Arts and Museums
What was Modernism? Was it a style, an ideal, a politics, a form of life or none of these things? And what about its central concepts like authorship, realism, truth, teleology, medium specificity, and expression? With the growing sense that Postmodernism is in decline, we might begin to get a clearer sense of what Modernism was and what its aims were. This symposium asks whether Modernism is dead for good (and for the best), or whether its death was announced prematurely.
Discussion format: Nell Andrew (UGA), Todd Cronan (Emory), Lisa Florman (Ohio State), Elizabeth Goodstein (Emory), Sarah Hamill (Oberlin), Gordon Hughes (Rice), Dalia Judowitz (Emory), Andrew Mitchell (Emory), Charles Palermo (William and Mary), Michael Schreyach (Trinity), and others.
Seminar discussion will revolve around pre-circulated papers. If you would like to take part in the seminar discussion, please contact Todd Cronan in advance of the event at todd.cronan@emory.edu

"To Happiness and Beyond: Are You Flourishing in Life?"
featuring
Corey Keyes
Associate Professor of Sociology
Is happiness a warm blanket, or is it a prescription for a longer life with greatly reduced mental illness and cardiovascular disease? Emory University's Associate Professor of Sociology Corey Keyes will explore this concept, share his research and entertain discussion on February 12, 2012 at the Emory Alumni Association's Faculty Within Your Reach program at the Orlando Museum of Art. Keyes notes that adopting happiness is simply the first step toward flourishing in life.
With the right ratio of positive to negative, we flourish, which Keyes' research has revealed is a far more secure and higher state than "happiness." The majority of us would answer that we feel happy. Says Keyes, "With that, you might say that the whole world is high on life, but when you look at the flourishing criteria, those numbers drop by half."
Are you flourishing?…

Deng Xiaoping and His Opening to the World
Ezra Vogel, renowned scholar of modern Japan and China, will deliver a public lecture at Emory University on Monday, February 13 as part of The Halle Institute's spring 2012 China Speaker Series.
Vogel will discuss the legacy of Deng Xiaoping, who, unlike Chairman Mao, lived abroad before coming to power. He lived in France from 1920-1925 and then spent a year in the Soviet Union. As secretary general of the Communist Party for over a decade, he had broad experiences in meeting leaders of the communist party of other countries. From 1973-75, under the guidance of Zhou Enlai, he was the leading Chinese official meeting leaders of foreign countries. By the time he came to power in 1978, he had formed the basis of deeper relations with Europe, Japan, and the United States. During his leadership (1978-1992), China expanded its relationship with western countries, and he mended relations with the Soviet Union. His approach to foreign relations can be illustrated by his relations with world leaders whom he met d…

Carlos Reads Book Club reads Hesiod's Theogony
Tricky Titans, bundles of nymphs, and a revolving-door account of divine succession fill the thousand-plus lines of Hesiod’s Theogony, a mythical account of how the world came to be— and how a poet got his voice. Led by Dr. Sandra Blakely, Associate Professor in the Classics Department, readers will dive into the poetry and mythology of this late eighth-century BC poem, considering its historical context and Near Eastern influences; the ritual realities and local cults of the gods; and contemporary hypotheses for the meaning of the poem, preserved from the earliest boundary of the Greek literary tradition. Registration is required by calling 404.727.6118.
Fee: $25 for Carlos members; $35 for non-members and includes the cost of the book.

Conflict in Sudan and South Sudan
Graduate School
July 9, 2011 marked the independence of South Sudan and the completion of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement between the Republic of Sudan and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army. Six months later conflict in the region continues. Since independence tensions along the Sudan and South Sudan border remain high and regional security is threatened by communal clashes within the South as well as ongoing conflicts about oil revenue. In light of these unfolding events, the Institute for Developing Nations and The Carter Center's Conflict Resolution Program have assembled a group of experts to provide international and regional perspectives on Sudan and South Sudan's ongoing peace processes.

