SUMMARY:5000 Years of African Literature
DESCRIPTION:2022-2023 CREMS Faber Lecture \nThis talk’s central claim is that Africa has a 5000-year literary history. Why does such a possibility remain almost entirely unrecognized? How well does the extant evidence support such a claim? And what difference might the answers to these questions make? The presentation takes up each of these matters in turn. It approaches the first by looking at the organization of academic programs—what they enable and obscure. The second follows the successive fortunes of various African writing systems\, from ancient Egyptian to the present\, including indigenous and imported literary languages. Transmission is traced via direct connections among these languages; through the reconstruction of oral linkages\, where possible\, and utilizing extra-African relays\, with the African literary diaspora constituting a brief if recurrent\, motif. Finally\, the conclusion reviews several issues raised by the preceding survey—the rationale for disciplinary divisions\, the ethical and political resonances (if any)\, the (un)importance of contributions to knowledge\, the relationship between broad historical summary and close reading of texts\, the tension between continuity and rupture in literary traditions\, the importance of geography in literary networks\, and\, not least\, the relative hierarchy of African literary languages. \nRespondent: Wendy Laura Belcher\, Professor of Comparative Literature and African American Studies\, Princeton University \nChair: Ousseina Alidou\, Professor of African\, Middle Eastern and South Asian Languages and Literatures\, Rutgers University \nWalter Cohen is a Professor of English at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, after having taught from 1980 to 2014 in Comparative Literature at Cornell University\, where he received a distinguished teaching award and held various college and university administrative positions for two decades (including Dean of the Graduate School and Vice Provost of the University). He is the author of Drama of a Nation: Public Theater in Renaissance England and Spain (Cornell UP\, 1985)\,  A History of European Literature: The West and the World from Antiquity to the Present (Oxford UP\, 2017)\, and of numerous articles on Renaissance literature\, literary criticism\, the history of the novel\, and world literature. He is also one of the editors of The Norton Shakespeare (3rd ed.\, 2015). His current research interests include the literature on ecological catastrophe\, the history of African literature\, the languages of Jewish literature\, the social agency of written language\, and the role of social class in literary study. \nReception to follow the presentation\nPlease RSVP to blleavey@princeton.edu if you plan to attend\n

SUMMARY:How did they learn? How did they teach?: Exploring Knowledge Transmission from Late Antiquity to the Early Modern
DESCRIPTION:Much of our modern knowledge is the result of centuries of experiments driven by human desire to record and pass down successes\, failures and lessons learned. The timespan from the periods often called “Late Antique” to that called “Early Modern” offers enormous scope to explore the historical record of knowledge transmission across diverse social contexts. \nThis conference will explore the many networks and forms of knowledge transmission active across the Late Antique and Early Modern periods. We will work within a wide span of geographical and chronological parameters as well as across disciplines. \nPlease visit the website for the schedule and registration. \n

SUMMARY:The Royal Mint at Potosí: Inside a Global Seventeenth-Century Cash Machine
DESCRIPTION:Hybrid Event:\nIn Person: 219 Aaron Burr Hall-Register HERE \nZOOM: Register HERE \nThis presentation examines the world’s most productive mint at its height in the 1640s\, coincidentally a time of global crisis and severe\, nearly universal money troubles. How did the Potosí mint\, located high in the Andes mountains of what is today Bolivia\, influence world money flows by 1640? How did this geographically isolated colonial mint function? When mass debasement was discovered in the early 1640s\, how was it linked to credit structures in Potosí’s and greater Peru’s mining and commercial sectors\, and what does all this tell us about early modern imperial economies and the significance of hard silver cash just as paper credit grew more sophisticated and wartime borrowing ballooned? \nRespondent: Francesca Trivellato\, Andrew W. Mellon Professor\, Institute for Advanced Study\nChair: Yaacob Dweck\, Department of History and the Program in Judaic Studies \nKris Lane holds the France V. Scholes Chair in Colonial Latin American History at Tulane University in New Orleans\, USA. He is author of Pandemic in Potosí: Fear\, Loathing\, and Public Piety in a Colonial Mining Metropolis (2021)\, Potosí: The Silver City that Changed the World (2019)\, Pillaging the Empire: Piracy in the Americas\, 1500-1750 (2015)\, Colour of Paradise: The Emerald in the Age of Gunpowder Empires (2010)\, and Quito 1599: City & Colony in Transition (2002). Lane is currently writing a history of the great Potosí mint fraud of the 1640s. A documentary history of the Basque-Vicuña conflict of the 1620s is in press. \nReception to follow the presentation

