Translation and comparative cultural studies East–West in dialogue 8–9 May 2014

Responding to the growing need for greater intercultural dialogue between ‘Western’, Asian and Arabic cultures, this conference explores areas of overlap and difference in Eastern and Western traditions of translation and comparative studies.

By enacting dialogue between the various traditions, rather than presenting them in terms of traditional dichotomies or subsuming them under monolithic concepts of universal values, the event will contribute towards a reshaping of our understanding of intercultural encounters and engagement.

The link between translation studies and comparative cultural

06

studies is key and mutually productive: while both are currently engaging with the notion of the incomparability of cultures, translation studies is based on the necessity to compare in order to find appropriate equivalents.

By animating the link between these disciplines we aim to contribute to the outlining of new horizons for both.

Lives in the balance Asylum adjudication by the Department of Homeland Security in the US 14 May 2014

The British in Brazil 12–13 May 2014 This conference brings together internationally renowned scholars to explore the history and legacy of the British in Brazil from economic, political, and cultural perspectives. Gilberto Freyre’s book, Ingleses no Brasil (The English in Brazil), published in 1948 explored in a sympathetic way the influence of the British on trade and industry in Brazil, especially in the early 19th century. Notwithstanding this, the historical role of the British in

Brazil from the 19th century is not well known and Freyre’s book, although pioneering on the topic, is a personal account and not one that sought to be comprehensive.

Over 60 years later and with the benefit of new scholarship, including the publication of Freyre’s book in English in 2011, this conference will take a fresh look at the topic and explore it from wider perspectives.

See page 29 for event information

The authors investigated patterns of adjudication nationwide and within each of the Department’s eight regional asylum offices; officers’ perceptions of certain characteristics of applicants; differences among the eight regional offices; and, for a smaller database of 31,635 cases, correlations between personal characteristics of the adjudicators and case outcomes. The data revealed many surprising correlations, which Professors Ramji-Nogales and Schrag will demonstrate visually during their slide show presentation at this seminar.

www.sas.ac.uk

Professors Philip Schrag (Georgetown University), Jaya Ramji-Nogales (Temple University) and Andrew Schoenholtz spent three years studying the government’s database of asylum adjudications, from October 1995 to June 2009. This 383,000 case database is one of the world’s largest collections of data about adjudicated cases.

Event highlights

Metaphysics and method 16 May 2014 Methodological questions about metaphysics have recently come to the fore as a result of a conspicuous trend. Metaphysics has seen a resurgence of historical proportions, since at least the 1970s and 80s, due to the introduction of new frameworks (possible-world semantics, formal ontologies, theories of counterfactuals), the formulation of novel theories (modal realism, naturalness, grounding) and renovated interest in older ones (mereology).

The increasing complexity of the discipline has prompted a reflection on its own goals and methods. Meta-metaphysicians are typically interested in such questions as: Is ontology central to the metaphysical endeavor? Can metaphysics be carried out ‘from the armchair’? Are metaphysical disputes defective? Is logic metaphysically innocent?

This event focuses on some of the central issues in contemporary metaphysics and its methods.

Apuleius the Provincial Rome–London Lecture 2014 20 May 2014 Professor Barchiesi is a leading authority on Latin literature, with numerous publications, including studies on Vergil, Seneca and Ovid. The Metamorphoses of Apuleius is often described as one of the first novels.

This lecture will give critical insight into the relationship between Rome and the provinces, centre and periphery, as a crucial aspect of the plot.

The annual Rome–London Lectures, launched in November 2012, promote collaboration between the UK and Italy on all aspects of the Classical tradition in Italy, with special emphasis on Roman archaeology and history, but not excluding literature, language, philosophy and art.

The initiative is supported by the British School in Rome, the British Museum and the Roman Society.

