"Jane Miller’s eleventh book, Who Is Trixie the Trasher? and Other Questions, is a hyper-political and brassy collection of poems that questions authority, sexism, ageism, and romance in the face of mortality. Differing from her earlier poems in their range and urgency, this collection retains Miller’s signature lyric voice, personal yet thrilling in its associative leaps. Her intimate language illuminates and soothes our current trauma―especially as experienced by women―where nightmarish reality must answer to human dignity."

Jane Miller will read from her newest book, speak about contemporary poetry, and answer questions.

Coffee and tea will be served.

Reading by playwright in German
English translation by Neil Blackadder
Performed by students and faculty of the School of Music, Theatre, & Dance: Kris Danford, Liam Loomer, Sarah Prendergast, Malcolm Tulip

"And so now here we are lying on this rest area like a whale, a stranded whale. The flesh starts to rot when we can’t keep driving. As long as you’re moving, you don’t decay."

A truck driver has to stop at a motorway service area due to a disastrous accident. Frustrated by the forced standstill, he watches the nightly events. An insurance inspector, obsessed with any traffic accidents, investigates the so-called death curve at the service area. But there is as well Beate, the operator of the rest stop, who shares a dark secret with Jayne, an auto-aggressive television actress addicted to high-speed.

Ferdinand Schmalz’s ‘canned meat’ is a metaphor for the paradox of mobility in times of neoliberalism. One can get everywhere, but never to one self – thus, the only possibility left to achieve authenticity is the life-threatening collision.

Ferdinand Schmalz is an Austrian author and playwright. His works include “am beispiel der butter,” “dosenfleisch,” “herzerlfresser,” and “jedermann (stirbt).” His plays are staged at the leading theatres in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, e.g. Deutsches Theater, Burgtheater Wien, Schauspiel Leipzig, Schauspielhaus Zürich. He won several awards for his writing, beyond others the Retzhofer Dramapreis (2013), the Ingeborg Bachmann Preis (2017), and the Ludwig-Mülheims-Theaterpreis (2018). For “dosenfleisch” he was nominated for the most prestigious drama award in the German-speaking countries, the Mülheimer Dramatikerpreis. Furthermore, “dosenfleisch” was invited to the Autorentheatertage in Berlin.

The reading is sponsored by the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures. These events are free and open to the public. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate, please contact 734-764-8018 or germandept@umich.edu at least one week in advance.

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

Please join the Nineteenth-Century Forum for a discussion of English PhD candidate Ross Martin's dissertation introduction: "American Demonology after the Ancients."

Abstract: My dissertation introduction, "American Demonology after the Ancients," follows the Demonic as a thread of interest traversing the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Henry David Thoreau, and Herman Melville. By Demonic, I mean a primal phenomenon which manifests itself in ontological contradiction as something. (In Emerson, the something is Tragic art; in Fuller, it is Leila; in Thoreau, it is the arrowhead; in Melville, it is the whale.) The ontological paradox through which the Demonic manifests an identity—unity and variety—is not resolved. Rather, by disclosing itself (as a third estate of being) in an insurmountable contrast, the Demonic stages an upheaval in thinking whereby pure difference is affirmed. By inciting affirmation in the context of (Antebellum) Romantic American literature, this account of the Demonic entails the overturning of Platonic demonology, with its negative relation to life. I thus trace two ontological perspectives, the negative and the affirmative, and the associated ethical orientations in the register of demonism. But by reversing Platonism through demonology, American writers imperil the logics dependent upon it, including dialectics and the univocity underlying recent criticism. For these reasons, the shadow discourse that I follow inverts the status of thought and makes Emerson’s seemingly naïve proclamation in Nature (1836), that America is a place for “new thoughts,” a completely serious claim.

Key names: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Henry David Thoreau, Herman Melville, Heraclitus, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Baruch Spinoza, Emanuel Swedenborg, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger, and Gilles Deleuze.
Key terms: demonology, affirmation, fate, and rebirth.
Key disciplinary interests: American literature, Romanticism, ecology, animal studies, comparative literature, philosophy, and classics.

