  • COMPARATIVE LITERATURE (Div
    COMPARATIVE LITERATURE (Div. I) Chair, Associate Professor CHRISTOPHER NUGENT Professors: BELL-VILLADA, CASSIDAY, DRUXES, S. FOX, FRENCH, KAGAYA**, NEWMAN***, ROUHI, VAN DE STADT. Associate Professors: C. BOLTON***, DEKEL, S. FOX, HOLZAPFEL, MARTIN, NUGENT, PIEPRZAK***, THORNE, WANG**. Assistant Professors: BRAGGS*, VARGAS. Visiting Assistant Professor: EQEIQ. Students motivated by a desire to study literary art in the broadest sense of the term will find an intellectual home in the Program in Comparative Literature. The Program in Comparative Literature gives students the opportunity to develop their critical faculties through the analysis of literature across cultures, and through the exploration of literary and critical theory. By crossing national, linguistic, historical, and disciplinary boundaries, students of Comparative Literature learn to read texts for the ways they make meaning, the assumptions that underlie that meaning, and the aesthetic elements evinced in the making. Students of Comparative Literature are encouraged to examine the widest possible range of literary communication, including the metamorphosis of media, genres, forms, and themes. Whereas specific literature programs allow the student to trace the development of one literature in a particular culture over a period of time, Comparative Literature juxtaposes the writings of different cultures and epochs in a variety of ways. Because interpretive methods from other disciplines play a crucial role in investigating literature’s larger context, the Program offers courses intended for students in all divisions of the college and of all interests. These include courses that introduce students to the comparative study of world literature and courses designed to enhance any foreign language major in the Williams curriculum. In addition, the Program offers courses in literary theory that illuminate the study of texts of all sorts.

    ARAB INTELLECTUALS SERIES LUNCHTIME EVENT Introduction: Terje Rød-Larsen, President, International Peace Institute Moderator: Ambassador Abdullah M. Alsaidi, Senior Fellow, International Peace Institute Speakers: Hisham Matar, Libyan novelist Ali Al-Muqri, Yemeni novelist September 15, 2011 International Peace Institute 777 United Nations Plaza Transcript edited by IPI T RANSCRIPTION Terje Rød-Larsen: A warm welcome to the International Peace Institute, and to this first lunchtime event in our new Arab Intellectuals Series. The purpose of this new series is to offer a platform for Arab writers and intellectuals, and we have two of them— actually three, I would say—with us here this afternoon. We will ask them to share their own interpretations, their views and analysis on the dramatic changes which are unfolding in the Arab world in this current period of transition, and most importantly, to discuss the way ahead. Indeed, we've heard lately many interpretations and many explanations of the root causes of the Arab Spring. Every day when we open the newspapers, switch on the television or the radio, a new piece of analysis seems to appear. Our new series aims to offer an opportunity for the diplomatic community here in New York to hear unfiltered and fresh perspectives on the events of the Arab uprising from people who have witnessed it first-hand. Therefore I'm very happy to welcome our two speakers today, Hisham Matar from Libya on my right-hand side here, and Ali Al-Muqri from Yemen on the extreme right there, not politically-speaking. For those of you who didn't see it, Hisham Matar was featured very prominently in Sunday's New York Times book review.

  • Phillippine Noir
    Change of Focus—12 may adadol ingawanij PHILIPPINE NOIR The Cinema of Lav Diaz he filipino director Lav Diaz has created a monumental body of work over the past two decades: some sixteen feature films—interspersed with as many miscellaneous shorts, documentaries and film-essays—shot almost entirely in black Tand white, with running times generally somewhere between four and ten hours. Produced on a largely artisanal scale throughout the archi- pelago of the Philippines, at one level they represent the everyday troubles and resilience of the Filipino people, the present-day plight of the country and the burden of its past. Although he is a well-known figure there, Diaz’s films have been screened only sporadically in the Philippines itself, the product not only of political constraints—a num- ber have been banned—but also of working beyond the bounds of an entrenched national film industry. Internationally, Diaz’s reputation has grown since Norte, the End of History (2013)—a 4-hour, freewheeling adaptation of Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment set in the contempo- rary Philippines—appeared at Cannes, with prizes and acclaim garnered at Locarno, Berlin and Venice. His oeuvre, though, remains little under- stood. On the global circuit, he is regularly acclaimed as a master of ‘slow cinema’. In interviews, Diaz rarely fails to correct the record: ‘it’s not slow cinema; it’s cinema.’1 First coined by the French critic Michel Ciment who identified an emerg- ing ‘cinema of slowness’ in a talk at the 2003 San Francisco International Film Festival, ‘slow cinema’ has been consolidated in Anglophone film writing as a designation for a range of austere, minimalist films typified by use of the long take.2 Directors who have been classified as practi- tioners alongside Diaz include Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Jia Zhangke, Pedro new left review 130 july aug 2021 53 54 nlr 130 Costa and Tsai Ming-Liang, while the category has also been applied retrospectively, with Ozu, Bresson, Tarkovsky and others enlisted into a genealogy of slowness.
