SUMMARY:Introducing Disaster Nation: An Ecocritical Study of Puerto Rican Culture
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us as Clark University faculty member María Acosta Cruz (Language\, Literature\, and Culture) discusses her new book\, Disaster Nation: An Ecocritical Study of Puerto Rican Culture. In it\, she examines Puerto Rico’s national culture through a complex web of references to the disasters that the nation has suffered and to how the environment has been portrayed. Sometimes Puerto Rican history\, literature and arts highlight the drama of hurricanes and earthquakes. But often\, the classics read in universities and gazed at in museums depict an Edenic garden of eternal spring. Since cultural depictions of the environment are never innocent and always have socio-political motivations\, Acosta Cruz’s ecocritical project explores Puerto Rico through its unique convergences of calamities: cyclonic location and ecological instability\, as well as continuous colonialism. \nAdmission is free and open to the public\, and lunch will be provided. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 1:15pm for refreshments. \nSponsored by the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities and the Department of Language\, Literature\, and Culture at Clark University \nAbout the Speaker \nBorn and raised in Cabo Rojo\, Puerto Rico\, María Acosta Cruz received her degrees in Comparative Literature from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez and the State University of New York at Binghamton. She is a Full Professor of Spanish at Clark University. She explores language and culture issues concerning ecocriticism\, nationhood\, gender constructions\, and Caribbean political and cultural history. Among her published works is Dream Nation: Puerto Rican Culture & the Fictions of Independence and the upcoming book Disaster Nation: An Ecocritical Study of Puerto Rican Culture.

SUMMARY:The Last of the Nightingales: Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Image courtesy of Colorfool Films\n  \nDiscussion facilitated by Clark University faculty Stephen DiRado\, Matt Malsky\, and Max Ritts \nIn the late 1960s\, Bernie Krause was a prolific composer and foley artist who pioneered synthesizers and worked with industry giants such as Francis Ford Coppola\, The Doors\, and The Rolling Stones. But after one chance encounter with the sounds of the wilderness\, he chose to change his career path\, setting out to gather wild field recordings to help battle the climate crisis using acoustic information. More than half a century later\, his vast archive of captured soundscapes reflects dire habitat devastation in the world and yields urgent stories about the need for immediate change. \nThe Last of the Nightingales\, directed by Masha Karpoukhina\, invites audiences to experience the rich acoustic beauty of the living world through Bernie’s ears\, exceptionally attuned over decades. More than half of the ecosystems recorded in his immense archive are now completely silent or will never be heard in their original voice again due to the profound effects of climate change on the stability\, biodiversity\, and resilience of virtually all ecosystems on Earth. As more and more soundscapes fall silent\, Bernie reminds us that it’s not too late to begin listening. \nAdmission to the screening is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be offered. \nSponsored by the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities and the Environmental Humanities Research Collaborative at Clark University

SUMMARY:Counternarratives: Repositioning the News
DESCRIPTION:Alexandra Bell\n\n\n\nAlexandra Bell is an interdisciplinary artist who considers the ways media frameworks control how narratives involving Black communities are depicted and in turn disseminated under the aegis of journalistic “objectivity.” She accumulates news records\, mines editorial databases\, and restructures textually and visually produced narratives to control the elasticity of language and image. By physically outlining and revising editorial frameworks\, she attempts to wrestle media depictions from dominant institutions and impart the power of interpretation and definition to the collective public. \n\n\n\nShe is the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships including the International Center of Photography’s Infinity Award (2018)\, Catchlight Fellowship (2019)\, Soros Equality Fellowship (2019)\, Sarah Arison Artadia Award (2020)\, and a Radcliffe Fellowship at Harvard University (2022). \n\n\n\nShe received her B.A. in Humanities from University of Chicago and an M.S. from Columbia University’s School of Journalism.
