SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Nobles and Yeomen: How French Brought 'Class' to English with Peter Sokolowski
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]French words that we use in English might seem fancy—like cuisine or couture. But these borrowings are just the more recent French invaders into our vocabulary since the time of the Norman Conquest. Waves of French and Latin words over the centuries tell much more than a linguistic story: they are a map of how we identify class and privilege in the words we use every day. \nAbout the speaker: \nPeter Sokolowski is Editor at Large at Merriam-Webster. He has written definitions for many of Merriam-Webster’s dictionaries\, is active as a blogger\, podcaster\, and speaker on language\, and has served as pronouncer for spelling bees worldwide. He was named among TIME‘s 140 Best Twitter Feeds of 2013. \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Sokolowski 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.[/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) Lindsey Tramuta\, Rokhaya Diallo\, and Grace Ly on Who Represents France
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]France\, with its wine country and white cliffs\, has resided in the public imagination for centuries. The image of Paris has undergone a series of transformations: at varying points an artistic refuge\, City of Love\, symbol of the aristocratic world\, and center of revolution\, the capital’s historical identity is rich and many-sided. Yet what lurks behind the city\, the country\, and its people when one looks beyond images of bread\, cheese\, and berets? How have stereotypes evolved with social media\, immigration\, and a changing political landscape over the twenty-first century? What do they share with the reality of contemporary France? Join authors Lindsey Tramuta\, Rokhaya Diallo\, and Grace Ly to discuss the fictions and fantasies of modern French life. \nAbout the speakers: \nLindsey Tramuta is Paris-based journalist and author. She has written for the New York Times\, Condé Nast Traveler\, and Vogue\, among others. She has published two books: The New Paris: the People\, Places\, and Ideas Fueling a Movement (2017) and The New Parisienne: the Women and Ideas Shaping Paris (2020). \nRokhaya Diallo is a French journalist\, author\, and filmmaker known for her activism in the fields of racial and sexual equality. Her work has appeared in the Guardian\, Al Jazeera\, the Washington Post\, Slate\, and ELLE Magazine among others. She has published 10 acclaimed books\, including a graphic novel\, and has produced five activist documentaries. \nGrace Ly is an author\, podcaster\, and anti-racist and feminist activist. Her debut novel\, Jeune fille modèle\, was published in 2018.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Processing the Processed Food Industry with Michael Moss
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]From unscientific diets to snake-oil products\, ‘healthy eating’ has never been a more nebulous term or challenging project. Nutrition labels\, packed with figures and jargon\, are little help in understanding the content of what we consume. In fact\, argues Michael Moss\, they only serve to further mystify it. In Salt Sugar Fat and Hooked\, Moss reveals the secret ingredients to processed food’s domination of supermarkets. Hidden behind the foods many Americans love most–potato chips\, cookies\, soda–is a world of research and marketing aimed at designing the perfect\, and most perfectly addictive\, snack. Join Moss at the American Library to learn how the world got hooked\, and what we can do now. \nAbout the speaker: \nMichael Moss is a journalist and author of two New York Times bestselling books on the processed food industry\, Salt Sugar Fat (2014) and Hooked (2021). He is a frequent guest on newscasts globally\, from CBS This Morning to the BBC. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting in 2010 for his investigation of the dangers of contaminated meat. \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Moss 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) Hélène Périvier on The Feminist Economy
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Can one be both an economist and a feminist? This is the guiding question of Héléne Périvier’s L’économie féministe\, which seeks to rebuke the alleged neutrality of economics and expose its gendered core. The study of economics\, Périvier argues\, was developed by men to serve a society led by men\, and the field’s fundamental concepts and methods of analysis are derived from a patriarchal model. This is also a field in which women are severely underrepresented: barely a quarter of all economists are women. Responding to the challenges of a discipline which undermines women and from which women are largely absent\, Périvier proposes a critical alternative to the established economic model: the feminist economy. \nAbout the speaker: \nHéléne Périvier is an economist at the Observatoire française des conjonctures économiques of Sciences Po Université\, where she is also director of the Programme de Recherche et d’Enseignement des Savoirs sur le Genre (PRESAGE). Périvier led the European Commission’s Effective Gender Equality in Research and the Academia project from 2014-2017. L’économie féministe was published in 2020. \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Périvier 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.[/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) Jeff Deutsch on In Praise of Good Bookstores
