In the most comprehensive examination to date of Heidegger’s Nazism, Emmanuel Faye draws on previously unavailable materials to paint a damning picture of Nazism’s influence on the philosopher’s thought and politics. This lecture at Notre Dame will be the first time Faye speaks on the subject of his book, Heidegger: The Introduction of Nazism Into Philosophy, since the English translation was published this fall in the United States.

In her newest book, Shakespeare and Modern Culture (Pantheon, Dec 2008), Garber focuses on the reciprocal relationship by which modern culture makes Shakespeare and Shakespeare makes modern culture.

Thu Feb 25, 2010 at 5:00PM
Lecture: “'I had to take my son and my mother into exile': Experiences of parents and children in the Soviet Gulag"
Dr. Jehanne Gheith
Associate Professor, Slavic and Eurasian Studies and Co-Director, International Comparative Studies at Duke University
DeBartolo Hall, Room 208

Based on multiple interviews with Gulag survivors and children of Gulag survivors, this talk explores how the Soviet Gulag experience changed the experience of intimate relationship, causing radical disruptions that often lasted a lifetime. In particular, we’ll look at the experience of mothers and children as they move into exile, as babies are born in the Gulag camps, and as children tried to relate to parents who have been arrested. We will think together about short-term and long-term effects of these multiple disruptions and how they continue to affect people today.

Sponsored by the Russian and East European Studies Program in the College of Arts and Letters with support from the Nanovic Institute for European Studies.


Prospero’s Books (Rated R)
Thursday, February 25th at 7:00 pm
Browning Cinema, DeBartolo Performing Arts Center

Peter Greenaway had to cancel his engagement due to a last minute scheduling conflict. We are pleased to announce that Nanovic Faculty Fellow Peter Holland, the McMeel Chair Shakespeare Studies, will be introduce the film.

Working the familiar Shakespearean territory of The Tempest allows Greenaway to run wild with the visuals, embedding frames within frames, composing each shot like an independent work of art and flanking the main action with purposeful but controversial imagery. Co-sponsored by the Nanovic Institute for European Studies, Shakespeare at Notre Dame, and the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.

Tickets: $6, $5 faculty/staff, $4 seniors, and $3 all students. Call 574-631-2800 or visit http://performingarts.nd.edu

FREE TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE FOR NANOVIC FACULTY FELLOWS AND MINORS. Contact the office if interested!

Would be interested to see your notes from Emmanuel Faye's lecture on Heidegger. It's one thing to say he was a Nazi, it's another to say his work was not philosophy.

I didn't make it to that one.

We also have a colloqium with Robert von Hallberg that's happening Friday and that should be interesting.
