Meaning encompasses truth and belief and indeed, meaning moves people. This module initiates a discussion among participants on what makes sentences and discourse meaningful, which will include a discussion on authorship, authorization and authority. This discussion is predicated on familiarity with a reading list that draws on philosophy and its appropriations by theorists working across numerous disciplines. According to some theories of meaning, meaning is immanent or inherent in well-constructed linguistic propositions or sentences. And yet some people find well-constructed sentences incomprehensible, while others find not only evident but obvious meaning in disarticulated expressions that seem to give voice more to inner confusion than represent rational thinking. Additionally, often meaning is evident at the level of syntax and grammar while being elusive with respect to the referential world, even though the discourse purports to index such a world. This discussion will focus on the role of authority in authorizing meaning, rather than on the unique role of language as such, and explore the notion of authorship as authority. What is the nature of meaning? Is meaning immanent, inherent, what? What is the relationship between authority and meaning? Is the authority of authorship a factor? Is it open to all? What is the relationship between authorities and authorization of meaning? Who are the authorities today? What does meaning do?

June 22, Topic No. 2 Disruptive Narratives in East- and Central-Europe: the pre-1989 Era Tuesday, and the Transition Period 2021 Faculty members Bozóki, Merljak Zdovc, Ousmanova, Túry Number of hours 4 + 1 (+ optional extracurricular activity [film screening]) Teaching Mode Lecture, presentations (with visuals), group discussions, close reading and text analysis, individual and small group work (4 hrs), roundtable (1 hr). Discussion Points State-sponsored propaganda, censorship, lack of oppositional political parties, infringed human rights, block of information, ban on travel, surveillance: some of the harsh realities for hundreds of millions in the communist countries. How was it possible to a) represent reality and ii) eventually fight the system? How did oppositional, fact-based narratives contribute to the dismantling of the communist system? In these classes we will discuss the above points, concentrating on the Soviet Union, Hungary, Poland, and the former Yugoslavia (esp. Slovenia). In particular, we will look at texts (fact-based narratives) that, despite the overall presence of censorship, managed to faithfully represent reality, opening the eyes of a growing number of people in those countries. As Polish author Krzysztof Kakolewski remarks, in fact-based narratives fabula is discovered, not invented (in clear contrast with fictional narratives). That discovery and the narrative presentation of the facts based on them will be shown to have meaningfully contributed to resisting the oppressive system of communism, leading up to the annus mirabilis of 1989 and, more broadly, the so-called transition years. The topics above will be dealt with via reading and close analysis of primary texts from the era. Secondary literature, shorter lectures and multimedia presentations by faculty will help participants better understand the historical, political, and cultural contexts. 3 Primary texts to be discussed in class will include writings by: ◼ Ales Adamovich ◼ Svetlana Alexievich ◼ Ryszard Kapuscinski ◼ Hanna Krall ◼ Zeljko Kozinc The one hour roundtable presentation and discussion will be an integral element of the topic. Faculty member and CEU Professor András Bozóki will be in conversation with guest speaker András Vágvölgyi (both Pulitzer Prize-winning founding editors of the legendary transition-era Hungarian journal Magyar Narancs), moderated by course director György Túry. The optional program will be a film screening with an introduction and discussion by faculty member Almira Ousmanova (Come and See, 1985, written by Klimov and Adamovich). June 22, Topic No. 3 Practice in Focus: Disruptive Narratives Around the Globe I. Tuesday, 2021 Faculty members Buruma, Merljak Zdovc, Martínez, Turati Number of hours 2 Teaching Mode Lecture, presentation, Q&A Discussion Points In this class, one of the living leading practitioners of the genre, Ian Buruma, and our guest speakers (including women and authors from the Global South) will talk about their initiation into the genre of fact- based narratives, the major influences on them and the first phases of their careers. Participants will learn more about the global historical and political contexts in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s in which some of them found their own inimitable voices. They will also talk about the publishing industry of fact-based narratives, this time, once again, concentrating on the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s (the pre-Internet age). Readings: Selection of relevant works by faculty members June 23, Topic No. 4 Disruptive Narratives in East- and Central-Europe: the post-1989 Wednesday, Era and the Present 2021 Faculty members Bozóki, Merljak Zdovc, Ousmanova, Túry, Number of hours 4 + 1 + 1 Teaching Mode Lecture, presentations (with visuals), group discussions, close reading and text analysis, individual and small group work (4 hrs), guest speakers (1 + 1 hr). 4 Discussion Points In the global, English language academic scholarship the post- 1989 era is an undiscovered gold mine in terms of East- and Central-European fact-based narratives. We will look at ways in which the post-communist experience was reflected, once again concentrating on the (dissolving) Soviet Union, Poland, Hungary and Slovenia. Shorter lectures and presentations of faculty members will help participants better see the contours of the fast-changing environment of the post-communist (and illiberal) world. We will take advantage, for example, of the deep familiarity of faculty member Almira Ousmanova with the oeuvre of Nobel prize winner Belarusian author Svetlana Alexievich. In the 1990s the Balkan wars were covered by many local authors, for example Slovenian, but also by Hungarian ones (a memorable field trip of Hungarian authors included, as crew member, iconic counter-cultural hero Allen Ginsberg). Getting closer to the present, course director György Túry will present the work of two exceptionally gifted younger writers from Hungary and Poland: Sándor Jászberényi (H) and Witold Szablowski (PL) (both born in 1980). András Bozóki will explore how fact-based narratives might still challenge the illiberal aspects of national, regional and global narratives about the current pandemic that will shape our lives in the years to come, especially in the East- and Central- European region. These disruptive narratives might be the only counterweight against unprecedented scenarios emerging in the post-pandemic times such as ”big data authoritarianism,” ”health terror,” and new forms of ”bio-power.” Primary texts to be discussed in class will include writings by: ◼ Svetlana Alexievich ◼ Jacek Hugo-Bader ◼ Sándor Jászberényi ◼ Noémi Kiss ◼ Zeljko Kozinc ◼ Witold Szablowski An integral part of this bloc are the two guest presentations by above-mentioned authors Sándor Jászberényi (H) and Witold Szablowski (PL), moderated by György Túry.