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]What is the role of the bookstore in the contemporary\, digital age? What services does it offer that mammoth entities such as Amazon lack? Can bookstores change the way we read? In his eloquent and impassioned debut\, In Praise of Good Bookstores\, bookseller Jeff Deutsch argues that bookstores are much more than commercial enterprises. Rather\, they are civic institutions which promote unquantifiable values: community\, friendship\, self-reflection\, meditation\, and more. Drawing upon economic\, literary\, and art history\, Deutsch also calls upon his personal experience as director of Chicago’s renowned Seminary Co-op Bookstores to make the case for the personal and public necessity of good bookstores.  \nAbout the speaker:  \nJeff Deutsch is the director of Chicago’s Seminary Co-op Bookstores\, the first not-for-profit bookstore whose mission is bookselling.  \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Deutsch 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.[/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) Justin Smith on The Internet is Not What You Think It Is
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The internet was born out of a desire to improve human life. By increasing access to information and facilitating communication\, it would bring human beings closer\, united in their quest for enlightened living. This utopian dream\, argues historian Justin Smith in new work The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is\, is the product of centuries of work aimed at making knowledge distributable. Unfortunately\, Smith contends\, this dream is officially\, definitively dead. Considering social media\, information algorithms\, and smartphone dependency\, Smith shows how the internet was transformed from social tool to social problem. Equal parts intellectual history\, philosophical treatise\, and manifesto\, the book sounds the alarm for our future. Smith will be in conversation with Analog Sea founding editor Jonathan Simons and American Library Programs Manager Alice McCrum. \nAbout the speaker: \nJustin Smith is a historian and philosopher of science. A professor at the University of Paris\, Smith is the author of Irrationality: A History of the Dark Side of Reason (2019)\, The Philosopher: A History in Six Types (2016)\, and Divine Machines: Leibniz and the Sciences of Life (2011). \nJonathan Simons is the founding editor of offline publishing house Analog Sea and its literary journal\, The Analog Sea Review. As a poet and essayist\, he has written for publications including the London Magazine\, PN Review\, El País\, subTerrain Magazine\, and the Analog Sea Review.  \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Smith 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. \nUS viewers\, please note French daylight savings time. This event will happen at 2:30 pm EDT. \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:Entre Nous: Three Archives in Conversation with Lynnette Widder\, João Pina\, and Mila Turajlić
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Archives are imagined to be well-ordered places of safe-keeping; but most discoveries are made in unsuspected and unordered repositories of the past. Lynnette Widder\, João Pina\, and Mila Turajlić will talk about their experiences with archives as a catalyst for their work – archives neglected by history\, maintained by families\, sequestered in institutions\, left behind in unculled bequests. \nThe conversation is in celebration of Widder’s architecture book Year Zero to Economic Miracle: Hans Schwippert and Sep Ruf in Postwar West German Building Culture and Turajlić’s documentary film Ciné-guerrillas: The Scenes From the Labudović Reels\, and in anticipation of Pina’s forthcoming book on the discovery of family photographs of the Tarrafal concentration camp in Cape Verde. \nThe Entre Nous series is co-organized by Columbia Global Centers | Paris\, the Institute for Ideas and Imagination\, and the American Library in Paris. \nImportant information: This event will take place in person at Reid Hall | Columbia Global Centers at 4 rue de Chevreuse. \nAccess to this event requires registration through Columbia Global Centers | Paris.

SUMMARY:(Online) Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim on Ecology and Religion
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]What can world religions teach us about the earth? How does religion express our relationship to nature\, and how can we use religious philosophy to mitigate nature’s destruction? Yale historians of religion Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim will speak on their work\, Ecology and Religion. Posing the question\, “what is religious ecology?”\, the book shows how global religions and environmental practices intersect in ways both obvious and surprising. Ultimately\, Tucker and Grim propose that religion can contribute an ethical and spiritual dimension to ecology\, motivating the fight for climate justice.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Lauren Bastide on Feminist Futures
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]What would a truly feminist society look like? In new work Futur.es\, author Lauren Bastide asks what would happen if feminist principles were pushed beyond gender relations and applied to all aspects of public and private life. The result\, she argues\, would be a total transformation of our most basic beliefs and practices. From education and prison reform\, to love and work\, feminist theory could be capable of revolutionizing the modern world and confronting the most pressing issues of the contemporary age. The tools to build the future we want\, claims Bastide\, are already at our disposal: it is now our responsibility to use them. Bastide will be speaking with journalist Madeleine Schwartz at the American Library on the state of the present and the multiple possibilities of a feminist future. \nAbout the speakers: \nLauren Bastide is a journalist and writer. She is the creator of the podcast La Poudre\, on which she hosts artists\, writers\, scientists\, and activists to speak on feminist issues. Futur.es follows Bastide’s work Presentes (2020)\, which documents women’s experiences and contemporary feminist struggles. \nMadeleine Schwartz is a journalist and editor based in Paris whose work has appeared in The New Yorker\, The London Review of Books and The New York Review of Books \nImportant information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Bastide 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.[/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]
