6. Lecture: Antje Ascheid
Friday, February 16 at 12:20 PM
Miller Learning Center Room 214
"City Girls in Nazi Cinema?: Working Women in Berlin" presented by Dr. , Theatre & Film Studies. While German films during the Weimar era frequently celebrated urban modernity, films produced under Nazi rule had a very ambivalent relationship to the German metropolis. Hitler hated Berlin, which he saw as tainted by communist and Jews hoping to raze large parts of the city to built a new capital, Germania, in its stead. National socialist ideology further disapproved of working women and reduced the purpose of females solely to marriage and motherhood. As a result, the image of the modern working girl, so popular in 30s Hollywood, was rarely seen on German screens. When it does appear, however, the result is worth close attention. This talk investigates how Berlin and its working women are seen in films of the era, suggesting a highly ambiguous and deeply contradictory form of public entertainment in a state marked by patriachy and propaganda.
Dr. Antje Ascheid is associate professor of Film Studies in the Department of Theatre and Film Studies at UGA. She is currently working on The Berlin-Film: A Critical History of the German Capital in Cinema (Berghahn Books, forthcoming). Her previous publications include Hitler's Heroines: Womanhood in Nazi Cinema (Temple: Philadelphia, 2003).

7. Reading: Kevin Barry
Tuesday, February 20 at 6 PM
Cine, 234 W. Hancock Ave
Kevin Barry is the author of the novels City of Bohane (2011) and Beatlebone (a New York Times Notable Book of 2015), as well as two story collections, There are Little Kingdoms (2007) and Dark Lies the Island (2012). He won the Goldsmiths Prize for Beatlebone, the 2013 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award for City of Bohane and the 2007 Rooney Prize for Irish Literature for There Are Little Kingdoms. In 2016, he received the Lannan Foundation Literary Award for Fiction. Barry has also won the European Union Prize for Literature and the Authors' Club Best First Novel Award, and was shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Award. He lives in County Sligo, Ireland.
The Irish Examiner called There are Little Kingdoms "some of the most beautiful and lyrical writing ever composed by an Irish writer." The New Yorker described City of Bohane as "virtuosic - A grizzled piece of futuristic Irish noir with strong ties to the classic gang epics of yore." And of Beatlebone, the Washington Post wrote, "Barry is largely able to carry it off by force of imagination and by a super-charged prose style that borrows heavily from James Joyce, Flann O'Brien, J.P. Donleavy and other past masters of extravagant Irish lyricism at its high-modernist peak."
Barry's reading is presented in partnership with Avid Bookshop. A public reception with light refreshments and book sales will begin at 6 PM prior to the reading at 6:30.

17. Call for Proposals: a2ru 2018 National Conference
"Arts Environments: Design, Resilience, and Sustainability"
November 1-3, 2018
Hosted by the University of Georgia
https://a2ru.org/events/2018-national-conference/
Deadline: Friday, April 6
The 2018 theme, "Arts Environments: Design, Resilience, and Sustainability," is an invitation to explore the relationship between creativity and diverse cultural locations, by framing discussions about design, resilience, and sustainability in context of interdisciplinary artistic and environmental practice. The theme offers an opportunity to think broadly about the ecology of the arts and their environments, in terms of performance, design, and engineering. A land and sea grant institution inextricable from the town of Athens and the broader ecologies of Georgia and the Southeast, the University of Georgia will provide a rich context for thinking creatively about Arts Environments globally.
a2ru invites proposals for presentations from researchers, field leaders, and practitioners about arts-integrative research, practice, and curricula that explore the intersections, synergies, and interfaces between arts, environments, and their influence on design, resilience, and sustainability. Presentations vary in length and number of participants. We accept panel, paper, performance, and working group proposals. a2ru encourages proposals featuring panelists who are diverse in their backgrounds, pursuits, affiliations, locations, and ages. The ideal panel discussion will consist of participants who represent a broad range of perspectives and experiences, and represent more than one institution.
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) is a partnership of institutions committed to ensuring the greatest possible institutional support for the full spectrum of arts and arts-integrative research, curricula, programs, and creative practice for the benefit of all students and faculty at research universities and the communities they serve.
