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.

"Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Schwa?" Exploring the Possibilities of a Gender-Inclusive Italian (September 20, 2023 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/108989 108989-21820695@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 20, 2023 11:30am
Location: Off Campus Location
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
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Romance Languages & Literatures

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

“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.

Imagination or Insurrection: Reparations and Racial Value (February 1, 2024 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/115731 115731-21835441@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 1, 2024 4:30pm

Organized By: Romance Languages & Literatures

This talk goes beyond fiscal interventions on the topic of reparations. I am thinking through three distinct philosophical threads: Alain Locke’s ‘value theory,’ Leonard Harris’ ‘insurrectionist ethics,’ and Drucilla Cornell’s ‘imaginary domain.’ My purpose is to argue that a philosophical reading outside of fiscal interventions is to redefine how we critique Black social value through the intricacies of resistance, occupancy of space, and full citizenship for those who are historically racialized as Black. Therefore, I will be looking at the art of talking back an ethical undertaking that will inform the reparative justice that will see Black people as fully humanized subjects. Arguably, to think this through is to Imagine a domain of Black futurity and value.

This is a hybrid event

Born and raised in Rome, in the neighborhood of Torpignattara, Amir is the son of an Egyptian immigrant father and an Italian mother. He initially approached hip-hop culture in the 1990s, first as a b-boy/breaker, and then as a writer for Roma’s graffiti crew The Riot Vandals. He is among the founders of the legendary Rome Zoo, a group made of Rome’s rap artists such as Colle Der Fomento, Cor Veleno, Flaminio Maphia, Piotta, and many more.

In June 2017, Amir published his first book, *Vivo per questo* (Chiarelettere). An autobiographical novel that has been well-received by Italian literary critics and was praised by Internazionale as one of the best books for young adults in 2017. Now in English translation, Amir will be presenting his book at the University of Michigan. *The English translation is the culmination of a multi-year project undertaken by multiple advanced Italian classes across the US. *

A *free* live performance by Amir will follow the book launch at Wayne State University. For more information see here.

For those interested, there will also be a Zoom workshop hosted by WSU in the morning from 10:30AM -12:10 PM. Please email Giulia Riccò (gricco@umich.edu) for more information.

Thinking with Serfs in Late Medieval Poetry (February 14, 2024 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/116400 116400-21836723@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 14, 2024 4:00pm

This talk will explore the unstable opposition between franc and serf, focusing on the conceptual affordances of the latter. I seek to trace the contours of a cultural imaginary in which the serf looms large, exercising a frightening or uncanny power over its counterpart, the franc, whose status is never firmly or definitively acquired. Reading works by, for instance, Philippe de Vitry, Eustache Deschamps, and Pierre d’Ailly I will propose that the serf is one who engages in and benefits from unalienated labor and who experiences satisfaction (souffisance) with his material conditions. The notion of the serf has implications for thinking about both sovereignty and tyranny, and functions moreover to foreground the awareness of precarity which, I suggest, haunts the elite readership of the late 14th century.

Speaker: Julián Gutiérrez Albilla, Professor of Spanish and Portuguese, Gender Studies and Comparative Literature at University of Souther California. His interests include Spanish and Latin American Cinema, Visual Culture, Gender Studies, Queer Theory, Psychoanalysis, Trauma and Memory. Among his books are Aesthetics, Ethics, and Trauma in the Cinema of Pedro Almodovar (2017) and Queering Buñuel: Sexual Dissidence and Psychoanalysis in his Mexican and Spanish Cinema (2008).

The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, this talk will reflect on Bracha L. Ettinger´s matrixial psychoanalysis´ explicit and implicit contribution to feminist and queer theory, and transgender studies by focusing on the representation and creation of affective relationships and border spaces of co-emergence and co-affection, thus creating and allegorizing trans-subjective encounters between artistic practices and spectators. This talk will present some of the aesthetic, ethical, and political implications underpinning Ettingerian psychoanalysis by emphasizing the dialogue and the productive tensions between Ettinger’s theoretical propositions and one of her most important interlocutors, namely Lacan. On the other hand, this paper focuses on finitude, mourning, and trans-subjectivity to offer a historical and theoretical account of how Spanish and Latin American visual artists and filmmakers have reflected, responded to, or remembered the AIDS epidemic since the 1980s. Drawing on Ettinger’s matrixial psychoanalysis, my talk conceives queer art and cinema of the 1980s and 1990s as a trans-subjective encounter between the spectator and the traces of individual and collective trauma that moves us beyond our individual and finite limits of ego, identity, and body. Emphasizing the transformative aesthetic, ethical, and political potential of this kind of trans-subjective mourning, my paper uses Ettinger’s term “wit(h)ness”—that is, bearing witness to and with the other—to describe how Spanish and Latin American queer artists and filmmakers of the 1980s and ‘90s used their art and cinema to engage audiences in a trans-subjective processing of the traumas associated with the loss, illness, and mortality exposed by the AIDS virus, while simultaneously gesturing towards an aesthetic, ethical, and political transformation in the way that individuals relate to each other.

Film collective Los hijos was founded in 2008. Their radical forms of filmic experimentation combined video art, ethnography, and avant-garde cinema to deconstruct established and hegemonic narratives about Spanish identity and history. In films like Los materiales (2009), Enero 2012 o el apoteosis de Isabel la Católica (2012) or Árboles (2013), Natalia Marín Sancho, Javier Fernández Vázquez, and Luis López Carrasco touch upon salient issues such as the Spanish colonial presence in Guinea, the legacies of the fascist dictatorship of Francisco Franco, and the widespread consequences of the social and economic crisis of 2008.

Please join us in a series of seminars, workshops, and lectures where Los hijos will reflect on how filmic experimentation can shed a light on colonial domination, political violence, social class discrimination, and racism in contemporary Spain. *All events will be hybrid, by RSVP, and conducted in Spanish.*
