Business does not only influence science in 21st-century America. This talk reveals how entrepreneurial science has been with us since the scientific revolution, and exposes how product marketing, patent litigation, and ghostwriting pervaded the practice of natural history and anatomy, the big sciences of the early modern era. It argues that the growth of global trade in the Dutch Golden Age gave rise to a transnational network of entrepreneurial science, connecting natural historians, physicians, and curiosi in Amsterdam, London, St Petersburg, or Danzig. These practitioners were out there to do business. They bought and sold exotica, preserved specimens, anatomical prints, and botanical atlases. This talk shows how, in their trade, Dutch naturalists relied on such mercantile innovations as postal networks and international banking, and also developed their own infrastructure for managing the long-distance, monetary exchange of scientific knowledge and curiosities. In the process, they contributed to the growth of modern science, and imbued its ethos and practices with financial undertones. Entrepreneurial rivalries, secrecy, and marketing strategies transformed the honorific, gift-based exchange system of the early modern Republic of Letters into a competitive marketplace. Emphatically, this talk also claims that trade brought about a culture of scientific debate in the Netherlands, thoroughly influencing the visual epistemology of early modern science. Market competition pitted naturalists against each other, and compelled them to develop philosophical arguments to promote the representational claims of their imaging techniques. This talk reconstructs how financial motives spurred a pamphlet war over the proper method to represent human anatomy, and also engendered the early eighteenth-century debate over Newtonian and Aristotelian color theory.

“THE LAST ILLUSION/DER RUF”
Director: Josef von Baky, b/w, 104 min., 1948/49
A German-Jewish university professor’s return to Germany at the end of the war brings
with it a difficult departure from his American émigré community, an unexpected
reunion with his ex-wife and a final battle against anti-Semitism. This film is based on
the displacement of actor and director Fritz Kortner and contains autobiographical elements.

Osvaldo Golijov’s unique, Grammy Award-winning chamber opera reunites the artists of Quantum’s acclaimed 2011 production Maria de Buenos Aires. To this point, it seems appropriate that we are in East Liberty again- this time, at the beautiful East Liberty Presbyterian Church. Ainadamar tells the story of Spanish poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca’s life as a young artist at the eve of the Spanish revolution and of his relationship with Margarita Xirgu, the great Catalan tragedian who was his muse. A flamenco-based score - Deep Song, as it’s called – articulates the pounding of horses’ hooves, the guns of the Falangists, and ultimately, the powerful, undeniable cry for freedom that could not be silenced. With a libretto by theatrical giant David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly) and spectacular site-specific staging.

*Part of the yearlong series, “Speaking in Tongues”

We are very proud to welcome the 2012 Second Language Research Forum to Pittsburgh, PA. Pittsburgh is known as the "City of Bridges", and we hope to use this idea to highlight the bridges that exist between the various disciplines involved in SLA research. SLRF 2012 will build on this theme with the aim of bridging gaps between individual disciplines that all share a common goal: to improve our understanding of second language learning, acquisition, instruction, and use. This conference will highlight the strengths of each discipline while providing a platform for an open dialogue between fields. To this end, we are inviting proposals for papers and colloquia from any field of study that addresses SLA.

The Department of History of Art & Architecture at the University of Pittsburgh is pleased to announce its 2012 graduate student symposium titled “Exhibition Complex: Displaying People, Identity, and Culture.” Organized in collaboration with the Carnegie Museum of Art, our topic is inspired by the museum's fall 2012 exhibition Inventing the Modern World: Decorative Arts at the World's Fairs, 1851-1939. This year's symposium sets out to analyze the many modes of display, types of artistic production, and built and existing structures that constitue ephemeral exhibition spaces. The keynote address will be delivered by Saloni Mathur, Associate Professor of Art History at UCLA and author of India by Design: Colonial History and Cultural Display (2007).

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11: EUROPE DAY!
Are you interested in studying and eventually working in Europe? Then join us for this series of events that will give you information and resources to successfully include Europe in your plans.

Europe Day Fair
11:00am – 2:00pm, Lower Lounge – William Pitt Union
The Europe Day Fair has been designed to promote Europe related programs and resources on campus, and help undergraduate students understand the ways they can Europeanize their studies and post graduate plans while at Pitt. Come meet with representatives from Europe related centers, academic programs, clubs and organizations on campus, and learn about Europe related resources at the office of Career Development & Placement Assistance. Also learn about European study abroad options and the many ways study abroad can be paid for with scholarships and financial aid.