To RSVP and request a copy of Ross's introduction please email Evan Radeen (eradeen@umich.edu).

“Konfrontation mit meinem Mitläufertum”: Paratextual Self-Encounters in Diaries of the Second World War (January 18, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59502 59502-14745935@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 18, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Germanic Languages & Literatures

When writers publish their diaries years after writing them, they often append a preface or afterword, a layer of retrospective reflection that complicates the already unique temporality of the diary’s ever-shifting present. The focus of this talk is on the self-encounters that take place in diaristic paratexts from non-Jewish Germans who wrote diaries during the Second World War. The diary’s paratexts highlight the discontinuous nature of the self, the various ways individuals position themselves as Zeitzeugen, and the diary’s function as a space for writerly self-construction in the context of German Aufarbeitung der Vergangenheit.

CJS Thursday Noon Lecture Series | Poetry, Class, and Politics: Making Haiku into “Literature” in Meiji Japan (January 24, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58147 58147-14433276@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 24, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

Known for its emphasis on nature and the seasons, as well as its accessibility and broad appeal, haiku is now one of Japan’s best-known cultural exports. These ideas, though, as well as the scholarly narratives that have accounted for haiku’s rise, are very much a victor’s history, one formulated by men such as the famous poet Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902). In this talk, Robert Tuck provides a revisionist history of modern haiku, highlighting both its widespread use as political discourse in Meiji media and the divisive rhetoric of social class that accompanied its rise to the status of “modern literature.”

Robert Tuck is Assistant Professor of Modern Japanese Literature and Culture at Arizona State University. His research centers on 19th and 20th century literature, especially poetry, media, and Sino-Japanese genres of writing. His most recent work is Idly Scribbling Rhymers: Poetry, Print, and Community in 19th Century Japan (Columbia University Press, 2018).

Beautifully epic, timely, and outstanding in its breadth and scope, this story truly conveys what it means to be African American.” Please read Part I (pages 1-85) before the first class.

Many solitaries populate Charlotte Smith’s poems: perhaps the most famous are the hermits in her poem Beachy Head. In this talk, I follow Smith’s solitaries through the lonely landscapes of her poetry—along riverbanks, into caves, and finally into the sea—tracing how she repeatedly uses the image of the “shell” as a conceit for the poet’s lyre, in order to theorize lyric. Although Smith seems to emphasize solitude as singularity, I show how she makes supposedly singular voices multiple. Allusion, quotation, and self-quotation abound, constituting a playful, echoic poetics, in which the same lines are sometimes voiced by different characters, echoing across the distance between different texts. Her vision of loneliness questions the assumption that singular minds are constrained by singular bodies. Challenging our understanding of Romantic loneliness, Smith presents a model for how Romantic poets were lonely together.

In March of 2018, The New York Times Book Review featured 15 novels by women that their critics see as “opening new realms to us, whose books suggest and embody unexplored possibilities in form, feeling and knowledge.” They say these books set the agenda for the 21st century. So the question for this class is: what does that agenda look like?
Before the first meeting I will send the NYT article to new participants so they can read the short reviews of each novel. Sharon Quiroz will indicate the six books we will read in Session I. At the first meeting of Session II, we will select the next set, to continue with our research question. We’ll read approximately 150 pages a week, so we can cover most novels in two to three weeks. We’ll have discussion, small group analysis in class, occasional lectures on style, structure, etc.
This study group for those 50 and over will meet for 90 minutes on Thursdays from January 31 through April 18.
Instructor Sharon Quiroz has a PhD. in English, has published poetry and short stories, and is currently working on her second novel while she tries to sell the first one.

My translation of Hindi Dalit writer, Omprakash Valmiki’s autobiography, Joothan, was published by Samya in 2003. Columbia University Press bought the American rights for the book and appointed an editor to edit my translation. My talk will look at some of the changes the American editor made to my translation. As I discovered, by comparing the Indian and American version, the changes are multiple, and, from my perspective, diminish the beauty and the power of this major Dalit text. Comparing the two versions also brings out the sad fact that certain cultural contexts require an open mind that does not rush to judgment when challenged to move out of its ‘comfort zone.’

