class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>Tampere University’s “Urban Research Perspectives” blog published my blogpost on the workshop “Civic Cities – Sustainable Cities” which I organized last November in Helsinki. </p> <p>Blogpost, link below:</p> <p><a href="https://blogs.tuni.fi/urbanresearch/event/turns-workshop-civic-cities-sustainable-cities-in-oodi-helsinki">https://blogs.tuni.fi/urbanresearch/event/turns-workshop-civic-cities-sustainable-cities-in-oodi-helsinki</a></p> <p><strong>TURNS Workshop “Civic Cities – Sustainable Cities” in Oodi, Helsinki</strong></p> <p>This workshop funded by TURNS was organized in the Helsinki city library on 22 November with the aim to discuss how the humanities can contribute to more civic and more sustainable cities. The workshop also contributed to the development of an ERC bid on the topic.</p> <p>TURNS-funding enabled the organization of the workshop “Civic Cities – Sustainable Cities” on 22 November 2024, in Helsinki’s new central city library Oodi. The aim of the workshop was to bring together scholars from different backgrounds and think together about how approaches from the humanities – and from literary studies, in particular – can contribute to our knowledge of how civic interaction takes place in contemporary urban communities, and how literary and narrative forms of dialogue can inform the necessary work to move towards more sustainable cities. The workshop was organized by Lieven Ameel, senior lecturer in comparative literature at Tampere University. The discussions were structured in such a way that they also contributed to his ERC bid, which touched on several of these themes.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image" id="attachment_266"><img decoding="async" src="https://blogs.tuni.fi/uploads/2025/01/2025/01/2025/01/2025/01/24bfcb54-helsingin_keskustakirjasto_oodi_2022-09-16_06-1024x684.jpg" alt="Image of Oodi building in Helsinki" class="wp-image-266" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Oodi, Helsinki city’s central library.

Wikimedia commons.</figcaption></figure> <p>The workshop began informally on the previous day, 21 November, with a visit to “<a href="https://puistokatu4.fi/en/about/">Puistokatu 4</a>”. Puistokatu 4 is an inspiring example of a civic “third place”: it is an environment that operates on the level of community of researchers, artists, and more, and also as a convener for everyone “interested in participating in a more ecologically sustainable future”.</p> <p>On 22 November, we began our workshop with a brief tour of Oodi. The morning session was kicked off with research presentations. Dr. Dominic Davies from City, University of London, presented recent work in the field of the “infrastructure humanities”, and his ongoing collaborations with activists, politicians, and urban communities. These include the recently founded “<a href="https://soundcloud.com/ttinfrastructurenetwork/when-nothing-works">Thinking Through Infrastructure Network</a>”, as well as collaborations with graphic artists in community engagement, in the context of energy shifts towards more sustainable cities. Dr. Irène Langlet from the University Gustave Eiffel, Paris, presented her work as head of <a href="https://parvis.hypotheses.org/">PARVIS</a> an interdisciplinary project that consisted in ‘studying representations of the future city, in order to identify the multifaceted futuristic urban imaginaries, particularly in terms of climate change’, with a research team of ‘a multidisciplinary group of researchers (literature, arts, social sciences, architecture, digital humanities) and civil society actors (NGOs working on climate framing)’. Langlet also introduced her current work on emerging literary genres such as climate fiction, and their relevance for thinking about more sustainable futures.</p> <p>During lunch, two other participants briefly presented their work: Anna Kuutsa from Tampere University talked about her work (see more <a href="https://www.tuni.fi/fi/ajankohtaista/anna-kuutsa-maria-jotunin-dialogikerronta-kommentoi-naisten-yhteiskunnallista-asemaa">here</a>) on literary dialogue and Natalya Bekhta, Academy research fellow at Tampere University, discussed her recent work (see more <a href="https://research.tuni.fi/tampere-ias/research-fellows-2022-2024/natalya-bekhta/">here</a>) on topics including we-narratives, utopia, and world literature theory.</p> <p>After lunch and a walk in the vicinity to give the visitors the opportunity to get a sense of the city, the workshop continued with a brainstorm on the basis of the ERC-COG research proposal presented by Lieven Ameel. Central to the discussion were questions around the methods and theory available to literary studies to examine the civic practices of contemporary urban communities towards more sustainable cities. At the background of this focus are several new and emerging research fields, including “literary urban studies”, the “infrastructural humanities”, but also the re-emergence of the “public humanities”, based “at the intersection of humanities scholarship and public life” (see more<a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/blog/2024/10/30/a-flagship-venture-in-humanities/"> here</a>).</p> <p>The final part of the workshop considered concrete ways to cement the discussion of the day into concrete collaboration in the years to come.</p> <p>The day ended with an invigorating sauna at Löyly, on the shore of the Baltic Sea.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image" id="attachment_267"><img decoding="async" src="https://blogs.tuni.fi/uploads/2025/01/2025/01/2025/01/2025/01/275d376c-workshop-image-1024x768.jpeg" alt="Image of the workshop activity." class="wp-image-267" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Workshop in full swing.

