Acoustica Electronica

Theater AcousticaElectronica blends the virtuosity found in the classical concert hall with the infectious energy of the late-night dance club. The best of both worlds: artistic depth and irresistible appeal. It is sexy and classy, sensuous and stoic, irreverent and reverential. Bach meets a dance club back-beat, Chopin meets trance, Carmen’s habanera and Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata are blended with house music for a listening experience unlike anything you have ever heard before. Live musicians perform with The WIG, a classically trained, New York based DJ. Professional dancers reinvent the typical "go-go" dancer, blending ballet, jazz, modern and improvised movement. Aerialists fly above the audience as if Cirque du Soleil met a rave. A classical world becomes the technicolor world of the dance club as the audience escapes from their real lives to experience a night of dream, abandon, and ecstasy...

Traveling Between Worlds: Stories in the Classroom

Social Sciences This presentation will assess what kinds of insights are made available to us when we listen to stories, and will expand on this to consider the pedagogical implications of ‘narrative knowing’. Critical to this discussion are questions of standpoint: where does the speaker place themselves within the story they tell – in the center? On the margins? Both inside and outside? – and how are they positioned by others? After considering these questions, the paper will explore a narrative approach to learning, drawing on my experiences in the classroom over the past two decades. Gazette Classification: Education. Lecture. Social Sciences. Speaker(s): Molly Andrews, professor of political psychology, University of East London, co-director, Centre for Narrative Research Elizabeth Dawes-Duraisingh, discussant.

How To Do Precisely the Right Thing at All Possible Times

Social Sciences Most experts tell us what to decide but they don’t tell us how. So the moment we face a novel decision—should I move to Cleveland or Anchorage? Marry Jennifer or Joanne? Become an architect or a pastry chef?—we’re lost. Is it possible to do the right thing at all possible times? In fact, there is a simple method for making decisions that most people find easy to understand but impossible to follow. New research in psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics explains why. Gazette Classification: Humanities. Lecture. Science. Social Sciences.

The Future of Northeast Asia: Mobilization System Life Cycles

Social Sciences Asian politics has been driven by the “Asian economic miracles,” which resulted from the use of mobilization systems. These systems work only in relatively cohesive societies motivated by a high level of fear. When successful, they either decay into stagnant domination by bloated bureaucracies and reactionary interest groups or evolve into more competitive economies and polities. China faces a decisive choice between a milder version of Japanese decay and a reignition of reforms that could yield global leadership. These evolutions will determine power relations in Asia and much of the future of global politics. Gazette Classification: Classes/Workshops. Lecture. Social Sciences.

Biodiversity, Ecology, and Global Change. “Global Change, Biodiversity and Poverty: Insights from the Himalaya”

Environmental Sciences Followed by a reception. Global change in the form of climate, land use and biodiversity change is underway in the Himalayas at an unprecedented rapid rate. The Himalayas are the most spectacular of the 34 global hotspots of biodiversity. With about 15 000 glaciers—the highest concentration in the world— these mountains are also the source of Asia’s eight largest rivers. More than 2.0 billion people inhabit the basins of these rivers. Thus global change in the Himalayas is likely to have serious consequences for almost one third of the humanity. In the first part of his talk, Kamal will present recent data from his group on climate and land use change in the Himalayas. In the second part, he will outline the constraints in maintaining multi-functional landscapes that could conserve ecosystem services and foster human wellbeing. In the third and final part, he will comment on the knowledge and institutions required to promote landscape resilience. Gazette Classification: Environmental Sciences. Lecture. Sustainability.

The Life of Super-Earths

Science In 1543 Copernicus showed that our planet isn't the center of the universe. Centuries later, we know that just as Earth is not the center of things, the life on it is probably not unique either. Or is it? Tonight, learn how the search for "super-Earths" - rocky planets larger than our own that orbit other stars - may provide the key to answering essential questions about the origins of life here and elsewhere. You'll also hear how we face a moment of unprecedented potential - a convergence of pioneering efforts in astronomy and biology to peer into the unknown and determine how unique Earth life truly is.

Time to Plan for a New Chapter in U.S. Relations with North Korea

Social Sciences The death of Kim Jong Il and the ascension of Kim Jong Un to power in Pyongyang give the U.S. the best chance it probably will ever have to start afresh with North Korea. 2012 is a transitional year for every country involved in the Six-Party Talks. It provides an opportunity to prepare for 2013, when with a new president in Seoul, and, if President Obama is re-elected, progress can be made in establishing a real dialogue between Washington and Pyongyang, and re-establishing the Six Party Talks.

Chilsu and Mansu

Film A Single Spark tells the story behind a crucial event in modern South Korean history: the self-immolation of factory worker Jeon Tae-il in 1971 to draw attention to the appalling workplace conditions faced by many Koreans. Jeon’s suicide is widely credited as key to the unionization of South Korean workers. Rather than a straightforward biopic, the film elaborates on Jeon’s life by supplying a parallel story: a young activist five years later is researching a biography of Jeon while going underground due to government harassment of him and his wife because of their own labor activism. A Single Spark renews the political fervor underpinning Park’s sophisticated filmmaking, resulting in a sweeping epic made with urgent verve and compelling narrative drive.

The Devil Probably

Film Once banned in France as an incitement to teenage suicide, Le diable probablement offers a haunting portrait of a truly lost generation. Within a group of young environmentalists looking to address the crisis of world hunger, one strangely charismatic member leaves, rejecting political activism as insufficient to cope with the sickness of contemporary society and resolving to kill himself as the ultimate gesture of refusal. Describing the film as “voluptuous,” Truffaut explains: “Two beautiful girls and two handsome boys animate the film…and I am insisting on their beauty because it is in part the subject of the film: wasted beauty, wasted youth. Bresson plays with these four faces, deals them out like face cards in a card game.". Gazette Classification: Film. Directed By: Robert Bresson.

The Uprising

Film After two acclaimed films exploring the relationship between the recent past and the present, Park goes back to 1901 to tell the true story of a revolt against local Catholics, French missionaries and a corrupt government. When peasants balk at increased taxation by a local government that includes a number of Christian converts, the insurrection quickly becomes a religious war. Yi Chae-su is an uneducated young man who finds himself at the head of the insurrection. The film presents an ambiguous picture of a complex event. On the one hand, the uprising was a rebellion against corrupt local officials and foreign influence over them; on the other hand, it led to indiscriminate massacre. Park presents Lee as an impassioned leader but also a naïve one, one who ultimately transforms into a grim, bloodthirsty warrior. Gazette Classification: Film.

Black Republic

Film Park followed up Chilsu and Mansu with a sweeping drama about a student protester whose life takes a dramatic turn when he hides out in a remote mining town in order to hide from the police. An intensification of Chilsu and Mansu‘s working-class theme, Black Republic boldly pushed the censorship limits with its depiction of exploited labor, mine strikes and police brutality. Co-written by Park, the film subtly uses melodrama to give human dimensions to its vision of a South Korea torn asunder, following the fragile romance that blossoms between the student and a young prostitute struggling for survival in the small village.
