    Asylum to Chilean Students and Foreign Political Refugees
    (1983-09-18) Cheuse, Alan; Gonzalez, Eduardo
    "Thousands of Chilean and foreign students have been arrested by the military junta which last week overthrew the Allende government. The governments of Argentina, Mexico, and Peru have let it be known to friends of the Chilean democracy that if American sentiment is strong they will open their doors to political refugees from among the student group."

    Beauty of Suffering (Poster) : Representations of Violence Against Women in Spain (17th-21st Century)
    (2015-04-09) Perez Villanueva, Sonia; Isabelle Kaplan Center for Languages and Cultures; East Academic Center
    We will focus on the aesthetics of suffering, particularly on representations of gendered violence in Spain from the seventeenth century to contemporary times. We will analyze narrative forms— theatre, novels and scripts—and visual depictions—paintings and film—of violence, or in other words, we will explore the “beautiful” or grotesque spectacle of female suffering. This research has, of course, a common denominator: the control of women and the violence against them. In spite of the progress of time and the political efforts to protect victims of domestic violence in Spain, fiftythree women were killed by their husbands in 2014. Dr Sonia Pérez-Villanueva is Assistant Professor of Spanish in the Department of Humanities at Lesley University. She is the author of The Life of Catalina de Erauso, The Lieutenant Nun: An Early Modern Autobiography (2014).

    Poster of a program held at the East Academic Center at Bennington College on March 5, 2015. “Wanted: Adventurous teacher to work with 100 amazing students in the most beautiful place in the world.” This was the job advertisement that drew KELLY WARD ’12, to begin teaching English to underserved teenagers from remote nomadic areas in Western China. In her presentation, she will introduce the Tibetan community she lives and works in as a microcosm through which to explore the ever-changing landscape of education in China and the challenges f acing Chinese and Tibetan teens today. Kelly is currently Head Teacher and Curriculum Developer at a small high school intensive English program on the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau. Her book, Fading Memories, Faded Lives: Mongghul Photographs from Qinghai, China, which she co-authored with Limushiden, Jugui, and Dr. Kevin Stuart, was published in December 2014.

    Cinema Reuse and Neighborhood Revitalization in Rome (Poster)
    (2015-05-14) Bowen, Edward; Tombini, Claudia (Photograph)
    Date, time and place of event : May 14, 2015, 7pm, East Academic Center 1. In Rome—Italy’s political and cinematic capital— there are currently 40 abandoned cinemas. City leaders and activists have seen different political, economic, and social potentials in the recovery of these spaces. This talk presents the discourses and practices of the activists who physically occupied the Cinema America from 2012 to 2014 to prevent its demolition and protect its zoning for cultural purposes. Based on findings from a survey and interviews conducted with residents, this talk examines to what extent the protest frames of the occupiers resonated with city residents. Paolo Sorrentino presents Fellini’s La dolce vita at the occupied Cinema America. Photo by Claudia Tombini

    The Demonstration of Ikebana by Yuji Ueno (Poster)
    (2014-10-02)
    Yuji Ueno is an independent floral artist who has developed his own unique philosophy and artistic sensibility—by turns outrageously passionate and exceptionally tranquil. Formerly trained in traditional Japanese floral arrangement, Sogestu Ikebana, Ueno later sought greater freedom to chart his own course and to develop his own flower concept that he calls Hanaike. His aim is to draw out the essence of the natural world and convey the true meaning of beauty in fine ‘flower arrangements’. At Bennington College he will give a demonstration of his floral art, seeking inspiration from the place to forge an artistic piece within the local context.

    Don't Shovel (Poster) : The Use of Farming and Culinary Tools as Resistance in Julie Otsuka's "The Emperor Was Divine"
    (2015-03-26) Izumi, Katsuya; East Academic Center
    Julie Otsuka’s When the Emperor Was Divine (2002) discusses the traumatic experiences of a Japanese American family who, along with more than 110,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans, was sent to internment camps during the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack. With its unusual use of farming and culinary tools, this novel can be read as a resistance statement both in its historical context and in Asian American literary traditions. Dr. Katsuya Izumi’s research focuses on food and identity in Asian American literature. He has taught American literature, English writing, and Japanese.
