SUMMARY:FashionSpeak Fridays: 1950s in Vogue – The Jessica Daves Years
DESCRIPTION:Join fashion historian Rebecca Tuite for an evening on a fascinating moment in the history of “Vogue”\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nJoin fashion historian Rebecca Tuite for an evening on American Vogue’s most enigmatic editor-in-chief\, Jessica Daves\, and a fascinating moment in the magazine’s history. \nAppointed editor-in-chief in 1952\, Daves began a decade-long effort to elevate the world’s most influential fashion magazine to new standards. Daves’s Vogue was the first to embrace a “high/low” blend of fashion\, offering a complete vision of how other areas of modern life contributed to defining taste and style\, and profiling contemporary style-icons\, from John and Jackie Kennedy to Charles and Ray Eames. \nTuite is a fashion historian and writer. In addition to 1950s in Vogue: The Jessica Daves Years\, 1952-1962\, she is the author of Seven Sisters Style: The All- American Preppy Look. She has served as a fashion history consultant and expert for print articles and television segments for the BBC\, The Travel Channel and CNN\, among others. \n1950s fashion is highly encouraged! \nThere will be a very limited amount of books available for purchase\, so if you are interested in purchasing a copy (for $100.00 including sales tax)\, please email us at events@thenationalartsclub.org.

SUMMARY:Sir Roger Penrose in Conversation with Janna Levin
DESCRIPTION:Sir Roger Penrose was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his remarkable contributions to mathematics and physics. He is one of only twenty-two living recipients of the honor. Sir Roger\, as he is fondly known to other physicists\, is a relentlessly creative genius of the highest order. He has contributed profoundly to the structure of spacetime and geometry\, black holes\, the unification of quantum mechanics and gravity\, and the origin of our universe. His radical ideas on consciousness have provoked controversy and fascination\, while his playful geometric tilings were thought to be impossible in reality. Though intuition defying\, Penrose tilings ignited the imaginations of filmmakers and artists and ultimately were discovered in nature. Join Pioneer Works Director of Sciences Janna Levin as she hosts Sir Roger Penrose in a conversation that will stretch across the universe\, theories of consciousness\, and infinity. \nJoin us after the conversation for a book signing with Sir Penrose. Books will be available for purchase at the event. Weather permitting\, there will also be stargazing with the Amateur Astronomers Association of NY in our garden. \nSir Roger Penrose\, Order of Merit and Fellow of the Royal Society\, is presently Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford and an Emeritus Fellow at Wadham College. He won\, among many other awards\, the Wolf Prize in Physics\, which he shared with Stephen Hawking for the Hawking-Penrose Singularity Theorems. \nJanna Levin is the Chair and Director of the Science Studios at Pioneer Works. She is the Claire Tow Professor of physics and astronomy at Barnard College of Columbia University. Janna is a Guggenheim Fellow and a PEN-award winning novelist for a first work of fiction. She is the presenter of the NOVA feature Black Hole Apocalypse\, aired on PBS—the first female presenter for NOVA in 35 years. \n  \nDOORS AT 7PM\nCONVERSATION AT 8PM

SUMMARY:Medieval Medicine and Literature: A Galenic Presence in Dante’s Writing
DESCRIPTION:The attention to the relation between medieval medicine and Dante’s writing shows how contemporary scientific thought manifests itself both in evident and less explicit terms\, which allude not to exclusively scientific concepts\, but to structures of thought shared by other contemporary intellectual discussions\, such as philosophy\, ethics\, political thought. This lecture investigates how the manifest incidence of strictly medical – and more precisely Galenic – notions\, such as complexio or the hegemonic principle which rules the human being – permits the investigation of a more oblique presence\, where medicine contributes to the formation of complex and multifaceted content. \nA lecture by Paola Ureni\, CUNY.

SUMMARY:The Seine: The River That Made Paris
DESCRIPTION:Voyage down the Seine with journalist Elaine Sciolino as she explores the history of the beloved Parisian river and the lives it shapes. \nIn the spring of 1978\, as a young journalist in Paris\, Elaine Sciolino was seduced by a river. In The Seine\, she tells the story of that river through its rich history and lively characters—a bargewoman\, a riverbank bookseller\, a houseboat dweller\, a famous cameraman known for capturing the river’s light. She patrols with river police\, rows with a restorer of antique boats\, discovers a champagne vineyard\, and even dares to swim in the Seine. Sciolino’s keen eye and vivid prose bring the river to life as she discovers its origins on a remote plateau of Burgundy\, where a pagan goddess healed pilgrims at an ancient temple. She follows the Seine to Le Havre\, where it meets the sea. Braiding memoir\, travelogue and history through the Seine’s winding route\, Sciolino offers a love letter to Paris and the river at its heart and invites readers to explore its magic. \nA book signing follows the event.

