"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).

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.
