FellowSpeak: “'He’d be a good rhymer': Polish Hip-Hop and the Legacy of Romanticism" (October 22, 2019 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/66073 66073-16686695@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 22, 2019 12:30pm

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

2019-20 Postdoctoral Fellow Alena Aniskiewicz gives a 30-minute talk followed by Q & A.

In 2012, the Polish rapper Doniu told *The New York Times*, “If Mickiewicz was alive today; he’d be a good rhymer.” Identifying Adam Mickiewicz—a nineteenth-century Romantic poet—as a precursor to the “rhymers” of contemporary hip-hop, Doniu’s assertion speaks to Polish hip-hop communities’ efforts to locate the international genre within national cultural traditions. This talk will examine the Romantic legacies of “freestyling” and politically engaged lyrics as they are referenced and performed in the work of Polish hip-hop artist Peja and his group Slums Attack. Capitalizing on the resonance between national and genre ideals of authenticity and speaking to and for marginalized communities, Peja positions himself as heir to the Romantic poets whose work has shaped ideas of Polishness for two hundred years. In so doing, he performs a vision a Poland that remains defined by its national past, even as it embraces a modern global music.

Agnieszka Holland and Kasia Adamik, directors. In Polish with English subtitles (128 min., 2017).

Duszejko, an eccentric retired construction engineer, an astrologist and a vegetarian, lives in a small mountain village on the Czech-Polish border. One day her beloved dogs disappear. A few months later she discovers a dead body of her neighbour, a poacher. The only traces leading to the mysterious death are those of roe deer hooves around the house…

As time goes by, more grisly killings are discovered. The victims, all hunters, belonged to the local elite. The police investigation proves ineffective. Duszejko has her own theory: all murders were committed by wild animals…

Please join us for a free film screening of "Spoor" and Central European treats to celebrate Polish author Olga Tokarczuk's 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature.

"Spoor" was adapted from Olga Tokarczuk's novel "Drag Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead." We will give away a limited number of free copies of the book to the first guests through the door.

Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews opened its core exhibition less than five years ago, but it has already attracted millions of visitors and massive and favorable media attention both in Poland and internationally, and earned the major European museum awards. However, since it opposed the so-called Holocaust complicity law in early 2018 and organized a large public program for the 50th anniversary of the 1968 “anti-Zionist campaign” in communist Poland, it has become an object of media attacks and criticism by the government. This lecture will present the processes that had led to the establishment of the museum and its remarkable success. It will examine how these processes have changed under a culture war dividing the country; a tendency for expansive government control; and a memory policy, which rejects critical coming to terms with difficult pasts as a “pedagogy of shame” and calls for a glorious vision of national history, focusing on heroism and victimhood.

Dariusz Stola is a historian and professor at the Polish Academy of Sciences. He has published ten books and more than 100 articles on the history of Polish-Jewish relations, the Holocaust, international migrations and communist regime, as well as on Polish debates about these pasts. In 2014-2019, he was the Polin Museum director.

After the fall of communism, Eastern Europeans enjoyed a deep sense of freedom and engagement, convinced that profound social and political change was underway. In 1990s Poland, boundary-pushing artists like Artur Żmijewski played an active role in shaping the new reality. As time progressed, however, the promise of transformative change was revealed to be illusory, and the communists' dominant style of politics persisted. Art became a target for political attacks because of its critical stance toward the Catholic Church and “wild” capitalism.

How should artists react in this increasingly authoritarian situation? Resist? Adapt? Or perhaps create a sort of hybrid position? In this lecture, Żmijewski will discuss the relationship between his art and political engagement in the context of the past thirty years.

Artur Żmijewski was born in Warsaw in 1966. He graduated from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts under the supervision of Professor Grzegorz Kowalski. A multimedia artist, he uses primarily photography and film to explore the line between fiction and documentary. Żmijewski is also an accomplished curator and art critic. He is one of the founding members of the art journal "Czereja," serves as the artistic editor of "Krytyka Polityczna," and directed the 7th Berlin Biennale. In 1995, Żmijewski was a fellow at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam; he received the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Per L'Arte Prize for his work "An Eye for an Eye." In 2005, his “Repetition” was shown in the Polish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, and two years later his film *Them* was screened at Documenta in Kassel. Żmijewski also participated in the 14th edition of Documenta, presenting his films *Glimpse* and *Realism*. From 2007-2008, he was a DAAD Artist in Residence in Berlin where he prepared his project “Democracies.” In 2010 he received the Ordway Prize from the New Museum in New York and Creative Link for the Arts. Żmijewski's films can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Neue Pinakothek in Munich, the Tate Modern in London, the Rubell Family Foundation in Miami, Zachęta National Gallery of Art in Warsaw, Erste Bank Collection in Vienna, and the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris.

CANCELLED - CREES Noon Lecture. Epic Proportions: Translating Poland’s National Epic for the 21st Century (March 25, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71012 71012-17768619@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 25, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

This talk will offer a practitioner’s reflections on what it means to translate an epic poem in the twenty-first century. What can epic poems of the past mean to us today, and how specifically is that meaning transmuted in the crossing of linguistic, cultural, and temporal borders? Using the experience of translating Adam Mickiewicz’s 1834 Polish-language epic narrative poem "Pan Tadeusz" as both starting point and finish line, Johnston will consider such underconceptualized aspects of translation as imagined and actual readership; the role of aesthetic pleasure in the reading experience; and translation as trespass.

Bill Johnston translates from Polish, working in a wide range of genres and historical periods. His awards include the PEN Translation Prize and the Best Translated Book Award, both for Wiesław Myśliwski’s novel "Stone Upon Stone" (2012); the Found in Translation Prize for Tomasz Różycki’s mock-epic poem "Twelve Stations" (2016); the National Translation Award for Adam Mickiewicz’s epic in verse "Pan Tadeusz" (2019); fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities; and, for his overall contributions to promoting Polish literature and culture, the Transatlantyk Prize (2014) and the Officer’s Cross of the Order of Merit (2012). He teaches literary translation at Indiana University.
