CCS Galleries
A Transparent Leaf instead of the Mouth is the first institutional solo exhibition of work by artist Daniel Steegmann Mangrané (b. 1977, Barcelona) in the United States. Based in Rio de Janeiro since 2004, Steegmann Mangrané is considered to be at the forefront of a generation of artists currently emerging from Brazil. A Transparent Leaf instead of the Mouth includes a cross-section of his past work in 16mm film, drawing, holography, and installation, alongside newly commissioned sculptures and installations. The exhibition is organized by Lauren Cornell, director of the graduate program and chief curator.
The museum and galleries are open Thursday – Sunday, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies.

RKC 103
Drawing on arguments from The Parthenon and Liberal Education (SUNY, 2018), a monograph recently coauthored with my Bard College Berlin colleague Geoff Lehman, I will point to the resonance of the work in number theory, astronomy, and harmonics of Philolaus, a near contemporary of Socrates, with central features of the design principles of the Parthenon. In this way, I hope to show that the Parthenon can be seen as a mediator between the early reception of Ancient Near-Eastern mathematical ideas and their integration into Greek thought as a form of liberal education, as the latter came to be defined by Plato and his followers. Prominently in its pursuit of harmonia (harmony; joining together) without resolving tensions between opposites, the Parthenon engages dialectical thought as we encounter it in Plato's dialogues and in ways that are of enduring relevance for the project of liberal education.Sponsored by: Classical Studies Program; Mathematics Program.

Oblong Books
From the author of The Dog, Netherland (PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction and the Kerry Group Irish Fiction Award), Breezes, and This is Life comes a masterly collection of eleven stories about the way we live now. From bourgeois facial-hair trends to parental sleep deprivation, Joseph O’Neill closely observes the mores of his characters, whose vacillations and second thoughts expose the mysterious pettiness, underlying violence, and, sometimes, surprising beauty of ordinary life in the early twenty-first century.
“O’Neill writes with an urgent timeliness, as if these stories were written yesterday, with the politics and news you might have shared with your friends this very morning. The thrill of seeing the here and now transmuted into morally serious and comically rich prose is heightened once you realize its rarity.”
—Ryan Chapman, Guernica

Campus Center, Weis Cinema
Between 2000 and 2007, a far-right terrorist group known as the National Socialist Underground (NSU) murdered 10 people in Germany, nine of them of immigrant backgrounds. The group’s racist and neofascist ideology echoed the belief systems of other right-wing organizations, including the white supremacist Blood and Honour. In 2011, after a failed bank robbery, two members of the NSU committed suicide while the third member, Beate Zschäpe, turned herself in. In the ensuing trial, which ended in July, it became clear that German intelligence agencies had known of and even colluded with the NSU. The failures of the security authorities to stop the group’s crimes highlights the persistence of structural racism in Germany.
Written and performed as documentary theater, The NSU Monologues features the words of three relatives of the NSU’s victims: Elif Kubaşık, Adile Şimşek, and İsmail Yozgat. The stories of Elif, Adile, and İsmail testify to the survivors’ courage and determination. Whether they marched at the head of a funeral procession, organized demonstrations, or demanded that a street be renamed in the victims’ memory, their small acts defied the narrow “official” accounts of German authorities. With their testimonies, they reclaim a space for a historically accountable and antiracist mode of remembrance.
This performance will feature the work of Bard German Studies students, who have translated the original German-language script into English.

Olin, Room 102
We document generational patterns of educational attainment and earnings for contemporary immigrant groups. We also discuss some potentially serious measurement issues that arise when attempting to track the socioeconomic progress of the later-generation descendants of U.S. immigrants, and we summarize what recent research has to say about these measurement issues and how they might bias our assessment of the long-term integration of particular groups. Most national origin groups arrive with relatively high educational attainment and/or experience enough improvement between the first and second generations such that they quickly meet or exceed, on average, the schooling level of the typical American. Several large and important Hispanic groups (including Mexicans and Puerto Ricans) are exceptions to this pattern, however, and their prospects for future upward mobility are subject to much debate. Because of measurement issues and data limitations, Mexican Americans in particular and Hispanic Americans in general probably have experienced significantly more socioeconomic progress beyond the second generation than available data indicate. Even so, it may take longer for their descendants to integrate fully into the American mainstream than it did for the descendants of the European immigrants who arrived near the turn of the twentieth century.Sponsored by: American Studies Program; Economics Program; Historical Studies Program; LAIS Program; Levy Economics Institute; Sociology Program.

Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium
The maintenance of salt and water balance is a critical requirement for life. The integrity of cells, tissues, and the macromolecules that carry on the business of life requires the maintenance of a narrow range of physical and chemical conditions. In turn, identifying how organisms regulate the movements of ions and water at the subcellular, cellular, and organismal levels represents an important and fundamental line of biological inquiry. Aquatic organisms, such as the one I will describe today, experience a formidable challenge in maintaining homeostasis in the presence of a strong, and sometimes fluctuating, osmotic gradient with the external environment. Accordingly, these organisms have evolved efficient mechanisms for detecting changes in osmotic conditions, which will in turn direct appropriate physiological responses.Sponsored by: Biology Program.

Citizenship and Civil Disobedience
A Conference Sponsored by
The Hannah Arendt Center at Bard College
Thursday and Friday, Oct. 11-12, 2018
Civil disobedience succeeds when it expresses new ideas that inspire the majority. Arendt criticized the student revolutionaries of the 1960s because they lacked new ideas that could transform the revolutionary situation into a political revolution. Without ideas, the violence of so-called revolutionaries is nothing more than protest. The creation of a new meaningful politics is the challenge of movements like Black Lives Matter, the Resistance, and the Tea Party. To become revolutionary political movements, these associations must imagine a more legitimate and just world.
The Arendtian tradition of citizenship and civil disobedience involves not individual acts of conscience, but political movements that mobilize organized minorities. Civil disobedience is an act of citizenship by which minorities can change the minds of majorities. Thus, disobedient minorities—those groups who collectively dissent from majority opinion—are not traitors or rebels, but are part of the fabric of democratic government.
Civil disobedience can be uncivil. But Arendt knew that being an active citizen is dangerous. She famously wrote, “Whoever entered the political realm had first to be ready to risk his life, and too great a love for life obstructed freedom, was a sure sign of slavishness. Courage therefore became the political virtue par excellence.” As dangerous as political action is, it is also the lifeblood of democratic political change.
The outbreak of civil disobedience today manifests the fraying of a consensus around questions of economic and racial equality as well as social discrimination, immigration, and the uses of American power abroad.

