SUMMARY:Victorian Apocalypse: The siècle at its fin\, Extraction Ecologies: A Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Location: Royce Hall 314 & online via Zoom \n–Organized by Joseph Bristow (University of California\, Los Angeles)\, Neil Hultgren (California State University\, Long Beach)\, and Elizabeth Carolyn Miller (University of California\, Davis) \nThis will be a hybrid event\, taking place in-person and online simultaneously: \nOption A:\nIf you wish to attend in-person\, please fill out the booking form at this link (scroll down to bottom of page): http://www.1718.ucla.edu/events/extraction-ecologies/\nIn accordance with the current mandate from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health\, all attendees\, regardless of vaccination status\, will be required to wear masks indoors (children under age 2 are exempt). Vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals may go without masks outdoors. \nOption B:\nIf you prefer to attend online via Zoom\, please register at this link:\nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEofuCvrD8tGdAzZEwJg0gh-yaEA3DmduQl\n \nOption C:\nWe will livestream the event on our YouTube Channel\, and the recording will be available for two weeks. \nN.B. You will not be able to pose questions to the roundtable from YouTube\, but questions will be taken on Zoom. \nDuring the 2021–22 academic year\, the UCLA Center for 17th– & 18th-Century Studies and William Andrews Clark Memorial Library will host the Core Program entitled “Victorian Apocalypse: The siècle at Its fin.” This program of lectures and presentations aims to reassess the ways in which the 1890s in particular as an era has strong associations with theories of decadence\, degeneration\, and disease. “Victorian Apocalypse” will draw attention to the significance of UCLA’s unrivaled collections relating to the 1890s\, especially the life and work of Oscar Wilde\, which are held at the Clark Library. \nIn The Birth of Energy: Fossil Fuels\, Thermodynamics\, and the Politics of Work (2019)\, Cara New Daggett identifies the Victorian era as the beginning of the “ideational” Anthropocene\, a “dawning consciousness” that human-industrial impacts “might be planetary and truly catastrophic.” This roundtable showcases new approaches to Victorian literature and culture that address this rising sense of the inseparability of the social and natural worlds. In dialogue with Elizabeth Carolyn Miller’s new book Extraction Ecologies and the Literature of the Long Exhaustion (2021)\, the scholars on this panel reexamine the Victorian period through the lenses of climate change\, infrastructure studies\, and the energy humanities\, focusing on the socio-ecological impacts of extraction and industry in the nineteenth century and beyond. \nPanelists:\nModerator – Neil Hultgren\, California State University\, Long Beach\nDevin Griffiths\, University of Southern California\nNathan K. Hensley\, Georgetown University\nSusan Zieger\, University of California\, Riverside\nRespondent – Elizabeth Carolyn Miller\, University of California\, Davis \n\nImage: Black Country Landscape by Edwin Butler Bayliss (1874-1950)\, Wolverhampton Art Gallery. https://www.wolverhamptonart.org.uk/ebb/

SUMMARY:Virtual Classrooms and Mercantile Mischief in Shakespeare’s England
DESCRIPTION:Location: Royce Hall 314 and over Zoom. All attendees must register here: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAkcuysrjwvH9X2287GIVKY5fD2_Jgs1DVg \nEvent Time: 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM \nUCLA’s CMRS Center for Early Global Studies \nDistinguished Visiting Scholar Lecture \nSusan Phillips (Department of English\, Northwestern University) \nRescheduled from April 30\, 2020. Please see event registration details below. \nWhat happens when the schoolmaster is banished from the early modern classroom? The popular vernacular textbooks that flooded the European market in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries posed precisely this question when they claimed—on title pages and in prefatory material—not simply to stand in for the schoolmaster\, but to displace him altogether. Most were practical how-to guides that offered entertaining