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.

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.


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.

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*.

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
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS)

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.

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 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.


For any questions or concerns, reach out to graduate co-coordinators Maya Day (mayaday@umich.edu) or Marianna Hagler (mhagler@umich.edu)

Contexts for Classics invites new and returning faculty and students to a presentation of work in progress, followed by discussion and a welcome reception.

Laura Jansen will reflect on her work as General Editor for the Bloomsbury monograph series, Classical Receptions in Twentieth-Century Writing. What new authors, topics, and directions does the series currently pursue, and why? And how might the series continue to redefine the practice and scope of classical reception studies?

Professor Jansen is the author of Borges’ Classics: Global Encounters with the Graeco-Roman World ( 2018), and editor of Susan Sontag’s Tangential Classics (2024), Anne Carson’s Euripides (2023), Anne Carson/Antiquity (2021), and The Roman Paratext (2014).

Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

Please join the English Department for the 2023 Annual Lora Hutchins Heberle Lecture with distinguished lecturer Prof. Caleb Smith, Department of English, Yale University.

*“I’m not saying, I’m just saying”: Notes on Disavowal*

What kind of gesture is a disavowal? In ancient religious and legal rituals, it is a public way for speakers to renounce bad allegiances. In psychoanalytic theory, it is the secret ruse by which we hide unwelcome knowledge from ourselves. And now, in the critical humanities, the political and private types of disavowal interfuse; when we critics accuse someone of disavowal, we identify both a transgression against others and a failure of self-reckoning. This talk explores the ideas about power, knowledge, and the subject that are entailed in such critical indictments, where disavowal means something like the opposite of confession.

Sidik Fofana is a graduate of NYU’s MFA program and a public school teacher in Brooklyn. His work has appeared in the *Sewanee Review* and *Granta.* He was also named a fellow at the Center for Fiction in 2018. His debut short story collection was published by Scribner in August 2022.

Set in a Harlem high rise, *Stories from the Tenants Downstair*s is a stunning debut about a tight-knit cast of characters grappling with their own personal challenges while the forces of gentrification threaten to upend life as they know it.

Like Gloria Naylor’s *The Women of Brewster Place* and Lin Manuel Miranda’s *In the Heights,* Sidik Fofana’s electrifying collection of eight interconnected stories showcases the strengths, struggles, and hopes of one residential community in a powerful storytelling experience.

Each short story follows a tenant in the Banneker Homes, a low-income high rise in Harlem where gentrification weighs on everyone’s mind. There is Swan in apartment 6B, whose excitement about his friend’s release from prison jeopardizes the life he’s been trying to lead. Mimi, in apartment 14D, who hustles to raise the child she had with Swan, waitressing at Roscoe’s and doing hair on the side. And Quanneisha B. Miles, a former gymnast with a good education who wishes she could leave Banneker for good, but can’t seem to escape the building’s gravitational pull. We root for these characters and more as they weave in and out of each other’s lives, endeavoring to escape from their pasts and blaze new paths forward for themselves and the people they love.

For any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs, please email kimjulie@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 kimjulie@umich.edu at least two weeks prior to the event, whenever possible, to allow time to arrange services.

Organized By: Classical Studies

Presented by AIA Lecturer Nathan T. Elkins, Deputy Director of the American Numismatic Society

In the Roman world, libertas (freedom or liberty) was the condition opposite slavery. As with so many Roman ideals, the concept was also personified. Under the emperors, her image often appeared after the death of an emperor who was characterized as a tyrant, suggesting the new emperor would rule in a more inclusive way. Scholarly interpretations have typically asserted her appearance was a message for the Senate (libertas senatoria), but the great frequency of her imagery in the reigns of some emperors and her appearance on the coins of emperors who succeeded deified emperors suggests a more popular message. Coins from the reigns of Caligula and Galba specifically connect Libertas with the remission of taxes and customs duties and the appearance of her image on coins in the second century CE tends to correlate with the forgiveness of public debt and activity related to the alimenta, an Italian program that provided resources to relieve the financial burden associated with the upbringing of children. Libertas thus had a broader meaning and appeal than has been recognized.