Meanings of mind The Human Mind Project 23 May 2014 The first public event of the Human Mind Project, which was launched in December 2013, addresses the meaning of mind – how the term is used by philosophers, and the extent to which philosophical ideas about the nature, mechanism and function of the mind relate to the way that scientists use the word across the cognitive sciences.

This one-day intensive workshop brings together leading philosophers and scientists willing to discuss what they see to be the key questions facing the study of the mind today. Its overarching goal is to represent a range of philosophical opinion, from those who embrace naturalistic approaches to the mind to those who are skeptical, as well as to explore potentially fruitful topics for interdisciplinary research.

Harrison Birtwistle at 80 A study day 25 May 2014 This study day at the Barbican Centre marks the 80th birthday of Harrison Birtwistle, composer of some of the most inventive and memorable music of the late 20th and 21st centuries.

Complementing a series of performances of Birtwistle’s music at the Barbican Centre, a morning symposium will be followed by a study afternoon copromoted by the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the Barbican Centre. The composer himself will be in conversation with Fiona Maddocks (The Observer) during the study afternoon. Professor Jonathan Cross (University of Oxford) will chair both sessions.

The event will address aspects of Birtwistle’s work including his relationship with the legacy of post-1945 British operatic renewal, an overview of his creative processes, an investigation of his collaborations with poets, and an assessment of the importance of the visual arts to Birtwistle and his younger contemporary Wolfgang Rihm.

The secret archive What is the significance of the FCO’s ‘migrated archives’ and ‘special collections’?

29 May 2014

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) collections of ‘migrated archives’ from 37 former dependencies, now in The National Archives, created enormous interest when their existence was admitted following a recent court case brought against the UK government by Kenyans formerly detained and tortured by the UK colonial administration.

A Foreign Secretarycommissioned report investigated the removal and concealment of official documentation, and drew attention to the FCO’s lack of knowledge about the information that it holds. A 2013 detailed investigation revealed

10

that it holds ‘special collections’ of over 600,000 documents contrary to public records legislation, including intelligence records and case files containing unique first person accounts of the Holocaust.

This conference brings together historians, archivists, lawyers, journalists and civil servants to examine this concealment of documentation, and to consider how best to secure its future survival and public release.

30–31 May 2014 The idea of the cure and care of the soul, seen as parallel or complementary to the cure and care of the body, became increasingly popular in the early modern period, from the 15th to the 18th centuries.

This conference explores the extent to which early modern ways of curing and caring for one’s soul can be seen as a bridging category that functioned across a number of interrelated disciplines (natural and moral philosophy, logic, medicine and theology).

Some of the questions that will be considered are: Can such phrases as ‘medicine of the mind’ and ‘medicine of the soul’ be given firm conceptual and historical definitions? Can they be taken as evidence that patterns of medical thinking were being imported into the domain of moral and theological discourse, or that the opposite trend was in fact taking place?

Local history and heritage Local history summer school 24–26 July 2014 This three-day non-residential summer school focuses on local history and heritage using the most up-to-date methods, sources and successful approaches to the subject.

An illustrious team of experts from The National Archives, the London Metropolitan Archives, English Heritage, the History of Parliament, the Survey of London and the Victoria County History, as well as from universities throughout the UK, will explore the historical, archaeological, art historical and architectural evidence for British localities.

Through practical advice and example, students will learn how to broaden and enrich their own local history projects, as well as have the opportunity to meet specialists and other researchers and to discuss their own work. Sessions will include ‘sources and approaches’, ‘houses and households’, ‘urban heritage’, ‘landscape and gardens’ and ‘writing, presenting and publishing’.

Anna Kavan Historical context, influences and legacy of her fiction 11 September 2014 Anna Kavan’s publication history spans from her early novels under the name Helen Ferguson in the late 1920s and early 1930s to her last work which won Brian Aldiss’ prize for Sci-Fi Novel of the Year in 1967.

Her own life story has been widely, and often sensationally, reported in magazine articles, book reviews and popular biography, but there has been little serious scholarly attention to her writing. Yet, her writing continues to be published in English and translation, to hold fascination for new generations of readers and to influence other writers and artists.

