Book Discussion | To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause: The Many Lives of the Soviet Dissident Movement (in-person and online)


Half a century ago, the Soviet Union found itself unexpectedly challenged by a group of Soviet citizens more who achieved global fame in the longest battle of the Cold War – the battle of ideas. The struggle of Soviet dissidents for the rule of law and human rights made them instant heroes in the West as they pursued the goal of containment of Soviet power from within. Rather than see dissidents as surrogate soldiers of democracy and liberalism behind the iron curtain, To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause takes as its point of departure the idea that dissidents were Soviet people. How do orthodoxies generate their own heresies? University of Pennsylvania's Benjamin Nathans will be in conversation with The New Yorker’s Jennifer Wilson. less

Book Discussion | Mondrian: His Life, His Art, His Quest for the Absolute


Nicholas Fox Weber discusses his new biography. In the early 1920s, surrounded by the roaring streets more of avant-garde Paris, Piet Mondrian began creating what would become some of the most recognizable abstract paintings of the 20th century. With rectangles of primary colors against a dazzling white background, this was geometric abstraction in its purest form. These revolutionary compositions exhilarated, intoxicated, confused, and enraged the international public--and changed the course of modern art forever. less

Book Discussion | She-Wolves: The Untold History of Women on Wall Street


Author Paulina Bren tells the story of how women infiltrated Wall Street starting in the swinging sixties, more when "No Ladies" signs hung across the doors of its luncheon clubs and, more discreetly, inside the brokerage houses and investment banks, up until 9/11. First came the ambitious secretaries who saw that making money might be within their grasp, then came the first female Harvard Business School graduates, who soon discovered an equal degree did not mean equal opportunity. By the 1980s, as markets went into turbodrive, women were being recruited from elite campuses to join in the high-stakes culture of the wolves of Wall Street. As engaging as it is enraging, the stories in She-Wolves offer an illuminating deep dive into the collision of women, finance, and New York. After Bren's talk, she'll be joined by Museum director and architecture historian Carol Willis to discuss how lower Manhattan's Financial District was the stage for a new set of actors. less

Lecture | After the End of the World: Diverging Solutions to the Apocalypse in 2 Sci-Fi Films


This talk looks at two fairly recent scifi films, Christopher Nolan's Interstellar (2014) and Semil Kaplanoglu's more Grain (2017), to consider how materiality, star power and ideology impact postapocalyptic storytelling. Interstellar has quickly become a scifi classic, while Grain, a Turkish German coproduction with a much smaller budget, hardly drew attention in the media. This talk treats Grain as an example of Gulf futurism. While Nolan's blockbuster centers American values and institutions as the saving grace for humanity, Kaplanoglu uses the genre of scifi to critique Islamophobic politics in the West and the repercussions of Western Imperialism for the Middle East and humanity at large. Speaker: Priscilla Layne, University of North Carolina Followed by a reception. less

Book Discussion | Malaparte: A Biography


Curzio Suckert (1898-1957)—best known by his pen-name Malaparte—was not only a literary master but more one of the mystery men of twentieth-century letters. The son of a cosmopolitan German businessman, his mother an Italian, Malaparte led a life that was intimately entwined from start to finish with the twentieth century’s troubled history, and only recently has it become possible to begin to separate fact from the screen of fictions with which he continually surrounded himself. Author Maurizio Serra tells the story of a precocious child who hurried to enlist in the French Army and endured the horrors of trench warfare in World War I. Taking up the pen of the journalist in the interwar years, Malaparte both allied himself and fell out with Mussolini, writing his provocative bestseller The Technique of the Coup d’Etat to popularise the lessons of the Bolshevik revolution and the fascist March on Rome before being sent into exile in provincial Italy. less

Talk | The Museum for Contemporary Nature (in-person and online)


It is by associating with plants and creating gardens that humanity has created the city.

The talk will try to develop this perspective from both a theoretical and architectural point of view.

Book Discussion | King's Navy: Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King and the Rise of American Sea Power, 1897–1947 (online)


Between 1897 and 1945 the US Navy rose to lofty heights, with huge manpower, a lavish roster of ships, more and a hard-earned reputation for professionalism and potency. By 1947, in the wake of the Second World War, the Navy, although still powerful, had been significantly scaled down; much of the senior leadership retired and the wartime edge gradually dulled. This period from 1897 to 1947 was witnessed and to a large degree driven and determined by two admirals, Ernest J. King and King's mentor William S. Sims. These admirals were empowered by two giants of American political and military history, Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Through the lives of King, Sims, and the Roosevelts, Naval War College historian and author David Kohnen has crafted a sweeping history of American sea power from 1897 to 1947. This epic work was made possible through 20 years of research and writing. By accessing undiscovered and recently declassified source material, along with the full cooperation of the King and Sims families, the author has been able to tell new stories and draw fresh conclusions, making this volume a must-have for scholars of naval history. less
