SUMMARY:Good Vibes Only. A Book Presentation by Robin James | Program in Experimental Critical Theory
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 4\, 2026\n4:30pm\nHershey Hall Salon\, Hershey Hall\nIn person \n  \nAdvance Registration \nPlease note there is limited seating available\, and advance registration is required. \nRegister to attend here. \n  \nThe UCLA Livescu Initiative on Neuro\, Narrative\, and AI (NNAI) is partnering with the Program in Experimental Critical Theory\, the Department of Political Science\, and the Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies\, to host a talk by renowned independent scholar and editor Dr. Robin James about her upcoming book\, “Good Vibes Only“. \n  \nPlease contact marranz@socgen.ucla.edu for any questions.  \n  \n\n  \nA follow-up to The Sonic Episteme\, this book attends to the relationship between biopower’s quantitative and qualitative dimensions. My previous book demonstrated the ways sound\, as a frequency\, was used to translate statistical normalization\, or the measurement of the most frequent frequencies in a population\, into qualitative terms. This book argues that phenomenological orientation or horizon has a similar function in contexts such as recommender algorithms and the density models used in contemporary AI and Machine Learning where probability is modeled as something other than a normalized distribution. Phenomenology is uniquely well-suited to theorize these models that as Amoore\, Cooper\, Joque\, and others have argued\, blend hard math with subjective intuition\, as (per philosophers like Shiloh Whitney)\, phenomenology\, unlike affect theory\, rejects the strict separation between what we can very loosely call “mind” and “body” (cognitive content and felt sense). \n  \nThese mathematical models have been vernacularized as “vibes”\, which are qualitative categories that everyone from 2020s social media users to music streaming services use to define the same sorts of orientations or tendencies that vectors model mathematically. “Vibes” are a lay term for more or less the same phenomenon philosophers call phenomenological orientations or horizons. Studying late 2010s and early 2020s internet culture and American popular music from the 1970s through today\, the book shows how orientations are policed not for their normativity\, but for their lineage – or rather\, their capacity to carry forward the patriarchal racial capitalist distribution of wealth and personhood into presently-counterfactual realities. Then\, in the final chapter\, I argue that although my theory and critique of the biopolitics of algorithmic legitimation is grounded in 21st century Anglophone feminist of color phenomenology\, the fact of orientation not inherently or necessarily critical of patriarchal racial capitalist power relations—Heidegger’s whole project is oriented towards what he calls “spiritual National Socialism.”  In order to orient ourselves otherwise\, what matters is to whom we collectively choose to orient ourselves toward\, and from whom we orient ourselves away. In this respect\, Beauvoir’s existential phenomenology\, which frames (re)orientation or (re) “situation” as a matter of choosing some people and some values over (and against) others\, is a helpful theoretical model for imagining how we might do phenomenology otherwise. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Forms of Mobility: Genre\, Language and Media in African Literary Cultures
DESCRIPTION:Waiting on Forever by Franco The Creator Mbilizi. Image courtesy of Stephanie Bosch Santana. \n  \n  \nFriday\, March 6\, 2026 \n2:30pm \nKaplan Hall Room #348 (third floor) \nIn person \n  \nREGISTER TO ATTEND HERE \n  \n  \nAbout the Talk \nIn this talk\, Stephanie Bosch Santana discusses her first monograph\, Forms of Mobility: Genre\, Language\, and Media in African Literary Cultures\, published by Northwestern University Press in 2025. Based on an unstudied archive of texts in English and Chichewa/Nyanja from Malawi\, South Africa\, Zimbabwe\, and Zambia\, Forms of Mobility proposes alternate categories of fiction—migrant forms\, township tales\, weekend stories\, pan African time machines\, and digital diaries—through which to examine how writers envisaged the