SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Learning to Laugh with Nuar Alsadir
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Why do humans laugh? What effect does laughter have on the body? What is its role in a social setting? What does it communicate\, and why does it matter? Poet and psychoanalyst Nuar Alsadir uses psychology\, philosophy\, history\, personal experience\, and more to answer these questions in new book Animal Joy. A whimsical\, wide-reaching meditation upon the power of laughter\, populated by figures ranging from Donald Trump to Alsadir’s classmates at clown school\, the book reveals hidden dimensions to humor\, while highlighting the challenges of defining what humor is. More than an expression of amusement\, it can be wielded as a political tool\, poetic instrument\, and therapeutic mechanism.  \nLearn More: \nFor a sample of Alsadir’s poetry\, check out her poem titled “Invertebrate.” \nFor a preview of Alsadir’s meditations on laughter and its various forms\, check out her essay “Corpsing: On Sex\, Death\, and Inappropriate Laughter” in The Paris Review. \nAbout the speaker: \nNuar Alsadir‘s most recent book\, Animal Joy: A Book of Laughter and Resuscitation was a TIME Magazine must-read of 2022 and a Publisher’s Weekly Best Book of 2022. She is also the author of two poetry collections: Fourth Person Singular\, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Forward Prize for Best Collection\, and More Shadow Than Bird. She is a fellow of the New York Institute for the Humanities and a member of the curatorial board of The Racial Imaginary Institute. She works as a psychoanalyst in private practice in New York. \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Alsadir will appear in the Reading Room)\, the Library will stream the conversation on Zoom for a live viewing experience. Both in-person and online attendees will be able to pose questions. \nThis event requires advance registration. \nAttendance at this event constitutes permission for your photograph or video to be taken at the event and used by the American Library in Paris for marketing\, promotional\, pedagogical\, or other purposes.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1661353661878{border-left-width: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;border-left-color: #9e0143 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}”] \nEvenings with an Author are free and open to the public (with a 10€ suggested donation)\nthanks to the generous support of Gregory Annenberg Weingarten of GRoW @ Annenberg.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:(Members Only) Music and Mingle with Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s Baird Dodge
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Finding one’s place in Paris can be challenging. As an expatriate institution\, we champion the forging of connections at the Library. This is why we’re delighted to announce Music and Mingle\, a Members-only event series. Those seeking to foster new friendships\, build their network\, and toast the new year in good company are invited to this special concert by Chicago Symphony Orchestra violinist Baird Dodge. Dodge will be performing a curated selection of songs from Bach to “Over the Rainbow\,” developed\, in the spirit of connection\, to challenge the boundaries between classical and popular music. Whether seeking to discover our community for the first time\, or to reunite with old friends\, join us in celebrating everyone who makes the American Library in Paris a cultural home. \nPlease note\, this event will be in-person only and reserved for Library members. \nThis event will be followed by a cocktail reception.  \nAbout Baird Dodge: \nA New York City native\, Baird Dodge joined the Chicago Symphony Orchestra as a violist in 1996 and moved to the second violin section later that same year. In 2002\, he was appointed principal second violin of the CSO by Daniel Barenboim. An avid chamber musician\, Dodge has collaborated with such artists as Isidore Cohen\, Timothy Eddy\, Hillary Hahn\, Yo-yo Ma\, Samuel Rhodes\, and Orion Weiss\, and has toured with Music from Marlboro. Baird has a special interest in contemporary music\, having performed and recorded works by his father\, Charles Dodge. During the pandemic\, when live orchestral and chamber music were shut down\, Baird explored solo repertoire and found different ways to perform outdoors in his community that felt meaningful and sustaining. \nAbout the Chicago Symphony Orchestra: \nFounded in 1891\, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the greatest orchestras in the world. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra commands a vast repertoire ranging from Baroque to contemporary. Performing in over 150 concerts each year\, the CSO’s talented musicians are the driving force behind the ensemble’s famous sound heard on best-selling recordings as well as in performances in Chicago and on tour throughout the United States and around the globe.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Important information: This event will be in person at the Library only and reserved for Library Members.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Fixing France: How to Repair a Broken Republic with Nabila Ramdani
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Liberté\, Égalité\, Fraternité: la devise de la République française. Since the French Revolution\, this motto of liberty\, equality\, and fraternity has served as a pillar for the republic. Though\, after a period of mass dissent– from the Yellow Vests protests\, to movement against the 2023 réforme de retraites\, to the mass protests following the fatal police shooting of Nahel M.– does France live up to its founding ideals?  \nNabila Ramdani\,  journalist\, academic and broadcaster\, will appear at the Library to present her new book\, Fixing France: How to Repair a Broken Republic.  \nIn Fixing France\, Ramdani develops a nuanced critique of some of France’s modern issues\, from racial and religious discrimination\, looming executive power\, terrorism and extremism\, and the rise of the far-right. Ramdani will dive into the historical dynamics that have led us to the present: what was the influence of Algeria on the founding and development of the current Fifth Republic? What issues do residents of France face in Paris intramuros\, the suburbs of Grand Paris\, and beyond in France’s countryside? And how can the French Republic be fixed? \nModerated by journalist and anchor Erin Ogunkeye.  \n  \nAbout the speakers: \nNabila Ramdani is a French author of Algerian descent who works as a journalist\, academic and broadcaster. Nabila began her award-winning journalistic career in the BBC Paris Bureau. She has since broadcast for outlets including Sky News\, Al Jazeera and CNN\, and has written extensively for The Guardian\, The Daily Mail\, The Washington Post and others. Educated at Paris VII University and the London School of Economics (LSE)\, Nabila has taught at the University of Oxford and the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. \nErin Ogunkeye grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia\, but has spent more time living in Paris than any other city. She studied French law before realizing she wanted to feel a closer connection to the rest of the world by following\, relaying and breaking down current events; perhaps not too differently from the way a lawyer connects with a jury. She is an anchor at France 24 and presents Live From Paris in the mornings.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Learn more: \nRamdani appeared on France24 to discuss social inequality in France in contrast with the country’s ideals\, as well as the shortcomings of the Fifth Republic. Watch the interview. \nRamdani published an opinion piece in inews.co.uk on Paris’s recent bedbug outbreak as a symbol of the French Republic.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Paris of the Present with Will Mountain Cox
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Tired of romanticized visions of the Paris of the past\, author Will Mountain Cox sets out in Roundabout to write Paris present: from the Notre Dame fire\, to the November 2015 attacks\, to concerns of gentrification\, climate\, and hyper-tourism. Cox\, founder of the Belleville Park Pages\, first proposed this present-tense vision in With Paris in Mind\, a collection of interviews which dismisses the mythology of Paris as a city of artists and features the voices of the new creative generation. This generation is depicted yet again with attentiveness and insight in Roundabout— this time\, through the prism of fiction. Ever sensitive to the spirit of the age\, Cox will speak at the Library about the living Parisian cultural landscape. \nAbout the speaker: \nWill Mountain Cox is a writer from Portland\, Oregon\, living in Paris\, France. His work has appeared in Forever Magazine\, Hobart\, Vol. 1 Brooklyn\, Shabby Doll House\, and The Drunken Canal.

