SUMMARY:Charles C. Mann Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Charles C. Mann is the author of 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus\, which won the U. S. National Academy of Sciences’ Keck Award for best book of the year and 1493; Uncovering the World That Columbus Created\, a New York Times bestseller. 1491 combines science\, history\, and archaeology to radically transform our understanding of the Americas before European contact. 1493 looks at the aftermath of exchange—plants\, animals and microbes—and the impact of contact on Europe\, China and Africa. Mann’s works are thought provoking and inform not just the past\, but the future. \nMann’s books 1491; 1493 and his latest book\, The Wizard and the Prophet (2018) will be available for sale and autographing following the lecture. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Life of Ideas\, Notions\, and Concepts with Guest Enzo Traverso*
DESCRIPTION:Enzo Traverso\, the Susan and Barton Winokur Professor in the Humanities at Cornell University\, will be giving a talk titled “Burdens of the Past. The Age of Left-Wing Melancholia.” \n\nThe talk is part of a yearlong talk series “Life of Ideas\, Notions\, and Concepts” curated by MHC faculty board member Frédéric Rondeau which included fall and spring panels of UMaine faculty\, as well as upcoming guest speaker Éric Méchoulan. \nEnzo Traverso was born in Italy\, studied history at the University of Genoa and received his PhD from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) of Paris in 1989. He has taught political science in France and been visiting professor in several European and Latin American countries. In 2013 he became the Susan and Barton Winokur Professor in the Humanities at Cornell University. His publications\, translated into a dozen languages\, include The Jews and Germany (1995)\, The Origins of Nazi Violence (2003)\, Fire and Blood: The European Civil War 1914-1945 (2015)\, The End of Jewish Modernity (2016). \nTraverso will talk about his latest book: Left-Wing Melancholia: Marxism\, History\, and Memory (New York: Columbia UP\, 2017) \nFrom the back jacket : \nThroughout the twentieth century\, argues Left-Wing Melancholia\, from classical Marxism to psychoanalysis to the advent of critical theory\, a culture of defeat and its emotional overlay of melancholy have characterized the leftist understanding of the political in history and in theoretical critique. \nDrawing on a vast and diverse archive in theory\, testimony\, and image and on such thinkers as Karl Marx\, Walter Benjamin\, Theodor W. Adorno\, and others . . . Traverso explores the varying nature of left melancholy as it has manifested in a feeling of guilt for not sufficiently challenging authority\, in a fear of surrendering in disarray and resignation\, in mourning the human costs of the past\, and in a sense of failure for not realizing utopian aspirations. Yet hidden within this melancholic tradition are the resources for a renewed challenge to prevailing regimes of historicity\, a passion that has the power to reignite the dialectic of revolutionary thought. \nEnzo Traverso’s March 29 talk will take place at the Allen and Sally Fernald APPE space\, Stewart Commons IMRC. Refreshments will be served. \nPart of the McGillicuddy Humanities Center’s 2017-2018 symposium Juvenescence/Obsolescence: Humanities Approaches to Aging across the Ages.
