Premodern Elements: A Workshop and Colloquium Series

 

 

Friday, March 24, 2017

Humanities Center, 602 Cathedral of Learning

 

See Public Lecture times below. All are invited, and all lectures will be taking place in the Humanities Center.

 

 

The Program in Medieval and Renaissance Studies is excited to announce a workshop and lecture series on the topic of “Premodern Elements.” Before the rare earths that invisibly shape and fuel your cell phone and hybrid car—minerals of costly environmental extraction and recondite names—the elements were simple: as simple, shifting, complex, and storied as earth, wind, fire, and air. Together with other iconic foursomes (seasons, humors, continents) the elements organized the premodern universe, animated myth, required iconography. Drawing on recent efforts to think “with” the elements in ecocriticism, this workshop proposes a group exploration of the impact of the elements on premodern cultural production. We seek to expand elemental thinking beyond purely ecocritical or materialist concerns to include topics, texts, and objects in literary studies, history of art and architecture, and history and philosophy of science. How did earth, air, fire, and water combine to order—or disorganize—materiality, bodies, space, or texts? How did they foster, temper, or block new experiences of scale or configurations of matter? What does it mean to approach a literary text or cultural artifact through its engagement with the elements? How did elements express national or gender affiliations? What were the relations between elements and affect?

Vaughn Rasberry Lecture & Book Reading

 

Vaughn Rasberry (Stanford University)

 

 

Tuesday, March 28, 2017

5:00 - 7:00 PM 

Humanities Center, 602 Cathedral of Learning

 

 

Vaughn Rasberry studies African American literature, global Cold War culture, postcolonial theory, and philosophical theories of modernity. As a Fulbright scholar in 2008-09, he taught in the American Studies department at the Humboldt University Berlin and lectured on African American literature throughout Germany. His new book, Race and the Totalitarian Century: Geopolitics in the Black Literary Imagination (Harvard University Press) questions the notion that desegregation prompted African American writers and activists to acquiesce in the normative claims of postwar liberalism. Challenging accounts that portray black cultural workers in various postures of reaction to larger forces--namely U.S. liberalism or Soviet communism--his project argues instead that many writers were involved in a complex national and global dialogue with totalitarianism, a defining geopolitical discourse of the twentieth century.

 

 

Vaughn Rasberry will be discussing and reading portions of his book Race and the Totalitarian Century: Geopolitics in the Black Literary Imagination during this public lecture. 

 

 

This lecture is free and open to the public with a reception to follow. Copies of Race and the Totalitarian Century: Geopolitics in the Black Literary Imagination will be available for purchase.

Robert Romanchuk Lecture: "Gogol’s Mirgorod: Four Ways to Write a Perverse Symptom"

 

Robert Romanchuk (Florida State University) 

 

Thursday, March 30, 2017
1:00 PM
Humanities Center, 602 Cathedral of Learning

 

 

Donald Fanger, in The Creation of Nikolai Gogol (Harvard UP, 1979), writes that Mirgorod is “a pivotal work in Gogol's development and his most personally revealing book. As such, it is particularly inviting to psychoanalytic interpretation.” We should take "pivotal," even more so than "personal," as an antecedent of Fanger's "as such." For Mirgorod occupies a crucial transitional place between the more conventional Dikanka Evenings and the often anthologized Petersburg Tales: if the former foregrounds the "mystery of love," a mystery that sharpens into an impenetrable riddle in the latter (as Hugh McLean first observed), Mirgorod poses a troubling challenge to desire altogether. It resists analysis, decomposes structure, and to date has evaded monographic study. This study takes seriously Lacan's claim that the work of fiction is a "forgery of the unconscious," but not mimetic of anything; it reads Gogol to the letter when he subtitles Mirgorod "Tales Serving As a Continuation of Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka," in place of the expected continuation itself; and interprets as structure McLean's diachronic observation that Gogol's book, which begins "I love very much" and ends "It's dreary in this world, gentlemen," represents a "symbolic transition from love to non-love." On this foundation it argues that Mirgorod forges a perverse symptom that implicates its reader. For Gogol's subtitle, in which Mirgorod stands in place of the absent sequel to Dikanka, is congruent with the role of the letter in the unconscious, as a "symbol only of an absence" (Lacan), while the pivot in the attitudes toward love inscribed in its opening and closing words is precisely the perverse "wish for a father's Law that reveals its absence" (Rothenberg and Foster). Perversion is the awful masquerading as the lawful. It is built upon the disavowal of the choice of submission to a limiting signifier and the repeated, ritualized stagings of this choice, whose aim is to bring desire into fleeting existence.

Lisa Wakamiya Lecture: "Philology and Mimicry: Vladimir Nabokov’s The Song of Igor’s Campaign"

 

Lisa Wakamiya (Florida State University)

 

 

Thursday, March 30, 2017 

4:00 PM

Humanities Center, 602 Cathedral of Learning 

 

 

This presentation treats the “philologization” of Nabokov’s practice of translation. Drawing on new manuscript collations and findings in the Roman Jakobson Papers at MIT, the Vladimir Nabokov Papers at the Library of Congress and the Berg Collection at the NYPL, it examines the early variant manuscripts of Nabokov’s translation of The Song of Igor’s Campaign, the anonymous Old Rus epic whose antiquity remains the subject of scholarly debate. Nabokov’s decade-long collaboration with Roman Jakobson was intended to produce a scholarly edition of the “Song.” Instead, it resulted in an acrimonious ideologized rift: Nabokov went on to publish his translation of the “Song” with his own commentary; Jakobson’s book was never finished.

