SUMMARY:SOF@50: Humanities in the World
DESCRIPTION:Co-Sponsored by The University Seminars on Cultural Memory and Public Humanities: Expanding Scholarship and Pedagogy \n(Faculty House and Heyman Center for The Humanities) \nFor the past 50 years\, the Columbia Society of Fellows has welcomed early-career researchers into a community of scholars whose research projects and teaching open new avenues of inquiry both within and across disciplines.  From its earliest years when it gathered in Faculty House\, the Society of Fellows has enjoyed a longstanding partnership with University Seminars in bringing together researchers to think together.  In celebration of this partnership and of the milestone anniversaries of both the Society of Fellows and The University Seminars\, the Society of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities and The University Seminars on Cultural Memory (#717) and Public Humanities (#805) are hosting a three-day conference\, Humanities in the World\, to welcome scholars from across the generations to discuss topics and questions that are of particular urgency for scholar-citizens at the present time—and to celebrate what we have accomplished together.

SUMMARY:Desire\, Unreason\, and Truth in Affect
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The University Seminar on Affect Studies \nThis workshop seeks to explore the tension between the universal normative claim to truth and the singular claim to truth in affect\, focusing on one of the strongest human emotions and experiences: erotic desire. In the absence of an absolute in a post-secular society\, the role of affect has stepped in to substantivize many normative claims—either culminating in a ‘politics of feeling’ or in prioritizing individual emotions and affective economies over normative categories such as justice or freedom. This has major implications for two of the most contested concepts in religious\, philosophical\, political\, and literary thought: truth and reason. Erotic desire is often thought to unsettle those very concepts: conceived as inevitably singular moments of rapture and ecstasy and often associated with the loss of (self-)control\, desire is believed to be located at the edge of ratio and language and therefore without viable claims to truth. Our workshop will highlight the subversive power of desire and/or affect and its inherent\, even if problematic relation to truth and reason. \nFor in-person registration\, please email the organizers: \nPatricia A. Dailey\npd2132@columbia.edu \nCaroline Sauter\ncaroline.sauter@nyu.edu

SUMMARY:Black Europe: A Field on the Move 
DESCRIPTION:Scholars across disciplines are increasingly treating “Black Europe” as a pertinent object of study. Yet conversations continue to take place regarding what “Black Europe” is. Does Black Europe describe a place\, an identity\, an aspiration\, or something else? Scholars oscillate between terms such as “Afropean\,” “African-European\,” and “Black European.” The institutionalization of Black European studies remains a work in progress\, and views vary on whether it is an academic field\, a subsection of Black Studies or African Diaspora Studies\, or a reference point for a set of inquiries and practices that exceed the bounds of academic discipline. \nBlack Europe: A Field on the Move encourages interdisciplinary conversation on these questions with four panels and two keynote presentations by scholars from across Europe and the US. \n
