Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium
In 2019, scholar, writer and artist Frances Negrón-Muntaner conceived the award-winning art installation Valor y Cambio to explore what people in Puerto Rico valued and to introduce the concept of a community currency. The project exceeded all expectations by attracting thousands of participants and inspiring the creation of community currencies in Puerto Rico and the United States. In this talk, Negrón-Muntaner reflects on the origins and impact of the project, and introduces a new concept arising from it: decolonial joy. This is a specific form of joy that arises when participants envision and experience a time where neither colonialism nor coloniality rule their lives.Sponsored by: Anthropology Program; Division of Languages and Literature; Global and International Studies Program; LAIS Program; Political Studies Program.

6:00pm Reception
Tuesday, November 5, 2019
Campus Center, Weis Cinema
THE PRESENCE OF THEIR ABSENCE is the amazing story of a Los Angeles man seeking his roots in the ashes of the Holocaust.
The film encourages discussion on the new oral tradition that belongs uniquely to adult children of Shoah survivors. Few of their stories have ever been told.
We follow Fred Zaidman on his journey to trace his inherited trauma. Armed with only scant clues from his late parents who had survived concentration camps in Poland and Germany, Fred ventures into the unknown to tell his story for this first time.
With helpers in Poland, at Yad Vashem in Israel, at Bergen-Belsen, Germany - and with an unlikely source – a Baptist minister in Atlanta who guides us through a cemetery in Poland - Fred finds his roots, unshackles his pain and reconstructs his future.
We feature a Death March survivor from Fred’s ancestral town, Fred’s brother Martin – one of 1000 children born in the Bergen-Belsen DP camp – and discover living relatives in Israel among findings of those who perished in Poland.
Yad Vashem has called The Presence of Their Absence “a film for the ages." We are honored to be at the forefront of this groundbreaking tradition and look forward to sharing Fred’s courageous story.Sponsored by: Institute of Advanced Theology; Jewish Studies Program; The Rhinebeck Reformed Church, and The Jewish Federation of Dutchess County.

Jürgen Böttcher
Monday, November 11, 2019
Campus Center, Weis Cinema
Discussion with German Studies students and eminent essayist Uwe Kolbe
Jürgen Böttcher’s striking documentary Die Mauer (The Wall, 1990) is praised as the unparalleled masterpiece on the fall of the Berlin Wall. The acclaimed filmmaker and painter explores the meaning of the Wall in the historical moment of its disappearance as the dividing line between East and West. The film portrays the Berlin Wall as a monument and canvas on which German histories are being projected. Böttcher’s film Die Mauer received the Golden Camera at the Berlin Film Festival and has been shown all over the world, including at MoMA, New York. The screening will also include a selection of rarely seen short films by Jürgen Böttcher.
Uwe Kolbe is an eminent poet, essayist, writer of prose, and translator. His first volume of poetry, Hineingeboren (Born Into), appeared in East Berlin in 1980. The increasingly critical nature of his writing led to a ban on publication in the GDR soon after. During the early 1980s, he edited the underground journal Mikado. Eventually, he was permitted to travel abroad and lived between Hamburg and East Berlin. Uwe Kolbe is author of 13 books of poetry and recipient of many prestigious prizes. He also was a writer in residence at the University of Texas Austin and at Oberlin College. His collection of essays, Vineta’s Archives (2012), received the distinguished Heinrich-Mann-Award by the Academy of Arts Berlin.Sponsored by: German Studies Program.

Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium
On Monday, November 11, at 6:30 p.m., in the László Z. Bitó ’60 Auditorium, Reem-Kayden Center (RKC), Sigrid Nunez reads from her work. Presented by the Innovative Contemporary Fiction Reading Series and the Written Arts Program, and introduced by MacArthur Fellow Dinaw Mengestu, the reading is free and open to the public; no tickets or reservations are required. Books by Sigrid Nunez will be available for sale, courtesy of Oblong Books & Music.
Sigrid Nunez was born and raised in New York City, the daughter of a German mother and a Panamanian-Chinese father. In 1972, after graduating from Barnard College, Nunez worked as an editorial assistant for Robert B. Silvers at the New York Review of Books. She then received her MFA from Columbia University and returned to NYRB, where she met the late Susan Sontag, who became the subject of her 2011 memoir, Sempre Susan. Nunez chronicled her childhood and adolescence in her first book, a hybrid novel, A Feather on the Breath of God (1995), both a critical and commercial success. Her novel For Rouenna (2001), which tells the story of a woman’s experiences in the Vietnam War, was seen by many as her “breakthrough work.” In her fiction, Nunez has experimented with a vast range of genres and themes, marked by a spare, intimate, confessional tone. While beloved by fellow novelists, Nunez kept a deliberate distance from the literary scene, but with the 2018 publication of “The Friend,” Nunez became an “overnight literary sensation,” winning the 2018 National Book Award for Fiction and drawing euphoric reviews that hailed the novel as “a subtle, unassuming masterpiece” (New York Times).
Sigrid Nunez is the author of eight books. Her work has appeared in anthologies including four Pushcart Prize volumes, four anthologies of Asian-American literature, and The Best American Short Stories 2019. She is the recipient of a Whiting Writer’s Award, a Berlin Prize Fellowship, and two awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters: the Rosenthal Foundation Award and the Rome Prize in Literature. Her work has been translated into ten languages and is in the process of being translated into thirteen more. She lives in New York City.
“Nunez’s prose itself comforts us. Her confident and direct style uplifts—the music in her sentences, her deep and varied intelligence. She addresses important ideas unpretentiously and offers wisdom for any aspiring writer.” —New York Times Book Review
“Nunez has proved herself a master of psychological acuity.” —New Yorker
“A major talent . . . [Nunez’s] gift is wild and large.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“Nunez’s piercing intelligence and post-feminist consciousness may well feel that writing the Great American novel is no longer a feasible or worthwhile goal—but damned if she hasn’t gone and done it anyway.” —Salon
“Nunez’s keen powers of observation make her a natural chronicler.” —New York Review of Books
“When the apocalypse comes, I want Nunez in my lifeboat.” —Vanity Fair
“One of the most dizzyingly accomplished of our writers.” —Gary ShteyngartSponsored by: Innovative Contemporary Fiction Reading Series and the Written Arts Program.

A Lecture by Benedetta Zavatta
Wednesday, November 13, 2019
Olin, Room 201
Benedetta Zavatta will be presenting Individuality and Beyond: Nietzsche Reads Emerson, her groundbreaking study of the influence of the American writer Ralph Waldo Emerson on the German Friedrich Nietzsche, recently published by Oxford University Press. Nietzsche read Emerson intensely from a young age and through to the end of his writing career. Referring to Emerson’s Essays, Nietzsche wrote that he had never “felt so at home in a book; felt so much, indeed, as if the home were my own.” In her study, Zavatta surveys all the evidence in Nietzsche’s published writing and in his archive—including correspondence, notes, and Nietzsche’s heavily annotated copies of Emerson—to develop a rich portrait of Nietzsche’s complex relationship to the American writer he once called his “twin soul.” Zavatta's book explores the profound influence that Emerson had on Nietzsche’s thinking about a wide range of topics, including individualism, perfectionism, morality, and freedom. It also provides a fresh reading of Emerson, who, seen from a Nietzschean perspective, comes to light as an incisive cultural critic and a decisive figure in the history of philosophy.
After the talk, poet Ann Lauterbach and philosopher Daniel Berthold will begin the discussion, responding to Benedetta Zavatta’s presentation and drawing on their own long-term engagements with Emerson and Nietzsche, respectively.
Benedetta Zavatta is Marie Curie Researcher at the Institut des Textes et Manuscrits Modernes (CNRS/ENS) in Paris. Daniel Berthold is Professor of Philosophy at Bard College. Ann Lauterbach is the David and Ruth Schwab Professor of Languages and Literature at Bard College.Sponsored by: German Studies Program; Hannah Arendt Center; Philosophy Program; Written Arts Program.

Rumor has it that dictatorship and censorship were stimulating for poetry. This event will present the poetic writings by two authors, Wolfgang Hilbig (1941–2007) and Uwe Kolbe (b. 1957), whose work began under the conditions of a closed society, whose writings contributed to this society’s opening and continued to unfold and provoke after its collapse, marked by the fall of the Berlin Wall. This public reading of both writers’ imaginative work understands itself as an invitation for a discussion on literature and politics.
Uwe Kolbe is an eminent poet, essayist, writer of prose, and translator. His first volume of poetry, Hineingeboren (“Born Into”), appeared in East Berlin in 1980. The increasingly critical nature of his writing led to a ban on publication in the GDR soon after. During the early 1980s, he edited the underground journal Mikado.

Decolonial Joy: Theorizing from the Art of Valor y Cambio
Frances Negron-Muntaner, Columbia University
Tuesday, November 5, 2019
5–7 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 AuditoriumIn 2019, scholar, writer and artist Frances Negrón-Muntaner conceived the award-winning art installation Valor y Cambio to explore what people in Puerto Rico valued and to introduce the concept of a community currency. The project exceeded all expectations by attracting thousands of participants and inspiring the creation of community currencies in Puerto Rico and the United States. In this talk, Negrón-Muntaner reflects on the origins and impact of the project, and introduces a new concept arising from it: decolonial joy. This is a specific form of joy that arises when participants envision and experience a time where neither colonialism nor coloniality rule their lives.Sponsored by: Anthropology Program; Division of Languages and Literature; Global and International Studies Program; LAIS Program; Political Studies Program.