dialogues and real-world scenarios to an audience of linguists of the lower orders\, readers who sought not a thorough and grammatical knowledge of other languages\, but practical lessons in conversation. Yet these texts did not simply eschew linguistic and grammatical discipline\, they flouted the rules of ethical\, moral\, and social discipline that governed the premodern classroom\, adopting the unruly premodern marketplace as the scene of their instruction. Opening up virtual classrooms that modelled all manner of transgression: from insults and pick up lines to passing off faulty coins and welching on debts\, these little books taught readers both the language of the multilingual market and the tricks of its trade. \nProfessor Phillips is Alumnae of Northwestern University Teaching Professor and Associate Professor of English at Northwestern University. Her book\, Transforming Talk: The Problem with Gossip in Late Medieval England (Penn State 2007) explores the religious\, cultural\, and literary work of “idle talk” in late medieval England. Winner of two Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities Fellowships\, she has published essays on Chaucer\, gossip theory\, late medieval pastoral practice\, Renaissance dictionaries\, medieval multilingualism\, and pre-modern pedagogy. She is currently completing her second monograph\, Learning to Talk Shop: Mercantile Mischief and Popular Pedagogy in Premodern England\, which traces the cultural history of the dictionaries\, phrasebooks\, and guides to conversation that flooded the European marketplace from the fifteenth through the seventeenth centuries. These bestsellers taught readers not only how to conjugate verbs and negotiate with foreign merchants\, but also how to insult neighbors and chat up chambermaids in up to eight different languages. More than simply entertaining content\, these mischievous conversations constitute a new pedagogical practice\, as language learning itself underwent a translation out of the classroom\, into the marketplace\, and further down the social ladder. \nCo-sponsored by the UCLA Department of English. \nHOW TO ATTEND THIS EVENT \nThis will be a hybrid event\, taking place in-person and online simultaneously. All attendees must register at this link on Zoom where you will be asked whether you will attend on site or online: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAkcuysrjwvH9X2287GIVKY5fD2_Jgs1DVg \nThe lecture will be held in Royce Hall 314. If you wish to attend in-person\, please note: in accordance with the current mandate from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health\, all attendees\, regardless of vaccination status\, are required to wear masks indoors (children under age 2 are exempt). Attending UCLA faculty\, staff\, and students must show their UCLA Covid-19 Symptom Monitoring Clearance Certificate\, as part the entry procedure. All guests must show proof of being fully vaccinated or a negative COVID test within 72 hours of the event upon entry.

SUMMARY:Afropessimism and the Status of the Subject
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a talk by \nFrank B. Wilderson III \nAfropessimism and the Status of the Subject \nOn Thursday April 22  at 5:00PM Pacific Time\, live via Zoom. \nAfropessimism\, Frank B. Wilderson III’s unique work of literature\, philosophy\, and memoir\, asks the question: why does race—in its myriad manifestations—seem to color almost every pore of our moral and political universe? This provocative question among others guides Wilderson’s exploration of Black suffering and how a perpetual form of political\, intellectual\, and cultural slavery continues to define the Black experience. Wilderson is an award-winning writer and Chancellor’s Professor and chair of African American Studies at UC Irvine. The talk is followed by a Q&A moderated by UCLA professor Kenneth Reinhard. \nSponsored by the UCLA Program in Experimental Critical Theory\, The Hammer Museum\, the UCLA Departments of English and Comparative Literature\, the 1939 Society Chair\, and the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy. \nTo RSVP in order to receive the zoom link\, please go to the Hammer Museum webpage here.

