What is the MAGA movement's aesthetic? According to the New York Times' Dan Brooks, it's an aesthetic captured by the generative AI video “Trump Gaza”. Childishly absurd, it's an aesthetic, Brooks suggests, of “bearded belly dancers, an Elon Musk look-alike on the beach and a golden statue of President Trump”. It's not reality, of course. There are neither bearded belly dancers nor golden statues of Trump in Gaza right now. It doesn't even resemble actual MAGA America. But as Brooks notes, the MAGA aesthetic - driven by AI generated visuals - is social and cultural “posturing”. It's the post-ironic irony of social media. Unseriously serious. Designed for Instagram and TikTok. Here are the five KEEN ON AMERICA takeaways in our conversation with Dan Brooks:* The MAGA style employs a unique form of irony - Brooks describes it as "unstable irony" rather than the "stable irony" of traditional satirists like Jonathan Swift or Stephen Colbert. This style mixes sincere statements with exaggerations and jokes in a way that makes it difficult to determine what's meant seriously.* Generative AI has been embraced by MAGA communities - The conversation highlights how conservative online communities have adopted AI technology for creating content (like the Gaza video discussed) at a higher rate than other groups, enabling them to produce visually impressive media quickly that aligns with their messaging style.* The relationship between politics and morality is shifting (duh) - Brooks contrasts his earlier writing about how social media "weaponized morality" with the MAGA approach, which he characterizes as "anti-moral" rather than amoral—a deliberate rejection of or reaction against perceived moralism in American politics.* Politics increasingly operates on "vibes" rather than facts - Brooks suggests that the "fact-based era in politics" may have been an illusion, with voters making decisions based on associations and cultural identity rather than policy specifics or factual information.* Contemporary American culture is saturated in irony - The conversation traces how irony has become embedded in American communication since the mid-90s, when even institutional messaging began adopting an ironic stance. Brooks notes that in current culture, "the worst thing you can be is cringe or overly sincere."Dan Brooks is a contributor to the New York Times Magazine, The Guardian, Harper's, Pitchfork, and other publications.

Tim Lanzendörfer's Utopian Pasts and Futures in the Contemporary American Novel (Edinburgh UP, 2023) highlights the emergence of a literary mode, speculative historism, over the past two decades in U.S. literature. Discussing in depth novels by writers such as Ken Kalfus, Joyce Carol Oates, and Colson Whitehead, among others, it integrates questions of critical method, genre, form, and literary theory, all of which have some urgency today. Addressing itself to the question of how to read this mode through a form of utopian hermeneutics, this study explores the formal constitution, narrative choices, and place in the wider literary market of a mode that it believes to be constitutively important for understanding American literature's struggle with the possibility of imagining hopeful futures.

Step back in time with us as we dissect a pivotal fireside chat from 1943, where FDR discusses his strategic alliances with world leaders during the most dire period of World War II. In an era of entrenched ideology and global turmoil, we examine the complexities of international relationships, the delicate dance of diplomacy with socialist and communist nations, and the critical decisions that shaped Germany's fate post-war. This episode isn't just a history lesson; it's an in-depth reflection on leadership, strategy, and the delicate balance of power during times of great uncertainty and change.However, we're not just about the past. Has our society truly progressed as much as we like to think? The answer may surprise you as we scrutinize the state of elections, schools, and communities in contemporary America. Drawing lessons from history, we consider the necessity of retrospection for progression and the abundance of work yet unfinished. So, buckle up for a thought-provoking journey where the past meets the present and theory meets reality. As always, we're here to challenge assumptions, provoke discussion, and provide a fresh perspective on the issues that matter.

Raye Hendrix, PhD candidate, English, and 2023–24 Dissertation Fellow. My dissertation examines the intersections of contemporary American poetry and invisible, or imperceptible, disabilities. This project centers disabilities that are both physically and socially “invisible” (or misunderstood). For these disabilities there are outward perceptions of “normalcy” until that perception is shattered by way of interruption, or what I term the moment of “rupture.” This project investigates how these disabilities appear in American poetry, focusing on the moments at which they cease to be invisible and “rupture” poetic and social convention.

