Classical Music | Bach at Noon


The organ works of J.S. Bach (1685-1750) offered in 30-minute meditations. Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Brandenburg Concertos and the Goldberg Variations as well as for vocal music such as the St. Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Since the 19th-century Bach has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time. "The term 'baroque' has been widely used since the 19th century to describe the period in Western European art music from about 1600 to 1750... Many famous composers from the first part of the baroque period came from Italy and have a link with Venice, including Claudio Monteverdi and Antonio Vivaldi. Monteverdi was born in Cremona, but moved to Venice where he was 'maestro di capella' at the San Marco basilica. Vivaldi was born in Venice and was one of the greatest baroque composers. It is thanks to these strong musical traditions of Venice that we have today's music. Without Venetian church music and Monteverdi's advances with polyphony, the great traditions of choral music in England, France, and Germany would never have developed. Without the operas written by Monteverdi, Cavalli and Vivaldi, not only would the later styles of opera never have been invented. There would be no basis for the American Musical or the German and Viennese Operetta, the Spanish Zarzuela, and even rock, pop, and contemporary music as we know it." The Venice Insider Bach at Noon concerts take place every Tuesdays through Fridays, from September 10, 2019 to May 20, 2020.

Lecture | The Emotional Topography of the Zainichi Memoryscape: Korean Ghettos in Postwar Japan Revisited


A Korean ghetto existed in every large Japanese city in the early postwar period, and up to the late 1960s. These ghettos provoke the same images and associations in Japanese people’s memory: isolated, dirty, impoverished, and dangerous. To many scholars the existence of ghettos confirms the transwar continuity of Japanese oppression of underclass ethnic minorities. But zainichi Koreans who grew up in ghettos, or tongne, often offer a number of spectacular heroic stories about living there. This presentation switches the focus from Japanese society to Koreans themselves, and discusses the important sociopolitical functions of the tongne, along with its continuing symbolic meanings. By viewing tongne as a post-liberation place of origin for zainichi, and by paying attention to the reproduction of its meanings, we can gain a better understanding of the uneven terrain of power relationships within zainichi society. In particular, examination of Korean ghettos in Japan helps to explain why the (pro-North Korean) Chongryun organization exercised great cultural power at least until the 1970s and still defines the emotional topography of the zainichi memoryscape.

Forum | Violence & Democracy in Latin America


This talk focuses on two regions: Urabá, a drug and human smuggling transit region in the north, and Putumayo, a coca producing area in the south, to understand the different forms of non-state governance that operate in the country. It outlines how both licit and illicit economic practices in each region produced and contributed to the varied hybrid governance structures that operate in these regions. The analysis provides a framework for considering both what drives different forms of governance in Colombia’s regions but also will enables scholars to disaggregate the dynamics the underlie disjunctive democracy, violence pluralism, and grey areas in Latin America more broadly. "Illicit Governance on Colombia’s Frontiers" Desmond Arias (PhD, The University of Wisconsin) is the Marxe Chair in Western Hemisphere Affairs and Professor at Baruch College, CUNY. His research focuses on security and politics in Latin America and the Caribbean. He is author of Criminal Enterprises and Governance in Latin America and the Caribbean (Cambridge University Press, 2017), and Drugs and Democracy in Rio de Janeiro: Trafficking, Social Networks, and Public Security (University of North Carolina Press, 2006). "Bootstrap Justice: The Search for Mexico’s Disappeared" Janice Gallagher (PhD, Cornell University) is assistant professor of Political Science at Rutgers University-Newark. Gallagher is interested in how everyday citizens respond to violations of their rights, and examines how social movements, state institutions and other non-state actors affect judicial accountability and human rights compliance. "Resisting Extortion: Victims, Criminals and Police in Latin America" Eduardo Moncada (PhD, Brown University) is assistant professor of Political Science at Barnard College. Within his research agenda, Moncada is interested in understanding the political factors that shape the dynamics and consequences of urban violence and local democracy and development.

Talk | “Mommy, Wouldn’t I Have Been a Slave Back Then?”: Pastness as Position in Reconsidering History Education


In 2018, Lisa, an African American fourth grader at a New Jersey elementary school, was given the assignment of placing herself back in the early 1700s in order to write a first-person “Colonial Character Journal.” Should she imagine herself back in time as a black girl in bondage? Or should she reimagine herself as a white colonial child? Beth C. Rubin, professor of education at Rutgers, considers how historical memory is constructed in educational practice and addresses urgent questions about how we engage students in historical study, particularly in relation to slavery and colonialism, the legacies of which continue to shape the lives of contemporary people.
