But Mexican philosophy, which came into focus in the last century, following the Mexican Revolution, is a rich and wide-ranging tradition with much to offer readers today. Emerging in defiance of the Western philosophy bound up with colonial power―it boasts a range of powerful ideas and advice for modern-day life.Here’s a PDF to share.Want more information?

Motherlands: Weijia Pan, Dare Williams & Sara Ellen Fowler

Beyond Baroque Literary Arts Center 681 Venice Blvd, Venice Beach, Los Angeles, CA, United States

Join us for a night of work from Weijia Pan, Dare Williams & Sara Ellen Fowler.Chosen by Louise Glück for the Max Ritvo Poetry Prize, Motherlands, by Weijia Pan, is an engrossing debut that interrogates history, identity, and the power of poetry to elucidate both.Motherlands opens with a child drawn early to poetry. “In summer I write. Two lines at a time, two vying souls / running up the wall.” The collection follows this speaker-poet through a childhood in post-Maoist China and an eventual move to the United States, laying bare cultural and linguistic tensions in both historical and modern settings. He cites Chinese laborers toiling in American factories—an echo of the brutalities endured by those who constructed the Transatlantic Railroad—and speaks to anxieties around belonging, assimilation, and identity.In these attentive, imaginative poems, Weijia Pan questions the artist’s duty—his duty—as a chronicler of truth, especially through issues of displacement and global injustice. What can the poet do but observe? And yet, in unpacking ancestral traumas connected to Maoist China and modern-day bigotry exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, he still finds himself turning to art as a way to understand both the self and the world at large. Through elegant juxtapositions, Read More ...

A Conversation Between Writer Susan Minot and Actor/Producer Griffin Dunne

Mark Taper Auditorium - Central Library 630 W 5th St, Los Angeles, CA 90071, Los Angeles, CA, United States

Enjoy an intimate conversation between the award-winning novelist, poet, playwright, and screenwriter Susan Minot and actor, director...Wednesday, November 20 at 7:00PMA conversation between writer Susan Minot and actor/producer Griffin Dunne: Discussing their new booksEnjoy an intimate conversation between the award-winning novelist, poet, playwright, and screenwriter Susan Minot and actor, director, and producer Griffin Dunne. These two close friends will discuss their books. Minot’s engrossing new novel, Don’t Be A Stranger and Griffin Dunne’s poignant memoir, The Friday Afternoon Club.Don’t Be a Stranger is the story of a woman swept into a love affair at mid-life. With spellbinding prose, Minot has crafted a luminous novel about erotic obsession, and the hunger for intimacy, communication, oblivion. Don’t Be a Stranger is a gripping, sensual, and provocative work from one of the most remarkable voices in contemporary fiction.For all its boldface cast of characters and jaw-dropping scenes, The Friday Afternoon Club is no mere celebrity memoir. It is, down to its bones, a family story that embraces the poignant absurdities and best and worst efforts of its loveable, infuriating, funny, and moving characters—its author most of all.

Religion, Democracy, & the 2024 Elections

514 W Adams Blvd 514 West Adams Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA, United States

Processing What Happened and Preparing for What's Next2024 is the first presidential election since the January 6th insurrection, raising important questions about what will happen in the days and months after election day on November 5th.

This event will gather an illustrious group of scholars and leaders to help process what happened — and prepare for what's next.Sponsored by Americans United For Separation of Church and State and USC Knight Program in Media and Religion.Panel 1: Andrew L.
