He will share his thoughts on failureas failure\, that is\, failure witho ut recuperation\, or failure as true negativity. Such a thinking of failur e as a thorough impasse not only resists narratives of progress\, ideologi es of success\, and their accompanying notions of grit and resilience\, bu t also registers\, at the ontological level\, the affective structure of e xistence. This might also mean reckoning with failure as an irreducible or indelible element of existence\, and this can no doubt have implications for the question of a life after\, if not always with\, failure\, that is\ , a question of survival\, as this year’s theme for the Society would ha ve it.\n\nBio \n\nIrving Goh is Professor of Comparative Literature at Emo ry University. He is the author\, most recently\, of Living On After Failu re (Duke UP\, 2025) and Touching Literature\, or the Experience of the Lim it (Cornell UP\, 2026). His other books are The Reject: Community\, Politi cs\, and Religion after the Subject (Fordham UP\, 2014)\, which won the ML A 23rd Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for French and Francophone Studies\ , L’existence prépositionnelle (Galilée\, 2019)\, and with Jean-Luc Na ncy\, The Deconstruction of Sex (Duke UP\, 2021). He was a recipient of a National Humanities Center fellowship in 2022/23 and was named a Franke Vi siting Faculty Fellow at the Whitney Humanities Center at Yale in 2018.\n\ nLight reception to follow talk.

I focus on two tales and their defaced protagonists—the mur dered schoolboy in the Prioress’s Tale and the slain maiden Virginia in the Physician’s Tale. In each case\, the narrative centers on the interp lay of utterance and animation and how fictions of voice both figure and d isfigure their speakers. I place these speakers within the wider problemat ic of voice in the Canterbury Tales as well as recent developments within literary studies\, in the treatment of character\, narrator\, and poetic s peaker. \n\nJulie Orlemanski teaches and writes about medieval literature and theoretical and methodological questions in present-day literary studi es. She is Associate Professor of English at the University of Chicago. He r monograph\, Symptomatic Subjects: Bodies\, Medicine\, and Causation in t he Literature of Late Medieval England\, appeared from the University of P ennsylvania Press in 2019.

Upon ceasefire\, the “Wagner Group” faded back into shadow\, only to reemerge in the Mi ddle East\, where they'd go toe-to-toe with the U.S.\, and in Africa\, whe re they'd earn praise for “tough measures” against insurgencies yet sp ark outrage for looting\, torture\, and civilian deaths. As Russia gained a foothold of influence abroad\, Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin\, known as “Putin's Chef\,” went from caterer to commander to single greatest threat Putin has faced in his over-twenty-year rule.\n\nDually armed with military and strategic prowess\, the Wagner Group created a new market in a vast geopolitical landscape increasingly receptive to the promises of pr ivate actors.

These are the moments that are simply impossible to express\, but momen ts that have captured us for all time. \nJoin a New England forester on a fifty-year quest for something larger than all of us. Here are a series of essays\, stories and poems emerging from the natural world\, but always c onnected to a life that has had its common share of illumination and darkn ess\, hope and despair\, love and loss\, ambition and failure\, resistance and acceptance\, anger and peace. Marking timber for harvest becomes a me ditation on the unique connection between responsibility to the natural wo rld and awareness of self and others. A shadow in the woods\, a voice on t he wind opens up the mystery inherent in all the wisdom traditions. The im pact of a sudden death on a logging crew lingers for decades\, demanding a resolution between hubris and fate. The crushing retreat of the United St ates from climate science and advocacy manifests in a longing for the prec ise language of another time when we were closer to the natural cycles of life. \nAbout the author: Robert’s vision is a closer connection to the natural world and a region consisting of wild reserves surrounded by excep tionally managed forests that can produce the climate-friendly products ne eded in an era of changing climate. He has worked for the forest industry\ , as a consulting forester\, and led The Wilderness Society’s Land Ethic and Network of Wildlands Programs. He chaired the 53-member Northern Fore st Alliance and helped found the Forest Stewards Guild\, a national organi zation of ecologically focused foresters. The Guild stands out as the only professional society to place an ethical responsibility to the land first and foremost in its code of ethics. More recently\, as Executive Director of the New England Forestry Foundation\, he led the creation of Exemplary Forestry standards\, utilizing climate smart management techniques to off set 30 percent of the New England region’s carbon emissions. \nCurrently \, as a speaker and author\, he is dedicated to promoting a bioeconomy tha t emphasizes the construction of tall buildings using engineered wood. His work focuses on replacing materials with high fossil fuel content\, such as plastic\, steel\, and concrete\, with sustainably sourced and climate-r esilient forest products. Bob lives in an oak forest on the north shore of the island of Martha’s Vineyard. \nAbout the conversation partner: An I thaca Native and 1970 Ithaca High School grad\, Gary married Carol Dentes Wilhelm\, IHS ’71\, fifty-two years ago. They have three children—Hann ah\, Greta and Hugh—IHS grads of 2000\, 2004 and 2007 IHS respectively. Gary met Bob Perschel at Yale where they were teammates on the football te am and captains in successive years—Bob in 1972 and Gary in 1973. After Yale\, Gary attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and earned a profess ional degree in Architecture.

