Abstract

abstract:This article provides an introduction to Redesigning Modernities I, the first of two special issues that grew out of the Redesigning Modernities project led by Penn State's School of Global Languages, Literatures, and Cultures. The article explains the aims of the larger project, which seeks to encourage complementary and collaborative research agendas among faculty and graduate students, develop new curriculum and innovative course designs, and generate materials for inclusion in the university's Open Educational Resources (OER) archive. This introduction also situates the first workshop, held in summer 2020, in the context of the pandemic's early days as a way of explaining the recurring threads that connect the contributions to this issue: infrastructures, ecologies, and emancipatory openings. Finally, it presents the lineup of pieces in this issue: a dossier on Ecologies, Foodways, and Commodity Chains composed of four short pieces; an interview with the Brazilian graphic novelist Marcelo D'Salete along with a prefatory text drawing connections between his Angola Janga (2017) and the U.S. writer Gayl Jones's Palmares (2020); and four full-length articles on diverse media (short videos/vlogs, a series of experimental novels, the ideas of a feminist philosopher and performer, and a cult classic film).

重新设计现代性概论1:基础设施、生态和解放的开放

文摘：本文介绍了《重新设计现代性I》，这是宾夕法尼亚州立大学全球语言、文学和文化学院领导的《重新设计现代化》项目的两个特刊中的第一期。这篇文章解释了这个更大项目的目的，该项目旨在鼓励教师和研究生之间的互补和合作研究议程，开发新课程和创新课程设计，并生成材料纳入大学的开放教育资源（OER）档案。这篇引言还将2020年夏天举行的第一次研讨会置于疫情早期的背景下，以解释将对这一问题的贡献联系起来的反复出现的线索：基础设施、生态和解放开放。最后，它介绍了本期的文章阵容：由四篇短文组成的关于生态、食品和商品链的档案；对巴西平面小说家马塞洛·德萨莱特的采访，以及他的《安哥拉詹加》（2017年）和美国作家盖尔·琼斯的《帕尔马雷斯》（2020年）之间的序言；以及四篇关于不同媒体的长篇文章（短视频/视频博客、一系列实验小说、女权主义哲学家和表演者的想法，以及一部邪典电影）。
