Workshop | Body Positive Conversation


As women, we're trained from an early age to bond with others over our hatred of our bodies, and/or various different parts of our bodies. We’re taught to believe that loving our body as it is, is inappropriate. We’re taught that our body should look and be a certain way, in accord with socio-cultural standards. Time has come to change this pattern and begin a positive conversation about our body. In this workshop, Dr. Baker will guide you through a simple exercise that will begin a positive body image conversation. Of course, you will be invited to join in the discussion and share your thoughts and opinions with the group.

Discussion | Fascism and Italian-American Culture


Literature on the Fascist regime’s reaches in the Americas has a distinguished history going back to Gaetano Salvemini, whose recording of, and sharp commentary, provides today’s scholars with an invaluable source. In the 1970s, John P. Diggins began groundbreaking research in this field, followed in the next decades by Phillip V. Cannistraro and other international scholars. In the past two decades, with a large amount of primary sources still untapped, research has began to investigate the modalities through which Fascism sought to control Italians abroad and, through them, maintain relations with countries that were not under totalitarian rule. Italian Americans’ self-images during those years were shaped by propaganda, foreign press reports, economic interests, and the establishment of the Fascist League of North America on the one hand, and by the Regime’s cultural and educational showcases along with a network of local police informants, on the other. Fascism, however, was forced to adapt its methods to the requirements and style of the American society and values producing ambiguous cultural and political categories that continued to operate after Mussolini’s fall and the end of World War II. How did the Italian American community and their leadership negotiate their position and role within the larger horizon of the relations between the US and Italy and the US and the Catholic Church? How did ethnic leaders and intellectuals of Italian background interpret the relation between dictatorship and democracy within the Italian communities in the US? To what extent were Italian American radicals also antifascists? How did they respond to Fascism and what relations did they develop with the mainstream Italian American population, by and large supportive of Fascism, and with various factions of Italian antifascist in exile? This seminar is a first step toward addressing these questions by analyzing some aspects of Fascist outreach in America, its reception and consequences.

Film | Duki Dror's Mendelsohn’s Incessant Visions (2011): German Documentary


He drew sketches on tiny pieces of paper and sent them from the trenches to a young cellist who was waiting for him in Berlin. She thought he was a genius, and after WWI she helped him become the busiest architect in Germany. When she planned to leave him, for a communist poet, he built her dream house, every detail tailored to her tastes, from the lake-view living room to the silver-wear and her evening-gowns. When the Nazis came to power, they escaped Germany and left the house forever. Erich and Louise Mendelsohn wandered between continents, between wars, between success and failure, leaving Erich’s magnificent buildings scattered in their path. Erich Mendelsohn, a contemporary of Walter Gropius and Miess van der Rohe, influenced generations of architects. In this creative homage, his story unfolds through correspondence with Louise, a beautiful young cellist who became his wife.

Author Reading | Jill Magid discusses her book The Proposal


Jill Magid forges intimate relationships within bureaucratic structures – flirting with, seducing and subverting authority. Since the launch of her project The Barragán Archives in 2013, Magid has examined the collusion and collision of artistic vision, nationalism and economic interests as they arise in the legacy of Mexican architect and Pritzker Prize-winner Luis Barragán (1902-1988). How do copyright regulations, intellectual property, and cultural legacy intersect? What is at stake when artistic work gets severed from its site of origin, what is the potential of restitution? Magid inserts the variables "love" and "affinity" into such intersections and takes her project partners on an extravagant and revealing saga zigzagging between Guadalajara, Mexico D.F., New York, and Weil am Rhein, Switzerland.

A swaggering opposition circles, impatient for insurrection. The body of the former dictator lies unburied. Set in the present day but inspired by ancient myth, Welcome to Thebes offers a passionate exploration of an encounter between the world's richest and the world's poorest countries in the aftermath of a brutal war. By Moira Buffini. Takes place Sept. 14-17.

How can whites support the struggle against The New Jim Crow?