Citizenship and Civil Disobedience
A Conference Sponsored by
The Hannah Arendt Center at Bard College
Thursday and Friday, Oct. 11-12, 2018
Civil disobedience succeeds when it expresses new ideas that inspire the majority. Arendt criticized the student revolutionaries of the 1960s because they lacked new ideas that could transform the revolutionary situation into a political revolution. Without ideas, the violence of so-called revolutionaries is nothing more than protest. The creation of a new meaningful politics is the challenge of movements like Black Lives Matter, the Resistance, and the Tea Party. To become revolutionary political movements, these associations must imagine a more legitimate and just world.
The Arendtian tradition of citizenship and civil disobedience involves not individual acts of conscience, but political movements that mobilize organized minorities. Civil disobedience is an act of citizenship by which minorities can change the minds of majorities. Thus, disobedient minorities—those groups who collectively dissent from majority opinion—are not traitors or rebels, but are part of the fabric of democratic government.
Civil disobedience can be uncivil. But Arendt knew that being an active citizen is dangerous. She famously wrote, “Whoever entered the political realm had first to be ready to risk his life, and too great a love for life obstructed freedom, was a sure sign of slavishness. Courage therefore became the political virtue par excellence.” As dangerous as political action is, it is also the lifeblood of democratic political change.
The outbreak of civil disobedience today manifests the fraying of a consensus around questions of economic and racial equality as well as social discrimination, immigration, and the uses of American power abroad. So many various minorities are dissenting from the established way of doing things that we ask whether there is still something that holds our diverse and divergent nation together. In raising the questions of citizenship and civil disobedience, we ask if and how a new democratic American ideal can emerge.

Fisher Center, LUMA Theater
The New Yorker describes Schneider’s work as “jagged and miraculous”; “revelatory theater” writes the The Village Voice. Read The New York Times profile of Andrew Schneider here.
What connections are we missing in an always-on world? Interactive media artist Andrew Schneider and recurring collaborators create a performance cartography of the all-too-fleeting revelations, narratives, and emotional interactions flooding our bodies and brains every second of every day. Audiences peer down like birds above the city to discover a living map where a multiplicity of narratives come into view: a biker, oblivious of the car that will hit her six blocks away; a couple kissing goodbye, then going on to lead different lives; flight patterns; Facebook usage; and countless other trajectories, patterns, possibilities, and futures. A breathtaking intersection of visceral physicality and visually stunning technology, NERVOUS/SYSTEM decodes the stories we miss each time we blink.
For NERVOUS/SYSTEM–the third show in the trilogy following YOUARENOWHERE and AFTER–Schneider is joined by collaborators Lindsay Head, Antonio Irizarry ’16, Kedian Keohan ’16, Peter Musante, Alicia ayo Ohs, Ashley Marie Ortiz, Jamie Roach and T.L Thompson.

A Short Introduction to the Science, Technology, and Society (STS) Concentration

Campus Center, Weis Cinema
Why are we apparently unable to respond effectively to climate catastrophe?
The report last week from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) details how a catastrophic form of climate change is imminent unless dramatic action is taken now. Yet even aside from the question of political will, the global response to climate change appears woefully limited. Why is this problem apparently so intractable and how can we nonetheless move toward an adequate response?
By looking at institutions, sociotechnical systems, and the wider context of science, the field of Science, Technology, and Society has developed tools that are useful in addressing this issue. Please join us on Monday, October 15, for a brief presentation on some of these approaches and an introduction to the field, cosponsored by the Bard Center for Environmental Policy.
On Friday, October 19, in conjunction with the Bard Office of Sustainability and EUS, we will also be presenting one promising approach to the problem via a live feed of the Omega Institute’s Project Drawdown workshop, a project “modeling the 100 most effective ways to draw down greenhouse gas emissions” (Preston Theater, 7:30 pm).

In Peru, garments bring together bodies, fabrics, and symbols in a textured weave that has everything to do with power and the power of representation. The expansion of “ethical fashion” - akin to fair trade commodities - has opened a space of dialogue across an intractable racial divide. In this talk, Patricia will trace how fashion designers attempt to create a new post-conflict, inclusive, indigenous-oriented, multicultural “look” for Peru. At stake in her analysis are the ethical claims of design practices in ethical capitalist fashion supply chains.
Patricia's film Entretejido will also be presented. Entretejido weaves together the different sites and communities involved in the making of alpaca wool fashions, from animal to runway. The film is a sensorial immersion into the textures that compose this supply chain, bringing viewers into contact with the ways objects we wear are entangled in national racial politics.Sponsored by: Anthropology Program; Experimental Humanities Program; LAIS Program.

Hasidism began as a radical mystical movement whose rapid growth has puzzled scholars until this day. Recent research has used new tools including GIS to explore questions about the origins, spread, and post-Holocaust resurgence of this most important socioreligious movement in modern Judaism. Is it true that Hasidism dominated most of East European Jewry by the end of the 18th century? What were the borders of Hasidic influence and how did they change? Which Hasidic dynasties were strongest and why? How did Hasidism resurrect in the post-Holocaust world and how strong is it today?
Marcin Wodziński is professor of Jewish history and literature at the University of Wrocław, Poland. His books include Hebrew Inscriptions in Silesia, 13th–18th Century (1996), Haskalah and Hasidism in the Kingdom of Poland (2005), and Hasidism and Politics: The Kingdom of Poland, 1815–1864 (2013). He is the author of three new works on Hasidism: Hasidism: A New History (contributor; 2018), Historical Atlas of Hasidism (2018), and Hasidism: Key Questions (2018).Sponsored by: Experimental Humanities Program; Jewish Studies Program; Religion Program; Russian/Eurasian Studies Program.

