Lecture | How American and British Artists Captured the Excitement and Trauma of Living in a Rapidly Mechanizing Society
Dr. Julie Wosk will present a talk about her book Breaking Frame: Technology, Art, and Design in the Nineteenth Century — a groundbreaking view of how British and American artists pictured the widespread hopes and fears about new industries and mechanical inventions that were transforming human life. Artists captured the dramatic and sometimes traumatic impact of the Industrial Revolution and new transportation machines--factories spewing smoke, trains speeding and sometimes crashing, and satirical views of people-turned-automatons as they walk along on their steam-powered legs and ride in their fanciful steam-powered flying machines.
Meanwhile, American and British designers produced ornamented steam engine frames and sewing machines that looked like classical Greek architecture, and produced cast-iron furniture and building facades that imitated the look of costly hand-carved stone. Many of the images in Breaking Frame tellingly presaged the issues that still intrigue and haunt us today. We continue in our quest for electronic speed, we try to avert technological catastrophes, and we develop new human-like robots to help us and do our work.

Lecture | Languages of the People: A Romanian-Jewish Linguist on Yiddish and French
Lazӑr Șӑineanu (1859-1934) was a pioneering philologist and folklorist in his native Romania, bringing to bear on Yiddish and Romanian the historical and pluralistic approach to language developed in France by Michel Bréal. As an émigré to France in 1901, Lazare Sainéan applied his method successfully to the history of French argot and to the language of Rabelais, but got little response to his work on Yiddish. “Languages of the People” traces the relation of this philological trajectory to the conflicts of the time –-in Romania and in France and among Jewish groups in Europe –- about what constitutes a nation and who can belong to it.
Natalie Zemon Davis is Professor Emerita, Princeton University and senior fellow in Comparative Literature at the University of Toronto. A prolific scholar of global social and cultural history and historiography, her wide ranging and influential books include: The Return of Martin Guerre; Fiction in the Archives. Pardon Tales and their Tellers in Sixteenth Century France and Trickster Travels: A Muslim between Worlds in Early Modern Times.

From “Drunk by Noon” on Milk and Scissors in 1996 to “I Know You Are There” on Twilight in 2001 to “The Petrified Forest” on Honeymoon in 2009 to the present day, their songs are haunted by American history and a search for the mysterious in the mundane, the surrealism of every day life. Their latest album, Wilderness, a companion to Sparks's book of essays and art of the same name, will form the ground of Sparks’s lecture.
