A stunning tribute to the resilience of Native people and their way of life, Sugarcane, the debut and Oscar-nominated feature documentary from Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie, is an epic cinematic portrait of a community during a moment of international reckoning. In 2021, evidence of unmarked graves was discovered on the grounds of an Indian residential school run by the Catholic Church in Canada. After years of silence, the forced separation, assimilation and abuse many children experienced at these segregated boarding schools was brought to light, sparking a national outcry against a system designed to destroy Indigenous communities. Set amidst a groundbreaking investigation, Sugarcane illuminates the beauty of a community breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma and finding the strength to persevere. GET TICKETS  

Directed by the Iranian-Danish Ali Abbasi (Border, Holy Spider), The Apprentice pulls from Donald Trump's famed reality TV show for its title but also has its focus on Trump's personal apprenticeship and formation as he rises alongside the gentrification of New York City. Netting multiple Oscar nominations this year, the film follows a young Trump (Sebastian Stan), eager to make his name as a hungry second son of a wealthy family in 1970s New York, who comes under the spell of Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong), the cutthroat attorney who would shape how Trump engaged business, government, and society. Cohn sees in Trump the perfect protégé: someone with raw ambition, a hunger for success, and a laser focus on winning.   GET TICKETS

As Ali Abbasi's The Apprentice focuses on wealth and its exponential growth in 1970s and 1980s Manhattan, a natural double feature would be a film that is set when The Apprentice ends. We're going with American Psycho and its skewering of late-1980s Wall Street culture. A rich Wall Street player (Christian Bale) basks in his yuppie lifestyle, but behind his slick appearance and Huey Lewis banality lurks a monster with murderous intentions. Mary Harron directed the adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's controversial novel, and this version includes scenes cut from the original release.   GET TICKETS

To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the death of University President Emeritus Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., a Mass at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart will be celebrated in his memory. President Emeritus Rev. Edward “Monk” Malloy, C.S.C., who succeeded Father Hesburgh as Notre Dame’s 16th president, will preside over the service and preach at the Mass. All are welcome to attend to honor Father Hesburgh’s legacy. The Mass will also be livestreamed. Father Hesburgh served as president of the University of Notre Dame for 35 years, from 1952 to 1987, and was one of the nation’s most influential figures in higher education, the Catholic Church, and national and international affairs. He served under four popes and held 16 presidential appointments. “With his leadership, charisma, and vision, he turned a relatively small Catholic college known for football into one of the nation’s great institutions for higher learning,” University President Emeritus Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., said of Father Hesburgh shortly after his passing. “In his historic service to the nation, the Church, and the world, he was a steadfast champion for human rights, the cause of peace, and care for the poor. “Perhaps his greatest influence, though, was on the lives of generations of Notre Dame students, whom he taught, counseled, and befriended.” During his tenure, the University’s annual operating budget grew from $9.7 million to $176.6 million, the endowment from $9 million to $350 million, and research funding from $735,000 to $15 million. Enrollment increased from 4,979 to 9,600, faculty from 389 to 950, and degrees awarded annually from 1,212 to 2,500. He also oversaw the transference of governance in 1967 from the Congregation of Holy Cross to a two-tiered, mixed board of lay and religious Trustees and Fellows, as well as the admission of women to the undergraduate program in 1972. Father Hesburgh was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom—the highest honor an American civilian can receive—as well as the Congressional Gold Medal and 150 honorary degrees. He died on February 26, 2015, at the age of 97. A memorial tribute at the Purcell Pavilion in March 2015 featured numerous Church leaders, statesmen, Notre Dame leaders, and leaders in the world of higher education. In 2017, Father Hesburgh was honored by the US Postal Service with a commemorative Forever stamp.  

What does Catholic "just war" theory teach about the conflict in Israel-Palestine? Do concepts in Catholic social teaching, such as "integral human development" or the "preferential option for the poor," provide any guidance?  In what ways might the Church's historic relationship with the Jewish people or the Pope's statements on war and peace in the Holy Land influence Catholic perspectives? Join us for a wide-ranging conversation about the events of October 7, 2023, the subsequent war, the tenuous ceasefire, the history of the region, and its future.

