Literature, Theater, and Cultural History of China, 1500-Present:
This 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. While focusing on the flow of cultural productions and ideas across regional boundaries, we will also discuss theoretical and historical issues such as gender and sexuality, performance and popular culture, book publishing and print culture, and the interactions between text and image. 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. This year’s focus will be on opera film production after the Cultural Revolution and extending to the present day.

Lecture Title: "Trying Political Leaders"
Contact Phone: 773.702.9494
Campus Map: maps.uchicago.edu
Event Description: The subject of this year's Dewey Lecture is the political morality and wisdom of putting political leaders on trial after we have endured their leadership (and other nations, perhaps, have endured their crimes). Political trials have a long history-and the judgments we make of their judgments are highly contested. Professor Walzer will try to suggest a comparative politics of political trials; they have a very different character, and very different purposes, in different national and international settings. And, like all trials, their justice and wisdom hang on their character and purpose.

Event Description: Religious dialogue is an important feature of the modern religious experience. Closely related to liberalism, ecumenism, ideals of tolerance and mutual understanding, it seems to be a product of the Enlightenment. Or is it? Under the title of “Deconstructing Dialogue,” the goal of this conference is to initiate a new, critical, multi-disciplinary approach to the phenomenon of religious dialogue, and to problematize the Enlightenment origins and meanings of “dialogue.” Starting with questions of origins and development – what is dialogue, how has it been defined and conceived, by whom and in what context – the conference will examine the genealogy of modern ideas and practices of religious dialogue in comparison to pre-modern traditions (of polemics and disputation, heresiography and heresiology) thus providing a broader framework for studying the ways ideas are discussed and debated across time and geographical or cultural divisions. A secondary aim is to shift attention away from a contemporary theoretical preoccupation with religious conflict solely apprehended through symbolic and physical violent confrontations. Religious interaction through dialogue – even in seemingly “positive” ways – is perhaps a far more subtle form of religious conflict and certainly a rich (if unexplored) site for scholarly investigation. In order to stimulate discussion, analysis, and theoretical reflection, papers will be chosen which represent a variety of scholarly disciplines, including the social sciences, history, history of religion, philosophy, literature, music and the arts. Questions that could be raised include definitions of dialogue (established from above by scholars, philosophers, religious or political leaders) vs. the lived practice of dialogue (dialogue “on the ground,” as it were); geographies of dialogue – sacred spaces and counter-spaces, where does dialogue take place and why; political motivations: when does dialogue occur and for what purpose; methods and vehicles of dialogue and strategies of representation; inter-religious vs. inner-religious dialogue, or even the internal dialogue of religious converts; dialogue in fiction and fact – especially in relation to the literary genre of dialogue; the ethnography of interfaith, its politics and aesthetics (dialogue in art and architecture, music, or culinary and other practices). The conference will be colloquium style. Papers will be chosen with a view to putting different fields, periods, traditions in conversation. Each session will have one or several respondents who will push toward more general or theoretical conclusions based on case studies. Each panel (3 papers) will be 2 hours long. Each speaker will take 20 minutes to present his/her paper. A discussant will discuss the papers, and conversation between panelists and then between panelists and the public will follow.

Contact Name: Tara Morin
Contact E-mail: tmorin@uchicago.edu
Contact Phone: 773-702-0278
Campus Map: maps.uchicago.edu
Event Description: Even though it is generally acknowledged that the ritual bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties (ca. 1500-256 BC) are among the most magnificent artistic creations of the ancient world, and archaeological discoveries during recent decades have greatly increased the amount of provenienced data, their art–historical understanding has stalled since the early 1950s. This lecture summarizes the current state of research and attempts a new comprehensive overview of the basic art-historical problems that must be addressed in order to do full justice to this fascinating body of materials. Topics to be covered will include function, style, iconography, epigraphy, manufacturing technology, patronage and socioeconomic context, as well as the interrelation of all these., Mini-bio. Lothar von Falkenhausen is Professor of Chinese Archaeology and Art History and Associate Director of the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UCLA. His specialty is East Asian archaeology, with an emphasis on the great Bronze Age of China (ca. 2000-200 BC). He does not have a BA, but he obtained an MA in East Asian Studies (1982) and a PhD in anthropology (1988) from Harvard University; he also attended (for two years each) the University of Bonn, Peking University, and Kyôto University. Before joining the faculty at UCLA since 1993, Professor von Falkenhausen taught at Stanford University and the University of California, Riverside, and he has held visiting professorships at numerous institutions in Europe and Asia. He has published more than one hundred articles, books, and edited volumes; the two most important being two books, _Suspended Music: Chime Bells in the Culture of Bronze Age China_ (1993) and _Chinese Society in the Age of Confucius (1000-250 BC): The Archaeological Evidence_ (2006). Since 1999, he has served as the American co-Principal Investigator of UCLA's joint field project with Peking University, entitled “Landscape Archaeology and Ancient Salt Production in the Upper Yangzi River Basin” and as co-editor of the bilingual series _Salt Archaeology in China_ (2006-). He is also the founding co-editor of the _Journal of East Asian Archaeology (1999-).

