    Kline, College Room  6:00 pm – 7:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
    Language tables are held at Kline and entail about an hour of casual discussion during meal times, where students interested in a language get to know each other and practice colloquial conversations. They are held by the tutor of the language, and although sometimes professors join the table, it is a very low-stakes and fun setting to immerse yourself in a language, its culture and the foreign language community at Bard.

  • Monday, December 8, 2025 
    Weis Cinema, Campus Center   12:30 am – 2:00 pm EST/GMT-5
    This colloquium explores contemporary literature and visual art from Iberia and Latin America that challenge the present in order to imagine alternative futures. As dystopian narratives dominate and often reinforce the status quo, thinkers like Mark Fisher, Donna Haraway, and Layla Martínez argue that the inability to envision change is a political condition. Still, between utopia and dystopia, artists and writers are mapping new possibilities. In response to ecological collapse, gender violence, pandemics, and other social traumas, their work does more than speculate—it acts in the present, cultivating resistance and collective care. What roles do literature and art play in imagining change? What power do they hold amid widespread pessimism?

    *Open to all members of the Spanish-speaking community at Bard.*

    Online Event  1:30 pm EST/GMT-5
    Join us for an event featuring Giannina Braschi—poet, novelist, essayist, and pioneer of Spanglish in literature. Professor Patricia López-Gay will be in dialogue with Braschi. In an age saturated by dystopian narratives that often reinforce the status quo, Braschi’s hybrid and radical work in Spanish, English, and Spanglish opens up new ways of thinking about identity, power, and the future. Her groundbreaking contributions have been widely recognized with numerous awards, and she is celebrated as one of the most influential voices in contemporary Latinx literature.

    This dialogue is part of the A Cartography for the Future online speaking series, which engages with creative and critical practices that respond to the prevailing sense that we are witnessing the end of the world (as we know it.) From ecological collapse and pandemics to war and the breakdown of analog life, we ask how storytelling can move us beyond catastrophe, offering new imaginaries of feeling and forms of connection, survival, and renewal.

    Conducted in Spanish. Organized by Professor López-Gay. Co-sponsored by Spanish Studies, and LAIS. Open to the Bard Spanish-speaking community. To RSVP and to access relevant reading materials for this event, please contact Prof. López-Gay at [email protected]

    Join us for an event featuring Mar Gómez Glez—novelist, playwright, essayist, and regular contributor to "El País", one of Spain’s leading newspapers. Professor Patricia López-Gay will be in dialogue with Gómez Glez. Drawing from her writing, where the motif of the mushroom becomes a vehicle to imagine metamorphosis, resilience, and interconnection, we will explore storytelling through literature and the arts as a means to reshape how we relate to each other and to our environment.

    This dialogue is part of the "A Cartography for the Future" online speaking series, which engages with creative and critical practices that respond to the prevailing sense that we are witnessing the end of the world (as we know it). From ecological collapse and pandemics to war and the breakdown of analog life, we ask how storytelling can move us beyond catastrophe, offering new imaginaries of feeling and forms of connection, survival, and renewal.

    What challenges and opportunities does translating a play from Spanish into English present? This talk will focus on the case of Troya tropical by contemporary Cuban playwright Gleyvis Coro Montanet, a play written largely in rhyming octosyllabic verse, which I am translating for an anthology focusing on contemporary Cuban literature that draws on references to Ancient Greece and Rome. We will specifically look at the ways in which the piece, which is brimming with references to Cuban literature and history, playfully reimagines the Trojan War in the context of contemporary Cuba.

    Yafrainy Familia
    Olin Humanities, Room 102  5:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
    In the Western imagination, the Caribbean has often been configured as a feminized landscape—its territories likened to a woman’s body that is sexually available for conquest and exploitation. Similarly, Black and Indigenous Caribbean women’s bodies have been historically configured as sites of extraction, subjected to colonial fantasies of production and reproduction. Focusing on the island of Hispaniola as a case study, this talk traces the role of Western travel narratives, illustrated maps, and nationalist cultural production in shaping these racialized and gendered spatial tropes. Through literary and visual analysis, Familia considers a genealogy of Western-masculine narratives that have shaped enduring colonial visions of the Caribbean, from the writings of Christopher Columbus and the cartographic work of Henry Popple to the literary texts of Francisco Javier Angulo Guridi. She then situates the work of contemporary Dominican visual artist Firelei Báez as a powerful counter-narrative, arguing that Báez’s series of map paintings strategically reckon with the violence of these historical archives, while illuminating the spatial strategies Caribbean women and femmes have employed to disrupt this colonial geographical imagination.

    Yafrainy Familia is a PhD candidate in Spanish and an Interdisciplinary Doctoral Fellow in Caribbean Literatures, Arts and Cultures at the University of Virginia. She holds a master’s degree in creative writing from Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona. She specializes in contemporary Caribbean literature and visual culture from a comparative perspective across the Spanish, French and English-speaking Caribbeans. Her research focuses on Caribbean women writers and artists and engages feminist, decolonial, and digital humanities methods. Her work has been supported by the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art (ISLAA), Center for Global Inquiry and Innovation, and UVA’s Department of Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, among others. She is also a Solidarity Fellow in the Mellon-funded digital humanities project Diaspora Solidarities Lab, which supports solidarity work in Black and ethnic studies. Her writing has appeared or is forthcoming in Meridians: feminism, race, transnationalism; The Acentos Review; and the exhibition catalogue of Diasporic Collage: Puerto Rico and the Survival of a People.

