Please join us for the Digital Arts and Humanities Brown Bag Series
Presented by the Institute for Digital Arts and Humanities (IDAH)
Thursday, April 28
12-1 p.m.
IDAH Conference Room E170D
(To the left of the elevators in the East Tower)
"Graduate Students in Digital Arts and Humanities:
A Conversation with IDAH's HASTAC Scholars"
Will Coogan
MA Student, Jacobs School of Music
"Multimedia Collaboration: the Process and the Results"
Will Coogan is currently a master's candidate in Computer Music Composition. Most of his recent works involve collaboration between acoustic and electronic elements, including interactive computer processing for both audio and video. Will's new multimedia opera "Marabel" combines traditional operatic elements with interactive software, animation, video, and choreography. His discussion will focus on the collaborative process working with other artists, as well as on the use of mixed media as a way of engaging with audiences.
Grant Leyton Simpson
PhD Student, Department of English
Masters in Information Science Student, School of Library and Information Science
Senior Systems Analyst/Programmer for the Office of the Registrar
"Digital Humanities Prehistory and Future Pasts"
Is the digital humanities a sort of futurism? What might we find when we extend our gaze backward instead, to DH's prehistory? How did humanists and others involved in research and publishing conceptualize the relationship between computers and the humanities? How has this developed? In this presentation, Grant will pay particular attention to the visual aspects of published DH materials in his investigation of these questions. His dissertation in the department of English, Computing the English Middle Ages, deals with the hermeneutics of electronic objects and processes from roughly 1960 to the present. In it he traces the use of computers in Old and Middle English research from the early days of humanities computing to contemporary digital humanities.

Association for Cultural Studies CFP: Crossroads in Cultural Studies
The Association for Cultural Studies is very pleased to release the Call for Papers for the next Crossroads in Cultural Studies conference, to be held 2-6 July 2012 in Paris, France.
Conference details are below. Submission forms for both papers and sessions can be found on the conference website: http://www.crossroads2012.org
We look forward to seeing many of you in Paris next year!
=====
We are pleased to announce that the 9th International Conference Crossroads in
Cultural Studies will be held in Paris, France, from July 2nd to 6th, 2012, hosted by Sorbonne Nouvelle University and UNESCO.
The city of Paris has a long and complex history as a crossroad between cultures and peoples. Paris has played an important role in the development and circulation of the works of authors and thinkers that have shaped the postcolonial imagination in a significant way. Drawing on their tradition of comprehensive and critical thought, the organizers seek contributions in the form of papers and panels that will continue to examine the intersection between culture, power and knowledge from within the framework of Cultural Studies.
The conference will also be hosted by UNESCO, the international organization that has always championed cultural diversity and difference. Given the long association between Cultural Studies research and UNESCO, this conference should be an occasion for Cultural Studies to look back on its own evolution as well as explore new scholarly insights.
*12 World-class Keynote Speakers from all over the world will address the
conference at keynote and plenary sessions. Among them, Sarah Ahmed, Marie-Hélène
Bourcier, Jeremy Gilbert, Achille Mbembe, Walter Mignolo, Bobby Noble, Phaedra
Pezzullo, Françoise Vergès. With the participation of Stuart Hall and Jacques Rancière (to be confirmed).
*State of the art conference topics. All topics relevant to Cultural Studies, especially new and innovative areas of research are welcome.
*Submit your proposal now! The call for papers and organized panel proposals is now open. Check the submission guidelines and submit before September 30, 2011.
*ACS Assistance Scheme for Crossroads 2012. The Association for Cultural Studies will offer a small number of grants to assist participants from ACS under-represented regions with travel accommodation or registration expenses.
*Attractive and convenient accommodation in the heart of the city of Paris and close to the conference venues. Cheaper campus accommodation will also be available close at hand at the International Paris University Campus.
*Spread the news. Please forward this message to your colleagues and friends! We look forward to seeing you in Paris in 2012!

