What is public space? What are the commons? What is the current crisis about, and why has occupying space played the vital role? What is the history of claiming space?

Saturday, October 29
4PM People's Park, if there is a big crowd (looks good), we will probably move to campus or Rachels.

Bring your knowledge, teach and learn.

It seeks to foster ties between Japanese citizens (mainly youth) and JET participants at the person-to-person level.

The JET Program enables local authorities (prefectures, designated cities and other municipalities) to employ foreign youth for the purpose of improving foreign language education as well as promoting international exchange at the local level. By teaching foreign languages at schools nationwide and assisting with international exchange activities organized by local authorities, participants engage in international exchange on a variety of levels with local residents. In this way, the Program is expected to increase cross-cultural understanding as well as contribute to internationalization efforts within Japan.

Interesting Service Learning Intensive Writing Course for Spring - ENG W350: Going Public: Writing Health and Health Care in the United State

W350 Advanced Expository Writing
Section 16579; BH 246, TR 9:30 to 10:45 a.m.
Topic: Going Public: Writing Health and Health Care in the United States
Instructor: Joan Linton

N.B.: This IW course requires students to perform community service (total of 20 hours minimum)

Going Public aims to help students develop as public communicators through a holistic approach to health in the community and a systemic understanding of healthcare in the United States. It invites students to practice and expand the critical skills of synthesis and analysis and rhetorical skills of persuasion through their service, writing, and research in the community. In going beyond the classroom, students will develop the knowledge and understanding needed to address issues of health and healthcare, and find their own voice in communicating this knowledge to public audiences—the very people whose lives are affected by these issues. They will come to understand both the power of language in creating and transforming publics, and the responsibility that comes with any attempt to manage and disseminate information. The long-term goal is to help seed the kind of collective action that will enable individuals and families to co-produce their health within their communities, local and extended, as a key component to improving health and healthcare in the United States.

Readings, discussions, and reflections will emphasize the following areas:
(1) holistic approach to health: not just sickness care but being healthy and staying healthy; not just physical health but also mental, social, behavioral, and environmental wellbeing;
(2) cultural literacy in relocating the self in the community: exploring shared goals, assessing community needs and strengths, building trust and reciprocity, perspective taking
(3) critical literacy: skills of research and analysis and a “systems thinking” approach that takes into account the broader cultural and economic contexts shaping health and care and their local and personal effects
(4) civic engagement: understanding public health as a “commons,” locating collective action in the co-production of health in the community within a democratic process of “polycentric governance”
(5) rhetorical skills and strategies for narrating public stories:
These readings will provide a framework for class discussions and reflections on service-related activities, with a view of creating meaningful and sustainable change within communities.

In addition to performing service, students will collaborate on 3 sets of presentations. In writing assignments, students will: reflect on their service experience in light of ideas from readings and presentations; develop one or more focused messages for their community organization for distribution to targeted audiences; and develop and write up a research project. They will document their journey of going public in stories of self, us, and now. Since this is an Intensive Writing course, peer reviews and revisions will be built into the sequence of assignments. Throughout the semester, students will be assembling their portfolio of writings to be submitted along with the research paper.

"The In/Visibility of America's 21st Century Wars" Presents Dr. Michael Shapiro

On Thursday, October 27,2011 at 7pm in the Fine Arts Auditorium (FA 015), Dr. Michael Shapiro will deliver a lecture, "War and the Arts: A Politics of Aesthetic Subjectivity." This is the second lecture in "The In/Visibility of America's 21st Century Wars" series.

Dr. Shapiro's lecture will be drawn from his current book project, “Studies in Trans-disciplinary Method: After the Aesthetic Turn.” This project’s primary conceptual contribution involves displacing psychological subjects with aesthetic subjects. He discusses a variety of applications, among which are applications to the relationship between the arts and war after 9/11. In those applications his questions have been fourfold: In what sense is contemporary war present (and for whom); what roles does the arts play in that presence, what grammars must we heed to appreciate arts-war-presence relationships, and finally, what is at stake in the ways in which warring violence will have been represented?

"The In/Visibility of America's 21st Century Wars" is a lecture series concerned with the paradox of a highly visualized contemporary American experience of war that is, on the one hand, ubiquitous and utterly present in public, popular culture; and on the other hand, invisible or absent, with no tangible sense that "America" is at war. This series is part of Themester, and is sponsored by the Institute for Advanced Study Remak New Knowledge Seminar, College Arts and Humanities Institute, Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs, Cultural Studies Program, and the Departments of Communication and Culture, Gender Studies, and Political Science.

For further information about this event or the series in general, please contact James Paasche at jpaasche@indiana.edu or Jon Simons at simonsj@indiana.edu.

