Interesting Summer Course: Speaking Up and Speaking Out

GNDR-G205: “Speaking Up and Speaking Out”
Summer Session I, 2010, T/Th 9:30am-12:30pm
Instructor: Emily Schusterbauer

Right now in the U.S., self-disclosure is a part of our everyday cultural landscape. On daytime talk shows and primetime reality shows, people tell everything about their childhood experiences, their relationships, their aspirations, and their sexual practices. Whether to television talk show hosts or untended “confessional booth” cameras, formerly unknown “average Joes” disclose everything from the banal to the bawdy. And, U.S. viewers lap up their confessions, making “tell all” television an exceedingly lucrative ratings bonanza.
In this class, we will analyze the relationship between U.S. feminist activism and such “tell all,” or confessional, speech practices. Breaking down the distinction between popular culture and political activism, we will examine the ways in which “speaking out” about personal experiences has shaped U.S. feminism since U.S. feminist Carol Hanisch’s 1969 declaration that “the personal is political.” We will begin our investigation by examining the relationship between “speaking out” and “consciousness raising,” both of which were advocated by U.S. Second Wave feminists determined to uncover the systemic roots of women’s oppression. Next, we will consider the continued presence of feminist “speak outs” on college campuses and in other communities, despite growing cultural distaste for the decidedly communal speaking practice of “consciousness raising.” Then, we will examine more closely how the feminist practice of “speaking out” has been co-opted by the mainstream media on shows like Oprah and The View. And, finally, we will examine some of the controversies that have surrounded the feminist impulse to “speak out,” paying particular attention to the Recovered Memory controversy that swirled around women’s disclosures of childhood sexual abuse in the 1980s and 1990s.

Interesting Summer Course: Reading Western European Cinema: Love, Anger, Grief and Trauma

Reading Western European Cinema: Love, Anger, Grief and Trauma (WEUR-W406)
Summer Session I | 1:10-2:25 Mon - Fri
Course carries College A&H Credit

This course will investigate the use of fundamental emotions within contemporary Western European cinema. By using a wide range of theoretical tools such as psychoanalysis, feminist theory, film theory and disability theory, students will try to understand, critique and develop insights from major European directors such as Almodovar, Haneke, Fassbinder, and Von Trier. The class will focus on learning to interpret movies as "social documents" that address emotional and social realities of Western Europe.

Baccalaureate for May and August Graduates

Baccalaureate for IU (HOOSHIR is performing)


Date: Friday, May 7, 2010
Time: 5:00pm - 8:00pm
Location: Whittenberger Auditorium at the IMU

Description
FORMAL INVITATION:
Dear Graduates, Students, and University Colleagues:

Conclude your IU collegiate experience with a moment of reflection and thanks, as well as celebration. Attend the Baccalaureate ceremony!

In use since at least the eighth century, the word baccalaureate has come to refer not only to a degree that is awarded at Commencement, but also to a spiritual observance that celebrates achievement and aspiration. At IU, records show that a Baccalaureate ceremony has been held before the Commencement ceremony since 1837, and possibly even earlier.

‘Baccalaureate: An Interfaith Celebration’ pays tribute to wisdom and learning within a framework of the world’s great faith traditions, all of which are represented at Indiana University, and many of which have a voice in this ceremony. As we come together to rejoice and give thanks, we are reminded that while we come from many cultures, together we hold in our hands the treasures of the past and the promise of tomorrow.

This interfaith ceremony of praise, meditation, and prayer is open to all members of the university community.

What to Expect:
Open to the public - no tickets are needed
Dress is business casual – no academic attire necessary
An interfaith ceremony celebrating academic achievement & aspiration
Students will read selected passages from Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, and Unitarian-Universalist faith traditions
Special music by Hooshir, IU’s Jewish A Cappella ensemble
Inspirational remarks by Distinguished Professor Emeritus of English and author Scott Russell Sanders

Union Summer Internships

The AFL-CIO is very excited to announce that Union Summer will return for 2010! Since 1996, Union Summer has graduated over 3000 activists, many of whom continue to work in the labor movement. Union Summer will be looking to recruit and place student activists from colleges and universities across the country to take the fight for justice into the streets in support of our campaign to win good jobs!

