Talk | Re-Registering Moroccans: Mediatized Temporalities and the Politics of Recognition in State Storytelling


The talk examines the process by which a Moroccan television producer revitalized a public market storytelling register (rhymed prose way of speaking) associated with proverbs and the wisdom of old folks as a vehicle for modernist liberal messaging. It also describes what several instances of Moroccan audience uptake while watching this program reveal about the salient qualities of re-registering. A reception will precede the meeting at 6:00 pm. Speaker: Becky Schulthies, Rutgers University.

Discussion | Robbing the Jews in WWII Paris: Places, Traces, and Images


“Discoveries” of paintings taken from the Jews by the Nazis during World War II have been taking place since the late 1990s. As the recent case involving German art dealer Hildebrand Gurlitt demonstrates, however, these discoveries and their media coverage do not give an accurate image of anti-Semitic looting during that period. This roundtable will apprehend the looting of Jewish property as a complex process that must be inscribed within the geographical and social space of Paris. In doing so, panelists will describe the way in which spoliation spread across the city and pay attention to the traces it left (or not), from the “disappeared” painting to the pictures of their work taken by the Nazi Dienstestelle Westen (DW) and Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg (ERR).
