January 17, 2017, 11:00-12:30pm<br \/>\nHMNSS 2212<\/h4>\n<p>This paper traces the glancing but decisive use of the words \u201cobscene\u201d or \u201cobscenity\u201d in the work of Jean-Paul Sartre and Emmanuel Levinas. Even though in many ways intellectual enemies, both Sartre and Levinas discuss \u201cthe obscene\u201d at crucial points in their works in similar terms as a kind of borderline state or no-go zone, thus not only revealing some of the underlying premises of their respective philosophies, but also offering insight into the concept of the obscene itself as a question of perception, representation, and affect.<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;Strangers in Europe: Migrants and the Crisis of Unification&#8221;<\/h3>\n<h4>Prof. Aamir Mufti, Department of Comparative Literature, UCLA<\/h4>\n<h4>Thursday February 2, 3:10-5:00<br \/>\nHMNSS 2212<\/h4>\n<p>Aamir R.

His account of &#8220;Bildung,&#8221; moreover, shows the ways in which reflection is an integral part of this process, suggesting that cultural participation is never merely a habitual, but always also a reflective activity.\u00a0[<a href=\"https:\/\/complitlang.ucr.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/posterandrejanovakovicsept26.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flyer PDF<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_tab_section av_tab_section av-5pjj11-641c50149c70919b0a41fa910cb2dadc'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='tab' role='tab' tabindex='0' data-fake-id='#tab-id-3' aria-controls='tab-id-3-content'  itemprop=\"headline\" >2013<\/div><div id='tab-id-3-content' class='tab_content' aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class='tab_inner_content invers-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The main theme of Winter Colloquium 2013 will be our shared mission of teaching. Most of the sessions will be panel presentations by our own teaching staff, from TAs to full professors, on various aspects of teaching, notably including the initiatives our department has taken to create core courses (CPLT 1, 2, and 193) for our undergraduates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The colloquium will also feature special lectures by Professor George Slusser, curator emeritus of UCR\u2019s Eaton Collection of Science Fiction and Fantasy, by Carlos Cortes, professor emeritus of History, and the winner of the 2013 Barricelli Award.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">It is an exciting program and we hope everyone will attend. Sessions will begin at 11:10 a.m. and extend until 12:30 p.m., or 1:00 at the latest. People who have classes at 12:00 can of course take their leaves at that time. All sessions will be in the department conference room (HMNSS 2412).<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cThe Experience and Prospects of Our New Course Comparative Literature 1\u201d<\/h3>\n<h4>Wednesday January 9<br \/>\n11:10am-1:00pm<br \/>\nComp Lit Department Conference Room<\/h4>\n<p>Panel: Sabine Doran, Jeff Sacks, Mimi Long and Stephanie Fousek<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cThe Experience and Prospects of Our New Course Comparative Literature 193\u201d<\/h3>\n<h4>Wednesday January 16<br \/>\n11:10am-1:00pm<br \/>\nComp Lit Department Conference Room<\/h4>\n<p>Panel: Perry Link, Mimi Long, John Kim, and Kelly Jeong<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cThe Real Science Fiction: A Short Course in Defining the Genre.