DESCRIPTION:The Division of Literatures\, Cultures\, and Languages (DLCL) w
 armly invites you to an online lecture and panel discussion featuring Kari
 na Skår von Remba and her concept of Resonance Poetry — an innovative a
 pproach to contemporary poetry that understands literature as a participat
 ory\, socially engaged\, and democratically responsive practice.\n\nThe ev
 ent will begin with a keynote lecture by Karina Skår von Remba\, followed
  by a moderated panel discussion bringing together scholars and poets from
  Stanford University. Together\, the speakers will explore questions of po
 etic language\, difficulty\, translation\, participation\, and the social 
 role of literature in times of political and cultural transformation.\n\nR
 esonance Poetry examines how language can respond to the complexities and 
 fractures of the present by engaging expressive limits while creating spac
 es for participation and dialogue. Central to the concept is the critique 
 of what Skår von Remba terms a “silentium democraticum” — a conditi
 on of democratic silence that contemporary poetry can challenge through re
 newed cultural and civic engagement.\n\nThe panel features:\n\nKarina Skå
 r von Remba (Keynote Speaker)\, whose work on Resonance Poetry explores li
 terature as a form of democratic participation and cultural engagement.Gil
 ad Shiram (Ph.D. Student in German Studies\, Stanford University)\, whose 
 research explores twentieth-century Jewish poetry across German\, Polish\,
  and Hebrew traditions\, focusing on poetic responses to historical catast
 rophe and questions of humanity.Dr. Jana Pocrnja (Max Kade Postdoctoral Sc
 holar\, Stanford University)\, whose work in comparative literature examin
 es poetic reasoning and the relationship between poetry and philosophy\, p
 articularly in the writings of María ZambranoJon Tadmor (PhD Candidate in
  Comparative Literature\, Stanford University\; Co-chair\, Stanford Center
  for Poetics)\, whose research investigates poetic difficulty in American\
 , Hebrew\, and Yiddish modernisms and the evolving relationship between po
 ets and readers.The event is open to all interested participants and espec
 ially welcomes students\, scholars\, poets\, and practitioners working in 
 literature\, cultural studies\, arts-based education\, and related fields.
  The format encourages interdisciplinary exchange and transatlantic dialog
 ue between Europe and Stanford University.\n\nThe event is initiated and m
 oderated by Prof. Dr. Nicola Scherer (Gerda Henkel Visiting Professor\, Sp
 ring Term 2026) and marks the beginning of a new online lecture series ded
 icated to cultural policy\, contemporary art and culture\, and transatlant
 ic exchange.\n\nRSVP for the poetry lecture and panel here.