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Germanic Languages & Literatures

This lecture situates Auerbach in the context of the Christian Existentialism of Marburg during his pre-Istanbul time there and then sets his readings of Augustine in conversation with the Augustines of Hannah Arendt and Hans Jonas, both of whom were influenced by Heidegger’s Augustine. In the process, it will extract Auerbach out of the critical impasse into which he has been wedged between a mandarin Eurocentric and a pre-post colonial exilic consciousness. The theo-philosophical conversations in which he was engaged in his early work had a robust afterlife in the magisterial Mimesis (1946), and help explain the huge popularity of that book when it was translated into English in 1953.

Jane O. Newman is Professor of Comparative Literature at University of California, Irvine. She is interested in dialogues between the pre- and early modern past and the modern and postmodern present. Her primary fields are Renaissance and Early Modern English, French, German, Italian and neo-Latin literature and culture.

Three eighteenth-century texts will serve as points of reference in an attempt to map some of the issues involved in the study of early modern Greek literature. These texts come with a number of challenges – philological, methodological, hermeneutic – while also being fascinating literary artifacts. At the very least, they require a kind of treatment that would do justice to the determined interplay of what this talk will identify as their key features: a creative engagement with classical forms and genres; a programmatic interest in European paradigms; and a firm grasp of the realities and exigencies of the Ottoman status quo.

In these sessions, participants will discover how writers from around the world see the world and how they perceive the past, the present, and the future of their societies. Do we, educated Americans, see our world in ways similar or different from the ways those writers see it? On what do we agree or disagree with these writers?
Let us fly together with these writers and look at the world through their perceptive eyes. Our first journey will be in the world of a novel titled Exit West. Our tour guide will be the book’s author Mohsin Hamid. Please come to the first meeting having read the novel and ready to fly. Subsequent readings/discussions led by instructor Adnan Salh will be determined at the first meeting, according to the group’s interests. This Study Group is for those 50 and over and will meet select Tuesdays, 1:30 - 3:30 p.m., February 5, March 5, and April 2.

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

On Friday, February 8 from 12:30-2:30pm, the Visual Culture Workshop is pleased to host "Looking Critically Now," an informal lunchtime symposium of graduate student works-in-progress. (Lunch starts at 12:30, discussion at 1.)

Conceived as a launch to our 2019 conference season, the event features graduate students presenting presenting 8-10 minutes each of their work in progress. These brief provocations will draw from seminar papers, creative projects, and dissertation chapters! After all students present, we'll divide into small groups to offer detailed feedback, questions, and encouragement. Presenters will be bringing the group their live questions: issues they're still grappling with / excited about in the work. Other VCW members and guests will meet each project on its own terms, even as we think across projects about shared themes animating our work as scholars of visual culture.

Ethics for a Learning Health Care System: The “Common Purpose” Framework (February 12, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59180 59180-14694666@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 12, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Department of Learning Health Sciences

There is increased interest among health care institutions to transitioning to become learning health systems. In this process, however, there are increased practical and moral challenges from using the traditional definitions of “research” vs “practice” to determine which activities within such systems require IRB review and other ethics oversight, and which do not. As health systems more deliberately integrate care delivery with ongoing data collection, a set of ethics commitments for this integrated approach must be articulated. This presentation will provide an example of an ethics framework for learning health care and underscore how also being guided by commitments to transparency, engagement, and accountability around the ongoing learning are also essential, ethically.

The LHS Collaboratory is co-sponsored by the Department of Learning Health Sciences, the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation and the Office of Research at the University of Michigan.

