SUMMARY:Elemental Readings I: Air
DESCRIPTION:A Luskin Endowment for Thought Leadership Conference\, co-sponsored by the Departments of Classics and English\, UCLA. May 19th – 20th\, 2023. \nRegister here to attend. \nOrganizers: Louise Hornby (English) & Alex Purves (Classics) \nKeynote Speaker: John Durham Peters\, María Rosa Menocal Professor of English and of Film & Media Studies\, Yale University. \nConfirmed Speakers/Participants\nShane Butler\, Johns Hopkins University\nElizabeth DeLoughrey\, UCLA\nKatharine Earnshaw\, University of Exeter\nLouise Hornby\, UCLA\nHsuan Hsu\, UC Davis\nEleanor Kaufman\, UCLA\nKarla Nielson\, Huntington Library\nJohn Durham Peters\, Yale University\nJustine Pizzo\, University of Southampton\nVerity Platt\, Cornell University\nJames Porter\, UC Berkeley\nAlex Purves\, UCLA\nMario Telò\, UC Berkeley\nBen Tran\, Vanderbilt University\nVictoria Wohl\, University of Toronto\nDora Zhang\, UC Berkeley \nRecent work across a range of fields in the humanities and arts\, as well as in environmental\, media and digital studies\, has paid increasing attention to the role of the elements in shaping our experience and understanding of the world. This conference brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines who are seeking to redefine the role of air\, atmosphere\, and the weather in traditionally non-scientific media (predominantly poetry\, writing\, music\, photography\, and film). The topic invites discussion of the mutability of weather as an invisible ontology (and marker of climate change) as well as discussions of atmosphere (whose porous and unfinished nature embraces a broad range of entities\, from modes of knowing and feeling\, to the stuff we breathe\, to outer space). In each of these cases\, air’s mediating possibilities across fields\, materials\, and periods are especially rich for collaboration and the exchange of ideas. \nOur conference seeks fruitful points of contact between two colleagues in English and Classics at UCLA\, who both work on air and the elements\, joining with scholars from media studies\, art history and environmental humanities\, for a multifaceted discussion of a common object. \nMore information on the conference will appear shortly\, including links to register. The conference will be on site only. Please send any enquiries to purves@g.ucla.edu \nProvisional Schedule (not final) \nFriday\, May 19th \n12:00-1:00 Lunch \n1:20 Opening Remarks \nLouise Hornby & Alex Purves \n1:30-3:30 Panel 1: Sentient Air \nHsuan Hsu\, “Smellscape as Distributed Memory” \nVictoria Wohl\, “Intelligent Air” \nResponse: Dora Zhang \n3:30 Coffee Break \n4-5:30 Keynote \nJohn Durham Peters\, “On Sensing and not Sensing the Air and the Weather” \n6pm Dinner \nSaturday\, May 20th \n8:00 am Breakfast \n8:30-10:45 Panel 2: Meteorologies \nVerity Platt\, “Air in Unexpected Places: Foam\, Breath\, and Philostratus’ Truth in Painting” \nKatharine Earnshaw\, “Thought Bubbles and Feeling Blue (or\, Micromeditations on affective Chromacities)” \nJustine Pizzo\, “Character Studies and the Changing Climate of Victorian Realist Fiction” \nResponse: Karla Nielson \n10:45 Coffee break \n11-12.45 Panel 3: Violence in the Air \nBen Tran\, “Unburied Sound and the Atmosphere” \nMario Telò\, “Achrony and Aeropolitics in Aulis” \nResponse: Liz DeLoughrey \n1-2 Lunch \n2- 4:15 Panel 4: Ambience \nShane Butler\, “Ovidian Atmospheres” \nEleanor Kaufman\, “Mudimbe’s Air in French Philosophy” \nResponse: Jim Porter \n4:30-5 Closing Remarks \nLouise Hornby & Alex Purves \n6pm Dinner
