  • Tuesday, October 5 at 7 pm is the launch of the book “What They Didn’t Burn: Discovering My Father’s Holocaust Secrets.” Director of Academic Affairs Jane Eisner joins the Museum of Jewish Heritage with author Mel Laytner (’71 M.S.). Melding the intimacy of personal memoir with the rigors of investigative journalism, “What They Didn’t Burn: Uncovering My Father’s Holocaust Secrets” is a heartwarming, inspiring story of resilience and redemption.
  • Wednesday, October 6, at 6:15 pm is this year’s Trilling Lecture which examines the idea of the moment of Black Studies as protest on the streets of America is transformed, virtually overnight, into a curricular object—still controversial nonetheless—that has altered the face of humanistic study in the United States. Titled “The Black Studies Project: 50 Years and Counting,” it will be given by Dr. Hortense Spillers with responses from Professors Rich Blint and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak.
  • Thursday, October 7, at 6:30 pm is the launch of Professor Emily Sun’s newest book: On the Horizon of World Literature. The book compares literary texts from asynchronous periods of incipient literary modernity in different parts of the world: Romantic England and Republican China. She is joined by Jenny Davidson and David Lurie of Columbia University, Christopher GoGwilt of Fordham University and Peter Connor of Barnard College.
  • Thursday, October 7, at 7 pm is the first screening in the Mauvais Genres Film Festival—Cléo from 5 to 7 by Agnès Varda. Agnès Varda eloquently captures Paris in the 1960s with this real-time portrait of a singer (Corinne Marchand) set adrift in the city as she awaits, from 5 to 7 pm, the results of a worrying medical test. A spirited chronicle of these minutes of one woman’s life, Cléo from 5 to 7 mixes vivid cinéma vérité and melodrama to tell a story of maturation and emancipation.
  • Friday, October 8, at 3 pm is “Geographies of Injustice – Poetic Action – A Child’s Gaze.” The online activity aims to carry out artistic, poetic and reflective exercises with different audiences, inspired by the concept of “poetics of childhood” by Renato Noguera, Ação Poética; a child’s gaze intends to travel through childhood as a way of perceiving the world and as the ability to color existence.