This one-day symposium brings together scholars with an interest in Kavan to promote an increasing academic focus on her work. The day will close with an evening event at which leading contemporary writers will discuss Anna Kavan’s work in relation to their own writing.

Centre for Musical Performance as Creative Practice seminar and concert 12 May 2014 Professor Christian Wolff Composer

Christian Wolff was born in 1934 in France, but has lived mostly in the US since 1941. Academically trained at Harvard as a classicist, Wolff has taught classics at Harvard and from 1971 to 1999 was Professor of Classics and Music at Dartmouth College.

Though mostly self-taught as a composer of experimental music, associations with John Cage, Morton Feldman, David Tudor, Earle Brown, Frederic Rzewski and Cornelius Cardew have been important for him. A particular feature of his music has been to allow performers various degrees

of freedom and interaction at the actual time of performance.

Professor Wolff is a member of the Akademie der K端nste in Berlin and has received an honorary Doctor of Arts degree from the California Institute of the Arts. His lecture will be followed by a short concert by Apartment House, an award-winning chamber ensemble specialising in contemporary classical music.

Neuropsychologist Julia Simner is a synaesthesia research expert.

She runs the Synaesthesia and Sensory Integration lab at the University of Edinburgh. Her work focuses on the psychological and neuroscientific bases of synaesthesia (an inherited neurological condition that gives rise to a ‘merging of the senses’, e.g. synaesthetes might ‘see’ colours when they hear music or read numbers, or experience tastes in the mouth when they read words). She has been published in high impact science journals such as Nature and is the editor of the Oxford Handbook of Synaesthesia. In 2010 she was recognised as an outstanding European scientist by the European Commission’s Atomium Culture Initiative. In this CenSes seminar, part of the Rethinking the Senses project, Julia explores the nature of cross-sensory experiences and asks what they might tell us about sensory processing in the population at large, and how synaesthesia might open novel ways of understanding creativity, perception and the very nature of reality.

‘The School’s extensive and varied range of training programmes are designed to meet the needs of 21st-century researchers, offering programmes which enable scholars in the humanities to develop their skills and pursue their studies to maximum effect.’ Rachel Stickland, Registrar

70

The School’s programme of personal development and transferable skills training is available in the form of weekly workshops.

This general training is complemented by a set of research methodologies courses for students in social science disciplines, and in the software and management information tools required to enable students to complete their research effectively.

Making the most of the concentration of expertise available in the School and the University of London, the institutes between them also provide well-established discipline-specific research training in core humanities disciplines.

Training in aspects of history, for instance, is extensive, notably in the Institute of Historical Research (IHR), which offers a comprehensive programme of short courses in research skills for historians.

Taking advantage of both the unparalleled concentration of historical expertise available in the University of London, and the wealth of archival materials in and round the capital, the Institute’s highly successful courses are widely recognised as the best means of developing and extending both essential and more specialised research skills. The IHR training programme is primarily aimed at postgraduate historians, but also welcomes established historians and independent researchers and writers of all sorts. Further historical skills courses run by the Warburg Institute include classes in medieval and Renaissance Latin for historians, and a programme of training in resources and techniques (jointly with the University of Warwick), which provides specialist research training for doctoral students working on Renaissance and early modern subjects in a range of disciplines.

The London Palaeography Summer School run by the Institute of English Studies provides training in that key skill.

Extensive training for students of cultures and literatures is offered by the Institute of Modern Languages Research, whose well-established and popular programme, comprising a series of Saturday workshops, is offered to any postgraduate student working in modern languages or a related discipline (for instance, film, or art history).

And the Institute of Musical Research runs a successful national scheme of day schools, aimed at PhD students but also open to those taking master’s programmes in music, whereby specialist tutors from across the UK provide an insight into current research questions, debates and methodologies across a spectrum of musical research.