    Dr. Ethel Barja Cuyutupa
    Olin Humanities, Room 102  5:30 pm – 6:30 pm EST/GMT-5
    This presentation will discuss twenty-first century poetry by two Afro-Hispanophone Caribbean poets, Mayra Santos-Febres from Puerto Rico and Soleida Ríos from Cuba, to underline how their poetry imagines futures under threatening circumstances such as forced displacement and anti-blackness. How does the longue durée of Black resistance influence twenty-first-century poetics?

    Dr. Ethel Barja Cuyutupa will present her research, which takes place through an interdisciplinary approach in between history and poetics and in dialogue with scholars interested in how lyric language is historically inflicted and intertwined with social justice and Blackness. The intertwining of imagery of long-lasting Black resistance and the emotional and political dimensions of the posthuman lyric subject ensures the poetics of maroonage exposes transhistorical genealogies of hope.

    Ethel Barja is a scholar, educator, and award-winning poet originally from the Andes, Peru. She holds a PhD in Hispanic Studies from Brown University and an MA in Hispanic literary Studies from the University of Illinois at Chicago. She is an Assistant Professor in the Modern Languages and Intercultural Studies Department at Salisbury University. Her research focuses on transnational and interdisciplinary approaches to Hispanophone Caribbean, Andean, and Latinx literature, integrating critical Indigenous studies, Afro-poetics, gender, and posthuman studies. She is the author of the monograph titled Poesía e insurrección: La Revolución cubana en el imaginario latinoamericano. Her poetry collections include Insomnio Vocal, Hope is Tanning on a Nudist Beach, and La Muda.

    Dr. Juan Diego Mariátegui
    Olin Humanities, Room 102  5:30 pm – 6:30 pm EST/GMT-5
    Puerto Rico emerged from the 1950s transformed. By 1952, governor Luis Muñoz Marín inaugurated the Free Associated State, a new legal status that ostensibly ended Puerto Rico’s colonial subordination as a “non-incorporated territory” of the United States. Another key development in these heady years was the Korean War (1950-1953), in which 61,000 Puerto Rican soldiers participated. This conflict was crucial because it allowed Muñoz Marín to present Puerto Rico as an exemplary defender of capitalist democracy and thereby discursively support its colonial relationship with the United States. But there is a parallel war that occurred in this period: the armed insurrection known as the Jayuya Uprising that Pedro Albizu Campos and the pro-independence Nationalist Party launched as a response to the Free Associated State. This talk centers on two opposed visions of war, a nationalist one and a neo-imperialist one. Through the speeches of governor Luis Muñoz Marín, poems by the Nationalist mystic Francisco Matos Paoli, and a short story by pro-independence author José Luis González, I explore how literary representations of these armed conflicts formed different anti-colonialist cultural and political subjectivities at a time when the island’s commitment to the U.S. was enshrined.

    Juan Diego Mariátegui is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at Lehigh University. Prior to that he received a PhD in Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian Studies from the University of Chicago as well as a B.A. in Comparative Literature and Hispanic Studies from Brown University. His teaching and research focus on modern Puerto Rican and Cuban literature, particularly the way literary representations of space explore the relationship between man and the natural world, the cultural dimensions of colonialism, and the tensions between citizenship and diaspora.

    Gisabel Leonardo
    Olin Humanities, Room 102  5:30 pm – 6:30 pm EST/GMT-5
    In Junot Diaz’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, Lola explores her contentious relationship with her mother, childhood trauma, and racial identity through hair. Similarly, Shenny De Los Angeles’ autobiographical documentary short “The Ritual to Beauty” explores themes of race, gender, and haircare through intimate interviews with Shenny’s mother and grandmother. These women turn to haircare as a site of expression to address the trauma they and the women before them have endured. In critical moments of release, both Lola and Shenny shave their heads in complete refusal of the Dominican aesthetics of race that promote hair straightening. In a Dominican context, the “Big Chop”—as this is often referred to in anglophone cultures—conjures a negative affect that mirrors the traumatic memory of El Corte, or The Parsley Massacre (1937), when tens of thousands of Haitians were slaughtered at the hands of Dominican armed forces. The works explored here confront the racial terror of the corte to heal generational trauma rooted in an anti-Black aesthetic imaginary. Through literature and visual media, this talk explores the nuances and consequences of the “chop” as an act of aesthetic refusal and an affirmation of Dominican Blackness.

