This period saw rapid developments in form and genre, from the explicitly pedagogical, anti-STI documentaries of the immediate post-war years to more sensational productions such as the Der Steinach Film (The Steinach Film, 1922, Germany, dir. Thomalla), which delves into the latest endocrinological and \u201crejuvenation\u201d research, and more narratively driven, melodramatic Aufkl\u00e4rungsfilme centred on themes of STI transmission, abortion, prostitution or homosexuality, such as Falsche Scham (False Shame, Germany, 1925\/26, dir. Biebrach), Anders als die Andern (Different from the Others, 1919, dir Oswald), and Mysterium des Geschlechts (Mystery of sex, 1933, dir. Golte). \r\n\r\nThis talk presents work-in-progress from a co-authored book project with Birgit Lang (University of Melbourne) on photography and film in early German sexual science. It argues that interwar Aufkl\u00e4rungsfilme were crucial in democratizing interwar sexual science, depicting doctors as not simply authoritative experts, but as sympathetic, accessible and even vulnerable mediators of the latest sex research. They show doctor-scientists taking their lectures and life-lessons out of the traditional clinics and laboratories into spaces such as nightclubs, funfairs, and domestic homes, at times ceding some of their authority to newly recognized social actors such as female medical students or gender-diverse subjects. Film, queer and affect theorists emphasize how the embodied experience of cinemagoing can foster unique forms of identification and empathy, from \u201cprosthetic memories\u201d (Landsberg) to \u201cembodied affects\u201d (Rutherford). We examine how these shifts worked to humanize the clinical gaze and gesture towards more emancipatory futures, even as we also consider ways in which these sources remain ethically troubling for historians of gender and sexuality today.\r\n\r\nKatie Sutton is Associate Professor of German and Gender Studies at the Australian National University and a cultural historian of the German-speaking world.

Leadership programs now increasingly incorporate followership theory, practice and development in their curriculum. Our speaker, Ira Chaleff, has been in the forefront of this movement with his classic work, The Courageous Follower: Standing Up To and For Our Leaders. Having spent much of his career in the political sector, he is now applying the lens of followership to understanding one of humanity\u2019s most intractable phenomenon: the rise of tyrannical political leaders on both the political left and right. \r\n\r\nIn his new book, To Stop a Tyrant, rather than focus on the leader, or lament the blight they bring to freedom, Chaleff walks us through a new way of understanding the power of followers to interrupt the toxic trajectory. In a politically polarized climate, he brings a refreshing non-partisan voice that invites us to better understand the dynamics of how we can create political leaders that use appropriate power for the public good.\r\n\r\nThis event is intended for University of Michigan students, staff, faculty, and alumni.\r\n\r\nPre-speaker reception at 4 PM with appetizers.\r\nHosted with support from our campus partners: CEW+, Sanger Leadership Center, and the Ford School Leadership Initiative.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"124369-21852957@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/124369", "building_id":"1000165", "building_name":"Weiser Hall", "campus_maps_id":"47", "room":"10th floor", "location_name":"Weiser Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Politics","Social Impact","Public Policy","Leadership","Free","Civic Engagement","Barger Leadership Institute","Activism"], "website":"https:\/\/myumi.ch\/ZDAXZ", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Barger Leadership Institute", "group_id":"3540", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"CEW+", "group_id":"2927", "website":"http:\/\/cew.umich.edu" }, { "group_name":"Sanger Leadership Center", "group_id":"3890", "website":"http:\/\/sanger.umich.edu" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124369_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124369_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124369_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124369_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124369_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124369_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124369_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124369_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124369_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124369_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124369_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124369_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124369_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124369_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124369_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124369_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21852957 } }
