SUMMARY:Modernist Poetics and Queer Fruit
DESCRIPTION:A Clark Faculty Series Event\nPresented by\nElizabeth Blake\, PhD\nAssistant Professor of English\nClark University \nForbidden fruit has long been a convenient metaphor for illicit knowledge and sexuality\, a trope easily traced to the garden of Eden. Modernist poets deployed this familiar figure in new ways\, insisting on the fleshy materiality of fruit as a way of representing other forms of fleshly pleasure. In her recent book\, Edible Arrangements: Modernism’s Queer Forms\, Clark University professor Elizabeth Blake examines this phenomenon as part of a larger exploration of the ways queer consumption restructures modernist literary forms. In this talk\, Blake focuses on T. S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” and H. D.’s “Priapus” to discuss the way modernist poets disrupt lyric traditions by setting intertextuality and phenomenological referentiality in tension in order to explore queer experience. \nAdmission is free and open to the public\, and lunch will be provided. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 1:15pm for refreshments. \nThis event is sponsored by the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities and the Department of English at Clark University. \n\nAbout the Speaker \nProfessor Elizabeth Blake specializes in gender and sexuality studies\, food studies\, and global modernist literature. Her research focuses on the ways queer pleasure is represented in the literature of the early twentieth century\, and how those representations come to reshape existing literary forms. Her first book\, Edible Arrangements: Modernism’s Queer Forms\, demonstrates that scenes of eating in modernist literature are sites of queerness\, depicting and enacting a kind of pleasure that exceeds normative models. She is also interested in the relationship between modernism and popular forms of cultural production\, including cookbooks\, dinner theatre\, genre fiction\, and women’s middlebrow fiction. Her second book project\, tentatively entitled Against the Love Plot\, traces the ways mid-twentieth century women’s fiction resists both normative models of love and normative plotlines that end in marriage. \nAbout the Book \nIn Edible Arrangements: Modernism’s Queer Forms\, Elizabeth Blake explores the way modernist writing about eating delves into larger questions about bodily and literary pleasure. Drawing on insights from the field of food studies\, she makes dual interventions into queer theory and modernist studies: first\, locating an embrace of queerness within modernist depictions of the pleasure of eating\, and second\, showing how this queer consumption shapes modernist notions of literary form\, expanding and reshaping conventional genres. Drawing from a promiscuous archive that cuts across boundaries of geography and canonicity\, Blake demonstrates how modernist authors draw on this consuming queerness to restructure a range of literary forms. Each chapter constellates a set of seemingly disparate writers working in related modes—such as the satirical writings of Richard Bruce Nugent\, Virginia Woolf\, and Katherine Mansfield—in order to demonstrate how writing about eating can both unsettle the norms of bodily pleasure and those of genre itself.

SUMMARY:The Power of Mapmaking in 17th-Century New England
DESCRIPTION:A map made by the Pequot Sachem Robin Cassacinamon during negotiations with the English colonist George Denison in 1662. It delineates Pequot Territory along the Connecticut Coastline\, land also claimed by the English. Courtesy of Massachusetts State Archives.\n  \nFor the English and Algonquian inhabitants of 17th-century New England\, paper maps were a rare and powerful tool. Mapmakers created them to establish borders\, facilitate cross-cultural communication\, and record spatial information. But maps were also used to misinform\, steal land\, and erase Indigenous cultural presence. In this talk\, Nathan Braccio\, Assistant Professor of History at Clark University\, will explore how both Algonquian-speaking communities and English colonists made maps as tools in a struggle for cultural and physical control of the Northeast. In doing so\, he will investigate how maps\, including those that we interact with in the present day\, promote particular value-laden ways of understanding the world. \nThis event continues the Roots of Everything\, a lecture series sponsored by Early Modernists Unite (EMU)—a faculty collaborative bringing together scholars of medieval and early modern Europe and America—in conjunction with the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities. The series highlights various aspects of modern existence originating in the early modern world by connecting past and present knowledge. \nWith thanks to the Department of History at Clark University for its support. \nAdmission is free and open to the public. \nAlso streamed live – register now: https://bit.ly/rootsmapmaking \n\nAbout the Speaker \nNathan Braccio is a historian of early modern New England. His research focuses on Indigenous and environmental history. Prior to coming to Clark\, he taught at Lesley University and was a postdoctoral fellow at Utah State University. His current book project\, Creating New England\, Defending the Northeast: Contested Algonquian and English Spatial Worlds\, 1500–1700\, investigates the different ways Algonquian-speaking peoples and Puritan colonists marked\, described\, and mapped the landscape. Braccio’s next project explores the culture of agrarian violence in colonial America. He earned his doctorate from the University of Connecticut and his master’s and bachelor’s degrees from American University.