The schedule was kept light on purpose, with the aim to provide maximum time for open discussions and space for considering new perspectives and unexpected outcomes.</p> <p>Many thanks to TURNS for making this workshop possible, and to all participants for donating one of the most precious resources in academic life: time!</p> <p><strong><em>Lieven Ameel </em></strong><em>is a senior lecturer in comparative literature at the Faculty of Social Sciences at Tampere University.

Literary Perspectives on Cities on the Water”. My talk drew on my recently completed research project about future visions of cities on the water across literary genres, which focused on New York City, Helsinki, and coastal cities in Belgium and the Netherlands.</p> <p>Summarizing the conclusions of my talk, in brief: contemporary literary representations of future cities on the water constitute an important repository of painful losses (material, communal, social) but also of hopeful and redemptive infrastructure. Redemptive plots provide one complex and overlooked narrative form to think of future cities; such redemptive plots tend to be resonant and empowering, but can also be seen as hiding from sight exclusionary or silencing mechanisms, and as ignoring the impossibility of full restoration or atonement, especially in the context of climate catastrophe, species collapse and rising sea waters.</p> <p>On the second day of the conference, I will lead a workshop on “Literary and Cultural Approaches to Place-based City Knowledge” (in association with the Association for Literary Urban Studies). Looking forward to the papers and to what promises to be a lively discussion!</p> <p>Thanks to Klaudia Lee and to all other conference conveners and everyone at City University Hong Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong for putting together this brilliant conference!

It focuses especially on the so-called Six dynasties<br>period (220–589 CE) and the Tang dynasty (618–907 CE). Chinese landscape<br>poetry in its present-day sense came into being during the fourth and the fifth<br>centuries. Metrical shi poetry reached its maturity during the Tang which is widely<br>known as the golden era of Chinese poetry.<br>The object of my study is a group of classical Chinese poems which illustrate<br>the basic principles of Chinese nature philosophy and simultaneously demonstrate<br>the variety and richness of the Chinese poetic tradition. I pay special attention to<br>the poetry of Wang Wei, Wei Yingwu and Tao Qian through which different<br>conceptual dimensions of the Chinese landscape become apparent. Wang is known<br>particularly for his quatrains depicting the realm of wild nature. Wei wrote poems<br>in which the landscape emerges out of the imagination while, in his verses, Tao<br>described the Chinese agrarian milieu and the way of life associated with it.”</p> <p>Image: Lige Sun</p> <p></p> <p></p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://lievenameel.hypotheses.org/category/uncategorized" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a> on <a href="https://lievenameel.hypotheses.org/2202" title="12:14" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2024-10-04T12:14:23+02:00">04/10/2024</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://lievenameel.hypotheses.org/author/lievenameel" title="View all posts by Lieven Ameel" rel="author">Lieven Ameel</a></span></span>. </footer> </article> <article id="post-2187" class="post-2187 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://lievenameel.hypotheses.org/2187" rel="bookmark">“Rethinking Epiphany – Perspectives from the Fringes” – Tampere 13 September 2024</a> </h1> <div class="comments-link"> <a href="https://lievenameel.hypotheses.org/2187#respond"><span class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>Wide-ranging set of topics today at Tampere University as part of the symposium “Rethinking Epiphany – Perspectives from the Fringes”, from medieval mysticism and epiphany in Belgo-French rap to epiphany in Kierkegaard.

