Conference | Cosmos, East and West Astral Sciences in South and East Asia and Their Interaction with the Greco-Roman World


The astral science was among the most developed bodies of knowledge in the ancient world. A complex and interrelated system of astronomical observation, astral rituals, divination and physiognomy was developed in Greece, India and China. While each civilization cultivated this knowledge along its own cultural trajectory and each system contained features unique to its own, there were moments when their paths crossed and ideas cross-fertilized and hybridized. This conference is concerned with the traditional lore of the cosmos and its evolution in South and East Asia, and how the astral knowledge of the “West” was received in the “East” in the pre-modern world.

This 'show-and-tell" talk examines the ideological messages embedded in vernacular photographs preserved in private archived of former Soviet citizens. More specifically, it will focus on vernacular photography as a micro-technology of power, one that translates into everyday terms and naturalizes for subsequent generations such profoundly ideological constructs as empire, nation and citizenship. Speaker Olga Shevchenko is Professor of Sociology at the Department of Anthropology and Sociology at Williams College (Massachusetts), where she teaches courses on social theory, postsocialism, sociology of consumer culture, photography, and social memory.

Classical Music | Mannes Orchestra performs Strauss' Tod und Verklärung


PROGRAM: Richard Strauss (1864 – 1949) Tod und Verklärung (Death and Transfiguration) About the composer Richard Georg Strauss was a leading German composer of the late Romantic and early modern eras. He is known for his operas, which include Der Rosenkavalier, Elektra, Die Frau ohne Schatten and Salome; his Lieder, especially his Four Last Songs; his tone poems, including Don Juan, Death and Transfiguration, Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks, Also sprach Zarathustra, Ein Heldenleben, Symphonia Domestica, and An Alpine Symphony; and other instrumental works such as Metamorphosen and his Oboe Concerto. His compositions became standards of orchestral and operatic repertoire. Strauss, along with Gustav Mahler, represents the late flowering of German Romanticism after Richard Wagner, in which pioneering subtleties of orchestration are combined with an advanced harmonic style.

Discussion | The Fabulous James Brown and His Vanishing Millions


Tied up in the courts for years, reporter Sue Summer keeps the controversial James Brown Estate case involving politicians, lawyers, and a charity on the front page. The American soul music legend James Brown, who died in December 2006, left his entire estate, more than $100 million, to educate poor children in South Carolina and Georgia. More than ten later, not a single penny has reached those children. The reason: dozens of lawsuits, powerful judges have it out in a case involving race, class, marriage, and wild accusations, with lawyers collecting millions in legal fees, paid out of Brown’s estate. Sue Summer of The Newberry S.C. Observer has followed the case from the beginning. Come meet her with Kevin Flynn of The New York Times, Journalism Professor Charles Seife, and Distinguished Writer in Residence James McBride as the four discuss the reporting challenges of one of the most controversial music cases in recent years. Refreshments to be served following the discussion.

Discussion | Thus Spake Orunmila! Words and Images in the Black Mediterranean


The arrival in Italy of migrants from Africa, while igniting heated debate on immigration, has urged Italians to reconsider their historical connections with the African continent and assess new cultural relationships. In the poetry anthology Migrazioni/Migrations, renowned Italian and Nigerian poets headed by Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka tell the choral story of how Africa and Italy have always been united by a common sea and a shared experience of migration. The book editor, Alessandra Di Maio, and writer Maaza Mengiste will converse about how this project has come to life, and how poetry and photography remain powerful instruments of resistance in the global era.

Lecture | Oceanic Urbanism


Littorals and archipelagos are in many ways itinerant, overlapping territories—whose affiliations to empires, states, or sectarian entities are multifocal, contested, and constantly shifting. The Swahili coast of eastern Africa exemplifies this phenomenon: its port cities and towns have long functioned as global contact zones, where diverse societies meet and exchange ideas, commodities, and cultural traditions. This lecture will focus on the material fabric of daily life in East Africa’s oceanic cities, showing how they are simultaneously chronotopes of modernity and memorials to ancient histories of transcultural reciprocity and competition, overturning the prevailing notion that we can easily divide the study of African cities into before and after colonization. From the vantage point of the Swahili coast, the current fascination with transnationalism is simply the newest iteration of a complex struggle to control the crossings of people, ideas, and things in a fluid world. With: Prita Meier.
