Discussion | System + Taste: Food In Postcolonial Hawai‘i
How do colonial histories shape today’s sustainable food systems? The challenges surrounding Hawai‘i’s current food system have provoked critical attention to issues of land use and development, intersections between race and public health, and the importance of culturally and geographically specific food and agriculture.
In this panel discussion, Hawai‘i serves as a case study for understanding the parameters of indigenous and settler foodscapes, and offers interdisciplinary perspectives on this complex issue. Kaori O’Connor discusses the anthropological and historical context for the development of taste and cuisine in colonial Hawai‘i; Amy Bentley argues for the theoretical application of “deliciousness” to address the societal failures of contemporary food systems; Ashley Lukens presents the application of tactical community food activism as a tool for food system development within a settler state.

Slide Lecture | Wil S. Hylton discusses his book Vanished: The Sixty-Year Search for the Missing Men of World War II
On September 1, 1944, a massive American bomber carrying 11 men vanished over the tiny Pacific archipelago of Palau, leaving behind a trail of mysteries. For more than 60 years, the U.S. government, the children of the missing airmen and a maverick team of scientists and scuba divers searched the archipelago for clues with cutting-edge technology and unyielding determination. This illustrated lecture weaves together the true story of the missing men, their final days, the loved ones left wondering and the broad sweep of world events that converged upon their last mission.

Lecture | Re-Sourcing the Rite
A talk by Professor Gabriele Brandstetter (Freie Universität Berlin).
In 1913, just a year before the outbreak of World War I, the premiere of "The Rite of Spring" provoked one of the greatest scandals in dance history. The aesthetic and political challenges of this work's treatment of "ritual" and "sacrifice," which still confront today's choreographers producing a new version of "Le Sacre du printemps" will be the focus of this lecture. Yvonne Rainer's post modernist production of "ROS Indexical" (2007) and Xavier Le Roy's approach as a contemporary "conceptual" performer in his "Le Sacre du printemps" (2007) will be discussed in their rethinking and re-sourcing of "The Rite."
