SUMMARY:Hannah Zeavin - Sigmund Freud: Tele-Analyst
DESCRIPTION:In The Distance Cure: A History of Teletherapy\, Hannah Zeavin shows that\, far from a recent concern in the COVID-19 pandemic\, teletherapy is as old as psychoanalysis itself. It may be well known that Sigmund Freud routinely used media metaphorically in his theories of the psychic apparatus; this talk recovers the early history of Freud’s real use of media in therapies over distance. \nZeavin reads epistolary and postal conventions in Freud’s moment\, intertwined with Freud’s own epistolary self-analysis (in correspondence with Wilhelm Fliess) and the unconventional treatment by correspondence of his only child patient\, the agoraphobic “Little Hans\,” in order to rethink the coincidental origins of psychoanalysis and teletherapy\, and to help us think through narratives of loss that attend current uses of technology to mediate therapy. \nFree and open to the campus community and the public. \nPresented by the Center for World History.

SUMMARY:Hannah Zeavin – Hot and Cool Mothers
DESCRIPTION:This event is co-sponsored by The Center for World History \nFrom the mid-1940s until the 1960s and beyond\, class\, race\, and maternal function were linked in metaphors of temperature in pediatric psychological studies of Bad Mothers. Newly codified diagnoses of aloof “refrigerator mothers” and overstimulating “hot mothers” were inseparable from midcentury conceptions of stimulation\, mediation\, domesticity\, and race\, including Marshall McLuhan’s theory of hot and cool media\, as well as maternal absence and (over)presence\, echoes of which continue in the present in terms like “helicopter parent.” Whereas autism and autistic states have been extensively elaborated in their relationship to digital media\, this talk attends to attributed maternal causes of “emotionally disturbed\,” queer\, and neurodivergent children. The talk thus elaborates a media theory of mothering and parental “fitness.” \nHannah Zeavin is a scholar\, writer\, and editor\, and works as an Assistant Professor at Indiana University and a Visiting Fellow at the Columbia University Center for The Study of Social Difference. Zeavin is the author of The Distance Cure: A History of Teletherapy (MIT Press\, 2021) and at work on her second book\, Mother’s Little Helpers: Technology in the American Family (MIT Press\, 2024). Articles have appeared in American Imago\, differences: A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies\, Technology and Culture\, Media\, Culture\, and Society\, and elsewhere. Essays and criticism have appeared or are forthcoming from Dissent\, The Guardian\, Harper’s Magazine\, n+1\, The New York Review of Books\, The New Yorker\, and elsewhere. In 2021\, Zeavin co-founded The Psychosocial Foundation and is the Founding Editor of Parapraxis\, a new popular magazine for psychoanalysis on the left\, which will be releasing its first issue in Fall 2022. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. We gather at 12:00 PM\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. \nRSVP by 11 AM on the day of the colloquium\, and you will receive the Zoom link and password at 11:30 AM. \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Benoit Challand – Violence and Representation in the Arab Uprisings
DESCRIPTION:This event is sponsored by the THI Research Cluster Vernaculars of Travel in South Asia and the Middle East and Center for the Middle East and North Africa (CMENA) and co-sponsored by the Department of Sociology \nProviding a longue durée perspective on the Arab uprisings of 2011\, Benoît Challand narrates the transformation of citizenship in the Arab Middle East\, from a condition of latent citizenship in the colonial and post-independence era to the revolutionary dynamics that stimulated democratic participation in the region in 2011. Considering the parallel histories of citizenship and marginalization in Yemen and Tunisia\, Challand develops innovative theories of violence and representation. He argues that a new collective imaginary\, or the collective force of the people\, emerged as a force\, representing itself as the sovereign power that could decide when violence ought to be used to protect all citizens from corrupt power. Shedding light upon uprisings in Yemen\, Tunisia\, but also elsewhere in the Middle East\, this book offers deeper insights into conceptions of violence\, representation\, and democracy. It compares the post-2011 efforts to build a decentralized political order in Tunisia with the calls for federalism in Yemen\, and the shared demands for democratic accountability over the means of coercion. \nBenoit Challand is Associate Professor of Sociology at The New School for Social Research\, New York. He is author of the books Violence and Representation in the Arab Uprisings (Cambridge University Press\, 2023)\, and Palestinian Civil Society: Foreign Donors and the Power to Promote and Exclude (Routledge\, 2009). His work has been translated into Arabic and he has numerous co-authored publications such as The Arab Uprisings and Foreign Assistance (co-edited with F. Bicchi and S. Heydemann\, Routledge 2016)\, and Imagining Europe: Myth\, Memory and Identity\, co-authored with Chiara Bottici (Cambridge University Press 2013). He is also interested in democratic theory\, Western European Marxism\, and settler colonialism.
