- Feb 123:30 PMFilm: "Argentina, 1985"Please join us for a panel discussion about the movie on Tuesday, February 14, at 12:30 p.m. This movie depicts the transitional justice process that took place in Argentina after the military dictatorship. More than 30,000 Argentines were estimated to have disappeared between 1976 and 1983, and some 3,000 officials and non-officials have been charged with crimes as of 2018. The film provides a dramatic depiction of the groundbreaking transitional justice trial, a process that has set precedents for human rights litigation, created awareness around the limits of state power, and influenced peace-building mechanisms after human atrocities. “Nunca mas” (“Never again”) has shaped the historical memory of older and younger Argentines, and material reparations are available still today, as the country continues to recuperate from the legacy of state violence.Cosponsored with the Department of Romance Languages & Literatures and the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies.Originally published at https://kellogg.nd.edu/film-argentina-1985 Originally published at cslc.nd.edu.

- Feb 132:30 PM"Crossing the Color Line": A Film Screening with Director Sabrina OnanaWhat does it mean to grow up in Italy today as an Afro-descendant child of immigrants? Sabrina Onana, born in Paris and raised in Naples, is a 24-year-old sociologist, independent film director and photographer. In her documentary, Crossing the Color Line, Sabrina gives us an opportunity to discover a new Italy often unrecognized on screens and by institutions. Crossing the Color Line will guide us through the lives and stories of young Afro-descendants who tell us what it means to be Italian today. For years in Italy, many activists have been aiming to "change the narrative" and Crossing the Color Line carries out this imperative: Italian Afro-descendants speak out about their roots, language, identity with a deep awareness of their dual belonging intended not as a double absence but as a new way of addressing “Italianity.” Join us in the screening of this unique documentary followed by a conversation with Sabrina as she shares how she navigates language, culture and identity as an Afro-Italian and her experience of dual-belonging as a child of immigrants. Sponsored by the Italian Program in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures. Originally published at cslc.nd.edu.
- Feb 144:00 PMBook Launch: "Counseling Women: Kinship against Violence in India"Join the Keough School of Global Affairs and its cosponsors for the launch of Professor Julia Kowalski's new book, Counseling Women: Kinship against Violence in India (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2022). Kowalski will discuss her book with Sarah Lamb of Brandeis University and Michele Friedner of the University of Chicago. Lakshmi Iyer, associate professor of economics and global affairs at the University of Notre Dame, will moderate. Counseling Women follows family counselors in India as they support women who have experienced violence at home in the context of complex shifting legal and familial systems. Drawing on ethnographic research at counseling centers in Jaipur, Rajasthan, Kowalski shows how an individualistic notion of women’s rights places already vulnerable women into even more precarious positions by ignoring the reality of the social relations that shape lives within and beyond the family. Rather than focusing on attaining independence from kin, family counselors in India instead strive to help women cultivate relationships of interdependence in order to reimagine family life in the wake of violence. Counselors mobilize the beliefs, concepts, and frameworks of kinship to offer women interactive strategies to gain agency within the family, including multigenerational kin networks encompassing parents, in-laws, and other extended family. Through this work, kinship becomes a resource through which people imagine and act on new familial futures. In viewing this reliance on kinship as part of, rather than a deviation from, global women’s rights projects, Counseling Women reassesses Western liberal feminism’s notions of what it means to have agency and what constitutes violence, and retheorizes the role of interdependence in gendered violence and inequality as not only a site of vulnerability but a potential source of strength. The launch will be followed by a reception in 1050 Jenkins Nanovic Halls. Both the events are free and open to the public.

