Conference | Thinking Through Feeling: Emotion, Cultural Memory, Aesthetics


The emotions are a vital area of inquiry in contemporary cultural studies, changing the way scholars are thinking about historical change, social conflict, ethical values, and aesthetic forms. How do shame, humility and forgiveness inform the political process of truth and reconciliation? How does artistic practice contain extreme emotions of horror, compulsion, awe, and revulsion? This one-day conference brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines to discuss the power of affect in cultural experience. Participants include Ruth Leys (Professor of the Humanities, Johns Hopkins, author of From Guilt to Shame: Auschwitz and After and Trauma: A Genealogy); Vincent Crapanzano (Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, CUNY, author of Hermes' Dilemma and Hamlet's Desire and Imaginative Horizons); Matthew Buckley (Associate Professor of English, Rutgers University, author of Tragedy Walks the Streets: The French Revolution and the Making of Modern Drama); David Collings (Professor of English, Bowdoin College, author of Monstrous Society: Reciprocity, Discipline and the Political Uncanny) and Eugene Thacker (Associate Professor of Media Studies, The New School for Social Research, author of After Life).

Lecture | Reading (Between) the Lines: Shakespeare’s Old Ladies, with Oscar-Winning Actress Estelle Parsons


The typology of women characters in Shakespeare‘s plays is most commonly described in four parts: Maid, Wife, Mother, Crone. The last of these terms is persistently understood as pejorative, assigning to women beyond child-bearing age not only ugliness and uselessness but also, regularly, demonism. The First Tetralogy’s Queen Margaret leads this group; so do Macbeth’s Weird Sisters. At best (e.g., Juliet’s Nurse), they are seen as ludicrous. Somewhere between mother and crone we have The Life and Death of King John’s Queen Elinor, Richard II’s Duchess of York, The Comedy of Errors' Abbess, All’s Well’s Countess of Rossillion, and of course Cleopatra, “wrinkled deep in time”? Professor Naomi Conn Liebler proposes that Shakespeare offers his old ladies the same degrees of dignity and indignity as he offers (Lear, Gaunt, Prospero) and denies (Polonius, Gloucester, Falstaff) his old men. He attended carefully to female narratives of age and aging, and gave them a remarkably even-handed treatment, inviting us to read the lines on their faces equally as documents of respect and of dismissal. During the lecture, Estelle Parsons, star of screen and stage, will "personate" several of Shakespeare's old ladies, including Richard III's Queen Margaret.

Lecture | Discovering Empires: George Reisner in Nubia


With the heightening of the first Aswan dam in the first decade of the twentieth century, Egyptian authorities asked George Reisner, a talented young archaeologist working in Egypt on behalf of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, to survey a stretch of land below the First Cataract of the Nile prior to its flooding. Excavating 1200 graves of a strange and new culture in one season, Reisner quickly recognized the potential of the geographical area encompassing southern Egypt and northern Sudan (Nubia). Returning repeatedly over the next two decades (1913-1932), Reisner excavated tombs, temples, forts, and towns spanning nearly 4000 years and discovered the artistic masterpieces now on view at ISAW. Rita Freed, John F. Cogan and Mary L. Cornille Chair of Art of the Ancient World, Boston Museum of Fine Arts will focus her lecture on the behind-the-scenes story of those excavations.

Opening Reception | Multimedia Works: Jerry Meyer's Civilization and Its Discontents


Combining appropriated text and images-deftly manipulated in Photoshop-with ancestral ephemera and other nostalgic objects, Meyer's third solo exhibition features a new series of multimedia light boxes and a major installation. The exhibition's centerpiece is the room-sized installation My great-grandfather's attempts to turn sexual energy into electricity to power small machinery based on the principles of Sigmund Freud and Nikola Tesla. The exterior is clad in wooden explosive crates. The interior radiates multicolored light. An antique dressmaker's form clothed in prim Victorian attire greets us, a wire clamped firmly to its glowing nipple. Myriad electronic machinery blinks, whirs and hums in valiant effort. Meyer has exhibited widely at venues including the Eli Whitney Museum, Hamden, CT; Artspace, New Haven, CT; Art Miami, Miami, FL; the Red Dot art fairs in New York City, Miami Beach and London; Art Hamptons, Bridgehampton, NY; the Arts Council of Greater New Haven, New Haven, CT; the San Jose Rep Gallery, San Jose, CA; and the Sharon Arts Center in Peterborough, NH.

Author Reading | Stephen R. Palumbi reads from his book The Death and Life of Monterey Bay: A Story of Revival


Join the author, a Stanford marine biologist and director of the Hopkins Marine Station, whose work with National Geographic in a hotel-room DNA lab proved Japan was selling illegal whale meat, for a fascinating discussion of the way that ordinary citizens matter and how sustainable ecosystems - and otters - stimulate the economy. It is a biography of a place and of the residents who reclaimed it. The foresight and efforts of a handful of students with vision, an unconventional scientist, and a pioneering, rabble-rousing female mayor, whose story has never been told, but who established the first marine reserve in the United States, provide a road map for the way trashed environments of all kinds can actually recover - and the way that can lead to economic revival.
