Lecture | Making Sense of Artist Jasper Johns (online)


Does it mean anything? In a review of 1962, critic Leo Steinberg repeatedly asked this question of Jasper Johns's work. Across his almost 70-year career, Johns's work in painting, sculpture, and assemblage has often overwhelmed critics with ambiguity because his references are either so literal, so personal, or simply rendered opaque. Yet his celebrated legacy has also pressed critics, artists, and viewers alike to imagine other ways of sensing the artwork's meaning and value. In this way, Johns's work resonates with contemporary artworks that get us to question and reframe taken-for-granted elements of our everyday life. This first of three talks--held in conjunction with Jasper Johns: Mind/Mirror--will give participants a comprehensive look at Johns's career, while placing his work in conversation with his contemporary artists who are both indebted and building upon Johns's ongoing legacy.

Book Discussion | The Barbizon: The Hotel that Set Women Free with a Historian (online)


Completed in 1928, the height of the Roaring Twenties, the Barbizon Hotel was designed as a luxurious safe haven for the "Modern Woman" hoping for a career in the arts. Over time, it became the place to stay for any ambitious young woman hoping for fame and fortune. In her new book, Paulina Bren "unpacks" the luggage of several generations of women, mostly young and new to the city, who found a home in the hotel that became a legend. She will be joined in conversation with Andrea Barnet, writer and author of Visionary Women: How Rachel Carson, Jane Jacobs, Jane Goodall, and Alice Waters Changed Our World. Paulina Bren is an award-winning historian and a professor at Vassar College. She received a BA from Wesleyan University, an MA in international studies from the University of Washington, and a PhD in history from New York University.

Discussion | Greek Mythology and Contemporary Literature: A Four Session Course


Participants who register must attend ALL FOUR sessions (April 8, 15, 22, and 29). THIRD SESSION (April 22): Discussion of Madeline Miller's novel Circe that makes a fairly traditional argument for the continuing relevance of Greek myth. REQUIRED READING before the session: Madeline Miller, Circe. The old mythological stories of classical Greece have long influenced Western literature. These stories and their characters, techniques, and ambience have continuously attracted and inspired artists and writers of the entire modern era, roughly the 500 years following 1500. In recent poetry and prose fiction, inspiration comes no less from Greek mythology than ever before. This course will identify some of the key myths from ancient Greece, myths that produced influential figures and lessons--early literature and early science--and we'll discuss some of these themes as manifested in poetry and prose in English since the late 1990s. It would be hard to find a modern poet whose work is uninformed by the ancient Greeks, and many works of literary prose are directly tied to the myths, if only by way of subverting them, feminizing them, queering them, perverting them, anything but worshiping them, since we have learned over these past 500 years to stop short of worship--choosing instead to put our faith in an anxiety of influence, bold misreadings, and making the classics our own. We no longer worship, we play--like the wild, dangerous, heroic, godly figures that populate the mythology of ancient Greek culture. It is no doubt valuable to study the various tellings of Greek mythology in a straightforward, studious way, to ingest its gods and goddesses, its heroes, its schlumps, its glories and failures, ecstasies and miseries, so that we can better understand the works of our time that refer to them so prolifically. That is an education that can take a lifetime. We'll have just a few hours together to talk and try to grasp this enormous subject. By holding up the myths to the transforming lens of the contemporary, we might be able to glimpse aspects of old Greek stories that might otherwise have gone over -- or under, or around -- our heads. Registration is required, and class size is limited. Participants will be expected to have read the material BEFORE coming to the relevant session.

Talk | Religious Studies Roundtable: Reproductive Rights and Judaism (online)


There is no direct statement on abortion in the Hebrew Bible nor the New Testament. Yet conservative Christian legislators often invoke “bible-based” principles as their mandate to ban abortion and deny women’s constitutional right to end a pregnancy. This event explores how different discussion of abortion would be if informed by Jewish practices, which consider the complexity of one being growing to fruition in the body of another. Psychology graduate students Jessica Bush and Samantha Klein will draw on ongoing research projects in qualitative psychology to examine the ways Jewish women make difficult decisions around reproductive choices. Midrash scholar Fran Snyder will illuminate the ways rabbinic approaches to the "right to lIfe" acknowledge complexity as they face questions ancient and new. The discussion will be moderated by Mark Larrimore, Director of the Religious Studies Program at Eugene Lang College.
