beyond felt facts: documentary assemblages,
nomadic translations, and global crises
Joanna Mąkowska
Thurs., March 12th, 3pm-4:30pm
UB Poetry Collection | 420 Capen Hall
~ refreshments will be served
~
Moving between the interrelated practices
of poetry translation and poetics research,
Mąkowska’s talk will first take up her translations
into Polish of Natalie Diaz’s Postcolonial Love
Poem and Claudia Rankine’s Citizen and then
discuss her current book project on documentary
assemblages as a form of protest and resistance.
Tracing the documentary impulse from the 1930s
(Boyle, Rukeyser, Loy) to contemporary anti-
war archival poetics in global context (Ammiel
Alcalay and Ida Börjel), Makowska will also
discuss how theories of montage, assemblage,
and new materialism illuminate documentary
literature’s polyvocal and processual nature.
Joanna Mąkowska is an Assistant Professor at the University of Warsaw, a literary critic, and a translator. She
has translated into Polish Claudia Rankine’s Citizen and Natalie Diaz’s Postcolonial Love Poem (Ossolineum
Award nominated). Essays appear in Modernism/modernity, Arizona Quarterly, Women’s Studies, The Routledge
Companion to Ecopoetics, and elsewhere. Having been a Fulbright Scholar at the University at Buffalo and a
Postdoctoral Fellow at Duquesne University, she is currently a Visiting Professor at Canisius University.

Thurs., Feb. 19th, 3pm

UB Poetry Collection | 420 Capen Hall

In her first book, Amy De'Ath develops a new type of feminist literary criticism attuned to the way our lives are shaped by capital's impersonal compulsions – by what happens "behind our backs." Close reading works by Kay Gabriel, Bernadette Mayer, Bhanu Kapil and others, 𝘉𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘉𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘴 explains how capital’s gendering inversions are felt and critiqued in the poetic experiments of trans, queer, Indigenous, and diasporic writing.
De'Ath's  talk will be followed by discussion and a reception.  Many thanks to our co-sponsors: the #UBuffalo Poetry Collection and the UB Humanities Institute.  

Amy De’Ath is Assistant Professor of English at Tufts University. She is the author of 𝘉𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘉𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘴: 𝘍𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘥 𝘗𝘰𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘈𝘣𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 (Stanford UP, 2026) and 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 (Futurepoem, 2024). She is also the editor of “Total Sexual Difference,” a dossier forthcoming from Mediations journal in Spring 2026. She lives in Boston, on the unceded territories of the Massachusee and the Mashpee Wôpanâak First Peoples.
