SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Ben Miller on the Bad Gays of History
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Pride month is populated by LGBTQ iconography\, celebrating the figures across history who demanded the right to live and love freely. Yet how is gay history oversimplified when we only spotlight the heroes of the movement? In Bad Gays\, authors Ben Miller and Huew Lemmey have the courage to complicate things. Recounting the lives of people who made mistakes\, harmed others\, acted in contradictory ways\, and happened to be queer\, they reveal hidden\, human nuances across queer history. At the Library\, Miller will offer a more critical perspective on the current status of LGBTQ politics\, asking who has been excluded from the political terrain\, how previous political failures have been glossed over\, and how introducing nuance into our understanding of queer identity can lead to a more just queer future.  \nAbout the speaker: \nBen Miller is a writer and historian living in Berlin. With Huw Lemmey\, he hosts Bad Gays\, a podcast about evil and complicated queers in history\, which has been downloaded nearly a million times; a book based on the show and passionately arguing for a more complex and political queer public history\, Bad Gays: A Homosexual History\, was published by Verso in 2022. Since 2018\, he has been a member of the board of the Schwules Museum\, the world’s largest independent institution devoted to archiving and preserving LGBTQI* histories and visual cultures. \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Miller 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:(Hybrid) Entre Nous: The Times of our Lives with Kate Briggs and Yasmine Seale
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In Kate Briggs’ The Long Form\, a day takes place. A mother wakes up with her daughter\, and proceeds to undertake her quotidian tasks. At the same time\, she embarks upon a reflection upon the ways the everyday is made. As the rhythms of motherhood prove fertile ground for rumination upon care\, love\, and creation\, the making of the day becomes analogous to the making of a novel\, which becomes the material of the novel itself. Briggs seizes upon a lack of action in order to build a space for the slow and spontaneous wanderings of the mind. Navigating multiple levels of storytelling\, time\, modes of writing\, and modes of thought\, she elegantly sweeps through the space of the text and the history of the written word as her character sweeps through the house.  \nAbout the speakers: \nKate Briggs is the translator of two volumes of Roland Barthes’s lecture and seminar notes at the Collège de France: The Preparation of the Novel and How to Live Together\, both published by Columbia University Press. She teaches at the Piet Zwart Institute\, Rotterdam. The Long Form\, her debut novel\, follows This Little Art\, a genre-bending essay on translation. In 2021\, Kate Briggs was awarded a Windham-Campbell Prize. \nYasmine Seale is a writer and translator based in Paris. Her essays on literature\, art and film have been published in Harper’s\, The Nation\, Paris Review\, and elsewhere. She is the author\, with Robin Moger\, of Agitated Air: Poems after Ibn Arabi (Tenement Press). Her translations from the Arabic include The Annotated Arabian Nights (W. W. Norton) and Something Evergreen Called Life\, a collection of poems by Rania Mamoun (Action Books). She is currently a fellow at the Columbia Institute for Ideas and Imagination\, where she is completing a translation of The Dove’s Necklace by Ibn Hazm\, an essay on the nature of love written in 11th-century Cordoba. \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Briggs and Seale 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][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Entre Nous series is co-organized by Columbia Global Centers | Paris\, the Institute for Ideas and Imagination\, and the American Library in Paris.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1666352729001{border-left-width: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;border-left-color: #9e0143 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}”]   [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:An Evening of Poetry with Adrienne Raphel and Megan Fernandes
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Join 2022-23 Visiting Fellow Adrienne Raphel and poet Megan Fernandes for a special evening dedicated to poetry. Celebrated as two of the most exciting poets of their generation\, both Raphel and Fernandes experiment across form\, language\, and sound to generate fragmented\, fleeting images of the current moment. From Fernandes’ transposition of poetry’s most traditional subject–love–to contemporary urban wastelands to Raphel’s adoption of the paranoid\, compulsive registers of the Internet\, the two diagnose cultural maladies of contemporary society and play with poetry as a means of reconciliation. They will discuss the uses\, abuses\, and varied appearances of poetry in a frantic world.  \nAbout the speakers: \nAdrienne Raphel is a 2022-23 American Library in Paris Visiting Fellow. She is the author of Thinking Inside the Box: Adventures with Crosswords and the Puzzling People Who Can’t Live Without Them\, named an Editor’s Choice by the New York Times Book Review; What Was It For\, winner of the Rescue Press Black Box Poetry Prize; and Our Dark Academia\, forthcoming this fall. Her writing appears in the New York Times\, the New Yorker\, the Paris Review\, and many other publications. She has been a featured speaker at events such as the National Book Festival at the Library of Congress\, and she serves as a mentor with the Periplus collective. Raphel holds a PhD from Harvard\, an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop\, and a BA from Princeton.  \nMegan Fernandes is a writer living in New York City. Fernandes has published in the New Yorker\, POETRY\, the Kenyon Review\, the American Poetry Review\, Ploughshares\, among others. Her book\, Good Boys\, was published with Tin House Books in 2020. Her forthcoming collection\, I Do Everything I’m Told\, will also be published by Tin House in summer 2023. Fernandes is an Associate Professor of English and the Writer-in-Residence at Lafayette College where she teaches courses on poetry\, environmental writing\, and critical theory. She is a former Yaddo fellow\, holds a PhD in English from the University of California\, and an MFA in poetry from Boston University. \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Raphel and Fernandes 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:(Hybrid) The International Library Part II: Translating Traditions