    Gisabel Leonardo is a PhD candidate in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese with a graduate minor in Latina/o Studies. Her interdisciplinary work centers expressions of gender, race, and sexuality through performance in contemporary Dominican and diasporic Dominican literary, artistic, and musical cultures. While at Illinois, she had the pleasure of designing and facilitating language, literature, culture, and media studies courses at several levels of instruction while also serving as a Graduate College Fellow and a Humanities Research Institute Predoctoral Fellow. Her teaching and research interests aim to center the cultural and literary production of marginalized voices across the Hispanophone Caribbean and its US diaspora. Her current work Melenas Malcriadas: The Black Aesthetics of Hair and Dominicanidad examines the conflicting affects of the Dominican hair salon and how Dominican hair culture is reproduced and reimagined in music, literature, and art.

    on Feminist Activism and Las que faltaban (Those Who Were Missing from History)
    Online Event  10:30 am – 11:30 am EDT/GMT-4
    Join us for an engaging conversation with Cristina Oñoro, an emerging feminist figure in Spanish intellectual circles, who has focused her career on highlighting the testimonies of women writers marginalized or overlooked in cultural history.

    This event will include a short talk followed by an interactive Q&A session. Oñoro will discuss her book, Las que faltaban (Those Who Were Missing from History), known for its insightful exploration of female authors who were purposely erased from cultural history.

    Olin Humanities, Room 301  10:10 am – 11:30 am EDT/GMT-4
    This presentation delves into the life and correspondence of Patricia Zalamea’s grandmother, Amelia Costa Charroalde, a woman born in Madrid in 1904, who married the renowned Colombian writer and diplomat Jorge Zalamea Borda. Amelia’s story is pieced together through the letters and photographs she exchanged with her mother, Gregoria Charroalde, during the turbulent years of the Spanish Civil War. While Amelia enjoyed a comfortable life in Bogotá and Mexico, her mother in Barcelona faced the harsh realities of the war, running a laundry business to survive. Amelia tragically passed away in 1943 at the age of 39. It took over fifty years for the families on both sides of the Atlantic to reconnect. Patricia Zalamea's ongoing research project explores the family archives to shed light on the lives of these two women, long overlooked by history, offering a glimpse into their personal experiences during extraordinary times.

    Alicia Partnoy is a poet, memoirist, scholar, and human rights activist. One of Argentina's 30,000 "disappeared", she was abducted from her home by secret police in 1977 and taken to a concentration camp where she was tortured, and where most of the other prisoners were killed. Her writings were smuggled out of prison and published anonymously in human rights journals. In this session we will discuss Partnoy's literary testimony of her disappearance and imprisonment, titled La escuelita/The Little School. Told in a series of tales that resound in memory like parables, La escuelita is the proof of the resilience of the human spirit and the healing powers of art. Cosponsored by OSUN and LAIS.

While the dance is accorded a superficial treatment in mass media (i.e., tango=sex), the essence of tango is rooted in a deeply human and universal longing for community and connection. The transcendent meaning at the core of tango’s origins remains more relevant than ever within our global pandemic present.

      A presentation followed by an open discussion, in Spanish, with Prof. Jimena Zuluaga from Universidad de los Andes
    Online Event  2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
    The industrial society created great archival structures to intermediate products, services and information circulation. The digital environment has challenged not only these mediation systems but its materiality and the hierarchy and power relationships associated with these exchanges. In this session we will discuss these transformations emphasizing on digital storytelling related to the arts in particular, and to cultural industries in general. 

    Prof. Zuluaga is Associate professor at the Center for Journalism Studies, Ceper, at Universidad de los Andes, Bogota, Colombia. Her research and teaching are related to digital media and technology, with an emphasis on the historical and social perspective of technology and the active role of audiences.

    Global modernism exists only in translation. Its condition of possibility is the circulation of texts through time and space, across languages and in languages that are not the texts’ own. Historically speaking, the texts we think of as modernist are, almost without exception, the products of lively eras of translation in an expanded sense that reaches beyond the strict remit of textual translation between languages. In order to have global modernism, then, there must be translation and, necessarily, its distortions. Global modernism, by foregrounding this established problematic of translation in the context of an awareness of the unevenness of global exchange, highlights the centrality of language politics to modernist literary creation. 

    The study of global modernism, too, relies on active and continuous translation efforts. Contemporary translators, many of them themselves practicing poets or writers, are increasingly making available modernisms from around the world. In doing so, they underscore the extent to which modernists so often regarded translation as a primary creative act rather than secondary or derivative one. 

    This roundtable and reading features the work of four scholars and translators of modernist poetry who contributed original translations to the anthology Global Modernists on Modernism (Bloomsbury, 2020) and whose efforts shine illuminating cross-lights on the modernist labour of translation. As several of our participants are also practicing multilingual poets, the event will offer an occasion to listen to and reflect on the contemporary legacies of modernist poetics.

    This conversation, held under the shared auspices of the Literature Program at Bard College and Concordia University’s Centre for Expanded Poetics, is the second in a three-part series exploring global modernism, in celebration of the anthology. It was preceded by a roundtable on “Editing Global Modernism,” held on October 23, and will be followed by a workshop on pedagogy and global modernism on Friday, December 4, 1:30–4:30pm EST.

Her writing is informed by a multilingual poetics grounded in a fluently bilingual identity in English and Afrikaans, and a curiosity about languages generally. Her debut multilingual collection of essay-like long poems, Ekke, won the 2019 Pat Lowther Memorial Award for a book of poetry published by a woman in Canada, and was shortlisted for the Gerald Lampert Memorial Award for a debut collection. Her second English collection, Hell Light Flesh, was published by Palimpsest Press in September 2020, and her first Afrikaans book, ver taal, is currently under consideration for publication in South Africa.