SUMMARY:Colloquium Speaker Series: Abbie Tingstad
DESCRIPTION:Many Arctics: What Does it Look Like and Why Is it Important for the Future of Governance in the Far North?\n\nThe Arctic is transforming in dramatic and complex ways through a myriad of pressures related to changes in climate\, social trends and demographic patterns\, economic opportunities\, geopolitics\, and technology. Although many discussions surrounding the Arctic’s future rightly focus on climate change\, the concept of “many Arctics” – or the inherent diversity within the Arctic region – reminds us that multiple factors and drivers of change shape different areas in the north in different ways. This diversity is something to be celebrated in cultural and other contexts\, but it can also create challenges for local communities and policymakers alike in navigating intense changes and resolving the many visions of the region’s future that exist among rights- and stake-holders. \nThis lecture will focus on aspects of ongoing research titled “Converging Pressures on Arctic Development” that is funded by the National Science Foundation’s Navigating the New Arctic program. It will highlight geographical and geospatial research focused on characterizing the current and potential future human footprints in the region as a basis for exploring alternative scenarios for how today’s many Arctics might look by 2050. It will also present the results of a recently published paper examining diverging scenarios of socio-economic change. Despite the fact that the Arctic has been highlighted as an important area of dialogue and cooperation for decades\, this research suggests that finding common priorities – despite being more important than ever – may become even more difficult in the future.

SUMMARY:Governing China's Global Diaspora: Consent & Coercion
DESCRIPTION:Diana Fu \nHow does global China as a power project manifest itself in governing the diaspora abroad? How and why has China’s use of coercive power abroad—in particular\, transnational repression—increased under Xi? How has the party-state wielded coercive power alongside a wider toolkit of control against diaspora populations outside of its borders? And what makes China’s playbook of control distinctive compared to other authoritarian and illiberal states? This talk will present a comparative analysis of what\, if anything\, distinguishes the Chinese party-state’s governance of its global diaspora. \nDiana Fu is associate professor of political science at the University of Toronto and a fellow at Brookings Institution\, the Wilson Center\, and the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations. Her research examines popular contention\, repression\, civil society\, and authoritarian citizenship in contemporary China.

