SUMMARY:The Jazz Singer: From the Melting Pot to a Multicultural America
DESCRIPTION:Ever since it premiered in 1927\, The Jazz Singer has been considered the paradigmatic film about the Americanization of the children of Jewish immigrants. The movie has inspired remakes and retakes on the theme of the son’s rebellion against his father’s traditions. This lecture examines how and why subsequent versions altered the original plotline and message to reflect the values of target audiences and the changing configurations of national\, racial\, and religious identity in the United States from the 1920s until the present.\nLawrence Baron has held the Nasatir Chair of Modern Jewish History at San Diego State University since 1988 and directed its Jewish Studies Program until 2006. He has authored and edited four books including The Modern Jewish Experience in World Cinema (2011) and Projecting the Holocaust into the Present: The Changing Focus of Contemporary Holocaust Cinema (2005). He served as the historian and as an interviewer for Sam and Pearl Oliner’s The Altruistic Personality: Rescuers of Jews in Nazi Europe.  In 2006 he delivered the keynote address for Yad Vashem’s first conference devoted to Hollywood and the Holocaust.  His contribution to Holocaust Studies was recently profiled in Fifty Key Thinkers on the Holocaust and Genocide (2010).  \nThe Herman P. and Sophia Taubman Foundation Endowed Symposia in Jewish Studies at UC Santa Barbara\, a program of the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, is cosponsored by UCSB Arts and Lectures\, Department of Religious Studies\, Congregation B’nai B’rith\, Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara\, and Santa Barbara Hillel. This event is also cosponsored by the Carsey-Wolf Center at UCSB.  \nhm 4/2/12

SUMMARY:The Great King and the Sea: Maritime Trade and Naval Power in the Achaemenid Empire
DESCRIPTION:At the beginning of the fifth century BCE\, Achaemenid Persia had the largest navy in the world\, but after its failed invasions of Greece\, the empire limited its warships’ numbers and refused to maintain a standing fleet.  While Classical Athens viewed naval power as a catalyst for maritime trade and the acquisition of wealth\, the Persians found that excessive naval development strained their financial structures and interfered with their coastal subjects’ trade income.  This lecture will explore the conflict between naval and economic interests in one of the ancient world’s first great empires.\nJohn Hyland is Associate Professor of History at Christopher Newport University (Newport News\, VA). \nThis event is sponsored by the the Ancient Mediterranean Studies program and the Ancient Borderlands Research Focus Group. \njwil 02.iii.2012
