SUMMARY:"English Now!" - Talk with Anna Brickhouse
DESCRIPTION:Video Archive: https://ucla.in/2HUblgi \nAnna Brickhouse is Professor and Director of American Studies at the University of Virginia and teaches American\, Early American\, and Hemispheric American literature. She is the author and recipient of several awards for both of her books\, which are: The Unsettlement of America: Translation\, Interpretation\, and the Story of Don Luis de Velasco\, 1560-1945 (Oxford University Press\, 2014) and Transamerican Literary Relations and the Nineteenth-Century Public Sphere (Cambridge University Press\, 2005).\n—\nAnna has also widely published many articles and her “Haiti” essay for Critical Terms for Southern Studies\, ed. Jennifer Greeson and Scott Romine is forthcoming. \n \nThe 2017-18 Kanner Forum is a prompt to think critically about the multiple histories that have informed “English\,” broadly situated.  A series of linguistic\, disciplinary\, institutional\, methodological\, and theoretical conflicts lie beneath the seemingly-placid surface of a term that\, when viewed over the long arc of its history\, reveals little consensus about what it is\, where it came from\, or where it is going.  The exclamation point of the title should trouble the waters and unsettle any easy sense that we know what it is that we are doing in an English department.  Such unsettlement is more important now than ever.  In a time of institutional\, environmental\, economic\, and political crises\, how can the conflicts and exchanges that have shaped the formation of “English” be mobilized to respond?  The series will bring distinguished scholars to UCLA\, each of whom have been invited to read “English Now!” as a provocation\, or a question (English Now?)\, or an opening to different sets of questions (what now?).  The series hopes to foster lively\, wide-ranging\, and enduring discussions about the future of English as a discipline in the humanities.

SUMMARY:Lecture with Chanita Goodblatt
DESCRIPTION:In the introduction to his 1912 edition of Donne’s poetry\, Herbert J.C. Grierson writes of “the vein of sheer ugliness which runs through his work\, presenting details that seem merely and wantonly repulsive.” Dr. Goodblatt will argue that the grotesque is rather a constructive aspect of Donne’s thought\, by focusing on his poems “The Flea” and “The Bait.” This talk will extend such discussions of the grotesque by focusing on the way in which a modern empirical study sets out the reciprocal link between literary studies and cognitive psychology: how various cognitive processes (e.g.\, problem-solving\, image-making) are utilized in understanding literary texts; and how the qualities of these texts (e.g.\, rhyme and rhythm\, metaphors\, ambiguity) elicit various cognitive effects or processes; and the role of embodied cognition in the reader’s response. \nThrough the empirical and cognitive study of the metaphors in each text\, the grotesque will be discussed as “an irreconcilable clash between opposites\,” as well as a transposition of Wolfgang Kayser’s concept of the Gestaltung (forming/shaping) “from its structural to its perceptual context” – with subsequent emphasis on both text and reader. Further\, Dr. Goodblatt will discuss how the grotesque sustains bi-directionality in a metaphor\, as a tension between its two subjects\, while allowing each to alternatively become the focus of one’s attention during reading. In focusing on the semantic and perceptual tensions that sustain the grotesque\, Dr. Goodblatt’s argument will reposition the discussion of Donne’s poetry within the developing field of Cognitive Literary Studies\, foregrounding as well the tradition of empirical studies begun by I.A. Richards. \nChanita Goodblatt is Professor in the Abrahams-Curiel Department of Foreign Literatures and Linguistics at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev\, specializing in intersections of Jewish and Christian thought in early modern literary cultures\, the poetry of John Donne\, cognitive poetics\, and early modern women’s writing and editing practice. Professor Goodblatt’s recent publications include: The Christian Hebraism of John Donne: Written with the Fingers of Man’s Hand (Duquesne University Press); Religious Diversity in Early Modern English Texts: Catholic\, Jewish\, Feminist and Secular Dimensions (Wayne State University Press)\, ed. Arthur Marotti and Chanita Goodblatt; Women Editing/Editing Women: Early Modern Women Writers and the New Textualism\, ed. Ann Hurley and Chanita Goodblatt; Tradition\, Heterodoxy and Religious Culture: Judaism and Christianity in the Early Modern Period (Ben-Gurion University Press); and a Special Issue of Poetics Today: Bi-directionality and Metaphor.