Union Summer is a ten week educational internship in which participants are introduced to the labor movement. The Union Summer Internship will run from June 7th through August 13th. It will begin with a weeklong orientation and training, which will be held in Washington, D.C. June 7-June 13. After the training, interns will work in teams in support of the AFL-CIO’s Jobs Campaign in various parts of the country; there will also be classroom instruction on matters related to their activities. Their activities could include assisting in organizing direct actions such as marches and rallies, talking with workers impacted by the jobs crisis, as well as assisting in building community, labor and religious support for the Campaign. Interns will play an important role in helping to build support for our top priority - making sure that everyone that wants a job can get one. Participation in Union Summer is also an ideal way for people to learn about unions and our work in the community.

Union Summer is looking to recruit students with a strong commitment to social and economic justice as and openness to working with people of various races, ethnicities, sexual and religious orientations. Participants should be enthusiastic, energetic and flexible to working long and irregular hours. We are accepting applications from rising juniors and seniors as well as graduating seniors. Women and People of Color are strongly encouraged to apply.

Participants will receive a stipend of $300 per week (minus taxes) to cover meals and other incidental expenses. Each intern will be responsible to getting to and from their orientation training. After the week long orientation, Union Summer will cover the costs of transportation to their internship site. Housing and local transportation costs will be provided by the host site.

We ask that you pass this information along to those students you think would be best suited for the internship and encourage them to apply. Union Summer is a competitive internship and will have a limited number of available positions this year. Please encourage all interested students to apply soon.

CONTACT TARA KAUFMAN AT TKAUF@INDIANA.EDU, AND I WILL E-MAIL YOU A COPY OF THE APPLICATION.

Interested students should complete the application and return it to unionsummer@aflcio.org. The application deadline is May 7, 2010. For more information, students should contact us at 1.888.835.8557 or visit us at www.unionsummer.aflcio.org.

Once again, thank you and we look forward to this being a very exciting and rewarding experience for your students. We will get more information to you in the near future.

In Solidarity,

Rhodes, Marshall, Mitchell, Churchill scholarships information sessions

Please announce to your best and brightest students and encourage them to attend one of two information meetings on Tuesday, April 20, 2010, either 12:30-1:30 or 3:30-4:30 p.m., in the Great Room of the Hutton Honors College, 811 E. Seventh about the Rhodes, Marshall, Mitchell, and Churchill scholarships and the IU nomination process for each. These scholarships support study at one or more British or Irish universities and are among the most prestigious graduate scholarships offered to American students.

The Rhodes, Marshall, Churchill and Mitchell scholarships require candidates to be nominated by their U.S. universities or colleges. To be considered for nomination by Indiana University in fall 2010, an IU student must submit an application to the IU nominating committee by Monday, Sept. 13, 2010. The IU committee strongly encourages students who are interested in any of these scholarships to begin working on their applications and talking with potential referees as soon as possible. The IU application consists of a 750-word personal statement, a 500-word statement on the student’s reasons for studying in the UK and/or Ireland, a 500-word statement on the student’s proposed academic program, two references, and a list of activities and honors.

(The national applications require additional materials and letters of recommendation.) Students who have any questions regarding the scholarships or possible programs of study, should be encouraged to attend an information meeting or, if they are unable to attend, to contact the chair of the nominating committee, Trevor R. Brown (brownt@indiana.edu), or Edda Callahan, International Affairs, Bryan Hall 104, 855-5021, egcallah@indiana.edu.

Below is a brief summary of the key requirements for each scholarship available as of April 2010. For full and current information, students should review the Web sites.