SUMMARY:A/An: Book Launch and Poetry Reading
DESCRIPTION:A Clark Faculty Series Event\nPresented by\nMandy Gutmann-Gonzalez\, MFA\nAssociate Professor of Practice in English\nClark University \nIn this book launch\, poet Mandy Gutmann-Gonzalez reads from their chapbook A/An. Using 17th century court records of the Salem Witch Trials as a sounding board\, A/An mines the archives to uncover the power and violence residing within the language of the legal system. Through a series of poems modeled after examinations of particular witches\, Gutmann-Gonzalez acts as a medium for these voices from the past. In A/An\, poetry and archive wrestle\, shattering these legal documents that act as gravestones and spilling the voices caught therein. \nAdmission is free and open to the public\, and lunch will be provided. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 11:45 a.m. for refreshments. \nThis event is sponsored by the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities and the Department of English at Clark University. \n\nAbout the Speaker \n \nMandy Gutmann-Gonzalez is a Chilean poet and novelist working at the intersections of text\, image\, archive\, and translation. They are the author of La Pava (Ediciones Inubicalistas) and A/An (End of the Line Press). Their work has been supported by fellowships and residencies from The Bucknell Seminar for Younger Poets\, Lambda Literary\, The Center for Book Arts\, TAKT Residency in Berlin\, The Frost Place\, Studios at MASS MoCA\, the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities\, and MacDowell. They teach creative writing at Clark University. \n  \nAbout the Book \nUsing 17th-century court records of the Salem Witch Trials as a sounding board\, A/An mines the archives to uncover the power and violence residing within the language of the legal system. As state-legislated violence\, witch hunts were constitutive to the colonial order\, reinforcing what was normal and what was aberrant. Rather than regarding the witch hunts as historical curiosity or speculating to fill the gaps\, A/An considers the court examination as poetic form\, a hybrid of legal language and lyric utterance. In these poems\, English becomes foreign to itself\, having distorted through time and slipped through the sieve of law\, through the inevitable erasures of matter and the ideological erasures of the archive: the gaps marked “[illegible due to fold in paper]\,” and the silences that remain unmarked. In a poetics of the “[…]”\, A/An engages with textual gaps as lacunae. In A/An\, poetry and archive wrestle\, shattering these legal documents that act as gravestones and spilling the voices caught therein.

SUMMARY:Modernist Poetics and Queer Fruit
DESCRIPTION:A Clark Faculty Series Event\nPresented by\nElizabeth Blake\, PhD\nAssistant Professor of English\nClark University \nForbidden fruit has long been a convenient metaphor for illicit knowledge and sexuality\, a trope easily traced to the garden of Eden. Modernist poets deployed this familiar figure in new ways\, insisting on the fleshy materiality of fruit as a way of representing other forms of fleshly pleasure. In her recent book\, Edible Arrangements: Modernism’s Queer Forms\, Clark University professor Elizabeth Blake examines this phenomenon as part of a larger exploration of the ways queer consumption restructures modernist literary forms. In this talk\, Blake focuses on T. S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” and H. D.’s “Priapus” to discuss the way modernist poets disrupt lyric traditions by setting intertextuality and phenomenological referentiality in tension in order to explore queer experience. \nAdmission is free and open to the public\, and lunch will be provided. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 11:45am for refreshments. \nThis event is sponsored by the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities and the Department of English at Clark University. \n\nAbout the Speaker \nProfessor Elizabeth Blake specializes in gender and sexuality studies\, food studies\, and global modernist literature. Her research focuses on the ways queer pleasure is represented in the literature of the early twentieth century\, and how those representations come to reshape existing literary forms. Her first book\, Edible Arrangements: Modernism’s Queer Forms\, demonstrates that scenes of eating in modernist literature are sites of queerness\, depicting and enacting a kind of pleasure that exceeds normative models. She is also interested in the relationship between modernism and popular forms of cultural production\, including cookbooks\, dinner theatre\, genre fiction\, and women’s middlebrow fiction. Her second book project\, tentatively entitled Against the Love Plot\, traces the ways mid-twentieth century women’s fiction resists both normative models of love and normative plotlines that end in marriage. \nAbout the Book \nIn Edible Arrangements: Modernism’s Queer Forms\, Elizabeth Blake explores the way modernist writing about eating delves into larger questions about bodily and literary pleasure. Drawing on insights from the field of food studies\, she makes dual interventions into queer theory and modernist studies: first\, locating an embrace of queerness within modernist depictions of the pleasure of eating\, and second\, showing how this queer consumption shapes modernist notions of literary form\, expanding and reshaping conventional genres. Drawing from a promiscuous archive that cuts across boundaries of geography and canonicity\, Blake demonstrates how modernist authors draw on this consuming queerness to restructure a range of literary forms. Each chapter constellates a set of seemingly disparate writers working in related modes—such as the satirical writings of Richard Bruce Nugent\, Virginia Woolf\, and Katherine Mansfield—in order to demonstrate how writing about eating can both unsettle the norms of bodily pleasure and those of genre itself.
