On Monday, François Hollande became the first French Socialist candidate elected president since 1981. He campaigned for higher government spending and taxation. Does this signal a new economic approach to Europe’s financial problems? What might happen to austerity? And what is the Socialist economic approach? Dr. Alberta Sbragia, University of Pittsburgh Vice Provost and former Director of the European Studies Center and the European Union Center of Excellence addresses these questions, and talks about the future of the EU.

From medieval pogroms to modern racial science, Jewish history in Europe has come to stand as a test case for thinking about problems of historical continuity and change, embodied most clearly in the tension between narratives emphasizing a timeless antisemitism and arguments for the distinctive mentalities associated with discrete historical periods. Our colloquium, “The Holocaust and the Middle Ages,” seeks to reexamine Jewish history as a multi-layered problem of narrative and conceptualization, in which deeply interested anti-Jewish narratives from the premodern world form points of explosive contact with modern literary and historical modes of analysis. Part of our work is to examine how later historical lenses, such as the interests of post-Reformation history and the consuming project of Holocaust history, have substantially dictated the terms of modern understanding of Jewish-Christian relations, often with distorting effects. At the same time, medieval paradigms of religious conflict continue to operate as the unacknowledged foundations for contemporary efforts to think about problems of political conflict rooted in religious difference.

Our objective is to bring together a small group of scholars and encourage significant interdisciplinary dialogue between medievalists and specialists in later fields, including particularly Reformation history and Holocaust studies. In doing so, we hope to move beyond generalities about the evolution of Western patterns of religious conflict to gain critical purchase on the ways in which our narratives for thinking about these problems are deeply imbricated in the assumptions, needs, and theories at work within discrete moments of historical thought.

Screening of THE QUEEN will be introduced by Director, Stephen Frears. Q&A session with Colin MacCabe.

Known for making provocative, stylized, and tightly budgeted films about people living on society's social and/or sexual fringes,
British director Stephen Frears is renowned as one of his country's most vibrant and recognizable filmmakers. Regarding his
tendency to make films that branch into unfamiliar territory, Frears has said that he likes "making films about different cultures...I'm interested in things that I've never encountered before. I try to put myself in the audience's position." Born in Leicester, Frears studied law at Cambridge University before turning to the arts. He became involved with London's Royal Court Theatre, where he served as an assistant to director Lindsay Anderson and to actor Albert Finney. He started his career in the film industry as an assistant director to Karel Reisz, with whom he worked from 1966 until 1972.

Scripted by Peter Morgan, 2006's THE QUEEN took a comic-yet-sympathetic look at the P.R. nightmare that
ensued after Princess Diana's death in 1997. Bolstered by Helen Mirren's universally acclaimed work as Queen
Elizabeth II, the film enjoyed a healthy arthouse run through awards season, when Frears found himself the recipient
of countless Best Director nominations from critics' organizations, as well as the Golden Globe Awards.

Next Wednesday (April 11), the Society and Honors College will proudly play host to a prominent intellectual historian of our generation: J.G.A. Pocock, author of Ancient Constitution and the Feudal Law, Machiavellian Moment, and a multi-volume work on Edward Gibbon. An emeritus professor at Johns Hopkins, Pocock is noted for developing a novel approach to the study of history often referred to as the Cambridge School of intellectual history. His work encompasses a broad range of intellectual endeavors, including not only history, but also political science, philosophy, and literature. Professor Pocock will lecture at 602 Cathedral of Learning at 4:00 PM, and we'd love for you to come along and help Pitt show its support for history as an intellectual exercise.

Matt Zwick, a student at the Law School, and local attorney David Rosenberg will present a paper they co-authored, entitled "Legal Professional Privilege: Comparing Different Approaches Within the United States and the European Union."

The 2012 Jean Monnet Symposium hosted by the European Union Center of Excellence and European Studies Center at the University of Pittsburgh will bring together historians and political scientists to discuss empires old and new. Its goal is to advance the current discussion of how to define empire, look at how empires have defined themselves in the past, and build upon our understanding of historical empires to refine new categories of analysis applicable to the European Union of the present. Featured presenters include Patrick Manning and Daniel Bisbee, Martha Chaiklin, and Peter Karsten from the Department of History at the University of Pittsburgh; along with Magali Gravier (Copenhagen Business School), Josep Colomer (George Washington University), and Joshua W. Walker (German Marshall Fund).

Katie Trumpener, Emily Sanford Professor of Comparative Literature and English and director of graduate studies in comparative literature at Yale University

This graduate seminar is in English and open to all graduate students.

Katie Trumpener is one of the most innovative scholars in the field of comparative cultural studies. Her research spans the modern period (the late 18th century to the present) and explores a broad range of topics, from the history of the British and European novel to Anglophone fiction (especially from Scotland, Ireland, and Canada); from European film history to visual culture and music; nationalism, regionalism, and traditionalism; literature and culture of World War I, World War II, and the Cold War; the history of children’s literature (18th century to the present); and female novelists.