This program presents an offering of dances and poetic moments with two single-movement sonatas at its core. The work by Steven Stucky holds a special place for me as a powerful and wide-ranging late work by my dearly departed friend. From the yodels and open air of Schubert’s Austrian Alps to the tortured sensuality of the Scriabin Sonata, this music whispers, sings, and shouts. Outlining and riding this emotional trajectory allows us to share these composers’ most private moments, and their most ecstatic, too. In the end, we are comforted by the quiet of Schumann’s duet, walking hand in hand into a peaceful place. —Xak BjerkenSponsored by: Bard College Conservatory of Music.

Captivity narratives are built around the drama of the individual's temporary incapacity: the captive is variously unable to move, speak, or behave in the ways he or she would choose. In early American captivity narratives, this restriction is often contrasted with a vision of God as totally, unchangeably able and unrestrained. In addition, captivity narratives often narrate the event and the effects of disabling violence. This talk will discuss the ways in which the religious content of early American captivity narratives informs these depictions of able and impaired bodies. In so doing, it will consider how contemporary disability studies might (or might not) help us to reconsider the genre of the captivity narrative.Sponsored by: American Studies Program; Literature Program.

CCS Bard, Classroom 102
Through the Speaker Series, CCS Bard brings distinguished artists, scholars, and curators to campus to present on their work. Speaker Series talks are held in classroom 102 at CCS Bard. All talks are free and open to the public.
Nana Adusei-Poku, PhD, is an independent scholar, writer and curator as well as Guest Lecturer in Media Arts and Master Fine Arts at the University of the Arts, Zurich. She was Research Professor for Cultural Diversity (2013–14) and for Visual Cultures (2015–17) at the Hogeschool Rotterdam with affiliation to the Piet Zwart Institute and the Willem de Kooning Academy. Adusei-Poku received her Ph.D. from Humboldt University in Berlin for her thesis on postblack art as part of the graduate program on Gender as a Category of Knowledge, following degrees in African Studies and Gender Studies at Humboldt University, and in Media and Communications at Goldsmiths College, University of London. She has been a Visiting Scholar at the University of Ghana, Legon; the London School of Economics; and Columbia University, New York.
Adusei-Poku is immersed in the void, the abyss, and sunken places and how those articulate themselves in texts, bodies, images, and relations. The question "What are the conditions of our existence?," which Stuart Hall asked, remain core to her journey and inspire her to embody and develop a decolonized pedagogical approach and to explore the performativity of nothingness and life "in the hold." Since 2015 she is co-founder of N+.
Adusei-Poku has published several articles, including “Post-Post-Black?” in Nka-Journal for Contemporary African Art and “Catch Me If You Can!,” which is a critical reflection on the state of diversity and decolonization in the arts and art education. In her most recent publication “On Being Present Where You Wish to Disappear,” she questions the notion of nothingness, universality, and whiteness common in the contemporary art world.

Sam Van Aken works beyond traditional modes of art making, crossing artistic genres and disciplines to develop new perspectives on such themes as communication, botany, agriculture, climatology, and the ever-increasing impact of technology. Employing “anti-structures and unknowing as generative processes,” Van Aken’s interventions in the natural and public realm are seen as metaphors that serve as the basis of narrative, sites of place making, and in some cases even become the basis of scientific research.
Van Aken received his undergraduate education in art and communication theory and his MFA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is an associate professor in the School of Art at Syracuse University.

Olin, Room 102
Pioneering autofiction with his WWII novels Kaputt (1944) and The Skin (1949), Italian writer Curzio Malaparte is one of most controversial authors of the 20th Century. Malaparte was a protagonist of interwar Europe, from his tumultuous relations with Mussolini and the fascist regime to the cosmopolitan dalliances with French and Russian intelligentsia. He narrated these experiences in the two memoirs The Kremlin Ball and Diary of a Stranger in Paris, for the first time translated into English respectively by Jenny McPhee and Stephen Twilley and now published by NYRB Classics. The two translators will discuss their experience with Malaparte's texts and their relationship with this fascinating yet problematic author.

Music is an incredible tool for the study of human cognition. This lecture will review work from the Skidmore Music and Cognition Lab guided by three lines of inquiry. First, how does the cognitive system make predictions, and how might different musical contexts shape predictions during listening? Second, how might music serve as a model to investigate the neural substrates of consciousness? Third, how do people differ in their musical processing, and how might the study of these individual differences help us understand neurocognitive function more generally? I will discuss research that employs multiple methods, including behavioral measurement, event-related potentials, and brain imaging, in order to make direct connections between the study of musical processing and more abstract questions about human nature.Sponsored by: Psychology Program.

(NOTE: Attendees must register for tickets: carnegiecouncil.org/calendar/data/2018-10-18-reckless-henry-kissinger-and-the-tragedy-of-vietnam *Discount code attached in listserv invite heading).
The Vietnam War cost America and Vietnam thousands of lives and billions of dollars, and it was the direct result of the supposed master plan of the most important voice in American foreign policy: Henry Kissinger.
Using newly available archival material from the Nixon Presidential Library, Kissinger's personal papers, and material from the archives in Vietnam, Robert K. Brigham punctures the myth of Kissinger as an infallible mastermind. Instead, he constructs a portrait of a rash, opportunistic, and suggestible politician. It was personal political rivalries, the domestic political climate, and strategic confusion that drove Kissinger's actions. There was no great master plan or Bismarckian theory that supported how the United States continued the war or conducted peace negotiations. Its length was doubled for nothing but the ego and poor judgment of a single figure.
Robert K. Brigham is the Shirley Ecker Boskey Professor of History and International Relations at Vassar College.
Colonel Suzanne Nielsen is a professor of political sciences and the Head of the Department of Social Sciences at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York.