SUMMARY:(In-Person Registration Full) (Hybrid) Entre Nous: Art as Social Action with Peter Sellars and Yasmine Seale
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]How can a director’s choices bring fresh perspectives to centuries-old operas and plays?

The Library is delighted to welcome Peter Sellars\, one of the leading living figures of theatrical history. From setting Così fan tutte in a diner in Cape Cod and The Marriage of Figaro in a luxury apartment in Trump Tower)\, to having worked with artists such as Warhol and received praise from critics such as Edward Said\, Sellars’ groundbreaking stagings of classical and contemporary operas and plays have made him one of the most compelling director of our times.

Online registration is still available. \nLearn more:  \nAmong Sellars’s most famous productions was his late-1980s staging of Mozart’s Don Giovanni\, which Sellars set in New York City’s East Harlem. Watch a recording of the production.  \nLast year\, Sellars directed a production of Richard Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde at the Opéra Bastille. See him describe his vision for that production. \nYasmine Seale appeared at the Library last year to speak with author Kate Briggs. Rewatch their discussion.  \nAbout the speakers: \nPeter Sellars is an internationally acclaimed director. He is best known for his innovative interpretations of operatic masterpieces. Since 1988\, Sellars has been a professor at UCLA’s Department of World Arts and Cultures / Dance. His production of Vincenzo Bellini’s Beatrice di Tenda will be performed Opéra Bastille in February and March of 2024.

Norton)\, described by the New Yorker as “an electric new translation”.
