2. Lecture: Ari Daniel Levine
Thursday, January 17 at 4 PM
Jackson Street Building, Room 123
The Willson Center 2012-2013 Fellows Series presents "Dislocated Memories: Urban Space and
Diasporic Nostaligia in Song China" by Ari Daniel Levine, associate professor of history and a
cultural historian of early modern China. This project will culminate in a monograph about cultural
memory and urban space in early modern China. When Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song
dynasty (960-1127), which fell to Jurchen invaders in 1126-7, post-conquest literati of the
Southern Song dynasty (1127-1279) responded to this political cataclysm and cultural crisis with a
sense of homelessness. Relocated to South China, they left behind a literature of exile and defeat,
which expressed nostalgia for the city's street life and urban spaces. This study explains how
Kaifeng became a site of collective memory, and how diasporic literati produced a refashioned past
that salved the trauma of personal and national loss.

7. Opportunity: Sundance Institute Creative Producing Fellowship and Lab
Deadlne: Friday, February 8
http://www.sundance.org/programs/creative-producing-fellowship-and-lab/
The Sundance Institute is accepting applications from emerging film producers for the Creative
Producing Fellowship and Lab. Created to help develop and support the next generation of
American independent producers, the year-long program is designed to nurture emerging
producers with project-specific support through labs, grants, and long-term advisor relationships.
The fellowship focuses on the "holistic producer" who identifies, options, develops, and pitches
material; champions and challenges the writer/director creatively; raises financing; leads the
casting/packaging process; hires and inspires crew; and navigates the sales, distribution, and
marketing arenas. The program is intended to hone emerging producers' creative instincts and
improve their communication and problem-solving skills at all stages of a project.
