SUMMARY:On Solidarity: Reflect and Restore
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of Palestinian filmmaker Mohanad Yaqubi’s film\, “R21 AKA Restoring Solidarity\,” followed by a panel discussion featuring UCLA Professors Saree Makdisi\, Robin Kelley\, and Shannon Speed. The film centers on the growing struggle for Palestinian self-determination between 1960 and 1980\, which was supported by left-wing movements worldwide\, including Japan. This is illustrated by a collection of 16mm films by militant filmmakers from various countries\, dubbed and screened in Japan. Our discussion engages with the promise\, challenges\, and limits to solidarity commitments with Palestine\, while touching on the seminal role solidarity has played in the shaping of and discourse around uplifting Palestinian struggle. \nRegister here to attend. \nQuestions about the event?\nEmail: englishevents@ucla.edu

SUMMARY:SLAM - Restoration premiere with director Marc Levin & poets Beau Sia and Saul Williams
DESCRIPTION:In-person:\n\nQ&A with director Marc Levin\, actors and poets Beau Sia and Saul Williams\, moderated by Sundance Film Festival Director Eugene Hernandez.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdmission is free. No advance reservations. Seats are available on a first come\, first served basis. Hammer Museum members will have reserved seating available at the box office. The box office opens one hour before the first program of the day.\n \nSLAM\nU.S.\, 1998 \nLos Angeles restoration premiere  \nAfter being charged with drug possession\, small-time marijuana dealer and rapper Ray Joshua (Saul Williams) must navigate the Washington\, D.C.\, criminal justice system. Though he faces a long imprisonment\, his dreams for his future are ignited by writing instructor Lauren Bell (Sonja Sohn)\, who introduces him to the slam poetry world. \nFilmed by documentarian Marc Levin in “drama-vérité” style\, the fictional story is fused with the real-world backdrop of the nation’s capital\, including the Dodge City neighborhood as well as an actual D.C. prison. Levin developed the story in collaboration with journalist Richard Stratton and the leads Williams and Sohn. Dialogue was mostly improvised by the actors\, and the poetry recited is their own. \nSLAM premiered to considerable festival success\, receiving the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival as well as the Caméra d’Or and Prix du Public at Cannes. The film capitalized on the growing popularity of poetry slams\, where participants recite spoken word poetry in a competitive setting. Saul Williams\, a trained actor with an M.A. in acting from New York University\, had previously won the Grand Slam Championships. He went on to release several critically acclaimed albums of both music and spoken word poetry. Artists and poets including Bonz Malone and Beau Sia populate the cast of SLAM\, along with individual guards and incarcerated persons. \nLike the powerful poetry in the film\, SLAM uncompromisingly tackles critical issues of criminal justice reform\, institutional racism\, societal expectations and violence. When Ray is booked into jail\, a guard rattles off the rates of Black men imprisoned in the District of Columbia\, followed by\, “Welcome to the D.C. prison. You might make it out\, you might not.” But\, as Ray begins to learn\, freedom is something that can never be taken from you.—Jillian Borders \nDCP\, color\, 104 min. Director: Marc Levin. Screenwriters: Sonja Sohn\, Marc Levin\, Bonz Malone\, Saul Williams\, Richard Stratton. With: Saul Williams\, Sonja Sohn\, Beau Sia\, Bonz Malone\, Lawrence Wilson. \nRestoration funded by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences\, Sundance Institute\, UCLA Film & Television Archive. Restored by the Academy Film Archive and UCLA Film & Television Archive in conjunction with Sundance Institute from a 35mm interpositive\, a 35mm magnetic track\, DA-88s and an MO Disk. Laboratory services by Roundabout Entertainment\, Inc.\, Deluxe Media Audio Services\, DJ Audio\, Inc. Special thanks to Marc Levin\, Lionsgate. \nPart of: 2024 UCLA Festival of Preservation \n\n\n\n\nSpecial thanks to our community partners: UCLA Department of English\, UCLA Hip Hop Initiative.

