April 2 underground screening

Initially scheduled for last Fall, this screening presents Gunvor Nelson's feature-length experimental documentary Five Artists:
BillBobBillBillBob (1971, 70m), which she made with her frequent filmmaking partner, Dorothy Wiley. The film is a playful and intitmate portrait of five California-based filmmakers, painters, and sculptors, all close friends of Nelson's. Bill Wiley, Bob Nelson, Bill Allan, Bill Geis, and Bob Hudson are the title figures, all of whom get loving treatment in this often-overlooked gem. (70 min.)
***********
The underground film series is sponsored by Indiana University's Department of Communication and Culture. All screenings are on alternating Fridays at 7 p.m. in room 251 of the Radio-TV building on the IU campus. All screenings are free and open to the public, and free parking is ample in the lot adjacent to the building, provided you clearly display an underground flyer on the dashboard of your vehicle.

Are you interested in majoring in the College of Arts and Sciences but also learning about management and leadership? Do you enjoy studying multiple points of view?

LAMP is an honors interdisciplinary program offered by the College of Arts and Sciences in cooperation with the Kelley School of Business.

At LAMP students don’t just learn inside the classroom, we provide a wide variety of co-curricular programs for students to get involved in. During any given week a student could attend a Master Class with the CEO of Clorox, have lunch with the Sudan Desk Officer from the US State Department , and attend a workshop on preparing for a career fair. We encourage students to pursue all their passions, whether that is multiple majors, overseas study, or internship experience.

Interesting Topics S&H Class for Fall 2010: COLL-T 200 Exploring Themester Ideas

College of Arts and Sciences | Exploring Themester Ideas
T200 | 27992 | Barbour
________________________________________
COLL-T 200 27992 Exploring Themester Ideas (Barbour) (3 cr.)
4:00PM – 5:15PM TR

Sustainability is all the buzz these days and for most of us, in
theory anyway, it seems like a worthy idea. Not using up the
planet’s resources and leaving plenty for future generations
certainly sounds like a good plan.

But as with any fervent popular movement, it’s important to balance
the enthusiasm of passionate supporters with our own critical
thinking by asking some careful questions:

What does sustainability mean?
What is the philosophical and scientific case for it?
Why is the science of sustainability so controversial?
What are the costs of choosing sustainable lifestyle alternatives
and what are the costs of not choosing them?
What does it mean to live a sustainable life for the planet, the
nation, the community, and the individual?
Assuming that the case for sustainable living persuades us, what
does it commit us to?
How does the goal of sustainable living influence our choice of
where to live, where to work, how to travel, how to play, how to
shop, cook and eat, etc.?

No one person can help us answer all these questions – to tackle
them properly we would need to consult biologists and
meteorologists, philosophers and political scientists, economists
and engineers, architects and anthropologists. Fortunately, at IU,
we can do that.

T-200 is a team-taught class, drawing on expertise across
disciplines and schools at Indiana University as well as in the
broader Bloomington community to explore the College of Arts and
Sciences 2010 Themester topic, sustain.ability. It will encourage
students to think critically about sustainability and introduce them
to the broad range of sustainability issues with regard to several
substantive subjects – food, transportation, energy, architecture,
recreation, computing, etc. The class will end with a focus on the
greening of the IU campus itself to pull all the themes together and
provide students with a real, concrete example of what green living
actually looks like.

After taking this class, students will have an understanding of what
sustainability entails and why it is important, the ability to think
critically about some of the main issues and controversies involved
in debates about sustainability and to understand the political
stakes involved in those debates, an awareness of the various kinds
of resources they personally consume and the ability to see linkages
between the personal decisions they make and the larger consequences
for the environment in which they live, and the practical knowledge
of what is needed to live a sustainable life.

Class meets twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 PM to
5:15 PM in Woodburn Hall 100. Grading is based on attendance in
lecture, the keeping of a resource journal (where students will
record what kinds of resources they consume or save as they eat,
travel, play, work, sleep, etc.), online assignments and quizzes,
and a service learning component.

Several rows of seats at the back of Woodburn 100 are reserved for
visitors. Lecture topics and speakers will be posted on line well
in advance and we cordially invite members of the community to
attend the lectures that interest them. We only ask that visitors
be “silent observers” and reserve any opportunities for
participation to those students who have enrolled in the class.

Creative Writing Contest: On the Face of It - Transcending Myths and Stereotypes

Express yourself! Join the contest!