Lecture: The Dark Side: A History of Violence in Tibetan Buddhism
Arts and Museums
Jacob Dalton, Assistant Professor of South Asian Studies at the University of California, Berkeley discusses wrathful deities in Tibetan Buddhism in a lecture titled The Dark Side: A History of Violence in Tibetan Buddhism.
From images of peaceful monks meditating on mountainsides, to the Dalai Lama teaching compassion toward Tibet's Chinese oppressors, Tibetan Buddhism is widely portrayed as a religion of non-violence. Yet a closer look at the art of Tibet reveals quite another image. Witness the demonic beings dancing upon corpses, the skulls filled with blood, the fearsome weapons; this is a far more complex and ambivalent tradition than many imagine, one that at once condemns and embraces violence. In this talk, Dalton traces the history of Tibet's ambivalent relationship to violence.

Sweet Smell of Success (1957)
Arts and Museums
"Sweet Smell of Success" (Alexander Mackendrick; Hill-Hecht-Lancaster/UA, 1957) (1.66:1, 96 min.) Written by Clifford Odets and Ernest Lehman; music by Elmer Bernstein and the Chico Hamilton Quartet; starring Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis. Cinematography by James Wong Howe.
"Sweet Smell of Success" was dubbed by one period reviewer “one of the most cynical movies ever made.” The steely stillness of Burt Lancaster’s performance as the Walter Winchell-based columnist J.J. Hunsecker may have justly earned him a place in AFI’s top 50 movie villains but Tony Curtis’ endlessly ingratiating and deliciously craven press agent Sidney Falco is the heart of this black-hearted movie: That is, if you don’t count Howe’s rendering of New York City itself. Voted onto the National Film Registry in 1993.

Alumni Events
Twelve years ago a group of dedicated BBA student leaders from Emory University’s Goizueta Business School sought to create a collaborative forum for student leaders from the top universities around the world. Their efforts resulted in the first Undergraduate Business School Leadership Conference (UBSLC) and the first dynamic educational platform of its kind. The annual conference continues to expose undergraduate students to leading business thinkers and practitioners, invaluable workshops in leadership development, cases and other interactive exercises. Annual conference participants come from countries such as Italy, France, Ireland, England, Chile, and Singapore. During the two-and-a-half day event, participants not only develop heightened leadership skills and insights but also build a social network with the world’s most promising future business professionals.

As part of the Halle Speaker Series, Al-Jazeera Washington Bureau Chief Abderrahim Foukara will deliver a public lecture about the Arab Spring at Emory University on February 17.
Until recently, anyone suggesting that an Arab country such as Egypt would be ruled by anyone other than the now-deposed Mubarak or his son Gamal would have been labeled either a lunatic or a believer in miracles. The so-called Arab Spring has delivered some miracles in some places, though it has also been nothing short of a painful and bloody labor of freedom in others. So, how much fruit will the Arab Spring's tree ultimately yield?
This event is free, but guests should register online by Thursday, February 16.
Visitor parking is available in the Fishburne deck.

Join the Emory community in Baltimore for a private, educational tour of the newly renovated Baltimore Basilica. America’s First Cathedral, built from 1806-1821, is one of Baltimore’s beloved cultural institutions, offering its visitors stunning architecture and artwork. This docent-led, 45-minute tour is a fascinating look at this National Historic Landmark and open to all ages.
The Basilica truly has something for everyone. History buffs can pore over the letters between various United States presidents and archbishops housed in this National Historic Landmark. Architecure aficionados will appreciate Benjamin Latrobe's neoclassical design, a first for American churches. Art lovers will enjoy the previously hidden frescos of Gospel writers discovered during the recent renovation.
Following the tour, the chapter president, Adam Rothwell 96C, invites all guests to join him for a group lunch at nearby restaurants, Indigma or Ban Thai.
Suggested donations for the Baltimore Basilica tour is $3 per perso…

Lecture - "In Defense of Substantive Public Health Ethics"
School of Public Health
Work relating to public health ethics has exploded over the last ten years. Does this explosion merely represent adding a new set of public health topics (e.g. quarantine, isolation, contact tracing, banning smoking in public places, banning trans-fat in food, etc.) to the issues that medical ethics and bioethics address? Against this narrow interpretation of public health ethics, Dr. Dawson will argue that public health ethics demands its own approach built upon the recognition of public health activity as a distinctive kind of practice with a distinct set of aims, methods and values. Examples from both communicable and non-communicable disease interventions will illustrate the challenges facing the emerging field of public health ethics.