SUMMARY:For a Resilient US Theater\, Post-Pandemic: A Panel Featuring Barbara Fuchs
DESCRIPTION:Livestream available via HowlRound TV on Wednesday\, April 3 at 1 p.m. PDT. \nFor a Resilient US Theater\, by UCLA researchers Barbara Fuchs and Rhonda Sharrah\, is part of Pandemic Preparedness in the Live Performing Arts\, a comparative transnational study on the resilience of theatre post-COVID funded by the British Academy. Between April 2023 and January 2024\, a team of researchers from the United States of America\, United Kingdom\, Canada\, Germany\, France\, Italy\, and Japan examined the lessons learned from the responses of the live performing arts sector and governments to COVID-19 in the G7 countries. The study’s aim is to support sector preparedness for future crises\, whether caused by new pandemics\, climate-related disasters\, demographic changes\, economic pressures or the impacts on the live performing arts of national and international politics. \nThe US report examines the lessons to be learned from the pandemic\, while highlighting longer-term trends exacerbated by the COVID crisis. Its conclusions and recommendations speak to theatremakers and stakeholders across the theatre ecosystem\, focusing on key issues of sector-wide strategizing\, advocacy\, and long-term thinking. \nVisit HowlRound Theatre Commons for full event information.

SUMMARY:The Uses of Hatred: A Symposium
DESCRIPTION:This event will propose that a range of disciplines across the humanities have shared and suggestive investments in questions of hatred. We will explore hatred as a human emotion not as it is simply decried or enabled in particular works of art\, but as it is in different ways put to use. In particular\, we will explore the uses of hatred in criticism: of art\, literature and culture. The day will bring together scholars and critics in literature and the visual arts\, who are also invested in a range of disciplines including psychoanalysis\, queer theory\, philosophy and anthropology\, in order to discuss hatred in\, and the hatred of\, a range of creative media. \nEach presentation will be followed by discussion with the audience\, and the day will end with a final roundtable reflection on hatred and the humanities. \nRegister here to attend the symposium. \nFor any questions\, please direct these to David Russell (djrussell@ucla.edu) or Sarah Kareem (kareem@humnet.ucla.edu). \nSchedule \n9:45am – Welcome and Introduction \n10:00am – 10:50am – Sarah Kareem (English\, UCLA): “The Art Lover and the Vandal” \n11:00am – 11:50am – Wendy Lee (English\, NYU): “Austen’s Hatred” \n11:50am – 12:10pm – Break \n12:10pm – 1:00pm – David Russell (English\, UCLA): “The Hatred of Criticism” \n1:00pm – 2:00pm – Lunch Break \n2:00pm – 2:50pm – Jeremy Melius (Art History\, University of York): “Deprivation and Delinquency in Ruskin’s History of Art” \n3:00pm – 3:50pm – Jaś Elsner (Art History\, Oxford University): “Image as Aggression in Courbet: about the polemical nature of L’Origine du Monde” \n3:50pm – 4:10pm – Break \n4:10pm – 5:00pm – Roundtable Discussion

SUMMARY:Black Age: Oceanic Lifespans and the Time of Black Life
DESCRIPTION:Register here to attend. A light lunch will be provided. An RSVP is required to attend. \nJoin us for our Kanner Forum featuring Dr. Habiba Ibrahim\, Professor and Associate Chair of English at the University of Washington. In this presentation Dr. Ibrahim will discuss her recent work\, Black Age: Oceanic Lifespans and the Time of Black Life (NYU Press\, 2021). Black Age tracks how age for people of the Black diaspora has been historically constituted as “untimely.” Black Age argues that over various phases of the transatlantic slave trade\, the Black body had been separated from hegemonic relations to liberal humanist measures of time on various scales. Constituted through processes of violence and reasoning that alienated bodies from historical\, developmental\, and legal schedules of time\, Black age became contingent\, malleable\, and suited for the needs of enslavement. \nThe talk will be followed by a Q & A moderated by Yogita Goyal\, Professor of African American Studies and English at UCLA. \nHabiba Ibrahim is Professor and Associate Chair of English at the University of Washington. She is the author of Black Age: Oceanic Lifespans and the Time of Black \nLife (2021) and Troubling the Family: The Promise of Personhood and the Rise of Multiracialism (2012). \nQuestions about the event?\nEmail: englishevents@ucla.edu

SUMMARY:One Million Experiments
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of the short documentary One Million Experiments\, followed by a conversation with Damon A. Williams\, Daniel Kisslinger\, and Los Angeles-based organizers. Check back soon for more information about the organizers who will be joining us! \nRegister here to attend. \nOne Million Experiments is a multimodal project that explores how we define and create safety in the world without the use of prisons or police. Developed by Damon A. Williams and Daniel Kisslinger in partnership with Interrupting Criminalization and Project Nia\, One Million Experiments includes a podcast\, documentary film\, and a curated collection of community-based safety projects working to build solutions that are grounded in transformation instead of punishment. The point of One Million Experiments is not to find permanent solutions to ever-changing problems\, but to gather more ideas\, tools\, and skills so that we don’t have to start from scratch every time. \nThe screening will be followed by a discussion and Q & A moderated by Robin D.G. Kelley\, Distinguished Professor and Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in U.S. History at UCLA. \nThis event is co-sponsored by UCLA’s Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies\, the UCLA Law School’s Criminal Justice Program\, the UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy\, and UCLA’s Center for the Study of Women|Barbra Streisand Center. \nQuestions about the event?\nEmail: englishevents@ucla.edu

