    Goitse

    Come celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the award-winning Celtic quintet Goitse (a Gaelic word for “come here,” pronounced “Go-wit-cha”). Named Live Ireland’s “Traditional Group of the Year” and Chicago Irish American News’ “Group of the Year,” Goitse is leading the new generation of traditional Irish ensembles. Their distinctive sound lies in the quality of their original compositions, interspersed with age-old traditional tunes, making each performance unique.

    Living with Genji: The "World's First Novel" in 21st Century Japan

    Davis Family Library, Upper Level Display Cases

    The students in JAPN 290 (“Reading the Tale of Genji” in English”) and Prof. Otilia Milutin (Japanese Studies) are cordially inviting you and your students to view their exhibit, “Living with Genji: The World’s First Novel in 21st Century Japan.” The exhibit features a selection of objects, artwork, movies, and manga inspired by the 11th century classic The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu.  Our exhibit aims to showcase a few selected items that speak both of the tale’s enduring legacy in traditional Japanese arts, and, equally important, of its contemporary reiterations, be they manga and movies adaptations or commercial, consumer-oriented products such as mascots, stationary, fabrics, and other everyday objects.  Through our exhibit, we hope to demonstrate how a millennium old classic lives and thrives today in contemporary Japan.

  • She Who Knows: Resistance to Gendered Racialization in Early-19th-Century Ottoman Tunis and Present-day Reverberations

    This lecture turns to the Ottoman province of Tunis, a terminus for trans-Saharan human trafficking in the late 18th and early 19th century, to center the lives of enslaved women forcibly conveyed to the province. It examines how the violence of slavery intersected with French economic intervention in the region as well as with emerging racial ideologies held by Tunisian and western African elites. This lecture critiques disembodied historical perspectives conventionally preserved in state archives, like those of the chief doctor to the Ottoman governor of Tunis.
