In conjunction with Rackham 580: Introduction to Disability Studies, UMInDS is pleased to bring outstanding scholars, activists, and scholar-activists to our campus as we explore criptographies. A word-play on terms cryptography, the study of ciphers and secret codes, and to crip, a colloquialism that assembles knowledge around nonnormative bodyminds, criptographies suggests an exploration of de-mapped ecologies of neurodivergence and nonnormative embodiment.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

Originally published in 1973, Raymond Williams's The Country and the City has generated concepts that have influenced generations of cultural critics. His magisterial survey of the construction of archetypical images of the country and the city in English literature in the context of the shift from agrarian capitalism to the industrial metropolis has justly acquired canonical status. The book’s analysis of how these images obscured the actual historical and social relations that shaped them continues to remain relevant today. Join our panelists as they discuss how the book continues to inform their own work. They explore the city/country opposition and the political interests it serves in contexts quite different from Williams’s original English focus.



Panelists:
Kathryn Babayan
Professor, History, Middle East Studies, University of Michigan

Stephen A. Berrey
Associate Professor, American Culture, History, University of Michigan

Christian de Pee
Associate Professor, History, University of Michigan

Mrinalini Sinha (chair)
Alice Freeman Palmer Professor of History, University of Michigan

Free and open to the public. This is a remote event and will take place online via Zoom.

This event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

Interested in spending spring term in the woods, reading, writing, and climbing mountains—AND getting nine upper-level credits of English?? Check out the New England Literature Program!

After lots of conversations and planning, we’ve been approved to have a real, in-person NELP this spring! There will be some relatively small changes to how we do things (some of which we’re still figuring out), and NELP students will need to commit to pre-program COVID testing and a rigorous self-quarantine so that when we’re all out in New England together, we can be guaranteed that our little community in the woods will be a safe, COVID-free bubble, basically cut off from the rest of the world. If you have questions about what NELP is exactly—and what has made it such a popular program over the years—or questions about how NELP will work this spring, please join us on Friday, February 19 at 5:00 pm for a Informational Zoom meeting where you’ll hear from some recent NELP students about their experiences in the program and have all your questions answered.

Please join us for a talk with Professor Eugenie Brinkema on radical formalism and fascination with violence in the horror film Martyrs. We will be pre-circulating two readings by Professor Brinkema and, after a brief introduction to her work, will use the majority of the hour for discussion.

Eugenie Brinkema is Associate Professor of Contemporary Literature and Media at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Her research focuses on violence, affect, sexuality, aesthetics, and ethics in texts ranging from the horror film to gonzo pornography, from structuralist film to the visual and temporal forms of terrorism. Her articles have appeared in the journals Angelaki, Camera Obscura, Criticism, differences, Discourse, film-philosophy, The Journal of Speculative Philosophy, qui parle, and World Picture. Her first book, The Forms of the Affects, was published with Duke University Press in 2014. Her second book, Life-Destroying Diagrams, explores radical formalism's relationship to horror and love, and will be coming out in November of this year (2021), also with Duke.
