SUMMARY:History Behind the Headlines: Socialism

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:Lincoln Center White Light Conversation: Let’s Talk About Religion
DESCRIPTION:God was declared dead in 1966\, no longer relevant to an increasingly secular society. Today\, people around the world ardently seek religious and faith-based experiences\, at times with an intolerant fervor. How did we vacillate between such extremes in the span of only half a century? In modern society\, few topics are as subject to ignorance\, misunderstanding\, and manipulation as religion. Although it is a central building block of human consciousness\, we possess surprisingly little knowledge about religious traditions—both of others and our own. From a more generalized “spirituality” to intersections with science and art\, religion has continued to powerfully resonate in our current challenging climate. Join WNYC’s John Schaefer and a group of leading thinkers for a spirited panel discussion exploring the many contradictions inherent in our understanding of religion and the evolutionary pathways of religious belief. \nSeating is limited\, and is available on a first-come\, first-served basis. \n  \nSpeakers: \nJohn Schaefer\, moderator \nKelly Brown Douglas\, dean of the Episcopal Divinity School\, Union Theological Seminary \nMarcelo Gleiser\, theoretical physicist and astronomer \nJames MacMillan\, composer \nStephen Prothero\, author\, Religious Literacy

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Primo Levi and Friendship in the Camp
DESCRIPTION:Uri Cohen: Affection and Survival: Primo Levi and Friendship in the Camp \nAffection is a lesser known aspect of the human and Jewish experience in the camps. Mostly it is related to the fractured past of which the camp is the present. Having written some of the essential pages on the human experience in the Lager\, Primo Levi continued contemplating and writing about it throughout his life. This talk will question affection in Levi’s writing and its place in the camp as a strategy of survival. Affection saves\, but it also prompts Levi’s internal inquiry that leads to the heart of his defining conceptual innovation: the Gray Zone. \nUri S. Cohen holds a PhD. from the Hebrew University and has served on the faculty of Columbia University (2004-2011).

SUMMARY:The Big Fella: Babe Truth and the World He Created
DESCRIPTION:In the 1920s\, Babe Ruth was the biggest thing in baseball—and in America’s galaxy of celebrities. He swung the heaviest bat\, earned the most money\, and incurred the largest fines. After hitting his 60th home run in September 1927\, he and teammate Lou Gehrig embarked on the mother of all barnstorming tours\, a three-week victory lap across America that one newspaper called “the biggest show since Ringling Brothers\, Barnum and Bailey\, and seven other associated circuses offered their entire performance under one tent.” Aided by his crucial partnership with Christy Walsh—business manager\, spin doctor\, damage-control wizard\, and surrogate father—Ruth drafted the blueprint for modern athletic stardom. Drawing on her new book\, The Big Fella: Babe Ruth and the World He Created\, Jane Leavy will discuss Ruth’s journey from Baltimore to the big league to the center of the nation’s adulation. In conversation with Yankees expert Marty Appel\, she will go behind the mythology to uncover the man whose approach to the game and to life was always to hit it with all you’ve got.

SUMMARY:Redlining and its Repercussions
DESCRIPTION:Redlining—the systematically racist banking practice of denying loans to people of color in post-WWII urban neighborhoods—is often portrayed as a closed chapter in the nation’s history of structural inequality. Yet intense discrimination persists as non-white communities face continuous exclusion from the “American Dream” of homeownership\, or are targeted by predatory lending practices\, further widening the racial wealth gap. Join UC Berkeley’s Richard Rothstein\, as he reveals the findings of his recent book\, The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How our Government Segregated America\, April de Simone\, co-creator of the Undesign the Redline project\, Sarita Daftary-Steel\, founder of the East New York Oral History Project\, and Catherine Green\, Founder and Executive Director of ARTs East NY and Founding Steering Committee Member of the Coalition for Community Advancement\, in a conversation moderated by Kai Wright\, host of WNYC podcasts There Goes the Neighborhood\, Indivisible\, and The Stakes.

SUMMARY:The Perils of the One (Stathis Gourgouris)
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating Recent Work by Stathis Gourgouris \nIn The Perils of the One\, Stathis Gourgouris offers a philosophical anthropology that confronts the legacy of “monarchical thinking”: the desire to subjugate oneself to unitary principles and structures\, whether political\, moral\, theological\, or secular.

He is Professor of  German\, Religious Studies\, Comparative Literature\, and Affiliated Professor of Philosophy. \nBruce Robbins\, Old Dominion Foundation Professor in the Humanities at Columbia University\, works mainly in the areas of nineteenth and twentieth century fiction\, literary and cultural theory\, and postcolonial studies. \nLydia H. Liu is the Wun Tsun Tam Professor in the Humanities at Columbia University; Director\, Institute for Comparative Literature and Society. Her research centers on modern China\, cross-cultural exchange\, and global transformation in modern history\, with a focus on the movement of words\, theories\, and artifacts across national boundaries and on the evolution of writing\, textuality\, and media technology. \nEtienne Balibar\, Professor of French and Comparative Literature\, teaches at Columbia every Fall semester. He is Professor Emeritus of moral and political philosophy at Université de Paris X – Nanterre and Professor Emeritus of Humanities at the University of California\, Irvine.