In Season Five, Episode 51 of the Chris Abraham Show, the host takes the listeners on a profound journey through the complex landscape of modern America. Tackling political divisions, cultural clashes, ethical dilemmas, and religious insights, the episode offers a panoramic view of the nation's struggles. Chris begins with an exploration of right-wing extremism, illustrating the divisive tactics used by political entities. He compares the current political atmosphere to a "salted earth" strategy, which in history has often led to unfruitful and damaged territories. This divide in American politics, he argues, resembles extreme medical treatments that may cause more damage than the ailment itself. The chasm between left and right is not just a political divide but has evolved into a moral and cultural conflict that threatens the unity of the nation. The monologue also focuses on the topic of identity politics, shedding light on the ways in which societal norms are being reshaped. Chris discusses the deliberate undermining of traditional values, posing significant questions about what constitutes normalcy in modern times. He highlights the contradictions and double standards that often manifest within this discourse, adding layers of complexity to societal dialogues. Chris's reflections on foreign policy and neocolonialism connect the internal struggles of the country to the global arena. He compares the exportation of democracy to a form of cultural imperialism, pointing out the irony and hypocrisy in the application of American values abroad. This analogy raises uncomfortable questions about the nation's international role, fueling further debates on ethical governance and humanitarian interventions. A significant portion of the monologue addresses the simmering cold civil war within America. This conflict, Chris argues, has been brought to the forefront by populism, from both the left and right. The polarization and extremism may lead to chaos and destruction, he warns, and without careful navigation, the nation risks spiraling into an uncontrollable crisis. Chris's examination of the chain of command and its breakdown leads to a discussion of moral obligations and individual responsibility. He compares the refusal to follow certain orders to the defense used by those accused of war crimes, inviting the audience to question the boundaries between duty and morality. This segment adds an ethical dimension to the conversation, probing the philosophical underpinnings of civic responsibility. Turning to religion, Chris explores the dichotomy between liberal and conservative viewpoints on faith. He emphasizes the importance of religion in American life, while expressing concern over the erosion of traditional beliefs. The tension between Western liberalism and the preservation of spiritual connection is a recurring theme, with Chris advocating for respect and understanding among differing viewpoints. Despite the presence of atheism in academia, Chris notes the resilience of spiritual connection among the general populace. He delves into the cultural significance of faith and its role in shaping individual identities. He underlines that religious belief, though challenged, remains a vital aspect of the American social fabric, reflecting the country's complex relationship with modernity and tradition. Chris Abraham's monologue provides an enlightening and comprehensive examination of contemporary American society. Through a rich tapestry of historical analogies, personal anecdotes, and incisive observations, he uncovers the multifaceted challenges facing the nation. His insights serve as both a reflection and a call to action, urging listeners to grapple with the questions and tensions that define the present moment. "Navigating the Divides" is a thought-provoking testament to the complexity of our times, offering a balanced perspective on the intricate weave of politics, identity, and values that shape America's current path. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chrisabraham/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chrisabraham/support

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… Dan Buettner joins the show to talk about the origins and food foundations of Blue Zones. He discusses how they were discovered, what makes them different, and what's changed for people living there over the past few decades. And the big question—is it still possible to live to 100?Dan, an explorer, National Geographic Fellow, award-winning journalist and producer, and photographer, has studied and written extensively about the five places in the world—dubbed Blue Zones—where people live the longest, healthiest, and often happiest lives. He's partnered with epidemiologists, anthropologists, medical researchers, demographers, and statisticians to take a data-based approach to everything from genetics to census data.Combining this intensive research with cultural immersion, Dan's brought out aspects of Blue Zones lifestyles—like food and social connection—that form a foundation for human life quality and longevity. He's the bestselling author of a series of Blue Zone books.In Dan's latest Blue Zones adventure, he took a road trip across the United States to explore food and communities. He found that pockets of Blue Zones do exist throughout the U.S. He talked to heritage cooks passing on recipes to younger generations. He uncovered the traditional roots of plant-forward cuisine in the United States and presents both traditional and revolutionary ideas in vegetarian food in his newest book, “The Blue Zones American Kitchen: 100 Recipes to Live to 100.” Stunning photography and recipes show the vitality of both food and people from five distinct areas: Indigenous, Native & Early American, African American, Latin American, Asian American and Regional and Contemporary American.Dan also dug deep into the country's food history and brings to light the dramatic changes in food processing, regulation, government intervention, and leadership choices that have influenced food supply. He combed through 60 oral histories, scientific reports and academic papers to reconstruct traditional American diets. In “The Blue Zones American Kitchen,” you'll find out why the 1970s were the worst decade for America's food environment. WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS. CHECK THEM OUT!