A group of this year's LL.M. students will discuss past struggles and future challenges related to the rule of law in their home countries. The second of two lectures, this event will feature discussions by Ivan Milosevic (Serbia), Cristian Minor (Mexico), Kustrim Tolaj (Kosovo), and Abeer Hashayka, Wael Lafee, and Mais Qandeel (Palestine).

The gap between the art and the science involved in producing Early Modern bird’s-eye views has long puzzled historians. On a visual level, city views were posited as being oriented toward a single perspective while simultaneously opening up vast, impossibly elevated cityscapes. Frequently they included the artist–cartographer’s self-portrait within the image, often shown sketching the city from a high hilltop—as if to verify the view as something witnessed and drawn directly from life. Considering that such views were almost always products of the studio stitched together from multiple site drawings and instrument-aided measurements, why did cartographers, artists, and geographers continually play down the scientific underpinnings of the viewmaking enterprise, treating it as a realm of direct, unmediated observation? This talk traces the theoretical and visual discourses concerning the purpose of the city view in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. It will detail how measurement was translated into convincing perspectival pictures, and will further address the significant reversal that occurred in those discourses around 1600, when the emphasis upon the artist–cartographer’s transformative abilities would be replaced by a new stress upon the neutralizing power of scientific instruments.

In the 1630s, the most prominent aristocrats in the United Provinces, Frederik Hendrik and Amalia van Solms, commissioned a series of paintings from the Italian play Il Pastor Fido for Amalia’s private rooms in their new palace of Honselaarsdijk. Though the palace itself no longer exists, extensive documentation of both the design of the palace and its decoration survive. Previously, it has been suggested that these scenes contained a portrait of their patron. This paper furthers this hypothesis through a consideration not only of the iconography and political allegory of the cycle, but also through an examination of how portraits became an active element within elite spaces in the early modern period. Using two other examples of site specific allegorized portraiture of the same patron, this paper not only explores the artistic policies of a significant female patron, but also raises issues about the interaction of architectural spaces and their decoration and the dynamic and flexible power of the portrait.

Tomb effigies have long formed a cornerstone of the modern study of Gothic and Renaissance art; it is well known that they were popular across western Europe during the thirteenth through sixteenth centuries, and attracted a broad spectrum of patrons and artists. The origins of the effigy format, however, have been very nearly overlooked in the past century: while a few of the rare, early Romanesque effigies are known to specialists in the field, a comprehensive study of the rise of this sculptural type in the eleventh and early twelfth centuries has yet to be published. This talk introduces a few key monuments from the formative period of the figural tomb effigy, and proposes that these Romanesque effigies were distinct from their Gothic and Renaissance counterparts not only in form, but also in function.

The squatting of physical spaces is an important form of protest in European social movements. From
the 1970s onwards, activists began to occupy abandoned buildings transforming them in spaces
where to experiment alternative lifestyles and elaborate radical politics. In Italy, squatted spaces,
usually named “Self-Managed Occupied Social Centers” and first established in the 1970s, became
the backbones of national and transnational social movements that emerged late in the 1990s. Far
from being dismissed, this form of collective action continues to be used in order to create spaces of
resistance and struggle in societies. Through a diachronic perspective, the meeting discusses: the
characteristics and ideological orientation of Social Centers; interactions between Social Centers and
public institutions; the role of Social Centers in social movement scenes.

Prof. Gianni Piazza is Professor of Political Science at the Faculty of Political Sciences, University of Catania. He
works on squatted spaces, territorial conflicts and social movements in Italy. Among his recent publications:
Which models of democracy? Internal and external decision-making processes of Italian Social Centers in a
comparative study (2011, CSPS-WP Series); Voices of the Valley. Voices of the Straits. How protest creates
communities (2008, with Donatella della Porta).

Dr. Alice Mattoni is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Sociology, University of Pittsburgh. She works on
media practices, precarious workers and social movements in Italy. Among her recent publications: Media
Practices and Protest Politics. How Precarious Workers Mobilise (2012); Mediation and Social Movements
(2012, with Bart Cammaerts and Patrick McCurdy, eds.).

Greek houses of the Classical and Hellenistic periods incorporated a number of features that were designed for the safe-keeping of the entire oikos, the homeowner, his family and slaves, and their possessions. While many of these security measures do not survive intact in the archaeological record, they can be reconstructed from both scant remains and from literary and epigraphical accounts.

The physical provisions for security in Greek houses were many, including stoutly built doors and window shutters. Such means served both to enhance the actual security and the impression of it.

Additionally, human and divine protection alike were features of domestic security. Slaves were stationed at the street door and images of Hermes were placed there to add to that protection. Still other divinities, including Herakles Alexikakos, were also called upon to protect the home. On the other hand, while Classical Athens possessed a police force of Scythian archers, there is no evidence that this police force was charged with protecting private property.

Outside of urban areas, householders in the countryside gained added protection from the towers which were a common feature of farmhouses. Square or round in section, these towers were used both to protect the family and as storage places for grain.
