SUMMARY:Authorship and/or Automation: Poetry\, AI\, and the Future of Expression
DESCRIPTION:Please join Text/Tech\, the English Media Lab of UCLA\, for a conversation at the edge of literature and code. \n\nAuthorship and/or Automation brings together four major digital artist-theorists to explore how emerging forms of technology are reshaping the acts of writing\, performing\, and publishing. Through short presentations and a roundtable discussion\, participants explore the consequences of composing with algorithms and large language models; how digital tools transform our conceptions of voice\, style\, and authorship; and where human imagination meets\, resists\, or exceeds machine computation. \nThis event will be online (Zoom). However\, if you would like to participate as part of the “live studio audience\,” please join us at the Text/Tech room in Kaplan Hall 211. Refreshments will be served. Organized and moderated by Brian Kim Stefans. \nRegister here to attend. \n\n\n\n\nParticipant Biographies: \nLillian-Yvonne Bertram is an African American writer\, poet\, artist\, and educator whose poetic practice includes the intersection of computation\, AI\, race\, and gender. They are the author of Travesty Generator (Noemi Press)\, a book of computational poetry longlisted for the 2020 National Book Award for Poetry. They are the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Poetry Fellowship. Their other poetry books include How Narrow My Escapes (DIAGRAM/New Michigan)\, Personal Science (Tupelo Press)\, a slice from the cake made of air (Red Hen Press)\, and But a Storm is Blowing From Paradise (Red Hen Press).

They direct the MFA in creative writing program at the University of Maryland and are a 2024 Foundation for Contemporary Arts poetry grant recipient and 2024 Deutsch Foundation Ruby’s Grant recipient. They are co-editor with Nick Montfort of the recently released anthology Output: An Anthology of Computer-Generated Text\, 1953-2023 published by MIT Press. \nKyle Booten is a scholar-practitioner whose work explores the algorithmic mediation of human thinking\, especially poetic thinking. His most recent book is Gyms (dispersed holdings)\, a book of poetry written with and against nine different algorithmic “word gyms” designed to make writing more strenuous. His current project\, Noöhacking\, reimagines the notion of care in a posthuman direction. With Katy Ilonka Gero\, Booten edits Ensemble Park: A Journal of Human+Computer Writing. He is an Assistant Professor of English at the University of Connecticut. \nNick Montfort is a poet\, artist\, professor of digital media at MIT\, principal investigator at the University of Bergen’s Center for Digital Narrative\, and director of lab/studio The Trope Tank.

His recently published book\, The Little Database: A Poetics of Media Formats (University of Minnesota Press\, 2025)\, examines the networked afterlives of media-reflexive works of art and letters in search of contingent methods for reading ordinary digital collections.\n\nBrian Kim Stefans is a poet\, digital writer\, and scholar whose work spans print\, electronic literature\, and computational poetics. He is a Professor of English at UCLA and author of numerous books of poetry and scholarship including Word Toys: Poetry and Technics (University of Alabama Press) and For Trapped Things (poems\, Roof Books). His latest work is the AI-assisted chapbook “Beauty Face: A Poem\,” available for download at www.arras.net.

SUMMARY:Form\, Style\, ‘Critique’: The Review in Postwar France\, Seminar with Visiting Researcher Dr. Jessica Marian
DESCRIPTION:Please join us in Kaplan 193 or online on Monday\, December 8 at 5pm PST to hear about Visiting Researcher Jessica Marian’s book project\, “Form\, Style\, ‘Critique’: The Review in Postwar France.” \nAbstract: \n\n\nSeveral now-iconic works in the tradition of postwar French theory began as book reviews: Jacques Derrida’s Of Grammatology\, Giles Deleuze’s Logic of Sense\, and Luce Irigaray’s Speculum of the Other Woman\, to name only a few. Review writing is usually considered a minor form of intellectual activity. In fact\, it was a ubiquitous and vibrant practice in the postwar French intellectual scene\, one of the primary forms of philosophical commentary and experimentation. Focusing on the journal Critique\, I combine intellectual history\, book history\, and close reading to show how an apparently negligible form\, the book review\, animated some of the great works of the period. \nSpeaker bio: \nJessica Marian is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Melbourne. She is currently contributing to the Australian Research Council Discovery Project Journals in Theory: Practices of Academic Judgement alongside Justin Clemens\, Claire Colebrook\, Joe Hughes\, and Tom Ford. Her interdisciplinary research investigates how institutions and infrastructures shape modern and contemporary knowledge production. She mainly specialises in literary theory\, twentieth-century French philosophy\, periodical studies\, and intellectual history. From September-December 2025\, she is a Visiting Researcher at the University of California\, Los Angeles. Her work has appeared in Angelaki (forthcoming 2026)\, New Literary History (2024)\, Australian Humanities Review (2024)\, and Australian Literary Studies (2023). She is currently developing two monographs. The first is a sole-authored book on the journal Critique\, the genre of the review essay\, and the problem of style in post-war French thought. The second is a co-authored project titled What is an Expert?\, in development with the Journals in Theory group for Nebraska University Press. She is co-convenor of the Critical Research Association Melbourne (CRAM) and co-editor of Parrhesia: A Journal of Critical Philosophy.

SUMMARY:Medieval Texts Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Medieval Texts Reading Group welcomes undergraduate students\, graduate students\, staff\, and faculty interested in medieval literature. On the third Friday of each term\, we meet to discuss a text in English translation from across the Global Middle Ages and consider what it tells us about its cultural and literary context. Each discussion will be led by an expert on the chosen text and its place in the wider medieval world. \nNo preparation is necessary (other than a brief skim of the text)\, and no expertise or medieval knowledge is required – only enthusiasm! Suggestions for what to read (or what kinds of texts to read) are very welcome. \nThe winter meeting will take place Friday\, January 30 at 3:00pm to 5:00pm in Kaplan Hall 193. We will read indulgences and the foundation narratives of Sainte-Chapelle in Paris. Discussion will be led by Professor Meredith Cohen (Art History). \nView the readings here \nThis event is co-sponsored by the UCLA CMRS Center for Early Global Studies.