In the twenty-first century, American culture is experiencing a profound shift toward pluralism and secularization. In Fairy Tales in Contemporary American Culture: How We Hate to Love Them (Lexington Books, 2021), Kate Christina Moore Koppy argues that the increasing popularity and presence of fairy tales within American culture is both indicative of and contributing to this shift. By analyzing contemporary fairy tale texts as both new versions in a particular tale type and as wholly new fairy-tale pastiches, Koppy shows that fairy tales have become a key part of American secular scripture, a corpus of shared stories that work to maintain a sense of community among diverse audiences in the United States, as much as biblical scripture and associated texts used to. In this interview with New Books Network, author Kate Koppy and host Carmen Gomez-Galisteo talk about Fairy Tales in Contemporary American Culture: How We Hate to Love Them and how they are relevant in today's society, despite some parents' and educators' misgivings that they may instill traditional, outdated values into children.

Daniela Garcia Hamilton (b.1995) is a first generation Mexican-American painter. Her work revisits the rituals and traditions she experienced as a child of immigrant parents. Color and pattern is integrated throughout her work as she describes the vibrancy of her cultural traditions through portraits of her family members. Settings are fabricated to draw attention to shifts in immigration policies, each shift in color for the backgrounds represents the color her family home in Guanajuato was painted, at the time of the policy change. Contemporary American tile patterns are used as the veil through which she remembers these events. As she went through her higher education at CSULB, she began to reflect on her traditions through the American lens. She received her BFA in Drawing and Painting from CSULB in 2018, shortly after she received her Teaching Credential from there as well. She currently works full time as a High School Art teacher in Thousand Oaks.

On the occasion of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, INSS researcher Adi Kantor sits down with Prof. Alvin H. Rosenfeld, professor of English and Jewish Studies at Indiana University. Prof. Rosenfeld holds the Irving M. Glazer Chair in Jewish Studies and is director of the University's Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism. He is also the author of "How Are American Jews Faring in an Era of Rising Antisemitism?" which was published in the framework of the INSS collection of articles Contemporary Antisemitism in the United States. The podcast looks at the phenomenon of antisemitism in contemporary American society and asks: Why has antisemitism increased so rapidly in recent years? What are the similarities as well as the differences between the far right and the far left movements in the US today? Why did American institutional leaders fail to condemn antisemitic attacks in the US this past year? How has antisemitism affected the Jewish communities? And how does Prof. Rosenfeld see the future of the relations between American Jews and American society in the upcoming years?

Determined to dig deeper into the definition of American Folk music as part of his extensive doctoral studies, Saporiti began to explore his own family's history, pore over archival material, and conduct interviews; what he found were the untold musical stories of Asian American artists like himself. He transformed his research into concerts, albums, and films to create the immersive multimedia experience known as No-No Boy. In Town Hall's 113th episode of the In the Moment podcast, musician and former Town Hall Artist-in-Resident Tomo Nakayama talks with Saporiti about lyric writing, inspiration, and the art of making music not only as Asian Americans, but also as Americans. Julian Saporiti is the Vietnamese American songwriter, scholar, and creator of the multimedia musical experience, No-No Boy. His art and music reflect issues such as race, refugees, and immigration, allowing audience members to sit with complication as music and visuals open doorways to difficult histories. Saporiti has taught courses in songwriting, music, literature, history, Asian American Studies, and ethnic studies at the University of Wyoming, Colorado College, and Brown University and has served as artist/scholar in residence at many universities and high schools across the country. Saporiti holds degrees from Berklee College of Music, University of Wyoming, and Brown University, and has been commissioned by cultural institutions such as Lincoln Center, the LA Philharmonic, the National Parks, and Carnegie Hall. His latest album, 1975, was released by Smithsonian Folkways earlier this year. Tomo Nakayama is an artist whose melodic, complex, and emotionally compelling music has been praised by NPR, New York Times, and The Stranger. His albums include Fog on the Lens, Pieces of Sky (named “Best Folk Act” by Seattle Weekly), and Melonday, which was named one of the Top Albums of 2020 by Seattle Times, KEXP, and Seattle Met.