region’s changing literary and political terrains. By reading these forms “in motion\,” as they travel across space\, time\, genre\, language\, and between publications and platforms\, this study limns multiple centers of literary influence and relation across the southern African and Black diasporas and reveals forms of literary mobility and space-making that are occluded by current models of world literature. \n  \n  \nAbout the Author \nStephanie Bosch Santana is the co-editor of Digital Africas\, a special issue of Postcolonial Text (2020)\, and has contributed essays on digital and print literatures and reading cultures to the Routledge Handbook of African Literature (2019) and A Companion to African Literatures (Wiley-Blackwell\, 2021). From 2006-2008\, she assisted with South Africa’s BTA/Anglo Platinum short story competition and is co-founder of the Malawian Girls’ Literary Competition\, which celebrates young women’s writing in English and Chichewa. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Living on After Failure. A Talk with Irving Goh | Program in Experimental Critical Theory
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Experimental Critical Theory presents\nLiving on After Failure\nA Talk with Irving Goh\n\nTuesday\, April 14\, 2026\n5:00pm PDT\nKaplan Hall Room #348\nIn person\n  \n\n\nAdvanced Registration\nAdvanced registration is required by Friday\, April 10\, 2026. \nREGISTER TO ATTEND HERE \n  \n  \nAbout the Talk\nIn this talk\, Irving Goh will present on his latest book\, Living On After Failure (Duke UP\, 2025). He will share his thoughts on failure as failure\, that is\, failure without recuperation\, failure as all negativity. Such a thinking of failure as a thorough impasse not only resists narratives of progress and ideologies of success and their accompanying notions of grit and resilience. It also registers\, at the ontological level\, the affective structure of existence. Professor Goh will also discuss the literary texts that inform his work on failure. \n  \nReadings to be discussed are listed below and are available on the ECT site: \n\nIntroduction and Ch. 3 of Living On After Failure.\n\n  \n  \nAbout the Speaker\nIrving Goh is Professor of Comparative Literature at Emory University. He is the author of The Reject: Community\, Politics\, and Religion after the Subject (Fordham UP\, 2014)\, which won the MLA 23rd Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for French and Francophone Studies\, L’existence prépositionnelle (Galilée\, 2019)\, The Deconstruction of Sex (with Jean-Luc Nancy\, Duke UP\, 2021)\, and most recently\, Living On After Failure (Duke UP\, 2025). His next book\, Touching Literature\, or the Experience of the Limit\, will be published by Cornell UP this summer 2026. For his current book projects\, he is interested in the end(s) of work\, world literature and the question of citizenship\, and theorizing the Asian figure. \n  \n  \nAbout the Program in Experimental Critical Theory\nThe focus of the 2025-2026 Experimental Critical Theory seminar (COM LIT250)\, taught by Professor Eleanor Kaufman\, is “Structure.” \n  \n

SUMMARY:Dean’s Lecture in Humanistic Inquiry: Kate Manne on Sensitivity and Survival
DESCRIPTION:The Inaugural Dean’s Lecture in Humanistic Inquiry\n  \nThursday\, April 30\n4 p.m. – 6 p.m.\nRoyce Hall Room 314 \n  \nFree admission. Reception with light refreshments to follow lecture. Advance registration strongly recommended. \n  \nPresented by the UCLA College Division of Humanities\nThe Dean’s Lecture in Humanistic Inquiry is a biennial lecture dedicated to exploring cross-cutting topics and ideas in humanistic research and examining how humanistic inquiry connects to the most pressing questions of the day. \n  \nAbout our inaugural speaker\nKate Manne is a professor at the Sage School of Philosophy at Cornell University. She specializes in moral\, social and feminist philosophy\, and has written three books: DOWN GIRL: The Logic of Misogyny (Oxford University Press\, 2018)\, ENTITLED: How Male Privilege Hurts Women (Crown\, 2020) and UNSHRINKING: How to Face Fatphobia (Crown\, 2024). In addition to her academic work\, she regularly writes opinion pieces and essays for a wider audience\, including in outlets such