Olin, Room 102
The 1950s are not only the golden age of the classic European photonovel (a kind of romance comics with photographs), they also saw the emergence of a short-lived subgenre, the film photonovel, which “transmedializes” real movies in photonovel format. This astonishing mix used to be extremely popular in the late 1950s, before rapidly disappearing in the 1960s. In this lecture, Jan Baetens will sketch the commercial and editorial logic of this fascinating “cultural form” and address a specific example, the adaptation of Louis Malle’s Ascenseur pour l’échafaud.
Jan Baetens is professor of literary theory and cultural studies at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium). He is the author of the forthcoming The Film Photonovel: A Cultural History of Forgotten Adaptations (Texas University Press, 2019) and, most recently, of Novelization: From Film to Novel (Ohio State University Press, 2018), À voix haute (Les Impressions Nouvelles, 2016), The Graphic Novel (Cambridge University Press, 2014, with H. Frey), and Pour en finir avec la poésie dite minimaliste (Les Impressions Nouvelles, 2014). Baetens coedited the Cambridge History of the Graphic Novel (2018). He is also a prolific poet (Cent fois sur le métier, 2004; Vivre sa vie, 2005; Autres nuages, 2012, Ce monde, 2015; La lecture, 2017—among many other titles) and a novelist (Faire sécession, 2017).Sponsored by: French Studies Program; Literature Program.

This talk compares Euripides’s Ion (ca. 413 BCE) with Fredrick Ashton’s ballet Cinderella (1948), arguing that in both productions, dance serves to foreshadow the titular character’s transformation from rags to royalty. I will further demonstrate that Euripides’s play, in sharp contrast to Ashton’s playful ballet, exploits the ambivalent status of solo dance in the ancient Greek cultural imagination to underscore the tragedy of Ion’s transformation, using the language and imagery of movement to unsettle our assumptions about both Ion and his mother, Creusa.Sponsored by: Classical Studies Program; Dance Program; Gender and Sexuality Studies Program.

Ann Lauterbach is one of America’s most inventive poets, acclaimed for her fierce, sensuous, and intellectually charged work. In her tenth collection, Spell, Lauterbach activates the many meanings of “spell”: her sense that the world is under a spell from which it must awaken, to spells of passing weather, to her desire to spell out life’s difficulties and wonders, and how single words (and their etymologies) might inform and enlighten our contemporary condition. In short poems, poem sequences, and a series of “Conversations with Evening,” Lauterbach calls upon all her imaginative resources to locate a new hybrid poetics of reality, with wit, urgency, and candor.
“As a poet, Lauterbach is nothing if not versatile in content and form. . . . Her register is resolutely multivalent. . . . She challenges and enchants.” —The Rumpus

Languages differ in how they package the components of an event into words to form sentences. For example, while some languages (like English) typically encode the manner of motion in the verb (e.g., crab-walking), others (like Spanish) more often use verbs that encode the path (e.g., entering). These tendencies lead to biases in learning: children and adults assume that novel motion verbs will reflect the dominant pattern of their own language (manner for English, path for Spanish). Moreover, these biases are flexible: when taught a series of novel motion verbs that all encode path, English speakers will shift to expecting that subsequent verbs will encode path instead of manner. In this talk, I’ll address some limitations of this work (in English) and extend it to new languages: Chinese, Portuguese, and Spanish. I'll conclude by discussing the implications of these results for the architecture of language in the mind.

Early-type galaxies (elliptical and lenticular galaxies) are high-entropy stellar systems, all galaxies will eventually tend toward such states (perhaps sped up by interactions with other galaxies). Many early-type galaxies are also high-entropy gaseous systems, essentially with hot gas atmospheres maintained by energy input from their central super-massive black hole, not entirely differently than how central nuclear reactions support stars. However, some early-type galaxies still contain low-entropy, cold gas. In these cases, the galaxies are not quite in an ``end state”. I will discuss possible evolutionary pathways and physical processes that explain how some early-type galaxies still have cold gas reservoirs.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

The Pythagorean Harmonics of the Parthenon
Michael Weinman, Professor of Philosophy, Bard College Berlin
Monday, October 1, 2018
5–6 pm
RKC 103Drawing on arguments from The Parthenon and Liberal Education (SUNY, 2018), a monograph recently coauthored with my Bard College Berlin colleague Geoff Lehman, I will point to the resonance of the work in number theory, astronomy, and harmonics of Philolaus, a near contemporary of Socrates, with central features of the design principles of the Parthenon. In this way, I hope to show that the Parthenon can be seen as a mediator between the early reception of Ancient Near-Eastern mathematical ideas and their integration into Greek thought as a form of liberal education, as the latter came to be defined by Plato and his followers. Prominently in its pursuit of harmonia (harmony; joining together) without resolving tensions between opposites, the Parthenon engages dialectical thought as we encounter it in Plato's dialogues and in ways that are of enduring relevance for the project of liberal education.Sponsored by: Classical Studies Program; Mathematics Program.

A Reading by Joseph O'Neill
The author reads from his new story collection, Good Trouble.
Monday, October 1, 2018
6–8 pm
Oblong BooksFrom the author of The Dog, Netherland (PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction and the Kerry Group Irish Fiction Award), Breezes, and This is Life comes a masterly collection of eleven stories about the way we live now. From bourgeois facial-hair trends to parental sleep deprivation, Joseph O’Neill closely observes the mores of his characters, whose vacillations and second thoughts expose the mysterious pettiness, underlying violence, and, sometimes, surprising beauty of ordinary life in the early twenty-first century.
“O’Neill writes with an urgent timeliness, as if these stories were written yesterday, with the politics and news you might have shared with your friends this very morning. The thrill of seeing the here and now transmuted into morally serious and comically rich prose is heightened once you realize its rarity.”

The NSU Monologues
Actors for Human Rights Germany
Monday, October 1, 2018
7–9 pm
Campus Center, Weis CinemaBetween 2000 and 2007, a far-right terrorist group known as the National Socialist Underground (NSU) murdered 10 people in Germany, nine of them of immigrant backgrounds. The group’s racist and neofascist ideology echoed the belief systems of other right-wing organizations, including the white supremacist Blood and Honour. In 2011, after a failed bank robbery, two members of the NSU committed suicide while the third member, Beate Zschäpe, turned herself in. In the ensuing trial, which ended in July, it became clear that German intelligence agencies had known of and even colluded with the NSU. The failures of the security authorities to stop the group’s crimes highlights the persistence of structural racism in Germany.
Written and performed as documentary theater, The NSU Monologues features the words of three relatives of the NSU’s victims: Elif Kubaşık, Adile Şimşek, and İsmail Yozgat. The stories of Elif, Adile, and İsmail testify to the survivors’ courage and determination. Whether they marched at the head of a funeral procession, organized demonstrations, or demanded that a street be renamed in the victims’ memory, their small acts defied the narrow “official” accounts of German authorities. With their testimonies, they reclaim a space for a historically accountable and antiracist mode of remembrance.
This performance will feature the work of Bard German Studies students, who have translated the original German-language script into English.