Potential Intensive Writing Course for Second Eight Weeks: German E-371 The Enlightenment and Its Shadows

German E-371
The Enlightenment and Its Shadows
Michel Chaouli
MW, 4:40 - 6:55, LH 019

This course sets the stage for a great clash between ideas that have shaped our modern world. On one side, the side of what has been called the European Enlightenment, are thinkers that have put in question traditional values, be they social, religious, or philosophical, all in the name of a new order based on the principles of fully rational and critical thinking. On the other side, we find the critics and opponents of these rational thinkers. We will be interested in examining the form which this critique of rationality has taken. We will see that these critics of rationality do not oppose it, are not anti-rational or non-rational, but rather drive rationality to its limits. What this means is that if one follows the rules of rationality far enough, one reaches certain limits that result in interrupting rationality itself. We will be interested in the way that works from several different disciplines -- literature, poetry, philosophy, and psychoanalysis -- explore these moments of the interruption of rational thinking, showing that they contain new modes of meaning that were unavailable to the thinkers of the Enlightenment.

Readings include texts by Mendelssohn, Kant, Lessing, Novalis, F. Schlegel, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Nietzsche, Freud, and Kafka, among others.

All readings and discussion in English. Fulfills College A&H requirement. Course may be taken for intensive writing credit (with permission of instructor and the College of Arts and Sciences).

Books:
Sigmund Freud, Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis (Liveright, ISBN: 0871401185).
Sigmund Freud, Beyond the Pleasure Principle (Norton, ISBN: 0393007693).
Franz Kafka, The Trial (Schocken, ISBN: 0805209999).
Heinrich von Kleist, Selected Writings (Hackett, ISBN: 0872207439).
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, Nathan the Wise, Minna von Barnhelm, and Other Plays and Writings (Continuum, ISBN: 0826407072).
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Twilight of the Idols and The Anti-Christ (Penguin, ISBN: 0140445145).

Outraged Ad Competetion

OUTRAGED AD COMPETITION
Check us out on our Facebook page for updates! (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=299276846754541)

Dear Students:

The Commission on Multicultural Understanding (COMU) invites all students to participate in redesigning the “Indiana University OUTRAGED at Discrimination” advertisements. The OUTRAGED advertisements were initially created by graphic arts students in 1994 and published at the Indiana Daily Student with the victim’s consent in certain types of cases and upon a report being received by one of the bias-motivated incident teams. The university’s goal behind this effort was to address this type of behavior by sending a strong message that would remind students that lack of respect towards other human beings through hateful acts would not be tolerated.

Because the original pieces are outdated, COMU would like to encourage students who are interested in joining this effort, to submit relevant drawings that can replace what we currently have. A $100 award for first place, $75 award for second place and $50 award for third place will be given to the best ads.

The committee is looking for art that will carry new ideas, extremely eye-catching and effective at preventing future incidents. The topics can encompass a specific topic (i.e., sexuality, race, religion, etc.) or a broader scope (i.e., diversity, unity, respect, tolerance/acceptance, etc.). The final size of the advertisement will be scaled to ¼ of a page. Art can be in any form that best conveys the notion of OUTRAGED advertisements and the attached samples from the original publication should serve as a point of reference. The committee is confident that with the number of talented students we have at IU, their fresh ideas can produce the type of art that will carry the intended message. We are eager to see those creative ideas!

The deadline for submissions will be November 18th by 5:00 p.m. Pieces should be submitted electronically to COMU at comu@indiana.edu. You can also send any questions you may have to this e-mail or call Cameron at 812-856-0921.

We look forward to hearing from you.

International Internships through AIESEC

Hello,

AIESEC Indiana is offering you the opportunity to find internships abroad! We offer internships for undergraduate students, recent graduates, and graduate students. AIESEC was created to promote unity after international conflicts due to WWII. To achieve unity, we send students abroad on international internships established by local committees in the respective countries. At the same time, our local committee works on creating opportunities here for international students with local corporations. AIESEC works with many large corporations such as Price Waterhouse Coopers, UBS, and Nike. We are the largest student-run organization in the world, and operate in 111 countries with more than 60,000 active members and more than 940,000 alumni. AIESEC offers students the opportunity to be global citizens, to change the world, and to get experience and skills that matter today.

We offer more than 8,500 internships in four areas: Education, Management (Business), Technology, and Development (NGO work, etc.). These internships range from 6 weeks to 18 months, and some of them, mostly Technical and Management, are paid. We are currently looking for students who are willing to leave for this Spring Semester (January-May or longer, 2012). If you are required to have an internship for your degree, if you talk to your advisor it is possible to receive credit for an internship abroad so that you are not missing an entire semester. However, we also will be offering summer internships in the spring and will be holding info sessions then.

If you or anyone you know are interested in expanding your skills in leadership, getting job experience before you enter the working world, and want to travel, please come meet us in our office hours! They will be held in the Bryan Room in the IMU (See below for instructions for getting there and times) throughout the semester.