This is my definition of suffering: Living through bad circumstances that you are unable to change. These days, we face two HUGE problems with regard to suffering: 1.  It is inevitable in every human life. 2.  Contemporary American culture has absolutely no idea what to do about it. Guess what? God's word has a way forward for us.  Turns out the Apostle Paul knew a lot about suffering, namely that, in Christ, SUFFERING leads to PERSEVERANCE which leads to CHARACTER which leads to HOPE which does not disappoint.   Preacher: Andrew Forrest Series: Romans

¡Hola Clase! Hoy es un día emocionante. Hemos llegado a uno de los episodios legendarios de nuestra querida serie: el de la Mafia de los Dedos de Pollo, conocido por los fans como “Chickenfellas”, debido al homenaje a las películas de Martin Scorsese, en particular, “Buenos Muchachos” (Goodfellas, 1990). Deleitémonos una vez más observando cómo nuestro querido grupo de estudios se corrompe por completo ante el poder y la avaricia que genera el control de la oferta culinaria en Greendale. Esperamos que lo disfruten tanto como nosotros. Les mandamos un gran abrazo queridos seres humanos. #CommunityEsVida

The burnout rates of medical professionals in 2020 have turned our attention to the fact that those who care for others must also care for themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally if they wish to continue being effective. Although it is agreed that self-care is important, our cultural understanding of how we view and care for “self” has changed over time. Contemporary American culture assumes that self-care isn't just a good thing but a human right that is worth pursuing no matter the time or cost involved. In pursuing the embodiment of our idealized selves, we are told to “just do you.” This modern notion of self-care contrasts sharply with the ideal of conforming into Christ's image, which includes belief in objective truth, self-sacrifice, reliance on God, and putting others' needs before our own. In Genesis 3, Adam and Eve embraced “self-hood” when they chose to care for themselves rather than accept God's provision. The remedy for a commitment to “self” that ultimately separates the “self” from God forever is to let it go — to die to self — and walk in the way of the cross. This isn't just any death; therefore, the life offered is no ordinary life. The way of the cross is to embrace and surrender to the death of Jesus, which was an efficacious death that destroyed the very power of death. In terms of wellness, this is the only true holistic cure for the emotional, social, intellectual, physical, and, most importantly, eternal needs of the person.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Anne Kennedy about her article in the 43:2 issue of the Journal, entitled, “There Is No Health in Us: Wellness and Self-Care in the Age of COVID-19.” https://www.equip.org/christian-research-journal/out-of-the-ashes-at-ground-zero/We'd also like to invite you to subscribe to the Journal.

Contemporary American evangelism, where it even exists, is programmatic and trite. Most unbelievers have been inoculated to typical religious sales pitches already. What is required today for church growth and advancement is an authentic testimony of biblical truth and personal experience animated by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

This week we're doing a mafia movie, but it's all about chicken fingers instead of whatever mafia guys do. Sorry. We didn't see Goodfellas so we have no idea what mafia guys do. Sorry, Greg. The team takes over the schools' supply of chicken fingers and frankly, we get hungry for chicken fingers. Meanwhile, we go on a big rant about pizza. It's a food heavy episode. Also we talk about lots of other stuff but mostly it's chicken fingers and pizza. Ben makes a pizza enemy. Mike's Facebook profile photo is a landscape.

Let's Talk About Satan: SatanismThroughout Modern American Music From Classical to Heavy Metal to Rap And Beyond Regarding Satanism...Religious studies scholars say "the very definition of the term "has a history of being a designation made by people against those whom they dislike; it is a term used for 'othering'." In the Bible,  "Satan" was used as an ordinary noun meaning "the adversary." In this episode, we explore some of the history of satanism in American music. What's the story behind the evil lyrics, and satanic iconography in heavy metal and rap over the decades? We'll discuss artists from Black Sabbath to Big L, from Three 6 Mafia to Billie Eilish, and more. The Devil's Chord Anton Lavey on the keysCredit: Church of Satan It would be heavy metal that took the Devils Chord and ran like a bat out of hell with it, with numerous metal bands such as Metallics, Slipknot, and Slayer, who even named their 1998 album Diabolus in Musica. But it was Black Sabbath, perhaps more than any other modern band that made the Devils Chord part of American mainstream. Black Sabbath, circa 1977Credit: Trinity Mirror ""Big L would later be cited as one of the pioneers of the rap subgenre known as horrorcore, a hybrid of gansta rap  which incorporated horror themes, Satanic iconography, and shock lyrics, and grew in popularity in the late 90s.