Socioeconomic Integration of U.S. Immigrant Groups over the Long Term: The Second Generation and Beyond.
Stephen J. Trejo, Department of Economics, University of Texas at Austin
Tuesday, October 2, 2018
4:45–6 pm
Olin, Room 102We document generational patterns of educational attainment and earnings for contemporary immigrant groups. We also discuss some potentially serious measurement issues that arise when attempting to track the socioeconomic progress of the later-generation descendants of U.S. immigrants, and we summarize what recent research has to say about these measurement issues and how they might bias our assessment of the long-term integration of particular groups. Most national origin groups arrive with relatively high educational attainment and/or experience enough improvement between the first and second generations such that they quickly meet or exceed, on average, the schooling level of the typical American. Several large and important Hispanic groups (including Mexicans and Puerto Ricans) are exceptions to this pattern, however, and their prospects for future upward mobility are subject to much debate. Because of measurement issues and data limitations, Mexican Americans in particular and Hispanic Americans in general probably have experienced significantly more socioeconomic progress beyond the second generation than available data indicate. Even so, it may take longer for their descendants to integrate fully into the American mainstream than it did for the descendants of the European immigrants who arrived near the turn of the twentieth century.Sponsored by: American Studies Program; Economics Program; Historical Studies Program; LAIS Program; Levy Economics Institute; Sociology Program.

Salt and Water Balance in Fishes: Endocrine Mechanisms of Environmental Adaptation
Jason Breves, Skidmore College
Thursday, October 4, 2018
12–1 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 AuditoriumThe maintenance of salt and water balance is a critical requirement for life. The integrity of cells, tissues, and the macromolecules that carry on the business of life requires the maintenance of a narrow range of physical and chemical conditions. In turn, identifying how organisms regulate the movements of ions and water at the subcellular, cellular, and organismal levels represents an important and fundamental line of biological inquiry. Aquatic organisms, such as the one I will describe today, experience a formidable challenge in maintaining homeostasis in the presence of a strong, and sometimes fluctuating, osmotic gradient with the external environment. Accordingly, these organisms have evolved efficient mechanisms for detecting changes in osmotic conditions, which will in turn direct appropriate physiological responses.Sponsored by: Biology Program.

Citizenship and Civil Disobedience
Thursday, October 11, 2018 – Friday, October 12, 2018
10 am – 6 pm
Olin Humanities BuildingCitizenship and Civil Disobedience
A Conference Sponsored by
The Hannah Arendt Center at Bard College
Thursday and Friday, Oct. 11-12, 2018
From antifa, Occupy, #metoo, Black Lives Matters, and sanctuary cities, to the Tea Party, Patriots, #fakenews, and fundamentalist bakers in Colorado, the tradition of American civil disobedience is being reinvigorated as form of mass political citizenship. The rise in civil disobedience is a sign of a revolutionary situation. But revolutionary situations rarely lead to revolution. More often they lead to counter revolution or to nothing at all."'As soon as several inhabitants of the United States have taken up an opinion or a feeling which they wish to promote in the world,' or have found some fault they wish to correct, 'they look out for mutual assistance, and as soon as they have found one another out, they combine. From that moment, they are no longer isolated men but a power seen from afar, whose actions serve for an example and whose language is listened to.' It is my contention that civil disobedients are nothing but the latest form of voluntary association, and that they are thus quite in tune with the oldest traditions of the country." - Hannah Arendt, On Civil Disobedience (citing Alexis de Tocqueville)
Civil disobedience succeeds when it expresses new ideas that inspire the majority. Arendt criticized the student revolutionaries of the 1960s because they lacked new ideas that could transform the revolutionary situation into a political revolution. Without ideas, the violence of so-called revolutionaries is nothing more than protest. The creation of a new meaningful politics is the challenge of movements like Black Lives Matter, the Resistance, and the Tea Party. To become revolutionary political movements, these associations must imagine a more legitimate and just world.
The Arendtian tradition of citizenship and civil disobedience involves not individual acts of conscience, but political movements that mobilize organized minorities. Civil disobedience is an act of citizenship by which minorities can change the minds of majorities. Thus, disobedient minorities—those groups who collectively dissent from majority opinion—are not traitors or rebels, but are part of the fabric of democratic government.
Civil disobedience can be uncivil. But Arendt knew that being an active citizen is dangerous. She famously wrote, “Whoever entered the political realm had first to be ready to risk his life, and too great a love for life obstructed freedom, was a sure sign of slavishness. Courage therefore became the political virtue par excellence.” As dangerous as political action is, it is also the lifeblood of democratic political change.
The outbreak of civil disobedience today manifests the fraying of a consensus around questions of economic and racial equality as well as social discrimination, immigration, and the uses of American power abroad. So many various minorities are dissenting from the established way of doing things that we ask whether there is still something that holds our diverse and divergent nation together. In raising the questions of citizenship and civil disobedience, we ask if and how a new democratic American ideal can emerge.
This inquiry into the power of political dissent to unify a plurality animates the Hannah Arendt Center’s 11th Annual Conference, “Citizenship and Civil Disobedience.” Our conference will consider the following questions:
- Is civil disobedience an exemplary act of citizenship?
- Why is citizen activism emerging across all parts of the political spectrum?
- Can civil disobedience help reunite majority opinion around common truths?
- Is civil disobedience usable by dissidents on both the left and the right?
- Are we today in a revolutionary situation?
- Should violence be used in civil disobedience?
- Does democracy require civility?

