SUMMARY:GCLR Seminar: Urban Experiential Learning: Concepts and Pedagogical Methods
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will focus on the concepts\, pedagogical designs\, and possible experiential outcomes for urban studies courses. We will draw on a summer course titled “Interdisciplinary Introduction to African Urban Studies\,” which Prof. Quayson has taught in Accra for Stanford students for the past three years. The central principle underpinning the course is the ways in which any given city might be used to generate a toolkit of concepts and methods for understanding other cities\, with Accra providing the experiential laboratory in this case. Cities to be referred to will include New York\, London\, San Francisco\, Singapore\, Hong Kong\, and Johannesburg\, among various others. We will also explore various literary and film texts that allow us to ground spatial principles. \nRegister to attend here \nSponsored by the Graduate Center for Literary Research

SUMMARY:Talk: Beyond the Wall: Teichoscopy and the Limits of Tragedy
DESCRIPTION:Teichoscopy is a theatrical means of communicating occurrences that happen offstage. A figure\, commonly subaltern and anonymous\, climbs to an elevated position to report what it sees from this vantage point while the leading figure remains below to hear. In thus visibly inverting the positions of power on stage\, teichoscopy can not only call into question social and political hierarchies\, it also serves to comment on the central tragic notion of the ‘fall of kings’ itself. This is why the strategy is employed frequently when European tragedy seeks to address the limitations imposed by the need for dramatic personae. In the late eighteenth century\, teichoscopy takes on a radically anti-dramatic function as it shows how revolution undermines the “dispositive of representation” (Louis Marin) that links both courtly and bourgeois drama to Early Modern sovereignty. This talk will address the specific media poetics allowing for such a liminal experience of political drama reaching beyond itself. \nMichael Auer is Professor of German Literature at the University of Vienna in Austria visiting UCSB as a Max Kade Professor this Spring quarter. His research interests include the politics of poetic form\, the history of European drama\, and “lyrical soundscapes” from psalms to songs. He is currently writing a book on teichoscopy from Aeschylus and Shakespeare to Sarah Kane and Elfriede Jelinek. \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies\, Comparative Literature Program\, and Department of Theater and Dance

SUMMARY:From Alphabetical to Digital Literacy? Some Reflections on Orality\, Writing\, Cultural Techniques\, and Digitality
DESCRIPTION:Are we witnessing the transition from alphabetic to digital literacy? But what does “literacy” mean? Going back to the discovery of the difference between orality and literacy in the 1960s and 1970s\, we find a real discovery – the difference between oral and written language – combined with a problematic narrative: The supremacy of literal to oral cultures. To avoid this ideology we should consider orality and literacy as the two ends of a continuum. Whatever historically exists is in between. With this in mind\, we turn to the question about the transition from alphabetic to digital literacy and problematize its clear demarcation between the alphanumeric and the digital. But what does “digital” mean? It is our hypothesis that there is an “embryonic digitality” already within alphabetical literacy. Digitality can be detached from computer technology. But electronic networking and Big Data are at the same time producing phenomena that are unprecedentedly new: The idea of the world interpreted as readable text changes into the “machine operability of the data universe.” Is contemporary digitality thus the “new alphabet”? \nCurrently Max Kade Visiting Professor for Winter 2022 in the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies at UC Santa Barbara\, Sybille Krämer was Full Professor for Philosophy at the Free University in Berlin. Since her retirement\, she has been a guest professor at the Institute for Cultures and Aesthetics of Digital Media\, Leuphana University Lüneburg. Previously\, she has been a member of the German Scientific Council (2000-2006)\, of the European Research Council (2007-2014))\, member of the “Senat” of the German Research Foundation (2009-2015)\, and Permanent Fellow at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin/ Institute for Advanced Study (2005-2008). She has held several International Visiting Professorships and Fellowships and has a 2016 Honorary Doctorate from Linköping University/Sweden. Her research areas include: Mathematics and philosophy in 17th century; Social Epistemology; Philosophy of Language and Writing; Performative Studies\, Media and Cultural Techniques; Digitality and History of Computation; Testimony and Witnessing. Her publications in English include: Media\, Messenger\, Transmission. An Approach to Media Philosophy\, Amsterdam: University Press 2015. With Ch. Ljungberg (eds): Thinking with Diagrams – The Semiotic Basis of Human Cognition\, Boston/ Berlin 2016. With Sigrid Weigel: Testimony/Bearing Witness. Epistemology\, Ethics\, History\, Culture\, London 2017. See also: http://www.sybillekraemer.de/en/ \nCosponsors include the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies\, Transcriptions\, Graduate Center for Literary Research (GCLR)\, and Comparative Literature Program. Sybille Krämer’s Max Kade Visiting Professorship in Winter 2022 has been generously supported by the Max Kade Foundation and Humanities and Fine Arts at UC Santa Barbara. \nThis is an in person event.

SUMMARY:Talk: “I am fragile and small”: Versions of Masculinity in Soviet Unofficial Poetics
DESCRIPTION:In “’I am fragile and small’”: Versions of Masculinity in Soviet Unofficial Poetics\,” Ainsley Morse will examine the presentation of masculinity (usually that of the lyric speaker) in the work of several unofficial poets of the late Soviet period. As an institution\, unofficial literature occupied a powerless position vis-a-vis officially published literature; yet\, unofficial poets drew on the tradition of predecessors including Vladimir Mayakovsky and Daniil Kharms to construct a lyric presence that combined exaggerated weakness (“loserdom”) with the implicit power of the voice and word. Ainsley Morse is a scholar\, teacher and translator of Russian and former Yugoslav literatures. Her research focuses on the literature and culture of the post-war Soviet period\, particularly unofficial or “underground” poetry\, as well as the avant-garde and children’s literature. Her Ph.D. is from Harvard University. She has taught lately at Dartmouth College and UCSD; in 2018-19 she will be a visiting professor at Pomona College. \nSponsored by the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies\, Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Program in Comparative Literature\, and Translation Studies