Contest Theme: On the Face of It: Transcending Myths and Stereotypes

DEADLINE: Wednesday, March 31, 2010
In celebration of the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month,
the College of Arts and Sciences, Asian American Studies Program, and the
Asian Culture Center present a writing contest.

Criteria and Details For Creative Writing:
The contest is open to all undergraduate students at Indiana University.
The theme for this year’s creative-writing contest centers on the question of identity. We are looking for works that examine the ways individuals have negotiated, challenged, or rejected identities that have been imposed on them by existing myths and stereotypes. These myths and stereotypes can be based on differences including, but not limited to, ethnicity, race, gender, class, sexual orientation, and religion. Myths and stereotypes do not have to relate specifically to Asian Americans.

Criteria for Judging: The submissions will be screened for their relevance to the stated theme, and the winners will be selected based on the literary merit of the work. Winners will be announced at a luncheon to be held from 12 noon to 1:30 pm on Wednesday, April 7, 2010, Grand Hall, Neal Marshall Black Culture Center. All winning entries will be posted on the ACC website.

Awards and Prizes: Three prizes will be awarded as follows:
First Prize: $150.00 plus Plaque
Second Prize: $100.00
Third Prize: $ 75.00

Guidelines for Submission: Entries should be typed using a 12-point font and printed on a letter-quality printer. Include a title at the top of the page, but do not include your name on the entry itself. On a separate title page, include the following information: your name, permanent address, phone number, email address, the title of your piece, its genre, and the following: “APA Heritage Writing Contests.”

Although you may submit only one entry per genre, you may submit work for more than one genre. Each entry may be a short story, a poem, or a creative non-fiction* piece. Prose (fiction or creative non-fiction) must be double-spaced and should not exceed 1,000 words. Poetry must be single-spaced and should not exceed 30 lines.
*Creative non-fiction is defined as writing that employs literary techniques and artistic vision usually associated with fiction or poetry. These pieces, which often deal with the author’s life but may also report on actual persons and events from a personal perspective, are very often written in the first person.

Submit entries via snail mail to the Asian Culture Center, 807 E. Tenth Street, Bloomington, IN 47408; via fax at 856-5030; or via email at acc@indiana.edu. If submitting via fax or email, please include “APA Heritage Writing Contests” in the subject line. For more info, please email acc@indiana.edu

CLLC L230 Permaculture: Learning through Nature

Deadline Approaching for Permaculture Applications: April 2nd

THE EIGHTH ANNUAL PERMACULUTRE COURSE
carries NM distribution

The course will be take place from June 6th through June 20th at the Lazy Black Bear Retreat Center in Paoli, Indiana (located about an hour south of Bloomington and surrounded by the beautiful Hoosier National Forest). The course will be run by me and taught by Peter Bane, Keith Johnson (two of the best Permaculture teachers in the country who are former residents of the Permaculture eco-village Earthaven and are the publishers of the Permaculture Activist, the only Permaculture magazine in North America), and Rhonda Baird (a talented young Permaculture teacher from the forests of southern Indiana).

Permaculture, for those who know little about it, is a design technique for creating sustainable human communities that are in harmony with the natural environment. It is a rapidly growing and internationally recognized design system for creating better ways of living with our life support systems and with each other. It is a set of principles and techniques that aim to create ecologically sound, economically prosperous, and spiritually rich human communities. This course provides students with innovative conceptual tools and the chance to view the future from many different angles. This is a unique opportunity for hands on experience in a class at Indiana University.

Students who complete this course not only get three hours of IU credit, but also receive their certification in Permaculture, which enables them to practice and teach the art and science of Permaculture. Participants will be camping outdoors in tents or staying in cabins for the duration of the two-week course. The course classroom is a renovated barn, the Lazy Black Bear grounds are an inspirational site for thinking about Permaculture, and an expansive dining hall, solar shower facilities and indoor composting toilets are available (as well as ponds for swimming, forest for hiking, gardens for eating, and campfires for gathering around for music and conversation in the evenings). Students must complete an application and be accepted to register for the course.

The application deadline is Friday, April 2nd. The application is available at: http://www.indiana.edu/~llc/academics/permaculture.shtml

This website provides further information about the course and has pictures from previous years. Enrollment is limited to 25 students. In addition to the 3 credit-hour tuition, a fee of $590 will be charged to cover transportation, food, lodging, facilities, and some course materials. Any one wanting to know more about the course is welcome to email me at dhaberma@indiana.edu. Relish this day!

