I focus on the earliest evidence for the stele as well as related sculpture which has recently appeared in China and Japan. The broad question is which works are authentic Northern Wei sculpture, what are the rest, and how do we know? Participants are asked to familiarize themselves with my Freer Occasional Paper “A Freer stele reconsidered” (2002).

Event Description: Although Paris in the 1800s is often associated with the art of Impressionism, with its light-filled landscapes and bustling boulevards, artists also probed the social and psychological depths of the period in more private media like prints, drawings, illustrated books, and small sculptures. This exhibition, organized by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, evokes the discreet world of individual collecting to tell a less familiar story of nineteenth-century art.

workshop aims to explore literature, theater, and cultural history of the past five centuries in Chinese-speaking communities, in close relation with other disciplines such as art, religion, music, and philosophy.

Media of particular interest range from film, theater, performance and music, to print and material culture. Just as last year, we will continue to offer occasional screenings of Chinese opera film.

Title: Criticism in the Making: The Co-Emergence of the Social and the Literary in KaebyÅk (The opening of the world, 1920-26)
Contact Name: Ji Young
Contact E-mail: jiyoung@uchicago.edu
Campus Map: maps.uchicago.edu
Event Description: Abstract, My third chapter investigates the structure, as well as the historical structuring of, literary criticism through the analyses of a general-interest magazine, KaebyÅk (The opening of the world, 1920-26). Published by the nascent religious sect, ChÅndogyÅ (Heavenly way), it also carried many texts on Marxism, reports on social affairs and literary works alongside religious essays. While considering criticism as the main mode of writing which interrelated the co-emergence of the social and the literary in the magazine, I pursue three projects. The first is to trace the trajectories of criticism where its subcategories of a social critique, a literary treatise, and practical criticism arose and interacted together in three historical phases. Secondly, I investigate what contributed to the dynamic interrelation of the three kinds of criticism through revealing how the magazine's key contributors, such as the ChÅndogyo theorist Yi Tonhwa (1884-?) and Marxist commentators Kim Kijin (1903-1985) and Pak YÅnghÅi (1901-?), struggled together to find a vision of society as a whole. A constellation of critical insights they collectively endeavored to construct, which I call â€œthe base of criticism,â€ played a substantive role in defining what comprised the literary in the magazine. Finally, I aim to illustrate that the base of criticism in KaebyÅk served as the precursor to the criticism of sin kyÅnghyangpâ€™a munhak (New Tendency Literature), a new genre that emerged in 1924 and 1925 the literary implications of which were considered to be the ushering in of full-fledged proletariat literature in later periods.

Event Description: A central figure in dance and performance of the 1960s, Yvonne Rainer's transition to the cinema in the early 1970s quickly earned her a place as the single most important avant-garde filmmaker of her generation. Rainer inaugurated a major feminist tradition in the cinema that blends theory with autobiography, deconstructed narratives, dance-inspired performances and rigorous but playful formal experimentation. FILM ABOUT A WOMAN WHO..., a landmark film that is still considered by many to be her masterpiece, is a meditation on ambivalence that plays with cliché and the conventions of soap opera while telling the story of a woman whose sexual dissatisfaction masks an enormous anger. (Yvonne Rainer, 1974, 16mm, B&W, 105 min), Co-sponsored by the Student Activity Fee.

Quilombo and Utopia: The Aesthetic of Labor in Brazilian Documentary: Lecture by Salomé Skvirsky

Presenter: Salomé Skvirsky, postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Cinema and Media Studies
Lecture Title: Quilombo and Utopia: The Aesthetic of Labor in Brazilian Documentary
Contact Name: Film Studies Center
Contact Phone: 773-702-8596
Campus Map: maps.uchicago.edu
Event Description: This talk focuses on one of the privileged spaces of the Cinema Novo filmscape: the quilombo or maroon settlement. Though neglected by film scholars, the quilombo has imposed itself thematically on political filmmakers; it became the preferred site for bringing together two preoccupations of these filmmakers—Brazilian national identity and utopian politics. The presentation examines the short documentary that inaugurated this tradition. ARUANDA (Noronha, 1960), a classic Cinema Novo antecedent about a rural community of descendents of escaped slaves, locates the utopian element of the quilombo in the unalienated life-activity of its members, rather than in a peculiarly African or Afro-Brazilian culture. This film represents an anti-culturalist approach to the quilombo that was soon superceded by the culturalist appropriation of the quilombo by the Brazilian black movement, by other filmmakers, and later, by the Brazilian state., Salomé Aguilera Skvirsky is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Cinema and Media Studies. In September 2010, she will begin as Assistant Professor of Film at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. She has a BA from the University of Pennsylvania and a PhD in English from the University of Pittsburgh. Her publications include an essay about racial melodrama in Cinema Journal and an article about Anand Patwardhan's 1992 political documentary, RAM KE NAAM, in 24 Frames: The Cinema of India.