- Feb 233:30 PMLecture — “The Noise Makes the Town: Urban Chaos, Digital Interference, and the Current State of Visuality”Visuality in the 21st century — especially as promoted by digital content providers and planners of the smart city — relies on unhindered, smooth, and seamless communication. Yet both urban life and new media depend also onYomi Braesterhaphazard, intrusive, blemishing signals. The talk examines recent multimedia art from the People’s Republic of China, which mounts a cultural criticism of mediated space, challenging notions of the digital city based on virtual reality and augmented reality. Urban spaces are imagined instead as photomontage, and traversing the city is seen as reliant on the digital noise produced by the city.About the Speaker Yomi Braester is the Byron W. and Alice L. Lockwood Professor in the Humanities at the University of Washington. His research focuses on literary and visual practices, with emphasis on modern China and Taiwan — in architecture, advertisement, screen media, and stage arts. Originally published at asia.nd.edu.
- Feb 235:00 PM2023 Mathews Byzantine Lecture: "Writing Byzantine History with the Archives of Mount Athos: The Odds and Perils of Uneven Sources"The Mathews Lectures bring a distinguished scholar of Byzantine studies to campus each year to deliver a talk, supported by the Rev. Constantine Mathews Endowment for Excellence in Byzantine Christianity in the Medieval Institute. Vasilios Mathews and Nikiforos Mathews established the endowment to honor their father, the Reverend Constantine Mathews, who earned a Masters Degree in Liturgical Studies at Notre Dame in 1977. During a half-century of dedicated ministry, Father Mathews served as presiding parish priest at St. Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Church in South Bend, followed by the Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation in Stamford, Connecticut. "A historian at work on monastic documents: Gabriel Millet, Rossikon, Mount Athos, ca 1920" © Photothèque Gabriel Millet EPHE-PSLAbout the TalkByzantine documents preserved in the archives of the monasteries of Mount Athos in Greece are by far the most extensive and valuable body of documentation from the Byzantine Empire. They represent about half of the entire collection of archival documents that have survived, span more than five centuries (10th–15th c.), and cover large areas of Macedonia and Thrace as well as some North-Aegean islands. Moreover, these documents are often our only source of information about rural and urban society, agrarian economy, demography, provincial administration, among other subjects. Their prevalence should be a matter of concern since monasteries–although common in Byzantium–are very specific by nature. This presentation will assess the current research on the documentation of Mount Athos and ask the following question: is monastic history– economic, social, administrative–representative of the Empire? How can we guess what is missing, based on these monastic archives?About the SpeakerOlivier Delouis is a researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and a former member of the French School of Archaeology of Athens, Greece. In Oxford, he is currently a Research Fellow at the Maison française d’Oxford (CNRS) and a Visiting Fellow in Byzantine Studies at Campion Hall. From 2013 to 2021, he directed the Revue des études byzantines (Peeters Publishers). His current research includes the edition of the Great Catecheseis of Theodore the Stoudite, the edition of two volumes of Mount Athos archives collection (monastery of Chilandar), and the publication of the scientific correspondence of Athanasios Papadopoulos-Kerameus (1856–1912). Among his recent publications are three collective volumes on Monastic Mobility (Rome, 2019), Monastic Daily Life, 4th–10th c. (Cairo-Athens, 2019), and Athos Monastic Archives and their Reception (Paris, 2019), as well as various articles on Theodore the Stoudite.Originally published at medieval.nd.edu.
- Feb 257:30 PMPerformance: Kendrick Oliver and The New Life Jazz OrchestraTubist Kendrick Oliver's band, featuring the octave-leaping tenor of vocalist Monica Anderson, unveils the stunning treasures of William James Basie Jr. — Count Basie — and the Kansas City Sound. Oliver modeled his band like Basie's (rhythm guitar!), but it's far from a retro tribute band. Instead, carefully balanced solos and shimmering section passages combine for a timely resurrection of Basie's timeless music. Inventive, fresh arrangements blending gospel and brass band references signify the cohesive intensity of the big band swing era Basie, the Jersey-to-Kansas City transplant, was a key architect. "The Comeback," where Anderson's vocals fan the flames, and "Jumping at the Woodside" are among Basie's slew of hits ready to command your attention. GET TICKETS
