Title: Egocentricity and shiftability
Contact Name: Josef Stern

Campus Map: maps.uchicago.edu
Event Description: Abstract: According to some authors (e.g. Lewis), the situation with respect to, which an autonomous representation is evaluated has got to be the, situation in which the representation is tokened. Alternatively, one may draw a distinction between a variety of representational modes, and construe the egocentric mode (i.e. the mode of thought or discourse such that the situation of evaluation is the situation of tokening) as a special case. I will spell out the contrast between these two views and discuss some of their consequences.

Campus Map: maps.uchicago.edu
Event Description: Introduction by Asst Professor Jennifer Wild, Dept of Cinema & Media Studies., Chantal Akerman’s D’EST retraces a journey from the end of summer to deepest winter, from East Germany, across Poland and the Baltics, to Moscow. It is a voyage Akerman wanted to make shortly after the collapse of the Soviet bloc "before it was too late," reconstructing her impressions in the manner of a documentary on the border of fiction. By filming "everything that touched me," Akerman sifts through and fixes upon sounds and images as she follows the thread of this subjective crossing. Without dialogue or commentary, D’EST is a cinematographic elegy., "Her camera shows flat landscapes and ribbons of city streets, modulated by the change of seasons, by the succession of day and night. The East is a space of muffled sounds, traversed by the footsteps of passers-by, sporadically pieced by music, laughter and strange interjections. It is an epidermal space: the camera slides over appearances ('like a caress', says Akerman)... The East, no longer monolithically impersonal, is shown as both familiar and completely strange. This is a haunting and, quite literally, extraordinary film."—Francette Pacteau, San Francisco Film Festival [Chantal Akerman, 1993, 107min, Belgium, France, Portugal, 16mm print courtesy of Walker Arts Center]

Event Description: As fossil fuel prices rise, oil insecurity deepens, and concerns about climate change cast a shadow over the future of coal, a new energy economy is emerging. Wind, solar, and geothermal energy are replacing oil, coal, and natural gas, at a pace and on a scale we could not have imagined even a year ago. For the first time since the Industrial Revolution, we have begun investing in energy sources that can last forever. Plan B 4.0 explores both the nature of this transition to a new energy economy and how it will affect our daily lives., Lester R. Brown is founder and President of Earth Policy Institute. He is considered a pioneer of the concept of environmentally sustainable development. His books have been published in more than forty languages. He has been honored with numerous prizes, including a MacArthur Fellowship, the United Nations Environment Prize, and Japan's Blue Planet Prize., Cosponsored by the Program on the Global Environment., The World Beyond the Headlines series is a collaborative project of the University of Chicago Center for International Studies, the International House Global Voices Program, the Seminary Co-op Bookstores and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, and is funded in part by the McCormick Foundation. Its aim is to bring scholars and journalists together to consider major international issues and how they are covered in the media.

Event Description: Mary Ruefle is the author of several volumes of poetry, most recently A Little White Shadow (Wave Books, 2006), an art book of "erasures", a variation on found poetry; Tristimania (Carnegie-Mellon University Press, 2003), Among the Musk Ox People (2002); Apparition Hill (2001); Cold Pluto (2001); Post Meridian (2000); Cold Pluto (1996); The Adamant (1989), winner of the 1988 Iowa Poetry Prize; Life Without Speaking (1987); and Memling's Veil (1982)., About Ruefle's poems, the poet Tony Hoagland has said, "Her work combines the spiritual desperation of Dickinson with the rhetorical virtuosity of Wallace Stevens. The result (for those with ears to hear) is a poetry at once ornate and intense; linguistically marvelous, yes, but also as visceral as anything you are likely to encounter.", She is the recipient of both National Endowment for the Arts and Guggenheim fellowships as well as both an American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature and a Whiting Foundation Writer's Award. She lives in Vermont, where she is a professor at Vermont College's MFA program.

To Give Birth According to Sade and Pasolini’s SALÓ: Lecture by Armando Maggi

20 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Film Studies Center
5811 S. Ellis
Thursday, November 19, 2009, 7pm

Building/Room: Cobb 307
Primary Sponsor: Film Studies Center
Other Sponsor(s): Committee on Cinema & Media Studies
Presenter: Armando Maggi, Professor of Italian Literature and the Committee on the History of Culture
Lecture Title: To Give Birth According to Sade and Pasolini’s Saló
Contact Name: Film Studies Center
Contact Phone: 773-702-8596
Campus Map: maps.uchicago.edu
Event Description: Professor Maggi’s talk will be a close reading of two crucial scenes from Pasolini's notorious film 'SALO' OR THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM. Although Sade's novel is almost 700 pages long, critics have paid scant attention to Pasolini's complex strategy of interpretation and conflation of disparate moments from the Sadian text. Maggi will show how Pasolini appropriates the Sadian obsession with Nature and Motherhood, which are the libertine's two fiercest enemies, through an astute interpretation of Constance, the most important female character of Sade's novel., Armando Maggi is professor in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at the University of Chicago. He is the author of several books, including, most recently The Resurrection of the Body, an original and compelling interpretation of Pasolini’s final works: the screenplay Saint Paul, the scenario for Porn-Theo-Colossal, the immense and unfinished novel Petrolio, and his notorious final film, 'SALO' OR THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM, a disturbing adaptation of the writings of the Marquis de Sade. His other books include In the Company of Demons: Unnatural Beings, Love, and Identity in the Italian Renaissance and the co-edited volume Petrarch: A Critical Guide to the Complete Works (both published by the University of Chicago Press).

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.

Lecture Title: New Perspectives on the art-historical study of Chinese bronzes
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: 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.

Event Description: For much of today's public, the art of the late nineteenth century mean Impressionism, an art of the open air and the cafe-concert, evoking the pleasure of the landscape and the city with its many entertainments. But there is another side to the story, a discreet world of individual collecting in which prints, drawings, and small sculpture were kept aside in portfolios or stored away in cabinets. Organized by the National Gallery of Art, this exhibition evokes the shadowed interiors and private introspections that compose a far less familiar history of late nineteenth-century art.