Professor Elkins’ research areas include Roman art, coinage and coin iconography, topography and architecture, sport and spectacle, and the illicit antiquities trade. He is the author of three books: A Monument to Dynasty and Death: The Story of Rome’s Colosseum and the Emperors Who Built It (JHUP, 2019), The Image of Political Power in the Reign of Nerva, AD 96-98 (Oxford, 2017), and Monuments in Miniature: Architecture on Roman Coinage (ANS, 2015). He is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, Fellow of the American Numismatic Society (New York), and of the Royal Numismatic Society (London).

The Institute advances awareness, education, fieldwork, preservation, publication, and research of archaeological sites and cultural heritage throughout the world.

THIS EVENT IS CANCELED

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 kimjulie@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.

We will examine a selection of poems and other literary artworks (from the dead and the living), on the lookout for the ‘punctum’ and the ‘phosphorus’, the 'torque' and the 'haunt'—considering together the words, phrases, musical moves and formal choices that make the work viscerally felt and indelible, impossible to forget or shrug off.
The lenses and touchstones of our discussion will be the punctum vs. studium concept, formulated by Roland Barthes in Camera Lucida, and the William Carlos Williams quote from In the American Grain:
It has been my wish to draw from every source one thing,
the strange phosphorus of the life. . .

For any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs, please email kimjulie@umich.edu--we are eager to help ensure that this event is inclusive to you. The building, event space, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible.

FAST Lecture | Connectivity in the Adriatic Sea between the Late Bronze Age and the Orientalizing Period: Current Issues and Future Perspectives (October 26, 2023 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/114369 114369-21832804@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 26, 2023 6:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

Giulia Saltini Semerari is a professor in U-M’s Department of Anthropology and an assistant curator at the Museum of Anthropological Archaeology. Her research interests center around connectivity, migration, and colonization in the Mediterranean, particularly southern Italy. The description of her talk is as follows:

In antiquity, the Adriatic Sea functioned as a seam between vast regions of the Mediterranean and Europe, bridging the long, culturally diverse shorelines of the Balkans and the Italian peninsula. It was also one of the more direct sea routes from anywhere in the Mediterranean to the heart of central Europe and, via the latter’s rivers, the Northern and Baltic Seas. These long-distance routes moved amber, and at specific times copper, along the Adriatic coasts and into the Mediterranean. At the same time, shorter-distance, cross-Adriatic connections have been documented from the Neolithic onwards. Yet while diachronic shifts in the shape and intensity of these connections are obvious, our understanding of the local social processes shaping Adriatic connectivity through time is still coarse. To tackle this question, this summer I conducted preliminary research in two river valleys situated on the opposite shores of the Adriatic (Southern Italy and Albania) with the aim of setting up a long-term collaborative project. This talk will provide a general introduction and very preliminary report of this summer’s activities, along with a discussion of future research perspectives within the framework of Mediterranean archaeology studies.

This lecture will take place in the Classics Library (2175 Angell Hall). Light refreshments and snacks will be provided.

Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Critical Contemporary Studies Workshop

The talk, “Tipwork, Gigwork, and the Wages of Service,” suggests that representations of “essential work” oscillate between sentimentalized depictions of service work as “productive” or heroic and a counter-discourse of service work as uniquely abject or degraded. It reads these contradictions through the history of feminized, racialized, and informalized wage forms like piece-rate and tips and connects that history to contemporary comparisons of service work to sex work.

Every worthwhile artistic endeavor contains, at its heart, a cosmic impossibility -- a paradox that affects the conception of the piece itself, a reason the piece cannot actually exist as envisioned. Believe it or not, this is a good thing. We'll talk about how to deal with the impossible, and why.

Rebecca Makkai’s latest novel, *I Have Some Questions for You,* is a *New York Times* Best Seller.

Please join us for a discussion of U-M English PhD candidate Deven Philbrick's dissertation chapter, "Again What Speaks of Speaking: Discrepant Metaphysics in Nathaniel Mackey's Long Song." You can sign up to receive the chapter and RSVP for the workshop here: https://forms.gle/J5bLEeA4gDw258tH8. A light lunch will be served.

