IASH Conference Room, Library North (LN) 1106
Dennis Yi Tenen, associate professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, will join the speaker series Critical Perspectives on AI, Data, and Narrative with a talk on the methodological and ethical challenges of studying digital communities that operate in ambiguous legal and moral terrains. The talk takes up the problem of doing ethnography online—what it means to study digital communities that thrive in the gray zones of legality or morality. Drawing on the sociology of culture, media theory, and platform studies, Tenen focuses on Library Genesis, one of the internet’s largest “pirate” libraries. The case raises difficult questions about how to write about underground infrastructures without exposing them, and how to care for both the researcher and the researched community in spaces built to resist visibility.

Jonathan Larson’s groundbreaking Tony and Pulitzer Prize -winning musical RENT returns in a powerful new symphonic concert version.

With a live cast, full band, and symphonic arrangements, RENT in Concert reimagines the beloved rock musical in a bold and moving format. This production brings Larson’s raw, emotional score to life with a new sonic depth while staying true to its story of community, love, loss, and resilience in the face of the HIV/AIDS crisis.

Fans of the original will find this concert both familiar and fresh; an homage to a show that defined a generation and continues to speak powerfully today.

IASH Conference Room, Library North (LN) 1106
Nina Beguš, Lecturer at the Center for Science, Technology, Medicine & Society at UC Berkeley, will join the speaker series Critical Perspectives on AI, Data, and Narrative with a talk on the cultural, philosophical, and ethical dimensions of artificial intelligence. The talk examines how fictional narratives shape our understanding of computational technologies and how the humanities can offer critical tools for interpreting AI’s development. Drawing on literature, media theory, and the history of science, Beguš traces connections from Pygmalion’s Eliza Doolittle to Weizenbaum’s ELIZA, moving through works such as Richard Powers’s Galatea 2.2 and the films Her and Ex Machina, before turning to contemporary large language models. The case raises questions about how stories inform technological imaginaries, and how humanistic approaches can illuminate the cultural and philosophical implications of machines that use human languages.