Event Description: The emergence of new media has challenged cinema studies to reconsider basic assumptions about its object, including the ways in which it interacted, from its inception, with other media. By the same token, the word "cinematic" is often used to describe aesthetic aspects of contemporary moving image practices from video games to genres such as net.art, machinima, and youtube videos. Given the indebtedness of such practices to cinema, what position does cinema occupy in the changing media ecology of digital technologies? What critical and experiential purchase does cinema afford in an age of information- and action-based media, as screen-centered media of film and television are increasingly circulating online; and as Fordist regimes of mass culture have been displaced by the cultural economies of "ludic capitalism" (Alexander Galloway)? What role do new media play in the flourishing of new film cultures all over the world, in the hybrid forms of contemporary art, in the context of political and social movements, and in alternative forms of distribution and venues?, The proposed symposium is intended to forge crossings – or, as the case may be, delineate boundaries – between the study of cinema and that of new media. By exploring exemplary configurations of cinema and new media (while not eclipsing television), we hope to initiate a crossdisciplinary conversation that avoids both celebrations of convergence culture and cinephile nostalgia. The terms material and code in the title, referring to the physical substrate of media and the rules of formal systems and social encounters, should not be taken to align the study of cinema with the former and that of new media with the latter. Rather, both are operating, in asymmetrical ways, on both sides of the disciplinary divide, and demand differentiation and discussion. Within a wider context, the symposium seeks to open up, in an exemplary area, a vital intersection of approaches shaped by humanistic inquiry and methods of analysis and modes of argument closer to science and technology -- of different conceptions of what constitutes objects of inquiry, critical objectives, and knowledge. Given the more porous boundaries in new media between scholars, users, and designers – compared to the relatively more rigid division of labor between scholar-critics, spectators, and filmmakers – the conversation we hope to stimulate would also highlight new junctures between academic discourse and ongoing artistic and cultural practices.

"What Pertains To a Man"? Transcending Gender Boundaries in Jewish and Israeli Law

01 Mar 2010 15:00:00 GMT

Chicago, Illinois 60637

Event Description: This small one day conference will be structured around two documentary films, Praying in her Own Voice and Paper Dolls (Bubyot Niyar), each centered on ways in which Israeli law and culture deal with individuals and groups who transcend the gender boundaries of Jewish law. The conference title is taken from Deuteronomy 10:22, which declares it to be an abomination for a woman to put on what pertains to a man and for a man to wear women’s clothing., The conference will be held Monday March 1, coincident to the feast of Purim, which commemorates Esther’s saving the Jewish people by crossing uninvited from the women’s quarters to the king’s inner court and is traditionally celebrated with masquerades including some cross-dressing. Purim and the megilla of Esther are also important to the subjects of Praying in her Own Voice, the Women of the Wall, whose decades- long quest to pray and read from Torah scrolls wearing tallit at the Western Wall in Jerusalem led them several times to the Israeli Supreme Court., The conference will juxtapose the Women of the Wall’s attempt to transcend gender boundaries with that of a very different group, the Paper Dolls, a drag performance troupe whose members are transgendered Filipino care workers in Israel. The award-winning Paper Dolls documentary explores the mulitiplicity of ways in which the group negotiates and transcends gender boundaries, as it examines the group members’ interactions with both the elderly orthodox Jewish men they are employed to care for and the gay male Israeli club patrons for whom they audition as performers., Confirmed speakers for the conference include Aeyal Gross of Tel Aviv University, Pnina Lahav of Boston University, and Martin F. Manalansan IV of the University of Illinois. We will be adding a few additional speakers and to that end seek proposals in the form either of an abstract or draft paper dealing with any aspect of Transcending Gender Boundaries in Jewish or Israeli Law, by no means limited to the subjects of the two films. We welcome papers from all disciplines., The conference sponsors include the University of Chicago Law School’s Workshop on Regulating Family, Sex and Gender, and the University’s Center for Gender Studies, Program in Jewish Studies and Program in Human Rights.

