SUMMARY:(Hybrid) The International Library: Brown Diaspora with Moon Charania
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Moon Charania is a writer and cultural scholar whose work stands at the intersectionality of race\, gender\, and diasporic studies. In her new book\, Archive of Tongues (2023)\, Charania weaves together the personal and the theoretical\, using her own mother’s life as a prism to refract upon the broader experiences of brown women around the world. Her work examines histories of migration\, dispossession\, violence\, and sexuality\, offering a fresh perspective on rhythms of everyday life for marginalized women. At its heart\, Archive of Tongues not only uncovers the hidden archives of brown mothers’ lives\, but also invites us to reconsider the foundational assumptions of feminist\, queer\, and postcolonial studies. \nCharania will appear in conversation with Sandeep Bakshi\, Associate Professor of Decolonial\, Postcolonial and Queer Studies at University Paris Cité. \nAbout the speakers: \nMoon Charania is an Associate Professor of International Studies and Comparative Women’s Studies at Spelman College. Dr. Charania is a feminist theorist whose research explores the psychosocial dimensions of the lives of women of color – she investigates social\, political\, and intimate issues in relation to violence and care\, gender and sexuality\, racism\, and the diasporic experience. She is the author of two books\, Archive of Tongues: An Intimate History of Brownness (Duke University Press\, 2023) and Will the Real Pakistani Woman Please Stand Up: Empire\, Visual Culture\, and the Brown Female Body (McFarland 2015). Charania is also the recipient of a number of awards and fellowships\, including the Anschutz Distinguished Fellow in American Studies at Princeton University (2024)\, a Fulbright Specialist Appointee (2023)\, Emory University Psychoanalytic Society (2023)\, a Fellow at Emory University James Weldon Johnson Institute for the Study of Race and Difference (2018). She is beginning a new book project on brownness and femicide.  \nSandeep Bakshi researches on transnational queer and decolonial enunciation of knowledges. He received his PhD from the School of English\, University of Leicester\, UK\, and is currently employed as an Associate Professor of Decolonial\, Postcolonial and Queer Studies at University Paris Cité. He coordinates two research seminars\, “Peripheral Knowledges” and “Empires\, Souths\, Sexualities\,” and leads the Pôle Société Civile of the Cité du Genre Institute\, Université Paris Cité. Co-editor of Decolonizing Sexualities: Transnational Perspectives\, Critical Interventions (Oxford: Counterpress\, 2016)\, ‘Decolonial Trajectories’\, special issue of Interventions(2020)\, and Qu’est-ce que l’Intersectionnalité? Dominations plurielles : sexe\, classe et race (2021)\, he has published on queer and race problematics in postcolonial literatures and cultures. He is the co-founder and serves on the board of the Decolonizing Sexualities Network (https://decolonizingsexualities.org). \nAbout the International Library series:  \nThis conversation is part of the International Library\, a new series launched in collaboration with the Center for Fiction in Brooklyn and the Center for the Art of Translation in San Francisco which will offer conversations across time\, place\, and language.  \nThe International Library celebrates the live diffusion of in-person conversations in the hope of connecting new audiences across land and sea for a collective\, intercultural experience. These conversations will broach deeper questions about writing and translation as we learn 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.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Learn more: \nWhile she was completing the research and writing of her own book on brown maternal diaspora\, Moon Charania wrote a review José Esteban Muñoz’s book The Sense of Brown. The review introduces some of the key themes and concepts of Charania’s work (including diasporic experience\, brownness\, and maternity). Read the review here.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Important information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (the speakers 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 conversation will be livestreamed at the Center for the Art of Translation and the Center for Fiction as part of the International Library series. \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_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][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][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Critical Conversations Meeting Six: Online Stupidity\, Why Conversations Fail at Scale
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The problems of our century demand collective intelligence\, and yet the rise of social media seems to bring nothing but collective stupidity. Why do social media apps and online forums seem to bring out our most extreme\, gullible or trivial qualities?