All the program information (including the on-line application) can be found at http://www.indiana.edu/~iuslavic/USRussiaEIProgram.shtml

APPLICATION DEADLINE: April 5, 2010.

This program is open to undergraduate and graduate students.

Funding is available (on competitive basis) for students pursuing study abroad and/or language training under this program. Students applying for components #2 or #3 of the program will be automatically considered for language training stipend awards ($1,000, associated with component #2) and student mobility stipend awards ($3,200 associated with component #3) to support their participation in the U.S.-Russia Global Environmental Issues course with 2-week study-abroad (it is a common application to be considered for all funding). While the program is open to all IU students, only U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible for stipend awards. Students who complete both components #2 and #3 may receive a maximum award of $4,200.

#1) First 6 weeks of summer session II, 2010: “Global Environmental Problems and Solutions” course

#2) First 6 weeks of summer session II, 2010: “Specialized Russian:
Environmental Issues I” or
“Specialized Russian: Environmental Issues II” course

#3) August 1 - August 16, 2010: summer study-abroad course on environmental issues in Russia

“Global Environmental Problems and Solutions”-1 credit One 2-hr class per week during the first 6 weeks of Summer Session II This course will join students from Indiana University Bloomington, Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis, Tyumen State University (Russia), and Tyumen State Agricultural Academy (Russia) via video conferencing. Participation in this class will serve as a basis for building bridges of understanding between students at the two universities and will provide a basic knowledge of environmental issues in the two countries. The course is taught in English.

The purpose of the class is to introduce a range of environmental issues from the US and Russia, to compare the history, cultural context, science, policy, and law of issues shared in common among these and other countries. We will be focusing on the science and policy strategies for studying and solving environmental problems, and on how history and culture affect these.

IU students taking the course (which will be available at the same time in Bloomington and Indianapolis via distance-learning) are eligible for scholarships to be used towards the cost of a trip to Tyumen, Russia.
This course is open to undergraduate and graduate students.

“Specialized Russian: Environmental Issues I” and “Specialized
Russian: Environmental Issues II” courses:
The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures in Bloomington is offering two courses (entry-level and advanced), based on the Russian language skills needed for the participation in summer study-abroad course on environmental issues in Russia. The language support will enable students to function successfully in a foreign language and culture environment while doing the field work in Tyumen, Russia. Since participating students from IU Bloomington and IU Indianapolis campuses may have limited or various prior exposure to Russian, two levels of Russian training in the areas of language and culture are offered. Students who take either of these levels of Russian (which will be available both in Bloomington and Indianapolis via distance-learning) are eligible for scholarships towards the cost of the trip to Tyumen, Russia.

“Specialized Russian: Environmental Issues I”-2credits:
This course is open to undergraduate and graduate students. The goal of the intensive Russian survival course is to acquaint the students with the basic grammatical structures of Russian along with sufficient vocabulary for a working introduction to the language. The focus of the course will be on the development of oral skills, with written work used for reinforcement. Homework will be devoted largely to repetition and reinforcement while class time, even from the beginning, will be devoted almost entirely to active practice. Listening and reading comprehension will be addressed through special materials, which will also serve as a basis for discussion and oral practice. Readings will introduce aspects of everyday Russian life, figures, events, and issues that are crucial to an understanding of Russian culture.

“Specialized Russian: Environmental Issues II”-1.5credits:
Prerequisites: SLAV-R 302 or the instructor's permission. This course is open to undergraduate and graduate students. The course will cover specific to environmental issues technical terminology, language functionality in different professional environments, and interview skills in Russian. Cultural training will prepare the participants for successful interaction in social and academic situations in Russia.

Global Environmental Issues/Language Learning Field Experience study-abroad course in Russia-2 credits:

* COST: $4,000.
* DATES: August 1 - August 16, 2010 (subject to change: may be moved one week)
* APPLICATION DEADLINE: April 5, 2010.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:
* GPA 3.0 or with the instructor's permission. Please note that the submission of official transcripts is not required. Student transcripts will, however, be reviewed via OneStart.
* On-line application.
* Russian language course work - “Specialized Russian: Environmental Issues I” or “Specialized Russian: Environmental Issues II” course.
* “Global Environmental Problems and Solutions” course.
* Valid PASSPORT for traveling abroad.
* Non-refundable deposit: $500 (upon acceptance in the Global Environmental Issues/Language Learning Field Experience class).