SUMMARY:“Black Seminole Romance and the Dialectics of Nature” - Talk with Amanda Jo Goldstein
DESCRIPTION:Amanda Jo Goldstein\, from the University of California\, Berkeley\, is the Barbara L. Packer guest lecturer in 2020-21. On April 12 she will speak on “Black Seminole Romance and the Dialectics of Nature.” \nZoom Link: https://ucla.zoom.us/j/97513337778?pwd=MERPZjJBejVrUXlDeEVOS0JNUkNOdz09 \nPasscode: 863797 \n“Black Seminole Romance and the Dialectics of Nature” looks to freedman-poet Albery Allson Whitman’s epic counter-history of maroon ethnogenesis and resistance on the U.S. southern frontier in the 19th Century\, testing the limits of both high Romantic nature poetry and recent Marxist ecology. \nAmanda Jo Goldstein specialize in Enlightenment and Romantic literature and science\, with particular interests in rhetoric and poetics\, pre-Darwinian biology\, and materialist theories of history\, poetry\, and nature. Her book\, Sweet Science: Romantic Materialism and the New Logics of Life (University of Chicago Press\, 2017)\, shows how writers from William Blake to Goethe\, Percy Shelley and the young Karl Marx revived ancient atomist science to argue for poetry as a privileged technique of empirical inquiry\, especially when it came to representing the new problem of biological life in its dependency upon broader social and natural histories. The book has been awarded the Kenshur Prize for an outstanding monograph of interest to eighteenth-century scholars and the MLA Prize for a First Book (2018). A new research project takes up the ecology of utopia in the early socialist projects dubbed “Romantic” and “Utopian”; another seeks the poetic and scientific roots of the “new” concepts of biosemiosis and plasticity in the long history of epigenetic neuroscience. \nThis series was established in memory of our beloved Emeritus Professor\, Barbara Packer.  Barbara was not only the most distinguished scholar of Emerson to emerge since the Emersonian revival of the mid-1960s\, but she also was a most generous colleague and teacher whose vivid intelligence\, warm humor\, and true grace were daily gifts to all who knew her. While Barbara’s path-breaking scholarship on Emerson and other nineteenth-century American authors was marked\, in the words of her teacher\, Harold Bloom\, by “a warmth and generosity … unmatched elsewhere\,” in Barbara we all encountered “a mind that startled us by its large scope\,” to use Emerson’s words.   One of a small band of scholars who edited Emerson’s works for Harvard\, she wrote the historical introduction to his late work\, The Conduct of Life (2007). Her account of the Transcendentalist movement in the Cambridge History of American Literature (1995) was later published as The Transcendentalists (2007)\, which Joel Myerson has called “the best extended study of Transcendentalism available.” She held a Visiting Professorship at Columbia in 1987 and was a Fellow of  the Stanford Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences in 1989-90.

SUMMARY:"Jacobin Pastoral and the Inhuman Trade" - Talk with Amanda Jo Goldstein
DESCRIPTION:Amanda Jo Goldstein\, from the University of California\, Berkeley\, is the Barbara L. Packer guest lecturer in 2020-21. On April 12 she will speak on “Jacobin Pastoral and the Inhuman Trade.” \nZoom Link: https://ucla.zoom.us/j/92035976747?pwd=WCtSRW8rS2tGS3ovT2tyc3VEWmlxUT09  \nPasscode: 276161 \nWhat conceptions of nature support utopian exercises in “social dreaming”? Motivated in part by the surprising aptitude of earlier modern fiction and science to grasp the logic of sociogenic climate change – a form of causation that caught mainstream modern science by surprise – these lectures explore aspects of poetic thought dismissed as “Utopian” or “Romantic” for espousing the heterodox premise that nature answers to justice\, rather than necessity. “Jacobin Pastoral and the Inhuman Trade\,” takes up the recurrent fact or fantasy of ecological retribution and its utopian counterpart\, ecological jubilee. The purportedly abolitionist propensities of the earth in Erasmus Darwin’s materialist epic of the 1790s enable a reckoning with the silence on the matter of race that has too frequently marked newer materialist and Anthropocene theory. \nAmanda Jo Goldstein specialize in Enlightenment and Romantic literature and science\, with particular interests in rhetoric and poetics\, pre-Darwinian biology\, and materialist theories of history\, poetry\, and nature. Her book\, Sweet Science: Romantic Materialism and the New Logics of Life (University of Chicago Press\, 2017)\, shows how writers from William Blake to Goethe\, Percy Shelley and the young Karl Marx revived ancient atomist science to argue for poetry as a privileged technique of empirical inquiry\, especially when it came to representing the new problem of biological life in its dependency upon broader social and natural histories.