Panel: “Your Interests in Europe and International Relations: Where Can They Lead?”
3:00 – 4:30, 4130 WWPH
Interested in learning how to match your interests in (Europe related) International Relations and Political Science with academic options and choices for graduate programs and professional fields? Join us for tips & suggestions and to brainstorm about your own interests and plans.
Panelists include: Ron Linden, Director, EUCE/ESC; Bob Hayden, Director, REES; Gemma Marolda, Faculty, EUCE and Political Science Dept; Kristian McCloud – Career Development and Placement Assistance Office

“Passport Career” Orientation
6:00 – 8:30, Lower Lounge – WPU
Passport Career is a useful tool for Pitt students and alumni who may be considering a job or internship search abroad and allows users to search for information by city and country of interest. Susan Musich, the founder Executive Director of Passport Career, will introduce this new resource to students interested in exploring possibilities of working abroad.

As this second installment in our series of interactive videoconferences this year, Conversations in Europe, the EUCE/ESC will bring experts together via remote connection to discuss the range and level of European influence in the Middle East. Europe has, until recently, been an attractive model for countries in democratization, because of the non-threatening, non-military way Europe—and the EU in particular—attracted adherents. Almost two years after the Arab Spring, does Europe retain any influence, any ability to influence events? Panelists will include: Mohammed Bamyeh (University of Pittsburgh); Tal Sadeh (Tel Aviv University); Urfan Khaliq (Cardiff University); Beverly Crawford (University of California, Berkeley); and Eva-Maria Maggi (Helmut-Schmidt-University/University of Washington). Ronald Linden, Professor of Political Science, will moderate. Audience participation is invited.

Reforming the Policy and Practice of Community Engagement of Higher Education featuring keynote addresses by:
Mark A. Nordenberg, Chancellor, University of Pittsburgh
David P. Baker, Penn State
Kassie Freeman, President, Southern University System
Alex Johnson, President, CCAC
Anne Kaplan, Vice President, Northern Illinois University

The background of Peter Paul Rubens’s Miracles of St. Francis Xavier, painted in 1617 for the Jesuit church in Antwerp, contains a surprising detail - a horned Hindu idol that is being destroyed by rays of light emanating from an allegory of the Catholic Faith. Far from being meaningless exotica, the Hindu idol plays an important iconographic role in the larger decorative scheme of the Antwerp Jesuit church. Designed by Rubens in 1620 and executed by his assistants, the ceiling decoration of the side aisles and galleries contains several other images of the destruction of idols by early Christian saints such as St. Eugenia and St. John Chrysostom. There is no other Jesuit church in the world where the themes of iconoclasm and idol smashing are so prominent. This iconography must have had special significance for audiences in Antwerp. In the course of this presentation, I will demonstrate that the events of the late sixteenth century, including the iconoclasm of 1566 and the tyrannical governorship of the Duke of Alba, still resonated in Antwerp and led Rubens to make certain iconographic choices when confronted with the problem of how to depict the destruction of religious images in a city that was still recovering from wounds inflicted by revolt, oppression, mutiny, and war.

All films will have subtitles accessible to non-German speaking audiences. All film screenings are open to the public. All films will be DVD projection. Many of these films are rare and hard to find. I would encourage you to bring friends so they can take advantage of the experience.

Graduate students and faculty are invited to participate in this workshop, which will provide training in the theory and application of the multiliteracies approach to teaching advanced-level foreign language courses. Participants will have the chance to develop their own teaching materials.

Heather Willis Allen is an Assistant Professor of French and Second Language Acquisition at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she also serves as Course Chair for the Elementary French program. Allen’s research interests include language-learning motivation, teacher development, and literacy-based approaches to teaching and learning. Her book-length publications include Educating the Future Foreign Language Professoriate for the 21st Century (Heinle Cengage, 2011), co-edited with Hiram H. Maxim, and Alliages culturels: La société française en transformation (in press, Heinle Cengage), a literacy-based introduction to French culture today textbook co-authored with Sebastien Dubreil. Allen’s research has also appeared in the ADFL Bulletin, Foreign Language Annals, the French Review, Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, the Journal of Studies in International Education, the L2 Journal and the Modern Language Journal. Her next project, contracted with Pearson, is a co-authored introduction to foreign language teaching manual entitled A Multiliteracies Framework for Collegiate Foreign Language Teaching.

The Habsburg Monarchy disappeared in 1918, but many elements of its urban culture survived and even continued to evolve in the years to follow. In popular cinema of the interwar period, we can pick up what Nancy Condee has called, in other contexts, an "imperial trace" and begin to map out a common cultural space that continued to bridge the former twin seats of empire, Vienna and Budapest. For this talk, I will focus on three titles -- Frühjahrsparade (1934), Ernte/Die Julika (1936), and Maria Ilona (1939) -- helmed by Géza von Bolváry, one of the most prolific directors of the period. These films point the way toward a "post-imperial" cinema that both re-enacted and re-imagined the relationship between the Austrian and Hungarian halves of the vanished Dual Monarchy.

To cap off the events of Irish Studies Week 2012, the EUCE/ESC will host a reception with live Irish music and information on the multiple opportunities to explore contemporary and historical Ireland while at the University of Pittsburgh. Refreshments provided. Open to the community.