Andrew Schneider
NERVOUS/SYSTEM
Preview performances
Live Arts Bard commission
Friday, October 12, 2018
7:30 pm
Fisher Center, LUMA TheaterThe New Yorker describes Schneider’s work as “jagged and miraculous”; “revelatory theater” writes the The Village Voice. Read The New York Times profile of Andrew Schneider here.
What connections are we missing in an always-on world? Interactive media artist Andrew Schneider and recurring collaborators create a performance cartography of the all-too-fleeting revelations, narratives, and emotional interactions flooding our bodies and brains every second of every day. Audiences peer down like birds above the city to discover a living map where a multiplicity of narratives come into view: a biker, oblivious of the car that will hit her six blocks away; a couple kissing goodbye, then going on to lead different lives; flight patterns; Facebook usage; and countless other trajectories, patterns, possibilities, and futures. A breathtaking intersection of visceral physicality and visually stunning technology, NERVOUS/SYSTEM decodes the stories we miss each time we blink.
For NERVOUS/SYSTEM–the third show in the trilogy following YOUARENOWHERE and AFTER–Schneider is joined by collaborators Lindsay Head, Antonio Irizarry ’16, Kedian Keohan ’16, Peter Musante, Alicia ayo Ohs, Ashley Marie Ortiz, Jamie Roach and T.L Thompson.
NERVOUS/SYSTEM was commissioned and developed in part by Live Arts Bard at the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College and BAM for the 2018 Next Wave Festival.
NERVOUS/SYSTEM received significant development support from LUMBERYARD’s residency program, MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology, and the Harbourfront Centre Performing Arts Residency Program. NERVOUS/SYSTEM was made possible with funding by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Theater Project, with lead funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and additional support from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. Sponsored by: Live Arts Bard.

What connections are we missing in an always-on world? Interactive media artist Andrew Schneider and recurring collaborators create a performance cartography of the all-too-fleeting revelations, narratives, and emotional interactions flooding our bodies and brains every second of every day. Audiences peer down like birds above the city to discover a living map where a multiplicity of narratives come into view: a biker, oblivious of the car that will hit her six blocks away; a couple kissing goodbye, then going on to lead different lives; flight patterns; Facebook usage; and countless other trajectories, patterns, possibilities, and futures. A breathtaking intersection of visceral physicality and visually stunning technology, NERVOUS/SYSTEM decodes the stories we miss each time we blink.
For NERVOUS/SYSTEM–the third show in the trilogy following YOUARENOWHERE and AFTER–Schneider is joined by collaborators Lindsay Head, Antonio Irizarry ’16, Kedian Keohan ’16, Peter Musante, Alicia ayo Ohs, Ashley Marie Ortiz, Jamie Roach and T.L Thompson.

STS and Climate Catastrophe
A Short Introduction to the Science, Technology, and Society (STS) Concentration
Monday, October 15, 2018
4–5:30 pm
Campus Center, Weis CinemaWhy are we apparently unable to respond effectively to climate catastrophe?
The report last week from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) details how a catastrophic form of climate change is imminent unless dramatic action is taken now. Yet even aside from the question of political will, the global response to climate change appears woefully limited. Why is this problem apparently so intractable and how can we nonetheless move toward an adequate response?
By looking at institutions, sociotechnical systems, and the wider context of science, the field of Science, Technology, and Society has developed tools that are useful in addressing this issue. Please join us on Monday, October 15, for a brief presentation on some of these approaches and an introduction to the field, cosponsored by the Bard Center for Environmental Policy.
On Friday, October 19, in conjunction with the Bard Office of Sustainability and EUS, we will also be presenting one promising approach to the problem via a live feed of the Omega Institute’s Project Drawdown workshop, a project “modeling the 100 most effective ways to draw down greenhouse gas emissions” (Preston Theater, 7:30 pm).
Cider and dessert will be served! Sponsored by: Science, Technology, and Society Concentration.

Designing Ethics: Racial Imaginaries and the Interweaving of Power in Peruvian Ethical Fashion Design
Patricia Alvarez, Brandeis University
Monday, October 15, 2018
4:45–6:45 pm
Olin, Room 102In Peru, garments bring together bodies, fabrics, and symbols in a textured weave that has everything to do with power and the power of representation. The expansion of “ethical fashion” - akin to fair trade commodities - has opened a space of dialogue across an intractable racial divide. In this talk, Patricia will trace how fashion designers attempt to create a new post-conflict, inclusive, indigenous-oriented, multicultural “look” for Peru. At stake in her analysis are the ethical claims of design practices in ethical capitalist fashion supply chains.
Patricia's film Entretejido will also be presented. Entretejido weaves together the different sites and communities involved in the making of alpaca wool fashions, from animal to runway. The film is a sensorial immersion into the textures that compose this supply chain, bringing viewers into contact with the ways objects we wear are entangled in national racial politics.Sponsored by: Anthropology Program; Experimental Humanities Program; LAIS Program.

Space and Spirit: Mapping the Geography of Hasidism
Marcin Wodziński, University of Wrocław, Poland
Monday, October 15, 2018
5:30–7 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 AuditoriumHasidism began as a radical mystical movement whose rapid growth has puzzled scholars until this day. Recent research has used new tools including GIS to explore questions about the origins, spread, and post-Holocaust resurgence of this most important socioreligious movement in modern Judaism. Is it true that Hasidism dominated most of East European Jewry by the end of the 18th century? What were the borders of Hasidic influence and how did they change? Which Hasidic dynasties were strongest and why? How did Hasidism resurrect in the post-Holocaust world and how strong is it today?
Marcin Wodziński is professor of Jewish history and literature at the University of Wrocław, Poland. His books include Hebrew Inscriptions in Silesia, 13th–18th Century (1996), Haskalah and Hasidism in the Kingdom of Poland (2005), and Hasidism and Politics: The Kingdom of Poland, 1815–1864 (2013). He is the author of three new works on Hasidism: Hasidism: A New History (contributor; 2018), Historical Atlas of Hasidism (2018), and Hasidism: Key Questions (2018).Sponsored by: Experimental Humanities Program; Jewish Studies Program; Religion Program; Russian/Eurasian Studies Program.

Pianist Xak Bjerken with Miri Yampolsky: Rachmaninoff, Schubert, Schumann, Scriabin, and Steven Stucky
Monday, October 15, 2018
7:30–8:30 pm
László Z. Bitó '60 Conservatory BuildingThis program presents an offering of dances and poetic moments with two single-movement sonatas at its core. The work by Steven Stucky holds a special place for me as a powerful and wide-ranging late work by my dearly departed friend. From the yodels and open air of Schubert’s Austrian Alps to the tortured sensuality of the Scriabin Sonata, this music whispers, sings, and shouts. Outlining and riding this emotional trajectory allows us to share these composers’ most private moments, and their most ecstatic, too. In the end, we are comforted by the quiet of Schumann’s duet, walking hand in hand into a peaceful place. —Xak BjerkenSponsored by: Bard College Conservatory of Music.

