In this talk based on her forthcoming book Chelsea Szendi Schieder will explore the meanings created by female participation in leftist campus-based protest in the 1960s, as young men and women attended universities together, battled police in the streets together, challenged political institutions, and paralyzed the higher education system. Young women involved in the student movement often imagined that it would offer them a rare chance to engage in activism away from gendered expectations and spaces, such as the home, and to participate as full equals with young men. And yet various dynamics—within the movement and in the interpretation of the movement within the mass media—often foreclosed such an imagination. Here she will explore the tensions within this history and in the historiography that often memorializes the New Left as primarily “male” to uncover gendered dynamics in the Japanese New Left, dynamics that help us understand postwar Japanese politics more generally and the legacies of radical protest in particular.
Chelsea Szendi Schieder, PhD, researches contemporary histories of activism and gender in Japan and works as an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Economics at Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo, Japan.

Online Event
Modernist studies has been transformed in recent years by the claim that modernism is a global phenomenon. Alongside work linking British, Irish, North American, and European modernists to the rest of the world, we have seen controversial claims for modernism’s flourishing in non-Western locations, from Japan to Africa, from Turkey to the Caucasus, and from South-East Asia to Latin America. This uncoupling of modernism from a strictly Western teleology remains under-theorised, and under-sourced. How do we study modernism on a global scale? What implications for modernist scholarship does this disciplinary transformation bring, especially in relation to collaborative work? And what new ways of seeing and understanding modernism arise from adopting a global perspective?
This roundtable showcases the methods and findings of Global Modernists on Modernism (Bloomsbury, 2020), a new anthology of source texts for global modernism. The book gathers texts by practitioners (writers, artists, critics, etc.) that reflect on the theory and practice of modernism around the world. In addition to celebrating (belatedly!) the publication of this volume last January, we will be discussing the collaborative nature of global modernist research and our “inductive” method of assembling and theorizing the anthology’s texts.
The roundtable brings together five editors of the anthology: experts in Russian and Georgian modernism (Harsha Ram), Turkish modernism (Kaitlin Staudt), and Latin American modernism (Camilla Sutherland) with the volume’s general editors, who will speak to modernism in sub-Saharan Africa (Alys Moody), and the Ashkenazi Jewish diaspora (Stephen Ross). We will discuss how global modernism troubles existing assumptions of modernist studies, and what the project of translating, editing, and circulating primary sources can contribute to this conversation. Following short position statements by each speaker, the roundtable will focus on discussion among presenters and with audience members.
This conversation, held under the shared auspices of the Literature Program at Bard College and Concordia University’s Centre for Expanded Poetics, is the first of a three-part series exploring global modernism, in celebration of the anthology. It will be followed by a discussion with poet-translators associated with the anthology on Thursday, 12 November, 6-7:30pm EST; and a workshop on pedagogy and global modernism on Friday, 4 December, 1:30-4:30pm EST.
To receive the Zoom invitation for this event, please email amoody@bard.edu. Invitations will be sent out on the morning of the event.

Yazan Khalili will talk about “the total work of the cultural institution,” a concept developed during his time at Khalil Sakakini Cultural Centre, asking how we can practice critique through the structures of the cultural production. He will also discuss Radio Alhara, the online communal radio that was established in Palestine at the beginning of the lockdown, and functions as an open platform for sharing sound in all its formats. He will think with us about communal media and collective practices, how to establish cultural structures, and infiltrate others.
Yazan Khalili lives and works in and out of Palestine. He is an architect, artist, and cultural producer. His works have been exhibited in several major exhibitions, including KW (Berlin, 2020), MoCA (Toronto, 2020), New Photography (MoMA, 2018), and Shanghai Biennial (2016). Khalili was the director of Khalil Sakakini Cultural Centre between 2015 and 2019. He is one of the founders of Radio Alhara, Palestine. Currently, he is the cochair of the photography division of the MFA program at Bard College, a PhD candidate at Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis, University of Amsterdam, and a guest researcher at the Rijksakademie.

I Will Give Thee the Opening of the Mouth
A Streaming Lecture-Workshop with Victoria Hanna
Wednesday, October 7, 2020
2–3:15 pm
Online EventThe Jerusalem-based, international voice artist Victoria Hanna will discuss the physical and sensual explorations that she has been pursuing in her art. This is a living exploration, anchored in the human voice, its location in the body, and its relation to speech. Building on ancient Kabbalistic traditions that see language, the voice, and the mouth as tools of creating worlds, Victoria will reveal the Hebrew alphabet as an instrument for playing with the mouth. By thinking with foundational Kabbalistic texts, such as the Book of Creation (Sefer Yetzirah) and the writings of Abraham Abulafia, we will come to understand how the letters have been, and can be, used for daily work with speech and the body.