Alumni Events
oin Emory alumni for a presentation and networking reception with Dr. Stuart Zola, PhD, Emory University on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
As one of the nation's leading neuroscientists, Stuart Zola has contributed valuable insights into how the brain organizes memory and how this relates to memory problems such as amnesia. He also is regarded as a leader in the movement to better communicate science and research to the public.
Dr. Zola's own research focuses on memory, its formation, consolidation and retrieval. His work has contributed significant insights into the memory loss in humans that results from head trauma and characterizes progressive diseases such as Alzheimer's. His research also has provided knowledge about less severe memory problems that often accompany depression, chronic stress and normal aging.

Emory scholars Joyce Flueckiger and Narayan Rao lead readers through The Ramayana.
One of India's two major pan-Indian epics, the Ramayana has had a long and sustained history in the development of civilizational values in South Asia. The Ramayana has multiple regional language versions, both literary and oral, in addition to a number of literary forms in Sanskrit itself. It's popularity and influence cannot be over estimated. Its characters are larger than life, occupy an imagined timeless past, and at the same time, they are household names, as familiar as next door neighbors speaking to the present. Episodes from the Ramayana are represented in every conceivable medium: poetry, drama, dance, song, sculpture, painting and film. Since the text of the full Ramayana is too long for our book group, Drs. Joyce Flueckiger and Narayan Rao will lead readers through a retelling of the epic, particular episodes from various regional language version, and an examination of visual representations of these episodes.…

"By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established" (Proverbs 24:3): The Archaeology of Destruction and Household
International
Dr. James W. Hardin is Associate Professor and Middle Eastern Archaeologist in the Department of Anthropology and Middle Eastern Cultures at Mississippi State University
The presentation will focus on the reconstruction of household organization in Judah during the Iron II (ca. 8th century BCE). It centers in particular on one
"4-room type house" excavated at Tell Halif in southern Israel by the Lahav Research Project during the summers of 1992, 1993, and 1999. This house was preserved well in a destruction stratum that eclipsed the site at the end of the eighth century BCE. The excellently preserved materials and their meticulous collection, including micro-artifacts, provide an excellent opportunity to examine post-depositional processes, activity area identification and organization, and what these mean for understanding the organization of broader household and its relationship to other spheres in Judahite society. When these data are compared with ethnographic data and historical data (both bibl…

China's International Identities: Coping with a Conflicted Rising Power
As the world’s most important rising power, many wonder: what kind of role will China take on the international stage? While a number of factors will influence the answer to this question, China’s own conceptions of itself and its global responsibilities will be a major determining factor. In this lecture, Professor David Shambaugh will explore the domestic discourse in China concerning its international identities—and will link these to alternative foreign policy postures that Beijing assumes on the world stage.
David Shambaugh is professor of political science and international affairs in the Elliott School of International Affairs and director of the China Policy Program at The George Washington University. He is also a nonresident senior fellow in the Foreign Policy Studies Program and Center for Northeast Asian Policy Studies at The Brookings Institution. Shambaugh is an internationally recognized authority on China’s domestic politics, foreign relations, military and security, and the international r…

T-Men (1947)
Arts and Museums
"T-Men" (Anthony Mann, Eagle-Lion, 1947) (1.37:1, 92 min.) Produced by Aubrey Schenck; written by John Higgins and Virginia Kellogg; starring Dennis O’Keefe, Wallace Ford and Alfred Ryder. Cinematography by John Alton. Preserved by the Library of Congress.
The first of five films to team Mann and Alton, this low budget, “case-file” crime drama became a major hit for the young Eagle-Lion studio. Though initially received as a new high in location-based realism, today Alton’s low-key lighting effects virtually define film noir visuals at their most stylized, expressionistic extreme.