    A Two-Session Cyber Workshop with Paloma Celis Carbajal, Curator for Latin American, Iberian, and U.S. Latino Collections, at the NY Public Library (Session 2)
    Online Event  2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
    Some five years ago, the New York Times reported that the book in print was far from dead, a plot twist to the numerous predictions that the 21st century would turn books into bytes only. However, the current pandemic could bring about another plot change given that most aspects of our lives have moved to the digital realm. We are all aware that the virtual plane is not equally accessible throughout the world. How are the current trends defining book production worldwide, but more specifically in Latin America? How does its past and present inform us as to where it's heading? What is the role that libraries play, especially if these institutions have, as one of their goals, to document and preserve the intellectual production of our cultures? In these two sessions we will try to explore these questions together. Open to the wide Bard community.

    with Alys Moody, Harsha Ram, Stephen J. Ross,
    Kaitlin Staudt, and Camilla Sutherland

    Online Event  1:30 pm – 3:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
    Modernist studies has been transformed in recent years by the claim that modernism is a global phenomenon. Alongside work linking British, Irish, North American, and European modernists to the rest of the world, we have seen controversial claims for modernism’s flourishing in non-Western locations, from Japan to Africa, from Turkey to the Caucasus, and from South-East Asia to Latin America. This uncoupling of modernism from a strictly Western teleology remains under-theorised, and under-sourced. How do we study modernism on a global scale? What implications for modernist scholarship does this disciplinary transformation bring, especially in relation to collaborative work? And what new ways of seeing and understanding modernism arise from adopting a global perspective?

    This roundtable showcases the methods and findings of Global Modernists on Modernism (Bloomsbury, 2020), a new anthology of source texts for global modernism. The book gathers texts by practitioners (writers, artists, critics, etc.) that reflect on the theory and practice of modernism around the world. In addition to celebrating (belatedly!) the publication of this volume last January, we will be discussing the collaborative nature of global modernist research and our “inductive” method of assembling and theorizing the anthology’s texts.

    The roundtable brings together five editors of the anthology: experts in Russian and Georgian modernism (Harsha Ram), Turkish modernism (Kaitlin Staudt), and Latin American modernism (Camilla Sutherland) with the volume’s general editors, who will speak to modernism in sub-Saharan Africa (Alys Moody), and the Ashkenazi Jewish diaspora (Stephen Ross). We will discuss how global modernism troubles existing assumptions of modernist studies, and what the project of translating, editing, and circulating primary sources can contribute to this conversation. Following short position statements by each speaker, the roundtable will focus on discussion among presenters and with audience members.

    This conversation, held under the shared auspices of the Literature Program at Bard College and Concordia University’s Centre for Expanded Poetics, is the first of a three-part series exploring global modernism, in celebration of the anthology. It will be followed by a discussion with poet-translators associated with the anthology on Thursday, 12 November, 6-7:30pm EST; and a workshop on pedagogy and global modernism on Friday, 4 December, 1:30-4:30pm EST.

    To receive the Zoom invitation for this event, please email [email protected]. Invitations will be sent out on the morning of the event.

    Artist-poet Cecilia Vicuña creates songs, performances, installations, paintings, films, written works, books, lectures, and sculptures. Born in Chile, profoundly impacted by the encouraging time of Allende, the subsequent terrors of Pinochet, and decades lived in exile, Vicuña makes work that is always attentive to ethics, the earth, and history. Her improvisatory, participatory performances, often associated with site-specific installations, emphasize the collective nature of action and creativity to bring forth justice, balance, and the transformation of the world. Vicuña will read from her latest book, Núcleo.

      RKC 102  1:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
    In this interdisciplinary conference, advanced students in Spanish studies will propose a possible archeology of autobiographical visual and written accounts produced in Spain, put in dialogue with Latin American and French cultural manifestations. We will focus on some of the numerous literary, film, and photography productions of our cultural present that seek to undermine the foundations of the split between fiction and reality. In this context, following Don Quixote, fiction will be understood as the space wherein the self—the author or the artist, the reader or the viewer—experiences, and experiments with, the world. Some questions that will arise in the students’ presentations are: What are the limits of art and literature? How does life interfere with fiction? How does fiction operate within life? 

    Open to all. In Spanish. Please join us on Friday, May 10, 1–3 pm, in RKC 102.