SUMMARY:Environment and Observation in the Dutch Golden Age
DESCRIPTION:This workshop features talks by: \nAnne Goldgar\,  “Observation in Early Dutch Arctic Exploration” \nThis paper uses several cases of Dutch arctic exploration in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries to consider the role of observation both in commercial and navigational spheres\, but also in the management of emotion by explorers. \nGoldgar has been Garrett and Anne Van Hunnick Professor of European History at USC since June 2020. Before that\, she had taught at King’s College London\, where she was Professor of Early Modern History\, since 1993. She is the author of various works on the intersection of scholarship\, material culture\, history of science\, and art history\, including her most recent monograph\, Tulipmania: Money\, Honor\, and Knowledge in the Dutch Golden Age (Chicago). Her paper is part of an ongoing project on Dutch identity and the memory of the Nova Zembla expedition of 1596-7. \nEmmanuel Kreike\,  “Tinsel Republic? Climate and War in the Dutch Golden Age” \nIn a 17th century\, mired by crises\, the Dutch Republic celebrated its Golden Age. Such prominent historians\, Jan De Vries and Geoffrey Parker have emphasized that The Dutch Republic was unique in bucking the European and global trend.  Dagomar De Groot argued in his 2018 The Frigid Golden Age that Dutch ingenuity made its society and economy highly resilient to the storms and icy winters brought about by the Little Ice Age\, allowing it to not only win its independence from the mighty Habsburg Empire and defeat its English rival\, but to dominate commerce and exploration across the Seven Seas. Yet throughout much of the era\, the Dutch Republic was engaged in war and the countryside of the heartland of the Republic\, the Province of Holland continued to suffer from long-term land losses and agricultural involution caused by the late 16th century inundations and scorched earth tactics that marked the Dutch Revolt. To what extent was the Gold of the Dutch Golden Age perhaps tinsel thin and Dutch 17th century exceptionalism a myth? \nKreike teaches African\, Global Environmental and Digital/Spatial History at Princeton University. His current research focuses on the War-Environment-Society nexus and his latest book Scorched Earth: Environmental Warfare as a Crime against Humanity and Nature (Princeton University Press 2021) is the first volume in the Environcide Trilogy. Scorched Earth highlights environmental warfare in conventional conflict from the early 16th to the early 20th centuries. \nPlease register to receive the Zoom link here

SUMMARY:Why did Pierre Bayle believe in Virtuous Atheists? A Critique of Pure Reason "avant la lettre"
DESCRIPTION:“Pierre Bayle’s claims about the possibility of a society of virtuous atheists are one of the most famous ideas produced in Europe in the decades around 1700. More generally\, Bayle’s intentions have been the subject of profound historiographical debate\, even generating the idea of an insoluble ‘Bayle Enigma’. This talk will give a completely new account of Bayle’s thought\, based on a reading and contextualisation of everything he ever wrote. His ideas were not the product of a clandestine irreligion; nor can they be reduced to any kind of Calvinist ‘fideism’. Rather\, they are best seen as just one product of a wider\, long-term shift in European attitudes towards the nature of knowledge and the capabilities of the human mind. That shift was itself the result of a transformation in conceptions of the capacities of a perfectly rational human which can be traced back to the sixteenth century\, and which stemmed from shifts in theological and philosophical method\, philological scholarship\, and new knowledge of non-European societies (especially Asian). Far from ushering in an Age of Reason\, the period saw the development of a distinctively early modern Critique of Pure Reason.” \nDmitri Levitin is a Research Fellow at All Souls College\, Oxford. He works on the history of knowledge between 1500 and 1850. In 2016\, he was awarded inaugural Leszek Kołakowski Prize in intellectual history. His next book\, The Kingdom of Darkness: Bayle\, Newton\, and the Emancipation of the European Mind from Philosophy will be published by Cambridge University Press later this year. \nThe talk will be chaired by Rhodri Lewis\, Department of English. \nPlease register here for the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Creatures of the Imagination: Visualizing Monsters in the Early Modern Sciences
DESCRIPTION:A workshop featuring talks by: \nSurekha Davies: “Life on the Edge: Imaginative Prototyping and Sea Monsters in Early Modern Europe” \nFor early modern European naturalists\, the ocean depths were the edges of the world. Making knowledge about deep sea life required distinctive approaches to identifying\, collecting\, and interpreting evidence from places that were almost unreachable via bodies\, senses\, or instruments. Davies’s paper will show how making knowledge about oceanic animals required the sustained\, deliberate imagination of category-breakers: monsters. Visual images of monstrous marine life were diagrams that enabled viewers to see in ways that were impossible in real life. \nDavies is a historian of science\, art and ideas and a postdoctoral fellow at Utrecht University. She is the author of Renaissance Ethnography and the Invention of the Human: New Worlds\, Maps and Monsters (Cambridge UP\, 2016). Her research intervenes in an ongoing re-orientation of early modern studies and the histories of science and visual culture towards a greater focus on global interconnections\, and is distinguished by an interdisciplinary approach to unpacking broad concepts. She is currently working on a cultural history of monsters from antiquity to the present\, and on early modern Netherlandish visual and material culture. \nJennifer M. Rampling: “Deciphering the Dragon: Monsters and Image-Making in English Alchemy” \nEuropean alchemy is renowned for its obscure\, allegorical imagery\, populated by green lions\, phoenixes\, and serpents devouring their own tails. What were these images supposed to signify\, and did they have any relation to identifiable alchemical practices? In this talk\, I will focus on depictions of two important monsters—the dragon and the basilisk—in the English alchemical tradition. These bizarre figures expressed what more naturalistic drawings of chemical substances could not: the hidden properties and structures of matter. But the act of copying could also alter the content and meaning of figures\, reflecting new attitudes towards both alchemy and image-making. \nRampling is associate professor of history at Princeton\, where she teaches in the Program in History of Science. A historian of medieval and early modern science\, she recently published The Experimental Fire: Inventing English Alchemy\, 1300–1700 (Chicago\, 2020). She is the curator of a new exhibition on alchemical illustration at the Princeton University Library\, to open in Spring 2022. \nPlease register for the Zoom link here

