Olin, Room 102
How did the ancient Greeks and Romans conceive of the nature of the human subject and its relationship to the divine?
The Neoplatonic philosopher Plotinus (203-270 CE) famously insisted that every human is doubled: our intellect “here” in the material world has an archetype “there” in a transcendent reality, where it eternally feasts on the intelligible Forms. This lecture will explore how Plotinus’s model of doubled selfhood fared in the generation that followed immediately upon his death, particularly in a debate between two of his most important Neoplatonic successors, Porphyry of Tyre (c. 234 – c. 305) and Iamblichus of Chalcis (c. 245 – c. 325). Specifically, it will explore the implications of this model of selfhood for ritual practice, that is, for the traditional worship of the gods.

This talk will describe some of the archeological evidence for astronomical knowledge in ancient Egypt and discuss the challenges of understanding (up to) 4,500-year-old texts, objects, and monuments.

Sarah Symons is an associate professor in the School of Interdisciplinary Science, McMaster University, Ontario. She studies the history of astronomy in ancient Egypt, with particular interests in timekeeping and astronomical maps, and is also director of the William J. McCallion Planetarium in Hamilton, Ontario. She is coeditor (with Bard’s Kassandra Miller) of Down to the Hour, a recently published book on ancient and classical timekeeping.

György Kurtág was born at Lugoj in the Bánát region of Romania on February 19, 1926. After moving to Budapest, he enrolled at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in 1946, and married the pianist Márta Kinsker in 1947. Beginning 1957, he spent a year in Paris working with the Hungarian art psychologist Marianne Stein and studying with Messiaen and Milhaud. Beginning in 1958 Kurtág coached students at the Béla Bartók Music Secondary School in Budapest and worked with soloists of the National Philhamonia. In 1967 he began teaching piano at the Liszt Academy, and then served as professor of chamber music until his retirement in 1986, though he continued to teach at there until 1993. As his work become more widely celebrated and travel outside Hungary became easier in the 1990s, he spent more time outside Hungary, as composer in residence with the Berlin Philharmonic (1993-94), Vienna Konzerthaus (1995), in the Netherlands (1996-98), in Berlin again (1998-99), and in Paris (1999-2001) at the invitation of the Ensemble Intercontemporain, Cité de la Musique and the Festival d’Automne. Kurtág won the prestigious 2006 Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition for his '...concertante...'.

Resnick Studio Classroom
“Right now and for the next five years, fifteen children ages four to seventeen at Still Waters in a Storm, a one-room schoolhouse in Brooklyn, are reading and translating Don Quixote from the Spanish original into English and retelling the tale as their own, reimagining the story of an old man in Spain in the late 1500s as a story of Spanish-speaking immigrant children living in Brooklyn today. The story has been adapted as and performed as musical theater, with dialogue and original songs written collectively by the kids. With the collaboration of world-renowned Edith Grossman, translator of the authoritative English version of Don Quixote.”
Co-sponsored by LAIS, the Division of Languages and Literature, and Bard's Translation and Translatability Initiative.

CCS Bard, Classroom 102
As a Hawai’i-born Americanist scholar, curator, and critic, Machida’s research draws on extended interviews with Asian American, Asian émigré, and artists of mixed heritages whose work engages with transcultural themes of circulation, contact, and cross-connections in today’s world. This talk highlights artworks spanning the 1990s to the early 2000s, which point to how the US Asian diaspora acts as a platform to shape artists’ sustaining identifications and imaginative attachments with the entangled histories that conjoin the Americas and the Pacific region to Asia, Europe, and Africa. Such work, by foregrounding subjectivities embedded in legacies of migration, trade, labor flows, colonialism, and war, is part of an expressive continuum that places Asian American artists in dynamic conversation with their counterparts in the global Asian diasporas.
Margo Machida, Ph.D. is Professor Emerita of Art History and Asian American Studies at the University of Connecticut. Born and raised in Hawai‘i, she is a scholar, independent curator, and cultural critic specializing in Asian American art and visual culture. She has lectured widely on her research both nationally and internationally, and served as a curatorial advisor for the inaugural 2017 Honolulu Biennial. Professor Machida is currently a scholarly advisor and contributing essayist for the upcoming 2021 retrospective exhibition, Carlos Villa: Roots, Rituals and Actions (co-presented by the Asian Art Museum and San Francisco Art Institute, in collaboration with Newark Museum of Art). Her book, Unsettled Visions: Contemporary Asian American Artists and the Social Imaginary (Duke University Press, 2009) received the Cultural Studies Book Award from the Association for Asian American Studies. She is an Associate Editor of the journal, Asian Diasporic Visual Cultures and the Americas (Brill). Publications include: “Pacific Itineraries: Islands and Oceanic Imaginaries in Contemporary Asian American Art” (ADVA Journal, 2017); “Trans-Pacific Sitings: The Roving Imagery of Lynne Yamamoto” (Third Text, 2014); “Devouring Hawai‘i: Food, Consumption, and Contemporary Art” in Eating Asian America: A Food Studies Reader (NYU Press, 2013); and “Convergent Conversations – The Nexus of Asian American Art” in A Companion to Asian Art and Architecture (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011).

