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

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.

Marie-Hélène Cousineau and Madeline Ivalu\, 93 minute runtime\n\nRoger Ebert’s review of Carol: \n“In “Carol\,” Haynes turns his eye on the “invisible” lesbian sub-culture of the 1950s closet. A lush emotional melodrama along the lines of the films of Douglas Sirk\, Haynes’ patron saint\, “Carol” is often about its surfaces\, their beauty contrasting with the scary duality of people\, relationships. The surfaces in “Carol” are so seductive that one understands the ache to belong in that world.” \n

SUMMARY:2019 Maine Heritage Lecture by Darren Ranco\, "Protecting Wabanaki Basketmaking Traditions Threatened by an Invasive Pest"
DESCRIPTION:Darren Ranco\, Chair of Native American Programs and Associate Professor of Anthropology\, will be giving this year’s Maine Heritage Lecture on “Protecting Wabanaki Basketmaking Traditions Threatened by an Invasive Pest: Addressing “Wicked Problems” Through Collaborative Research.” \nWabanaki (Micmac\, Maliseet\, Passamaquoddy\, and Penobscot) tribal basketmaking traditions use brown ash trees as their primary source material. This resource is threatened by the Emerald Ash Borer\, an invasive pest from China first found in North American near Detroit in 2002\, which has spread to over 35 states and provinces and killed millions of ash trees. It was discovered in Maine in 2018 for the first time. In this talk\, Dr. Darren Ranco will discuss his nine-year research project to work with tribal basketmakers and other key stakeholders to prepare for the arrival of this pest in Maine. He will discuss how his team used both sustainability science and indigenous research methods to do research that was inclusive\, relevant\, impactful\, and culturally appropriate for the research partners. He will emphasize the ways that Wabanaki basketmakers and indigenous researchers use indigenous forms of diplomacy to assert sovereignty and influence state and federal resource to this invasive pest. \nThe lecture will be held Friday\, October 25\, from 4:00-5:00 pm in Bodwell Lounge\, Collins Center for the Arts. Prior to the lecture\, from 3:00-4:00 pm there will be a reception in the CCA’s Hudson Museum. Both events are free and open to the public. Sponsored by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. \nThe Maine Heritage Lecture showcases research and creative work about the state of Maine\, with particular emphasis on Maine’s sense of place\, history\, diverse cultures\, society\, and policy.

SUMMARY:McGillicuddy Humanities Center Film Series : Zama
DESCRIPTION:The 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\, examine colonialism\, racism and post-colonial identity\, as well as decolonization of the film industry itself. All films will be shown in the Hill Auditorium in Barrows Hall at 6PM on the listed Monday dates\, and will be presented by speakers from across humanities disciplines. \nThe first film in the series is Zama (2017)\, directed by Lucrecia Martel. The University of Maine’s Jamie Havercamp (Anthropology) and Carlos Villacorta Gonzales (Modern Languages; Spanish) will introduce the film\, discuss it’s depiction of colonial South America\, and moderate a Q and A. \nReview of Zama by David Sims in The Atlantic: \n“Zama is a warped portrait of colonial power left to rot in the sun\, a feverishly funny and surreal experience that mostly turns its nose up at narrative. It’s based on Antonio di Benedetto’s 1956 novel of the same name\, but that book tells its story through Zama’s internal monologue\, as he schemes to find ways out of the assignment he’s been handed by the Spanish empire.” \nThe film series continues on the following Mondays: \n\nNovember 4 – Carol (2015)\, dir. Todd Haynes\, 118 runtime\nNovember 18 – Before Tomorrow (2008)\, dir. Marie-Hélène Cousineau and Madeline Ivalu\, 93 minute runtime\nSpring films and dates announced soon.\n\n  \n