Messianic Minimalism: Anecdotes of the Coming World (Benjamin, Bloch, Blumenberg) (February 15, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60669 60669-14937151@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 15, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Germanic Languages & Literatures

Hans Blumenberg's 1988 book The Saint Matthew Passion, while ostensibly concerned with the possible, secular reception of Bach’s masterpiece, pursues a series of 'theological lines of flight' via anecdotes, insights, and apercus generated by often heterodox theological debates and their literary receptions. One such line of flight is the retraction of the passion itself in Gersholm Scholem’s anecdote about the advent of the messiah in which almost nothing changes, as retold by Benjamin, Bloch, and now Blumenberg. Here Blumenberg returns to his earlier concerns with Gnosticism (Legitmacy, 1966) and considers a different answer to what has gone so wrong with creation that it needs to be destroyed.

Paul Fleming is Professor of Comparative Literature and German Studies as well as the Taylor Family Director of the Society for the Humanities. He has published monographs on Exemplarity and Mediocrity: The Art of the Average from Bourgeois Tragedy to Realism (2009) and The Pleasures of Abandonment: Jean Paul and the Life of Humor (2006) along with edited volumes on Hans Blumenberg, Siegfried Kracauer, the scholars around Stefan George, and Ulrich Peltzer. He is currently co-translating Blumenberg’s The Saint Matthew Passion for Cornell Press as well as completing a book-length project that examines the use of the anecdote in and as theory with respect to questions of exemplarity, evidence, history, and rhetoric.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Ethics, Identity and Sociality in Wuna Wu’s First-person Documentaries (February 19, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59913 59913-14797378@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 19, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Touted as a representative of the “Me” generation of documentary makers in 21st-century Taiwan, Wuna Wu has frequently appeared as both the filmmaker and a major social actor in her documentaries. This talk examines her first-person positioning in three prize-winning films: “Happy or Not” (2002), “Farewell 1999” (2003), and “Let’s Fall in Love” (2008). I argue that Wu has experimented with a broad variety of first-person positionings, which underscore the question of documentary ethics, the importance of mediation for self-identity, and the opportunities for building sociality and community through documentary.

Angela Naimou Lecture (February 21, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/51294 51294-12041250@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 21, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

Can modes of lamentation in poetry contribute to current thought on international border regimes? How do literary forms and temporalities of grief rework our understanding of border regimes as they bind and fracture political collectivities? This talk takes up such questions in readings of Aracelis Girmay’s The Black Maria (2016) and Sara Uribe’s Antígona González (2012, transl. 2016). It considers how Girmay and Uribe each construct a poetics of citation and assemblage that rework grief over the violence of border regimes, from the militarized deportation regime for African migrants in Israel to the U.S.-led transnational drug war that both prompts and exploits border politics. Such poetry incorporates ancient Greek narratives and contemporary geopolitical realities to press against humanitarian and citizenship-centered understandings of mourning, justice, and sovereignty. The talk explores how Girmay and Uribe’s poetry of grief envision a future-oriented politics of the living in a time of war and global apartheid on the right to move.


Angela Naimou is Associate Professor of English at Clemson University and co-editor of the journal Humanity. She is the author of Salvage Work: U.S. and Caribbean Literatures amid the Debris of Legal Personhood (Fordham University Press 2015), which won the Association for the Study of the Arts of the Present (ASAP) Book Prize and received Honorable Mention for the MLA’s William Sanders Scarborough Award. Her current book project examines contemporary literature as it reconceptualizes migrant and refugee futurity. In addition to co-editing the journal Humanity, she also serves on the board of ASAP and is an associate editor of the journal Contemporary Literature.

They will be joined by English PhD candidate Laura Strout, who will both share the perspective she has acquired as a copy editor for VLC and moderate the discussion afterward. This roundtable will be of interest not only to those who study Victorian literature but also to anyone who hopes to publish an article in the near or distant future, anyone with an interest in editorial work, and anyone curious about the rewards and challenges of scholarly collaboration.

“Believing Romola” considers George Eliot’s interest in what it means to change one’s mind—or someone else’s—in relation to recent debates about reading and the politics of critique. Ultimately it argues that Eliot’s great novel of belief provides us with new ways to understand the stakes involved in "post-critique" as well as some of its potential limitations.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Nam Center for Korean Studies

In 1913 the renowned novelist Yi Kwang-su adapted Japanese translations of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin. In this work Yi borrows the language of the Japanese colonizer and presents US slavery as a symbolic form of the colonial condition in Korea. But while creating a sympathetic connection between the enslaved and the colonized, Yi refuses to identify Koreans with African Americans as a means of counteracting the colonized’s own subaltern status. This talk explores the entanglements between U.S. sentimentalism, Japanese colonialism, and Korean nationalism in order to define the promises and liabilities of translating blackness in a transpacific context.

