SUMMARY:Sounding the Fell and the Fugue: Gabriela Mistral’s “Tala”
DESCRIPTION:In a new Future of the Humanities Project event series — A Bent but Beautiful World: Literature\, Art\, and the Environment — we delve into the topical area of our environment. In recent years\, we have rightly heard much about the world’s environmental problems\, dangers\, and disasters. However\, in this series\, we will invite speakers to explore the ways in which art and literature have foregrounded the inspirational beauty\, delicacy\, and strength of the natural world. \nHow might we sound the relationship between the intimacy of feeding one’s child and the land’s ability or inability to relieve that child’s hunger? What temporal\, rhythmic\, or language structures would such a relationship take in poetic form\, and why? These questions are a central concern of Chilean Nobel Prize for Literature laureate Gabriela Mistral’s 1938 volume\, Tala. Tala\, which means “fells\,” refers to the act of clearing regions for large-scale agricultural production\, the creation of cities\, or modern infrastructures. In this talk\, Anna Deeny Morales will examine how Mistral’s ultimate disquiet in Tala is grounded in her desire to define humanity in terms of our treatment of children whose well-being she tied to the defense of the environment in Latin America. Michael Scott\, director of the Future of the Humanities Project\, will provide opening and closing remarks\, and Kathryn Temple will moderate a Q&A session following the presentation. \nOnline. Open to all. \n  \nSpeakers: \nAnna Deeny Morales works in poetry and music as a librettist\, translator\, and literary critic and is an adjunct professor in the Center for Latin American Studies at Georgetown University. Her recent works in opera include ZAVALA-ZAVALA: an opera in v cuts\, which debuted at the Kennedy Center with the Georgetown University Orchestra and members of the Chiarina Chamber Players in 2022. Deeny Morales is a National Endowment for the Arts Fellow for her translation of Tala by Gabriela Mistral. \nKathryn Temple (moderator) is a professor in the Department of English at Georgetown University where she has taught since 1994. She specializes in the study of law and the humanities. Among her publications are Loving Justice: Legal Emotions in William Blackstone’s England (2019) and the co-edited Research Handbook on Law and Emotions (2021). Her humanities outreach activities include work with military veterans and the incarcerated. \nMichael Scott is senior dean\, fellow of Blackfriars Hall\, Oxford\, college adviser for postgraduate students\, and a member of the Las Casas Institute. He also serves as senior adviser to the president at Georgetown University. Scott was on the editorial board which relaunched Critical Survey from Oxford University Press. Scott previously served as the pro vice chancellor at De Montfort University and founding vice chancellor of Wrexham Glyndwr University. \n  \nThis event is sponsored by the Future of the Humanities Project; the Georgetown Humanities Initiative; the Georgetown Master’s Program in the Engaged and Public Humanities; Campion Hall\, Oxford; and the Las Casas Institute (Blackfriars Hall\, Oxford). It is part of the one-year-long series: A Bent but Beautiful World: Literature\, Art\, and the Environment.

SUMMARY:Dickens on How Not to Do It
DESCRIPTION:Dickens on How Not to Do It: Bureaucracy\, Busyness\, and the Cultural Afterlife of the Circumlocution Office\nIn the preface to the first edition of Little Dorrit\, Dickens proclaims that his novelistic exposition of the ‘whole Science of Government’ was based on the ‘common experience of an Englishman.’ Dickens in other words meant to give the laity’s perspective on public administration. However\, ideas about officialdom tend to be shaped not only by experience\, but also by stories. Indeed\, one supposes that it is only because Dickens’s male protagonist had been out of the country for so long that he arrives at the Circumlocution Office seemingly without having heard\, through bureaucratic folklore\, about its obfuscations and faux busyness. \n In this talk Jonathan Foster explores the narrativisation of bureaucracy and its consequences for the study of public administration\, focusing on what Ceri Sullivan has described as Dickens’s ‘pestilential effect on the image of office life.’ Dickens’s bureaucratic imaginary has not only influenced the broader narrative about British state administration\, it has also bolstered the vocabulary that we have at our disposal when discussing bureaucracy\, through inspired neologisms like ‘red tapeworm\,’ and above all through the ‘Circumlocution Office’ and the dictum ‘How not to do it.’ Jonathan Foster argues that Dickens’s impact as a writer on bureaucracy derives largely from the meme-like quality of these catchphrases\, which live on\, notably\, in the work of other writers who have set their civil service stories in the Circumlocution Office. \n Jonathan Foster is a doctoral student based at Stockholm University whose research focuses on fiction dealing with administrative statecraft. His dissertation examines the depiction of state bureaucracy in the work of Harriet Martineau\, Charles Dickens\, Joseph Conrad and H. G. Wells. He is the co-editor of a special issue of The Parish Review: Journal of Flann O’Brien Studies on ‘Brian O’Nolan and the Irish Civil Service\,’ and he is currently co-editing a special issue of Administory on ‘Administrative Cultures and their Aesthetics’ as well as a volume on Dickens and Decadence. \n

SUMMARY:The influence and ‘presence’ of Charles de Foucauld at the Second Vatican Council and in modern papal thought in delineating the contours of the Church in the World Today
DESCRIPTION:Pope Francis canonised Charles de Foucauld (1858-1916) on 15 May 2022 in Rome. The Pontiff identified him as frère universel or ‘Universal Brother’ in his Encyclical Letter Fratelli Tutti on ‘Fraternity and Social Friendship’ (3 October 2020) ‘Blessed Charles directed his ideal of total surrender to God towards an identification with the poor\, abandoned in the depths of the African desert.’ [287]. However\, after a hundred years since his death ‘Brother Charles’ remains a complex historical figure located between different worlds France and north Africa\, between Christianity and the Muslim World. That said\, Charles de Foucauld has remained a point of reference in Catholic theological\, missiological and ecclesial thought and especially for those seeking a new type of missionary commitment and presence in the world. This lecture will focus on the influence and ‘presence’ of Charles de Foucauld at the Second Vatican Council and in modern papal thought in delineating the contours of the Church in the World Today. \nA lecture by Anthony O’Mahony\, tutor in World Religions at Blackfriars Hall and Studium\, University of Oxford.
