Conference | The Ecologies of Education: Interrogating Environment, Society, and Subjectivity
In his seminal book, Félix Guattari argues that one could not tackle industrial pollution or other environmental concerns without situating the problem of ecology at the center of three registers—the environment, social relations, and human subjectivity. Under closer examination, ecology may be seen as the return to oikos—our home, our habitat, our planet—that calls for a practice of respect and care in all three aforementioned meanings. In fact, it is quite significant that Isabelle Stengers sees the idea of ecology as the matter or practice—i.e., the ecology of practice—which, along the lines of Gilles Deleuze, may be called the ‘thinking par le milieu’—an attempt that refers to the double meaning of milieu, both the ‘middle’ and ‘the surroundings’ or ‘habitat.’ According to Stengers, “‘Through the middle’ would mean without grounding definitions or an ideal horizon. ‘With the surroundings’ would mean that no theory gives you the power to disentangle something from its particular surroundings, that is, to go beyond the particular towards something we would be able to recognize and grasp in spite of particular appearances.” This event expresses concern with the ideas of education that operate on the triple meaning of ecology. What are the new ways for us to learn from, through, and within the environment? What can a more diligent and observing interaction with milieus teach us? What are the novel forms of subjectivity that emerge in this process? In what sense does the environment appear as a challenge for justice? How can the ecologies of education address the problem of the redistribution of social and economic power? What is the role of art in this project of education? What future can be brought by this reconsideration of teaching and learning?

Discussion | From "Plots and Twists" to a Co-Translation of Ovid’s Metamorphoses
In the Fall of 2020, at Princeton University, classicist Yelena Baraz and writer Jhumpa Lahiri team-taught a seminar entitled "Ancient Plots, Modern Twists,” which examined how ancient Greek and Roman plots were appropriated, reused, and reimagined by modern and contemporary writers. The course was divided into four thematic clusters: Abandonment, Monster, Plague, and Metamorphosis. Selections from Ovid’s Metamorphoses served as a point of reference for each of these clusters. The collaboration between Baraz and Lahiri led to their embarking, in 2021, on a co-translation of Ovid’s Metamorphoses in English for the Modern Library. In this presentation, Jhumpa Lahiri will discuss the genesis, creative process, and challenges of “modernizing” Ovid’s Latin text for a new generation of English readers, revisiting themes of abandonment, monstrosity, plague and metamorphosis to frame the presentation.

Lecture | “Those Who Feed”: Interspecies Futurities in Indigenous Siberia
Is caring for domestic animals compatible with eating them? Based on nearly two years of ethnographic fieldwork in Siberia’s Altai Republic, this talk examines the tangled relations of care and violence between Indigenous Altai pastoralists and the livestock on whom their way of life depends. Parsing the Altai expression mal-ash azyraar, or literally, “to feed livestock,” Dr. Adkins argues that “feeding” animals in Altai society cannot be understood as a simple concrete act, nor as an abstract mode of relation. Instead, feeding—and implicitly eating—animals is a situation of temporal entanglement or co-futurity: to feed animals is to share a future with them, exposing the feeder to all of the potential benefits and ills that this future may bring. Speaker Tyler Adkins is a Mellon Teaching Fellow at the Harriman Institute.

Lecture | Dirty Literature: Towards an Ecopoetics of Russian Soil (in-person and online)
In this talk, Mieka Erley will present selected episodes from her recent book, On Russian Soil: Myth and Materiality. As a whole, the book takes an ecocritical approach to the place of soil in Russian and Soviet culture, considering key moments in the evolving mythology of soil across a century of modernization, colonization, and ecological change. This talk will focus on literary depictions of soil in literature, from 19th-century naturalism to mid-20th-century Virgin Lands literature. Within this tradition of “dirty literature,” Erley will excavate the meaning of three symbolic keywords: native soil (pochva), dirt (griaz’), and virgin land (tselina). Examining these keywords reveals how soil, in its many forms, served to focus larger debates about the hygienic boundaries between art and life, between culture and nature, and between classes and nations. At the conclusion of the talk, Erley will reflect on how attention to materiality can reinvigorate our understandings of literature and culture. Mieka Erley is Associate Professor of Russian and Eurasian Studies at Colgate University.