It's Thursday, and theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins us for another of her weekly reviews of the regional stage.

Today on Midday, theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck ventures a bit beyond Charm City, as she shares her thoughts on the roster of new plays at the 2018 Contemporary American Theater Festival at Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, West Virginia -- about a 90-minute drive from Baltimore.This year's CATF is featuring six powerful new plays, each portraying aspects of contemporary life through tragedy, romance, drama, and comedy: ----The Cake,---- ----Memoirs of a Forgotten Man,---- ----Thirst,---- ----The House on the Hill,---- ----Berta, Berta,---- and ----A Late Morning (in America) with Ronald Reagan.----Rousuck notes two standouts among the new CATF offerings: In “Berta, Berta,” directed by Reginald L. Douglas, playwright Angelica Cheri creates a backstory for an American work song. Set in 1920s Mississippi, Cheri's prison pipeline account focuses on a widow and her former lover, who has done time in Mississippi’s notorious Parchman prison and fully expects to go back. Rousuck says though “Berta, Berta” contains seeds of hope, it will break your heart.And the political thriller, ----Memoirs of a Forgotten Man,---- written by D.W. Gregory and directed by Ed Herendeen, takes viewers back to Soviet Russia where the fates of a journalist, psychologist, and government censor become entwined as victims and collaborators in Stalin’s campaign to rewrite public memory. The Contemporary American Theater Festival continues at Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, through Sunday, July 29th.

This week, we hear from Jess Row, a Pushcart Prize and PEN/O’Henry award winning author who Granta named a "Best Young American Novelist" in 2007. Row's novel "Your Face in Mine" imagines a world in which racial reassignment surgery is a possibility, even a commonplace. In The New York Times, Dwight Garner writes that "Your Face in Mine" "puts [Row] on another level as an artist. He doesn’t shy away from the hard intellectual and moral questions his story raises, or from grainy philosophical dialogue, but he submerges these things in a narrative that burns with a steady flame. There’s some Jonathan Lethem in Mr. Row’s street-level awareness of culture. There’s some Saul Bellow in his needling intelligence."

Paul Beatty's The Sellout and Colson Whitehead's The Underground Railroad are two of the most talked about American titles of the past few years, with Paul Beatty winning the Booker Prize in 2016 and Colson Whitehead taking home the 2016 National Book Award. This week, Stephanie and Michelle discuss The Sellout and The Underground Railroad, and think about why these books have resonated so widely with audiences around the world at this particular moment in time. In this episode, Stephanie predicts that The Underground Railroad will win the Pulitzer Prize, which has now come to pass. Stephanie enjoys being right.

Lawrence Block (born June 24, 1938) is an acclaimed contemporary American crime writer who has been writing crime, mystery, and suspense fiction for more than half a century. He has published in excess of 100 books, and no end of short stories. Block has also published under pseudonyms including Jill Emerson, John Warren Wells, Lesley Evans, and Anne Campbell Clarke. Block's major series, humorous and much lighter in tone, relates the misadventures of gentleman burglar Bernie Rhodenbarr. The series is rich in sophisticated dialogue, wit and cynicism. Besides Scudder and Rhodenbarr, Block has written eight novels about Evan Tanner, an adventurer and accidental revolutionary who, as a result of an injury sustained in the Korean War, cannot sleep. In our interview he talks about working (as editor) with authors Michael Connelly, Joyce Carol Oates, Robert Owen Butler, Stephen King, Lee Child, Megan Abbott, Joe R.

Contemporary American culture, however, holds a much more optimistic view of human moral capabilities than does the Bible, and this has unfortunately crept into churches. How else to explain the fact that a religion based on acknowledging our own faults and shortcomings has become widely associated with extraordinary judgmentalism and self-righteousness?…American Christianity now is in...

Contemporary American political culture is arguably more divisive than ever before. Blue states are bluer, red states are redder, and purple states are becoming harder and harder to find. Because of this divisiveness, teaching social studies and civics education has now become an overwhelmingly difficult task. Should a teacher share political leanings? How can teachers ensure that students are learning a wide political spectrum? Diana Hess and Paula McAvoy set out to answer these questions and more in The Political Classroom: Evidence and Ethics in Democratic Education (Routledge 2014), from the Critical Social Thought series.