Epiphany has been associated particularly with modernist literature, and with the foregrounding of powerful moments of heightened significance in the works of Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, and their contemporaries. This symposium considers the legacy of such “moments of being” (Woolf 1939) and proposes new perspectives to challenge or enrich our understanding of modernist forms of epiphany. It is particularly interested in interdisciplinary approaches to the study of epiphanies, as well as in how perspectives from the fringes add to our understanding of epiphany.</p> <p>Symposium in collaboration with Fringe Network, University of Alcalá, Narrare research center</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://events.tuni.fi/uploads/sites/1317/1317/13/533982c9-narrare.png" alt="Labyrinth" class="wp-image-847" /></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://events.tuni.fi/uploads/sites/1317/1317/13/3e5f95ff-alcala.png" alt="University logo" class="wp-image-846" /></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://events.tuni.fi/uploads/sites/1317/1317/13/a1262ae5-fringe.png" alt="Large F" class="wp-image-845" /></figure> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://lievenameel.hypotheses.org/category/uncategorized" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a> on <a href="https://lievenameel.hypotheses.org/2187" title="13:53" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2024-09-13T13:53:26+02:00">13/09/2024</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://lievenameel.hypotheses.org/author/lievenameel" title="View all posts by Lieven Ameel" rel="author">Lieven Ameel</a></span></span>. </footer> </article> <article id="post-2162" class="post-2162 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://lievenameel.hypotheses.org/2162" rel="bookmark">Narrative and Sustainability Workshop</a> </h1> <div class="comments-link"> <a href="https://lievenameel.hypotheses.org/2162#respond"><span class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>Teaching a workshop today (15 August 2024) with students from Vancouver’s Simon Fraser University.

How do narratives of decline lay the grou ndwork for narratives of gentrification, and for the neighborhood in literature as a site for community and displacement? These questions will be examined with reference to Paule Marshall’s Brown Girl, Brownstones (1959), Philip Roth’s Zuckerman Unbound (1981), Colson Whitehead’s The Intuitionist (1999), and Jonathan Lethem’s The Fortress of Solitude (2003).<br>Drawing on the work of Carlo Rotella and Blanche Gelfant, and more recently, Thomas Heise, Hanna Henryson and Davy Knittle, I look at the narrative forms used to describe changing neighborhoods.

How is it being transformed in the twenty-first century? And what new literary forms are being developed in European cultural peripheries? This course addresses these questions by offering a broad introduction to new formalism and contemporary theories of world literature, and through a series of diverse literary readings. The focus of the literary readings will be on literature beyond the current centres of the international literary field, especially literature from continental European peripheries: texts from Ukrainian and Polish contexts, from rural France and the Swedish smalltown, among others. The texts will be read in excerpts in English translation.</p> <p>Literary texts will act as key resources and the students will be asked to actively reflect on the ways literary forms are tied to the socio-cultural functions of literary works. Regular theory reading and active participation are required. The evaluation will be based on participation, course work, and an open-book exam.</p> <p>The course will provide students with a thorough understanding of contemporary debates on literary form and world literature, and will enable to understand how new literature from beyond the centres is pushing the boundaries of the contemporary novel. The overall objective of the course is to help shape a better awareness of literature as an integral part of society and a key element of the way we construct notions of identity, memory, language, ethics, politics – and, in short, social reality.</p> <p><strong>Course outline</strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline">1.Introduction 1</span><br /> Introduction.