Critical  Conversations encourages both disagreement and agreement through thinking\, talking\,  reading\, and actively participating in community. Since the series’ inception in 2020\, we have tackled race in America\, the climate crisis\, migration\, and technology. Across seasons\, participants have challenged themselves\, their peers\, and the world in which we live.  \nPlease note\, this event and all event in the Critical Conversations series require advance registration and payment. Please register here by filling out the form at the bottom of the page.  \nPlease write to programs@americanlibraryinparis.org with any questions or thoughts.  \nAbout Critical Conversations: Whether in France or America\, debate is central to healthy democracy.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Charles Trueheart presents Diplomats at War
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]For many in the American Library in Paris community\, Charles Trueheart requires no introduction. Trueheart was the Director of the American Library from 2007 to 2017\, during which time he oversaw remarkable growth and evolution at our beloved institution. He continues his service to the American Library as a member of the Board of Trustees.  \nTrueheart has recently published a memoir about his family’s involvement in American political history\, specifically the Vietnam War. His godfather was Frederick “Fritz” Nolting\, the US ambassador to South Vietnam from 1961 to 1963\, and his father was William Trueheart\, Nolting’s second-in-command. Nolting and William Trueheart were close friends for many years\, but their friendship was torn apart by the war that went on to traumatize the populations of both the US and Vietnam for generations. In Diplomats at War\, Trueheart draws from personal memory\, family records\, and his decades of experience as a political reporter to contemplate the breakdown of a friendship alongside the story of the US’s involvement in Vietnam. \nAbout the speaker: \nCharles Trueheart was director of the American Library in Paris from 2007 to 2017. Most of his earlier career was in journalism\, including fifteen years at the Washington Post\, first covering book publishing and literary topics\, then as a correspondent in Canada and France. Before joining the Post\, Trueheart was associate director of the Institute of Politics at Harvard University and director of the Kennedy School of Government’s Public Affairs Forum. His writing has appeared in the Atlantic Monthly and the American Scholar\, where he is a contributing editor. His book on Vietnam during the Kennedy years\, Diplomats at War\, was released in February 2024. Trueheart was educated at Exeter and Amherst. He and his wife\, Anne Swardson\, live in Paris and Staunton\, Virginia.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Learn more: \nYou can read excerpts from Diplomats at War here. \nTrueheart is a contributing editor for the American Scholar.

SUMMARY:Music Together with Stacey Pavesi Debré (ages 0–5)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Today\, it’s common for us to simply listen to music rather than create it ourselves. But actively making music—with our voices and our bodies—is important to children’s overall development. Since 1987\, Music Together\, has introduced millions of children\, parents\, and teachers to the joys of music-making and the powerful benefits of having music in their lives. In our family workshops children and parents learn together through active exploration and live\, meaningful interaction. So\, take out the earbuds and pick up the instruments we were all given at birth—ourselves! Each child (aged 0–5) should accompany one of their favorite grownups. \nAbout Stacey Pavesi Debré:  An American in Paris since 2014\, Stacey has been passionate about music and learning her whole life. She studied piano and string bass\, joined choirs\, orchestras\, a capella groups and musical theaters\, and worked as a vocalist in Japan and a singing bartender in NYC. In 2017\, Stacey founded Bébé Music Box to bring Music Together’s award-winning music and movement classes to families and schools in Paris. Our weekly mixed-age family classes are a fun\, dynamic\, and inspiring way for families to connect through music. Plus\, because music learning supports all learning\, the benefits for our young music-makers extend well beyond class. For more information about Bébé Music Box family classes or to contact Stacey\, visit www.bbmusicbox.com.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Heroines and Historical Fiction with Katherine J. Chen
