Prof. Agnieszka Graff
Czego możemy nauczyć się z historii drugiej fali feminizmu?

W filmie „Town Bloody Hall” przyglądamy się emocjonującej dyskusji, która odbyła się 30 kwietnia 1971 w nowojorskim ratuszu między reprezentacją feministek: legendarną krytyczką literacką Diana Trilling, dziennikarką i rzeczniczką lesbijek Jill Johnston, prezeską Narodowej Organizacji Kobiet Jacqueline Ceballos, pisarką Germaine Greer a zgryźliwym Normanem Mailerem. Spotkaniu przysłuchiwała się Susan Sontag, zabierając głos z sali. Jakich strategii walki o prawa kobiet możemy się nauczyć od bohaterek filmu? Jakiej dyskusji dziś potrzebujemy? Na te pytania, wyjaśniając kontekst powstania „Town Bloody Hall”, odpowie dr hab. Agnieszka Graff. Spotkanie i projekcja filmu „Town Bloody Hall” zamykają program retrospektywy Susan Sontag, będąc kontekstem twórczości eseistki.

American Studies Colloquium Series

April 3: Gatekeeping, Paranoid Professionalism, and Redefining Literacy: How US Librarians Fought, Found, and Loved Comic Books

March 20, 2025

We are pleased to invite you to the third lecture of the American Studies Colloquium Series in the 2025 Spring semester! In this talk, we will look at how US librarians fought against comic books as though libraries were the last line of defense in a vital war. We will examine the existential threat that librarians perceived comics to pose in the mid-century and the gradual, nervous thawing of that opposition in the 1970s and 1980s.