The Future of the Book, and of Libraries
A Two-Session Cyber Workshop with Paloma Celis Carbajal, Curator for Latin American, Iberian, and U.S. Latino Collections, New York Public Library (Session 1)
Tuesday, October 20, 2020
12:30–1:30 pm
Online EventSome five years ago, the New York Times reported that the book in print was far from dead, a plot twist to the numerous predictions that the 21st century would turn books into bytes only. However, the current pandemic could bring about another plot change given that most aspects of our lives have moved to the digital realm. We are all aware that the virtual plane is not equally accessible throughout the world. How are the current trends defining book production worldwide, but more specifically, in Latin America? How does its past and present inform us as to where it's heading? What is the role that libraries play, especially if these institutions have, as one of their goals, to document and preserve the intellectual production of our cultures? In these two sessions we will try to explore these questions together. Open to the wide Bard community.

Editing Global Modernism: A Roundtable
with Alys Moody, Harsha Ram, Stephen J. Ross,
Kaitlin Staudt, and Camilla Sutherland
Friday, October 23, 2020
1:30–3 pm
Online EventModernist studies has been transformed in recent years by the claim that modernism is a global phenomenon. Alongside work linking British, Irish, North American, and European modernists to the rest of the world, we have seen controversial claims for modernism’s flourishing in non-Western locations, from Japan to Africa, from Turkey to the Caucasus, and from South-East Asia to Latin America. This uncoupling of modernism from a strictly Western teleology remains under-theorised, and under-sourced. How do we study modernism on a global scale? What implications for modernist scholarship does this disciplinary transformation bring, especially in relation to collaborative work? And what new ways of seeing and understanding modernism arise from adopting a global perspective?
This roundtable showcases the methods and findings of Global Modernists on Modernism (Bloomsbury, 2020), a new anthology of source texts for global modernism. The book gathers texts by practitioners (writers, artists, critics, etc.) that reflect on the theory and practice of modernism around the world. In addition to celebrating (belatedly!) the publication of this volume last January, we will be discussing the collaborative nature of global modernist research and our “inductive” method of assembling and theorizing the anthology’s texts.
The roundtable brings together five editors of the anthology: experts in Russian and Georgian modernism (Harsha Ram), Turkish modernism (Kaitlin Staudt), and Latin American modernism (Camilla Sutherland) with the volume’s general editors, who will speak to modernism in sub-Saharan Africa (Alys Moody), and the Ashkenazi Jewish diaspora (Stephen Ross). We will discuss how global modernism troubles existing assumptions of modernist studies, and what the project of translating, editing, and circulating primary sources can contribute to this conversation. Following short position statements by each speaker, the roundtable will focus on discussion among presenters and with audience members.
This conversation, held under the shared auspices of the Literature Program at Bard College and Concordia University’s Centre for Expanded Poetics, is the first of a three-part series exploring global modernism, in celebration of the anthology. It will be followed by a discussion with poet-translators associated with the anthology on Thursday, 12 November, 6-7:30pm EST; and a workshop on pedagogy and global modernism on Friday, 4 December, 1:30-4:30pm EST.
To receive the Zoom invitation for this event, please email amoody@bard.edu. Invitations will be sent out on the morning of the event.

Yazan Khalili will talk about “the total work of the cultural institution,” a concept developed during his time at Khalil Sakakini Cultural Centre, asking how we can practice critique through the structures of the cultural production. He will also discuss Radio Alhara, the online communal radio that was established in Palestine at the beginning of the lockdown, and functions as an open platform for sharing sound in all its formats. He will think with us about communal media and collective practices, how to establish cultural structures, and infiltrate others.
Yazan Khalili lives and works in and out of Palestine. He is an architect, artist, and cultural producer. His works have been exhibited in several major exhibitions, including KW (Berlin, 2020), MoCA (Toronto, 2020), New Photography (MoMA, 2018), and Shanghai Biennial (2016). Khalili was the director of Khalil Sakakini Cultural Centre between 2015 and 2019. He is one of the founders of Radio Alhara, Palestine. Currently, he is the cochair of the photography division of the MFA program at Bard College, a PhD candidate at Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis, University of Amsterdam, and a guest researcher at the Rijksakademie.
