SUMMARY:Moscow Conceptualism: New Translations from the Russian
DESCRIPTION:Official Site:\nhttp://slavic.berkeley.edu/moscow-conceptualism-new-translations-from-the-russian/ \nA spate of new translations is bringing the writers and artists of Moscow Conceptualism to an English-language readership for the first time. Even as they drew on currents in western art\, the Moscow Conceptualists (1970s-1980s) were distinguished by a singular focus on the Soviet experience\, from the legacies of the avant-garde to the official culture of the Era of Stagnation. Serving as an ironic commentary on the entire arc of Soviet history\, Moscow Conceptualism continues to exert a powerful influence on performance art in Putin’s Russia. \nSchedule is as follows: \n1.30 p.m.\nWelcome: Prof. Harsha Ram\, Slavic Languages and Literatures \n1.45-3.00 p.m.\nThe Poets and their Verse\nModerated by Matvei Yankelevich\, editor of the Eastern European Poets Series at Ugly Duckling Presse\nAinsley Morse and Bela Shayevich read Vsevolod Nekrasov\nYelena Kalinsky and Brian Droitcour read Andrei Monastyrski\nSimon Schuchat reads Dmitrii Prigov\nMatvei Yankelevich reads Lev Rubinstein \n3.15 p.m.\nMonastyrski and Prigov\nModerated by Prof. Edward Tyerman\, Slavic Languages and Literatures\nChristina Schwarz\, Slavic Languages and Literatures\n“Remontnye Raboty: Anamnesis in the life- writings of Andrei Monastyrski” \n3.40 p.m.\nProf. Olga Matich\, Slavic Languages and Literatures\n“Conceptualist Total Art Prigov” \n4.30-5.30 p.m.\nRoundtable Discussion\nModerated by Prof. Alexei Yurchak\, Anthropology \n5.30 p.m.\nProf. Lyn Hejinian\, English\n“The Eros of Russian-American Poetic Exchange” \nAll will take place in the Geballe Room at the Townsend Center for the Humanities\, 220 Stephens Hall.

SUMMARY:KSW Presents "A History of Our Naming"
DESCRIPTION:Kearny Street Workshop’s bi-monthly reading series celebrates new poetry releases by Michelle Peñaloza and Đỗ Nguyên Mai.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nOn Friday\, November 22nd\, KSW Presents “A History of Our Naming” featuring poets Michelle Peñaloza\, author of Former Possessions of the Spanish Empire\, and Đỗ Nguyên Mai\, author of Battlefield Blooming. This reading is a celebration of their new collections of poetry. Their poems ask us to look at—and not away—from the histories\, hauntings\, and presences of colonialism\, conquest\, and imperialism. These poets find power in the work of gathering fragments and fractures\, and in what emerges from this naming for their families\, for their communities\, and for themselves. \nThe title of this event is inspired by a line from Michelle Peñaloza’s titular poem “Former Possessions of the Spanish Empire.” \n+++ \nCALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: We are opening up submissions for writers to be a part of this reading.