"Stand Still and See": Linking Ability and Captivity in Early America
Professor Nicholas Junkerman, Skidmore College
Tuesday, October 16, 2018
12–1 pm
RKC 103Captivity narratives are built around the drama of the individual's temporary incapacity: the captive is variously unable to move, speak, or behave in the ways he or she would choose. In early American captivity narratives, this restriction is often contrasted with a vision of God as totally, unchangeably able and unrestrained. In addition, captivity narratives often narrate the event and the effects of disabling violence. This talk will discuss the ways in which the religious content of early American captivity narratives informs these depictions of able and impaired bodies. In so doing, it will consider how contemporary disability studies might (or might not) help us to reconsider the genre of the captivity narrative.Sponsored by: American Studies Program; Literature Program.

CCS Bard Speaker Series: Nana Adusei-Poku
Tuesday, October 16, 2018
5–7 pm
CCS Bard, Classroom 102Through the Speaker Series, CCS Bard brings distinguished artists, scholars, and curators to campus to present on their work. Speaker Series talks are held in classroom 102 at CCS Bard. All talks are free and open to the public.
Nana Adusei-Poku, PhD, is an independent scholar, writer and curator as well as Guest Lecturer in Media Arts and Master Fine Arts at the University of the Arts, Zurich. She was Research Professor for Cultural Diversity (2013–14) and for Visual Cultures (2015–17) at the Hogeschool Rotterdam with affiliation to the Piet Zwart Institute and the Willem de Kooning Academy. Adusei-Poku received her Ph.D. from Humboldt University in Berlin for her thesis on postblack art as part of the graduate program on Gender as a Category of Knowledge, following degrees in African Studies and Gender Studies at Humboldt University, and in Media and Communications at Goldsmiths College, University of London. She has been a Visiting Scholar at the University of Ghana, Legon; the London School of Economics; and Columbia University, New York.
Adusei-Poku is immersed in the void, the abyss, and sunken places and how those articulate themselves in texts, bodies, images, and relations. The question "What are the conditions of our existence?," which Stuart Hall asked, remain core to her journey and inspire her to embody and develop a decolonized pedagogical approach and to explore the performativity of nothingness and life "in the hold." Since 2015 she is co-founder of N+.
Adusei-Poku has published several articles, including “Post-Post-Black?” in Nka-Journal for Contemporary African Art and “Catch Me If You Can!,” which is a critical reflection on the state of diversity and decolonization in the arts and art education. In her most recent publication “On Being Present Where You Wish to Disappear,” she questions the notion of nothingness, universality, and whiteness common in the contemporary art world.

Writing after Fascism: Curzio Malaparte between Paris and Moscow
Jenny McPhee, New York University
Stephen Twilley, Public Books
*Please note start time changed to 7:00 p.m.*
Wednesday, October 17, 2018
7–8:30 pm
Olin, Room 102Pioneering autofiction with his WWII novels Kaputt (1944) and The Skin (1949), Italian writer Curzio Malaparte is one of most controversial authors of the 20th Century. Malaparte was a protagonist of interwar Europe, from his tumultuous relations with Mussolini and the fascist regime to the cosmopolitan dalliances with French and Russian intelligentsia. He narrated these experiences in the two memoirs The Kremlin Ball and Diary of a Stranger in Paris, for the first time translated into English respectively by Jenny McPhee and Stephen Twilley and now published by NYRB Classics. The two translators will discuss their experience with Malaparte's texts and their relationship with this fascinating yet problematic author.

The Musical Brain
Dominique Vuvan, Skidmore College
Thursday, October 18, 2018
4:45–6 pm
Preston TheaterMusic is an incredible tool for the study of human cognition. This lecture will review work from the Skidmore Music and Cognition Lab guided by three lines of inquiry. First, how does the cognitive system make predictions, and how might different musical contexts shape predictions during listening? Second, how might music serve as a model to investigate the neural substrates of consciousness? Third, how do people differ in their musical processing, and how might the study of these individual differences help us understand neurocognitive function more generally? I will discuss research that employs multiple methods, including behavioral measurement, event-related potentials, and brain imaging, in order to make direct connections between the study of musical processing and more abstract questions about human nature.Sponsored by: Psychology Program.

Reckless: Henry Kissinger and the Tragedy of Vietnam
A James Clarke Chace Memorial Speaker Series Event
Thursday, October 18, 2018
6–7:30 pm
Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs 170 E. 64 St., New York, NY 10065(NOTE: Attendees must register for tickets: carnegiecouncil.org/calendar/data/2018-10-18-reckless-henry-kissinger-and-the-tragedy-of-vietnam *Discount code attached in listserv invite heading).
The Vietnam War cost America and Vietnam thousands of lives and billions of dollars, and it was the direct result of the supposed master plan of the most important voice in American foreign policy: Henry Kissinger.
Using newly available archival material from the Nixon Presidential Library, Kissinger's personal papers, and material from the archives in Vietnam, Robert K. Brigham punctures the myth of Kissinger as an infallible mastermind. Instead, he constructs a portrait of a rash, opportunistic, and suggestible politician. It was personal political rivalries, the domestic political climate, and strategic confusion that drove Kissinger's actions. There was no great master plan or Bismarckian theory that supported how the United States continued the war or conducted peace negotiations. Its length was doubled for nothing but the ego and poor judgment of a single figure.
Robert K. Brigham is the Shirley Ecker Boskey Professor of History and International Relations at Vassar College.
Colonel Suzanne Nielsen is a professor of political sciences and the Head of the Department of Social Sciences at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. She is coauthor of the textbook American National Security (2018) and writes on civil-military relations, organizational change, and cyber policy and strategy.
This event is part of the James Clarke Chace Memorial Speaker Series. It is cosponsored and hosted by the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs and supported by Foreign Affairs.Sponsored by: Bard Globalization & International Affairs Program.