Event Description: This conference is intended to mark the completion of ten years since the first publication of Dipesh Chakrabarty’s Provincializing Europe: Postcolonial Thought and Historical Difference. It is an attempt to map the varied trajectories the idea of provincializing Europe has taken since its first adumbration in a seminal essay by Chakrabarty nearly eighteen years ago. We imagine the conference as a conversation in which a range of scholars whose work has in one way or another been inflected by Provincializing Europe can present their current research. Collectively, we aim to take stock of the multi-regional and trans-disciplinary connections that the book has helped to incite, and to explore their possible future trajectories.

Event Description: During the century of Enlightenment Charles Louis de Montesquieu, author of the Lettres Persanes and De l’esprit des lois, enjoyed an intellectual preeminence that is difficult to overstate; in France, Europe and beyond, members of the Republic of Letters turned to Montesquieu as a source of ideas and of authority on such questions as the nature and history of moderate government; the evolving role of commerce; the causes of despotism; and the role of the nobility in states and societies progressing toward more egalitarian norms. Montesquieu’s perdurable authority on these subjects stemmed not only from the depth and originality of his thinking, but from his manner of expression, in which he studiously avoided pedantic, overly technical philosophical exposition in favor of the graceful allusion, epigram and bon ton that reigned Parisian salons of the eighteenth century. In this sense, style met substance: as a social thinker, Montesquieu sought reconciliation between a society of orders dominated by the nobility and the social structures and manners characteristic of a new commercial society. His writing displays the belletristic instincts of the nobility to which he belonged, tempering the seriousness of his inquiries with the sort of stylistic play, relativism and ironic detachment unthinkable at the extremes of critical and sentimental fervor we find, for instance, in Rousseau., In this two-day international conference, we will gather a group of historians, literary scholars and political scientists in order to explore the role that Montesquieu envisioned for the nobility in the rapidly changing context of eighteenth-century Europe. At issue here will be Montesquieu’s ideas on commerce, monarchy and manners; more broadly, we will consider the problem of social change, assimilation and conflict. As historians of consumption, salon culture and literature have established, evolving practices of dressing, talking and writing provided models for the way the old court society could be reconciled with a more aggressive and dynamic but supposedly philistine commercial society. What did Montesquieu have to say about these issues and how did his own writing and life—so inflected by his noble tastes and habits—embody these changes? Finally, we shall ask whether the intellectually and socially moderate Enlightenment that Montesquieu came to represent was a tenable alternative to more radical possibilities.

An adaptation of Jack Gelber's acclaimed Beat play about junkies, musicians and other assorted figures waiting for a fix, The Connection uses cinema verité methods to perfectly capture a subculture. Unfortunately neglected in film history, Clarke's film is truly a milestone of independent cinema. (Shirley Clarke, 1961, 35mm, B&W, 110 min), Co-sponsored by the Student Activity Fee.

Event Description: During the century of Enlightenment Charles Louis de Montesquieu, author of the Lettres Persanes and De l’esprit des lois, enjoyed an intellectual preeminence that is difficult to overstate; in France, Europe and beyond, members of the Republic of Letters turned to Montesquieu as a source of ideas and of authority on such questions as the nature and history of moderate government; the evolving role of commerce; the causes of despotism; and the role of the nobility in states and societies progressing toward more egalitarian norms. Montesquieu’s perdurable authority on these subjects stemmed not only from the depth and originality of his thinking, but from his manner of expression, in which he studiously avoided pedantic, overly technical philosophical exposition in favor of the graceful allusion, epigram and bon ton that reigned Parisian salons of the eighteenth century. In this sense, style met substance: as a social thinker, Montesquieu sought reconciliation between a society of orders dominated by the nobility and the social structures and manners characteristic of a new commercial society. His writing displays the belletristic instincts of the nobility to which he belonged, tempering the seriousness of his inquiries with the sort of stylistic play, relativism and ironic detachment unthinkable at the extremes of critical and sentimental fervor we find, for instance, in Rousseau., In this two-day international conference, we will gather a group of historians, literary scholars and political scientists in order to explore the role that Montesquieu envisioned for the nobility in the rapidly changing context of eighteenth-century Europe.