     PRAISE FOR VALERIA LUISELLI
    “The novel truly becomes novel again in Luiselli’s hands—electric, elastic, alluring, new. . . . She is a superb chronicler.” —New York Times

    “Riveting, lyrical, virtuosic. . . . Luiselli’s metaphors are wrought with devastating precision. . . . The brilliance of the writing stirs rage and pity. It humanizes us.” —New York Times Book Review

    “Daring, wholly original, brilliant . . . fascinating. . . . Luiselli is an extraordinary writer [with] a freewheeling novelist’s imagination.” —NPR

    “A comprehensive literary intelligence.” —James Wood, New Yorker

    “A master. . . . Luiselli confronts big picture questions: What does it mean to be American? To what lengths should we go to bear witness? Will history ever stop repeating itself? All the while, her language is so transporting, it stops you time and again.” —Carmen Maria Machado, O Magazine

    “One of the most fascinating and impassioned authors at work today.” —Literary Hub

    Olin Humanities, Room 102  6:00 pm – 7:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
    How is it that a country of immigrants like the United States can be home to such a virulent strain of anti-immigrant sentiments and policies? Part of the answer to this question, Prof. James Fernández (NYU) sustains, has to do with the way in which descendants of immigrants (mis)construe the stories of their ancestors. For almost 10 years now, in collaboration with Luis Argeo, Prof. Fernández has been digitizing and analyzing the family archives of descendants of Spaniards who emigrated to the United States in the early 20th century. They have also conducted interviews with the custodians of those archives: children, grandchildren, and, in some cases, great-grandchildren of the immigrants. In this talk, Prof. Fernández discusses patterns in the discrepancies we often find between the historical record embodied in the archives, and the family lore that has developed around them. 

    Open to all. In English.

    Bard alumnus (Class of 2014) and current U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer Eric Benjamin Gordon will speak about his current work and experiences in Paraguay. One of the lesser-known and poorer countries of South America, Paraguay also boasts the unique cultural and lingual distinction of having over 90 percent of its population speak an indigenous language. This talk will cover some important factors in the history, language, and culture of Paraguay, all of which contribute to its ranking as the “happiest country” in the world by the Gallup Poll and Peace Corps Worldwide.

    Each year, approximately 400,000 Central Americans enter Mexico “irregularly,” using unofficial entry points. The vast majority are fleeing the extreme violence in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, countries whose murder rates consistently rank among the world’s highest. Most hope to obtain asylum in the U.S., but that’s now becoming virtually impossible.

    Americans often wonder why people would choose to take such a dangerous journey. A volunteer in a Mexican shelter summarized it this way: “They think, ‘If I stay in my home country, I will die. If I go, I may die.’ They choose between certain and possible death.”

    Follow the trail of these migrant lives as documented in photographs by Joseph Sorrentino under the auspices of the Puffin Foundation, the Fund for Investigative Journalism and The Investigative Fund at the Nation Institute.

    Chapel of the Holy Innocents  6:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
    The celebrated poet and art critic Roberto Tejada, author of works including Mirrors for Gold and Exposition Park, reads from his work Thursday, April 14th, at 6:00 p.m. in the Bard chapel, introduced by Ann Lauterbach.

    The event is free and open to the public; no tickets or reservations are required.

    “Full Foreground composes a musical sequence whose desire is for lyric discourse to voice bodily sensation in the shadow of global command. It speaks of discontinuous times and locations on the borderlands of Mexico, the United States, and beyond, from 1997 to the present. The prologue poem was written in the weeks prior to the 2003 invasion of Iraq; the afterword, on the ten-year anniversary of the September 11 attacks, with language lifted from N. R. Kleinfield (New York Times, 12 September 2001, p.A1). From that duration and geography is reflected a language of current events, journalism, state demagoguery, the ethnographic account, and the pathologies of violence and massacre; extensions of a self “myself”—in spaces of public address.” — Roberto Tejada, Notes to Full Foreground (2012)
     
    “Crisscrossing languages, geographical borders (the Mexican-United States border is only one of several), and cultural taboos, Exposition Park is, in the most literal sense, a transgressive text, one of those books that rewards reading after reading.” —Tyrone Williams

    “Tejada’s work is with dismantling borders and upsetting classifications. The result is a layered poetry that finds its form in dense stanzas composed of lines that frequently veer toward a kind of fractured prose.”—Alan Gilbert

    “You walk through his world as a voyeur, a traveler of mirrors, witnessing your own reflection in the masses of flesh, simultaneously aroused and disturbed at the same time. Tejada’s work is an invitation, a window into another world, unabashedly erotic, and succinct.” —Christine Lark Fox

    A lecture by Gerardo Piña-Rosales, Prof. of Spanish Literature at CUNY and Director of the North American Academy of the Spanish Language
    Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium  5:30 pm – 7:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
    The influence of Cervantes’ Don Quixote on contemporary literature is unmeasurable. Prof. Piña-Rosales will refer to works by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Gustav Flaubert and Franz Kafka, Herman Melville, Vladimir Nabokov and Kathy Acker, all haunted by the ghost of Cervantes. Piña-Rosales will also offer a reflection on possible contemporary readings of Don Quixote by analyzing various editions of the work that have recently appeared both in English translation and in Spanish, including the new commemorative edition by the Royal Spanish Academy.
     
    This event is conceived as a tribute to the living ghost of Miguel de Cervantes, founder of the modern novel, at the occasion of the 400th anniversary of his death. Piña-Rosales’ lecture will be followed a bilingual reading of excerpts from his novella, Don Quijote en Manhattan/Don Quixote in Manhattan.
     
    In English. Open to all.