Stressful life events are known to precede depression, but we may be more reactive to some forms of stress than others. This talk will explore evidence that interpersonal stress—problems with peers, romantic partners, or family—uniquely affects the course of depression. Our longitudinal and experience sampling data suggest that improving social functioning and shifting one’s mindset about interpersonal problems are important aims when treating current depression or preventing future depression in young adults.

Olin, Room 102
In a classic paper, the philosopher of biology John Dupré argued that the reclassification of whales in the 19th century, from fishes to mammals, was not so much a correction of a scientific error as it was a reshuffling of largely arbitrary folk categories, since until the 19th century there was nothing in nature preventing the class of fish from including warm-blooded, milk-producing, live-birth-giving animals. More recently we have been encouraged, or perhaps pressured, to correct our previous “error” of believing that the dinosaurs went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous. They are still among us, we are told, chirping and flying about. Yet whatever phylogenetic discoveries reveal, so far the folk category of “dinosaur” has resisted most efforts to stretch it far enough to include, e.g., sparrows. That is not what a dinosaur looks like, the person in the street will reliably insist. Unlike the case of whales and fish, no one has ever seen an actual dinosaur, and a priori we might expect the folk category that contains them to be more, not less, flexible than the one from which whales were lately expelled. What can this example show us about the relationship between scientific taxonomy and the semantics of natural-kind terms? Is there any sense at all in saying that birds are really dinosaurs in spite of the way we talk about them? In this talk—in which I range broadly to explore a number of basic conceptual problems of the philosophy of taxonomy—I willl argue that there is not.

The Doubled Self and the Worship of the Gods
Charles Stang, Director of the Center for the Study of World Religions, Harvard Divinity School
Thursday, February 6, 2020
4:45–6:15 pm
Olin, Room 102How did the ancient Greeks and Romans conceive of the nature of the human subject and its relationship to the divine?
The Neoplatonic philosopher Plotinus (203-270 CE) famously insisted that every human is doubled: our intellect “here” in the material world has an archetype “there” in a transcendent reality, where it eternally feasts on the intelligible Forms. This lecture will explore how Plotinus’s model of doubled selfhood fared in the generation that followed immediately upon his death, particularly in a debate between two of his most important Neoplatonic successors, Porphyry of Tyre (c. 234 – c. 305) and Iamblichus of Chalcis (c. 245 – c. 325). Specifically, it will explore the implications of this model of selfhood for ritual practice, that is, for the traditional worship of the gods.

György Kurtág was born at Lugoj in the Bánát region of Romania on February 19, 1926. After moving to Budapest, he enrolled at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in 1946, and married the pianist Márta Kinsker in 1947. Beginning 1957, he spent a year in Paris working with the Hungarian art psychologist Marianne Stein and studying with Messiaen and Milhaud. Beginning in 1958 Kurtág coached students at the Béla Bartók Music Secondary School in Budapest and worked with soloists of the National Philhamonia. In 1967 he began teaching piano at the Liszt Academy, and then served as professor of chamber music until his retirement in 1986, though he continued to teach at there until 1993. As his work become more widely celebrated and travel outside Hungary became easier in the 1990s, he spent more time outside Hungary, as composer in residence with the Berlin Philharmonic (1993-94), Vienna Konzerthaus (1995), in the Netherlands (1996-98), in Berlin again (1998-99), and in Paris (1999-2001) at the invitation of the Ensemble Intercontemporain, Cité de la Musique and the Festival d’Automne. Kurtág won the prestigious 2006 Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition for his '...concertante...'. His opera Fin de Partie, based on Samuel Beckett's play, was premiered by La Scala Milan in 2018 to great acclaim.

2020 Eugene Meyer Lecture in British History & Literature: George Orwell and Homelessness
Nick Crowson; Chair in Contemporary British History at the University of Birmingham
Tuesday, February 18, 2020
4:45–6 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 AuditoriumUsing Orwell's Down and Out to understand and write histories of homelessness then and now
What does George Orwell's classic account of homeless living in London during the interwar years offer the historian? Where should we locate this semi-fictionalised account in the tradition of the incognito social investigator? Professor Crowson's lecture will address these questions and ask how Orwell helps us understand the physical manifestations of homelessness in modern Britain. In doing so, he shows how historians can play a crucial role in facilitating better, historically-informed public discourse around homelessness.
Nick Crowson holds the Chair in Contemporary British History at the University of Birmingham. The author and editor of many books, including Facing Fascism: The Conservative Party and the European Dictators 1935–40; Britain and Europe: A Political History since 1918; and A Historical Guide to NGOs in Britain: Charities, Civil Society and the Voluntary Sector since 1945, he is writing a new history of homelessness in modern Britain seeking to integrate the lived experience with the policy responses. His research is widely used by a range of policy and cultural organisations, including Crisis, Shelter, the Museum of Homelessness and the Cardboard Citizens Theatre Company.

