A conversation about activism and changeOnline Event 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 George Floyd's murder in May 2020 shined a brutal light on racism and inequality, not only in the U.S. but throughout the world.

And how are activists working to build on this momentum and achieve change?

Thursday, April 15, 2021 The Reception of Shostakovich’s Music
A lecture with Vladimir Orlov (Associate Professor, Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences (Smolny) of St. Petersburg University)Online Event 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 It is well-known that Joseph Stalin, leader of the USSR, left the performance of Shostakovich's opera Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District in great outrage in 1936, which was followed with the first serious attack against Shostakovich. But underneath this, what was the real perception of the communist ideology by the composer? Did he actually stay aloof (like Andrei Volkonsky), comply cynically (like Sergei Prokofiev) or genuinely believe in it (like Alexander Davidenko)? The lecture will discuss Shostakovich's examples of Soviet music, namely his ballets (The Bolt, The Golden Age), operas and other compositions and their up-and-down reception by the Soviet public and officialdom.

Wednesday, March 10, 2021 – Friday, March 12, 2021 We Represent 2021 Virtual International Exchange Conference
Presented by Citizen Diplomacy Action Fund and organized by State Department exchange alumniOnline Event Bard Abroad is excited to invite students to the We Represent 2021 Virtual International Exchange Conference which will include a panel featuring Bard-CEU and BGIA alumna, Getzamany Correa '20! Click here to learn more and register for the We Represent Conference About the We Represent Conference: Study abroad has historically been seen as only available to white upper-middle- and upper-class students; others are the exception and not the norm. We Represent addresses this challenge by focusing on racial and ethnic minority students, low-income students, students with disabilities, members of the LGBTQI+ community, and community college students and providing them with the encouragement of relatable role-models in pursuing exchange programs. During this conference, student attendees and staff members will gain the knowledge that Government-sponsored exchange programs exist, acquire information on exchange programs and accessible application tips, and make a connection between advisors, alumni, and students. After the conference, each institution will have: an enhanced capacity to support applicants; an exchange- interested community including faculty, staff, alumni, and students to serve as a resource for future applicants; and the connections and framework to hold similar informational events in the future. Note: this conference is not run by the U.S. State Department. |

Monday, February 1, 2021 Иосиф Бродский и Анна Ахматова: В глухонемой вселенной / Joseph Brodsky and Anna Akhmatova: Amidst a Deaf-Mute Universe
A book presentation by Denis Akhapkin (Associate Professor, Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences (Smolny) of St. Petersburg University)Online Event 11:00 am – 12:00 pm EST/GMT-5 Join via Zoom Бродский и Ахматова - знаковые имена в истории русской поэзии. В нобелевской лекции Бродский назвал Ахматову одним из «источников света», которым он обязан своей поэтической судьбой. Встречи с Ахматовой и ее стихами связывали Бродского с поэтической традицией «серебряного века». Оба они были не только поэтами, но и чуткими читателями и отголоски их бесед о великих книгах звучат во многих стихах Бродского. Петербургский филолог Денис Ахапкин рассматривает в своей книге эпизоды жизни и творчества двух поэтов, показывая глубинную взаимосвязь между двумя поэтическими системами. Жизненные события причудливо преломляются сквозь призму поэтических строк, становясь фактами уже не просто биографии, а литературной биографии —и некоторые особенности ахматовского поэтического языка хорошо слышны в стихах Бродского. Книга сочетает разговор о судьбах поэтов с разговором о конкретных стихотворениях и их медленным чтением. This event will be presented in Russian. English description: Brodsky and Akhmatova are significant names in the history of Russian poetry. In his Nobel lecture, Brodsky called Akhmatova one of the "sources of light," to whom his poetic fate is indebted. Meetings with Akhmatova and her poems connected Brodsky with the poetic traditions of the "Silver Age." They were both not only poets, but also keen readers. The results of their conversations about great books are present in Brodsky's poems. In his book, Petersburg philologist Denis Akhapkin examines the creative spirit and episodes from the poets' lives, showing the deep relationship between two poetic systems. Life events are bizarrely refracted through the prism of verse, becoming facts of not just a biography, but a literary biography. Some features of Akhmatova's poetic language are present in Brodsky's poetry. The book combines a conversation about the poets' fate with a discussion about specific poems and reading them slowly. |
