SUMMARY:(Offsite) Festival America: Women's Bodies
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]It took centuries of struggle for women to be able to express themselves without restriction. But\, let’s face it\, this freedom is not accepted everywhere\, especially when it comes to writing about the body. With the #MeToo movement\, women’s bodies have been invited into the literary space\, challenging a dominant male vision. How are women writers writing about the body today? \nWith Isabela Figueiredo\, Lauren Groff and Szilvia Molnar.  \nThis event will be moderated by Curator of Cultural Programs at the American Library in Paris\, Rachel Donadio. \nAbout Festival America: \nThe 11th edition of AMERICA will take place in Vincennes from 26-29 September 2024\, and will for the first time be the venue for exchanges and debates between American and European writers. \nEvery two years since 2002\, the AMERICA festival has brought together writers from North America. Over seven hundred authors from Canada\, Quebec\, the USA\, Mexico\, Cuba and Haiti have come to meet their French readers. For 4 days and 3 evenings\, the Vincennes event offers a rich program of meetings – booksellers’ café\, major interviews\, thematic debates – screenings of adaptations of novels or documentaries\, a children’s festival\, concerts and events combining books and street culture. \nAMERICA’s strength lies in the fact that it brings American voices and texts to Vincennes\, shedding light on the universality of each artist’s work.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1662638079176{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][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Important information: This event will take place in person at CŒUR DE VILLE\, AUDITORIUM 98 rue de Fontenay 94300 Vincennes. \nAccess to this event requires purchase of a ticket through Festival America.

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.

What is ‘epistemic injustice’ and how does it affect these practices? How is it being used in processes of truth and reconciliation in South America and in supporting women survivors to come forward and tell their stories?  How can the techniques of fiction deepen our insights into philosophical questions? How does unequal access to conceptual language enable some people to tell their stories\, while others suffer without knowing how to put names to their experiences? Miranda Fricker\, a professor of philosophy at New York University\, will discuss these questions with novelist Amanda Dennis. Fricker coined the term ‘epistemic injustice’ in her 2007 book Epistemic Injustice: Power and the Ethics of Knowing.  \nThis event is produced in collaboration with the American University of Paris.   \nAbout the speakers: \nMiranda Fricker is Julius Silver Professor of Philosophy at NYU\, and Co-Director of the New York Institute for Philosophy. She is the author of Epistemic Injustice: Power and the Ethics of Knowing\, and her recent research is mainly in moral philosophy. She is a Fellow of the British Academy\, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Her forthcoming book\, Blaming and Forgiving: The Work of Morality\, explores the interpersonal moral psychological responses of blaming\, apologizing\, and forgiving. \nAmanda Dennis is the author of the novel Her Here\, and a book about Samuel Beckett and French philosophy: Beckett and Embodiment: Body\, Space\, Agency. Her writing has appeared in the Los Angeles Review of Books\, the Times Literary Supplement\, and Guernica. She teaches creative writing and comparative literature at the American University of Paris.

How far back in history can we find its precursors\, in the form either of mechanical social\, or perhaps even biological information networks? What are the political and philosophical ideas that drove early efforts to network human society? And is the internet a fulfilment of these ideas\, or does the actually existing internet turn out to be in certain respects fundamentally different from the political and philosophical vision that guided its early development? \nIn this series of conversations\, we will be taking a maximally wide-focused view of these questions\, and we will be looking in particular at their importance for understanding the unprecedent technological revolution we are currently living through\, as well as its economic\, political\, cultural\, and psychological consequences. We will be focusing in particular on those thinkers who have articulated a theoretical account of the nature of information networks\, the possibility of machine intelligence\, or the utopian (or dystopian) prospects of a society reliant on machine-aided decision-making.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””] \nRegistration Details:\n\n\nThe 2024–2025 series will unfold over eight sessions\, on Thursdays from October 2024 to June 2024.
