1. Upcoming ICE Events
ICE Seminar: War and Video Games
Tuesday, October 9 at 4:30 PM
MLC Room 248
The sophistication of war video games offers a stunningly realistic experience of ground combat
and a glimpse into the increasingly virtual world of long-distance, push-button warfare. Far less
clear, though, is what these games are doing to users, our political culture, and our capacity to
empathize with people directly affected by the actual trauma of war.
ICE will host a screening and discussion of Returning Fire (44 minutes), a film by Roger Stahl. In
three separate vignettes, we see how Anne-Marie Schleiner, Wafaa Bilal, and Joseph Delappe move
dissent from the streets to our screens, infiltrating war games in an attempt to break the hypnotic
spell of "militainment."
Roger Stahl is an Associate Professor of Communication Studies with interests in rhetoric, media,
and culture. His research focuses on the rhetoric of war, specifically the intersection of military
realities and popular culture. For more information visit http://rogerstahl.info.

Liz Lerman Residency
October 29 - November 2, 2012
Lecture: "Hiking the Horizontal: Making Rules, Breaking Rules"
Thursday, November 1 at 4 PM
Miller Learning Center Room 248
ICE is pleased to host Liz Lerman for a weeklong residency at the UGA, sponsored by the Willson
Center for Humanities and Arts and the Department of Dance. The program is also supported in
part by the President's Venture Fund through the generous gifts of the University of Georgia
Partners and other donors.
Liz Lerman is a visionary choreographer, performer, educator, and writer best known for
organizing highly collaborative works that cut across traditional disciplines and communities. She
has been the recipient of numerous honors, including a MacArthur "Genius Grant" Fellowship and a
United States Artists Ford Fellowship. Her work has been commissioned by the Lincoln Center,
American Dance Festival, Harvard Law School, and the Kennedy Center among many others. Her
recent work, The Matter of Origins, examines the question of beginnings through dance, media,
and innovative formats for conversation supported by the National Science Foundation.
Born in Los Angeles and raised in Milwaukee, Lerman attended Bennington College and Brandeis
University, received her BA in dance from the University of Maryland, and an MA in dance from
George Washington University. In 1976 she founded the Dance Exchange, based in the Washington
DC area and now regarded as one the most innovative and creatively expansive dance companies
in the world. She is the author of many articles and books including "Teaching Dance to Senior
Adults" (1983), "Critical Response Process" (2003) and "Hiking the Horizontal: Field Notes from a
Choreographer" (2011).
Liz Lerman's five-day residency will feature both her mastery as a choreographer and her
extraordinary ability to galvanize and inspire dialogue among multiple voices - artistic, scientific,
and scholarly - in all their varied perspectives. She will lead a series of collaborative workshops
connecting faculty and students from various disciplines to spark new works that will grow with
the continued support of ICE. Interested participants may contact

Her visit will include a public lecture, master classes in the Department of Dance, and training in
the Critical Response Process, a critical feedback methodology that evolved over the past fifteen
years through workshops and a book that has been adopted by many artmakers, educators, and
administrators. Lerman will be joined by John Borstel, a visual artist, writer, arts administrator, and
Senior Advisor for the Dance Exchange. Borstel is the co-author of the Critical Response Process,
and has travelled widely to teach and facilitate this unique feedback system, which emphasizes the
values of dialogue and active involvement by the artist. Interested participants may contact

such as poverty, environmentalism, and education through creative projects and events. We will
have a theme every month concentrating on a different social issue.
We will have two speakers every month to talk about subjects relevant to our theme, and Chris
Cuomo will be our speaker this week. She is a professor of aesthetics, philosophy, and women's
studies, and she is an affiliate faculty member of the Environmental Ethics Certificate Program and
the Institute for African-American Studies. She will be speaking about how the environment and art
are related.

11. JoLLE@UGA Conference: Activist Literacies: Inspire, Engage, Create, Transform
Call for Proposals
Deadline Thursday, November 1
http://jolle.coe.uga.edu/2013conference
Literacy in the 21st century no longer refers only to reading and writing; rather, there is an
increased emphasis on multiple, new and digital literacies. Our theme this year, "Activist Literacies:
Inspire, Engage, Create, Transform" draws on this evolving nature of literacy with a particular focus
on addressing issues of importance to schools and communities. This theme extends to multiple
and multimodal literacies; arts-based, performance-based, and digital literacies; and broadening
and connecting literacies across traditionally separated disciplines and borders. Activist literacies
challenge the binary between high theory and practice by emphasizing participatory action and
acknowledging a more dialogical relationship between theory and practice. We want to frame the
inaugural JoLLE@UGA conference (February 22-23, 2013) in a new way, one that is action-oriented,
informed by research and practice, and also inventive and creative at its very core.