 

Where Jakobson sought to eliminate all doubts concerning the “Song” and its twelfth-century provenance, Nabokov sidestepped the authenticity debate to define the epic (whatever its origin) as a work of Great Art. Despite these fundamental differences, Nabokov’s published translation of the “Song” advances a text and a model of scholarly activity that owes much to Jakobson. If Nabokov’s earliest drafts adapt translation to philology in a performance that is at once “reverent” and “ironic,” terms that might also metatextually describe Nabokov’s relationship to his then mentor, his published edition reveals not the displacement of Jakobson’s work by his own, but a condensation of the two in which philological discourse cannot be distinguished from a performance of it.

The Pitt Inside-Out Prison Education Initiative

 

An Informal Meeting for Faculty and Graduate Students 

 

 

Monday, April 10, 2017 

4:00 - 5:30 PM 

501G Cathedral of Learning 

 

 

Several faculty members will pilot an Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program at the State Correctional Institute at Fayette (SCI Fayette) in 2017-2018, and we are hoping to get approval to continue and expand the program. We would like to identify other faculty members in the Dietrich School who might be interested in being part of the program and gauge the extent of faculty support for this initiative. We would also like to identify graduate students in the Dietrich School who support this initiative and who might like to participate in the program as volunteer tutors in the coming year or who might be involved as tutors or train to be instructors if the program continues.

 

The Inside-Out program (http://www.insideoutcenter.org) is an educational program that brings together Pitt undergraduates (the outside students) and incarcerated people (the inside students) in classes taught at a correctional facility. The program began at Temple University more than 20 years ago, and since then more than 100 academic institutions and correctional institutions have partnered to offer Inside-Out courses. SCI Fayette is about an hour’s drive from Pittsburgh and is one of the nearest correctional facilities aside from SCI Pittsburgh, which will be closing its doors this year. The administration at SCI Fayette welcomes the program, and we look forward to this partnership.

Louis-Philippe Dalembert’s latest novels, Ballade d’un amour inachevé (2013) and Avant que les ombres s’effacent (2017), are tales of migration. The former takes the reader between Haiti to Italy, while the latter goes from Poland to Haiti. Both novels reimagine journeys of migrants and refugees amidst earthquakes and war, respectively. The colloquium will feature Dalembert’s readings of selected passages, followed by a discussion of the ways the literature mediates the impact of political and natural disasters.

 

About the speaker: Author of prize-winning novels, short stories, and collections of poetry, Louis-Philippe Dalembert is a self-described vagabond. He has held numerous writer-in-residence fellowships all over the world, including Rome, Paris, Berlin, Tunis, Kinshasa, and Jerusalem.

’At One Point We All Rebelled’: Hip Hop Graffiti Grrlz and the Performance of Feminist Masculinity

 

 

Speaker: Jessica N. Pabón, SUNY New Paltz

 

Friday, March 24, 2017 

3:00 - 5:00 PM

ROOM CHANGE: 501 Cathedral of Learning

 

Hip Hop masculinity has been theorized almost exclusively in relation to cisgendered men and shaped by the question: what does the performance of mainstream Hip Hop masculinity do to girls and women? Frequently focused on toxic hypermasculinities, the question predetermines the answer: girls and women in Hip Hop experience low self-esteem, low social status, and exploitation (in terms of sex and labor). In short, they are always already victims. Instead of asking what Hip Hop masculinity does to them, Dr. Jessica Pabón asks what graffiti grrlz do with masculine gender performance. In this talk, Pabón offers a critical re-imagining of gender performance in Hip Hop culture by examining the aesthetics, politics, and embodiment of graffiti grrlz from the USA, South Africa, Canada, and Australia. Analyzing masculinity with graffiti grrlz at the center reveals a gender performance that empowers rather than subjugates, one that allows for and values a complex enactment of gender within Hip Hop culture; this is what Pabón calls a “feminist masculinity.” Feminist masculinity attends to graffiti grrlz’ everyday experiences as cisgendered women who came into adulthood as part of the Hip Hop generation, an era increasingly marked by the neoliberal promise of “girl power” fueled by postfeminism. Rather than reproducing oppressive masculinity, hegemonic feminism, or a politically sterilized postfeminism, graffiti grrlz rebel—they take risks, deviate from norms, and play with the bold, brash, and brazen traits of masculinity to demand their visibility and belonging.

Talking About Asia: From Missionary Cook to Counterrevolutionary: The Saga of a Chinese Christian Family

 

Jennifer Lin 

Journalist and author of Shanghai Faithful, Betrayal and Forgiveness in a Chinese Christian Family

 

 

Tuesday, April 11, 2017 

12:00 PM 

4130 Posvar Hall 

 

 

Journalist Jennifer Lin examines the tumultuous past and present of Christianity in China through five generations of her family. A former Beijing correspondent for The Philadelphia Inquirer, Lin chronicles 150 years of family history in the recently-published “Shanghai Faithful: Betrayal and Forgiveness in a Chinese Christian Family” (Rowman & Littlefield). The book includes a compelling cast: a doctor who treated opium addicts; a Penn-educated Chinese pastor; and the influential independent religious leader Watchman Nee, imprisoned after 1949 as a “counterrevolutionary.” Author Orville Schell called Lin’s book “a beautifully written elegy to that generation of foreign educated, humanist and often Christian Chinese who had begun to form a cosmopolitan class in China that was comfortable on both sides of the East/West divide and might have successfully led China from its cultural traditionalism into modernity.”
