SUMMARY:Barbara L. Packer Lecture: Yopie Prins
DESCRIPTION:Join UCLA English for the Barbara L. Packer Lectures featuring Yopie Prins\, the Irene Butter Collegiate Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan. \nTuesday\, May 17 at 5:00pm – 6:30pm PST: Anne Carson [     ] Sappho \nIn If Not\, Winter: Fragments of Sappho (2002)\, Anne Carson famously uses brackets [     ] in her translations from Greek to English\, to mark what is missing from the Sapphic fragments and also to imply “a space for imaginal adventure.” In her talk\, Professor Prins looks more closely at how the bracket itself is translated in Carson’s reworking of Sappho in other media: a hand-painted mini-book\, the environmental installation of “Cliff Sappho\,” and a performance piece entitled “BRACKO.” \nRegister here for onsite attendance in Kaplan Hall 193 or online attendance on Zoom. \nThursday\, May 19 at 5:00pm – 6:30pm PST: Reversing Classical Meters \nIn her talk\, Professor Prins asks what is the past and future of classical models for English versification? Nineteenth-century ideas about the revival of classical meters in English poetry prompted a wide range of metrical experiments in Victorian England and America: strange attempts to translate quantitative classical verse into English accentual-syllabic verse\, and conversely\, to translate English verse into Greek and Latin meters. Was this a dead-end for Victorian prosody? How might we read the reversing of Classical meters today? \nRegister here for onsite attendance in Kaplan Hall 193 or online attendance on Zoom. \nBoth lectures are co-sponsored by UCLA Department of Classics. \nYopie Prins is the Irene Butter Collegiate Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan.  She is the author of Victorian Sappho (1999) and Ladies’ Greek: Victorian Translations of Tragedy (2017) and co-editor\, with Virginia Jackson\, of The Lyric Theory Reader (2014). \nPer UCLA COVID-19 protocols\, all attendees are required to complete the UCLA COVID-19 Symptom Monitoring Survey in order to enter the event.

In her first book\, Still Modernism: Photography\, Literature\, Film (2017)\, she traced the emergence of photographic stillness in novels and films of the early twentieth century\, paying particular attention to the ways in which still photography wrests free of modernity’s penchant for motion and acceleration. She is currently working on a book about the postural\, moral\, and political implications of walking and on a series of articles about the visual culture of the weather in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. \nColleen Jaurretche is a Continuing Lecturer in the Department of English at UCLA where she focuses on twentieth century British and Irish authors. Her first book\, ‘The Sensual Philosophy’: Joyce and the Aesthetics of Mysticism (Wisconsin\, 1997) investigates theological works from the six through sixteenth century in its examination of James Joyce’s writing in the context of the tradition of negative theology. Her second book\, Language as Prayer in Finnegans Wake (UP Florida\, James Joyce Series\, 2020)\, brings together thinkers from antiquity\, the Middle Ages\, early Enlightenment\, and the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to examine conditions of language as prayer. She is currently working on a creative nonfiction book about her Mexican-Indigenous family.

SUMMARY:A Comedy of the Commons: Natsume Sōseki and the Fictions of Modern Property
DESCRIPTION:Join UCLA English for a talk featuring Michael K. Bourdaghs\, the Robert S. Ingersoll Professor in East Asian Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago. \nExploring ideas from his recent book\, A Fictional Commons: Natsume Sōseki and the Properties of Modern Literature (Duke University Press\, 2021)\, Michael Bourdaghs will discuss how the fiction and literary theories of Natsume Sōseki (1867-1916)\, often acclaimed as Japan’s greatest modern novelist\, provides a critical reimagining of the new regime for property ownership that emerged in Japan during its late nineteenth century rise to the status of imperial power. Focusing in particular on I Am a Cat\, Sōseki’s early comic novel\, Bourdaghs will explore how Sōseki imagined literature itself as a kind of commons that enabled the playful practice of alternative forms of exchange and sharing. \nThis event will take place in Kaplan Hall room 193 and on zoom. Join here for zoom: https://ucla.zoom.us/j/96860292692 \nThis event is co-sponsored by UCLA’s Department of Asian Languages and Cultures. \nPer UCLA COVID-19 protocols\, all attendees are required to complete the UCLA COVID-19 Symptom Monitoring Survey in order to enter the event.

SUMMARY:Kanner Forum: Mary Pat Brady
DESCRIPTION:Join UCLA English for a conversation featuring Mary Pat Brady\, Professor of Latinx Studies and Children’s Literature at Cornell University and author of Scales of Captivity: Racial Capitalism and the Latinx Child.  Professor Brady will be in conversation with Marissa López\, Associate Graduate Dean and Professor of English and Chicana/o Studies at UCLA. \nRegister for this event here. \nProfessors Brady and López will discuss critical issues raised by Scales of Captivity including how the racialized conception of the child serves as a foundation for carceral logics.  They will explore the aesthetics of “scale” and its relationship to multiple racializing systems\, and talk about how the figure of the captive child within Latinx literature offers methods for undoing the violence that scale enables. \nThis event is co-sponsored by UCLA’s César E. Chávez Department of Chicana/o and Central American Studies. \nMary Pat Brady teaches Latinx Studies and Children’s Literature at Cornell University and her new book\, Scales of Captivity: Racial Capitalism and the Latinx Child\, has just been released by Duke University Press. Brady is also the author of Extinct Lands\, Temporal Geographies: Chicana Literature and the Urgency of Space (Duke University Press\, 2002)\, which was awarded the Modern Language Association’s Prize for the Best Work of Latina/o and Chicana/o Literary and Cultural Criticism. She is also an associate editor of the sixth and seventh editions of the Heath Anthology of American Literature (Cengage) and is the editor of the 10 volume Gale Guide to 20th and 21st Century American Literature.  An earlier essay\, “The Contrapuntal Geographies of Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories” (published in American Literature in 1999) won the Norman Foerster Prize for the best essay published in that journal for 1999. \nMarissa López is Associate Graduate Dean and Professor of English and Chicana/o Studies at UCLA\, researching Chicanx literature from the 19th century to the present with an emphasis on 19th century Mexican California. Author of Chicano Nations (NYU 2011) and Racial Immanence (NYU 2019)\, she recently completed a year-long residency at the Los Angeles Public Library where she worked to collaboratively develop a mobile app\, “Picturing Mexican America\,” that uses geodata to display images of Mexican California relevant to a user’s location. \nPer UCLA COVID-19 protocols\, indoor masking and either proof of vaccination or recent negative test verification is required to attend this event. \nQuestions about the event?\nContact Marta Wallien\, Programs and Media Manager\nmwallien@english.ucla.edu