Speaker Series: Margo Machida: Art, Asian America, and the Transcultural Imaginary
Tuesday, February 25, 2020
5–7 pm
CCS Bard, Classroom 102As a Hawai’i-born Americanist scholar, curator, and critic, Machida’s research draws on extended interviews with Asian American, Asian émigré, and artists of mixed heritages whose work engages with transcultural themes of circulation, contact, and cross-connections in today’s world. This talk highlights artworks spanning the 1990s to the early 2000s, which point to how the US Asian diaspora acts as a platform to shape artists’ sustaining identifications and imaginative attachments with the entangled histories that conjoin the Americas and the Pacific region to Asia, Europe, and Africa. Such work, by foregrounding subjectivities embedded in legacies of migration, trade, labor flows, colonialism, and war, is part of an expressive continuum that places Asian American artists in dynamic conversation with their counterparts in the global Asian diasporas.
Margo Machida, Ph.D. is Professor Emerita of Art History and Asian American Studies at the University of Connecticut. Born and raised in Hawai‘i, she is a scholar, independent curator, and cultural critic specializing in Asian American art and visual culture. She has lectured widely on her research both nationally and internationally, and served as a curatorial advisor for the inaugural 2017 Honolulu Biennial. Professor Machida is currently a scholarly advisor and contributing essayist for the upcoming 2021 retrospective exhibition, Carlos Villa: Roots, Rituals and Actions (co-presented by the Asian Art Museum and San Francisco Art Institute, in collaboration with Newark Museum of Art). Her book, Unsettled Visions: Contemporary Asian American Artists and the Social Imaginary (Duke University Press, 2009) received the Cultural Studies Book Award from the Association for Asian American Studies. She is an Associate Editor of the journal, Asian Diasporic Visual Cultures and the Americas (Brill). Publications include: “Pacific Itineraries: Islands and Oceanic Imaginaries in Contemporary Asian American Art” (ADVA Journal, 2017); “Trans-Pacific Sitings: The Roving Imagery of Lynne Yamamoto” (Third Text, 2014); “Devouring Hawai‘i: Food, Consumption, and Contemporary Art” in Eating Asian America: A Food Studies Reader (NYU Press, 2013); and “Convergent Conversations – The Nexus of Asian American Art” in A Companion to Asian Art and Architecture (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011).

It Hurts Because It Matters: Relationship Stress and Depression in Emerging Adults
Erin Sheets, Colby College
Thursday, February 27, 2020
4:45–6 pm
Preston TheaterStressful life events are known to precede depression, but we may be more reactive to some forms of stress than others. This talk will explore evidence that interpersonal stress—problems with peers, romantic partners, or family—uniquely affects the course of depression. Our longitudinal and experience sampling data suggest that improving social functioning and shifting one’s mindset about interpersonal problems are important aims when treating current depression or preventing future depression in young adults.

Are Birds Dinosaurs?
Justin E. H. Smith, Professor of Philosophy, University of Paris
Friday, February 28, 2020
4:45–6:15 pm
Olin, Room 102In a classic paper, the philosopher of biology John Dupré argued that the reclassification of whales in the 19th century, from fishes to mammals, was not so much a correction of a scientific error as it was a reshuffling of largely arbitrary folk categories, since until the 19th century there was nothing in nature preventing the class of fish from including warm-blooded, milk-producing, live-birth-giving animals. More recently we have been encouraged, or perhaps pressured, to correct our previous “error” of believing that the dinosaurs went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous. They are still among us, we are told, chirping and flying about. Yet whatever phylogenetic discoveries reveal, so far the folk category of “dinosaur” has resisted most efforts to stretch it far enough to include, e.g., sparrows. That is not what a dinosaur looks like, the person in the street will reliably insist. Unlike the case of whales and fish, no one has ever seen an actual dinosaur, and a priori we might expect the folk category that contains them to be more, not less, flexible than the one from which whales were lately expelled. What can this example show us about the relationship between scientific taxonomy and the semantics of natural-kind terms? Is there any sense at all in saying that birds are really dinosaurs in spite of the way we talk about them? In this talk—in which I range broadly to explore a number of basic conceptual problems of the philosophy of taxonomy—I willl argue that there is not.