This course is for undergraduate or graduate. Previous experience in environmental science is desirable but not necessary.

The study-abroad portion is a two-week summer trip to the Tyumen region, to follow the 6-week, 1-unit course in environmental issues and the main language training. US students will visit field stations at Lake Kuchak and at Khanty-Mansiysk to participate in limnological and environmental remediation research at these sites. At TSU and TSAA, attend lectures given by Russian faculty, and visit the TSU Research Institute of Ecology and Rational Use Natural Resources, TSU Technological Park, TSU Water Cleaning start-up company, TSU Faculty of Biology, TSU Biodiversity Center, and TSAA Agroecology Center to learn about research questions and techniques. Students will also visit heavy industry, power production facilities, and natural resources industries to understand how environmental risk management and pollution abatement are practiced in the region. In addition, students will learn about local, regional, and national culture through visits to historical and new sections of the city, cultural and natural history museums, theaters, and other activities (e.g., a summer circus).

Thank you.

Spring 2010 PATTEN Lecture: W. J. T. MITCHELL

Images and Others -- Migration, Law and the Image: Beyond the Veil of Ignorance
Tuesday, March 30 in Rawles Hall, room 100 at 7:30 p.m.
Mitchell will discuss the convergence of three disciplines: the law, with its entire edifice of judicial practice and political philosophy; migration, as the movement and settlement of living things, especially (but not exclusively) human beings, across the boundaries between distinct habitats; and iconology, the theory of images across the media, including verbal and visual images, metaphors and figures of speech as well as visual representations.

Images and Others -- Idolatry: Nietzsche, Blake, Poussin
Thursday, April 1 in Rawles Hall, room 100 at 7:30 p.m.
He will examine the diagnosis of the return of idolatry and its evil twin, iconoclasm, in contemporary global political culture, and especially in the contemporary tendency to conceive of war in religious, Manichean terms, as a struggle between good and evil. Working through the transvaluations of the idolatry/iconoclasm complex in the philosophy of Nietzsche (Twilight of the Idols and Thus Spake Zarathustra) and the paintings of William Blake, the lecture will stage a re-reading of Nicholas Poussin's classic scenes of idolatry in "The Adoration of the Golden Calf" (London: National Gallery) and "The Plague at Ashdod" (Paris, The Louvre).

As part of Professor Mitchell’s scheduled activities, the following films will be screened on Wednesday, March 31 at 7:30 in Fine Arts 102:

Khaled Jarrar's Journey 110 (2009) (12 minutes) focuses on the 110 meter passageway through a sewage underpass that Palestinians use to go to and from Jerusalem without passing through checkpoints. Since most Palestinians in the West Bank are prohibited from going to Jerusalem, this passageway under a highway that is restricted to Israelis is the only way for many people to visit their relatives or to conduct business. Employing the minimalist techniques of structuralist cinema, Journey 110 offers a perspective on the daily life of Palestinians as seen by a young artist from Ramallah.

Avi Moghrabi's Avenge But One of My Two Eyes (Israel, 2005) (100 minutes) documents the perceptions of an Israeli film-maker of conscience who is in dialogue by telephone with an unidentified Palestinian interlocutor, and who is trying to see his country from the Palestinian point of view. The film captures both ordinary and extraordinary scenes of daily life in the occupied territories showing the touristic Masada ritual, the Samson complex, the Settler's festivals, and daily life at checkpoints. It is an award-winning film that provides one of the best introductions to the moral dilemmas facing Israeli liberals today.

W. J. T. Mitchell, Gaylord Donnelley Distinguished Service Professor, Department of English, Department of Art History, University of Chicago
Tuesday, March 30 and Thursday, April 1 in Rawles Hall, room 100 at 7:30 p.m.

Mitchell teaches in both the English and the Art History departments and edits the interdisciplinary journal, Critical Inquiry, a quarterly devoted to critical theory in the arts and human sciences. He works particularly on the history and theories of media, visual art, and literature, from the eighteenth century to the present, exploring the relations of visual and verbal representations in the culture and iconology (the study of images across the media). Through his own research and Critical Inquiry, he has published special issues on public art, psychoanalysis, pluralism, feminism, the sociology of literature, canons, race and identity, narrative, the politics of interpretation, postcolonial theory, and many other topics.

Screenwriters of two important films participating in symposium at IU's Black Film Center/Archive

The Indiana University Black Film Center/Archive next Wednesday and Thursday (March 24-25) will host its second major program this spring, a symposium devoted to the study of "Cinematic Representations of Racial Conflict in Real Time."