Abstract:
In his seminal 1993 text Discrepant Engagement: Dissonance, Cross-Culturality and Experimental Writing, Nathaniel Mackey proposes a mode of critical reading that, "rather than suppressing resonance, dissonance, noise, seeks to remain open to them." This kind of engagement, from which the book takes its title, proceeds by combination of materials our disciplines have not normally grouped under a common rubric. Discrepant engagement is more than mere pluralism--more, that is, than an openness to variety regarding objects of scholarly reflection. It is, rather, a rigorous method of scholarly oscillation, mixing, and layering, whereby new creative possibilities are systematically opened up. In this chapter, I have two main contentions. First, I argue that Mackey's concept of discrepant engagement implies a certain metaphysical outlook, derived from a wide range of sources, including process philosophy, deconstruction, postcolonial thought, quantum mechanics, Rastafari, Sufi, and Dogon religious practice, the poetics of projective verse, and African American musical tradition, among too many others to list. Second, I argue that this metaphysical outlook governs the technical and conceptual innovations of Mackey's poetry. Mackey, as poet-metaphysician, offers a way of re-conceiving being, figuring it as "vibrational, rather than corpuscular," and in so doing, provides a model of poetic understanding with implications for both scholarly and poetic practice.

*What did I know, what did I know*
*of love’s austere and lonely offices?*

This craft talk will examine how Robert Hayden constructed this unforgettable poem, “Those Winter Sundays,” and how the poem patterns language not simply to express but to enact its content. This craft talk will also examine how patterned language—when exacted very carefully and cleverly—can imagine for survivors of private and public trauma new ways to speak truth to power through form, ambiguity, and lyric indirection.

“all their rage and malice”: Maria W. Stewart, Audience Resistance, and Nineteenth-Century African American Oratory (November 28, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/114552 114552-21833043@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 28, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Drama and Performance Interest Group

Please join us for a lecture by Dr. Laura Mielke from the University of Kansas.

African American public speakers in the nineteenth century countered the white gaze by sharing observations of audiences, whether majority Black or white, male or female—or “promiscuous.” Orators including Frederick Douglass, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Charles Langston, Henry Highland Garnet, and Sojourner Truth referred to, described, analyzed, and poeticized audiences, often beckoning ideal assemblies when actual ones proved resistant. This lecture will consider such rhetorical uses of audience before focusing on the example of Maria W. Stewart (1803-1879), who bolstered her ethos by linking contemporary responses to her words with scriptural accounts of the prophets’ reception. Approaching Stewart in the broader context of nineteenth-century Black orators’ innovative interpretations of audience allows a rich understanding of her rhetorical legacy.

Performative Typography and the Threat of Metaphorical Identity in the Poetry of Douglas Kearney (December 4, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/113532 113532-21831127@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 4, 2023 12:00pm

Please join us for a work-in-progress workshop featuring Kelly Hoffer, Helen Zell Visiting Assistant Professor of Poetry. You can sign up to receive Kelly's draft and RSVP for lunch here: https://forms.gle/LECbaJrEQJkivQsG8

Kelly will present her chapter, "Performative Typography and the Threat of Metaphorical Identity in the Poetry of Douglas Kearney." Abstract: Metaphors move, or, etymologically, “carry over.” At the level of the poetic line, the metaphor is the consummate change-maker. Metaphor is always staving off its dismissal as a mere decorative rhetorical figure, but modern critics and philosophers have affirmed its force. Nietzsche argues that metaphors constitute our notion of “truth”; Lakoff thinks of metaphor as a mechanism essential to language and conceptualizing the world; and Sontag concludes it is a force that both intervenes in, and is shaped by, societal attitudes. Despite this, recently metaphor has come under attack by poet Douglas Kearney as a figure that resists, rather than inducing, change. In his book of poetics Optic Subwoof (2022), Kearney argues the metaphorical relation promises false equivalency, substituting one form of suffering for another. As such, metaphors offer the reader a narcissistic reflection rather than a true encounter with difference. This article considers Kearney’s resistance to metaphor in the context of debates about the (im)potency of the aestheticization of suffering (Sontag) and humanistic empathy (Hartman) as engines for social change. It then turns to analyze Kearney’s own poems in light of his stated poetics. Does his visual poetry avoid the metaphor he is so suspicious of? If this poetry isn’t doing metaphor, what is it doing? And why might his form of visual poetics, or what Kearney calls “performative typography” be the structure he chooses as his intervention in today’s experimental poetic field?

