SUMMARY:Reading: Tracy K. Smith\, Ordinary Light: A Memoir
DESCRIPTION:Tracy K. Smith — Ordinary Light: A Memoir\nWednesday\, April 1st\, 2015 at 6PM — Labyrinth Books Princeton\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Pulitzer-Prize winning poet Tracy K. Smith\, hailed for her “extraordinary range and ambition” (NYT\,) has published a quietly potent memoir that explores coming-of-age and the meaning of home against a complex backdrop of race\, faith\, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and daughter. We invite you to a reading.The youngest of five children\, Tracy Smith was raised with limitless affection and a firm belief in God by a stay-at-home mother and an engineer father. But just as Tracy is about to leave home for college\, her mother is diagnosed with cancer\, a condition she accepts as part of God’s plan. Ordinary Light is the story of a young woman struggling to fashion her own understanding of belief\, loss\, history\, and what it means to be black in America.In lucid\, clear prose\, Smith interrogates her childhood in suburban California\, her first experience of independence at Harvard\, and her Alabama-born parents’ recollections of their own youth in the Civil Rights era. These dizzying juxtapositions—of her family’s past\, her own comfortable present\, and the promise of her future—will in due course compel Tracy Smith to act on her passion for “ecstatic possibility\,” and her desire to become a writer. \nShot through with exquisite lyricism\, wry humor\, and an acute awareness of the beauty of everyday life\, Ordinary Light is a kaleidoscope of self and family\, one that skillfully combines a child’s and teenager’s perceptions with adult retrospection. Here is a universal story of being and becoming\, a classic portrait of the ways we find and lose ourselves amid the places we call home. \n  \nTracy K. Smith is the author of  the acclaimed poetry collections The Body’s Questions\,Duende\, and Life on Mars\, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. She has received a Whiting Writers’ Award and a Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers’ Award\, and currently teaches at Princeton University.

SUMMARY:Decreations: A Graduate Symposium on the Work of Anne Carson
DESCRIPTION:A Graduate Symposium on the Work of Anne Carson\nApril 3–4\, 2015\nPrinceton University \nSchedule and Locations \nKeynote Address by Simon Critchley (Hans Jonas Professor of Philosophy\, New School)\nVisual Presentation by Bianca Stone (Illustrator of Antigonick)\nDance Presentation by Silas Riener and Rashaun Mitchell \nThe range of Anne Carson’s work includes original poems\, rigorous scholarly essays\, novels in verse\, operas\, and translations; it resists persistent boundaries between the creative and the critical\, the ancient and the contemporary\, the visual and the verbal\, and the literary and the academic\, in an approach to cultural production that has attracted a diverse and international readership. This conference will invite participants to consider the work of Anne Carson as a locus for interdisciplinary engagement and intellectual collaboration\, seeking to bring together scholars from fields including Comparative Literature\, Classics\, English\, Canadian Studies\, Linguistics\, Film Studies\, the Visual Arts and Art History to discuss the many facets of literary production to which Carson’s corpus gives form and the respect she has garnered through her facility in speaking to various fields of inquiry on their own terms. Bringing together faculty and students\, we particularly intend to provide a forum for discussions of aspects of Carson’s literary production that might be elided by scholarship relying on a single methodology or literary tradition. \nThe title of Carson’s 2005 collection Decreation is a coinage of Simone Weil\, for whom the word represented a “program for getting the self out of the way”; the “paradox” that “to tell is a function of self” is the concern of that book’s title essay\, which places its author in a genealogy of women writers as diverse as Sappho and Marguerite Porete. Carson’s collages of imagistic\, textual and theatric material are juxtaposed against a stark and dissatisfied lyrical subject; her frank identifications with the writers she reveres complement a confessional intimacy that speaks to everyday sublimity. If criticism and analysis are usually understood to break down the works they confront\, “Decreations” addresses the readerly possibilities of texts that claim already to generate their own dissolution. In line with such questioning\, this symposium will consider Carson’s deferrals to the texts she cites and translates alongside the coherence of her distinct perspective and style. We aim to interrogate and play on traditional ideas of reception and translation\, influence and inheritance\, allusion and displacement\, in the context of a gathering of scholars as eclectic and complex as the work they seek to understand. \nThe following list of possible thematic interests is not all-inclusive: \n\nClassical philology in contemporary poetics\nThe politics and philosophy of translation\nHybridity\, multimedia\, visuality\nQueer erotics and women’s writing\n“Genre” in scholarly writing\nThe imagistic and the textual\nPsychoanalysis and subjectivity\nFragments – of texts and in post-modernity\nAncient identity\, modern identity\nTranslation vs. adaptation\nInterpolation\nReception and intellectual history\nThe role of the creative philologist in the academy\nThe poetic appropriation of academic genres (textual commentary\, scholarly essay)\n\nEvent sponsored by the Department of Classics\, the Department of Comparative Literature\, Postclassicisms\, Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies\, with the support of the Stanley J. Seeger Hellenic Fund\, the Lewis Center for the Arts\, IHUM\, the Fund for Canadian Studies\, the Department of English\, Program in Translation Studies\, and the Graduate School.