Lecture: Dancing at the Solstice: The Maidens on the Acanthus Column at Delphi.
Arts and Museums
Gloria Ferrari Pinney, Professor Emeritus of Classical Archaeology and Art at Harvard University delivers the annual Phi Beta Kappa Lecture, Dancing at the Solstice: The Maidens on the Acanthus Column at Delphi.
In the 330s BCE the Athenians dedicated to Pythian Apollo at Delphi an extraordinary monument: a gigantic column wrapped in acanthus leaves, on top of which are three dancing maidens who hold aloft over their heads a large bronze tripod. Why this and why now? The years are a particularly dramatic period in Athenian history, one that opens in 338 with the crushing defeat of the Athenian and Boeotian forces at Chaeronea and the prospect of a Macedonian invasion. Nearly 120 years since its discovery, the meaning of the Column and the occasion for its dedication remain hotly debated topics. This lecture traces the disparate elements of this assemblage to parallels in visual and poetic imagery and identifies in it a representation of a cosmic landmark that is relevant to both Helios Apollo and to its…

"The best and brightest creative talent to emerge in New York City in the age of Obama." - Out Magazine
Pittsburgh-native Kyle Abraham delves into identity and personal history in The Radio Show. Creating an abstract narrative around the loss of communication, he investigates the effects of the abrupt discontinuation of Pittsburgh radio station WAMO on a community, and the lingering effects of Alzheimer's and aphasia on a family. Abraham mixes recordings of classic soul and hip hop with contemporary classical compositions to create an eclectic score that evokes fond memories and a passion for what is lost.

International
Kush Patel, PhD Candidate in Architecture, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
Recent times have witnessed a resurgence of architecture and urban scholarship on the social makings of cities, particularly involving issues of plurality and social inclusivity. Engaging politics and policies, this scholarship has pushed the architectural and aesthetic understanding of space beyond its commonly accepted view as a designed object. Continuing along this critical spatial trajectory, this talk will focus attention on the relationship between space and communication. Specifically, the presentation will juxtapose distinct narratives on Bombay, and bring previously-unrelated perspectives on the city and its spatial practices together in a conversation. By contrasting various expectations, the paper will illustrate the many ways in which the relationship between space and communication at once re-frames questions of voice and
difference, and speaks to multiple urbanisms in Bombay. Throughout, the presentation wi…

One of India's two major pan-Indian epics, the Ramayana has had a long and sustained history in the development of civilizational values in South Asia. The Ramayana has multiple regional language versions, both literary and oral, in addition to a number of literary forms in Sanskrit itself. It's popularity and influence cannot be over estimated. Its characters are larger than life, occupy an imagined timeless past, and at the same time, they are household names, as familiar as next door neighbors speaking to the present. Episodes from the Ramayana are represented in every conceivable medium: poetry, drama, dance, song, sculpture, painting and film. Since the text of the full Ramayana is too long for our book group, Drs. Joyce Flueckiger and Narayan Rao will lead readers through a retelling of the epic, particular episodes from various regional language version, and an examination of visual representations of these episodes. Registration is required by calling 404.727.6118. Fee: $35 for Carlos members; $5…

Conversation with Emory's Bobbi Patterson & NY Times columnist Rob Walker
Rob Walker is the former Consumed columnist for the New York Times Magazine, the author of Buying In: The Secret Dialogue Between What We Buy and Who We Are, and the founder of The Unconsumption Project. In an informal conversation, Mr. Walker and Bobbi Patterson of Emory’s Department of Religion, will discuss one of the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism—that suffering is caused by desire—and the complexity of navigating a culture in which “desire” is manufactured by product designers and advertising agencies, and driven by our own consumerism.
This program is co-sponsored by Emory’s Office of Sustainability Initiatives.
“The most trenchant psychoanalyst of our consumer selves is Rob Walker. ‘Buying In’ is a fresh and fascinating exploration of the places where material culture and identity intersect.” – Michael Pollan.".

Lecture - "Escaping Melodramas: The U.S. STD 1946-48 Experiments in Guatemala and their Aftermath"
School of Public Health
Synopsis: Between 1946 and 1948, the U.S. Public Health Service conducted human subject experiments in Guatemala that involved the use of diseased sex workers, inoculation of unsuspecting subjects with bacterial inoculum, and failure to treat participants when infection followed. The results of the study were never published and the study was unknown until historian of medicine Susan M. Reverby unexpectedly discovered records of the study among the PI's papers at the University of Pittsburgh. In this lecture, Reverby will discuss how she found the papers, brought them to the attention of the CDC, and witnessed the aftermath--apologies at the federal level and the swift investigation by the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, of which the Vice Chair is Emory President James W. Wagner.