SUMMARY:Martin Luther’s Pamphlet Wars: Owning Language\, Dispossessing Speech
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I juxtapose two rhetorical strategies that emanate from Martin Luther’s pamphlet-wars: on the one hand\, Luther’s abundant and uncommon use of possessives in “Open Letter on Translating” (“my language\,” “my testament”\, “my bible\,” “my translation”)\, i.e. formulations\, which are in obvious tension with the Paulinian concept of grace; and\, on the other hand\, Luther’s repeated attempts to disown his own speech in some of his most hateful pamphlets (e.g. “Against the Peasants\,” “Against Hans Worst\,” “Of the Jews and Their Lies”) by way of the rhetorical figure of praeteritio. How do the fantasy of owning language and the desire to dispossess one’s own speech relate to one another?

SUMMARY:Beyond the canon: Anne Conway on sense perception
DESCRIPTION:There will be two aspects to my paper. First I shall discuss some of the respects in which Anne Conway is representative of the issues that arise in relation to the study of women philosophers. I shall argue that to get a fuller sense of her philosophy\, and to open up dimensions of her philosophy which have not\, typically\, been discussed\, we need to take seriously her engagement with non-canonical strands of thought. In the second part of the paper I shall illustrate this from what we can piece together about her views on sense-perception.

SUMMARY:Knotty testimonies: Reckoning with Andean cord-keeper accounts from the mid-sixteenth century
DESCRIPTION:In the Spanish colonies\, double-entry bookkeeping (DEB) coexisted with\, incorporated and transformed indigenous techniques for administering population and resources\, as Gary Urton has demonstrated in his various studies on the khipu\, including but not limited to historical accounts\, but also inventories. Transcriptions and translation of sixteenth-century khipukamayuq testimony suggest that even as these Andean forms of accounting do perform an abstraction of the materials being counted\, both their tangibility and their encoding of social relations insist on an economics of reciprocity that do not readily translate into the economic rationalism of early modern capitalism and point\, instead\, to alternate forms of relating labor\, the state\, and modes of exchange. Perhaps they indicate a place outside colonial capitalism and pastoral power\, even as colonial authorities sought to harness khipu technology for its own settling of accounts. \n  \nNicole. D. Legnani earned her doctoral degree in Hispanic Studies from Harvard University (2014) and is Assistant Professor of Colonial Latin American Studies at Princeton University. She is the author of Titu Cusi: A 16th-century Inca account of the Conquest (2006). Her book manuscript\, Trading Fictions: Enterprise\, Love and the Law in Iberian Conquests of the Long Sixteenth Century is under contract with the University of Notre Dame’s Oceanic Iberia Series. Her work has appeared in Bulletin of Hispanic Studies and Romance Notes.

SUMMARY:Fretwork Viol Consort
DESCRIPTION:Event time and location TBD \nFew other ensembles can match the range of Fretwork’s repertory\, spanning as it does the first printed music of 1501 in Venice\, to music commissioned by the group this year. Their recordings of arrangements of J. S. Bach have won particular praise\, but they have recently issued a disc containing music by Grieg\, Debussy\, Shostakovitch\, Warlock & Britten. This extraordinary breadth of music has taken them all over the world in the 25 years since their debut\, and their recordings of the classic English viol repertory – Purcell\, Gibbons\, Lawes & Byrd – have become the benchmark by which others are judged. Their 2009 recording of the Purcell Fantazias won the Gramophone Award for Baroque Chamber Music.

SUMMARY:Transnationality and Cultural Mobility in the Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:The Netherlands were a crossroad of literature. The question will be how such a relatively small state could play such an important role in the transnationality of European literature. This question will be discussed focusing on Neo-Latin drama from the sixteenth century\, in which the Low Countries played a very important role. What functions did these dramas have\, and how were they disseminated across Europe? In what ways can we map and analyse this dissemination? \n

DESCRIPTION:On March 29\, 1516\, the Venetian Senate ordered all Jews residing in the city to move to the Ghetto Nuovo.  This talk examines the ghetto’s placement within the urban landscape of Venice\, comparing the location of the Venetian ghetto on the city’s periphery to the disposition of the ghettos in Rome and Florence in the city center. This comparative analysis\, in Italy and elsewhere\, seeks to define the contours of ghettoization and to elucidate the principles of urban planning in the Venetian context.  Here I explore the ghetto as a peripheral site that offered a new design in urban planning. The ghetto created a laboratory of the periphery that forged a site not always out of center.  Instead\, I examine the ghetto as an architecture of confinement in which issues of centrality and marginality\, visibility and invisibility\, siting and sighting\, were constantly negotiated.
