This event will be moderated by Professor Joseph Litvak. In The Barthes Fantastic, John Lurz explores the intersection of literature and everyday life—and confronts some habits of literary study—through a reading of the work of Roland Barthes. An influential French theorist, Barthes wrote prolifically on the place of language and the play of signs in the ways we produce cultural and aesthetic meaning. Ranging across the entire sweep of Barthes’s varied career, Lurz shows how Barthes’s insights into signification and literature involve particular intellectual activities that impart significance to the world. Doing so allows him to develop an expanded understanding of the fantastic as a conceptual category—a way of thinking—in which the texts we read come to inform the texture of our real lives. Ultimately, The Barthes Fantastic enlarges our sense of what we learn as students of literature and gives us a new picture of a writer we thought we knew. All are welcome to attend.

Drawing on two recent studies from Karachi, Pakistan, this talk examines how structural inequalities and administrative fragmentation produce severe disparities in access to water and sanitation. The talk will highlight how legal recognition, social capital, and community mobilization shape residents’ ability to secure basic services. The talk also foregrounds the lived experiences of residents in underserved neighborhoods, revealing how uneven patterns of water and sanitation access have profound implications for public health, shaping exposure to disease, reinforcing health disparities, and undermining the urban poor’s ability to achieve basic well-being. Hassaan F. Khan is an assistant professor in the Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning at Tufts University. His teaching and research focus on issues of environmental justice and equity, combining rigorous systems analysis with mixed methods approaches, to study water management in the Global South. He is the founding director of an interdisciplinary research group (KWP) that is developing technological and policy-based solutions to urban water challenges in South Asian cities. The goal of Khan's research on urban water systems is to inform the discourse on water beyond a simplistic and overly infrastructure-focused centralized approach that overlooks the needs of and impact on marginalized communities.
