SUMMARY:“The Bridge is Jammed with Mountain People: Essays on Place in Central Appalachia”
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, April 19 at 11:00 am in the Weisz Room of the Maples (110)\, outgoing MHC Undergraduate Fellow Iris Loehr\, an English major in the Honors College\, will present on her project “The Bridge is Jammed with Mountain People: Essays on Place in Central Appalachia” by Iris Loehr as part of UMaine’s Women in Philosophy conference. By blending creative and academic styles\, Loehr’s project explores human interaction with the region’s geography and geology to develop a narrative of Appalachian identity that runs counter to the ones driven by stigma. In the popular imagination\, Appalachia is a site of poverty\, incest and strife. Online characterizations of Appalachia portray it as a place filled with cannibals\, killers\, and spirits that haunt the woods deep in the mountains. Loehr’s project challenges the stigmas drawn from the region’s systemic poverty and historical isolation by presenting a vision of Appalachian culture that’s vibrant\, nuanced and inherently bound to the mountains from which it emerged. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Video Games Teach History
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 23rd | 1:45pm-2:45pm  \nMeeting Rooms 1&2\, Cross Insurance Center\, 515 Main Street\, Bangor \nThe interactive and immersive quality of video games has helped make them wildly popular and profitable entertainment media. This session will explore how the ability of gamers to relive\, alter\, and explore a game world has implications on how we understand fundamental aspects of the human experience. For example\, history-based video games raise rich questions about “agency\,” the degree to which individuals shape their own future\, in contrast with systematic trends. We will explore with the audience how video games might help us to think differently about the human experience. \nEvent type: Presentation \nPresenters: Chapman Hall\, University of Maine (Undergraduate Student)\, Liam Riordan\, University of Maine\, Robby Finley\, University of Maine Philosophy Department \nModerator: Liam Riordan\, University of Maine \nSponsor: Maine Community College System \nRecommended Audience: middle school and up \nVideo Games Teach History is sponsored by Maine Community College System

SUMMARY:Pre-Performance Lecture: Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo
DESCRIPTION:The McGillicuddy Humanities Center presents a pre-performance lecture by D Granke\, assistant professor in the UMaine School of Performing Arts Division of Theatre\, a director\, fight director\, intimacy director\, and theatre movement specialist. \nLes Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo\, the world’s foremost all-male comic ballet company\,  brings its internationally beloved troupe of dancers to the CCA as part of its landmark 50th anniversary season featuring gems from across the company’s groundbreaking repertoire.  Founded in New York City in 1974\, the company\, affectionately known as the Trocks\, has grown from its roots in late-late shows in off-off Broadway lofts to a global touring sensation\, performing from Tokyo to Toronto and everywhere in between.  The company dances en travesti with razor-sharp wit and breathtaking pointe work\, performing polished parodies of works that span the classical ballet canon.  Revered by ballet aficionados as well as by those who don’t know a plié from a jeté\, the Trocks are “a guaranteed hoot for people who know nothing of ballet and an absolute must for those who think they know the originals.” (Sydney Star Observer). \nD Granke’s pre-performance lecture is free and open to the public. Tickets for Les Ballets Trockadero begin at $27 for adults and $16 for K-12 students\, including all fees.

SUMMARY:Eve Beglarian
DESCRIPTION:On February 22 at 7:30 p.m.\, the Clement and Linda McGillicuddy Humanities Center and the UMaine School of Performing Arts will host composer and performer Eve Beglarian. Here’s her description of her set list for the concert:\n \n“The first half of tonight’s performance offers you some of the pieces I made in response to a four-month journey I made by kayak and bicycle down the Mississippi River in 2009. Some of the pieces are based on historical events: (the 1927 Flood\, the Siege of Vicksburg during the Civil War…) and others are inspired by things people said to me along the way (“I am really a very simple person”\, “All good is luck”…)\n\n\n \n“The second part of the performance is a selection of settings of the poetry of James Tate I have been making in collaboration with James Moore\, Andie Tanning\, and Jim Fletcher. (Andie and Jim can’t be here this evening\, so we have Josh and Beth guesting in instead.)\n\n\nThe two projects meet in the middle with my setting of James Tate’s poem It Happens Like This\, which is both part of The River Project and What are the Chances?\n\n\n \n“It’s always good to have a goat at the center of things.”