Jang Wook Huh is Assistant Professor of American Ethnic Studies at the University of Washington. He is currently working on a book that examines the literary connections between black liberation struggles in the U.S. and anticolonial movements in Korea during the Japanese and American occupations.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

At this opening reception for the exhibit Free Poems and Functional Art: 50 Years of The Alternative Press, press founder Ken Mikolowski will give a talk about his work, followed by a Q&A and time to browse the exhibit and chat. Light refreshments will be provided.

In 1969, Ann and Ken Mikolowski set up a 1904 letterpress in their home and began The Alternative Press, an experimental press publishing work by artists and writers from Detroit's Cass Corridor, alongside key voices from the Beat and Black Mountain schools of poetry. Their unusual mailings included bookmarks, broadsides, bumper stickers, and postcards, including a unique project where artists were set loose with 500 blank postcards to turn into one-of-a-kind pieces. The exhibit presents work produced by the press, from early free poems to the final issue of the mailings, as well as correspondence and drafts that provide unique insight into the process of producing these artworks. All materials are from The Alternative Press Records held in the Special Collections Research Center.

Living Poetry / Braving Joy: Naomi Long Madgett + Gabrielle Civil (March 19, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59388 59388-14737056@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 19, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Hopwood Awards Program

Naomi Long Madgett and Gabrielle Civil will join us in the Hopwood Room for a public conversation about living a literary life: What does it mean to be a black woman / poet today? How has the role or impact of poetry changed? What’s most vital in a poet’s education? How can we rethink and reclaim publishing? How we can bridge the divides between different schools of poetry? How can we reconcile the ivory tower and the community center? What can poetry do in our communities? What good books are we reading (songs are we singing, art are we seeing)? What do we love? How can we brave joy?

About the presenters:

Mentored by poet Langston Hughes, Naomi Long Madgett moved to Detroit in 1946. In the 1960s, she joined a group of African American writers who met regularly at Boone House, including Margaret Danner, Dudley Randall and Oliver LaGrone. Madgett was named Detroit poet laureate in 2001. In her poetry, influenced by the work of Emily Dickinson, John Keats, and Langston Hughes, Madgett often engages themes of civil rights and African American spirituality. She is the author of numerous collections of poetry, including One and the Many (1956), Exits and Entrances (1978), and Octavia and Other Poems (1988, reissued and expanded in 2002). In 1972, Madgett founded Lotus Press. She edited the anthology Adam of Ifé: Black Women in Praise of Black Men (1992), and her own work was included in the anthologies The Poetry of the Negro, 1746–1949 (1949, edited by Langston Hughes) and Ten: Anthology of Detroit Poets (1968, edited by Oliver LaGrone). A selection of her papers, documenting her poetry career and the history of Lotus Press, is held by the University of Michigan’s Special Collections Library.

Gabrielle Civil is a black feminist performance artist, originally from Detroit, MI. She has premiered fifty original solo and collaborative performance works around the world. Signature themes included race, body, art, politics, grief, and desire. Since 2014, she has been performing “Say My Name” (an action for 270 abducted Nigerian girls)” as an act of embodied remembering. She is the author of Swallow the Fish and Tourist Art (with Vladimir Cybil Charlier). She currently teaches Creative Writing and Critical Studies at the California Institute of the Arts. The aim of her work is to open up space.Experiments in Joy is forthcoming from CCM Press.

