SUMMARY:Jillian + Mariko Tamaki Book Talk: Roaming
DESCRIPTION:Mariko and Jillian Tamaki from Drawn & Quarterly will discuss their new graphic novel\, Roaming. Books will be available for purchase following the event. \nRegister here to attend the event. \nRoaming marks a triumphant return to the graphic novel and deft foray into new adult fiction for Caldecott Medal-winning authors Jillian Tamaki (Boundless) and Mariko Tamaki (Cold). \nOver the course of a much-anticipated trip to New York\, an unexpected fling blossoms between casual acquaintances and throws a long-term friendship off-balance. Emotional tensions vibrate wildly against the resplendently illustrated backdrop of the city\, capturing a spontaneous queer romance in all of its fledgling glory. Slick attention to the details of a bustling\, intimidating metropolis are softened with a palette of muted pastels\, as though seen through the eyes of first-time travelers. The awe\, wonder\, and occasional stumble along the way all come to life with stunning accuracy in this sumptuous softcover with gorgeous jacket. \nRoaming is the third collaboration from the critically acclaimed team behind Skim and Governor General’s Literary Award winner This One Summer. Moody\, atmospheric\, and teeming with life\, the magic of this comics duo leaks through the pages with lush and exquisite pen work. The Tamakis’ singular\, elegant vision of an urban paradise slowly revealing its imperfections to the tune of its visitors’ rhythms is a masterpiece–a future classic for generations to come. \nQuestions about the event?\nEmail: englishevents@ucla.edu

SUMMARY:The Paranoid Chronotope\, or: How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love Conspiracies
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Professor Frida Beckman will take you on a trip through the contemporary paranoid imaginary. This means a swift but hopefully not too mindboggling tour from the 1950s to the present with flashbacks to Richard von Krafft-Ebing\, detours to Jordan B. Peterson\, and temporary stops along the way at usual suspects such as Michel Foucault\, George Soros\, and Donald Trump. Usual suspects are also Philip K. Dick\, Thomas Pynchon\, and Don DeLillo and together with newer culprits such as Dave Eggers\, Patrick Flanery\, and Ben Lerner they will\, hopefully\, give us some clues to solving the plot to undermine the American liberal subject\, not to mention democracy. \nFrida Beckman is Professor of Literature specializing in American literature at the Department of Culture and Aesthetics at Stockholm University\, Sweden. Recent work includes the monographs The Paranoid Chronotope: Power\, Truth\, Identity (2022) and Culture Control Critique: Allegories of the Present (2016)\, the critical biography Gilles Deleuze (2017)\, and the edited collection Control Culture: Foucault and Deleuze after Discipline (2018).

SUMMARY:Elemental Readings I: Air
DESCRIPTION:A Luskin Endowment for Thought Leadership Conference\, co-sponsored by the Departments of Classics and English\, UCLA. May 19th – 20th\, 2023. \nRegister here to attend. \nOrganizers: Louise Hornby (English) & Alex Purves (Classics) \nKeynote Speaker: John Durham Peters\, María Rosa Menocal Professor of English and of Film & Media Studies\, Yale University. \nConfirmed Speakers/Participants\nShane Butler\, Johns Hopkins University\nElizabeth DeLoughrey\, UCLA\nKatharine Earnshaw\, University of Exeter\nLouise Hornby\, UCLA\nHsuan Hsu\, UC Davis\nEleanor Kaufman\, UCLA\nKarla Nielson\, Huntington Library\nJohn Durham Peters\, Yale University\nJustine Pizzo\, University of Southampton\nVerity Platt\, Cornell University\nJames Porter\, UC Berkeley\nAlex Purves\, UCLA\nMario Telò\, UC Berkeley\nBen Tran\, Vanderbilt University\nVictoria Wohl\, University of Toronto\nDora Zhang\, UC Berkeley \nRecent work across a range of fields in the humanities and arts\, as well as in environmental\, media and digital studies\, has paid increasing attention to the role of the elements in shaping our experience and understanding of the world. This conference brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines who are seeking to redefine the role of air\, atmosphere\, and the weather in traditionally non-scientific media (predominantly poetry\, writing\, music\, photography\, and film). The topic invites discussion of the mutability of weather as an invisible ontology (and marker of climate change) as well as discussions of atmosphere (whose porous and unfinished nature embraces a broad range of entities\, from modes of knowing and feeling\, to the stuff we breathe\, to outer space). In each of these cases\, air’s mediating possibilities across fields\, materials\, and periods are especially rich for collaboration and the exchange of ideas. \nOur conference seeks fruitful points of contact between two colleagues in English and Classics at UCLA\, who both work on air and the elements\, joining with scholars from media studies\, art history and environmental humanities\, for a multifaceted discussion of a common object. \nMore information on the conference will appear shortly\, including links to register. The conference will be on site only.

SUMMARY:The Americas Archive: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join UCLA English for a conversation featuring Carmen E. Lamas\, Associate Professor of English and American Studies at the University of Virginia. Professor Lamas will be in conversation with UCLA English and Chicana/o Studies Professor Marissa López to discuss the temporal\, geographic\, ideological\, and speculative archives that emerge from the study of nineteenth-century Latina/o texts and how these texts invite scholars to navigate and imagine different methodological approaches and archival formations. The talk will be followed by a Q & A moderated by Professor López. \nRegister here to attend. A light reception will follow the event. \nCarmen E. Lamas is an Associate Professor of English and American Studies at the University of Virginia. Her book The Latino Continuum and the Nineteenth-Century Americas: Literature\, Translation\, and Historiography (Oxford 2021) explores nineteenth-century Latina/o history\, literature\, and translation from a hemispheric perspective. Her second book Irene Albar. Novela cubana (1885\, 1886) por Eusebio Guiteras. Edición facsímil was published this Spring 2023 by Editorial Calambur (Valencia\, Spain) and examines the trans-American and trans-Atlantic nature of nineteenth-century Latina/o lives and texts. \nQuestions about the event?\nEmail: englishevents@ucla.edu

SUMMARY:Nineteenth-Century Spanish-Language Textbooks and US American Literature
DESCRIPTION:Join UCLA English for a talk featuring Carmen E. Lamas\, Associate Professor of English and American Studies at the University of Virginia. The Spanish-language textbook is a much overlooked and even maligned nineteenth-century genre\, yet it is of upmost importance for understanding US American literature in the nineteenth century. Composed mainly by Latina/o authors these textbooks are not monomodal pedagogical devices: they are integral to US American literary history\, and their Latina/o origins and legacies can be traced to the present day. The talk will be followed by a Q & A moderated by Marissa López\, Professor of English and Chicana/o Studies at UCLA. \nRegister here to attend. A light reception will follow the event. \nCarmen E.