In this talk, Cheryl Lawther, professor at Notre Dame’s School of Law and a fellow of the Senator George J. Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice at Queen’s University Belfast, will draw on her recently published book, Constructing Victimhood: Beyond Innocence and Guilt in Transitional Justice (Oxford University Press, 2024), to expand the criminological, victimological, and transitional justice image of who we “see” as victims, what we “hear” as experiences of victimization, and who makes these determinations. In her talk, Lawther will argue that if transitional justice is to live up to its claims of being “victim-centered,” it is essential to widen its conceptual and practical boundaries to recognize the multiple and overlapping variables that construct and reproduce victimhood. Lawther will be joined by Josefina Echavarría Álvarez, professor of the practice and director of the Peace Accords Matrix, Joachim Ozonze (PhD candidate in Peace Studies and Theology) and Emma Murphy (Post-Doctoral researcher, Kroc Institute & Keough-Naughton Institute).

The Center for Italian Studies is pleased to host a lecture by Professor Silvana Patriarca (Fordham University) titled:"Anticolonialism(s) as antiracism(s)?" Italian Radicals Facing 'Race' and the Colonial Question at the Turn of the Twentieth Century In the late 19th and early 20th centuries Italians fully participated in the racialization of the African populations that they and other Europeans colonized. At the same time, Italians themselves were often racialized by other Europeans (including Americans) and engaged in the racialization of southern Italians. In this context, some anthropologists and sociologists of leftist orientation such as Napoleone Colajanni questioned the idea of “pure races” and the racial hierarchies that placed Nordic peoples (including northern Italians) above southern Europeans. A number of leftist and radical thinkers and politicians — radical democrats, socialists, and anarchists — also rejected colonialism and especially the consequences that colonial wars had for the inhabitants of a country like Italy that was still poor and underdeveloped. Some anarchist geographers even claimed a right to so-called “barbarity.” To what extent did the critique of colonialism (including the internal variety) lead to an explicit rejection of anti-Black racism? Were anticolonial thinkers able to express sympathy and solidarity with the colonized people victimized by European aggressions? Analyzing the works of the thinkers and the leftist press of that period, this lecture will address these questions as part of a larger project on the history of antiracist beliefs and sensibilities in modern Italian culture. Silvana Patriarca received her laurea at the University of Turin and her Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. She has taught at Columbia University and the University of Florida, and is currently a professor in the Department of History of Fordham University. She specializes in the history of modern Italy and her research has ranged from the social history of industrialization to the intellectual and political history of statistics to the cultural history of nationalism and the construction of national identities in their intersection with gender and “race.” The author of the award-winning Numbers and Nationhood: Writing Statistics in Nineteenth-Century Italy (Cambridge University Press) and of Italian Vices: Nation and Character from the Risorgimento to the Republic (Cambridge University Press), she has co-edited (with Lucy Riall) The Risorgimento Revisited: Nationalism and Culture in Nineteenth-Century Italy (Palgrave Macmillan). She has held fellowships at the National Humanities Center (North Carolina) and at the Collegio Carlo Alberto in Turin, and visiting appointments at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Science Sociales and at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes (Sorbonne) in Paris. Her most recent book, Race in Post-Fascist Italy: "War Children" and the Color of the Nation (2022), focuses on the experiences and representations of the "brown babies" born at the end of World War Two from the encounters between Black Allied soldiers and Italian women, and explores the persistence of racial thinking and racism in post-fascist and postcolonial Italy. This lecture is co-sponsored by the Notre Dame Initiative on Race and Resilience and the Nanovic Institute for European Studies.The Italian Research Seminar, a core event of the Center for Italian Studies, aims to provide a regular forum for faculty, postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, and colleagues from other universities to present and discuss their current research. The seminar is vigorously interdisciplinary, and embraces all areas of Italian literature, language, and culture, as well as perceptions of Italy, its achievements and its peoples in other national and international cultures. The seminar constitutes an important element in the effort by Notre Dame's Center for Italian Studies to promote the study of Italy and to serve as a strategic point of contact for scholarly exchange.Originally published at italianstudies.nd.edu.
