SUMMARY:Raúl Coronado: How to Write a History of Latinx Desire
DESCRIPTION:How can we track the emergence of the literary in the archive of nineteenth-century US Latinx writing? In this talk\, Raúl Coronado will argue that aesthetic forms try to capture an energetic quality of life that he’d like to call presence. Rethinking desire as the desire for presence allows us to unravel more carefully not just the emergence of the literary but also the history of presence. \nA light lunch will be provided. An RSVP is required to attend.\nRegister here to attend. \nRaúl Coronado is an intellectual and literary historian and associate professor of Ethnic Studies at UC Berkeley. His first book\, A World Not to Come: A History of Writing and Print Culture (Harvard)\, received seven prizes including the American Studies Association’s John Hope Franklin Prize for Best Book in American Studies and the Modern Language Association’s Best First Book Prize. The inaugural president of the Latina/o Studies Association and inaugural executive committee member of the MLA’s Latina and Latino Literature Forum\, Coronado has received international and national funding support\, including most recently as a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellow and as the Robert C. Ritchie Distinguished Fellow in Early American History at the Huntington Library. His current project is on the history of the Latinx self from the 1780s to the 1880s. \nQuestions about the event?\nEmail: englishevents@ucla.edu

SUMMARY:Whole\, Holy\, Healthy: Sickness and the Body in the Medieval North Atlantic
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean\, culturally speaking\, to get sick? What makes a body healthy? This talk explores depictions of disease in medical remedies and healing charms from the medieval North Atlantic\, a multilingual zone of intensive cultural interaction and exchange. These vivid texts allow us to better understand how medieval people thought about their own bodies and about the place of humanity in a hostile world – deconstructing cultural anxieties and fantasies around the idea of an individuated\, embodied self. \nRegister here to attend. \nThe talk will be followed by a Q & A moderated by Erica Weaver\, assistant professor in UCLA’s English Department. \nThis event is co-sponsored by UCLA’s CMRS Center for Early Global Studies and the Colloquium for Early Medieval Studies. \nCaroline (Caz) Batten is Assistant Professor of Medieval English Literature at the University of Pennsylvania. A scholar of Old English and Old Norse language and literature\, they have published widely on gender and sexuality\, sickness and health\, the history of medicine\, and somatic emotion in medieval texts. Their short book Health and the Body in Early Medieval England is forthcoming as a Cambridge Element in 2024. \nQuestions about the event?\nEmail: englishevents@ucla.edu

SUMMARY:Oral Histories of Environmental Illness (OHEI) Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the CSW|Streisand Center. \n\nRSVP to the symposium.\nView the program and schedule.\n\nWhen: Friday\, November 17 – Saturday\, November 18\, 2023 \nWhere: Hershey Hall Salon (158)\, 612 Charles E. Young Drive East\, Los Angeles\, CA 90095 (Parking structure 2 is closest) \nHybrid event. The event will be in-person and live-streamed on CSW|Streisand Center’s YouTube channel @UCLACSW. \n\nWatch the Friday\, November 17 livestream.\nWatch the Saturday\, November 18 livestream.\n\nWith the surge in numbers of “unrecovered” from the Co-V2 pandemic\, the public’s interest has turned to disability and caregiver activism\, ongoing remissions protocols\, and patient-led research networks established by those living with chronic fatigue\, multiple chemical sensitivity\, tick-borne illnesses\, and autoimmune conditions (e.g. HIV\, lupus\, Crohn’s). This conference bridges the immediate before and after of Co-V2’s effects on this growing population of the chronically ill\, and often medically abandoned\, to ask how they—like the proverbial canaries in the coal mine—have defined and laid the groundwork for disability justice\, art\, and activism. \nThis event is part of a three-year multi-campus research grant at the University of California focusing on “Abolition Medicine and Disability Justice: Mapping Inequity and Renewing the Social Project.” \nFragrance-free: \nPlease avoid wearing scented products such as perfumes/colognes\, scented lotions\, clothing with strong detergent scents\, etc. while attending this event as they can trigger serious health issues for those with fragrance allergies.

