SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Drama and Performance Interest Group
DESCRIPTION:We hope you will join us for an enriching discussion of Susan Manning's latest book. Snacks will be served.\n\nPlease RSVP for the reading group here:\nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfa9Tz2J6Tq-_BZRlh8_rIDKojsLIX46A7KQjaB7pttelkQQg/viewform\n\nDancing on the Fault Lines of History (University of Michigan Press\, 2025) collects essential essays by Susan Manning\, one of the founders of critical dance studies\, recounting her career writing and rewriting the history of modern dance. Three sets of keywords—gender and sexuality\, whiteness and Blackness\, nationality and globalization—illuminate modern dance histories from multiple angles\, coming together in varied combinations\, shifting positions from foreground to background. Among the many artists discussed are Isadora Duncan\, Vaslav Nijinsky\, Ted Shawn\, Helen Tamiris\, Katherine Dunham\, José Limón\, Pina Bausch\, Reggie Wilson\, and Nelisiwe Xaba. Calling for a comparative and transnational historiography\, Manning ends with an extended case study of Mary Wigman’s multidimensional exchange with artists from Indonesia\, India\, China\, Korea\, and Japan.\n\nSusan Manning (she/her)\, Bergen Evans Professor in the Humanities at Northwestern University\, is jointly appointed in English\, Theatre\, and Performance Studies. Specializing in dance and movement-based performance\, she teaches the history of theatrical modernism and avant-garde performance. She has worked as a curator and dramaturge as well as a scholar\, and her writings have been translated into German\, French\, Italian\, Spanish\, and Polish.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:EIHS Symposium: Orders and the Unruly: A Conversation with our Fellows
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for this exciting opportunity to engage with the research of this year’s Eisenberg and department fellows. For this symposium\, we have asked them to focus on one aspect of their projects that illustrates this year’s Eisenberg theme\, “Orders and the unruly.” Their takes on this theme promise to be illuminating. Casey Stark will investigate the complexities of religious officeholding among the highest orders of ancient Roman society. Matthew Bahar will tell us about unusual Indigenous burial site from sixteenth-century Florida that unnerved early Spanish explorers. Hazal Ozdemir will introduce us to the disobedient photographers who were tasked by the Sultan to track Armenian migrants in the late Ottoman Empire. Allie Goodman will explore how young people negotiated their control\, caretaking\, and institutionalization in early twentieth-century Chicago. Come learn about authority and its subversion across continents and centuries!\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.