Dialogues in Contemporary Thought V | On Reading, will consist of two lectures. "Alphabetographies," by Prof. Cadava, will consider the photographic work of Susan Meiselas in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Kurdistan, and investigate her claim of being "attracted like a magnet to mass graves, destroyed villages, the missing." Prof. Cadava will then consider why photography is a privileged means of documenting violence, and the forms of resistance made available by it. "We have been misreading the camps," by Prof. Paloff, will re-evaluate the moral claims attached to camp literature, and propose an alternative ethics that embraces the reader's individual experience, and the community's memory of the past. The lectures are open to everyone. Questions - email: srdjan@umich.edu

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

An article workshop with Zahid Chaudhary (Associate Professor of English, Princeton)

This article analyzes the discourse concerning the assimilation of Muslim minorities in the United States and suggests that calls for assimilation are solicitations for a form of selfrenunciation and sacrifice. Yet such solicitations occur against the economic and political background of neoliberalism, in which all citizens are asked to make sacrifices for the sake of economic health. How does one read, then, the discourse of Muslim assimilation in light of the psychological, political, and economic realities of neoliberalism? The article explores the transformation of the so called “Jewish question” into the contemporary concern with the “Muslim problem.” Drawing on Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer’s reflections on the affinities between capitalism and fascism (especially their reading of Odysseus), as well as Sigmund Freud’s reflections on narcissism and group psychology, the article analyzes the figure of the sacrificial victim in the context of neoliberalism’s authoritarian tendencies, and argues that sacrificial figuration allows us to think past the polarizations (West/rest; Muslims/Trump supporters) of our contemporary historical moment.

Keywords: Islam, minority, assimilation, neoliberalism, psychoanalysis

Sponsored by Critical Contemporary Studies and the Global Postcolonial Collective with generous contributions from the Nineteenth-Century Forum

Critical Visualities 3 (March 28, 2019 9:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/60584 60584-14910398@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2019 9:30am
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

The Visual Culture Workshop (VCW) convenes the third annual Critical Visualities Conference in order to ask the timely questions: “What are the political dimensions of the affective charge between art and its audience? Between the critic and the art she engages? How does it feel to look ‘critically’ now?”

Now in its third year, Critical Visualities has grown into a major national conference, drawing top faculty from across the country in the fields of American studies, African American studies, visual culture studies, performance studies, media studies, and literary studies. Designed to offer the University of Michigan community an unparalleled opportunity to engage with these scholars in an unusually intimate setting, Critical Visualities incites new insights, new questions, and new collaborations for presenters and audience members alike.

As always, Critical Visualities is particularly attune to the ways in which our interdisciplinary work enables us to engage with current events marked by feelings of shock and urgency about ongoing racial injustice and gendered violence.

Speakers include: Sarah Bay-Cheng (Bowdoin); Kimberly Juanita Brown (Mt. Holyoke); Zahid Chaudhry (Princeton); Laurie Gries (University of Colorado); Nicole Fleetwood (Rutgers); and UM's Sara Blair (English), Vera Grant (Deputy Director, Curatorial Affairs, UMMA), Joan Kee (History of Art), and Lisa Nakamura (American Culture).

Whitman (April 1, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59029 59029-14659262@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 1, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

An expeditious survey of Whitman’s career as a poet. We’ll observe the daring effervescence of Song of Myself, the stateliness of Crossing Brooklyn Ferry, the poetic daring of The Sleepers and Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking, the Calamus love poems, the Civil War poems, and later efforts by the “good grey poet.” Though Professor Emeritus McIntosh thinks of Whitman as a great poet, he’s also aware of his blatant nationalism and other shortcomings. Readings will be from the 1855 Leaves of Grass and another, more complete edition. This Study Group led by Jim McIntosh is for those 50 and over and will meet Mondays, 1:00 -3:00 p.m., April 1 - April 29.

Skin Stories: Tess of the D’Urbervilles + Under the Skin (April 2, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62158 62158-15304540@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 2, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Nineteenth Century Forum

Please join the Nineteenth Century Forum for a public lecture given by Alicia Christoff, Assistant Professor of English at Amherst College.