April 16 underground screening

Hi everyone, we hope you come out this Friday for the last underground screening of the semester: three short films by University of Wisconsin professor J.J. Murphy. Murphy spent the 1970s investigating ways to make the most mundane elements of filmmaking into small aesthetic wonders. "Science Fiction" (1979) converts a high school science film into a bewildering sci-fi fantasy. "Sky Blue Water Light Sign" (1972) is probably the loveliest portrayal of a simple nature scene ever captured on film. "Movie Stills" (1977) is a timely memorial to the visual possibilities of Polaroid film as it lingers on the development of its images. (60 minute program)
***************************
The underground film series is sponsored by Indiana University's Department of Communication and Culture. 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.

Interesting ONE CREDIT Course Inside the College: Weapons of Resistance

Weapons of Resistance: Underground Printing and Democratic Revolutions

Description: In any resistance movement, like those against Communist regimes in Europe, underground newspapers play a key role. Students in this class will learn how such newspapers were produced, and will build a working underground printing press and produce a “revolutionary” newspaper themselves, under the guidance of Witold Luczywo, a printer whose innovations were responsible for the success of underground publishing in Communist Poland. Students will research, compose, and publish articles about contemporary democratic revolutions, guided by IU History Professor Padraic Kenney.

This one-credit course will meet on three Saturday afternoons in October. Admission to the course is restricted to advanced undergraduates and MA students. Course is limited to 15 students. Interested students should contact Professor Kenney at pjkenney@indiana.edu with a short explanation of interest in the class.

The course will meet on three Saturdays, October 2, 9, 16, from 1-5PM, in the Polish Studies Center (1217 E. Atwater). Attendance at all three sessions is absolutely mandatory. MA students will complete additional work in consultation with Prof. Kenney.

Jack (John Kuo-Wei) Tchen (New York University)

The Urgency of Knowing: Building a Cross-Cultural Learning Commons

As the U.S. further “globalizes” and we respond to ever-diverse student populations, this nation’s research universities are clearly at a moment in need for more cross-cultural ways of knowing. This is a good time to ask some fundamental questions about our framings and practices. Reflecting on 30 years of work as a public and academic historian, “a curator of brainstorming,” and as a “re-organizer,” Jack Tchen will offer a vision of a cross-cultural learning commons and some thoughts on how we can collaboratively build such spaces at our research universities. The ideas are simple, but doing so does require some foundational reworking of how we do what we do. And this is the hard part. But it can be done and is already happening at our institutions, especially informally in the lives of our undergraduate and graduate students, and younger faculty. But do we recognize it? Do we value it?

Short bio
Professor Tchen is the founding director of the A/P/A (Asian/Pacific /American) Studies Program and Institute at New York University and a co-founder of the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis, NYU. He co-founded the Museum of Chinese in America in 1979-80 where he continues to serve as senior historian. Jack was awarded the Charles S. Frankel Prize from the National Endowment for the Humanities (renamed The National Medal of Humanities). He is author of the award-winning books New York before Chinatown: Orientalism and the Shaping of American Culture, 1776-1882 and Genthe’s Photographs of San Francisco’s Old Chinatown, 1895-1905. And he is co-principle investigator of “Asian Americas and Pacific Islanders Facts, Not Fiction: Setting the Record Straight” produced with The College Board.

Professor Tchen has been building research collections of Asians in the Americas. In doing so, he has critically examined practices of collections and archives to make sense of how we come to know what we know, and don’t know.

Professor Tchen is now working on a book about New York City – focusing on the unrecognized tradition of the intermingling of people, creativity and improvisation of everyday residents. He is also editing The ‘Yellow Peril’ Reader: Understanding Xenophobia. He regularly collaborates with filmmakers and media producers, artists and collectors, and through the A/P/A Institute sponsors and produces hundreds of programs and performances. Most recently, he co-curated MoCA’s core exhibition: “With a single step: stories in the making of America” in a new space designed by Maya Lin.

German Film Festival, April 22-24

German Cinema from the East Makes Its Mark in Indiana 20 Years after Unification

On April 22-25, 2010, Indiana University-Bloomington will host an international symposium and film festival entitled Making History
ReVisible: East German Cinema after Unification.