A Screening and Discussion with Filmmaker Donna Kanter
6:00pm Reception
6:30pm Screening and Discussion
Tuesday, November 5, 2019
6:30–8 pm
Campus Center, Weis CinemaTHE PRESENCE OF THEIR ABSENCE is the amazing story of a Los Angeles man seeking his roots in the ashes of the Holocaust.
The film encourages discussion on the new oral tradition that belongs uniquely to adult children of Shoah survivors. Few of their stories have ever been told.
We follow Fred Zaidman on his journey to trace his inherited trauma. Armed with only scant clues from his late parents who had survived concentration camps in Poland and Germany, Fred ventures into the unknown to tell his story for this first time.
With helpers in Poland, at Yad Vashem in Israel, at Bergen-Belsen, Germany - and with an unlikely source – a Baptist minister in Atlanta who guides us through a cemetery in Poland - Fred finds his roots, unshackles his pain and reconstructs his future.
We feature a Death March survivor from Fred’s ancestral town, Fred’s brother Martin – one of 1000 children born in the Bergen-Belsen DP camp – and discover living relatives in Israel among findings of those who perished in Poland.
Yad Vashem has called The Presence of Their Absence “a film for the ages." We are honored to be at the forefront of this groundbreaking tradition and look forward to sharing Fred’s courageous story.Sponsored by: Institute of Advanced Theology; Jewish Studies Program; The Rhinebeck Reformed Church, and The Jewish Federation of Dutchess County.

After 30 Years—The Fall of the Berlin Wall Film Screening and Discussion
Jürgen Böttcher
Die Mauer / The Wall & short films
Monday, November 11, 2019
6–8 pm
Campus Center, Weis CinemaDiscussion with German Studies students and eminent essayist Uwe Kolbe
Jürgen Böttcher’s striking documentary Die Mauer (The Wall, 1990) is praised as the unparalleled masterpiece on the fall of the Berlin Wall. The acclaimed filmmaker and painter explores the meaning of the Wall in the historical moment of its disappearance as the dividing line between East and West. The film portrays the Berlin Wall as a monument and canvas on which German histories are being projected. Böttcher’s film Die Mauer received the Golden Camera at the Berlin Film Festival and has been shown all over the world, including at MoMA, New York. The screening will also include a selection of rarely seen short films by Jürgen Böttcher.
Uwe Kolbe is an eminent poet, essayist, writer of prose, and translator. His first volume of poetry, Hineingeboren (Born Into), appeared in East Berlin in 1980. The increasingly critical nature of his writing led to a ban on publication in the GDR soon after. During the early 1980s, he edited the underground journal Mikado. Eventually, he was permitted to travel abroad and lived between Hamburg and East Berlin. Uwe Kolbe is author of 13 books of poetry and recipient of many prestigious prizes. He also was a writer in residence at the University of Texas Austin and at Oberlin College. His collection of essays, Vineta’s Archives (2012), received the distinguished Heinrich-Mann-Award by the Academy of Arts Berlin.Sponsored by: German Studies Program.

