SUMMARY:South LA Students Sound Out the Crowd at UCLA Salon 02
DESCRIPTION:Join the USC NAI scholars and Foshay teens as they bring their exhibition to Salon 02\, an urban humanities symposium and exhibition at UCLA May 24-6\, Decafe\, Perloff Hall.  See LA 1992/LONDON 1780: SOUNDING OUT A CROWD\, an exhibition highlighting the album\, Never Say Die: A Sonic Tribute to the LA 1992 Rebellion\, a compilation of sound projects inspired by studying the representation of two urban uprisings: the Gordon Riots of 1780 in Charles Dickens’ Barnaby Rudge\, and the one that occurred more than twenty-five years ago in students’ own neighborhood. To produce the album\, students collected sounds to produce a  South LA sonic archive for an alternative map of the historical event.  View LA 1992/London 1780 on Friday May 24th at the launch party. Then\, come see the students at their talk and performance at the symposium on Saturday May 25th. \nRead more about the exhibition in this newsletter about its most current installation at UCLA\, and in an accompanying story in the Daily Bruin. \nSALON 02 is organized and curated by a group of alumni from the UCLA Urban Humanities Initiative. Its aim is to foster continued engagement with urban humanities theory\, pedagogies\, and community both within and outside the academy. Part symposium\, part exhibition\, part celebration\, SALON 02 showcases the making of urban humanities in Los Angeles\, presenting projects blurring the edges of our respective disciplines in the humanities\, urban research\, and design.  A event spanning three days\, SALON 02 collectively represents the ongoing work of urban humanists engaged in remaking and reimagining the city. \nJoin us on Friday May 24th for our launch party celebrating the opening of Salon 02 exhibition.  Curated projects on view creatively engage\, challenge\, or revise the idea of the plan.  Presenters will hold a series of gallery talks throughout the evening\, concluding with a performance by the Earth Girl Helen Brown Center for Planetary Intelligence Band. Refreshments will be served. Please RSVP for the exhibition opening here. \nThe Saturday May 25th symposium presents our main program: panels of curated conversations about projects that respond to the conference theme. Student artists will also give an extended talk about the exhibition project LA 1992/London 1780: Sounding Out the Crowd. The symposium will conclude with a keynote address by Professor Kian Goh (UCLA\, Urban Planning). Lunch and dinner will be provided. Please RSVP for the Saturday symposium here. \nContact: jacquelinejeanbarrios@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Annette Gilbert on "Poor Media" Print-on-Demand as Subversive Publishing Practice
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary experimental artists and writers who have adopted print-on-demand publishing praise the method’s low financial risk\, creative autonomy\, and independence from trade publishers. They embrace it as a means of self-empowerment and democratization—although (or\, maybe\, precisely because) it has been discredited by the literary establishment as a vanity enterprise and by book lovers and designers irritated by its low production values. Drawing on some of the most notable examples of the genre\, this lecture will show how POD facilitates an astonishing variety of forms and aesthetic approaches and how it functions as a critical media practice that continues avant-garde\, underground\, and counterculture traditions and also responds to our post-digital age and compels us to re-conceptualize our understanding of the book and publishing. \nDr. Annette Gilbert’s research and teaching focus on the literary avant-garde\, the history of the book\, self- publishing\, piracy/samizdat publishing\, Moscow conceptualism\, digital poetry\, concrete poetry\, and the materiality and mediality of literature. Recent book publications in English include Under the Radar. Underground Zines and Self-Publications 1965–1975 (Leipzig: Spector Books\, 2017)\, Publishing as Artistic Practice (Berlin: Sternberg Press\, 2016)\, and Re-Print. Appropriation (&) Literature (luxbooks: Wiesbaden\, 2014). Dr. Gilbert studied comparative literature and Eastern European Studies in Berlin\, Paris\, and Kazan. From 2001 to 2005\, she was a DAAD Lecturer at universities in Tomsk\, Novosibirsk\, and Moscow. Dr. Gilbert currently teaches at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.

SUMMARY:"Reading Poetry" - Talk with Jerome McGann
DESCRIPTION:Jerome McGann from the University of Virginia will be the Barbara L Packer guest this year.  On April 18th he will speak on “Reading Poetry.” \nJerome McGann is the John Stewart Bryan University Professor\, University of Virginia\, and Visiting Research Professor\, University of California\, Berkeley.  Until recently his work focused on Romantic and Post-Romantic British and European literature and culture\, with special attention to poetry and poetics from 1780-present.  Since 2012 he has been investigating the American Scene from the colonial founding forward\, as his most recent works show: a critical edition of Martin Delany’s Blake; or The Huts of America; a study of Poe’s poetry and poetics\, The Poet Edgar Allan Poe. Alien Angel\, and an interpretation of the colonial writings through the lens of colonial and native American relations\, which is now in press  (American Literature before American Literature).  He is the author of more than twenty monographs\, a dozen editions including major scholarly editions of Byron and D. G. Rossetti\, and four books of poetry.  Born and raised in New York City\, his kids and microkids are all rooted in California and the West Coast. \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.