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A striking example of translation and its many layers—of language\, of myth\, of tradition—Samantha Schnee’s new English translation of Mexican author Carmen Boullosa’s The Book of Eve (El libro de Eva) twists\, challenges\, and ultimately revises a classic tale for a contemporary moment. As Eve\, fueled by “fiery disobedience\,” tells her own version of the Book of Genesis\, she brazenly rejects the stories that have oppressed women across millennia. No\, she was not created from Adam’s rib; no\, she was not expelled from the Garden of Eden for nibbling a forbidden apple; and no\, humanity was not deluged by a great flood. In person at the Center for Fiction (Brooklyn\, NY) and over Zoom\, join Schnee and Boullosa for a conversation about translation twice (and sometimes thrice) over. \nAbout the speakers: \nCarmen Boullosa is one of Mexico’s leading novelists\, poets\, and playwrights. She has published over a dozen novels\, two of which were designated the Best Novel Published in Mexico by the prestigious magazine Reforma—her second novel\, Before\, also won the renowned Xavier Villaurrutia Prize for Best Mexican Novel; and her novel La otra mano de Lepanto was also selected as one of the Top 100 Novels Published in Spanish in the past 25 years. Her most recent novel\, Texas: The Great Theft won the 2014 Typographical Era Translation Award\, was shortlisted for the 2015 PEN Translation Award\, and has been nominated for the 2015 International Dublin Literary Award. Boullosa has received numerous prizes and honors\, including a Guggenheim fellowship. Also a poet\, playwright\, essayist\, and cultural critic\, Boullosa is a Distinguished Lecturer at City College of New York\, and her books have been translated into Italian\, Dutch\, German\, French\, Portuguese\, Chinese\, and Russian. \nSamantha Schnee is a 2023 National Endowment of the Arts Literature Fellow in Translation\, supporting her work to render Boullosa’s Gijon Prize winning novel\, El complot de los románticos\, into English as Dante Hits the Road. Her translation of Boullosa’s Texas: The Great Theft was shortlisted for the PEN America Translation Prize. She is the founding editor of Words Without Borders. \nImportant information: The discussion will take place at the Center for Fiction in Brooklyn\, New York. The conversation will be streamed at the Library and on Zoom for a live viewing experience. Both in-person and online attendees will be able to pose questions. \nIf you’d like to attend on Zoom OR in person in Brooklyn\, please click the BLUE “ZOOM REGISTRATION BUTTON.” If you would like to attend the livestream of the event at the Library\,  please click the RED “GOING” BUTTON above.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Zoom Registration” style=”custom” custom_background=”#194573″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”left” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fcenterforfiction.org%2Fevent%2Fthe-international-library-part-ii-translating-traditions-translating-the-book-of-genesis%2F|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nAbout The International Library\nConversations across time\, place\, and language \nJoin the American Library in Paris\, the Center for the Art of Translation\, and The Center for Fiction for conversations across time\, place\, culture\, and literary tradition\, with live audiences in San Francisco\, Brooklyn\, and Paris. \nAt the intersection of theory and practice\, past and present\, as well as story and history\, The International Library celebrates the live diffusion of in-person conversations in the hope of conjuring new possibilities and connecting new audiences across land and sea for a collective\, intercultural experience. \nOver the course of these conversations\, we hope to broach the following questions about writing and translation: Who gets to translate? To be translated? How to translate? And for whom to translate? More broadly\, the series will guide readers to think critically about how stories are told\, investigating the points of view\, the timing of the translations\, and the intended or assumed audiences as well as inspiration\, philosophy\, and craft. \nAll meetings will be hybrid\, taking place in person at The Center for Fiction in Brooklyn (1:30pm ET) with audiences at the American Library in Paris (in Paris; 19h30 CEST) and the Center for the Art of Translation in San Francisco (10:30am PT) for a live streaming experience. Events will run for about an hour. \nPlease write to Alice McCrum (mccrum@americanlibraryinparis.org)\, Melanie McNair (melanie@centerforfiction.org)\, or Leslie-Ann Woofter (leslie-ann@catranslation.org) with any questions or thoughts.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:(Online) The Case for Forgetting with Lewis Hyde