    Department of Special Collections Cunningham Memorial Library Indiana State University BOOKS FROM THE LOWNEY TURNER HANDY LIBRARY AT THE COLONY List Prepared & Edited by David Vancil June 8, 2001 / Rev. July 30, 2001 / April 26, 2002 Lowney Turner Handy, writing teacher of James Jones and others, maintained a writing school in southern Illinois. Her teaching approach included the use of various works from her library which students had to read and copy by hand or by using a typewriter in the process of becoming familiar with accomplished writing styles. Most of the books listed below are fiction and poetry, although an occasional title in a different realm is also included. Many of the books are annotated by Handy with comments, sometimes on the pastedown, sometimes in the body of the work.. A few items, notably his own works, were gifts from James Jones. Also included in the collection are published works of other successful students, e.g., Jere Peacock., Tom Chamales, and Edwin Daly. These books were about to be discarded when Elizabeth Bevington, an antiquarian bookseller and member of the Friends of the Cunningham Memorial Library, retrieved them and donated them to the library as the Lowney Turner Handy Library Collection to be housed within the Rare Books Collection.

Mack Horton Professor Daniel C. O’Neill Professor Anne-Lise François Summer 2018 © 2018 Matthew Stanhope Mewhinney All Rights Reserved Abstract The Lyric Forms of the Literati Mind: Yosa Buson, Ema Saikō, Masaoka Shiki and Natsume Sōseki by Matthew Stanhope Mewhinney Doctor of Philosophy in Japanese Language University of California, Berkeley Professor Alan Tansman, Chair This dissertation examines the transformation of lyric thinking in Japanese literati (bunjin) culture from the eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. I examine four poet- painters associated with the Japanese literati tradition in the Edo (1603-1867) and Meiji (1867- 1912) periods: Yosa Buson (1716-83), Ema Saikō (1787-1861), Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902) and Natsume Sōseki (1867-1916). Each artist fashions a lyric subjectivity constituted by the kinds of blending found in literati painting and poetry. I argue that each artist’s thoughts and feelings emerge in the tensions generated in the process of blending forms, genres, and the ideas (aesthetic, philosophical, social, cultural, and historical) that they carry with them.

  • Living in Two Places : Permanent Transiency In
    living in two places: permanent transiency in the magadan region Elena Khlinovskaya Rockhill Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, Lensfield Road, Cambridge CB2 1ER, UK; [email protected] abstract Some individuals in the Kolyma region of Northeast Russia describe their way of life as “permanently temporary.” This mode of living involves constant movements and the work of imagination while liv- ing between two places, the “island” of Kolyma and the materik, or mainland. In the Soviet era people maintained connections to the materik through visits, correspondence and telephone conversations. Today, living in the Kolyma means living in some distant future, constantly keeping the materik in mind, without fully inhabiting the Kolyma. People’s lives embody various mythologies that have been at work throughout Soviet Kolyma history. Some of these models are being transformed, while oth- ers persist. Underlying the opportunities afforded by high mobility, both government practices and individual plans reveal an ideal of permanency and rootedness.