as The New York Times\, The Cut\, The Washington Post\, The Atlantic\, The Nation and Time. She writes a Substack newsletter\, More to Hate\, exploring misogyny\, fatphobia and their intersection. \n  \nAbout Professor Manne’s lecture\n  \nSensitivity and Survival\nAccusations of oversensitivity are nowadays very common. Are they typically warranted? Is there in fact a scourge of snowflakes? \nIn this lecture\, Kate Manne will distinguish three things that are commonly meant by “oversensitivity”: over-identification of instances\, over-extension of the relevant concepts and over-reactions to the relevant harms or forms of injustice\, such as sexism\, misogyny and racism. Her talk will draw on two rich humanistic traditions: feminist epistemology and non-ideal theory. \nWhile acknowledging that oversensitivity of all three kinds can and does occur\, Manne will highlight and explore the comparatively under-emphasized converse dangers: the under-identification of instances\, the under-extension of concepts\, and under-reactions or the undermining of warranted reactions\, respectively. In view of this\, she concludes that what is called oversensitivity is often simply sensitivity: a normatively valuable and justified way of reacting to harms and injustices that often go under the radar in society as we know it. \nPlease visit this page to register. \n  \nEvent cosponsors\nThank you to our cosponsors: UCLA Department of Philosophy\, UCLA Department of Gender Studies\, UCLA Center for the Study of Women | Streisand Center\, and UCLA Program in Experimental Critical Theory

SUMMARY:Roundtable on Banu Bargu's Disembodiment: Corporeal Politics of Radical Refusal | Program in Experimental Critical Theory
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Experimental Critical Theory Program and UC Berkeley Labor\, Philosophy\, and Change Working Group Present:\n  \n\n  \nRoundtable on Banu Bargu’s Disembodiment: Corporeal Politics of Radical Refusal \n  \n  \nFriday\, May 22\, 2026 \n2:00 – 5:00 pm \nKaplan Hall Room #348 (third floor) \n415 Portola Plaza \nLos Angeles\, CA 90095 \nIn person only \n  \nAdvanced registration is required by Wednesday\, May 20\, 2026. \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nDisembodiment examines self-destruction\, self-injury\, and radical self-endangerment as unconventional performances of refusal that are erased\, marginalized\, and distorted by metanarratives of history as progress and agency as freedom. From the death-acts of enslaved Africans\, hunger strikes of woman suffragists\, and Gandhian fasting practices to the self-incineration of Bouazizi\, hunger and thirst strikes in the Maze and Guantánamo\, and lip-sewing practices of migrants and asylum seekers at the borders of the Global North today\, Bargu traces a bleak repertoire of contention performed by the oppressed. As a work in global critical theory whose normative compass is the suffering body\, Disembodiment brings together corporeal enactments of defiance from the Global South with major thinkers of Western modernity and prominent critical-theoretical traditions of the twentieth century. \n  \nPANELISTS \n\nDylan Fagan (Tracing Patterns Foundation)\nEleanor Kaufman (UCLA)\nNejat Kedir (UC Berkeley)\nWarren Montag (Occidental College)\nDavide Panagia (UCLA)\nJoseph Serrano (UC Berkeley)\n\n  \nRESPONSE \n\nBanu Bargu (UC Santa Cruz)\n\nBanu Bargu is professor in History of Consciousness at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, where she is also affiliated graduate faculty in Politics and the Center for the Middle East and North Africa. Bargu is a political theorist\, whose transdisciplinary research draws upon continental philosophy\, anthropology\, global history\, and Middle East studies around questions of the body\, resistance practices\, exceptional regimes\, violence\, and carcerality. She is the author of two books: Disembodiment: Corporeal Politics of Radical Refusal (Oxford UP\, 2024)\, which is the co-winner of the 2025 David Easton Award\, and Starve and Immolate: The Politics of Human Weapons (Columbia UP\, 2014)\, which was the recipient of the 2015 First Book Award\, both given by the Foundations of Political Theory section of the American Political Science Association.