It may seem strange to pair Jonathan Glazer’s unsettling science fiction film Under the Skin (2013), about an alien inhabiting the body of a woman (played by Scarlett Johannson), with Thomas Hardy’s much more terrestrial Tess of the D’Urbervilles (1891). This talk, however, brings the film and novel together to show that Tess too is a skin story: a story of “beautiful feminine tissue,” bodily surfaces, phenomenological sensation, the male gaze, female agency, embodiment, and their violation – and an implicit story of racialization as well. The talk builds on Kaja Silverman’s foundational essay on female subjectivity and specularity in Tess by testing it against Under the Skin, which I argue eerily re-echoes many of the Victorian novel’s central images and tropes. More largely, I am interested in how the act of pairing Victorian and modern texts can provide Victorian studies scholars ways of engaging new work in critical theory – here, recent theorizations of race, blackness, and visuality – that is sometimes felt to be debarred by our objects of study.

Stephane Robolin Lecture (April 3, 2019 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59708 59708-14780087@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 3, 2019 11:30am
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

In this talk, Stephane Robolin (Rutgers) will explore the role of libraries as institutions central to the circulation of banned literature in apartheid South Africa, as part of a larger inquiry into the clandestine lives of public organizations. The primary focus will be the U.S. Information Service Library in Johannesburg, one of a global network of libraries funded by the United States to wage the Cold War through film, literature, and journalism. This talk will consider how a library designed to disseminate propaganda by the U.S. government in a white minority-governed country could simultaneously serve and transgress the missions of both states. What was the function of African American literature in its stacks? What role could, say, The Autobiography of Malcolm X play in downtown Johannesburg? And what does it tell us about how the careful curation of culture works (and doesn’t) in contexts of political resistance? And what, if anything, does it reveal about the nature of cultural institutions?

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

Please join us for a public lecture by poet, scholar, and 2018 Pulitzer Prize finalist Evie Shockley.

This talk comes from Shockley's project on "Black Graphics," which considers the combined visual-verbal strategies contemporary black artists have used to negotiate problems associated with representations of embodied blackness. Here, she takes up the most recent books by Renee Gladman, reading them alongside work by Hank Willis Thomas and June Jordan, to bring Gladman's black feminist thinking into view.

Evie Shockley is Associate Professor of English at Rutgers University, New Brunswick and was a 2018 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Her books include the critical study "Renegade Poetics: Black Aesthetics and Formal Innovation in African American Poetry" and three volumes of poetry -- most recently, "semiautomatic," published by Wesleyan in 2017, and "the new black," winner of the 2012 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award in Poetry. Her creative and critical writing has been published widely and supported by fellowships from the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture/NYPL, the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), the Millay Colony for the Arts, and the MacDowell Colony. She is currently at work on a project entitled "Black Graphics: Slavery, Colorblindness, and Contemporary Black Aesthetics.”

This event is sponsored by Critical Contemporary Studies, the Poetry and Poetics Workshop, the Helen Zell Writers' Program, and the English Department.

This international conference examines the critical role of media in the making and remaking of Ming-Qing literature. Invited scholars will bring to light the supports and surfaces that shaped sensory experiences of the “literary.” Some panels will trace the lives of literary works from the oral to the analog to the digital; others will consider how early modern readers understood what we now call “media.” Over the course of two days, the conference proceeds from the early modern moment to rethink 21st-century understandings of “new” media.

Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

Please join Critical Contemporary Studies to discuss a paper on James Baldwin by visiting scholar Mahmoud Zidan

This paper discusses different models of resistance that James Baldwin proffers in his 1974 novel, If Beale Street Could Talk. In response to the power of the white gaze against which African Americans have always struggled, Baldwin launches in this novel a three-part framework of resistance. First, the narrative exposes the deleterious effects of that gaze on African Americans through underscoring the state’s visible violence. Second, it opens up spaces for the counter-gaze as a means of resistance to the state’s racist gaze, even as it shows the limitations of the exclusive use of counter-gazing as a resistance strategy. Third, Baldwin’s narrative also employs sound-based resistance to more effectively counteract the damage that the white gaze causes in the lives of his black characters. In this context, I argue that Baldwin’s tripartite framework of resistance is effective, as it does not privilege sight over sound and in so doing does not adopt the same gaze-based framework of the oppressor. On the contrary, what If Beale demonstrates, I show, is how to reshape the contours of resistance, engaging—wittingly or unwittingly—philosophical approaches that concern themselves with auditory and visual ways of knowing and resisting power, which I call audision. While lending itself to the theoretical and thematic aspects of the novel, this tripartite framework extends as well to the novel’s structure. Baldwin produces an art form that urges readers not only to read but also to listen, a new novelistic form that opens up possibilities for multisensory resistance without (fore)closing them.