Lecture | Protagoras and the Art of Argument
Diogenes Laertius tells us that the sophist Protagoras invented what became the art of philosophical argument. In particular, he was the first to use 'the Socratic form of argument’ — i.e. the elenchus, which quickly evolved into Platonic and Aristotelian dialectic. This talk argues that we have good evidence that this is true. Plato’s Protagoras shows him deploying what was plausibly the original form of the elenchus, and that this was characteristic of Protagoras is confirmed by some strange bits of other evidence. The original Protagorean form of dialectic was not just a ’sophistic’ exercise in refutation for its own sake but a vehicle for serious ethical and political inquiry, structured by the examination of literary texts. Socrates’/Plato's only innovation was to throw the text away. Speaker: Rachel Barney, University of Toronto

Lecture | To Return or to Forgive? Runaway Peasants and the Imperial State, 1725-1801
Traditional scholarly wisdom suggests that the eighteenth century was a period marked by worsening socioeconomic conditions and legal status of the Russian peasantry. The proliferation of taxes and obligations exerted substantial pressure on the economic sustainability of peasant households. Noble landlords and village societies gained the authority to exile unruly or unwanted rural inhabitants for hard labor or to Siberia. At the same time, the imperial state gradually became more adept at controlling its population by introducing and refining different means of social control. Within this narrative, the phenomenon of peasant flight is portrayed as a simplistic binary of domination versus resistance. This talk introduces essential nuances to this narrative through a comprehensive analysis of the dialectical relationship between state laws and the responses they elicited from peasants, and situating these dynamics within the broader official discourse on peasant flight. It underscores the development and coexistence of two distinct approaches by the government toward peasants in the eighteenth century. While compelling the return of runaways within the country, it simultaneously offered significant incentives to Russian subjects who fled abroad, particularly to Poland-Lithuania. Ultimately, this study offers insights into how the imperial state worked in practice and how its policies benefited specific groups of peasants while exacerbating the conditions of others. Speaker Andrey Gornostaev is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of History at the University of Toronto.

Opening Reception | Frank Auerbach: Frank & Julia
The gallery’s second exhibition with the esteemed British painter Frank Auerbach. Celebrated for his distinctive painterly lexicon, which is characterized by passionate brushwork and tactile impasto, in this exhibition Auerbach delivers evocative compositions imbued with soul and presence. The paintings and works on paper on view in Frank & Julia offer a singular vantage point from which to explore Auerbach's creative spirit, inviting contemplation into his motivations and artistic methodologies. From the time of their university days when they met at the Royal College of Art in London in the 1950s, Julia was one of the artist’s first sitters. Conversely, only sporadic self-portraits exist from Auerbach’s early career, and it is within the last few years that he has consistently engaged with his own visage as a recurring motif. Notably, all the works featured in this exhibition come from the past decade, with the earliest portrait of Julia made in 2012, and all of the self-portraits finished within the last year.

For the United States this view is often supported by appeal to the experience of the Second World War, understood as a triumph of both production and productivity. Author Alexander Field shows that between 1941 and 1945 manufacturing productivity actually declined, depressed by changes in the output mix and resource shocks from enemy action, including curtailed access to natural rubber and, on the Eastern Seaboard, petroleum. The war forced a shift away from producing goods in which the country had a great deal of experience toward those in which it had little.

Lecture | Decolonial Geo-Imaginaries: Politics in Zimbabwe
In conceptualizing colonial dispossession as a transnational political economic structure as opposed to event or bounded temporality, this lecture will engage the politics of post-independence extraction in Zimbabwe. Grappling with enduring North-South coloniality, Samudzi considers the relationship between attempted land reform, the subsequent economic strictures of imposed sanctions — codified in human rights discourses as “unilateral coercive measures” — and the paradoxical productions of local modes of sovereignty. Against the carcerality of land enclosure, the coterminity of the [ongoing] Scramble for Africa and the Great Acceleration, Samudzi will gesture towards a narrativization of the anthropocene: of de/reterritorialization and forced movement, ecological catastrophe, pandemic disruption, political corruption, and a geo-imaginary of land/The Land that endeavors towards liberation. Speaker Zoé Samudzi is the Charles E. Scheidt Visiting Assistant Professor of Genocide and Genocide Prevention at the Strassler Center at Clark University.

Concert | Piano and Visuals
Jiayin Shen, piano; and Eric Dyer, visuals perform live phenakistiscope (one of the first forms of moving media entertainment) accompanied by solo piano performances by composers such as Scott Joplin, Aphex Twin, John Adams, Steve Reich, Horacio Lavandera, Wendy Carlos, and Nils Frahm. Dyer uses modern technology to reinvent the phenakistiscope as a medium for live performance and improvisation. Paired with Shen’s piano performance of music, Duo Kinetica explores themes including non-violence, motion hidden in everyday life, the city symphony, pre-cinema history, the male gaze, industrial heydays, and our relationship with technology.