This event is the grand finale of a 4-month teaching, outreach, and research initiative called The Indiana University DEFA Project:
Remembering 1989-90 through East German Films of the Transition, which began in January. Faculty, university students of all levels, and high school students from across the state have been rediscovering the last films of the East German DEFA Film Studios (1946-1992), features made in the tumultuous period of political, social, and cultural upheavel surrounding the end of the Cold War. Indiana University students have run the WENDE FLICKS series, a traveling retrospective from The DEFA Film Library, throughout the semester and have steadily drawn audiences between 100-200 for these films that were largely neglected by East and West German audiences at the time of their release.

Dialogue between students, professors, and community members of all generations has ensued as Bloomington, a Midwestern cultural mecca, has encountered the films of Ulrich Weiss, Dieter Schumann, Helke Misselwitz, Peter Welz, Heiner Carow, and others with great curiosity and openness.

The symposium and film festival will feature panels and films that chart the development of an (East) German cinema after the fall of the Wall and also ask larger questions about the integration of the past into the archives of the future--through cultural politics, education, the academy, and current film industrial practice. Bringing together the East's most prolific screenwriter Wolfgang Kohlhaase (the recipient of the Berlin Film Festival's 2010 Honorary Golden Bear for Lifetime Achievement), filmmaker Peter Kahane, and production duo Katrin Schloesser and Frank Loeprich of the critically successful Oe- Filmproduktion with cultural politicians Thomas Krueger (President of the Bundeszentrale fuer politische Bildung) and Helmut Morsbach (Managing Director of the DEFA Foundation), film journalist Knut Elstermann (RadioEins), and a number of top U.S. scholars of German cinema, the event will combine theory and praxis.

Three German films will also have their Indiana premiere: Summer in Berlin (Sommer vorm Balkon, 2005), Whiskey with Vodka (Whisky mit Wodka, 2009), and You Are Not Alone (Du bist nicht allein, 2007), which will have its U.S. premiere in Bloomington. Audiences will also have the chance to see Peter Kahane's The Architects (Die Architekten,
1990) and the GDR cult film Solo Sunny (1980). Earlier in the week, on April 18, the campus will welcome American filmmaker and video artist Amie Siegel with her filmic essay on memories of East Germany, DDR/DDR (2008). Filmmakers will be on hand for Q & A after each film.

A parallel high school symposium will introduce the next generation to university study through German history and cinema. All this enthusiasm for German culture and history comes at a time when Indiana public school systems are threatening to cut their laguage and culture programs.

Interesting Fall Course: CLLC L210: SINGING AND DANCING AMERICA: AMERICAN SOCIETY, CULTURE, AND POLITICS THROUGH STAGE AND SCREEN MUSICALS

CLLC L210: SINGING AND DANCING AMERICA: AMERICAN SOCIETY, CULTURE, AND POLITICS THROUGH STAGE AND SCREEN MUSICALS (3 credit hours, A&H)

Instructor: Tom Robson, Ph.D. Candidate in Theatre & Drama
Meeting Times: Monday & Wednesday 11:15-12:05, Thursday screenings 7:00-9:30 (arrangements can be made if a student is in rehearsals)

The American musical comedy has endured for well over a century, adapting to meet the shifting needs and tastes of the American public. As such, the musical affords us an opportunity to examine these shifting audience perspectives. How have musicals, both on stage and on screen, challenged societal assumptions and prejudices over their lifespan? Through reading and screening musicals from both stage and screen, this course asks students to analyze these reflections of societal concerns and values. Course assignments will include weekly online responses, one research paper, one presentation, and an end-of-semester final project. Artwork is often a strong window into the beliefs of a society, yet the musical has often been derided as too frivolous for study. This course will capitalize on the very popularity that causes scholars to dismiss the musical to show how the form reveals a great deal about American culture.

Musicals to be discussed will range from Show Boat to The Producers, from Grease to South Park. Special attention will be paid to issues of race, gender, and sexuality. Please e-mail instructor Tom Robson at trobson@indiana.edu with any questions.