Please email Hayley O'Malley (hayleyom@umich.edu) or Joshua Miller (joshualm@umich.edu) if you are interested in receiving the paper, which will be available on Monday, April 8th.

Mahmoud Zidan is an assistant professor in the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Jordan. His interests include African American literature during the Cold War, postcolonial studies, Palestinian literature, native-speakerism, and contemporary fiction.

Please join us as we celebrate the winners of the 2018-19 Hopwood Awards.

Following the announcement of the awards, there will be a lecture from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Hilton Als and a light reception. Free to attend and open to all!

--

Hilton Als began contributing to The New Yorker in 1989, writing pieces for ‘The Talk of the Town,’ he became a staff writer in 1994, theatre critic in 2002, and lead theater critic in 2012. Week after week, he brings to the magazine a rigorous, sharp, and lyrical perspective on acting, playwriting, and directing. With his deep knowledge of the history of performance—not only in theatre but in dance, music, and visual art—he shows us how to view a production and how to place its director, its author, and its performers in the ongoing continuum of dramatic art. His reviews are not simply reviews; they are provocative contributions to the discourse on theatre, race, class, sexuality, and identity in America.

Before coming to The New Yorker, Als was a staff writer for the Village Voice and an editor-at-large at Vibe. Als edited the catalogue for the 1994-95 Whitney Museum of American Art exhibition “Black Male: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary American Art.” His first book, The Women, was published in 1996. His book, White Girls, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in 2014 and winner of the 2014 Lambda Literary Award for Non-fiction, discusses various narratives of race and gender. He is author of the introduction to the Penguin Classics edition of The Early Stories of Truman Capote. He is also guest editor for the 2018 Best American Essays (Mariner Books, October 2, 2018). He also wrote Andy Warhol: The Series, a book containing two previously unpublished television scripts for a series on the life of Andy Warhol.

In 1997, the New York Association of Black Journalists awarded Als first prize in both Magazine Critique/Review and Magazine Arts and Entertainment. He was awarded a Guggenheim for creative writing in 2000 and the George Jean Nathan Award for Dramatic Criticism for 2002-03. In 2016, he received Lambda Literary’s Trustee Award for Excellence in Literature, in 2017 Als won the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism, and in 2018 the Langston Hughes Medal.

In 2009, Als worked with the performer Justin Bond on “Cold Water,” an exhibition of paintings, drawings, and videos by performers, at La MaMa Gallery. In 2010, he co-curated “Self-Consciousness,” at the VeneKlasen/Werner gallery, in Berlin, and published “Justin Bond/Jackie Curtis.” In 2015, he collaborated with the artist Celia Paul to create “Desdemona for Celia by Hilton,” an exhibition for the Metropolitan Opera’s Gallery Met. In 2016, his debut art show “One Man Show: Holly, Candy, Bobbie and the Rest” opened at the Artist’s Institute. In 2017 he curated "Alice Neel, Uptown" at the David Zwirner Gallery in New York City.

Als is an associate professor of writing at Columbia University’s School of the Arts and has taught at Yale University, Wesleyan, and Smith College. He lives in New York City.

Her essay collection, The Fluency of Light: Coming of Age in a Theater of Black and White was published by the University of Iowa Press in 2013. Her most recent essay collection, Dreaming of Ramadi in Detroit, was just chosen by Maggie Nelson as the winner of the 1913 Open Prose Contest and will be published in 2017. She is currently a Helen Zell Visiting Professor in Creative Nonfiction at the University of Michigan.