This conference bridges the immediate before and after of Co-V2’s effects on this growing population of the chronically ill\, and often medically abandoned\, to ask how they—like the proverbial canaries in the coal mine—have defined and laid the groundwork for disability justice\, art\, and activism. \nThis event is part of a three-year multi-campus research grant at the University of California focusing on “Abolition Medicine and Disability Justice: Mapping Inequity and Renewing the Social Project.” \nFragrance-free: \nPlease avoid wearing scented products such as perfumes/colognes\, scented lotions\, clothing with strong detergent scents\, etc. while attending this event as they can trigger serious health issues for those with fragrance allergies.

SUMMARY:Lighght Reading: Thinking through Concrete Poetry
DESCRIPTION:This talk joins in the recent resurgence of critical interest in the mid-century international movement known as Concrete Poetry. Using research in cognitive science\, Jessica Luck shows how many concrete poems work to expose and confound the brain’s letterbox and other tools that lie at the foundation of our ability to read. The talk is derived from chapter four of Jessica Luck’s new book Poetics of Cognition: Thinking through Experimental Poems (Iowa Press\, 2023). \nRegister here to attend. \nJessica Luck is department chair and professor of English at California State University\, San Bernardino.

SUMMARY:Fall 2023 Research Seminar Public Lecture – Professor Craig Muldrew (Cambridge\, UK)
DESCRIPTION:As part of the CMRS-CEGS Research Seminar graduate course for Fall 2023\, Money Matters: Between Antiquity and the Enlightenment (ca. 600-1600)\, guest lecturer\, Professor Craig Muldrew (Cambridge\, UK) will share about his expertise in British Social and Economic History from 1500 to 1800. \nCraig Muldrew’s research mainly focuses on the investigation of the economic and social role of trust in the development of the market economy in England between 1500-1700\, and the living standards and work of agricultural laborer’s in the early modern English economy. He has written articles in the field of legal history concerning debt litigation and its relationship to the nature of community\, and articles on the cultural nature of money\, and wages in the early modern period. He is currently engaged on a long term project examining the development of the concept of self-control and its effect on the structure of community and on the creation of savings\, as well as how local paper credit came to be trusted in eighteenth century England. \n“Money” is a Fall 2023 graduate course designated as a CMRS Center for Early Global Studies Research Seminar which provides funding for guest scholars to lecture and work closely with students. Taught by Professor Debora Shuger (English) and Associate Professor Arvind Thomas (English)\, this Research Seminar will look at a diverse range of premodern texts concerning the emergence and expansion of economic thought/ practices and their socio-political\, literary\, religious\, and aesthetic implications. \nQuestions about the event?\nVisit The CMRS Center for Early Global Studies website.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion & Celebration: Justin Torres - Blackouts
DESCRIPTION:Join UCLA English for a book discussion and reception to celebrate Professor Justin Torres and his new novel\, Blackouts. Blackouts is a finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction\, and has been named A Most Anticipated Read by The New York Times\, The Guardian\, Literary Hub\, The Rumpus\, The Bay Area Reporter\, Datebook\, Electric Literature\, The Stacks\, Them\, and Publishers Weekly. \nRegister here to attend the event. \nCreative writing colleagues Fred D’Aguiar\, Mona Simpson and Xuan Juliana Wang will lead the discussion. Light refreshments will follow the event. Please join us to celebrate Justin and his new work! \nSynopsis: \nOut in the desert in a place called the Palace\, a young man tends to a dying soul\, someone he once knew briefly\, but who has haunted the edges of his life. Juan Gay—playful raconteur\, child lost and found and lost\, guardian of the institutionalized—has a project to pass along to this new narrator. It is inspired by a true artifact of a book\, Sex Variants: A Study in Homosexual Patterns\, which contains stories collected in the early twentieth century from queer subjects by a queer researcher\, Jan Gay\, whose groundbreaking work was then co-opted by a committee\, her name buried. As Juan waits for his end\, he and the narrator trade stories—moments of joy and oblivion—and resurrect lost loves\, lives\, mothers\, fathers\, minor heroes. The past is with us\, beside us\, ahead of us; what are we to create from its gaps and erasures? \nInspired by Kiss of the Spider Woman\, Pedro Páramo\, Voodoo Macbeth\, the book at its own center and the woman who created it\, oral histories\, and many more texts\, images\, and influences\, Justin Torres’s Blackouts is a work of fiction that sees through the inventions of history and narrative. An extraordinary work of creative imagination\, it insists that we look long and steady at the world we have inherited and the world we have made—a world full of ghostly shadows and flashing moments of truth. \nQuestions about the event?\nEmail: englishevents@ucla.edu
