SUMMARY:A Literary Pause with FACC Board Member Stephanie Schechner\, PhD.
DESCRIPTION:The Alliance Française and the FACC will join Stephanie Schechner\, Ph.D.\, Professor of French and Gender\, Women\, and Sexuality Studies\, Widener University\, for a Virtual Talk via Zoom.us. Stephanie will discuss the French novel she translated into English\, Camille in October. \nStephanie will share information about the life of French author Mireille Best\, give readings of passages from the novel in English\, and welcome your questions. \nIn 1950s France\, Camille struggles to figure out who she is and where she fits in the world of her coastal working-class neighborhood. Her mother holds the family together\, with the support of a group of women who talk over coffee and cigarettes each day. Her father\, a war veteran\, is largely silent except when his inner rage erupts in violence. Her sister\, Ariane\, provides comic relief\, while her construction worker brother\, Abel\, is a lost soul who suffers from severe seizures. Camille herself can usually be found curled up with a book\, observing everything. \nBut an intellectual and sexual relationship with her dentist’s wife opens a world of new possibilities to Camille. Where will this lead her? Suicide\, murder\, accidental death–all are possible in this unconventional narrative from French author Mireille Best. As a young adult\, Camille is not always the most reliable narrator\, but she charms with her intelligence\, lack of pretension\, and strong connection to her roots. Through Camille’s eyes\, we embark on a fundamental and universal quest to balance where we come from with who we need to become. \n“Amid misery\, love as a passage to life—emotional and cultural—gives this story its power and its originality. To achieve this required an exacting sensitivity. Here is the true success of this novelist.” — Le Monde

SUMMARY:Nix Mann Endowed Lecture
DESCRIPTION:What is ‘classical art’? Why is it that some ancient Greek and Roman artifacts\, but only some Greek and Roman artifacts\, got to move across cultures and time\, assuming a ‘classical’ status and dictating culture as they go? \nIn this year’s Nix Mann Endowed Lecture titled “The Shifting Shape of Classical Art” Caroline Vout\, professor of Classics and director of the Museum of Classical Archaeology at the University of Cambridge\, examines how different periods have reinvented what classical art is through digging\, dealing\, drawing. It ends by asking whether classical art has a future.\nIn 1992 the architectural firm of Nix Mann & Associates (now Perkins + Will) endowed this lecture to bring distinguished speakers to campus on an annual basis. \nDr. Vout’s latest book\, Classical Art: A Life History from Antiquity to the Present\, is available in the Carlos Museum Bookshop and will be available at the lecture as well.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Rumi Comes to America (Lecture/Book Signing)
DESCRIPTION:In 1976\, few people had heard of Jelaluddin Rumi. Yet\, in a stellar leap\, few could have predicted\, this 13th-century Islamic theologian would soon become America’s best-selling poet. From the author’s first-hand storytelling\, Rumi Comes to America describes the generational yearning\, fortuitous events\, spiritual mishaps\, and everyday miracles that propelled Rumi’s ancient mystical tradition to take root in America. \nThe story focuses on a group of young seekers\, inspired by author Reshad Feild’s spiritual journey to Turkey\, who invite Süleyman Loras Dede\, a simple cook and a mostly-unrecognized sheikh of the Whirling Dervishes in Konya\, Turkey to their modest duplex in Los Angeles. \nSüleyman Dede was eighteen years old when he entered the dervish monastery in Konya\, Turkey. But shortly after\, in 1926\, all dervish activities\, including the path of Rumi\, were banned by Kemal Atatürk\, in his quest to create a secular\, modern Turkey. \nWith dervish life underground\, Dede’s spiritual mastery would go mostly unnoticed in Turkey for decades it took until he set foot in Los Angeles on his culminating mission at the end of his life – to plant the seed for Rumi to blossom in America. \nAbout Bruce Miller \nAfter studying filmmaking and screenwriting at UCLA\, Bruce Miller spent the bulk of his career as a brand strategist\, media producer\, and marketing partner in an Atlanta brand agency. When he was a young man\, in the 1970s\, Bruce’s spiritual search led him to English author\, performer\, and teacher\, Reshad Feild. Together\, they started The Institute for Conscious Life\, the Mevlana Foundation\, and later\, the Chalice Guild. With Reshad\, Bruce helped bring the work of Jalaluddin Rumi to America\, the story recounted in “Rumi Comes to America. \nBruce has led residential seminars on the knowledge of the Octave\, ideas brought forth by P.D. Ouspensky and G.I. Gurdjieff\, and the Law of Hazard\, an understanding of risk and uncertainty based on the work of J.G. Bennett. Bruce’s first book\, “FORTUNE\, Our Deep Dive into the Mysteries of Love\, Healing\, and Success\,” explored the karmic mystery of why stuff happens ­– a book he wrote while his wife\, Karen was navigating a life-threatening illness. Bruce is currently finishing his third book\, BRAND STORY: How to Launch your Shoestring Startup like a National Brand.” Bruce is an active sailor\, yoga enthusiast\, and teaches the turn of the Whirling Dervishes. His wife\, Karen is an ordained minister and chaplain educator.