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In her new book Joan\, Katherine J. Chen reimagines the life of the legendary Joan of Arc\, infusing the historical narrative with a fresh\, contemporary voice. Chen delves into the complexities of Joan’s character\, presenting her not just as a martyr and saint\, but as a flesh-and-blood young woman with fears\, ambitions\, and a formidable sense of purpose. Combining meticulous research with imaginative storytelling\, Joan offers a nuanced exploration of faith\, power\, and gender dynamics in medieval France. \nChen will appear in conversation with Patricia Dailey\, a medieval scholar who focuses on histories of gender and sexuality. Dailey is currently a Faculty Visitor at the Institute for Ideas and Imagination. \nAbout the speaker: \nKatherine J. Chen is the author of Joan: A Novel of Joan of Arc (Random House US / Hodder & Stoughton UK)\, which won the 2023 American Library in Paris Book Award\, and Mary B. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, The New York Times Book Review\, Los Angeles Review of Books\, Literary Hub\, and other publications. Her next book\, under contract with Random House\, will explore the complex sibling relationship between Morgan le Fay and Arthur. She is a graduate of Princeton University and Boston University’s MFA Fiction program\, and she is currently a doctoral student in the Department of English at Brown University. \nPatricia Dailey is an Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University. Her work spans medieval literature\, contemporary philosophy\, gender studies\, psychedelic studies\, and eco-criticism.  She is the author of Promised Bodies: Time\, Language\, and Corporeality in Medieval Women’s Mystical Texts (Columbia UP 2013)\, and has authored numerous articles. She is finishing a book on the arboreal sublime; while also writing an experimental autobiography of parentheses\, or\, what could be called life\, in parentheses.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Learn more: \nRead an excerpt from Chen’s 2023 American Library in Paris Book Award winning novel Joan. \nChen’s first novel\, Mary B\, brings a vivid voice to the most-overlooked Bennet sister from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Opéra Comique presents Archipel(s)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Join us in welcoming the Opéra Comique back to the Library and discover their new show Archipel(s). Commissioned by their youth theater troupe La Maîtrise Populaire de L’Opéra Comique\, this production combines singing\, acting\, and dance. The story\, inspired by a series of workshops conducted with the Maîtrise’s pupils\, is an exploration of coming-of-age and how young people follow\, or choose to break\, society’s rules. \nLibrettist Adrien Borne\, choreographer Ewan Jones\, and stage director James Bonas will offer a behind-the-scenes perspective on the show’s creation and share their thoughts on opera’s place in the future. \nAbout the speakers: \nDirector James Bonas recently directed Leonard Bernstein’s Candide at the Welsh National Opera with his regulator collaborator\, animation artist Grégoire Pont. The pair also directed the French premiere of Hans Abrahamsen’s The Snow Queen for the Opéra National du Rhin and Carl Orff’s Der Mond and Maurice Ravel’s L’Enfant et les Sortilèges and L’Heure Espagnole for the Opéra de Lyon. \nChoreographer Ewan Jones trained in musical theater at Arts Educational Schools London and holds an MA in choreography. His work in musical theater and opera has taken him around the world; most recently he returned from Dubai\, where he was staging the critically acclaimed new version of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera. Other international credits include Matilda (Norway); Something Rotten! and Sister Act (Germany); The Phantom of the Opera (Romania\, Norway\, Greece\, Bulgaria\, and Saudi Arabia); Der Mond in Lyon and L’Étoile (Portugal). In 2019 Jones became movement coordinator and choreographer for seasons 2 and 3 of the hit Netflix TV series Sex Education. Following that\, he was invited to join Disney+ as movement director for their upcoming series The Ballad of Renegade Nell. \nLibrettist Adrien Borne is the author of several award-winning novels in French\, including Mémoire de soie et La Vie qui commence\, published by JC Lattès\, as well as an adaptation of the opera Carmen for teenagers. He divides his time between writing\, journalism\, and public speaking. His work explores the liberating power of words and the stories they tell\, whether fictional or real.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Learn more: \nThe Maîtrise Populaire de l’Opéra Comique brings together young performers ages eight through twenty-five for an immersive education in the theater arts.

