SUMMARY:Conspiracy: The 1942 Wannsee Conference
DESCRIPTION:On January 20\, 1942\, 15 high ranking German officers gathered in a villa on the outskirts of Berlin for a clandestine meeting that would ultimately seal the fate of the European Jewish population. Ninety minutes later\, the blueprint for Hitler’s Final Solution was in place. The Wannsee Protocol\, found in the files of the Reich’s Foreign Office\, is the only document where the details of Hitler’s maniacal plan were actually codified\, and serves as the basis for this intriguing film. Starring Kenneth Branagh\, Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci. (2001\, 112 min.)\nDirector Frank Pierson\, former president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences\, will introduce the film and answer audience questions following the screening. Pierson’s long list of distinguished credits includes co-authoring the screenplays for the Academy Award-nominated film Cool Hand Luke and the Academy Award-winning film Dog Day Afternoon; as well as directing the rock music film A Star is Born.  \nAfterwards Pierson will discuss the film with Profs.

SUMMARY:Writing History and Lyric in Trilingual England
DESCRIPTION:Ralph Hanna\, Professor of Paleography and Fellow of Keble College\, Oxford University “The Matter of Fulk: Romance and History in Fourteenth-Century Shropshire” \nFouke le Fitz Waryn\, an Anglo-Norman prose text of c. 1325-30\, is the only surviving full rendition of a narrative retold at least three times\, in English and French\, during the period c.1260-c.1400.  Most of the text is devoted to Fulk III’s quite historical revolt against King John in 1201-3.  But the text has always appeared problematic\, since the tale of Fulk’s disobedience has acquired a patina of ‘romance’ materials very far from plausible\, let alone historical.  The lecture examines aspects of this presentation\, far from limited to this text but ubiquitous in insular historical writing and romance. \nSeth Lerer\, Avalon Foundation Professor in Humanities\, Stanford University\n“The English Lyric in a Trilingual World” \nThrough looking at the lyrics of the famous Harley MS collection\, the paper explores the ways in which English\, French\, and Latin interact to challenge our modern notions of vernacularity and our historical sense of the vernacular short poem. The paper argues that the study of the English lyric has gone on in a radically de-historicized manner\, as we encounter them in anthologies and collections that efface the original manuscript contexts of the works. Restoring these poems to their original contexts helps us understand how English\, French\, and Latin constituted strata\, in effect\, of vernacular expression in lyric forms. It also helps us understand the ways in which these poems may be less the personal articulations of an emotive voice and more the literate performances or ventriloquisms of learned tropes and conventions. Finally\, the paper realigns the study of the medieval lyric away from the formalist appreciations of the Dronke tradition and towards a method that stresses distinctive histories of language\, manuscript production and reception\, and genre. \nFor more information\, contact Carol Pasternack. \nSponsored by Medieval Studies\, the Department of History\, and the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center.
