Czech Film Series: Ecstasy
7:00 PM, Lindley Hall 102
Called “The Most Whispered About Picture In The World”, it tells the stark naked truth of a woman’s desire for love. “Daring! Revealing! Shocking!” were other epithets used about it. This is an intense, beautiful (and extremely taboo at the time) study of a young woman’s sexuality, without overly squishy emotionality, and without words (mostly). Gustav Machaty’s Ecstasy explains some simultaneously simple and convoluted facts of life. Hedy Lamarr (then Hedy Kiesler) stars as Eva, a young bride who marries an older man only to discover on her wedding night that he’s uninterested in sex. With extreme D.H. Lawrence ennui (the novelist must have loved this picture if he ever saw it), Eva cannot stand this dull union. In German with English subtitles. 89 minutes.
Central Asian Film Series: Daughter-in-Law (Turkmenistan 1972)
7:00 PM, Wylie Hall 005
Director: Khodzhakuli Narliev
81 minutes; Turkmen dubbed in Russian with English subtitles
Based on a true story, “Daughter-in-Law” (Nevestka) portrays the traditional lifestyle of Turkmen herders, an old man and his daughter-in-law, living in the desert. They wait endlessly for the return of the woman’s husband, a pilot killed in World War II. Their way of life is conveyed with such depth and emotion, in such a charming rhythm, that it is impossible to turn away from the screen. The movie received numerous prizes and brought its director international recognition.

European History Colloquium: Brigitte Le Normand, Indiana University Southeast, "The frailty of citizenship: Yugoslavia and its migrant workers in Western European, 1963-1973"
12:00 -1:00 PM, Sassafras Room, IMU
In her paper, Brigitte Le Normand draws attention to the changing way in which socialist Yugoslavia's authorities perceived its labor migrants, and the importance of those perceptions in shaping policies. Authorities gradually became preoccupied with the psychological fragility of its migrants and their vulnerability to the machinations of hostile political émigré communities, and responded by devising a variety of programs to keep workers informed and to encourage their self-organization. With her paper, Le Normand emphasizes the limits of Yugoslavia's ability to coerce its population, examining how it relied to a greater extent on persuasion to preserve the loyalty of its citizens.
The paper will be precirculated. For a copy please contact Mark Roseman, marrosem@indiana.edu.

Professor Halina Goldberg, "The Jewish Self/The Jewish Other: Performing Identity in the Majufes"
12:00 PM, Distinguished Alumni Room, IMU
Starting in the last quarter of the 19th century, the tune known in Poland as “Majufes” (elsewhere as “Reb Dovidls nign,” “Der rebe hot geheysn freylekh zayn," or “Tanz, tanz yidelekhs”) appears in a variety of contexts and venues: Yiddish theater, Polish popular theater, social and political satire, and ballet, among them. For the performers and their audiences, the bodily and musical performances of the “Majufes” become the means through which Jewish identity was constructed. Using primary materials (period manuscripts, prints, postcards, and press), the lecture will explore how this performed identity shifted through the various binaries--Self/Other, East/West, Traditional/Assimilated.

Robert Goldstein Lecture, "The Frightful Stage: Political Censorship of the Theater in Nineteenth-Century Europe"
4:00 PM, Bridgewater Room, Neal Marshall Center
"That theatrical censors were particularly active in continental Europe during the nineteenth century is well known. The virtue of Robert Goldstein's collection is to focus attention on ways in which the situation changed from country to country, from one political situation to another, from one social class to another. Since each chapter is assigned to a different expert, we are assured of having the best possible coverage of these differences from scholars who know intimately the history in each country. Their bibliographical essays, furthermore, provide invaluable points of departure for further research. Anyone who loves nineteenth-century theater or opera in any European context will find this book an invaluable resource." - Philip Gossett, Professor Music and Romance Languages and Literature,
The University of Chicago, author of Divas and Scholars: Performing Italian Opera (2006).