Contemporary American political culture is arguably more divisive than ever before. Blue states are bluer, red states are redder, and purple states are becoming harder and harder to find. Because of this divisiveness, teaching social studies and civics education has now become an overwhelmingly difficult task. Should a teacher share political leanings? How can teachers ensure that students are learning a wide political spectrum? Diana Hess and Paula McAvoy set out to answer these questions and more in The Political Classroom: Evidence and Ethics in Democratic Education (Routledge 2014), from the Critical Social Thought series.

Go behind Annisa on a brand new episode of Radio Cherry Bombe. Host Julia Turshen is joined by Executive Chef Anita Lo and her sous chef Mary Attea. Anita Lo is the chef and owner of Annisa and one of the most respected chefs in the country having earned numerous accolades for her inventive Contemporary American cuisine. Lo opened Annisa in 2000, an intimate restaurant in Greenwich Village. In June 2009, a fire destroyed the restaurant entirely and while plans for rebuilding Annisa got underway, Lo appeared on Top Chef Masters and finished fourth out of 24 chefs. In April 2010, after a complete renovation, Annisa was reopened and then in October 2011, Lo released her first cookbook, Cooking Without Borders, which highlights her passion for bringing multicultural flavors to her American kitchen. Just recently nominated as a semi-finalist for Eater’s coveted Young Guns awards, Mary spent several years working in New York city restaurant dining rooms like Aguagrill, before making the leap to the kitchen at Annisa where she earned her chops. Using her Lebanese background, Mary has even helped to create some dishes at Annisa including her Steak Tartare and Saddle of Rabbit with Pistachio, Mint and Grape Leaves, which were recently praised in Pete Wells’ review. This program was brought to you by Edwards VA Ham “It’s important to me that my cooks be excited by new things.” [12:00] “I’ve always felt it was my responsibility to mentor anybody who came through my kitchen and did well for me. It’s a point of pride to see people on your staff make it.” [21:00] — Anita Lo on Radio Cherry Bombe

Video interview with the collectors Chuck and Jan Rosenak produced for the Luce Foundation Center in the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

The Park Avenue Synagogue Lecture Series: The Shifting Landscape of American Jewry In every generation,the survival of the Jewish people has depended on our ability to remain rooted in the wellsprings of Jewish vitality, while adapting to the changing conditions in which we live. Our age is no different. A commitment to a dynamic Jewish future demands an open and honest conversation about the tectonic shifts occurring beneath our feet. Do the institutions, ideologies and denominations of American Jewry of the last century recommend themselves for the next one? Does the alphabet soup of current American Jewish organizational life recommend itself to the Jewish future? Are the operating assumptions of American Jews today the same as those of past generations? If not, how – if at all – is the Jewish community adapting to these new conditions? This year, our community will seek to understand a variety of transformations taking place in American Jewry. Through a series of dialogues, Shabbat dinners and guest lectures, we will assess the journey traveled, openly consider our present station in the arc of Jewish history and begin to construct a series of recommendations for a dynamic future. November 13: Dor L’Dor: Changes, Challenges, and Opportunities in Contemporary American Jewry with Ari Y. Kelman, Stanford University, and Jack Wertheimer, Jewish Theological Seminary.

Al Filreis has taught his “ModPo” course at Penn for years; in Fall 2012 he offered a 10-week version of the course online, via Coursera, to more than 36,000 students. The course, as in its previous versions, does not include lectures, being based instead on discussion – the collaborative close readings of poems. The course grows out of Filreis’s work at the Kelly Writers House; he has been Faculty Director of this literary freespace since its founding in 1995. Filreis is also co-founder of PennSound, the Web’s main free archive of poetry readings, publisher of Jacket2 magazine, and producer and host of “PoemTalk,” a podcast/radio series of close readings of poems. In conversation with Nick Montfort, Filreis will discuss ModPo and his perspective on writing, teaching, and digital media. Filreis is Kelly Professor of English and Director of the Center for Programs in Contemporary Writing at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of Wallace Stevens and the Actual World, Modernism from Right to Left, Counter-Revolution of the Word: The Conservative Attack on Modernism, 1945-60, and other works. He was chosen as Pennsylvania Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation in 2000. Part of the Purple Blurb series, and co-sponsored by the SHASS Dean’s Office and the Literature Section.
