A Conversation with Giannina Braschi: Writing Beyond Dystopia
Monday, November 3, 2025 1:30 pm
Online Event Join us for an event featuring Giannina Braschi—poet, novelist, essayist, and pioneer of Spanglish in literature. Professor Patricia López-Gay will be in dialogue with Braschi. In an age saturated by dystopian narratives that often reinforce the status quo, Braschi’s hybrid and radical work in Spanish, English, and Spanglish opens up new ways of thinking about identity, power, and the future. Her groundbreaking contributions have been widely recognized with numerous awards, and she is celebrated as one of the most influential voices in contemporary Latinx literature.
This dialogue is part of the A Cartography for the Future online speaking series, which engages with creative and critical practices that respond to the prevailing sense that we are witnessing the end of the world (as we know it.) From ecological collapse and pandemics to war and the breakdown of analog life, we ask how storytelling can move us beyond catastrophe, offering new imaginaries of feeling and forms of connection, survival, and renewal.
Conducted in Spanish. Organized by Professor López-Gay. Co-sponsored by Spanish Studies, and LAIS. Open to the Bard Spanish-speaking community. To RSVP and to access relevant reading materials for this event, please contact Prof. López-Gay at [email protected]Sponsored by: Spanish Studies, LAIS, and Experimental Humanities.

Literature Salon: On Cunning, or, Art and Craft in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra
Adhaar Noor Desai, Associate Professor of Literature, Bard College
Monday, November 10, 2025 5–6:30 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 204 This presentation draws on a chapter-in-progress from Professor Desai's next book project, tentatively titled How Shakespeare Judged His Art: Lofty, Stately, Cunning, Rare, Fair. An attempt to reconstruct how writers in early modern England approached literary craft, the book focuses on some of the terms Shakespeare and his contemporaries used when appraising their work. "Cunning"— a term affiliated with domains as distant as courtly poetry, military strategy, and racially suspect "gypsies"—appears in Antony and Cleopatra to demonstrate how elitism and racecraft operate by playing fast and loose with the proximity between skill and deceit, technique and trickery. An excerpt of this chapter draft will be circulated beforehand, and the presentation will include ample time for questions and for discussing research methods, the writing process, and the practical challenges of starting a new project.Sponsored by: Literature Program.

James Joyce and Marcel Proust met only once, at a late-night supper in the Hotel Majestic in Paris in May 1922. This lecture will revisit their brief and awkward encounter and explore what it reveals about the literary and social worlds of early twentieth-century Paris, how artistic value is created and sustained, and the contrasting experiences of exile and belonging that shaped each writer’s work.
Barry McCrea is the Donald R. Keough Family Professor of Irish Studies and Professor of English at Notre Dame University.

Chronic Erasure: Reflection on Archive, Curation, and Storage in Palestine under Israeli Settler Colonialism
Mazen Iwaisi, Ibrahim Abu Lughod fellow, Columbia University
Wednesday, November 12, 2025 6 pm
Bertelsmann Campus Center, Weis Cinema
Mazen Iwaisi's research examines how Israeli settler colonialism operates through archaeological archival practices to disrupt Palestinian presence and state-building processes. Employing institutional ethnography and archival analysis, he investigates how archives become sites of contestation between colonial erasure and Palestinian institutional development. Israeli settler colonialism undermines Palestinian heritage institutions through "chronic erasure"—manipulating temporal frameworks that destroy present Palestinian connections whilst fabricating alternative Israeli narratives. Palestinian state-building efforts resist these processes through institutional archaeology, creating archives that assert sovereignty and cultural continuity despite occupation.
Cases from Gaza's emergency artefact preservation and West Bank excavations reveal how Palestinian archival practices embody resistance, establishing knowledge infrastructures whilst confronting colonial dispossession. The Palestinian Department of Antiquities exemplifies this tension, navigating resource constraints and political limitations whilst building institutional capacity for heritage preservation. This demonstrates how Palestinian archival work transcends documentation, functioning as state-building acts that assert Palestinian historical presence while constructing institutional frameworks for cultural preservation and national continuity. These practices counter settler colonial temporality by maintaining Palestinian cultural memory against systematic erasure.
This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Curatorial Studies, the Human Rights Project and the Anthropology program.

