Despite his self-confessed unmusicality, Kafka's associations with sound, noise, and music have become the subject of recent scholarship. In addition to these sonic affiliations, Kafka’s voice continues to echo through art and literature, philosophy and psychology, theory and politics. The conference seeks not only to explore the sonic symptoms of modernity resonating in Kafka’s oeuvre, but to make audible echoes of the Kafkaesque that continue to reverberate throughout global culture, both high and low.There will be two panels of papers, and a keynote address given by Kata Gellen, associate professor of German studies and Jewish studies at Duke University.   This mini-conference is free and open to the public.  Originally published at music.nd.edu.

The public screening will include intermission performances of the songs that inspired the documentary. Followed by a panel discussion, with the documentarian and several of the individuals in it about the Southeast side of Chicago, their stories, and the documentary itself.   Originally published at latinostudies.nd.edu.

Largely considered by historians to be one of the most accurate filmic accounts of the sinking of the Titanic, A Night to Remember was based on the famed book of the same name by Walter Lord. Similar to Titanic (1997), the money required to film an ocean disaster epic was sizable; A Night to Remember was the most expensive film made in Britain at its time. That money went to a team of technical advisers who used primary sources to create heightened realism through authentic sets. Beyond the technical achievements, A Night to Remember has a novel approach in telling the story largely through the lens of Charles Lightoller (Kenneth More), who served as the second officer on the RMS Titanic.  GET TICKETS
