1. Lecture: "De-Mystifying Dixie: Southern History and Culture in Global Perspective"
Tuesday, January 29 at 4 PM
Chapel, 109 Herty Field
James C. Cobb is widely recognized as one of the foremost scholars of Southern history and
culture--and among the first to write broadly about the South in a global context. Cobb has
written more than 40 articles and 12 books, mostly about the impact of changing economic
conditions on the South. Two of these, Away Down South: A History of Southern Identity and "The
Most Southern Place on Earth, his book about the Mississippi Delta, are considered classics in the
field. The latter quickly became a model for studying other regional cultures and subcultures, such
as those of Appalachia and New England. Committed to reaching beyond the scholarly community,
Cobb has written pieces for The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal,
the New Republic, The Times Literary Supplement, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. His latest
book, The New America: The South and the Nation Since World War II, was published in 2010 by
Oxford University Press. Cobb's work has won him a string of awards and prizes, named
lectureships, offices in professional associations, most notably the presidency of the Southern
Historical Association--and a dedicated audience of both academics and lay history buffs who
eagerly follow his work.

3. Lecture: "The Scottish Play: Centlivre and The Wonder of Britishness"
Wednesday, January 30 at 5 PM
Special Collections Libraries Building, Room 285
Misty Anderson, Professor of English, The University of Tennessee at Knoxville, is the author of
Imagining Methodism in Eighteenth-Century Britain: Belief, Enthusiasm, and the Borders of the Self
(Johns Hopkins, 2012). The study extends her interest in the evolution of modern sexuality and the
stage in eighteenth-century England to religious studies by turning to the ways that Methodism
functioned in the eighteenth-century British imagination. She has published numerous articles on
the Restoration and eighteenth-century stage, women writers, and the history of sexuality. A
reception will follow the talk. This event is sponsored by the Willson Center for Humanities and
Arts, the Rodney Baine Lecture Fund, and the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library. It is free
and open to the public.

4. ICE-Vision: The Decameron (Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1971)
Wednesday, January 30 at 8 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S150
http://www.facebook.com/groups/120740834290/
ICE-Vision continues with Film Studies major Daniel LoPilato's weekly selections of eclectic,
idiosyncratic, psychotronic, or otherwise eccentric excursions into world cinema.
The first installment of the controversial Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini's compendium of
adapted medieval texts, the Trilogy of Life, this bawdy film from Giovanni Boccaccio's 14th-century
story imagines nine of Il Decameron's tales through a lens at once erotic, slapstick, and
scatological. "Not only are comedy films and church frescos treated as unlikely brothers here,"
writes Joseph Jon Lanthier of Slant, "but Pasolini also alludes to a variety of cinematic tropes to
suggest that even within the broad history of the moving image all genres and styles are created
equal."

6. Lecture: "Shakespeare at the Doves Press"
Thursday, January 31 at 4 PM
Jackson Street Building, Room 123
285 S. Jackson Street
Sujata Iyengar, Professor of English, studies and teaches the ways in which different historical and
cultural settings transform and employ the works of Shakespeare. Her new book project argues
that the rise of "Bardolatry" or Shakespeare-worship corresponded to the emergence of printed
books as familiar, beloved, household objects. She suggests that book artists use Shakespeare to
display their mastery of changing media techniques and new publishing environments. Individual
chapters discuss fine-print letter-press editions, unique "artist's books," limited-run livres
d'artiste, mass-market cover art, and amateur crafts "upcycled" from old play-texts.

"The Georgia Review" presents a reading by acclaimed poet and prose writer Marianne Boruch, who
is touring the state as part of the annual Georgia Poetry Circuit. She is the author of seven books of
poetry, most recently "The Book of Hours" (2011), and a memoir, "The Glimpse Traveler" (2011).
Boruch's son Will Dunlap, a fiction writer and current graduate student in creative writing at the
University of Georgia, will serve as the opening reader for the evening. A Fulbright Visiting
Professor at the University of Edinburgh in early 2012, Boruch teaches in the master's of fine arts

13. Lecture: Visiting Artist Corin Hewitt
Tuesday, February 5 at 5:30 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art, Room S151
Processes of image-making, cycles of consumption and regeneration, and the mining of memory
are at the heart of Corin Hewitt's multi-faceted practice in performance, sculpture and
photography. Merging natural and artificial materials, Hewitt's works question distinctions between
the living and inanimate, suggesting that that self-performance is not limited to the living, and
that the fixity of objects is also suspect. Hewitt lives and works in East Corinth, Vermont and
Richmond, Virginia. Hewitt has exhibited widely, including solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum
of American Art, the Seattle Art Museum, the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, and MOCA
Cleveland in January 2013. His work has recently been included in group exhibitions at P.S.1, New
York; the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, Oslo; the Henry Art Gallery, Seattle; and Galerie
Perrotin, Paris. In 2011 and 2012 Hewitt was the recipient of the Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship
in Fine Arts and The Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant for Painting and Sculpture, and was recently a
resident at the Zabludowicz Collection, Finland.