A Conversation with Giannina Braschi: Writing Beyond Dystopia
Monday, November 3, 2025 1:30 pm
Online Event Join us for an event featuring Giannina Braschi—poet, novelist, essayist, and pioneer of Spanglish in literature. Professor Patricia López-Gay will be in dialogue with Braschi. In an age saturated by dystopian narratives that often reinforce the status quo, Braschi’s hybrid and radical work in Spanish, English, and Spanglish opens up new ways of thinking about identity, power, and the future. Her groundbreaking contributions have been widely recognized with numerous awards, and she is celebrated as one of the most influential voices in contemporary Latinx literature.
This dialogue is part of the A Cartography for the Future online speaking series, which engages with creative and critical practices that respond to the prevailing sense that we are witnessing the end of the world (as we know it.) From ecological collapse and pandemics to war and the breakdown of analog life, we ask how storytelling can move us beyond catastrophe, offering new imaginaries of feeling and forms of connection, survival, and renewal.
Conducted in Spanish. Organized by Professor López-Gay. Co-sponsored by Spanish Studies, and LAIS. Open to the Bard Spanish-speaking community. To RSVP and to access relevant reading materials for this event, please contact Prof. López-Gay at [email protected]Sponsored by: Spanish Studies, LAIS, and Experimental Humanities.

Literature Salon: On Cunning, or, Art and Craft in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra
Adhaar Noor Desai, Associate Professor of Literature, Bard College
Monday, November 10, 2025 5–6:30 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 204 This presentation draws on a chapter-in-progress from Professor Desai's next book project, tentatively titled How Shakespeare Judged His Art: Lofty, Stately, Cunning, Rare, Fair. An attempt to reconstruct how writers in early modern England approached literary craft, the book focuses on some of the terms Shakespeare and his contemporaries used when appraising their work. "Cunning"— a term affiliated with domains as distant as courtly poetry, military strategy, and racially suspect "gypsies"—appears in Antony and Cleopatra to demonstrate how elitism and racecraft operate by playing fast and loose with the proximity between skill and deceit, technique and trickery. An excerpt of this chapter draft will be circulated beforehand, and the presentation will include ample time for questions and for discussing research methods, the writing process, and the practical challenges of starting a new project.Sponsored by: Literature Program.

James Joyce and Marcel Proust met only once, at a late-night supper in the Hotel Majestic in Paris in May 1922. This lecture will revisit their brief and awkward encounter and explore what it reveals about the literary and social worlds of early twentieth-century Paris, how artistic value is created and sustained, and the contrasting experiences of exile and belonging that shaped each writer’s work.
Barry McCrea is the Donald R. Keough Family Professor of Irish Studies and Professor of English at Notre Dame University.

Chronic Erasure: Reflection on Archive, Curation, and Storage in Palestine under Israeli Settler Colonialism
Mazen Iwaisi, Ibrahim Abu Lughod fellow, Columbia University
Wednesday, November 12, 2025 6 pm
Bertelsmann Campus Center, Weis Cinema
Mazen Iwaisi's research examines how Israeli settler colonialism operates through archaeological archival practices to disrupt Palestinian presence and state-building processes. Employing institutional ethnography and archival analysis, he investigates how archives become sites of contestation between colonial erasure and Palestinian institutional development. Israeli settler colonialism undermines Palestinian heritage institutions through "chronic erasure"—manipulating temporal frameworks that destroy present Palestinian connections whilst fabricating alternative Israeli narratives. Palestinian state-building efforts resist these processes through institutional archaeology, creating archives that assert sovereignty and cultural continuity despite occupation.
Cases from Gaza's emergency artefact preservation and West Bank excavations reveal how Palestinian archival practices embody resistance, establishing knowledge infrastructures whilst confronting colonial dispossession. The Palestinian Department of Antiquities exemplifies this tension, navigating resource constraints and political limitations whilst building institutional capacity for heritage preservation. This demonstrates how Palestinian archival work transcends documentation, functioning as state-building acts that assert Palestinian historical presence while constructing institutional frameworks for cultural preservation and national continuity. These practices counter settler colonial temporality by maintaining Palestinian cultural memory against systematic erasure.
This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Curatorial Studies, the Human Rights Project and the Anthropology program.