A Reading by Sigrid Nunez
The National Book Award winner reads from her work
Monday, November 11, 2019
6:30–7:30 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 AuditoriumOn Monday, November 11, at 6:30 p.m., in the László Z. Bitó ’60 Auditorium, Reem-Kayden Center (RKC), Sigrid Nunez reads from her work. Presented by the Innovative Contemporary Fiction Reading Series and the Written Arts Program, and introduced by MacArthur Fellow Dinaw Mengestu, the reading is free and open to the public; no tickets or reservations are required. Books by Sigrid Nunez will be available for sale, courtesy of Oblong Books & Music.
Sigrid Nunez was born and raised in New York City, the daughter of a German mother and a Panamanian-Chinese father. In 1972, after graduating from Barnard College, Nunez worked as an editorial assistant for Robert B. Silvers at the New York Review of Books. She then received her MFA from Columbia University and returned to NYRB, where she met the late Susan Sontag, who became the subject of her 2011 memoir, Sempre Susan. Nunez chronicled her childhood and adolescence in her first book, a hybrid novel, A Feather on the Breath of God (1995), both a critical and commercial success. Her novel For Rouenna (2001), which tells the story of a woman’s experiences in the Vietnam War, was seen by many as her “breakthrough work.” In her fiction, Nunez has experimented with a vast range of genres and themes, marked by a spare, intimate, confessional tone. While beloved by fellow novelists, Nunez kept a deliberate distance from the literary scene, but with the 2018 publication of “The Friend,” Nunez became an “overnight literary sensation,” winning the 2018 National Book Award for Fiction and drawing euphoric reviews that hailed the novel as “a subtle, unassuming masterpiece” (New York Times).
Sigrid Nunez is the author of eight books. Her work has appeared in anthologies including four Pushcart Prize volumes, four anthologies of Asian-American literature, and The Best American Short Stories 2019. She is the recipient of a Whiting Writer’s Award, a Berlin Prize Fellowship, and two awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters: the Rosenthal Foundation Award and the Rome Prize in Literature. Her work has been translated into ten languages and is in the process of being translated into thirteen more. She lives in New York City.
PRAISE FOR SIGRID NUNEZ
“Nunez’s prose itself comforts us. Her confident and direct style uplifts—the music in her sentences, her deep and varied intelligence. She addresses important ideas unpretentiously and offers wisdom for any aspiring writer.” —New York Times Book Review
“Nunez has proved herself a master of psychological acuity.” —New Yorker
“A major talent . . . [Nunez’s] gift is wild and large.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“Nunez’s piercing intelligence and post-feminist consciousness may well feel that writing the Great American novel is no longer a feasible or worthwhile goal—but damned if she hasn’t gone and done it anyway.” —Salon
“Nunez’s keen powers of observation make her a natural chronicler.” —New York Review of Books
“When the apocalypse comes, I want Nunez in my lifeboat.” —Vanity Fair
“One of the most dizzyingly accomplished of our writers.” —Gary ShteyngartSponsored by: Innovative Contemporary Fiction Reading Series and the Written Arts Program.

Nietzsche Reads Emerson
A Lecture by Benedetta Zavatta
and a conversation with
Daniel Berthold
and
Ann Lauterbach
Wednesday, November 13, 2019
6–7:30 pm
Olin, Room 201Benedetta Zavatta will be presenting Individuality and Beyond: Nietzsche Reads Emerson, her groundbreaking study of the influence of the American writer Ralph Waldo Emerson on the German Friedrich Nietzsche, recently published by Oxford University Press. Nietzsche read Emerson intensely from a young age and through to the end of his writing career. Referring to Emerson’s Essays, Nietzsche wrote that he had never “felt so at home in a book; felt so much, indeed, as if the home were my own.” In her study, Zavatta surveys all the evidence in Nietzsche’s published writing and in his archive—including correspondence, notes, and Nietzsche’s heavily annotated copies of Emerson—to develop a rich portrait of Nietzsche’s complex relationship to the American writer he once called his “twin soul.” Zavatta's book explores the profound influence that Emerson had on Nietzsche’s thinking about a wide range of topics, including individualism, perfectionism, morality, and freedom. It also provides a fresh reading of Emerson, who, seen from a Nietzschean perspective, comes to light as an incisive cultural critic and a decisive figure in the history of philosophy.
After the talk, poet Ann Lauterbach and philosopher Daniel Berthold will begin the discussion, responding to Benedetta Zavatta’s presentation and drawing on their own long-term engagements with Emerson and Nietzsche, respectively.
Benedetta Zavatta is Marie Curie Researcher at the Institut des Textes et Manuscrits Modernes (CNRS/ENS) in Paris. Daniel Berthold is Professor of Philosophy at Bard College. Ann Lauterbach is the David and Ruth Schwab Professor of Languages and Literature at Bard College.Sponsored by: German Studies Program; Hannah Arendt Center; Philosophy Program; Written Arts Program.

On the Politics of Our Times: A Poetic Dialog with Wolfgang Hilbig, presented by Uwe Kolbe
Tuesday, November 19, 2019
6–7:30 pm
Olin, Room 204Rumor has it that dictatorship and censorship were stimulating for poetry. This event will present the poetic writings by two authors, Wolfgang Hilbig (1941–2007) and Uwe Kolbe (b. 1957), whose work began under the conditions of a closed society, whose writings contributed to this society’s opening and continued to unfold and provoke after its collapse, marked by the fall of the Berlin Wall. This public reading of both writers’ imaginative work understands itself as an invitation for a discussion on literature and politics.
Uwe Kolbe is an eminent poet, essayist, writer of prose, and translator. His first volume of poetry, Hineingeboren (“Born Into”), appeared in East Berlin in 1980. The increasingly critical nature of his writing led to a ban on publication in the GDR soon after. During the early 1980s, he edited the underground journal Mikado. Eventually, he was permitted to travel abroad and lived between Hamburg and East Berlin. Kolbe is the author of 13 books of poetry and the recipient of many prestigious prizes. He also was a writer in residence at the University of Texas at Austin and at Oberlin College. His collection of essays, Vineta’s Archives (2012), received the distinguished Heinrich-Mann-Award from the Academy of Arts Berlin.