Event Description: Religious dialogue is an important feature of the modern religious experience. Closely related to liberalism, ecumenism, ideals of tolerance and mutual understanding, it seems to be a product of the Enlightenment. Or is it? Under the title of “Deconstructing Dialogue,” the goal of this conference is to initiate a new, critical, multi-disciplinary approach to the phenomenon of religious dialogue, and to problematize the Enlightenment origins and meanings of “dialogue.” Starting with questions of origins and development – what is dialogue, how has it been defined and conceived, by whom and in what context – the conference will examine the genealogy of modern ideas and practices of religious dialogue in comparison to pre-modern traditions (of polemics and disputation, heresiography and heresiology) thus providing a broader framework for studying the ways ideas are discussed and debated across time and geographical or cultural divisions. A secondary aim is to shift attention away from a contemporary theoretical preoccupation with religious conflict solely apprehended through symbolic and physical violent confrontations. Religious interaction through dialogue – even in seemingly “positive” ways – is perhaps a far more subtle form of religious conflict and certainly a rich (if unexplored) site for scholarly investigation. In order to stimulate discussion, analysis, and theoretical reflection, papers will be chosen which represent a variety of scholarly disciplines, including the social sciences, history, history of religion, philosophy, literature, music and the arts. Questions that could be raised include definitions of dialogue (established from above by scholars, philosophers, religious or political leaders) vs. the lived practice of dialogue (dialogue “on the ground,” as it were); geographies of dialogue – sacred spaces and counter-spaces, where does dialogue take place and why; political motivations: when does dialogue occur and for what purpose; methods and vehicles of dialogue and strategies of representation; inter-religious vs. inner-religious dialogue, or even the internal dialogue of religious converts; dialogue in fiction and fact – especially in relation to the literary genre of dialogue; the ethnography of interfaith, its politics and aesthetics (dialogue in art and architecture, music, or culinary and other practices).

Event Description: This two-day symposium, to be held at the University of Chicago on February 4-6, 2010, will focus on both the classical avant-gardes from the early twentieth century as well as those that ensued in the last decade of so of the past century., In light of recent scholarship and new critical methodologies that have invigorated the study of the modern and contemporary art from east-central, southeastern, and eastern Europe, we think it timely to reconsider both the classical avant-garde period and the subsequent 'neo-avant-gardes'. Rather than rehearsing the scholarship from the 1970s, through the 1990s that first addressed the interwar period in "Eastern Europe", we believe it important to question the historiographical assumptions (and the scholarship based on them) in light both of the "second" avant-gardes from the post-1989 era and of the emergent approaches of visual studies that have reconfigured the practice of art history in the museum and the university. Thus, we have organized the conference to highlight new perspectives and to stimulate debate. Toward this objective, the program accommodates both informal discussion and a more formal set of presentations. Finally, the topics suggested and those invited to address them are intended to prompt new thinking and promote vibrant exchange rather than to shore up established positions or consolidate accepted views. Bringing together younger and senior scholars, museum and academic professionals, as well as art and architectural historians from Europe and the United States to address the varied avant-gardes in and from "Eastern Europe" will afford a breadth of viewpoints and an exchange of perspectives that can lead to "new histories of modern art".

Event Description: This two-day symposium, to be held at the University of Chicago on February 4-6, 2010, will focus on both the classical avant-gardes from the early twentieth century as well as those that ensued in the last decade of so of the past century., In light of recent scholarship and new critical methodologies that have invigorated the study of the modern and contemporary art from east-central, southeastern, and eastern Europe, we think it timely to reconsider both the classical avant-garde period and the subsequent 'neo-avant-gardes'. Rather than rehearsing the scholarship from the 1970s, through the 1990s that first addressed the interwar period in "Eastern Europe", we believe it important to question the historiographical assumptions (and the scholarship based on them) in light both of the "second" avant-gardes from the post-1989 era and of the emergent approaches of visual studies that have reconfigured the practice of art history in the museum and the university. Thus, we have organized the conference to highlight new perspectives and to stimulate debate. Toward this objective, the program accommodates both informal discussion and a more formal set of presentations. Finally, the topics suggested and those invited to address them are intended to prompt new thinking and promote vibrant exchange rather than to shore up established positions or consolidate accepted views. Bringing together younger and senior scholars, museum and academic professionals, as well as art and architectural historians from Europe and the United States to address the varied avant-gardes in and from "Eastern Europe" will afford a breadth of viewpoints and an exchange of perspectives that can lead to "new histories of modern art".

Event Description: The bustle of nineteenth-century Paris, the City of Light, was deftly captured by Impressionism. But through the medium of prints, artists probed the social and psychological depths of the period. These prints, whose subject matter ranged from the prurient to the exotic, were often unsuitable for display outside the collector’s studio. The Darker Side of Light evokes those shadowed interiors and private introspections to tell a far less familiar story of late nineteenth-century art.

Campus Map: maps.uchicago.edu
Event Description: The 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. 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.

A comparison of their surprisingly similar aesthetic strategies around 1963 and their divergences afterward, opens onto an understanding of the critical stakes surrounding Warhol's most celebrated and still impervious paintings.

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).