    Edith Grossman is widely considered one of the most accomplished Spanish-to-English translators in the world. Also a literary critic and teacher, she is best known for translating the works of Nobel laureates Gabriel García Márquez and Mario Vargas Llosa, among many others. Grossman's 2003 translation of Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote has been hailed as one of the finest English-language translations of the classic Spanish novel. She has been the recipient of numerous awards and honors including Fulbright, Woodrow Wilson, and Guggenheim Fellowships, the PEN Ralph Manheim Medal for Translation, an Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and induction into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.Grossman will read from her forthcoming translations of the prose and poetry of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (Norton, 2015). Sor Juana (1651–1695), known during the Spanish Golden Age as "the Tenth Muse" and "The Phoenix of Mexico," is now read as a proto-feminist and early defender of the right of women to a formal education. Grossman will discuss the challenges of translating Sor Juana’s work and will speak of the importance for the contemporary reader of this 17th-century colonial writer and self-taught intellectual.

    The renowned Argentine poet, translator, and literary critic Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972) published seven books of poetry during her short yet prolific lifetime. Among the numerous unpublished poems found in her archive held at Princeton University there are around two dozen French verse texts, some of which Pizarnik translated into Spanish and subsequently edited. Focusing on specific poems included in El infierno musical and Textos de sombra y últimos poemas, I will discuss self-translation as part of Pizarnik’s creative process. Unpublished material from the archive will be presented.Patricio Ferrari left Argentina for the United States at the age of sixteen, and since that time has lived in India, France, Italy, Germany, Portugal, and Sweden. His work as literary critic, editor and translator bridges a life between languages. In 2012 Ferrari received a PhD in Portuguese Linguistics from the University of Lisbon with a dissertation on the metrics of Fernando Pessoa. He currently holds a post-doctoral position at Brown University, where he is pursuing an MFA in poetry.

    Is the Author Dead? Haunted by the Ghost of Cervantes
    Preston Theater  Note new date due to Tuesday's weather cancellation.

    Miguel de Cervantes’s first modern novel, Don Quixote, is a work intra-textually attributed to a fictional Moorish author, at a time when the Moors were being expelled from Spain. Authors trapped in fiction are sometimes persecuted, and then killed by their characters; others feel terrified, and become invisible as they hide behind the lines they write. Lastly, some authors are dead (or said to be dead), and speak to us from their tombs. What are the changing ways in which the ghostly figure of the author returns to fiction? What does it mean to be an author? With an emphasis on Spanish literature put in conversation with Latin American and Portuguese literatures, this conference invites to reflect on the notion of authorship as it was originally redefined with the birth of modern novel in Golden Age Spain, and reshaped during Romanticism and contemporary times.

    All panel discussions will be in English. Open to the Bard Community.

    On Art, War, and the Avatars of Filmmaking
    Bertelsmann Campus Center, Weis Cinema  Screening followed by Q&A with the filmmakers.Both films are in Spanish with English subtitles.   The Guernica Variations (Guillermo Peydró, 2012, 26 min): Picasso’s Guernica is the image of a disproportionate attack on unarmed civilians to demoralize and subjugate a whole population, it encapsulates a turning point that ushered in today’s use of terror against civilians.This film received the 2013 Best Documentary Award from Uruguay’s International Short Film Festival, among other awards, and has been widely screened at museums, including the Reina Sofia National Museum.    City of Signs (Samuel Alarcón, 2009, 62 min): When César Alarcón travels to Pompeii to collect ‘psychophonies’ - electronic voice phenomena - from Vesuvius’s great eruption, he finds that none contain sounds from the year 79 AD. Eloquent voices from the recent past will nonetheless lead him to the exploration of Roberto Rossellini’s mysterious life and film production. This film received the 2011 Román Gubern Essay-Film Award, among other awards.

    ¡El Barrio No Se Vende! ¡Se Ama y Se Defiende!
    National Speaking Tour – Fall 2012

    Olin Humanities, Room 202  “BEST POWER TO THE PEOPLE MOVEMENT IN NYC” - VILLAGE VOICE

    “IT IS REAL GRASS-ROOTS DEMOCRACY, AND IT IS BEING PRACTICED BY THE IMMIGRANTS WHO LIVE IN EAST HARLEM” - NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

    Movement for Justice in El Barrio was founded in 2004 by immigrants and low-income people of color of East Harlem to fight for dignity and against neoliberal displacement. A majority- women of color organization, Movement operates on a commitment to self-determination, autonomy, and participatory democracy.

    Driven by multi-national corporations and profit-seeking landlords, and facilitated by city officials, gentrification has swept through New York City, causing the wholesale displacement of low-income people of color and immigrants from their communities. East Harlem is experiencing a wave of harassment, abuse, and intimidation as greedy landlords attempt to evict community members from their homes in order to raise rents and increase profits. With over 850 members, Movement has gone building-to-building to organize with their fellow neighbors to build a neighborhood-wide movement for dignity and justice—from below and to the left.

    Please encourage your students to come!

      Stitches in Time
    Olin 102 
    Professor Paul Julian Smith

    This lecture begins by placing Almodóvar's eighteenth feature in the context of the audiovisual scene in Spain on its release, calling attention to Almodóvar's exceptionalism in his own country. It goes on to offer a close formal analysis of the film and to identify its connections with the rest of the director's corpus. These echoes persist in spite of the fact The Skin I Live In is new for the director in its overt identification with the horror genre and in its status as adaptation of a pre-existing novel. Finally the talk suggests that The Skin I Live In constitutes a series of metaphors for the filmmaking process, not the least of which are the sewing of fabric and the suturing of skin, analogous to the editing of the celluloid that Almodóvar employs here for the last time.