Most of the School’s training is available to postgraduate students across the UK, much of it free of charge.

Details of all research training courses are available from our website: www.sas.ac.uk/supportresearch/ research-training

If you would like a copy of our research training and skills handbook, or would like any guidance, please contact us: School of Advanced Study Registry Senate House Malet Street London WC1E 7HU United Kingdom www.sas.ac.uk

The School of Advanced Study draws on its research and teaching expertise to provide a programme of discipline-specific, generic and online research training to support the development of the scholars of tomorrow.

Calls for papers

London and the First World War

Forbidden access: censoring books and archives

20–21 March 2015

6–7 November 2014

As part of the events commemorating the First World War centenary, Imperial War Museums in partnership with the Centre for Metropolitan History is organising a major conference to explore the ways in which London and its inhabitants were affected by, and involved with, the 1914–18 conflict. Proposals for panels or individual papers are invited on any topic connected with the impact of the First World War on London and its role in the conflict, from a wide range of perspectives and disciplines.

Please send abstracts of around 250 words and a brief biography to olwen.myhill@sas.ac.uk

Dickens Day 2014: Dickens and conviviality 11 October 2014 CFP deadline: 31 May 2014 Dickens Day, now in its 28th year, will look at how conviviality features in Dickens’s life and work. His works are famously convivial, depicting sociability in myriad forms, and renowned for their emphasis on humour, celebrations, family gatherings, theatrics, eating and drinking, and good cheer. Dickens was also himself famously convivial and sociable. Yet he was also a chronicler of the flipside of bonhomie, exploring loneliness, isolation, poverty, and the feelings of inadequacy and exclusion that may fuel conviviality. Proposals are invited for 20-minute papers that address these themes from scholars of all backgrounds and career stages.

Please send proposals of no more than 500 words to Bethan Carney, Holly Furneaux and Ben Winyard at bethan.carney@gmail.com, hf35@le.ac.uk and benwinyard@hotmail.com

CFP deadline: 2 June 2014 This multidisciplinary conference will explore how published works and archival materials and the ideas contained in them are affected, obscured or distorted by censorship. It will investigate the proliferating and divisive causes, symptoms and effects of the censoring impulse, from overt interference with a text to the subtler, intangible effects of caution and fear in the face of anticipated control, and to do so in relation to a variety of angles and contexts: aesthetic, cultural, socio-economic, ideological, legal, political. Proposals for 20-minute papers are invited on any aspect of the power of censorship.

Please send paper proposals of no more than 300 words, plus a short biography to iesevents@sas.ac.uk

Being Human: a festival of the humanities 15–23 November 2014 CFP deadline: 20 June 2014 Being Human is the first coordinated national festival of the humanities in the UK. Led by the School of Advanced Study – with support from the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy – the festival will celebrate the vitality, value, and social relevance of humanities research in 2014, via a national exploration of what it means to be human.

Hosted by higher education institutions and their cultural and community partners across the UK, it will draw together a programme of publicly accessible activities to inform, extend, and ignite our contemporary thinking and imagination. Proposals are invited from research organisations who would like to stage events as part of the festival.

For further information about how to get involved please contact Michael Eades and Rosemary Lambeth at michael.eades@sas.ac.uk and rosemary.lambeth@sas.ac.uk www.sas.ac.uk

CFP deadline: 30 May 2014

The institutes of the School collectively offer a rich programme of seminars, workshops, lectures, conferences and other academic events. Each year around 2,000 events are organised on humanities topics, attracting over 50,000 audience members drawn from around the UK and internationally as well as the London area including scholars, representatives from academic, public and private organisations, policy-makers, professional experts, and the interested public. More than 6,000 speakers, over one-third of whom are from outside the UK, are welcomed annually to contribute to the intellectual culture of the School.

The majority of our events are free and open to the public. All are welcome and encouraged to take advantage of the access to current research and the interdisciplinary cross-fertilisation these events afford.
