SUMMARY:Living a Full\, Ethical and Sustainable Life in the 21st Century*
DESCRIPTION:2018 John M. Rezendes Visiting Scholar in Ethics\nLiving a Full\, Ethical and Sustainable Life in the 21st Century:\nLessons from Psychology\, Ethics and Human-Centered Design \nThe 2018 John M. Rezendes Visiting Scholar in Ethics is Professor Mick Smyer. Smyer\, a national expert on aging\, is a professor of psychology and the former provost at Bucknell University. He also is a senior fellow in social innovation at Babson College. Smyer will be here on April 4th for a busy afternoon of events. \n2pm: Workshop on Aging and Climate Change with Mick Smyer\, location TBD \n4: Reception\, Nutting Hall\, Room 100 \n4:30: Lecture\, Nutting Hall\, Room 100 \nBrief Abstract: \nConsider these key ethical dilemmas that each of us face as we age in the 21st century: \n\nWhat are our ethical duties to successive generations?\nWhat is a “good life”?  What is a sustainable life?  And are they compatible?\nWhat is the “proportional responsibility” of different age groups for climate action? How is the action to be shared among such groups?\nDo older age groups have a larger responsibility to take action since they have benefited more from the actions that have produced climate change?\n\nDrawing on work from psychology\, ethics\, and human-centered design\, Professor Smyer will outline key psychological barriers to fully answering these questions and key strategies to move each of us from anxiety to action to habit in crafting a full\, ethical and sustainable life across generations. \n  \nCo-sponsored by the McGillicuddy Humanities Center.

SUMMARY:Life of Ideas\, Notions\, and Concepts with Guest Enzo Traverso*
DESCRIPTION:Enzo Traverso\, the Susan and Barton Winokur Professor in the Humanities at Cornell University\, will be giving a talk titled “Burdens of the Past. The Age of Left-Wing Melancholia.” \n\nThe talk is part of a yearlong talk series “Life of Ideas\, Notions\, and Concepts” curated by MHC faculty board member Frédéric Rondeau which included fall and spring panels of UMaine faculty\, as well as upcoming guest speaker Éric Méchoulan. \nEnzo Traverso was born in Italy\, studied history at the University of Genoa and received his PhD from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) of Paris in 1989. He has taught political science in France and been visiting professor in several European and Latin American countries. In 2013 he became the Susan and Barton Winokur Professor in the Humanities at Cornell University. His publications\, translated into a dozen languages\, include The Jews and Germany (1995)\, The Origins of Nazi Violence (2003)\, Fire and Blood: The European Civil War 1914-1945 (2015)\, The End of Jewish Modernity (2016). \nTraverso will talk about his latest book: Left-Wing Melancholia: Marxism\, History\, and Memory (New York: Columbia UP\, 2017) \nFrom the back jacket : \nThroughout the twentieth century\, argues Left-Wing Melancholia\, from classical Marxism to psychoanalysis to the advent of critical theory\, a culture of defeat and its emotional overlay of melancholy have characterized the leftist understanding of the political in history and in theoretical critique. \nDrawing on a vast and diverse archive in theory\, testimony\, and image and on such thinkers as Karl Marx\, Walter Benjamin\, Theodor W. Adorno\, and others . . . Traverso explores the varying nature of left melancholy as it has manifested in a feeling of guilt for not sufficiently challenging authority\, in a fear of surrendering in disarray and resignation\, in mourning the human costs of the past\, and in a sense of failure for not realizing utopian aspirations. Yet hidden within this melancholic tradition are the resources for a renewed challenge to prevailing regimes of historicity\, a passion that has the power to reignite the dialectic of revolutionary thought. \nEnzo Traverso’s March 29 talk will take place at the Allen and Sally Fernald APPE space\, Stewart Commons IMRC. Refreshments will be served. \nPart of the McGillicuddy Humanities Center’s 2017-2018 symposium Juvenescence/Obsolescence: Humanities Approaches to Aging across the Ages.