Hunt Memorial English Reading Room Writers Series: Tea and Conversation with Kate Bolton Bonnici. \nRegister here to attend. \nKate Bolton Bonnici will read from her latest poetry collection\, A True & Just Record. The reading will be followed by a discussion of her writing\, led by Professor Marissa López. \nHecate-like\, A True & Just Record invites us to the three- way crossroads of poetry\, feminist rhetorics\, and early modern studies. Kate Bolton Bonnici weaves together archival materials from the English witch trials\, 20th- century poets and philosophers\, and her own family. With fury and care\, haunted by absences\, these poems — all also forms of experimental scholarship — interrogate\, disrupt\, and play. \nDr. Kate Bolton Bonnici grew up in Alabama and holds degrees from Harvard\, NYU Law (JD)\, UC Riverside (MFA)\, and UCLA (PhD). Her debut collection\, Night Burial\, won the 2020 Colorado Prize for Poetry. Her second collection\, A True & Just Record\, was published in 2023 by Boiler House Press/Beyond Criticism Editions. Her work has appeared in The Georgia Review\, The Maine Review\, Image\, CounterText\, Exemplaria\, and elsewhere. Kate is an assistant nonfiction editor at Tupelo Press and an Assistant Professor of English at Pepperdine University.

SUMMARY:Lecture by Joe Bristow: The Final Hours of Oscar Wilde: “My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death”
DESCRIPTION:William Andrews Clark Lecture on Oscar Wilde \nLecture by Joseph Bristow\, Distinguished Professor of English\, University of California\, Los Angeles \nThis lecture sheds fresh light on the forty-six-year-old Oscar Wilde’s early death from encephalomeningitis at the shabby Hôtel d’Alsace on Friday\, November 30\, 1900\, in the Latin Quarter of Paris. By drawing on documents held at the Clark Library that have seldom been consulted before\, Professor Bristow will look closely at the rapid turns of events that impacted Wilde’s final hours. The Clark Library has recently catalogued the extensive papers of the Irish Passionist priest Father Cuthbert Dunne\, who converted Wilde on his deathbed to the Church of Rome. The library also houses many letters by Reginald Turner\, the loyal friend who remained at the incapacitated Wilde’s bedside for several weeks. These items reveal the urgent financial\, legal\, and religious matters that attended Wilde’s demise. The talk will also discuss Wilde’s indebtedness to the hotel proprietor Jean Dupoirier\, who soon after Wilde’s death turned his former guest’s insalubrious bedroom into a shrine for the writer’s most devoted acolytes. \nJoseph Bristow is Distinguished Professor of English at the University of California\, Los Angeles. His most recent books are Oscar Wilde on Trial: The Criminal Proceedings\, from Arrest to Imprisonment (Yale University Press\, 2022) and an edited collection\, Extraordinary Aesthetes: Decadents\, New Women\, and Fin-de-Siècle Culture (University of Toronto Press\, 2023). He is currently co-editing (with Yvonne Ivory and Rebecca N. Mitchell) the Oxford English Texts edition of Wilde’s uncollected\, unfinished\, and miscellaneous writings. His current book project is “Queer Blackmail: English Cultures of Extortion\, 1776–1967.” \n\nThe lecture is free to attend with advance registration. It will be held in-person at the Clark Library and livestreamed on the Center’s YouTube Channel. No registration is required to watch the livestream. The registration form will post here approximately one month in advance of the program. Seating is limited at the Clark Library; walk-in registrants are welcome as space permits. \n\nImage: “Photo taken by Robert Ross of Oscar Wilde two hours after death by flash light\,” 3:50pm\, Friday\, November 30\, 1900 \nInscription\, in ink\, on verso: “Photo taken by Robert Ross of Oscar Wilde 2 hours after death\, by flashlight. Nov 30th 1900.” Stamped\, in ink\, on verso: “To the appointment to T.M. The King and Queen\, William E. Gray\, 92\, Queen’s Rd.\, Bayswater\, W. Fine Art Photographer.” With envelope from “Harrison Hale Schaff\, Attorney at Law\, 31 Beacon Street\, Boston” that is inscribed in ink: “Photo of Oscar Wilde taken by Robert Ross\, his endorsement on the back.” The photograph was taken by Maurice Gilbert\, likely with Wilde’s Kodak camera.