Beginn ing in the 1970s\, Peruvian poetry embraced the city and explored the poss ibilities of colloquial language to represent the experiences and aspirati ons of a rapidly expanding urban population. During the economic and polit ical crises of the 1980s and 1990s\, these representations became increasi ngly marked by violence\, instability\, and social fragmentation. In the n eoliberal era\, Lima emerges as a city shaped by market logic and its cont radictions. Drawing on Walter Benjamin’s concept of the flâneur\, this presentation argues that contemporary poetry reimagines Lima as a space wh ere political critique and poetic resistance converge.\n\n \n\nCarlos Vill acorta Gonzáles is a writer and Professor of Latin American Literature at the University of Maine.

Aft er having traveled together in China and across the high seas for several months\, the group gathered in a lodge to bid farewell to the man responsi ble for bringing them together. At the emotional banquet\, poems were comp osed on behalf of the monk Enchin 円珍 (814–891)\, who later became he ad of the Tiantai/Tendai 天台 school of Buddhism in Japan. Enchin’s hi gh status and importance in the history of Japanese Buddhism allowed for t he preservation of eighteen of these poems in a document titled Tōjin sō betsushi narabini sekitoku 唐人送別詩幷尺牘. The poems\, mostly wr itten by merchants from southern China\, provide some distinctive insights into Tang society through their engagement with the themes of Buddhism\, friendship\, scenic beauty\, and even politics. They also constitute some of the earliest extant writings by merchants in East Asia. In examining th ese compositions\, we will see that although many follow contemporary Chin ese trends and conventions\, they also offer rare glimpses into the medioc re and imperfect Tang works that are otherwise lost to posterity. This col loquium will welcome a range of perspectives on the poems\, focusing not o nly on how they align with the poetry of the period\, but also on the ways in which they might be perceived as subpar\, flawed\, or below the high s tandards set by the tiny fraction of esteemed Tang poems preserved in the present day. Of equal importance will be consideration of what these poems can tell us about their writers\, local Chinese society\, religious excha nge\, and\, broadly speaking\, the world in which they were produced.\n\nA bout Cornell Classical Chinese Colloquium\nThe group meets monthly during the semester to explore a variety of classical Chinese texts and styles. O ther premodern texts linked to classical Chinese in Japanese\, Korean\, an d Vietnamese have also been explored. Presentations include works from the earliest times to the 20th century. Workshop sessions are led by local\, national\, and international scholars. Participants with any level of clas sical Chinese experience are welcome to attend. \no At each session\, a presenter guides the group in a reading of a classical Chinese text. Att endees discuss historical\, literary\, linguistic\, and other aspects of t he text\, working together to resolve difficulties in comprehension and tr anslation.\no No preparation is required\; all texts will be distribute d at the meeting.\no Refreshments will be served.

This book demonstrates that medi eval Jewish legal thought was forged in dialogue with various and competin g schools of Islamic law. Herman homes in on the central doctrine of post- biblical Judaism: the notion that God had supplemented the written Hebrew Bible with an Oral Torah. Tracing medieval interpretations of this idea fr om Baghdad to Córdoba to Cairo\, three major centers of medieval Jewish l ife\, Herman reveals previously unrecognized commonalities between Jewish and Islamic constructions of religious law. For medieval Jews and Muslims alike\, legal theory was a primary form of religious self-fashioning\, and as such\, it must be understood in light of the cross-cultural discourses in which it was fashioned.\n\nMarc Herman is an assistant professor in th e Department of Humanities at York University who focuses on Jewish and Is lamic intellectual history in the medieval Mediterranean and Judeo-Arabic law. Marc graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and held postdocto ral fellowships at Columbia University\, Fordham University\, Harvard Univ ersity\, Rutgers University\, the University of Michigan\, the University of Pennsylvania\, and Yale Law School. He is the coeditor of Accounting fo r the Commandments in Medieval Judaism: Studies in Law\, Philosophy\, Piet ism\, and Kabbalah (Brill\, 2021) and Worlds of Jewish Law: Premodern Lega l Cultures in the Making (currently under review). His first book\, After Revelation: The Rabbinic Past in the Medieval Islamic World\, was publishe d by the University of Pennsylvania Press in August 2025. Marc’s current project reconstructs the writing\, rewriting\, and transmission history o f Maimonides’s Book of the Commandments.

They make life worth living. However\, not everyone has equal access to these seemingly free so cial resources. Like many other valuable things in life\, 'social capital' is both a source and a consequence of inequality throughout the populatio n – something that reinforces the status quo and existing social hierarc hies. In Friends and Fortunes\, the authors painstakingly document that th e distribution of social connections in American society is as stark as in come inequality. Through detailed analyses and colorful real-life illustra tions\, they reveal how rich elites hoard both the most prized and the mos t deceptively frivolous social ties. Drawing on over one hundred measures of social capital from dozens of datasets and over one million people\, th ey explain how social networks create a remarkable and omnipresent web of connections that subtly feed hidden systems of power\, prestige\, wealth a nd\, ultimately\, life chances.
