WHERE: Ballantine Hall 224

Get more information about how YOU can experience Australian culture yourself, while earning credits toward your undergraduate degree!

Come watch the critically-acclaimed film, Rabbit Proof Fence. This is the true story of a young black Australian girl who leads her younger sister and cousin in an escape from an official government camp, set up as part of an official government policy to train them as domestic workers and integrate them into white society. With grit and determination Molly guides the girls on an epic journey, one step ahead of the authorities, over 1,500 miles of Australia's outback in search of the rabbit-proof fence that bisects the continent and will lead them home. Following the movie, there will be a short talk about what IU students saw as white Australians' perception of Aboriginals today. There will also be information about how you can experience Australia for yourself as an undergraduate student, while earning IU credits. Any questions can be e-mailed to kleusche@indiana.edu.

HORIZONS OF KNOWLEDGE LECTURE

Sponsored by the Departments of Communication & Culture, Gender Studies, History, and American Studies

Presents transgender filmmaker
GWEN HAWORTH
of the award-winning 2007 film “She’s A Boy I Knew”

Speaking on "The Power of Self-Representation in Filmmaking on Issues of Gender and Sexuality"

Friday, October 31, 2008
Noon-1:15 p.m.
Room 100, 800 E. 3rd Street -- Q&A to follow

To see the film prior to the talk, please join us for a screening of
“She’s A Boy I Knew” (70 min.)

Thursday Oct. 30
7:15 – 8:30 p.m. in Wylie 015

Both events are free and open to the public.

Using archival family footage, interviews, phone messages, and animation, Haworth's documentary “She's a Boy I Knew” begins in 2000 with Steven Haworth's decision to come out to his family about his life-long female gender identity. The resulting auto-ethnography is not only an exploration into the filmmaker's process of transition from biological male to female, from Steven to Gwen, but also an emotionally charged account of the individual experiences, struggles, and stakes that her two sisters, mother, father, best friend and wife brought to Gwen's transition.

For more info on the film and filmmaker visit: www.artflick.com

If you have a disability or need assistance, arrangements can be made to accommodate most needs. Please contact Prof. Susan Seizer, 856-1986

Pizza Teach-In: Election 2008

WHAT: PIZZA TEACH-IN ON THE 2008 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
WHEN: THURSDAY OCT. 30, NOON - 1 pm
WHERE: IMU OAK ROOM

Students this fall are immensely interested in analyzing the discursive strategies of the presidential election. This election provides a great opportunity to demonstrate
the relevance of cultural critique, and to help us think about how to interpret the barrage of messages we're receiving.

In response to this interest, AMST and CMCL are co-sponsoring a lunch-hour "Pizza Teach-In" on the rhetorical strategies of the election. A panel of IU professors will discuss the images and arguments at play in the current campaign, leaving much of the hour open for student discussion. This is an opportunity for students of any political leaning to critique and question any aspect of the election with both peers and professors.

2nd 8 Weeks Class

Fall 2008 SLAVIC/COMPARATIVE LITERATURE/JEWISH STUDIES

C565/365 INTERWAR CENTRAL EUROPE:
CULTURAL FLORESCENCE AND APOCALYPTIC VISION
Professor Bronislava Volková volkova@indiana.edu
T R 4-6

The years between the two wars presented a curious paradox in the heartland of Europe - Austria, Germany, Czechoslovakia and Poland. This area was characterized both by a particularly rich cultural florescence and an especially by an acute apocalyptic perspective.

The course adopts an interdisciplinary approach and links the political threats hanging over the area with the scientific, scholarly and artistic achievements of the period. Special emphasis is laid on the role of the Jews in the crosspollination of the intellectual climate. The issue of human values is explored in an integrative picture of these years. The authors read present a delightful smorgasbord of geniuses like Freud, Musil, Th. Mann, S. Zweig, K Capek, Kafka and Witkacy.