SUMMARY:Carlos Reads Palace of Illusions
DESCRIPTION:In Palace of Illusions\, award-winning author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni recasts the Mahabharata through the eyes of Panchaali (Draupadi)\, the fire-born heroine of the great epic. Married to five royal husbands\, brothers who have been cheated out of their father’s kingdom\, Panchaali aids their quest to reclaim their birthright\, remaining at their side through years of exile and a terrible civil war. \nOver two evenings\, February 24 and March 2\, Professor Joyce Flueckiger of Emory’s Department of Religion leads readers through this feminist retelling of the story\, which is epic in scale and yet deeply human—the story of a woman\, her marriage\, her mother-in-law\, and her relationship with god. \n“Complex\, beautifully wrought… Divakaruni’s feminist reading of Indian lore offers readers a magical lens into the political interplay of gender\, castes\, birthright and life in the monarchy.” —Rocky Mountain News \nFee: $40 for Carlos Museum members; $60 for nonmembers\, and includes the cost of the book. Space is limited\, and registration is required by calling 404-727-6118.

SUMMARY:Images in the Margins: Renaissance Readers Draw the Meanings of their Texts
DESCRIPTION:Anthony Grafton considers the meaning and relevance of margin notes found in Renaissance texts. In this period\, educated readers went through their texts pen in hand. They underlining passages\, adding references to names and short summaries in the margins\, and interpreting or responding to the text. Most marginalia were verbal. But scholars from Petrarch in the fourteenth century to John Dee in the sixteenth also made drawings of many kinds in the margins of their books. This lecture presents some of their work and argues that it often—though not always—had an interpretative purpose. \nRecommended parking: \nFishburne Parking Deck\, Oxford Road Parking Deck

In his sprawling new novel\, we of the forsaken world\, author Kiran Bhat has turned the fact of that once-unimaginable connectivity into a metaphor for life itself. \nIn we of the forsaken world…\, Bhat follows the fortunes of 16 people who live in four distinct places on the planet. The gripping stories include those of a man’s journey to the birthplace of his mother\, a tourist town destroyed by an industrial spill; a chief’s second son born in a nameless remote tribe\, creating a scramble for succession as their jungles are destroyed by loggers; a homeless\, one-armed woman living in a sprawling metropolis who sets out to take revenge on the men who trafficked her; and a milkmaid in a small village of shanty shacks connected only by a mud and concrete road who watches the girls she calls friends destroy her reputation. \nLike modern communication networks\, the stories in we of the forsaken world connect along subtle lines\, dispersing at the moments where another story is about to take place. Each story is a parable unto itself\, but the tales also expand to engulf the lives of everyone who lives on planet Earth\, at every second\, everywhere. \nKiran Bhat is the author of the poetry collections Autobiografia (Letrame Editorial\, 2019) and Kiran Speaks (White Elephant Press\, 2019)\, as well as the Kannada-language travelogue Tirugaatha (Chiranthana Media Solutions\, 2019) and the novel We of the Forsaken World (Iguana Books\, 2019). He has traveled to over 130 countries\, lived in 18 different places\, and speaks 12 languages. He considers Mumbai his spiritual base\, but currently lives in Melbourne. \nArchith Seshadri is a global journalist based in Atlanta\, Georgia. He is the Atlanta Bureau Chief for Nexstar Media Group serving 4 stations that represent 45 counties in Georgia (WJBF\, WSAV\, WRBL and WSPA). Archith has also written and produced pieces for CNN\, HLN\, CNN International\, Atlanta Journal Constitution and Khabar Magazine. He thrives on breaking news\, live reporting\, social media engagement and entertainment stories. Archith has covered the Ebola outbreak from Atlanta\, National Police Week from Washington D.C.\, the US 2016 election coverage from New York\, the historic Trump-Modi meeting from the White House\, and field anchored from across India.

