SUMMARY:DH Pop In: Simple Mapping
DESCRIPTION:Building off of the success of the Black Digital History event this spring\, the McGillicuddy Humanities Center will be continuing their DH Pop In series throughout the year to show the potential and accessibility of the digital humanities for research and classroom use. Spearheaded by the MHC’s Humanities Specialist Karen Sieber\, each event will showcase a different tool or digital project\, and teach users how to use similar methods in their own research or creative work\, including mapping\, textual analysis and digital exhibits. \nThe next DH Pop In will be Tuesday\, August 18\, at 1PM. Sieber will show virtual attendees how to build quick\, easy\, free interactive maps and guided tours using the tools StoryMapJS\, GoogleMaps and Clio. No experience is necessary. Possibly uses include building interactive maps to help students make sense of jam-packed survey classes\, harnessing the power of maps to organize research notes\, and breaking down big ideas spatially for a general audience. These tools also allow for collaborative remote work for classrooms meeting virtually. \nEmail mhc@maine.edu to get the link to register for the DH Pop In. \nSieber’s own digital humanities work has received national attention in recent years. The site Digital Loray (www.digitalloray.org) received the National Humanities Alliance’s “Humanities For All” award. The map\, timeline and digital archive on the race riots of 1919 that she built (www.visualizingtheredsummer.com) is used in classrooms around the country and has reached hundreds of thousands of users.

SUMMARY:Innocence Unprotected: The Cinema of Colonization and Decolonization
DESCRIPTION:The McGillicuddy Humanities Center is holding a year-long film series examining “The Cinema of Colonization and Decolonization” as part of our annual symposium. The films selected engage with the theme in a variety of ways\, from incorporating the legacies of colonization into the storyline to disrupting traditional Western systems and methods of production and distribution. Films are shown in Hill Auditorium in Barrows Hall (ESRB) on select Monday evenings at 6 p.m. All movies are free\, open to the public\, and include a meal and discussion. \nMarch 9: Coffy \nCoffy  (1973)\, directed by Jack Hill\, is a classic of blaxploitation cinema starring Pam Grier as a vigilante nurse fighting drug dealers\, criminals\, and the system\, in an effort to avenge her sister’s death. The film subverts the action/crime movie genre and places black characters at the center as the heroes. Noted visiting film scholar\, Professor Ernest Mathijs from the Film and Media Studies Department at the University of British Columbia\, will lead a discussion following the film. \nMarch 23: Innocence Unprotected \nInnocence Unprotected (1968)\, directed by Dusan Makavejev\, is a Yugoslav film pieced together with footage from an earlier 1941 film of the same name made by gymnast Dragoljub Aleksić that was never released due to Nazi censors. Makavejev added additional news footage from the war and Nazi propaganda to turn it into something entirely new\, part documentary\, part bizarre acrobatic montage. Michael Grillo\, Associate Professor of the History of Art at UMaine\, will lead a discussion following the film. \nApril 6: Timbuktu  \nTimbuktu (2014)\, directed by Abderrahmane Sissako\, is a French-Mauritanian film that examines the brief occupation of Timbuktu\, Mali by the militant Islamist group Ansar Dine. The film has won numerous awards\, including the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Foreign Language Film\, and the National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Alan Berry\, PhD student in Communication\, will lead a discussion following the film. \n

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Hunter Without Hunting Ground: The Dispossessed Wanderer in 21st Century Film
DESCRIPTION:CANCELED due to unforeseen travel issues.\nFollow our calendar to stay informed about other upcoming events.\nThe Rising Tide Center in collaboration with the Department of Communication & Journalism and the McGillicuddy Humanities Center presents\, “Hunter Without Hunting Ground: The Dispossessed Wanderer in 21st Century Film ” \nVisiting professor Dr. Ernest Mathijs\, Professor of Film and Media Studies at the University of British Columbia\, will speak in Hill Auditorium in Barrows Hall on March 10 at 4p.m. The event is free and open to the public. \nFrom Charlie Chaplin’s loving tramp to violent hillbillies in Deliverance and zombies in the Walking Dead\, portrayals of the dispossessed wanderer\, or “white trash” in film as”backwards” are fundamental in informing American debate on race\, gender\, and belonging. In this lecture\, Professor Ernest Mathijs will trace the representation of rural\, white dispossessed wanderers in film through the years and show how our understanding of property ownership as an identity-affirming value influences current political discussions. \n“Hunter Without Hunting Grounds” is supported in part by a grant from the Cultural Affairs/Distinguished Lecture Series fund. \n

SUMMARY:Visiting Professor Erin J. Kappeler's lecture on "Mary Austin's Time Machine: Modernist Poetics and Settler Time"
DESCRIPTION:Visiting professor Erin J. Kappeler (Tulane University) will be speaking in Hill Auditorium in Barrows Hall on Wednesday\, March 4\, at 3PM. \nKappeler will explore key texts by the modernist poet and activist Mary Austin\, who helped to invent Native American poetry as a field\, to show that the concept of free verse was a tool of settler cultural domination as much as it was a democratization of poetic language or a formal innovation. This history of free verse translations of Native American oral expressions opens pressing questions about the ethics of translation and about legacies of settler colonial appropriations of Native American cultural materials in contemporary English departments. \nPart of the McGillicuddy Humanities Center’s symposium on “Society\, Colonization\, and Decolonization.” The event is free and open to the public. \n