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]From smartphones with unlimited storage to memorials scattered across cities to pseudo-scientific techniques for maintaining brain plasticity\, memory is of central importance to our society. Author Lewis Hyde asks: has memory been over-valued? Under what conditions might it be preferable to forget? Considering philosophy\, art\, and mythology; working through autobiography and cultural criticism\, citing writers from from Hesiod to Nietzsche to Borges\, Hyde develops a spiritual\, therapeutic\, and political case for forgetting. Ultimately\, he offers a manifesto for creativity: out of oblivion\, Hyde proposes\, comes the artistic capacity for the radically new. Join Hyde as he walks us through his own forgotten life and instructs us in forgetting our own.  \nAbout the speaker: \nLewis Hyde is a poet\, essayist and cultural critic with a particular interest in the public life of the imagination. Best known for The Gift\, a defense of the non-commercial portion of artistic practice\, Hyde recently published A Primer for Forgetting\, an exploration of the many situations in which forgetfulness is more useful than memory. A MacArthur Fellow\, Hyde taught creative writing and American literature for many years at Kenyon College. Now retired\, he lives in Cambridge\, Massachusetts with his wife\, the writer Patricia Vigderman. \nImportant information: This event is online. Attendees will receive a Zoom link upon registration. Participants will be able to pose questions through the Zoom chat function. \nThis event requires advance registration.[/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:(Hybrid) Natasha Lance Rogoff on Post-Soviet Sesame Street
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Early 1990s Russia: the wall has fallen\, the Soviet Empire has collapsed\, and a new social order is being built from the ground up. Faced with corrupt government officials\, bumbling diplomats\, traumatized citizens\, and rapidly globalizing capitalism\, a fractured nation holds onto a last hope for the salvation of their children: puppets. Join Natasha Lance Rogoff to discuss Muppets in Moscow\, the “unexpected crazy true story” of her time as lead producer on Russia’s Sesame Street. As the West dismantled the iron curtain\, Rogoff was responsible for teaching the first post-soviet generation how to communicate their feelings\, contribute to society\, and show kindness to one another. From government raids to assassinations to clashes over puppet design\, step into the world of Ulitsa Sezam.  \nAbout the speakers: \nNatasha Lance Rogoff is an award-winning television director\, producer and writer of more than 25 years. Her previous credits include executive producer of Ulitsa Sezam (Sesame Street in Russia) and producer of Plaza Sesamo (Sesame Street in Mexico.) After studying at the Leningrad State University\, she wrote about Soviet underground culture\, as well as one of the earliest exposé of Soviet government persecution of the Russian LGBTQ community in the San Francisco Chronicle. She is now an Associate in the Art\, Film and Visual Studies Department at Harvard University and lives between Cambridge\, Massachusetts\, and New York City. \nEdward Charlton-Jones studied History and Russian at Oxford and Harvard. He has written and lectured on the Russian emigration to Constantinople in 1918-1923\, as well as on aspects of Russian literature and art.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) The Women who Refused with Jennifer Tamas
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Nothing seems more counterintuitive than to turn to the society of the Ancien Régime in order to to understand female resistance. Called upon by civility treatises to demonstrate reserve\, or to feign resistance by codes of seduction\, one might conclude that the heroines of classical literature have nothing to teach us\, and certainly not the capacity to say ‘no’. Jennifer Tamas proposes otherwise. In Au NON des femmes\, she demonstrates how the women of the Grand Siècle resisted\, disobeyed\, and left traces of combat against a patriarchal society. From the Princesse de Clèves to Bérénice\, Tamas uncovers a lineage of powerful\, subversive refusals on the part of heroines\, obfuscated by centuries of patriarchal interpretations. Offering a new way of reading classical texts\, Tamas liberates the women of literature from the masculine gaze which has falsely rendered them submissive.  \nAbout the speaker: \nJennifer Tamas is Associate Professor of French at Rutgers University (New Jersey\, USA). Her teaching interests range from the Old Regime to the French Revolution and explore the boundaries between passions and politics. She received her Agrégation de Lettres in 2006 and her PhD from Stanford University in 2013. She holds a further PhD in Literature and Stylistics from Paris IV Sorbonne\, which she received in 2012.  \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Tamas 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:(Hybrid) Crafting a Project with Adrienne Raphel
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Adrienne Raphel is an expert in locating the invisible yet ubiquitous and rendering it worthy of investigation–even uncanny. From uncovering hidden histories of crossword puzzle mania to deforming Internet jargon past any point of possible meaning\, Raphel’s work reveals the extraordinary lurking beneath the surface of the ordinary. Over the month of June\, Raphel will continue to nurture this critical approach toward the everyday as a Visiting Fellow while researching Parisian urban imagination. What are the different stages of crafting a project? What phases does it go through? When\, if ever\, is it complete? Join Raphel in discussing the evolutions this project has undergone and the research process itself\, from initial ideas to drafting to the always nebulous notion of a finished product.  \nAbout the speaker: \nAdrienne Raphel is a 2022-23 American Library in Paris Visiting Fellow. She is the author of Thinking Inside the Box: Adventures with Crosswords and the Puzzling People Who Can’t Live Without Them\, named an Editor’s Choice by the New York Times Book Review; What Was It For\, winner of the Rescue Press Black Box Poetry Prize; and Our Dark Academia\, forthcoming this fall. Her writing appears in the New York Times\, the New Yorker\, the Paris Review\, and many other publications. She has been a featured speaker at events such as the National Book Festival at the Library of Congress\, and she serves as a mentor with the Periplus collective. Raphel holds a PhD from Harvard\, an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop\, and a BA from Princeton.  \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Raphel 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]
