\nThursday, February, 12, 4:30 to 6 p.m. <\/p>\n


\n \u201cWriting Philosophically Informed Fiction\u201d Philosophy Professor Cheryl Foster

\nIn her presentation Cheryl Foster will examine the role of \u201cfortuitous failure\u201d in the direction her humanistic writing has taken since her sabbatical. She will also read a brief excerpt from her (as yet unpublished and possibly failed) first novel False as Water. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cSalvator Rosa\u2019s Fortuna and the Fortunes of Salvator Rosa\u201d Art History Professor Wendy Roworth

\nThe Italian painter and satirist Salvator Rosa (1615-1673) was one of the most influential artists to assert artistic freedom and to represent in his paintings and poetry the rivalry for patronage and the status of artists in 17th century Rome. In this illustrated talk, Roworth will discuss Rosa\u2019s painting Allegory of Fortune and an important rediscovered drawing as expressions of his conflicted attitude toward money and fame. <\/p>\n


\nThursday, February 26, 4:30 to 6 p.m. <\/p>\n


\n \u201c(Re)Scoring the Silent Film: Music, Modernism, Affect\u201d George Steele, 溏心vlog免费B站, English doctoral student

\nGeorge Steele will read from his dissertation-in-progress, which explores connections between early 20th century improvisational film music practices and the contemporary trend of rescoring silent film live. This talk will explore whether cultural circulations of the \u201csoundtrack\u201d today (film trailer play on YouTube, iPod culture, or rescoring silent film live) subvert or reinforce an industrialization of music wrought by early mainstream filmmaking. <\/p>\n


\nThursday, March 5, 4:30 to 6 p.m. at The University Club, Club Room <\/p>\n


\n \u201cBlue State Bible Belt: Evangelical Protestantism in 20th Century New England\u201d History Professor Evelyn Sterne

\nIn May 1897 a small group of evangelical Christians gathered in Rumney, N.H. to form the First Fruit Harvesters, a religious community seeking to spread the gospel and recapture the purity of the early church. The group identified as Pentecostal yet was ambivalent about speaking in tongues until one weekend in August 1908 when one Harvester after another was overcome by this \u201cgift of the Spirit.\u201d Who were the Harvesters, what happened that fateful weekend, and how did it affect their future as a religious community? <\/p>\n


\n \u201cVoices of Katrina: Speaking in the Aftermath\u201d Communication Studies Professor Judith Swift:

\nJudith Swift will present her research for the Katrina Project regarding the ongoing struggle for disaster recovery in New Orleans, Louisiana. Based on her interviews with an array of people and agencies navigating the aftermath of the storm, the project includes an archive of interviews, the creation of a theatre piece that explores scientific, economic, sociological, social equity and aesthetic issues surrounding the rebuilding of the city, and a dedicated website (in progress) that contains a completed script, public domain music, images and technical design suggestions for production use by theaters around the country. <\/p>\n


\nThursday, April 2, 4:30 to 6 p.m. English Professor Ryan Trimm, 溏心vlog免费B站, English <\/p>\n


\n: “Metropole in the Age of Clouds and Ghosts”

\n“Metropole in the Age of Clouds and Ghosts” examines the fiction of contemporary British novelist David Mitchell to reconsider narratives of modernity and globalization. Mitchell’s novels sprawl over space and time but these tales are bound by intersections and parallels suggesting a deeper embedding of stories and lives, a world more tightly interwoven. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