Campus Map: maps.uchicago.edu
Event Description: New York filmmaker Lynne Sachs presents THE LAST HAPPY DAY, an experimental documentary portrait of Sandor (Alexander) Lenard, a Hungarian medical doctor and Sachs' distant cousin. In 1938 Lenard, a writer with a Jewish background, fled the Nazis to a safe haven in Rome. Shortly thereafter, the U.S. Army Graves Registration Service hired Lenard to reconstruct the bones— small and large — of dead American soldiers. Eventually he found himself in remotest Brazil where he embarked on the translation of Winnie the Pooh into Latin. Sachs' essay film uses personal letters, abstracted war imagery, home movies, interviews, and a children's performance to create an intimate meditation on the destructive power of war. In conversation with Classics Professor Michèle Lowrie (who acted as an adviser on the film), Sachs will discuss making this portrait of a doctor who saw the worst of society and ran. From Lucretius’ sublime but wise “On the Nature of the Universe” to Euripides’ lurid Bacchae to Michael Ondaattje’s harrowing vision of Billy the Kid, Sachs will review the range of literature that fed her creative process. In the same spirit of experimentation, she will screen her companion piece, COSMETIC SURGERY FOR CORPSES (10 min., 2010) which witnesses a group of Latin scholars confronted with the haunting yet whimsical task of translating a newspaper article on Iraqi burial rituals into Latin., (Lynne Sachs, 37 min, DVD, 2009)

Hacks and Authors: Ben Hecht, the politique des auteurs and scriptwriting in classical Hollywood – Lunch discussion with Giaime Alonge

Campus Map: maps.uchicago.edu
Event Description: Introduction by Professor Rebecca West, Depts of Romance Languages and Literatures and Cinema and Media Studies, The politique des auteurs, in its worshipping of the director as a solitary genius, was intrinsically anti-screenwriter. So, it is no accident that when some film critics and scholars (Pauline Kael, Raising Kane, 1971; Richard Corliss, Talking Pictures, 1974), in the early 1970s, started to focus on the role of the screenwriter, they took a strong anti-auteurist stance. The paradox is that in many books and essays about screenwriters and screenwriting, the “myth of the author” comes back in a new form, that of the writer as the “real” author (or, at least, as the main co-author) of the film. To which extent can we consider the screenwriter as an author, especially in a highly industrialized context such as that of classical Hollywood? The paper will try to answer this question using Ben Hecht’s career as a case study., Giaime Alonge teaches Film History at the University of Turin (Italy) and at the Animation Department of the Scuola Nazionale di Cinema. His research areas are American cinema, film and history, and animation. In addition to his work on Ben Hecht, Alonge is also a screenwriter and novelist.