SUMMARY:(In Person Full) (Hybrid) The US Presidential Elections: Journalists Look at What’s Ahead
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The US presidential race has provoked intense anxiety\, not only among voters but also around the world. The results could have profound implications on almost every front: immigration\, the war in Ukraine\, the Middle East\, NATO\, Russia\, the Supreme Court. Join us for an extended\, 90-minute media panel moderated by Vivienne Walt\, in partnership with the Overseas Press Club of America\, to discuss how the campaign is going\, what to look for in the months ahead\, and to answer your questions. \nPlease note the early start time of this event. \nPlease note that while in-person registration to this event is now full\, registration to attend on Zoom is still available. \nAbout the speakers: \nVivienne Walt is a Paris correspondent for TIME Magazine and Fortune Magazine. Her work has appeared in the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, the Wall Street Journal\, National Geographic\, BusinessWeek\, and more. She is governor of the Overseas Press Club of America. \nThe Washington Post’s senior national political correspondent\, Ashley Parker has covered the White House since Trump’s 2016 election\, a campaign she also covered. She has shared two Pulitzer Prizes\, one for Russia’s interference in the 2016 elections\, the other for the January 6 insurrection. Ashley will Zoom in from the campaign trial to talk about Biden’s strengths and weaknesses\, and a Trump victory might bring. She recently described the feeling in the Democratic Party: “There’s a deep concern Biden may not be the best candidate to beat Trump…There’s a desire among some for a plan B.”  \nThe New York Times chief diplomatic correspondent in Europe\, Steven Erlanger has covered about 120 countries. He’s been bureau chief in eight cities\, including London\, Moscow\, Jerusalem and Paris\, and has also served as the Times’ chief diplomatic correspondent in Washington. He has shared two Pulitzer Prizes for the New York Times\, one for covering Al Qaeda after 9/11\, the other for coverage of Russia in 2017. Steve will talk about how the U.S. elections will impact the world. Recently he wrote: “For most European governments\, the prospect that Trump could return to the White House is a prime topic of private discussion. Mr. Trump’s victory in 2016 gave a major boost to European populist politics\, and another victory would almost surely do the same.” \nGuillaume Debré\, Deputy Editorial Director of TF1\, France’s biggest TV news network\, was based in Washington for 16 years\, working for CNN and French TV\, covering the Obama and Trump presidencies. He’s the author of several books on US politics\, including on Obama and Trump\, and a book titled “How Money Ruined American democracy.” Guillaume will talk about how the elections are being covered by the rest of the world\, from his Paris perch\, and how the stakes are truly global.  \nFor years\, Cuban-American illustrator Edel Rodriguez has captured the dark absurdity of US politics on the covers of TIME\, the New Yorker\, and others. His “Meltdown” and “Total Meltdown” TIME covers became iconic representations of the Trump presidency. He will join the panel on Zoom to talk about how to portray the election’s epic importance amid media overload and voter dissatisfaction.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Important information: The discussion will be available both online and in person.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Looking to Art\, At Home and Abroad with Benjamin Moser
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In 2002\, at the age of twenty-five\, Benjamin Moser moved from New York to the Netherlands. In search of places to anchor him in his new home\, he began paying visits to Dutch art museums\, where he developed a fascination with the “Dutch Masters” (a term given to a group of 17th-century Dutch painters\, including Rembrandt and Vermeer\, who developed distinctive styles and produced works that continue to inspire viewers). In his new book\, The Upside-Down World\, Moser delves into the details of the lives of the Dutch Masters\, drawing from scant historical records to generate speculative musings and biographical accounts of these beloved painters. \nMoser has also produced several other award-winning biographies and translations. His 2009 biography of the Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector has been instrumental in securing Lispector’s rich literary legacy among global audiences. His 2019 biography of Susan Sontag was widely praised and won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography. Through his biographies and his translations\, Moser bridges both linguistic and cultural gaps\, deftly introducing the complexities of foreign literature and the lives of international artistic figures to the English-speaking world. \nMoser will be joined in conversation by Pamela Druckerman\, a cultural writer and journalist. Druckerman has published five books and has written for The New York Times\, The Atlantic\, and Le Monde\, among other publications. \nAbout the speakers: \nBenjamin Moser is the author of Why This World: A Biography of Clarice Lispector\, a finalist for the National Book Critics’ Circle Award and a New York Times Notable Book of 2009. For his work bringing Clarice Lispector to international prominence\, including through publishing her complete works in English\, he received Brazil’s first State Prize for Cultural Diplomacy. For Sontag: Her Life and Work\, he won the Pulitzer Prize. His latest book\, The Upside-Down World: Meetings with the Dutch Masters\, was published in October 2023. He lives in the Netherlands and France. \nPamela Druckerman is a journalist and the author of five books including Bringing Up Bébé\, which has been translated into 31 languages. She won an Emmy for The Forger\, a New York Times documentary about a French teenager in WWII. Her op-eds\, essays\, articles and reviews have  been published in the The New York Times\, The Economist\, The Atlantic\, Le Monde and many other publications. [/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Learn more: \nMoser recently translated an interview with the renowned Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector from Portuguese to English.