SUMMARY:"A Tree Of Life: The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting" Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Judaic Studies is honored to host a free screening of the documentary film “A Tree of Life: The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting” with a live panel discussion with survivors of that terrible attack.\n \nOn October 27th\, 2018\, a gunman opened fire inside a Pittsburgh synagogue\, killing eleven people as they prayed\, in what would become the deadliest antisemitic attack in American history. A Tree of Life: The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting is a deeply personal portrait of the survivors\, victims and family members\, who share their harrowing first-hand accounts of the impact of the shooting on the community. The film is rooted in a community in the aftermath of a violent attack\, as they work to rebuild and heal. Despite core differences\, they come together to determine what justice looks like and how to best move forward while honoring and learning from the past. The film sheds light on the collective trauma suffered by a tight-knit group and brings into sharp focus the hate-based rhetoric that surrounds many of the mass shootings today\, threatening the fabric of our society.

SUMMARY:Otherworldly Ethics: Trouthe and the Fairy Mistress in the Lays of Lanval\, Graelent\, Guingamor and Sir Launfal
DESCRIPTION:“Otherworldly Ethics: Trouthe and the Fairy Mistress in the Lays of Lanval\, Graelent\, Guingamor and Sir Launfal” \nJoin us on Monday\, November 13 at 3:30 pm in the Coe Room\, Memorial Union\, as outgoing McGillicuddy Humanities Center Fellow Abigail Roberts presents on her project\, “Otherworldly Ethics: Trouthe and the Fairy Mistress in the Lays of Lanval\, Graelent\, Guingamor and Sir Launfal.” \nThough scholars typically agree that fairies of medieval romances typically offer some critique of the human courts in which they intervene\, interpretations more often suggest that fairies behave illogically\, without reason\, as mere plot devices\, or focus on themes of material wealth. Roberts will be discussing how a close examination of the verbal contracts that control the narratives in the lays of Lanval\, Graelent\, Guingamor\, and Sir Launfal may instead reveal that the fairies of these stories introduce to their respective poems a unique feminine ethic that critiques the traditional enactment(s) of trouthe valued in the human court. Far from being arbitrary or illogical\, the fairy mistresses of these lays establish a subtly didactic undertone to the narratives. \nContent Warning: This talk contains brief mention of sexual assault. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Light snacks will be served.

SUMMARY:This River Is Our Relative
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, November 9 at 6:00 pm in the Collins Center for the Arts\, the McGillicuddy Humanities Center will welcome members of the Sunlight Media Collective for a free screening of and discussion/Q&A about the new documentary film “This River Is Our Relative.” \n“This River is Our Relative” is a documentary about the Penobscot Nation’s intrinsic kinship connection to and tireless environmental advocacy for the Penobscot River. The story is told through the voices of 24 Penobscot people\, who share their experience of historical\, physical\, and spiritual connection to place; of cultural identity and survival. Their narratives are interwoven with a traditional Wabanaki story about how The People and Glouskap defeated a greedy monster frog\, Aklebemu\, who was hoarding all the water. This story parallels both historical and present day environmental concerns\, and is also the origin story of the Penobscot family Clans. \nThis documentary shows the Penobscot Nation’s dedication to environmental justice and their efforts to minimize pollution\, demonstrates the importance of respecting inherent Tribal sovereignty\, and celebrates Penobscot peoples’ ongoing river-based cultural traditions. \nThis event is part of the 2023-24 annual MHC symposium\, “Rivers.” \nThe Sunlight Media Collective is an organization of Wabanaki and non-Wabanaki media makers working to document and raise awareness about issues affecting Wabanaki people\, with a particular emphasis on the frequent intersection between environmental issues and Tribal rights. Sunlight Media Collective’s work facilitates understanding\, analysis and historical context\, and provides educational opportunities for alliance building\, social change\, and environmental stewardship.