The Film Photonovel: A Forgotten Medium
Professor Jan Baetens, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
Monday, October 22, 2018
5–6:30 pm
Olin, Room 102The 1950s are not only the golden age of the classic European photonovel (a kind of romance comics with photographs), they also saw the emergence of a short-lived subgenre, the film photonovel, which “transmedializes” real movies in photonovel format. This astonishing mix used to be extremely popular in the late 1950s, before rapidly disappearing in the 1960s. In this lecture, Jan Baetens will sketch the commercial and editorial logic of this fascinating “cultural form” and address a specific example, the adaptation of Louis Malle’s Ascenseur pour l’échafaud.
Jan Baetens is professor of literary theory and cultural studies at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium). He is the author of the forthcoming The Film Photonovel: A Cultural History of Forgotten Adaptations (Texas University Press, 2019) and, most recently, of Novelization: From Film to Novel (Ohio State University Press, 2018), À voix haute (Les Impressions Nouvelles, 2016), The Graphic Novel (Cambridge University Press, 2014, with H. Frey), and Pour en finir avec la poésie dite minimaliste (Les Impressions Nouvelles, 2014). Baetens coedited the Cambridge History of the Graphic Novel (2018). He is also a prolific poet (Cent fois sur le métier, 2004; Vivre sa vie, 2005; Autres nuages, 2012, Ce monde, 2015; La lecture, 2017—among many other titles) and a novelist (Faire sécession, 2017).Sponsored by: French Studies Program; Literature Program.

Dance at Work in Euripides’s Ion
Sarah Olsen, Assistant Professor of Classics at Williams College
Tuesday, October 23, 2018
5–6:30 pm
RKC 103This talk compares Euripides’s Ion (ca. 413 BCE) with Fredrick Ashton’s ballet Cinderella (1948), arguing that in both productions, dance serves to foreshadow the titular character’s transformation from rags to royalty. I will further demonstrate that Euripides’s play, in sharp contrast to Ashton’s playful ballet, exploits the ambivalent status of solo dance in the ancient Greek cultural imagination to underscore the tragedy of Ion’s transformation, using the language and imagery of movement to unsettle our assumptions about both Ion and his mother, Creusa.Sponsored by: Classical Studies Program; Dance Program; Gender and Sexuality Studies Program.

A Reading by Ann Lauterbach
The poet and National Book Award finalist Ann Lauterbach will read from her new collection, Spell.
Tuesday, October 23, 2018
6–8 pm
Oblong BooksAnn Lauterbach is one of America’s most inventive poets, acclaimed for her fierce, sensuous, and intellectually charged work. In her tenth collection, Spell, Lauterbach activates the many meanings of “spell”: her sense that the world is under a spell from which it must awaken, to spells of passing weather, to her desire to spell out life’s difficulties and wonders, and how single words (and their etymologies) might inform and enlighten our contemporary condition. In short poems, poem sequences, and a series of “Conversations with Evening,” Lauterbach calls upon all her imaginative resources to locate a new hybrid poetics of reality, with wit, urgency, and candor.
“As a poet, Lauterbach is nothing if not versatile in content and form. . . . Her register is resolutely multivalent. . . . She challenges and enchants.” —The Rumpus

You Can “Enter a Garage” but Can You Also “Crab-walk a Garage”?
Evidence for Flexible Linguistic Encoding in Chinese, English, Portuguese, and Spanish
Thursday, October 25, 2018
4:45–6 pm
Preston TheaterLanguages differ in how they package the components of an event into words to form sentences. For example, while some languages (like English) typically encode the manner of motion in the verb (e.g., crab-walking), others (like Spanish) more often use verbs that encode the path (e.g., entering). These tendencies lead to biases in learning: children and adults assume that novel motion verbs will reflect the dominant pattern of their own language (manner for English, path for Spanish). Moreover, these biases are flexible: when taught a series of novel motion verbs that all encode path, English speakers will shift to expecting that subsequent verbs will encode path instead of manner. In this talk, I’ll address some limitations of this work (in English) and extend it to new languages: Chinese, Portuguese, and Spanish. I'll conclude by discussing the implications of these results for the architecture of language in the mind.

The "end state’’ of galactic evolution
Alison Crocker, Reed College
Friday, October 26, 2018
12–1 pm
Hegeman 107Early-type galaxies (elliptical and lenticular galaxies) are high-entropy stellar systems, all galaxies will eventually tend toward such states (perhaps sped up by interactions with other galaxies). Many early-type galaxies are also high-entropy gaseous systems, essentially with hot gas atmospheres maintained by energy input from their central super-massive black hole, not entirely differently than how central nuclear reactions support stars. However, some early-type galaxies still contain low-entropy, cold gas. In these cases, the galaxies are not quite in an ``end state”. I will discuss possible evolutionary pathways and physical processes that explain how some early-type galaxies still have cold gas reservoirs.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

Vijay Iyer and Teju Cole
Blind Spot
Friday, October 26, 2018
8 pm
Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater“No one in jazz sounds like Iyer.” —Chicago Tribune
“One of the most vibrant voices in contemporary writing.” —Los Angeles Times on Teju Cole
Pioneering jazz composer and pianist Vijay Iyer and Nigerian American writer and photographer (and Bard faculty member) Teju Cole present a powerful new collaboration. With images and text from Cole’s newly released book of the same title alongside Iyer’s live score, Blind Spot investigates humanity’s blindness to tragedy and injustice throughout history.
In this innovative synthesis of words, music, and images, Cole leads us through a multimedia diary of years of near-constant travel: from a park in Berlin to a mountain range in Switzerland, a church exterior in Lagos to a house in Tivoli, NY; landscapes and interiors, beautiful or quotidian, that inspire Cole’s memories, fantasies, and introspections. Iyer at piano, with Patricia Brennan on vibraphone and Stephan Crump on bass, create the improvised music in real time, using as a score, in Cole’s words, “the images, the words I’m reading, and the pace at which I move to the next image, our collective presence and those of us on the stage and those of us in the audience.”
Featuring
Teju Cole, images and text
Vijay Iyer, piano
Patricia Brennan, mallets
Stephan Crump, bass
Jonathan Finlayson, trumpet
A book and album signing with the artists will follow the performance.Sponsored by: Fisher Center.
