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

SUMMARY:Abolitionism and the Arts
DESCRIPTION:10 am – 5 pm Interdisciplinary Symposium at the Heyman Center for the Humanities\n5:30 pm Concert at the Maison Française\n\n\nThe goal of our conference is to bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to think through some key questions and issues that arise when we study the connections between the arts and the history of abolitionism in the Atlantic world\, e.g.: What approaches did writers\, musicians\, and artists take to the problems of slavery and the slave trade? In what ways did their creative activities subvert or reinscribe stereotypes about Africans and African-descended people? How did the materiality of the objects they produced—musical scores\, teapots\, broadsides—affect the types of abolitionist messages they promoted? Did these political artworks complement or stray from the official strategies of organizations like the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade? We are inviting scholars from art history\, literature\, musicology\, and history to present work that is grounded in their own fields but that also speaks to these wider historical questions. We hope the conference will create connections between scholars of different fields and inspire new scholarship on the theme of abolitionism and the arts.
