ that longtermists rank as most probable are AI unaligned with liberal values and deadly engineered pathogens. They urge us to combat these risks to make it likelier that humans (or our digitally intelligent descendants) will live on for millions, billions, or even trillions of years, surviving until long after the sun has vaporised the earth by colonizing exoplanets. The longtermist enterprise has been publicly thrashed for its ties to the crypto exchange FTX, which declared bankruptcy in mid-November 2022, but the movement remains well-funded and well-positioned to repair its reputation and go on enlisting earnest individuals to energetically support and spread it. There is a pressing need to criticize its theoretical weaknesses and forcefully bring out its material harms, exposing it as the toxic ideology it is.

“Shaping Poetry in the Classroom” (11am-12:30pm)

Cody Walker, Lecturer IV and Director of the Undergraduate Creative Writing Program | Gillian White, Associate Professor of English | John Whittier-Ferguson, Professor of English


How do teaching methods shape the idea of what students come to understand as “poetry”? What ideas of poetry are informed by the university classroom? This panel seeks to constellate the stakes, pressures, and possibilities of reading poetry in the classroom. We ask our panelists to think about how their teaching methods shape the idea of what their students come to understand as “poetry” and “poems.”


Lunch break (12:30pm-1pm)


“Poetics Now” (1pm-2:30pm)

Khaled Mattawa, Professor of creative writing in the Helen Zell MFA Writing Program | Marianna Hagler, PhD candidate in English Language & Literature | Sergio Villalobos-Ruminott, Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures (Spanish)


What is “poetics” today? Is it a matter of reading practices, methodology, and/or shared assumptions? How has our contemporary understanding of “poetics” come into being? This panel presents multiple understandings of poetics and how we might read poems today. Speakers may address lyric, poetic genre, issues of poetry criticism, reading communities, poetry performance, poetic “difficulty,” reader reception, translation, and reading theory. The panel will also feature close readings of particular poems.
