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).

Talk by Professor Julián Casanova: Historia de España en el Siglo XX (March 17, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105706 105706-21812820@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 17, 2023 4:00pm

Join us for a talk by professor Julián Casanova Friday, March 17th, 4:00pm-6:00pm in the RLL Commons on the 4th floor of the MLB, or by Zoom. The talk will be in Spanish.

The twentieth century in Spain was exceptionally varied. Many Spaniards were born during a monarchy, that of Alfonso XIII, lived through two dictatorships, a Republic and a civil war, and died with the grandson of Alfonso XIII, Juan Carlos I, as Head of State. The first third of the twentieth century was not the chronicle of a secular frustration foretold which of necessity was to finish up as a collective tragedy; neither was the brief democratic experiment of the Second Republic the inevitable prologue to the civil war; nor was the long, drawn-out Francoist dictatorship a parenthesis which, at the end of the day, favoured economic development and the advent of freedom; and the transition to democracy was never a perfect script previously written from the upper echelons of power. We historians also know that there is no
‘normal’ model of modernisation with which Spain could be contrasted as being an anomalous exception.

Anticolonial and Antiracist Approaches to Language Instruction (September 13, 2023 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/110961 110961-21825919@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 13, 2023 1:00pm
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Romance Languages & Literatures

Anticolonial and antiracist pedagogical frameworks allow us to intentionally confront and dismantle barriers to inclusive language learning. In this workshop, we will first examine how language education is connected to broader, societal-level antiracist and anticolonial movements and therefore uniquely situated to enact anticolonial and antiracist pedagogies. We will then engage in collective reflection and planning as we explore specific strategies for implementing such pedagogies while also supporting language proficiency goals. In addition to philosophical considerations, participants will leave with concrete ideas, activities, and frameworks that can be applied to a variety of languages and levels.

L. J. Randolph Jr., Ed.D., is an assistant professor of World Language Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Randolph’s teaching career has spanned 20 years, including a decade as a Spanish and ESL teacher at the secondary level. His research and teaching focus on various critical issues in language education, including teaching Spanish to heritage and native speakers, incorporating justice-centered/anti-racist/anti-colonial pedagogies, and centering Blackness and Indigenousness. Dr. Randolph is a co-editor of the book How We Take Action: Social Justice in PK-16 Classrooms. He is the president-elect of ACTFL and past president of FLANC and AATSP-NC.

Organized By: Romance Languages & Literatures

This presentation assesses the present situation on the subject of the schwa symbol “[ə]” in Italian language use, and more in general on the state of the discussion in Italy regarding its usage linked to nonbinary identities. The talk will also address the use of schwa as a political linguistic tool that draws strength from the famous (social) margins often mentioned by bell hooks.

Exposure (E. Levinas, F. Moten, K. Lamar) (October 12, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/109921 109921-21823234@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 12, 2023 4:00pm

This paper asks what happens when we examine Levinasian exposure—understood as performative articulation of political concepts—in light of what Fred Moten calls the “social aesthetics of Black radicalism.” It will consider Moten’s critique of Levinas while simultaneously “exposing” the notion of exposure to poetry and rhythm, which can be seen (or heard) as opening his thought beyond the limits that Moten ascribes to it.

The Pedagogy of Degrowth: Teaching Language and Culture as if People and The Planet Mattered (October 27, 2023 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/113787 113787-21831678@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 27, 2023 3:00pm
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Romance Languages & Literatures

“The Pedagogy of Degrowth” core theme has been analyzed and divulged by Professor Prádanos. This approach to teaching states that deep critical discussion can only happen after the students unlearn the concepts that they have acquired throughout their learning and have been ingrained in their lives. This workshop will consist of a lecture and a practical component in which attendees will create an activity, which they will be able to apply and implement in their classrooms, regardless of the language they teach.

Born in Florence in 1936, Dacia Maraini has for many years worked as one of Italy’s most committed and widely-acclaimed feminist authors. She has won various awards in recognition of her literary contributions: the Formentor Prize for L'età del malessere (1963); the Premio Fregene for Isolina (1985); the Premio Campiello and Book of the Year Award for La lunga vita di Marianna Ucrìa (1990); and the Premio Strega for Buio (1999). She co-founded the Teatro del Porcospino in the 1960s and established the feminist experimental theatre La Maddalena in Rome in 1973. Several films have been made from her books, and she herself has written screenplays for directors such as Pier Paolo Pasolini, Marco Ferreri, Carlo Di Palma, and Margarethe Von Trotta. In 2013, Irish Braschi's biographical documentary I Was Born Travelling recounted the story of Maraini's life, focusing in particular on her childhood imprisonment in a concentration camp in Japan during World War II, and the journeys she made around the world with her partner Alberto Moravia and close friends Pier Paolo Pasolini and Maria Callas.

Sguardo a Oriente is a collection of reportages, memories, and stories about various Asian countries, including Afghanistan, China, Korea, Japan, India, Iran, Palestine, Pakistan, Syria, Tibet, Turkey, Vietnam, and Yemen. In this book, Maraini's language takes on a new voice, exploring the typical pace of travel books. Her writing style reflects that of her grandmother Yoï, her father Fosco, and her mother Topazia, who all loved to travel and tell stories about their experiences and the people they met on their journeys.

This event is part of the XXIII Week of Italian Language in the World and is co-sponsored by the Consulate of Italy in Detroit, the Dante Alighieri Society of Michigan, and the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures.

The conversation will take place primarily in English, Italian and non-Italian speakers are all welcome to join!

Apalache? Appalachia? The Talimali Band of Apalachee Indians, Twenty-First Century Colonialism, and the Struggle for Tribal Sovereignty (November 9, 2023 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/114499 114499-21832980@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 9, 2023 5:00pm

Colonial studies are often conducted within the “bubble” of academia and in isolation from the descendants of the communities most dramatically impacted by the ravages of colonialism. In this talk, Kimberly C. Borchard (Randolph-Macon College) will discuss how her first monograph, Appalachia as Contested Borderland of the Early Modern Atlantic, 1528-1715, in chronicling two centuries of atrocities committed against the Apalachee people and other Native societies of the American southeast, led to a new project documenting Apalachee history since 1763. Through contact with living descendants of the people that first encountered Spanish gold-seekers in the Florida peninsula in the early sixteenth century, Borchard has transitioned from purely historical research to contemporary advocacy for living members of the Apalachee tribe, whose land claims and sovereignty continue to be systematically ignored by the U.S. government.

Kim Borchard earned her B.A. and M.A. from Ohio University and her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. She teaches courses in Spanish, Latin American colonial literature, the social issues surrounding Latin American immigration to the U.S., and humor in Spanish at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia. Her first book, Appalachia as Contested Borderland of the Early Modern Atlantic, 1528-1715 explores the European obsession with Appalachian mineral resources from 1528 to 1715, reframing Appalachian history within the fields of Latin American, early American, and Atlantic history. Her next book, tentatively titled The Talimali Band the Apalachee Indians of Louisiana: The Struggle for Survival and Federal Reinstatement of One of America's Oldest Tribes, 1763-2024, will document the history of the Apalachee diaspora in Louisiana after the tribe's expulsion from Florida in 1704.