SUMMARY:Villains of History: On Adolf Hitler with Dr. Benjamin Hett and Dr. Gail Saltz
DESCRIPTION:Behind the infamous deeds of history’s most notorious figures lie complex and mysterious human minds. Dr. Gail Saltz\, the author\, psychoanalyst and television commentator\, invites experts and brings her own expertise to bear as she examines the psychology of the villains of history\, including Adolf Hitler. \nWhy did democracy fall apart so quickly and completely in Germany in the 1930s? How did a democratic government allow Adolf Hitler to seize power? What personally drove Hitler to become a dictator and architect of mass genocide? Join Dr. Saltz and Dr. Benjamin Hett for this conversation on how Hitler used populist insurgencies to bring the Nazis to power and how the misguided confidence of conservative politicians resulted in a failure to recognize that their efforts played directly into Hitler’s hands. Hett\, a scholar and gifted storyteller\, will share how Hitler was able to take hold of the government\, the failures of the Weimar Republic and the shortsightedness of German politicians who allowed it to happen.

SUMMARY:Festival Albertine: How Do We Get People to Care
DESCRIPTION:Artists and activists will be called upon to discuss how to change people’s minds and amplify the call to action.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiterature\, music\, drama—these are key resources for societies trying to come to grips with new realities. In recent years we’ve seen them begin to grapple with climate change\, but that engagement must now grow. The arts have traditionally engaged with what seemed the most dramatic questions: the struggles of one set of human beings with another. That struggle is still underway\, of course\, but now we’ve added something different: the terrifying drama of people with a suddenly angry natural world. How does this new moment redefine what we think about when we take up brush or pen\, camera or keyboard? What is the work of a poet in a world on fire\, or an orchestra in a city where the seas are rising?\n\nWith Irina Brook\, Lauren Groff\, Fabrice Hyber\, and Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky. Moderated by Bill McKibben.

DESCRIPTION:Across five decades\, Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts has had the best seat in the house. Charlie Watts\, the anti-rock star—an urbane jazz fan with a dry wit and little taste for the limelight—was witness to the most savage years in rock history\, and emerged a hero\, a warrior poet. Author Mike Edison\, himself a notorious raconteur and accomplished drummer\, tells a tale of respect and satisfaction that goes far beyond drums\, drumming\, and the Rolling Stones\, ripping apart the history of rock’n’roll\, and celebrating sixty years of cultural upheaval. \n

SUMMARY:Philosophy Workshop on Joel Whitebook's Freud: An Intellectual Biography
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Joel Whitebook\, Philosopher and Psychoanalyst\, will discuss his book Freud: An Intellectual Biography. \nCutting through the tired clichés of the “Freud Wars\,” the author presents us with a radically new portrait of the founder of psychoanalysis. Because Whitebook is a philosopher as well as a psychoanalyst\, he has been able to integrate many of the profound transformations that have taken place in psychoanalytic theory and practice\, infant research\, gender studies\, philosophy\, and critical theory since Ernest Jones and Peter Gay published their canonical studies in the last century. Whitebook thereby succeeds in creating an account of Freud’s achievement that speaks to our cultural situation. \nFurthermore\, in addition to presenting the unfolding of Freud’s thinking in the context of the developments in his personal life and in the society at large\, Whitebook has also succeeded in bringing this iconic man to life in compelling fashion. Where Freud often tried to protect himself by hiding behind the forbidding mask of an authoritarian patriarch and unbending rationalist\, we come to see him as the vulnerable\, complex\, and all-too-human person that he was.

SUMMARY:The Jewish Dead in Literature and Lore
DESCRIPTION:What happens when the line between the dead and the living gets transgressed? Join us for a haunting lecture as we explore this gray area in Jewish lore\, literature\, and culture. Hear from Jonathan Boyarin as he delves into examples that are both familiar and not and shows us that though we try to preserve tidy lines separating the dead from the world of the living\, careful borders which delineate our modern reality\, we still remain uneasy. By examining these Jewish ghosts\, we find that our discomfort with the afterlife might in fact result from our insistence on these walls. \nJonathan Boyarin is the Diann G. and Thomas A. Mann Professor of Modern Jewish Studies at Cornell University\, where he teaches in the departments of anthropology and Near Eastern Studies.
