Taking a Critical Look at the Portrayal of Immigrants in Children's and Young Adult Literature.

which they live. A critical analysis of immigrant characters and their experiences will be discussed.

reading experiences will be available.

2. ICE-Vision: I Vitelloni (Federico Fellini, 1953)
Thursday, January 27 at 8 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S150
Film Studies major Will Stephenson continues ICE's informal weekly series, selecting a variety of
world cinema classics and subcultural curiosities.
"Ernest Hemingway once remarked that all of American literature came out of ''Huckleberry Finn.''
With only slightly greater exaggeration, it could be said that much of American cinema, at least in
the last 30 years or so, comes out of ''I Vitelloni" . . . It shows all of Fellini's unrivaled virtues -- his
lyrical sense of place, his abiding affection for even the most hapless of his characters, his
effortless knack for limpid, bustling composition -- and very few of his putative vices." -The New
York Times

Georgia Institute of Technology
Hinman Research Building
http://gtcmt.gatech.edu/?p=3871
Noted experimental performance artist Laurie Anderson will discuss her recent works and
collaborative experimentation with Georgia Tech students, faculty and researchers. During her
visit, Anderson also will work with researchers from GTCMT, CATEA, the School of Psychology, and
the School of Interactive Computing on a study that explores how musicians translate dynamic
visual displays into music as assistive technology for the visually impaired.
Laurie Anderson is one of today's premier performance artists. Known primarily for her multimedia
presentations, she has cast herself in roles as varied as visual artist, composer, poet,
photographer, filmmaker, electronics whiz, vocalist, and instrumentalist. Initially trained as a
sculptor, she did her first performance-art piece in the late 1960s. Anderson has gone on to
create large-scale theatrical works which combine a variety of media - music, video, storytelling,
projected imagery, sculpture - in which she is an electrifying performer. As a visual artist, her
work has been shown at the Guggenheim Museum in SoHo, New York, as well as extensively in
Europe, including the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. She has also released seven albums for
Warner Bros., including "Big Science," featuring the song "O Superman" which rose to number two
on the British pop charts. Anderson has invented several novel musical instrument that she has
used in her recordings and performance art shows. In 1977, she created a tape-bow violin that
uses recorded magnetic tape on the bow instead of horsehair and a magnetic tape head in the
bridge. In the late 1990s, she developed a talking stick, a six-foot-long batonlike MIDI controller
that can access and replicate different sounds. In 1999, she staged "Songs and Stories From Moby
Dick," an interpretation of Herman Melville's 1851 novel. She lives in New York.