Event Description: A conference that aims to challenge our understanding of the dynamics at the intersection of German and Jewish culture by emphasizing the extensive cultural production on the German-Jewish and increasingly German-Israeli fault lines and by putting the dialogue between the two languages and literatures – German and Hebrew – at the center., ___, In 1966 the renowned Kabbalah scholar and German-born Jewish thinker Gerschom Scholem stated that the German-Jewish conversation had been a one-sided monologue carried out alone by Jews. Subsequently scholarship has done much to qualify and complicate this picture; still, while the model of a dialogue reconsidered or of a negative symbiosis (as formulated, for example, by Hannah Arendt and Dan Diner, a philosopher and a historian, respectively) has been fruitful in explaining this vexed history, it leaves certain divisions and borders intact. The proposed workshop forms part of a series of events planned for the academic year 2009/10 that aim to challenge our understanding of the dynamics at the intersection of German and Jewish culture by emphasizing the extensive cultural production on the German-Jewish and increasingly German-Israeli fault lines and by putting the dialogue between the two languages and literatures – German and Hebrew – at the center. This is a rich and understudied topic that has evaded scholars of German-Jewish and Hebrew Literature in the past because the two fields have remained separate. The events are being initiated in reaction to a perceived sea change in both scholarship and culture: an increasing number of bilingual scholars and cultural agents are engaged in the interaction between German and Hebrew and investigating its past. The reasons for this change – the enabling conditions that allow this conversation to thrive at the present moment – are one of the central topics to be investigated in these events. The proposed events thus aim to widen the field of study beyond the cultural production of German-Jews, strictly defined, to include a broader range of Hebrew and German authors and translators. This refocusing moves the discussion away from the previously dominant concepts of identity, memory and trauma and introduces new concepts such as cultural contact, bilingualism and translation. The investigation of these concepts is an interdisciplinary pursuit that draws on and intends to make a contribution to fields such as Comparative Literature, Translation Studies and Anthropology. It is also, by definition, a vein of research and thinking that situates Jewish culture and thought in dialogue with other Western traditions. What is bound to emerge from this investigation is by no means a symmetrical picture: Germans, Jews and Israelis turn to translation, borrowing, adaptation and exchange between the two languages and literatures for widely different reasons at different times. This picture is further complicated when we take into account the fact that none of the different categories that form it – Germans, Jews, Hebrew or German speakers, Israelis – is inherently stable, and they overlap in multiple senses. But a comprehensive mapping of this uneven topography is yet to be undertaken, and there is much to learn from it., The proposed events are designed to reflect extensively on the three new concepts mentioned above, taking as their conceptual point of departure the multiple directions that have shaped the cultural contact between Germans and Jews before and after the Holocaust: what do Germans and Israelis discover when they travel from one culture to the other? What is it that they see in each other’s literature, art, theater and cinema? What are the horizons opened in an exhibition of Israeli art in Berlin? In exhibiting the work of Anselm Kiefer in Tel-Aviv? What role does Israel play in the work of Günter Grass? Why do German novelists such as Katharina Hacker, Angelika Schrobsdorf and Malin Schwerdtfeger send their characters to Israel? What do we learn of Germany from the essays of Israeli writers such as Amos Oz, Fania Oz-Salzberger, David Grossman and Moshe Zuckerman? From Yoram Kaniuk’s recurring trips to the landscapes of his beloved-hated Germany? What is the place of Israel in the contemporary German political landscape and cultural imagination? How do Israelis use the German past when they discuss their political present?, From this contemporary vantage point and with an eye geared toward bilingualism, we gain a fresh view of an entire literary history. How do we study the Hebrew authors who lived and worked in Germany in the early twentieth century (e.g., M.Y. Berdichevsky, H.N. Bialik, S.Y. Agnon, U.Z. Greenberg, Leah Goldberg, David Fogel and Avraham Ben Yitzhak)? Is their work “rooted” in Germany and the German language in any way? And if so, how? What can we learn from Gershom Scholem and Ingeborg Bachmann’s poetic dialogue? Are there themes or questions that tie together generations of Jewish authors who traveled from Germany to Mandatory Palestine and later Israel (e.g., Else Lasker-Schüler, Dan Pagis, Tuvia Rübner, Yehuda Amichai, Natan Zach, Gershon Shaked and David Schütz)? How does the German language resonate in their works? And is this resonance analogous to the place of Hebrew in the work of German-Jewish authors ranging from Franz Kafka to Paul Celan?, Along similar lines, a long temporal perspective opens a fascinating view on the question of translation between the two languages, going from Martin Luther, Moses Mendelssohn, Franz Rosenzweig and others translating the Hebrew Bible to German to Shimon Sandbank and Ilana Hamermann translating Hölderlin, Heine, Nietzsche, Rilke and contemporary German authors to Hebrew. How do these bookends frame our view of authors who translate their own works between the two languages? Or of authors who activate a poetics of translation in their writing? What works are translated between the two languages, and when? How are they received, and what do these reception histories teach us?