\u201d<\/h3>\n<h4>Wednesday January 23<br \/>\n11:10am-1:00pm<br \/>\nComp Lit Department Conference Room<\/h4>\n<p>George Slusser, Emeritus Professor of Comparative Literature, UCR<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cTechniques for Teaching Large Classes\u201d<\/h3>\n<h4>Wednesday January 30<br \/>\n11:10am-1:00pm<br \/>\nComp Lit Department Conference Room<\/h4>\n<p>Panel: Theda Shapiro, Sabine Doran, Heidi Waltz, and April Durham<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cThe Interconnections between Language Teaching and the Teaching of Literature and Culture\u201d<\/h3>\n<h4>Wednesday February 6<br \/>\n11:10am-1:00pm<br \/>\nComp Lit Department Conference Room<\/h4>\n<p>Panel: Tom Scanlon, Perry Link, Sarah Valentine and Jennifer Ramos<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;Rose Hill: One Man&#8217;s Adventures in Memoir Writing&#8221;<\/h3>\n<h4>Wednesday February 13<br \/>\n11:10am-1:00pm<br \/>\nComp Lit Department Conference Room<\/h4>\n<p>Carlos Cortes, Emeritus Professor of History, UCR<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cEvaluation of Teaching: the Role of Student Evaluations\u201d<\/h3>\n<h4>Wednesday February 20<br \/>\n11:10am-1:00pm<br \/>\nComp Lit Department Conference Room<\/h4>\n<p>Panel: Katherine Kinney, Michelle Bloom, and Lisa Raphals<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cEvaluation of Teaching: The Role of Senate Faculty Visits to Non-Senate Faculty Courses\u201d<\/h3>\n<h4>Wednesday February 27<br \/>\n11:10am-1:00pm<br \/>\nComp Lit Department Conference Room<\/h4>\n<p>Panel: Kelle Truby, Wendy Raschke, Young Hong, and Sabine Thuerwaechter<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cThe Experience and Prospects of Our New Course Comparative Literature 2\u201d<\/h3>\n<h4>Wednesday March 6<br \/>\n11:10am-1:00pm<br \/>\nComp Lit Department Conference Room<\/h4>\n<p>Panel: Hendrik Maier, Annmaria Shimabuku, Minh Nguyen, and Regina Lee<\/p>\n<h3>Barricelli Awardee Lecture<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>\u201cSonic Retro-futures: Musical Nostalgia as Revolution in Post-1960s American Literature and Technoculture\u201d<\/h3>\n<h4>Tuesday\u00a0March 12<br \/>\n11:10am-1:00pm<br \/>\nComp Lit Department Conference Room<\/h4>\n<p>Mark Young, ABD, Department of English, UCR<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_tab_section av_tab_section av-3zyvn9-cc175eb6eb8cfb76d45dc19ae3b5dab2'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='tab' role='tab' tabindex='0' data-fake-id='#tab-id-4' aria-controls='tab-id-4-content'  itemprop=\"headline\" >2012: Crossing Disciplines<\/div><div id='tab-id-4-content' class='tab_content' aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class='tab_inner_content invers-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>&#8220;Environmental History: Intersections with Comparative Literature?&#8221;<\/h3>\n<h4>Wednesday January 11<br \/>\n12-1:30pm<br \/>\nComp Lit Department Conference Room<\/h4>\n<p><strong>David Biggs<br \/>\n<\/strong>Department of History, UC Riverside<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;Personality Traits and Personal Goals: Who Wants What?&#8221;<\/h3>\n<h4>Wednesday January 18<br \/>\n12-1:30pm<br \/>\nComp Lit Department Conference Room<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Dan Ozer<br \/>\n<\/strong>Department of Psychology, UC Riverside<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;The Process of Creativity and Writing&#8221;<\/h3>\n<h4>Wednesday January 25<br \/>\n12-1:30pm<br \/>\nComp Lit Department Conference Room<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Goldberry Long<br \/>\n<\/strong>Department of Creative Writing, UC Riverside<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;Biography of a Contraceptive Device: Storytelling in Science and Technology Studies&#8221;<\/h3>\n<h4>Wednesday February 1<br \/>\n12-1:30pm<br \/>\nComp Lit Department Conference Room<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Chikako Takeshita<br \/>\n<\/strong>Department of Women&#8217;s Studies, UC Riverside<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;The French Colonial Project&#8221;<\/h3>\n<h4>Wednesday February 8<br \/>\n12-1:30pm<br \/>\nComp Lit Department Conference Room<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Patricia Morton<br \/>\n<\/strong>Department of Art History, UC Riverside<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;The Object of Whose Hands?