SYMPOSIUM ON CREATIVE CLASSICAL PEDAGOGIES

Co-sponsored by Contexts for Classics and Topics in Classical Intersectionalities

Friday, December 8, 2023
11 am - 4pm, Classics Library, 2175 Angell Hall


11-12:00 Keynote Address

Dr. Hannah Silverblank, Brown University
How to crip the dictionary: A pedagogical proposal for ancient language study

This talk combines a meditation on the politics of Greek-English lexicography with a proposal for a speculative pedagogical collaboration called the “Anti-Lexicon.” The essential aim of the Anti-Lexicon is to challenge and expand the range of meanings that make themselves available to twenty-first century students and scholars of ancient languages and cultures, with awareness of the implicit exclusionary ideologies that have operated within the history of the discipline of Classics. Steeped in questions emerging from disability justice, crip pedagogy, and the language(s) of disability, this talk invites students and teachers of Classics to consider how we might practice non-traditional acts of lexicography as inclusive collaborations geared toward cultivating more nuanced understandings of ancient linguistic meaning in the classroom.



12:15-1:15 Panel One

Netta Berlin, “Dissident Voices in the Teaching of Greek Myth”

Fernando Gorab Leme, “Reception as a pedagogical tool to present (and challenge) the Classics and their primacy”

Amanda Kubic, “Bringing Gender and Disability Studies into the ‘Great Books’ Classroom: A Case Study of Euripides’ Hecuba and Trojan Women



1:30-2:30 Panel Two

Robert Santucci, “Fan Fiction in Ancient Rome”

Ian Moyer, “Incorporating “critical fabulation” into ancient history courses”

Sanjana Ramanathan, “Unraveling the epic: postcolonial presence through cross-temporal comparison"



2:45-3:45 Panel Three
Natalie Francis, “‘‘Difficult Parents, Protean Dance’: Theorizing Queer Kinship from Lucian’s Pan(tomime) to RF Kuang’s Babel (2022)”

Brittany Hardy, “Incorporating Principles of Ecopedagogy into Your Classics Curriculum”

Seneca’s Philosophical Circles: Time, Space, and the Sublime (January 29, 2024 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/117507 117507-21839402@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 29, 2024 4:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Classical Studies

In his talk, Professor Gareth Williams will explore certain patterns of circularity in nature by which Seneca articulates one version of the sublime in his philosophical prose works. The spatial circle and/or the temporal cycle provide a guiding model by which he creates a form of bridging between mundane, terrestrial experience on the one hand, and, on the other, the uplift towards the sublimity of cosmic consciousness. His argument focuses on the tension between these ‘higher’ and ‘lower’ viewpoints, and on the role that circularity plays in coordinating them within a coherent vision of cosmic operation.

Gareth Williams has taught at Columbia University since 1992. He received a Ph.D. in 1990 from Cambridge University for a dissertation on Ovid’s exilic writings that subsequently resulted in two books, the first Banished Voices: Readings in Ovid’s Exile Poetry (Cambridge, 1994) and the second The Curse of Exile: A Study of Ovid’s Ibis, Proceedings of the Cambridge Philological Society Supplementary Volume 19 (Cambridge, 1996).

Two distinct research phases followed, the first of which focused on the Latin ethical writings of Lucius Annaeus Seneca. Two monographs resulted, the first an edition with commentary of L. Annaeus Seneca: Selected Moral Dialogues. De Otio, De Brevitate Vitae (Cambridge, 2003); the second, The Cosmic Viewpoint: A Study of Seneca’s Natural Questions (Oxford, 2012), was awarded the Goodwin Award of Merit by the Society for Classical Studies in 2014. Most recently, among various other projects and edited volumes around Roman philosophy, his research has focused on the socio-literary culture of Renaissance Venice, an interest that resulted in the publication of Pietro Bembo on Etna: The Ascent of a Venetian Humanist (Oxford, 2017).

A general book on Ovid has recently been published: On Ovid’s Metamorphoses, New York, 2023, and a two-volume edition and annotated translation of selected writings of the fifteenth-century Venetian humanist Ermolao Barbaro is currently in press with Bloomsbury (Ermolao Barbaro, On Celibacy and On the Duty of the Ambassador, London, 2023).