Campus Map: maps.uchicago.edu…
Event Description: David Gitlitz is a scholar-administrator who has apportioned his time among research on Sephardic historical topics, Spanish Golden Age literature, and pilgrimage studies. A graduate of Oberlin College and Harvard, Gitlitz has taught at Indiana University, the University of Nebraska, SUNY-Binghamton (where he also served as Dean of Arts and Sciences) and the University of Rhode Island (where he also served as Academic Vice President and Provost). He retired from teaching in 2008., Several of his books deal with Jewish-Catholic relations in Iberia around the time of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain. In 1996 he published Secrecy and Deceit: The religion of the crypto-Jews (Philadelphia: The Jewish Publication Society, 1996), an ethnographic overview of the religious customs of the Jews who converted to Catholicism and were persecuted by the Inquisition. The book won both the Jewish Book Council's 1996 National Jewish Book Award in Sephardic Studies and the 1997 Lucy Dawidowicz Prize for History. In 1998 he and his wife Dr. Linda Davidson published A Drizzle of Honey: The Lives and Recipes of Spain’s Secret Jews (St. Martin’s Press), a cookbook of Iberian-Jewish cuisine from the period of the expulsions that a July 1999 review in Saveur called a “penetrating work [that] may be the best historical Jewish cookbook yet written.” This book garnered both a National Jewish Book Award and the International Association of Culinary Professionals prize for distinguished scholarship. The Lost Minyan, narrations of ten lives of Spanish and Mexican crypto-Jews, is in press at the University of New Mexico., Five times since 1974 (most recently in 1996) Gitlitz and Linda Davidson have led groups of student pilgrims six hundred miles on foot from southern France to the shrine of Santiago de Compostela in an academic summer program focusing on medieval art, literature and history. Their joint book, The Pilgrimage Road to Santiago:The Complete Cultural Handbook (New York: St. Martin’s Press, 2000), has become a staple along the Compostela road. In 2002 their two-volume encyclopedic overview of world pilgrimage customs, Pilgrimage, from the Ganges to Graceland: An Encyclopedia, appeared (Santa Barbara: ABC-CLIO). Their Pilgrimage and the Jews, a historical analysis of Jewish pilgrimage traditions from biblical times to the present, appeared in 2006 (Westport, CT: Praeger)., Gitlitz has also worked extensively in the Spanish literature of the Golden Age, publishing La estructura lírica de la comedia de Lope de Vega and numerous articles on Spanish Golden Age poetry, prose, and theater as well as book-length translations of works by the poet Francisco de Quevedo and playwrights Lope de Vega and Calderón.

Contact E-mail: franke-humanities@uchicago.edu
Contact Phone: 773-702-8274
Campus Map: maps.uchicago.edu
Event Description: Josef Stern is an identical twin, teaches in Chicago and resides in Jerusalem, and works in two main areas: contemporary philosophy of language and medieval philosophy, especially Jewish and Arabic philosophy. His interests in the philosophy of language focus on the theory of reference, the role of context in semantic interpretation, the distinction between literal and non-literal meaning, and between linguistic and non-linguistic modes of representation and communication. He is also working on the history of Quine's Indeterminacy Thesis and foundational issues in theoretical linguistics. He has no interest in counterpart theory but he is deeply involved in Frege's identity puzzle. In his second area, Stern is completing a number of projects that focus on epistemological and metaphysical issues in the philosophy of the twelfth-century Jewish philosopher Moses Maimonides and his relation both to the Arabic philosophical tradition and to later Jewish thinkers. In addition, he is interested in Hume's Dialogues concerning Natural Religion, the philosophy of art, skepticism, the history of philosophical interpretation of Scripture, and staying awake (most of the time).

It seeks to explore, through a legal lens, the literary themes generated by gender and gender roles from Henry Fielding to George Bernard Shaw. The conference hopes to imbue a broader understanding of the legal and social philosophies that changed and were changed by the respective roles of women and men in England, encouraging a deeper and more complex appreciation in the fields of both literature and the law. Distinguished writer Sara Paretsky, author of the V.I. Warshawski detective novels, will be a guest speaker. Following the tradition set by the first law and literature conference, faculty and student actors will perform dramatic scenes from English plays of the era. The conference is co-sponsored by the Gender Studies Center.
