SUMMARY:Unscripted America - Indigenous Languages and the Origins of a Literary Nation
DESCRIPTION:In 1664\, French Jesuit Louis Nicolas arrived in Quebec. Upon first hearing Ojibwe\, Nicolas observed that he had encountered the most barbaric language in the world–but after listening to and studying approximately fifteen Algonquian languages over a ten-year period\, he wrote that he had “discovered all of the secrets of the most beautiful languages in the universe.” Please join us for a conversation about the way in which colonists in North America struggled to understand\, translate\, and interpret Native American languages\, and the significance of these languages for theological and cosmological issues such as the origins of Amerindian populations\, their relationship to Eurasian and Biblical peoples\, and the origins of language itself. Full event details.

SUMMARY:Bridge of Words: Esperanto and the Dream of the Universal Language
DESCRIPTION:In 1887\, Ludwig Lazarus Zamenhof\, a Polish Jew\, had the idea of putting an end to tribalism by creating a universal language\, one that would be equally accessible to everyone in the world. The result was Esperanto\, a utopian scheme full of the brilliance\, craziness\, and grandiosity that characterize all such messianic visions. We invite you to a discussion of Professor Schor’s rich and passionate biography of a language and the dream of world harmony it sought to realize. The author will be joined by her colleague\, historian Martha Sandweiss. Full event details. \nEsther Schor is the author of Emma Lazarus\, which received a 2006 National Jewish Book Award\, and the editor of the Cambridge Companion to Mary Shelley. Her essays and reviews have appeared in the New York Times Book Review\, the Times Literary Supplement\, and The Forward\, among other publications. Her first collection of poems\, The Hills of Holland\, was a nominee for the Los Angeles Times Book Awards. She is professor of English at Princeton University. Martha Sandweiss is Professor of History at Princeton. She the author or editor of numerous books. They include Passing Strange: A Gilded Age Tale of Love and Deception across the Color Line\, and Print the Legend: Photography and the American West.
