When Rodriguez was nine\, Fidel Castro announced his surprising decision to let 125\,000 traitors of the revolution\, or “worms\,” leave Cuba. Before they could leave\, his family was imprisoned and then marched to a flotilla that miraculously deposited them\, overnight\, in Florida. Worm recounts the coming-of-age of an artist and activist\, who\, witnessing America’s turn from democracy to extremism\, struggles to differentiate his adoptive country from the dictatorship he fled. \nThis conversation will be moderated by artist\, designer\, and educator\, Maria Krasinski. \nAbout the speakers: \nEdel Rodriguez is a Cuban American artist who has exhibited internationally with shows in New York\, Los Angeles\, Havana\, Berlin\, La Paz\, Cape Town\, Prague\, and London. A regular contributor to the New Yorker\, the New York Times\, and Time magazine\, he has created more than two hundred magazine and book covers and illustrated several children’s books\, including Sonia Sotomayor: A Judge Grows in the Bronx\, and is the author of Sergio Jumps and Sergio Saves the Game. Rodriguez’s artwork is in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution\, among others\, and he has received numerous awards from the Art Directors Club and the Society of Illustrators. Worm is his first graphic novel. He lives in New Jersey.  \nMaria Krasinski is an artist\, designer\, and multimedia educator. She is managing director of News Decoder\, a Paris-based educational news platform that partners with schools around the world to build global citizenship through journalism. She is the illustrator of the books Art Hiding in New York and Art Hiding in Paris\, and the forthcoming title\, I’m Not Your Muse: Uncovering the Overshadowed Brilliance of Women Artists & Visionaries.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Important information: The discussion will be available both online and in person.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) The Ethics of Blame with Miranda Fricker and Amanda Dennis

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.

SUMMARY:Critical Conversations 2024–25: The Internet Is Not What You Think\, Meeting One
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Register for Critical Conversations” style=”custom” custom_background=”#194573″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”left” css=”” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Famericanlibraryinparis.org%2Fcriticalconversations2425%2F”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]What is the internet? 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. Conversations will begin at 19h00 and run for ninety minutes\, in person\, at the Library. \nBy registering\, participants commit to attending all sessions and completing the assigned readings. To maintain the continuity of the series\, attendance to individual sessions is not permitted. \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

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. To read more about music’s magical effects on children\, visit www.musictogether.com.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1704560469856{border-left-width: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;border-left-color: #9e0143 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}”]Important information: This event is for Library members\, and advance registration is required.
