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.

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.
