SUMMARY:Performance:Esther Dischereit's Flowers for Otello
DESCRIPTION:Please join Alamanya: Transnational German Studies Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop on Tuesday\, Nov. 1\, at 6pm for a multimedia performance with guest author\, German-Jewish poet Esther Dischereit\, as she performs laments from her 2014 work Flowers for Otello. \n\nNorth Quad\, room 2435\nTuesday\, Nov. 1: 6pm\nQ&A and Reception to follow\n\nFlowers for Otello is dedicated to the families of nine immigrants and one policewoman who were maliciously murdered by the National Socialist Underground (NSU) between the years of 2000 and 2007. Due in part to state investigative authorities’ refusal to seriously consider racism as a motive\, these crimes went unsolved until 2011. Flowers for Otello addresses issues of race\, memory\, and violence in relation to these crimes\; in a series of lamentations it offers a unique multilingual perspective on systematic racism in present-day Germany through a medium that is at once poetic\, musical\, and performative.\n\nSpoken word performance in German and Turkish (English translations provided) by Esther Dischereit and Selim Özdogan.\n\nInterpretive dance by Holly Handman-Lopez\nElectronic music by Tom Lopez\nPercussion by Justin Gunter\n\nWe look forward to seeing you there!\n\nCo-sponsored by:\nAlamanya: Transnational German Studies (Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop)\nMusic & Sound Studies Reading Group (Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop)\nThe School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\nThe Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures

SUMMARY:Other:THE DEAD PIZZA SOCIETY IS ALIIIIIVE!!!
DESCRIPTION:It was a dark and stormy night. Deep in the corner of a small cellar in Doomsville\, Delaware\, the dim light of a lone candle struggled against the overwhelming weight of the darkness\, aided only by the occasional flash of lightning. Working too feverishly to notice his visibility waning\, Dr. Victor Frankenstein hurried to put the finishing touches on his creation. Finally\, it was ready. This climax of his efforts had arrived. Two years of ceaseless labor\, all towards one end: life\, instilled in the inanimate body he had meticulously assembled\, destined to cook gourmet pizza for the doctor’s kick start\, Frankenstein Pizza: A Flavor Worth Resurrecting For.His window was narrow. If the freshly thawed corpse lay exposed for even an hour longer\, the ensuing decay would eliminate any chance for the prospective chef to ever breathe the cellar air\, dank with the thriving colonies of mildew climbing the walls. But Frankenstein was only one switch away from completing a circuit that would send 10\,000 volts of electricity through his specimen\, jumpstarting the heart\, introducing a brand new consciousness into the world. The moment of truth. Frankenstein flipped the switch.Nothing. It was at this moment that Frankenstein was suddenly made aware of the fact that he had been living without electricity for the last six months\, having long ago ceased to pay his bills. Hence the candlelight\, he thought. Now stripped of his chef\, his life savings\, the last two years of hard labor\, and his childhood dream of owning a pizza joint\, the doctor decided to quietly spend the rest of his days in his parents’ basement reflecting on deep mysteries like the meaning of beauty and eating the pizza of those more successful than himself.Join us for FREE PIZZA at 6pm\, Tuesday\, November 1st in one of the Angell Hall Auditoriums as we take after the spirit of Dr. Victor Frankenstein\, discussing the meaning of beauty and the extent to which it is okay to discriminate based on beauty. Frightfully yours\,Robert KoehnTreasurer of the Dead Pizza Society

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:War and the 2016 Election: The Great Unmentionable
DESCRIPTION:The most important issue facing the population of the \nUnited States and the entire world is not being discussed in the US elections: War.\n\nThe contest between Clinton and Trump has brought the degraded state of US politics to new lows. As the two candidates trade in insults and scandal-mongering\, government and military officials are preparing a vast military escalation that threatens the lives of millions\, if not billions of people. \n\nRegardless of who is elected in November\, the working class and youth in the US and around the world face immense dangers. The greatest danger is the gulf that exists between the\nadvanced state of war plans by the US military and the general level of popular consciousness.\n\nEverything must be done to alert workers and young people to what is being planned and to build a political leadership to oppose war and the capitalist system that produces it.\n\nSEP Presidential candidate Jerry White will speak at this meeting\, hosted by the IYSSE at UM. He will speak about the threat of world war\, why it is not seriously discussed in the elections\, and about the urgent need to build a mass anti-war movement in the US. His party is holding a major anti-war conference in Detroit on November 5\, which will also be addressed at this meeting.
