SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Carrigan Lecture Series in Music Theory: Benjamin Steege\, Columbia
DESCRIPTION:This talk attends to a rich but largely unexplored aesthetic discourse of the interwar period by highlighting some ideas of two representative participants. When José Ortega y Gasset diagnosed the new literature\, music\, and painting of the post-World War I generation as an art of “dehumanization\,” he celebrated Claude Debussy as a formative example. But what did this slogan actually mean? The question can be answered in part by considering the mode of aesthetic engagement Ortega called “outward concentration” (concentración hacia afuera)\, drawing upon sources in early phenomenology.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CJS Film Series | The Boy and the Beast
DESCRIPTION:Opens Friday\, March 4 at the State. The film will be screened 20 times over the course of a week. Please see the full schedule and trailer here: http://www.michtheater.org/show/the-boy-and-the-beast/\n\nOne of Japan’s biggest theatrical hits of 2015\, this is the latest feature film from award-winning Japanese director Mamoru Hosoda (Summer Wars\, Wolf Children).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Annual Pallas Lecture - Language and Politics in Greece Today: the New Face of an Old Problem
DESCRIPTION:A disconcerting outcome of the last two parliamentary elections in Greece has been the rise of the far-right party Golden Dawn into third position and its entry into parliament. While this mirrors parallel developments in France\, Austria\, Belgium\, the UK\, Hungary and elsewhere\, Golden Dawn is unique among European parties in its rejection of parliamentarianism\, openly embracing violence as a means of realizing its political goals\, and definition of the Greek nation on biological and racial grounds. Analysts have identified a range of endemic causes that underlie its recent electoral success: the economic crisis and record levels of unemployment\; the clientelism of the Greek political system that could not be sustained once the economy collapsed\; the long historical roots of authoritarianism\, patriarchy\, and social conservatism among a segment of the population. In this talk\, I explore some further potential explanations of this phenomenon. Drawing on the findings of the Youth and History project carried out in 27 European countries in the mid-1990’s\, I argue that the discourses of continuity\, Othering\, and Western condescension seen in Greek high-school students’ responses more than a decade before the crisis erupted reflect broader societal discourses also manifested in ideologies about language in Greece during the 19th and 20th centuries. While these discourses were a part of the nation-building process at the time\, the lack of historical awareness and naïve ethnocentrism that accompanied them left Greek society vulnerable and ideologically “ready” to be swayed to political extremes when faced with extreme circumstances (the current economic crisis coupled with the influx of immigrants and refugees).

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Detroiters Speak - Fighting for Water and Homes
DESCRIPTION:In the first of three sessions to focus on current issues Detroit is facing\, Monica Lewis-Patrick (water warrior and President and CEO\, We the People of Detroit)\, Mark Fancher (Director of the Racial Justice Project at the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan) and Marilyn Mullane (Executive Director\, Michigan Legal Services) will address two related crises affecting Detroit residents: mass water-shut offs and mass tax foreclosures. The session will be facilitated by eliza pérez-ollin and Peter Hammer\, of WSU's Detroit Equity Action Laboratory.\n\nThe impacts of these newly heightened practices will be explored\, with a special focus on the mass displacement of long-time African-American residents\, the rapid deterioration of neighborhoods\, and the threat to a stable regional water system that supplies water to a significant percentage of the state’s residents. Proposed solutions will include those that already exist but have not been implemented\, such as the water affordability plan and tax relief policies\, as well as other frameworks that could promote equitable access to water and home ownership for Detroit’s residents.\n\nFree bus transportation from Ann Arbor to Detroit via the MDetroit Connector Bus will be provided for this class. The Bus (Indian Trails) will depart the Central Campus Transit Center at 5:40pm\, and stop directly outside of the Cass Corridor Commons right around 7pm. At the end of the class (no later than 9pm)\, the Bus will depart the Cass Commons Corridor and return to the Central Campus Transit Center by no later than 10pm. \n***Wifi is available on the bus.***