SUMMARY:Emory University: Annual Turkish Lecture Series With Author Elif Batuman
DESCRIPTION:The Halle Institute for Global Research invites you to attend a lecture by Elif Batuman\, author of critically acclaimed books such as The Idiot and The Possessed which explore her identity as a Turkish-American woman\, intentionality about the precision of language\, and befuddlement in the early age of email. \n\n\n\nIn her first book\, The Possessed\, Elif Batuman wrote about her experiences studying Russian literature as a PhD student in America\, Russia\, and Uzbekistan. She did not initially think of her attraction to Russian literature – which is also manifested by the title of her first novel\, The Idiot – as being related to her Turkish family background\, or to her experiences in Turkey as a child. \nAfter The Possessed came out in 2010\, she moved to Istanbul\, where she worked at Koç University and wrote for the New Yorker magazine. She lived in and visited Istanbul regularly between 2009 and 2015. During that time\, she saw the beginning of the Syrian Civil War\, the opening of the Museum of Innocence\, the full run of The Magnificent Century\, the Gezi protests\, HDP parliamentary success in 2015\, and the Suruç bombing. Witnessing such a politically vital and complicated period of history\, experiencing the tensions of national identity more closely\, and coming to understand\, as an adult\, the country that shaped her parents\, prompted Elif to rethink her attraction to Russian novels and her understanding of Turkish history. Through the lens of current events\, she came to discover that works of Dostoevsky are more closely related to the ideology of Atatürk than she originally realized. \nThis event includes a seated luncheon. Please RSVP by Thursday\, January 23\, to reserve a seat

SUMMARY:Carlos Reads Dothead
DESCRIPTION:US Poet Laureate Billy Collins describes Amit Majmudar’s work as “nothing less than a torrent of poetic inventiveness driven by the inexhaustible poetic energy.” In Dothead\, nuclear radiologist\, novelist\, and former poet laureate of Ohio\, Amit Majmudar asserts claims of both the self and the other. The title poem shows us the place of an Indian American teenager in the bland surround of a mostly white peer group\, partaking of imagery from the poet’s Hindu tradition; the very next poem is a fanciful autobiography\, relying for its imagery on the religious tradition of Islam. \nProfessor Deepika Bahri of Emory’s Department of English leads readers through a selection of poems from this volume\, which “juxtaposes the serious and the grave\, the base and the transcendent\, and those acts of gentleness and brutality that define us.” \nFee: $25 for Carlos Museum members; $40 for nonmembers\, and includes the cost of the book. Space is limited\, and registration is required by calling 404-727-6118.

SUMMARY:China's Great Gamble: Can the Chinese Government Create a Technological Superpower?
DESCRIPTION:Join for the China Research Center’s Annual Lecture by Dr. Barry Naughton on January 24th. \nChina’s Great Gamble: Can the Chinese Government Create a Technological Superpower? \nIn its effort to maintain high-speed growth\, China has stepped up government steerage and investment in high-tech industry. Increasingly\, this has meant gambling on a new wave of untested technologies: artificial intelligence\, 5G broadband communication\, autonomous vehicles and smart robotics. This expensive and risky strategy has aggravated conflict with the United States\, and given China an enormous opportunity to fail. However\, if it succeeds\, China will emerge as a new kind of power\, showing off its new model as an alternative to American capitalism. \nBIO: Barry Naughton is the So Kwanlok Professor at the School of Global Policy and Strategy\, University of California\, San Diego. Naughton’s work on the Chinese economy focuses on market transition; industry and technology; foreign trade; and political economy. His first book\, Growing Out of the Plan\, won the Ohira Prize in 1996\, and a new edition of his popular survey and textbook\, The Chinese Economy: Adaptation and Growth\, appeared in 2018. \nThis Event is Free and Open to the Public.
