Lecture | The Long Life of the Picturesque Italians Filming Italians in Inter-war America


A lecture by Giorgio Bertellini (University of Michigan and Tiro a Segno Professor of Italian American Studies, NYU) Educated in philosophy and film studies in Italy and New York City, Giorgio Bertellini is a historian of film and visual culture particularly interested in how silent American and European cinemas turned racial, national, and gender differences into entertaining visual and narrative resources. His work addresses questions of transnational stardom and cultural history, as well as the relationship between silent films and their neighboring arts and media. He is the author of Emir Kusturica (Editrice Il Castoro, 1996 expanded edition 2010) and of numerous essays on silent film aesthetics and reception. He has also served as editor of The Cinema of Italy (Wallflower Press, 2004; repr. 2007) and Silent Italian Cinema: A Reader (Libbey; forthcoming 2010); and as coeditor, with Richard Abel and Rob King, of Early Cinema and the 'National' (Libbey, 2008). His work has been supported by the Michigan Society of Fellows, the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, the Fondazione Bellonci, and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies (Harvard). His first American monograph, Italy in Early American Cinema: Race, Landscape, and the Picturesque (Indiana UP, 2009), is based on the work that was a co-winner of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies Dissertation Award. His next project, Divo/Duce: Masculinity in 1920s America, is a study of film and political stardom that addresses the simultaneous rise to fame of Rudolph Valentino and Benito Mussolini in 1920s America. Part of Classic & Contemporary Italian Cinema: Screenings & Discussions.

Lecture | Once upon a Time in Kamchatka: The Search for Natural Quasicrystals


Paul Steinhardt is the Albert Einstein Professor in Science at Princeton University and director of the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science. One of the leading figures in modern cosmology, he has made fundamental contributions to the "inflationary" scenario for the first moments after the Big Bang and presented a radical alternative, known as the “cyclic” model of the universe. In addition, he has worked on the nature of order in solids, developing the theory of quasicrystals, which are intermediate between random structures and perfect crystals. Steinhardt and colleagues have also shown that quasicrystalline order can be used to engineer devices for optical communication, that medieval Islamic architects used quasicrystalline tilings to decorate their buildings, and, most recently, that this exotic form of ordering may occur naturally. His lecture will illustrate the power of theory to reach from mathematical abstraction to real life adventure.

Author Reading | Salvatore Basile talks about his book Fifth Avenue Famous: The Extraordinary Story of Music at St. Patrick's Cathedral


As the city’s preeminent Catholic institution, St. Patrick’s Cathedral has served one of the most dynamic and diverse communities in the world for well over a century. It has been intimately entwined with the history of New York: a major center of culture in the nation’s cultural capital. The Cathedral Choir provides an extraordinary and largely overlooked insight into this history, and in the author’s pitch-perfect exploration, it becomes a microcosm for the larger trends, upheavals, and events that have made up the history of the city, the nation, and even the world.