SUMMARY:Becoming Ecological: Towards a Process Metaphysical Subjectivity
DESCRIPTION:2017-18 Philosophy Department Colloquium Series presents guest lecturer Russell Duvernoy\, Instructor of Philosophy at Seattle University. Duvernoy will give a talk titled “Becoming Ecological: Towards a Process Metaphysical Subjectivity.” This is the first in a series of four talks on Environmental Philosophy. \nAbstract: Beginning from present ecological turbulence and dire climate change predictions\, and\nfollowing Pope Francis’s call for “ecological conversion\,” Duvernoy will explore conceptual changes\nnecessary for actualizing such conversions. He argues that viable ecological conversion requires\nfurther investigation into metaphysical questions inherent in thinking ecologically and he will outline\nthree risks that a cogent conception of conversion must avoid. Duvernoy will then draw on the work\nof Guattari\, Stengers\, Deleuze\, and Whitehead to show that a process metaphysically inflected\nconception of subjectivity is a more efficacious framework for ecological conversion\, focusing on\nhow it encourages habits of attention productive of greater awareness of ecological complexity.

SUMMARY:Friendship as Reflective Environmental Practice
DESCRIPTION:2017-18 Philosophy Department Colloquium Series presents guest lecturer Bryan Bannon\, Associate Professor and Director of Environmental Studies\, Merrimack College. Duvernoy will give a talk titled “Friendship as Reflective Environmental Practice.” This is the second in a series of four talks on Environmental Philosophy. \nAbstract: In this presentation\, Bannon argues for a specific hermeneutic framework for understanding the human relationship to nature\, friendship. Many current discussions of the human-nature relationship focus on the question of anthropocentrism\, taking for granted that nature is a “moral patient.” Following an argument by Val Plumwood\, Bannon\, however\, contends that if nature is understood as an active agency\, we are able to begin conceptualizing what the contours of a friendship with nature would be like. After describing such contours\, Bannon also considers how modeling our relationship on friendship could help to extricate environmentalism from its position as a discourse of sacrifice and situate it as an alternative conception of the good life.

SUMMARY:History Symposium: Dr. Margaret Pearce
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Margaret Pearce will give a lecture titled “Imagination\, Identity\, and the Cartography of History: Three Maps of Canada.” \n \nDr. Margaret W. Pearce is a former Associate Professor of Geography at the University of Kansas. Pearce was part of the team that recently published a Native place name map “Coming Home to Indigenous Place Names in Canada.” \nAbstract: \n“In this talk\, I introduce cartography as a form of language and demonstrate how I’ve worked with that language to explore and express Canadian history. I present three maps: the route of a North West Company clerk in 1797\, the travels of Samuel de Champlain between 1603 and 1616\, and a map of Indigenous place names. Working with a focus on the relationship between cartographer and reader\, each map engages with the themes of imagination and identity in the search for a design solution. Each map arrives at a different answer to the question\, what is history?” \nPart of the History Symposium and organized by the History Department.

SUMMARY:A Book’s Afterlife: Ireland’s Magdalene Laundries\, Academic Advocacy\, and Restorative Justice
DESCRIPTION:The lecture is free and open to the public. \nJAMES M. SMITH is an Associate Professor in the English Department and Irish Studies Program at Boston College. His book\, Ireland’s Magdalen Laundries and the Nation’s Architecture of Containment\, was praised by Colm Tóibín as essential reading “for anyone interested in the fear and cruelty surrounding women’s sexuality in the Ireland of the recent past.” The Magdalen laundries were workhouses in which many Irish women and girls were effectively imprisoned because they were perceived to be a threat to the moral fiber of society. Mandated by the Irish state beginning in the eighteenth century\, they were operated by various orders of the Catholic Church until the last laundry closed in 1996. In 1993\, a public scandal was triggered when the remains of 155 inmates\, buried in unmarked graves on the property\, were exhumed\, cremated\, and buried elsewhere in a mass grave. Smith’s work with archival materials and survivors is\, in Colum McCann’s words\, a “brilliant\, art-driven examination of a story\, or history\, that needs to be told over and over and over again\, lest it be forgotten or allowed to seep into the ambient noise.” \nCreated by Stephen E. King Chair of Literature\, Caroline Bicks.  \n  \nAlso check out a discussion on Magdalene Laundries the previous day (March 6th) at Orono High School:

SUMMARY:Life of Ideas\, Notions\, and Concepts with Guest Éric Méchoulan*
DESCRIPTION:University of Montreal Professor to Give Talk on Friendship \nOn March 6\, from 4 to 5:30PM the McGillicuddy Humanities Center\, as part of the Life of Ideas series\, curated by Frédéric Rondeau\, will host scholar Éric Méchoulan. Méchoulan will give a talk titled “On Friendship: A Brief History of the Concept from Aristotle to Facebook.” \nÉric Méchoulan is an early modernist and cultural historian with significant interests in critical theory and digital humanities. His early interest in the history of the book (first as a librarian and then as a cultural historian)\, as well as in collective memories have led him to work intermedially: from the very institutions that authorize communication to the materialities of communication (images as well as texts)\, Méchoulan argues that attending to the transmission of texts and images allows for a sharper understanding of aesthetic works. \nHis most recent book\, Lire avec soin (Careful Reading) focuses on the idea that reading is not a simple decoding of signs. Rather\, it must be integrated into a history of media and a theory of justice. Méchoulan uses the concept of an “ethics of care” to make visible relations which previously went unnoticed\, or the importance of which have been undervalued. Méchoulan focuses on the relationships in which individuals find themselves\, considering that subjects are the temporary products of intertwined flows stabilized by media\, cultural habits\, institutions\, in short\, by life. His work is attentive to the “politics of transmission” in the sense that before thinking about what we say\, we should think about how we say it: \n “Learning to read carefully is not simply a matter of learning to see the latent content of discourses and situations\, it consists\, rather\, of building a relationship of trust with events\, things\, and living beings in order to better understand and comprehend their multiple temporalities. Intelligence in this case is not vexed by questions of domination or mastery: as language suggests\, it is\, in fact\, a question of being intelligent in the company of others—both past and present—that is to say\, of creating a microsociety of readers. One is never intelligent alone. ” (Lire avec soin 146). \nÉric Méchoulan is a professor of French Literature at the Université de Montréal\, and also director of the Research Centre Virtuoso on digital uses\, cultures\, and documents. He is also the head of the committee of the Fondation Paul-Zumthor. From 2004 to 2010\, he served as a directeur de programme at the Collège international de philosophie in Paris. \nMéchoulan’s March 6 talk “On Friendship. A Brief History of the Concept from Aristotle to Facebook” will take place at the Allen and Sally Fernald APPE space\, Stewart Commons IMRC.Refreshments will be served.  \n  \nThe talk is part of the yearlong talk series “Life of Ideas\, Notions\, and Concepts” curated by MHC faculty board member Frédéric Rondeau which included fall and spring panels of UMaine faculty\, as well as upcoming guest speaker Enzo Traverso. \n \nPart of the McGillicuddy Humanities Center’s 2017-2018 symposium is Juvenescence/Obsolescence: Humanities Approaches to Aging across the Ages.

SUMMARY:“Six Centuries\, Six Years” Documentary Screening*
DESCRIPTION:The documentary screening of Six Centuries\, Six Years will be followed by a music history panel discussion. The panel includes UMaine School of Performing Arts music faculty Beth Wiemann\, Laura Artesani\, and Stuart Marrs. \nAbout the film Six Centuries\, Six Years: \n“Film portrays the endeavors of a group of Iranian master musicians who are trying to locate\, restore and record a repertoire of compositions attributed to Abd al-Qadir Maraghi\, a prominent composer who lived six centuries ago and greatly influenced the Middle Eastern classical music. During their six-year journey\, the group is finally able to reassemble a major portion of these ballads by sifting through manuscripts and other documents deeply buried in the annals of Iranian and Turkish art history. Film follows these musicians as they rediscover forgotten music that deepens the roots of our music as far as six centuries.” You can find more information about the film here. \n\n\nThis event is also supported by the School of Performing Arts and the Center for Undergraduate Research and organized by Amir Hosain Haddad Kolour\, an Iranian PhD candidate at Civil Engineering Department.