Awarded a New Frontiers in the Arts and Humanities: New Perspectives grant in 2009, the symposium will reassess two classic films in black cinema -- Michael Roemer's 1964 movie "Nothing But a Man" and Ivan Dixon's 1973 adaptation of Sam Greenlee's controversial book, The Spook Who Sat by the Door. In addition, the 1989 documentary by Deb Ellis and Denis Mueller, "The FBI's War on Black America," will have its local premier during the symposium.

Greenlee, who also wrote the screenplay, Mueller and Robert M. Young, the screenwriter and co-producer of "Nothing But a Man" and an accomplished director for television and film, will join a dozen film scholars and historians who will discuss the films and their continued significance today.

Free screenings for the first two films will take place Tuesday (March 23) at the new home of the Black Film Center Archive, located in suite 044B of the Herman B Wells Library. "The Spook Who Sat by the Door," will shown at 9:30 a.m., and "Nothing But a Man," will be shown at 7 p.m., while "The FBI's War on Black America" will be shown at 2 p.m., Wednesday (March 24), in the same location.

The symposium will begin at 6 p.m., Wednesday, with a panel discussion of "Nothing But a Man," a landmark independent film set in the Jim Crow South that was the first dramatic story featuring a largely black cast intended for an integrated audience. It was included in the National Film Registry in 1993.

At 9:30 a.m., Thursday, a second panel will discuss "The Spook Who Sat by the Door," which criticized the racist atmosphere of the late 1960s and early 1970s in the United States by depicting a fictitious black CIA agent who was recruited to integrate the agency. After five years of absorbing knowledge of spy practices, he resigns to use them to lead a black guerrilla movement in this country. The film was pulled by United Artists three days after its release due to its subject matter.

Michael T. Martin, director of the Black Film Center/Archive and a professor of African American and African Diaspora studies, said the symposium will address two concerns: The strategies deployed in film to signify modes of political address and mobilization in real time -- particularly during a period of intense racial conflict in the United States -- and the utility of revisiting cinematic texts for ideological accounts of historical activity.

The films offers distinctive and competing ideological stances about the means of resistance to racial oppression, which in actuality reflected the mobilizing strategies of black militants at the time of the their release. They address labor and gender relations among African Americans, the social experience of rural life in the South and the moral and physical decay of urban spaces, especially in the inner cities.

"'The Spook Who Sat by the Door' addresses the plight and potential revolutionary role of the black underclass in urban America," Martin said. "Moreover, it is distinguishable from the genre of blaxploitation films some critics have assigned it to and, despite being a United Artists production, Spook subverts Hollywood genre conventions on behalf of a political project. In this regard, the film was meant as a work of political provocation," he says.

In addition to "The Spook Who Sat by the Door, " Greenlee is the author of Baghdad Blues, a 1976 novel based on his experiences traveling in Iraq in the 1950s, and three collections of poems, Blues for an African Princess (1971), Ammunition!: Poetry and Other Raps (1975) and Be-Bop Man/Be-Bop Woman 1968-1993: Poetry and Other Raps (1995). In 1990 Greenlee was the Illinois poet laureate.

Along with "Nothing But a Man," Young has made many award-winning documentaries and feature films, such as "Triumph of the Spirit," "Dominick and Eugene" and "Extremities." He remains active in television and recently directed several episodes of "Battlestar Gallactica."

Mueller also co-directed and produced the 2004 film, "Howard Zinn: You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train."

Other participants will include: Terri Francis of Yale University; Devorah Heitner of Lake Forest College; Marilyn Yaquinto of Truman State University; Lamont Yeakey of California State University, Los Angeles, and Fred McElroy, Khalil Muhammad, Karen Bowdre and David Wall, all from IU Bloomington.

Census work opportunity for all students

The United States Census Bureau still urgently needs census workers for the Bloomington area. The pay is $12.50/hr, and you can work as much as you want and whenever you want. I have spoken directly to the census director for our area. They want IU students as workers. My understanding is that the work will start pretty soon, so you need to apply right away if you are interested. The census director told me if you apply you are pretty much guaranteed to get the job. Seems like this could be a way to make a decent amount of money fairly quickly and yet be able to easily work it around your other commitments. And last but not least – it’s important to get an accurate census count of our area, so you would be doing something important for your country!

Call (812)314-7430 about being a census worker.