    Paul Julian Smith is Distinguished Professor of Spanish at The Graduate Center, CUNY. He is an internationally recognized critic in Hispanic cultural studies. Author of Desire Unlimited: The Cinema of Pedro Almodóvar (Verso, 1994 and 2000), and Laws of Desire: Questions of Homosexuality in Spanish Writing and Film 1960-1990 (Oxford University Press, 1992). Smith's research also focuses on Mexico, including a book on the groundbreaking film Amores Perros (BFI, 2003). He was a juror at the Morelia Film Festival in Mexico in 2009, and is a regular contributor to Film Quarterly and Sight and Sound. 

    Please note:
    - The lecture location has changde to Olin 102.  
    - There is a special screening of the film on May 8th at 7pm in Preston Theater (110).

    Please join us and encourage students to attend!

    Olin 205  Rewriting the Lives of Spain’s “Stolen Children”: The Biographical Impulse and Social Media

    Only in the past few years has it become widely known that one of the largest networks of child trafficking in contemporary Europe was created in Francoist Spain and remained operative until the late 90s. This talk will analyze the biographical and autobiographical narratives that take shape in Facebook groups created by the victims, archival spaces where individuals share information and seek to complete and rewrite their life stories. The new technology changes not simply the archiving process, but what is archivable in a narrative form. Through the formation of collective digital archives, families and individuals become their own archivists--they create and add content in many different forms and media, such as written official documents, oral testimony, familial and personal records, photographs, and audiovisual recordings. Is there a distinctive cultural role for such web-based archives in witnessing history and memorializing our lives, both individually and collectively, in contemporary Spain?

    Autobiographical narratives are generally constructed upon the impression of an individual’s past life experiences in the present time: what “might” or “will have been”. As part of a permanently updatable intertext of narratives, the life stories of the stolen children are also marked by the shared loss of what “could have been (and will never be)”. From such absence there arises a collective desire to rewrite the lives of entire generations of people. Could we maybe speak of a collective “biographical impulse” that would surpass and frame the autobiographical in the collective archives created for, and by, the “stolen children”?

    Olin 205  Literary Dreamers: A Visual Journey from Bernat Metge to Francisco de Quevedo

    My research study analyzes the work of several Catalan and Castilian authors, who use the motif of the dream as a specific humanist perspective, a literary genre, and a philosophical classical discourse. Thus, this presentation explores the intersection of culture, religion, and literary theory in the work of two Iberian Peninsular authors: Lo somni (1399) by the Catalan writer Bernat Metge (1350-1413) and Los sueños (1627) by the Castilian Francisco de Quevedo y Villegas (1580-1645). Both works represent excellent examples of the use of dreams as a cultural and historical narrative of two epochs: Catalan Humanism and Castilian-Spanish Baroque. I suggest that both texts should be explored in relation to the notion of Christian Humanism, where the use of the dream emerges as a literary genre and artistic philosophical device. I argue that this cross-pollination of humanisms from the Mediterranean world served as a bridge between the different civilizations and cultures. Moreover, as my multidisciplinary research indicates, I include exhaustive visual representations of dreams from the Medieval to Contemporary periods. Through this visual journey, I demonstrate that the introduction of dreams in these narratives is instrumental in separating reality and fiction.

    Olin 202  Spain and America in Antonio Machado's Early Prose

    Traditionally, the work of Spanish poet Antonio Machado (Sevilla, 1875 – Collioure, 1939) has been seen as an evolutionary process, from his more introspective first texts to his socially and politically engaged later works. However, Machado’s social and political concerns can already be found in his very first publications, that is, in the articles that appeared in the newspaper “La Caricatura” (“The Caricature”) in 1893. These rich, but rarely studied, satirical articles will be the subject of my presentation, which will focus on the author’s reflection on the development of Spain as a modern nation and its relationship to the American colonies in the aftermath of the celebrations of the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus’ arrival in the Americas.

A Student Conference (11 December)

Is the Author Dead? Haunted by the Ghost of Cervantes
Sponsored by Division of Languages and Literature; Experimental Humanities Program; LAIS Program; Spanish Studies

Miguel de Cervantes’s first modern novel, Don Quixote, is a work intratextually attributed to a fictional Moorish author, at a time when the Moors were being expelled from Spain. Authors trapped in fiction are sometimes persecuted, and then killed by their characters; others feel terrified, and become invisible as they hide behind the lines they write. Lastly, some authors are dead (or said to be dead), and speak to us from their tombs. What are the changing ways in which the ghostly figure of the author returns to fiction? What does it mean to be an author? With an emphasis on Spanish literature put in conversation with Latin American and Portuguese literatures, this conference invites to reflect on the notion of authorship as it was originally redefined with the birth of modern novel in Golden Age Spain, and reshaped during Romanticism and contemporary times. All panel discussions will be in English. Open to the Bard community.