SUMMARY:Pre-Performance Lecture by Dick Brucher on Arthur Miller's "All My Sons"
DESCRIPTION:RESCDHEDULED FOR SNOW\nNEW DATE: Sunday\, February 9\, 2020\n12 p.m. reception and lecture (FREE)\n1 p.m. show (WITH TICKET)\n\n\nThe McGillicuddy Humanities Center presents UMaine professor Dick Brucher\, who will be giving a pre-performance lecture on Arthur Miller’s play All My Sons on Friday\, February 7 at 12 p.m. The play\, which broadcasts live from The Old Vic in London following the lecture\, stars Academy Award-winner Sally Field (Steel Magnolias\, Brothers & Sisters) and Bill Pullman (The Sinner\, Independence Day). Jeremy Herrin directs the cast\, which also includes Jenna Coleman (Victoria)\, and Colin Morgan (Merlin) alongside Bessie Carter\, Oliver Johnstone\, Kayla Meikle and Sule Rimi. \n\n  \n\nBrucher on Miller’s play: \nLate in Arthur Miller’s All My Sons (1947)\, factory owner Joe Keller asks what can be more important than family. It was for family\, and under pressure from the Army Air Force for production\, that Joe says he told his partner to ship faulty airplane parts that killed 21 American pilots during the war. That past decision\, revealed in the present\, betrays the Kellers’ son Chris\, an idealist and veteran\, who insists that there is more to life than business profit and family loyalty. Miller domesticates corporate practice to create middle-class tragedy. \nAll My Sons is what Miller called a birds-coming-home-to-roost play\, one in which retrospective action brings the past to bear on the present\, and connects personal deeds and public consequences. Miller tried to make the play so untheatrical that audience members would mistake the world presented onstage for their own. Miller set out to capture—and to cause audiences to experience—the wonder in the fact that consequences are as real as the actions that cause them. This idea is as timely in 2020 as it was in 1947. \nAll My Sons was Miller’s first big hit; and it has remained among his most popular plays\, up there with Death of a Salesman (1949)\, The Crucible (1953)\, and A View from the Bridge (1955/56). My introduction to the NTLive streaming of the play will discuss its basis in contemporary (1940s) events\, the influences of Henrik Ibsen’s plays on Miller’s work\, and the experience of modern tragedy. The talk will raise a few problems in interpretation and staging\, particularly regarding characters’ motives and interactions.  \n\n\n\nWhat is NT Live?\nNational Theatre Live transmits the best of British theatre live from London to screens around the world. The broadcasts are filmed in front of a live audience\, with cameras carefully positioned throughout the theatre to ensure cinema audiences get the best-seat-in-the-house view. Productions are transmitted via satellite to the Collins Center\, then projected onto our high-definition screen — one of the largest in the state.

SUMMARY:McGillicuddy Humanities Center Film Series : Before Tomorrow
DESCRIPTION:Greg Quill’s review of Before Tomorrow from The Star: \n“A disturbing and powerful metaphor for the doom visited on the Inuit after their insulated world was penetrated by Europeans in the mid-1800s\, Before Tomorrow\, co-directed by native filmmakers and writers Marie-Hélène Cousineau and Madeline Ivalu\, imagines a moment in which these once hardy people\, ill-equipped to survive in the new order\, face the awful inevitability of extinction.” \n  \nThe McGillicuddy Humanities Center Film Series will feature a collection of six films throughout the academic year related to “The Cinema of Colonization and Decolonization.” The global films in the series\, from France\, Africa\, Canada\, Argentina and the United States\, feature a variety of filming styles\, including documentary\, ethnographic\, and outsider films alongside studio productions. The film selections examine colonialism\, racism and post-colonial identity\, as well as decolonization of the film industry itself. \nAll films will be shown in the Hill Auditorium in Barrows Hall at 6PM on the following Mondays. Spring films and dates announced soon: \n\nOctober 21 – Zama (2017)\, dir. Lucrecia Martel\, 115 minute runtime\nNovember 4 – Carol (2015)\, dir.

SUMMARY:Pre-Performance Lecture by King Chair Caroline Bicks\,"Midsummer Night Queens"
DESCRIPTION:Pre-performance reception and lecture entitled “Midsummer-Night Queens”\, presented by the McGillicuddy Humanities Center. \nUMaine professor and Stephen E. King Chair Caroline Bicks\, a Shakespeare scholar\, will conduct the lecture about Shakespeare’s magical comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, which features an abundance of queens\, including an off-stage appearance by Elizabeth I herself. Dr. Bicks will discuss the thematic issues that circulate around these formidable females and that inform the play’s larger explorations of love\, gender\, and power. \n6-6:15pm reception\n6:15-6:45pm lecture\n7 pm – Live broadcast of the show from the National Theater in London \nThe lecture and reception will take place in Bodwell Lounge on the 3rd floor of the Collins Center for the Arts. \nAbout the play: A feuding fairy King and Queen of the forest cross paths with four runaway lovers and a troupe of actors trying to rehearse a play. As their dispute grows\, the magical royal couple meddle with mortal lives leading to love triangles\, mistaken identities and transformations… with hilarious\, but dark consequences. \nShakespeare’s most famous romantic comedy will be captured live from the Bridge Theatre in London. Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones)\, Oliver Chris (Green Wing\, NT Live: Young Marx)\, David Moorst (NT Live: Allelujah!) and Hammed Animashaun (The Barber Shop Chronicles) lead the cast as Titania\, Oberon\, Puck and Bottom. \nDirected by Nicholas Hytner\, this production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream will build on the success of his immersive staging of Julius Caesar (NT Live 2018). The Bridge Theatre will become a forest – a dream world of flying fairies\, contagious fogs and moonlight revels\, surrounded by a roving audience following the action on foot.
