Playwright Kate Hamill breathes new life into William Makepeace Thackeray's classic novel. Vanity Fair follows anti-hero Becky Sharp and her meek friend Amelia. Becky, a penniless woman with limitless ambition, uses her romantic entanglements and risky business deals to climb the social ladder while the privileged Amelia already sits atop it. But in a society that ignores both women because of their femininity, they must work together to achieve their goals, making Vanity Fair as funny as it is relevant to our modern times.

7. Cinema Roundtable: "'Little Women' Revisited: Adaptation, Gender, and Visual Style"
Friday, February 28 at 4 PM
Fine Arts Building, 400 (Balcony Theatre)
One critic argues that every film adaptation of Little Women acts as a sort of Rorschach test for representations of women during that era. If so, what does Greta Gerwig's new version say about notions of gender and family today? Further, how does this Little Women differ from earlier versions, including Gillian Armstrong's 1994 movie, to say nothing of Louisa May Alcott's original novel?
This Cinema Roundtable addresses the story and style of Gerwig's Little Women and confronts the tale's cultural significance within our literary and cinematic heritage. Panelists include Antje Ascheid (Theatre and Film Studies), Roxanne Eberle and Jed Rasula (both English), and Kate Fortmueller (Entertainment and Media Studies). Richard Neupert (Film Studies) moderates. The roundtable is free and open to the public and the audience will be invited to participate with questions and comments of their own.

9. Symposium on the Book presents Dr. Julie Park
Monday, March 2 at 4 PM
Special Collections Libraries Building, Room 277
Julie Park is a material and visual culture scholar of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England who works at the intersections of literary studies, information studies and textual materiality. Her research examines the unexpected ways in which human subjects are inseparable from the material things, environments and devices of everyday life in historical contexts. She writes about such artifacts, tools and spaces as automata, quill pens, notebooks, grottoes and follies, exploring their abilities to shape, channel and model the innermost experiences of the embodied self in everyday life.
She received her BA from Bryn Mawr College, MA and PhD from Princeton University, and MLIS from the University of California, Los Angeles. She is the author of The Self and It: Novel Objects in Eighteenth-Century England (Stanford University Press, 2010), and editor of several journal special issues: The Drift of Fiction (2011) for The Eighteenth Century: Theory and Interpretation, as well as Interiors (2008) and War (2006) for Eighteenth-Century Fiction. Her current project is My Dark Room, which examines the spaces of inner life in eighteenth-century England, from writing closets, grottoes and ornamented cottages to women's detachable pockets.

10. Call for Submissions: a2ru Ground Works
Priority date for submissions is February 28, 2020
http://groundworks.io
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) issues a call for submissions to its online peer-reviewed collection of interdisciplinary arts projects, Ground Works.
We welcome submissions that integrate research and practice in the fine, performing, and applied arts and design with other disciplines. We seek a wide range of interdisciplinary works that pose a challenge to traditional peer review methods by inviting examination from multiple disciplinary perspectives. Eligible projects have achieved some initial recognition; they may be collaborative or sole-author, but should demonstrably advance multiple fields within and beyond the arts.