April 21 IDAH Brown Bag Series: Leslie Sharpe "Following Iola: Data Sets and Re-Imagined Spaces of the Arctic"
IDAH Brown Bag Series presents:
Leslie Sharpe, Associate Professor of Digital Art, School of Fine Arts
"Following Iola: Data Sets and Re-Imagined Spaces of the Arctic"
When:
Thursday, April 21, 2011
12-1 p.m.
Where:
IDAH Conference Room E-170D
(In the Hall to the left of the East Tower Elevators)
Artists have long responded to place within observational and experiential frameworks. What happens when that framework is extended to interpreting place through data related to site? Leslie Sharpe, Associate Professor in the School of Fine Arts, will discuss art that uses digital and non-digital data as content that inspires new works about space and its inhabitants. In her lecture she will present other artists' works as well as her own examples of works related to telemetry, animal migration, and human land use in the Canadian Arctic, and read excerpts from her contribution to the forthcoming book, Far Field: Digital Culture, Climate Change, and the Poles (published by Intellect Press, UK, 2011), where she discusses this understanding of site in relationship to changing ideas and realities of the Canadian North.
Leslie Sharpe is a Canadian Artist and Associate Professor of Digital Art in the School of Fine Arts. Sharpe has been an artist in residence at P.S. 1 Museum/Institute for Contemporary Art in New York, The Banff Centre in Canada, Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, NY, and most recently at Ivvavik National Park in the Canadian Arctic. Her work has been exhibited at the Pompidou Centre (Paris), Banff Centre (Canada), Observatori festival (Spain), Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art (Finland), and in New York at P.S. 1 Insitute of Contemporary Art, Exit Art, The New Museum, Artists Space, and Franklin Furnace. Her writing has been published in Leonardo Electronic Almanac/MIT Press, Framework, New Observations, and in the forthcoming Far Field: Digital Culture, Climate Change and the Poles. Sharpe works primarily in installation and locative/mobile media projects, from works drawing on genre (crime stories to ghost stories), history, and technology. Her recent works draw on human and animal movements through the Canadian Arctic (including her own) within the contexts of technology, environment and human/animal relationships to place.

April 18: The Ninth Annual Victor Danner Memorial Lecture
Please Join Us for the The NELC Department Spring Reception & The Ninth Annual Victor Danner Memorial Lecture
“Servants of the All-Merciful”: Building Communities of Realization in a Global Civilization
Presented by Professor James W. Morris, Boston College
Monday, April 18, 2011
Beginning at 5:30 PM
University Club, IMU
Refreshments Served
It is always easier, in any age, to notice the public and often violent disintegration of a familiar civilization, than the creation and gradual coalescence of newer forms of cultural and spiritual community. Borrowing some perspectives of Ibn ‘Arabi, this Danner lecture examines some of the contemporary uses and transformations of the pathways of realization elaborated in earlier Islamic settings, the traditional disciplines of philosophy,
art, and spiritual practice devoted to exploring the divine Signs “on the horizons and in their souls” (Qur’an 41:53). It concludes by noting some of the opportunities -and obligations- which our global situation has created for creative, constructive cooperation across older religious and civilizational boundaries.

The Seventh East Asian Colloquium of the Spring Semester is Friday, the 22nd of April.
EAST ASIAN COLLOQUIUM (Presented by the East Asian Studies Center)
PRESENTER: Robert Tierney (Departments of East Asian Languages and Cultures and
Comparative and World Literature, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
TOPIC: "Anthropology and Literature in Colonial Taiwan"
DATE: Friday, April 22
TIME: 12:00 p.m. - 1:15 p.m.
LOCATION: Ballantine Hall 004
(Light refreshments will be served. You are also welcome to bring your own lunch.)
While Western scholars introduced the science of anthropology to Japan in the 1870s, Japanese scholars quickly "nationalized" this foreign science and brought it to bear on the aboriginal population of Taiwan, which quickly became the first overseas field in which they could work. As a genre of writing about primitive societies, anthropology offered a model that writers of fiction used to explore the cultures of exotic societies.
In this paper, I will study the concrete interaction between the writer Sato Haruo, who traveled to Taiwan in 1920, and the anthropologist Mori Ushinosuke. In 1923, Sato wrote "Machoo" (Demon Bird), a short work based on a passage in a book by Mori. The narrator of this story impersonates an anthropologist who is studying an episode of persecution in an unnamed barbarian village. At the same time, the story he tells is an allegory about
Japanese persecution of Koreans during the Great Kanto Earthquake. "Demon Bird" is a story that uncovers unexpected links between colony and metropolis. The work is at once a deconstruction of colonial anthropology and an ethnographic critique of the Japanese empire.
Robert Tierney is assistant professor of Japanese literature in the Departments of East Asian Languages and Cultures and Comparative and World Literature at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His recent publications include Tropics of Savagery: The Culture of Japanese Empire in Comparative Frame (University of California Press, 2010). He is currently researching the history of Japanese adaptations of Shakespeare and
Japan's first anti-imperialist movement. He may be contacted at