SUMMARY:Life of Ideas\, Notions\, and Concepts: Michael Lang\, Anne Knowles\, and Michael Howard*
DESCRIPTION:The second event of the series “Life of Ideas\, Notions\, and Concepts” will feature three UMaine faculty members and take place on Thursday February 22 from 4-5:30PM in the Hill Auditorium\, Barrows Hall. \nParticipants:\nMichael Lang (History): “Innumerable times\, all at one time: A History of Ages and Epochs.”\nAnne Knowles (History): “The Age of the Map: Finished? Or Just Getting Started?”\nMichael Howard (Philosophy): “Basic Income: Periodic Companion of the Luddite Fallacy\, or an Idea Whose Time Has (Finally) Come?” \nModerator: Frédéric Rondeau \n\nAbout: The Life of Ideas\, Notions\, and Concepts \nA series consisting of two panels by UMaine Humanities professors and two lectures by visiting scholars curated by Fréderic Rondeau. \n\n\nSome ideas get old. Some revive after decades of turmoil. Some seem gone forever\, and then come back. The decline and the renaissance of an idea\, a word\, tells us a lot about our society and values. Participants in The Life of Ideas will think about this phenomenon critically by addressing the lifespan of an array of theoretical concepts from humanities disciplines. \nThe first panel took place in November 2017 with participants Steve Evans (English): “Late Style: A Feminist Future for a Category of Patriarchal Aesthetics?” and Justin Wolff (Art History): “Passé: Notes on Connoisseurship & Art History.”  In March\, there will be two lectures by prominent scholars Eric Méchoulan (Université de Montréal) and Enzo Traverso (Cornell University). \nAll events are free and open to the public. \n“Lifespan of Ideas” was created by Frédéric Rondeau and is part of the 2017-2018 year-long symposium Juvenescence / Obsolescence: Humanities Approaches to Aging across the Ages.

Presentations topics will include making a living as an author\, medical ethics\, the Maine Multi-Cultural Center\, Peter Archambault (an artist from Madawaska)\, wedding perfection hysteria\, and bacteriophage. \nFor the big day (Saturday Feb. 3rd) there are three all day events: \n\nA student art show (6-8pm Friday and 10am-2pm Saturday) at COESPACE.\nA downtown cultural scavenger hunt with prizes given out at 6pm at UMaine Museum of Art.

The title page is at the UMMA\, and the first pages are at Bagel Central\, wraps up to Fork and Spoon\, and ends at Epic Sports. (See map below.)\n\nScheduled programming for the 2018 Bangor Humanities Day kicks starts at 11am at the Maine Discovery Museum where the Bangor Symphony Youth Orchestra will be performing a concert and then holding a petting zoo\, where young ones interested in checking out the instruments can do so with the help of BSYO members. \n \nOur co-sponsor Bangor Public Library is hosting the following three programmed activities in the early afternoon: \n\nAt 12:15pm\, come enjoy the music of a local Celtic Quartet performing Irish and Scottish tunes and songs. Pauleena MacDougall on fiddle\, Nancy Neff on accordion\, Cathy Segee on flute and whistle\, and Daryne Rockett on harp. Performance in the Atrium.\nAt 1:15\, check out the Grant Workshop: an informal panel designed to help cultural workers in the arts and humanities to learn about the broad range of grants that are available to provide financial support for public cultural programs. Representatives from the Maine Humanities Council and the Bangor Commission on Cultural Development will discuss their grant programs\, will provide tips on what makes a winning application\, and will answer audience questions. Located in Crofutt Room.\nFinally at 2:15\, head over to the Oral History Workshop. Ever wanted to record family or community stories but not sure how to go about it?

We look to provide a space for dynamic creative performances: writers\, dancers\, visual artists\, musicians\, actors\, workshop leaders\, community engagers\, scholars and everything outside and in-between. Our events are as dynamic as the content presented – one night might consist of a poetry reading in tandem with a print installation piece\, another might look like an integrated music/drama performance\, and yet another might explore a social engagement workshop.” \nAt 5:30\, the day wraps up at UMaine Museum of Art with art & hors d’oeuvres (by Basil Creek catering) and a cash bar. UMMA director George Kinghorn will be giving tours of the gallery’s new collections.