Meet the Filmmakers! The Guernica Variations and City of Signs (18 March)

On Art, War, and the Avatars of Filmmaking
Sponsored by Art History Program; Division of Languages and Literature; Hannah Arendt Center; Human Rights Program; Italian Studies Program; LAIS Program; Middle Eastern Studies Program; Spanish Studies

Both films are in Spanish with English subtitles.   

The Guernica Variations (Guillermo Peydró, 2012, 26 min): Picasso’s Guernica is the image of a disproportionate attack on unarmed civilians to demoralize and subjugate a whole population, it encapsulates a turning point that ushered in today’s use of terror against civilians. This film received the 2013 Best Documentary Award from Uruguay’s International Short Film Festival, among other awards, and has been widely screened at museums, including the Reina Sofia National Museum.    

City of Signs (Samuel Alarcón, 2009, 62 min): When César Alarcón travels to Pompeii to collect “psychophonies”—electronic voice phenomena—from Vesuvius’s great eruption, he finds that none contain sounds from the year 79 AD. Eloquent voices from the recent past will nonetheless lead him to the exploration of Roberto Rossellini’s mysterious life and film production. This film received the 2011 Román Gubern Essay-Film Award, among other awards.

“BEST POWER TO THE PEOPLE MOVEMENT IN NYC” —VILLAGE VOICE

“IT IS REAL GRASS-ROOTS DEMOCRACY, AND IT IS BEING PRACTICED BY THE IMMIGRANTS WHO LIVE IN EAST HARLEM” —NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

Movement for Justice in El Barrio was founded in 2004 by immigrants and low-income people of color of East Harlem to fight for dignity and against neoliberal displacement. A majority-women of color organization, Movement operates on a commitment to self-determination, autonomy, and participatory democracy.

Driven by multinational corporations and profit-seeking landlords, and facilitated by city officials, gentrification has swept through New York City, causing the wholesale displacement of low-income people of color and immigrants from their communities. East Harlem is experiencing a wave of harassment, abuse, and intimidation as greedy landlords attempt to evict community members from their homes in order to raise rents and increase profits. With over 850 members, Movement has gone building to building to organize with their fellow neighbors to build a neighborhood-wide movement for dignity and justice—from below and to the left.

Racist Killings, Mourning Songs, and a 13-Year-Old Girl (19 September)

Reading and Discussion (in English) With Eminent German-Jewish Writer Esther Dischereit
Sponsored by the Center for Civic Engagement; German Studies Program; Human Rights Project; Jewish Studies Program

Esther Dischereit is one of the most exciting writers and thought-provoking public intellectuals in Germany today. Her poems, novels, essays, and plays, including radio plays; her opera libretti; and her sound installations offer unique insights into the Jewish life of contemporary Europe. She collaborates with composers and musicians and founded the avant-garde project WordMusicSpace/Sound-Concepts. Coming from a survivors’ family, commemoration (of the Holocaust) has been a constant reference point in her work. Dischereit’s writings also reflect on what it means to be a woman and an intellectual. The Comprehensive Historical Encyclopedia on Jewish Women calls her an “outstanding writer” among Jewish artists in the twenty-first century.

Recently, a series of racist killings, committed by the so-called National Socialist Underground (NSU) organization, has shocked the German public. Dischereit can be regarded as the most important independent voice covering the legal and political investigations of this unprecedented crime in postwar Germany. While the media focused predominantly on the killers, Dischereit writes on the victims, their families, and friends, and started initiatives on their behalf. She addresses society’s responsibility—that is, our common task not to look away. She challenges widespread racism and xenophobia wherever it arises, including the high ranks of the police and secret service. Dischereit has commented on the topic on television and radio, and in prominent newspapers. As an artist she responded with an amazing collection of “Mourning Songs,” which eventually will evolve into an opera—songs of lament, and songs of accusation.

Almodóvar's The Skin I Live In (2011) (9 May)

Stitches in Time
Sponsored by Spanish Studies

This lecture begins by placing Almodóvar's 18th feature in the context of the audiovisual scene in Spain on its release, calling attention to Almodóvar's exceptionalism in his own country. It goes on to offer a close formal analysis of the film and to identify its connections with the rest of the director's corpus. These echoes persist in spite of the fact The Skin I Live In is new for the director in its overt identification with the horror genre and in its status as adaptation of a preexisting novel. Finally, the talk suggests that The Skin I Live In constitutes a series of metaphors for the filmmaking process, not the least of which are the sewing of fabric and the suturing of skin, analogous to the editing of the celluloid that Almodóvar employs here for the last time.

Paul Julian Smith is Distinguished Professor of Spanish at The Graduate Center, CUNY. He is an internationally recognized critic in Hispanic cultural studies. Author of Desire Unlimited: The Cinema of Pedro Almodóvar (Verso, 1994 and 2000) and Laws of Desire: Questions of Homosexuality in Spanish Writing and Film 1960–1990 (Oxford University Press, 1992). Smith's research also focuses on Mexico, including a book on the groundbreaking film Amores Perros (BFI, 2003). He was a juror at the Morelia Film Festival in Mexico in 2009, and is a regular contributor to Film Quarterly and Sight and Sound.
