SUMMARY:Public Lecture by Professor Eleanor Kaufman: "Ethics and Otherness: Derrida\, Levinas\, and the Gaze of the Other in the Jewish American Wild West"
DESCRIPTION:The AMERICAN INSTITUTE FOR LEVINASSIAN STUDIES* presents its third 2016-2017 lecture on “The Return of Ethics” \nEthics and Otherness: Derrida\, Levinas\, and the Gaze of the Other in the Jewish American Wild West  by Professor Eleanor Kaufman (Comparative Literature\, English\, and French and Francophone Studies\, UCLA) \nPresented in English \nDiscussion moderated by Professor Lia Brozgal (UCLA) \nIt is not surprising that in the memoirs and fictionalized accounts of early Jewish settlement in the rural American West\, there is a marked concern with Christian neighbors’ perception and reception of the Jewish community.  In particular\, this real and imagined gaze of the Christian other punctuates Western Jewish homesteader\, cowboy\, and small town settler narratives\, alongside a predominant focus on issues related to Jewish family relations and Jewish observance.  Emmanuel Levinas’s notion of ethical relation as determined by the encounter with the other serves as a remarkably apt model for understanding Jewish systems of belonging and assimilation in the American West of the late nineteenth century—almost.  This presentation focuses on a seemingly exceptional case\, that of Wyatt Earp’s Jewish wife Sarah Josephine Marcus (“Josie”) Earp and the set of larger than life memoirs and biographies devoted to her.  The example of Josie Earp in turn helps illustrate a major difference between the Levinassian model of ethics and that of Jacques Derrida. \nPlease RSVP by April 1 at ADMIN@AFDELA.ORG \nThis event was made possible by the generous support of the UCLA Department of French and Francophone Studies. The event is also co-sponsored by the Alliance Française de Los Angeles and the Cultural Services of the French Consulate in Los Angeles. \n* The goal of the recently created American Institute for Levinassian Studies (AILS) is to extend the activities of the French Institut d’Études Lévinassiennes (http://www.levinas.fr) to this side of the Atlantic. The AILS proposes to offer to an American public an annual series of seminars\, a forum of discussion\, local events\, and electronic access to a database of philosophical documentation. Serving as broad impulse for our endeavor\, Emmanuel Levinas (1906-1995) was a French philosopher and religious thinker known for his work related to phenomenology\, ontology\, ethics\, and Jewish philosophy. Ethics as responsibility for the “Other” is the main tenant of his philosophy.

SUMMARY:"Photography in the Middle East": A Book Celebration in Honor of Ali Behdad
DESCRIPTION:In the decades after its invention in 1839\, photography was inextricably linked to the Middle East. Introduced as a crucial tool for Egyptologists and Orientalists who needed to document their archaeological findings\, the photograph was easier and faster to produce in intense Middle Eastern light—making the region one of the original sites for the practice of photography. \nThis panel addresses how the Middle East played a crucial role in the development of photography both as a new technology and as a commercialized mass medium. Stephen Sheehi (the author of Arab Imago) and Joseph Boone (the author of The Homoerotics of Orientalism) will discuss the Middle East’s influences on photography’s evolution in the context of Ali Behdad’s newly published Camera Orientalis.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture by Dr. Omnia El Shakry: "The Arabic Freud: Psychoanalysis & Islam in Modern Egypt"
DESCRIPTION:What might it mean to think through psychoanalysis and Islam together\, not as a problem\, but as a creative encounter of ethical engagement? Traversing literatures minor and major\, Omnia El Shakry shows how postwar thinkers in Egypt translated and blended psychoanalytic theories with classical Islamic concepts. El Shakry explores how Freudian ideas of the unconscious were crucial to the formation of modern discourses of subjectivity in fields as diverse as psychology\, Islamic philosophy\, and the law. Rather than view Islamic discourses as hermetically sealed\, or traffic in dichotomous juxtapositions between East and West\, this talk focuses on the points of intersection and articulation between Islamic discourses and modern social scientific thought\, and between religious and secular ethics. The hybridization of psychoanalytic thought with Arab and Islamic discursive formations thus illustrates that the Arabic Freud\, like psychoanalysis itself\, was elaborated across the space of human difference. \nOmnia El Shakry is Associate Professor of History at the University of California\, Davis\, specializing in the cultural and intellectual history of the modern Middle East. She is the author of The Great Social Laboratory: Subjects of Knowledge in Colonial and Postcolonial Egypt\, and editor of the multi-volume Gender and Sexuality in Islam. \nThis lecture is co-sponsored by the Center for European and Russian Studies\, Department of Comparative Literature\, and Department of Near Eastern Languages & Cultures.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture: "Thomas Pynchon and Gender:  A View From the Typescript of V."
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Departments of Comparative Literature and English invite you to attend a public lecture by Visiting Professor and 2016 Van Dyck Chair Luc Herman (University of Antwerp). \nThe typescript of V. at the Harry Ransom Center in Austin is an early version of Thomas Pynchon’s first novel\, which would be published in 1963. When rewriting his novel in the Spring of 1962\, Pynchon decided to cut an entire family sitcom episode\, in which men of two generations try to activate their self-proclaimed freedom to go where they want. An early illustration of Pynchon’s often assailed gender politics\, the sitcom also reinforces the controversial notion of female agency central to V.

SUMMARY:Public Lecture by Joseph Cohen: The ‘Unthinkable’ in Heidegger’s History of Being: Judaism and the Black Notebooks
DESCRIPTION:Last year Professor Cohen hosted a major international conference at the National Library in Paris on Martin Heidegger’s Black Notebooks\, which appeared on its author’s instructions 50 years after his death.  Given its contents\, this publication warrants a reconsideration of the role Judaism played in Heidegger’s philosophical views.  Professor Cohen is ideally suited to address the significance of Heidegger’s posthumous writings\, and more broadly\, to explore the philosophical implications of Heidegger’s views on Judaism. \nJoseph Cohen is an authority on continental philosophy\, and one of his areas of expertise is the place of Judaism in contemporary French and German thought. Cohen’s major publications include:  Le spectre juif de Hegel (Paris\, Galilée\, 2005)\, Le sacrifice de Hegel (Paris\, Galilée\, 2007)\, Alternances de la métaphysique. Essais sur E. Levinas (Paris\, Galilée\, 2009)\, The Husserl Dictionary and (with D. Moran\, London\, Continuum\, 2012) and the edited volume Heidegger et « les juifs » (Paris\, Grasset\, 2015).

SUMMARY:Bibliomigrancy on the Global Translation Field: Contemporary French Caribbean Literature Translated into Swedish
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Comparative Literature invites you to a special lecture by Professor Yvonne Lindqvist of The Institute for Interpretation and Translation Studies (Tolk- och översättarinstitutet)\, Department of Swedish and Multilingualism\, Stockholm University. \nMore than 71% of all translated literature in Sweden today uses English as the source language. In her talk “Bibliomigrancy on the Global Translation Field: Contemporary French Caribbean Literature Translated into Swedish”\, Professor Lindqvist will address whether commercial interests alone govern literary publishing in general (and translation in particular)\, or if it is possible to discern other mechanisms or processes that determine what literature in translation reaches Swedish readers. Building on the concept of a global literary translation field and its central versus peripheral positions\, Professor Lindqvist will examine the translation relations\, i.e. the bibliomigrancy patterns between one local periphery (French Caribbean literature) and another (Swedish literature). \nFull abstract available here.

She will explore the concept and practices of national literature\, her own exit into exile\, and the implications of that condition. Ugrešić will give pride of place to translation\, and discuss her views on the opposition between transnational and national literatures.
