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.

SUMMARY:Exploring/Recording Stories of Survival: Gatumba Survivors Project
DESCRIPTION:Exploring/Recording Stories of Survival: Gatumba Survivors Project\nWith Professor Chris Davey and guest\, Espoir Nindeba\n\nExplore Professor Davey’s Open Digital Project at https://commons.clarku.edu/gatumba/\n\nOn Aug. 13\, 2004\, 166 people were massacred\, and around a hundred were injured\, at a UN refugee camp near Gatumba\, Burundi. Most of the victims were members of the Banyamulenge community — a Congolese Tutsi ethnic group — fleeing outbreaks of violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Banyamulenge refugees were deliberately targeted by the Forces Nationales de Libération (FNL)\, a Hutu supremacist rebel group fighting in Burundi’s civil war. During the massacre\, hundreds of FNL fighters beat drums and sang Christian hymns as they shot\, stabbed\, and burned refugees. The next day\, an FNL spokesman claimed responsibility for the attack.\n\nDespite investigations by the UN and Human Rights Watch confirming the involvement of the FNL and its then-leader Agathon Rwasa\, the justice system stalled for political reasons. Most survivors of Gatumba have resettled from Burundi as refugees in the US\, UK\, Rwanda\, Kenya\, and other countries.\n\nThe purpose of this archive is to preserve witnesses to this massacre and evidence its lifelong impact on survivors\, as well as document the lives of this refugee group.\n\nThis will be a hybrid event. https://clarku.zoom.us/j/98578069306\n\nProfessor Chris Davey is Charles E. Scheidt Visiting Assistant Professor of Genocide Studies and Genocide Prevention\, Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies.\n\nThe Goddard Library Open Project Series is an event series dedicated to highlighting open collections made available through Clark University’s Institutional Repository\, Digital Commons.
