1. Lecture: "Regionalism and Consciousness: Thomas Hardy's Imagined Geographies"
Tuesday, October 23 at 4:30 PM
Park Hall, Room 265
Keith Wilson (University of Ottawa, Canada) is a world-renowned expert on the author Thomas
Hardy. Hardy's characterization of socially obscure figures, who inhabit re-imaginings of what was
in the 19th century one of the lesser known regions of rural England, recurrently places them
within contexts that acknowledge their marginality while enlarging them into narrative centrality.
Hardy's settings implicitly invite the reader to consider the notion of "abstract humanism" that
Hardy introduced into his figuring of Marty South at the end of The Woodlanders, in which class,
gender, and geographical identity become almost irrelevant, particular as those social and regional
topographies may be, and fundamental as topographical specificity is in Hardy's writing. This
paper will explore the paradoxical intimacy in Hardy's work between evocations of, on the one
hand, the regional and particular and, on the other, the universal and emblematic. It will offer
Hardy's sense of that relationship as a partial explanation for the genre shift that takes him from
being England's last major Victorian novelist to its first major modern poet. This event is organized
by the British-Irish Studies Program, and sponsored by the Willson Center for the Humanities and
Arts and the Rodney Baine Lecture Fund.

2. Interview in the Galleries: Julie Martin and Robert Whitman
Wednesday, October 24 at 7 PM
Georgia Museum of Art
Join special guests Julie Martin and Robert Whitman, key figures behind Experiments in Art and
Technology (E.A.T.) for a discussion of E.A.T.'s "The New York Collection for Stockholm."
Moderated by Lynn Boland, Pierre Daura Curator of European Art.
E.A.T. was officially launched in 1967 by the engineers Billy Kluver and Fred Waldhauer and the
artists Robert Rauschenberg and Robert Whitman. These men had previously collaborated in 1966
when they together organized "9 Evenings: Theatre and Engineering," a series of performance art
presentations that united artists and engineers. 10 New York artists worked with 30 engineers and
scientists from the world renowned Bell Telephone Laboratories to create groundbreaking
performances that incorporated new technology. Artists involved with "9 Evenings: Theatre and
Engineering" include: John Cage, Lucinda Childs, Oeyvind Fahlstroem, Alex Hay, Deborah Hay,
Steve Paxton, Yvonne Rainer, Robert Rauschenberg, David Tudor, and Robert Whitman. Video
projection, wireless sound transmission, and Doppler sonar had never been seen in the art of the
1960s. These art performances still resonate today as forerunners of the close and rapidly-
evolving relationship between artists and technology.

4. ICE-Vision: Institute Benjamenta, or This Dream People Call Human Life (Stephen and Timothy
Quay, 1995)
Wednesday, October 24 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.
"A young man enters the oppressive environment of a school for servants. The all-male student
body submits to strange rituals and choreographed lessons in subservience designed to reduce
them to 'absolute zero.' Gradually, the young man's attraction to the headmistress and his efforts
to discover the secret history of the institution threaten the order of things, triggering destructive
passions that lead to death and a dreamlike escape." - Ron Magliozzi, MoMA Film

10. Spring Course Opportunity: LLED 8950 Arts-Based Inquiry in Diverse Learning Communities
Instructor: Dr. Melisa "Misha" Cahnmann-Taylor, [log in to unmask]
Spring 2013, Wednesdays 12:20-3:20 PM
"Anthropology that doesn't break your heart just isn't worth doing anymore." -Ruth Behar, The
Vulnerable Observer
This course examines techniques of arts-based (visual, performance, & literary arts) scholarship to
increase the value, validity, and impact of qualitative research for understanding culturally and
linguistically diverse learning communities. Students will:
Explore the history and theory of arts-based and poetic approaches to educational research in
culturally and linguistically diverse communities
Identify connections between arts-based research and other methods used in humanities-oriented
empiricism (e.g. autoethnography, case study historical research, etc.)
Practice the techniques and craft involved in arts-based approaches to inquiry
Complete a pilot arts-based inquiry project among culturally and linguistically diverse learning
communities and/or project of their own choosing
Create a critical community for arts-based research through readings, discussions, and practice.
Methods Topics
The practice of arts-based inquiry in qualitative approaches, including: ethnographic,
auto/biographical (e.g., life history, auto-ethnography), case study methods, narrative, content,
and semiotic analysis. Although the practice of arts-based research tends toward vibrant
reiteration between activities of information collection, interpretation, and representation, for the
purposes of discussion, we will address each of these activities of research both separately and in
relation to other activities.
Information Collection [e.g., field-notes (poetry notes, heart-notes), observations (sketches,
photos), recorded interviews (trans/scripts), archives (collages)]
Interpretation (e.g., interpretivist, constructivist, feminist, aesthetic and critical approaches)
Re (presentation) Narrative (e.g., ethnographic poetry, drama and fiction, as well as readers theater
and other scripts), visual arts (e.g., painting, interactive computer technology, photography, and
film), as well as dance and other explorations of embodied knowledge.
