"Graces of the Unsung"Please join us in person or online for the 2022 Presidential Lecture in the Humanities, featuring Columbia University Professor of English and Comparative Literature Saidiya Hartman.
The lecture is a serial portrait of Harlem leftists in the 1920s and '30s. It will examine the challenges in writing the lives of the anonymous and the unknown. Grace Lamb is a textual fiction and a placeholder for the aspirations of black radicalism. The talk will also address the affective character of the archival encounter and the failures of narration.
Saidiya Hartman is the author of "Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments," "Lose Your Mother: A Journey Along the Atlantic Slave Route," and "Scenes of Subjection." A MacArthur Genius Fellow, she has been a Guggenheim Fellow, Cullman Fellow, and Fulbright Scholar. She has published articles in journals such as South Atlantic Quarterly, Brick, Small Axe, Callaloo, The New Yorker, and The Paris Review. She is a professor at Columbia University and lives in New York.
