Conference | Global Thought: Building an African Presence


The onset of the 20th century brought with it new information and representations about Africa. These new ideas about the continent enabled different groups to contribute to the process of building an African presence in the world. It is this reconstitution of Africa within a world context that this conference will focus on. Convened by Professor Mamadou Diouf and Dr. Jinny Prais, the conference will consider how to reframe this historical period with Africa located at the center of what scholars have previously approached as a strictly western/European discussion. The ways that Africans and people of African descent rearticulated and reimagined Africa within this global discussion about the future of civilization and humanity will also be considered.

Discussion | Of Roots, Clichés and the Imagination: Where Do We Write From?


With Rodrigo Fresán, Alberto Ruy-Sánchez, Martin Solares, and Miguel Syjuco; moderated by Natasha Wimmer. Spanish-language writers are often grouped together by American critics as part of a single tradition. But as these writers prove, there are many traditions at work in Spanish writing—and, what’s more, writers are free to choose among these traditions, and even to invent their own. Join Rodrigo Fresán from Argentina, Martín Solares and Alberto Ruy-Sánchez from Mexico, and Miguel Syjuco from the Philippines for a conversation about the mixed and surprising roots of writing, the clichés so often attached to Spanish-language writers, and the borderless force of the imagination. The conversation will be moderated by Natasha Wimmer, award-winning translator of Roberto Bolaño among others.

Discussion | Authors Javier Cercas and Amanda Vaill in Conversation


Javier Cercas, one of Spain’s most celebrated authors, wrote his novel, Soldiers of Salamis, about an incident from the Spanish Civil War. The book was made into a movie and was hailed by Boyd Tonkin as “a classic novel … about the filtration of war’s tragedies through memory and myth.” His most recent book, Anatomía de un Instante, is a chilling reconstruction of the 1981 attempt by army insurgents to bring fascism back to democratic Spain. He’ll speak with Amanda Vaill, whose biography, Everybody Was So Young, was a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award, and who is at work on a book about three couples whose lives intersected during the Spanish Civil War. Join them for a conversation about that war, its enduring aftermath, the role of fiction in rendering the complexity of the past, and much more.

Discussion | The Essay


With Quim Monzó, Peter Schneider, and Jean-Philippe Toussaint; moderated by Susan Harris, editorial director, Words Without Borders. Almost all modern essays are written in prose, but works in verse such as Alexander Pope’s An Essay on Criticism and An Essay on Man contribute to the form’s rich history. Brevity is often a defining principle, but the opposite holds true as well, with examples such as John Locke’s voluminous An Essay Concerning Human Understanding. These writers, all of them accomplished essayists, discuss the form—its great history, its restraints, freedoms, and challenges.

Dance Performance | Annual Spring Dance Performance


The Eugene Lang College Dance Department presents its annual Spring Dance Performance. The performance is the culmination of the yearlong residency of Jim May, artistic director of the Sokolow Theater Dance Ensemble. To commemorate the centennial of the birth of renowned American choreographer and modern theater dance creator Anna Sokolow, May has worked with students to reconstruct her groundbreaking work Lyrical Suite. The piece, which has not been performed in 25 years, premiered in 1953 at the 92nd Street Y. Creating the work, Sokolow drew from her years as a soloist, using each section of the piece to examine, without narrative, a broad range of human emotions through the use of walks, lunges, runs, and falls. The performance also premieres original dance works conceived and directed by Lang faculty and featuring Lang students.

Then they close out the show with a storytelling jam session featuring all of the nights performers telling real life funny tales of triumphs and failure (let's be honest mostly failures) based on audience suggestions. Hosted by Harry Terjanian with comedians Hilary Schwartz, John Knefel, Nick Turner, Dan St Germain, TJ Delreno, Gabriel Pacheco, and Dan Goodman.
