His award-winning first book\, Hydraulic City: Water and the Infrastructures of Politics in Mumbai (Duke University Press 2017)\, examines the everyday ways in which cities and citizens are made through the everyday management of water infrastructure. His new book project\, Urban Seas\, is supported by grants from the National Science Foundation\, the Wenner-GrenDr Foundation\, and the Penn Global Inquiries Fellowship. Based on field research with fishers\, scientists and planners as they work in the sea\, the book decenters the grounds of urban planning by drawing attention to the ways in which climate-changed seas are remaking coastal cities today.  \nDr. Anand is also Co-PI for two collaborative research initiatives\, Rising Waters and Inhabited Sea. Together with Bethany Wiggin (Penn Program in Environmental Humanities\, co-PI)\, and Lalitha Kamath and Pranjal Deekshit (Tata Institute of Social Sciences)\, Rising Waters explores how climate change and urban redevelopment are recapitulating classed and raced vulnerabilities of marginalized residents in Philadelphia and Mumbai. Inhabited Sea (with Anuradha Mathur\, Co-PI) is a transdisciplinary research collaboration with architects\, artists\, citizen-scientists\, oceanographers\, social scientists\, and urban planners working in Mumbai.  \nNikhil Anand received his PhD in Anthropology from Stanford University in 2011\, and a Masters in Environmental Science from Yale University in 2004. He has been a Member of the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton\, a Quadrant Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study at the University of Minnesota\, and a Mellon Fellow at the Stanford Humanities Center. \nPlease register in advance for this webinar.

The reading for the first meeting\, Susan Buck-Morss’ “Democracy: An Unfinished Project”\, has been distributed via the graduate student listserv. New and returning members are welcome to join the group for what is sure to be an engaging semester of thinking and discussion. Contact Colleen Kropp for more information.\n“Democracy: An Unfinished Project” abstract: \nThis essay criticizes Ahmet Davutoğlu’s proposal that Islamic civilization complete the “unfinished project of modernity” (Jürgen Habermas)\, by challenging the concept of civilization itself. As scholars in multiple disciplines have demonstrated\, civilizations are hybrid constructions that cannot be contained within a uniform conceptual frame\, such as Islamic “authenticity.” The past is shared\, and the present is as well. The Arab Spring demonstrates that modernity confronts political actors with similar problems\, whatever their background. The essay addresses successive paradoxes within the unfinished project of democracy: the contradiction between free markets (capitalist inequality) and free societies (political equality)\, the hierarchical relationship between the people and their leaders (Jacques Ranciére’s Ignorant Schoolmaster is discussed)\, and the lack of democracy between nations within the present world order.

Mazie’s story oscillates between moments of isolation\, characterized by profound introspection about that which she is “a-knowen” and that which she cannot understand\, and interactions with the adult world that are almost exclusively described in terms of the grotesque. Bodies\, both her own and those in the world around her\, become sites of violence and pain. Bodies are frustrated\, suffering containers that hold the unknowable and inexpressible. Olsen writes that “Sorrow is tongueless. Apprehension tore it out long ago” (30). This paper will reflect on the inability of language to express and explain suffering in Yonnondio and explore Olsen’s tentative and slippery representations of the ineffable. My paper will further consider the absence of adequate modes of self-expression\, such as art and literature\, in the world of the Holbrooks and how this absence forecloses the possibility of communion between the family members and induces instead painful isolation. My paper will examine chiefly the mind-body dichotomy through which Mazie sees the world\, as well as the particularly oppressive nature of the feminine body as represented in Mazie’s mother\, the ever-pregnant\, unhappy\, and crazed Anna Holbrook. It is my contention that the style of Olsen’s novel explodes narrative form in order to show the limiting and limited nature of closed systems of meaning as such. Her political concerns\, as well as her feminist ethics\, shape Olsen’s Yonnondio and create a haunting\, untouchable anti-narrative that only begins to tell the story of a family like the Holbrooks in a coal mining town like Omaha. \nThe purpose of these sessions is to provide Temple English graduate students an informal opportunity to present their works in progress\, using feedback from fellow students and faculty to develop their essays and continuing research. The GEA anticipates having several WIP events throughout the semester. If you are interested in presenting a paper\, please contact Megan Holmberg.

Draft beers are half off from 5:00 – 7:00pm. \nIf you rely upon public transportation\, the Market-Frankford Line stops at 2nd and Market. From there you can take Market street half a block north to its intersection with Church St.\, at which point you can take a left and arrive at the bar (the sign outside reads “Sugar’s” (not Sugar Mom’s) in half a block.

You can purchase the new translation on Amazon (it is only 87 pages as well). For those who do not wish to buy the book\, the introduction and two chapters\, “Meaning and Representation” and “The Voice That Keeps Silent\,” were attached as a .pdf to the email announcement sent on 10/25. For another copy of the document\, Contact Dan Nutters. \nThere has been a desire\, by some\, to turn to Of Grammatology and/or Derrida’s work on ethics in subsequent meetings\, so this text should help to ground and anticipates what lies in the future. Love him or not\, Derrida still remains a central figure in literary studies and our next meetings should help us get acquainted with his thought in a less formal environment. New faces are especially encouraged to join the group\, and please do not hesitate to contact Dan if you would like further chapters scanned and have any questions.
