Blurring
Edges of Identity: Buildings,
Borders, Nation and Landscape
A photographic
essay by Linn Song
MacMillan Hall Lobby, Miami
University
Sponsored by the Citizens of
the World Initiative with support
from The Center for American
and World Cultures, The School
of Fine Arts, The School of
Interdisciplinary Studies/Western
College Program, The Miami Art
Museum and the Department of
German, Russian, and East Asian
Languages.
The borders of
nations are socially/culturally-constructed
edges; barriers that psychologically
and politically demarcate cultural
boundaries and artificially
mark territories that do not
necessarily have any relationship
to the landscape or physical
environment. The conditions,
under which national borders
in Europe were “fronts”
and centers of conflict/battle
over political, cultural, economic,
and military power have shifted
further since the elimination
of border controls through the
Treaty/Aquis of Schengen, such
that cities and the political
arena have become the primary
places and spaces in which disputes
over culture, identity and power
arise and are negotiated. Thus,
the internal, „uncontrolled“
borders of the European Union
are now more rapidly transforming
into a different kind of space
in which the “edges”
have become fuzzy, bringing
with it the potential (or pitfall
as many argue?) of melting together
“natural”, cultivated,
built and acculturated environments.
Digitally manipulated „snapshots“
taken along the western border
of Germany and its French and
Benelux neighbors are a sampling
of the documentation of a changing
border and the focus of this
exhibition. The images are intended
to reveal the artificially constructed
nature of the boundaries we
set and the sometimes strange
juxtapositions that are emerging
out of these evolving spaces.
The photographs also attempt
to expose the hidden sides of
national identities that conflict
with stereotypes, tourist brochures,
the grand aesthetics of landscape
painting as well as political
and cultural rhetoric that espouse
a collective purity, supremacy
and uniqueness; those of resistance,
dissent and desertion as well
as simplicity, modesty…and
banality. |

" The Corporation"
7:00 p.m. Great
Room, 212 MacMillan Hall (Oxford campus)
Sponsored by The Center for American
and World Cultures, The School of
Interdisciplinary Studies, and the
Department of Anthropology.
The description below is from http://www.thecorporation.com/
"One hundred
and fifty years ago, the corporation
was a relatively insignificant entity.
Today, it is a vivid, dramatic and
pervasive presence in all our lives.
Like the Church, the Monarchy and
the Communist Party in other times
and places, the corporation is today's
dominant institution. But history
humbles dominant institutions. All
have been crushed, belittled or absorbed
into some new order. The corporation
is unlikely to be the first to defy
history. In this complex and highly
entertaining documentary, Mark Achbar,
co-director of the influential and
inventive MANUFACTURING CONSENT: NOAM
CHOMSKY AND THE MEDIA, teams up with
co-director Jennifer Abbott and writer
Joel Bakan to examine the far-reaching
repercussions of the corporation's
increasing preeminence. Based on Bakan's
book The Corporation: The Pathological
Pursuit of Profit and Power, the film
is a timely, critical inquiry that
invites CEOs, whistle-blowers, brokers,
gurus, spies, players, pawns and pundits
on a graphic and engaging quest to
reveal the corporation's inner workings,
curious history, controversial impacts
and possible futures. Featuring illuminating
interviews with Noam Chomsky, Michael
Moore, Howard Zinn and many others,
THE CORPORATION charts the spectacular
rise of an institution aimed at achieving
specific economic goals as it also
recounts victories against this apparently
invincible force.

The Disability
Forum: Beginning a Local Conversation
about Disability
4:30 p.m. Great
Room, 212 MacMillan Hall (Oxford campus)
Miami faculty, students,
and staff will discuss various issues
including disability law, what it
is like to be considered "disabled",
and what we are doing on this campus
to improve the intellectual, physical,
and cultural climate for the disabled.
The forum begins a local dialogue
about historical, legal, educational,
and theoretical constructions of disability
that pervade American culture. Sustained,
this conversation could result in
a more inclusive university community
by removing barriers to access and
changing discriminatory attitudes.

U.S. Department of Labor
Office of Disability Employment Policy
Frequently Asked Questions
QUESTION: What is National Disability
Employment Awareness Month?
ANSWER: Congress designated
each October as National Disability
Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM).
The Office of Disability Employment
Policy has the lead in planning NDEAM
activities and materials to increase
the public's awareness of the contributions
and skills of American workers with
disabilities. Various programs carried
out throughout the month also highlight
the specific employment barriers that
still need to be addressed and removed.
This effort to educate
the American public about issues related
to disability and employment actually
began in 1945, when Congress enacted
a law declaring the first week in
October each year "National Employ
the Physically Handicapped Week."
In 1962, the word "physically"
was removed to acknowledge the employment
needs and contributions of individuals
with all types of disabilities. In
1988, Congress expanded the week to
a month and changed the name to "National
Disability Employment Awareness Month."

The Great
Dictator
Screening
5:30 p.m. Room 100 Art Building (Oxford
campus)
(1940, 128 minutes)
Written, directed, and
scored by Charlie Chaplin, who also
plays the double role of a persecuted
Jewish barber as well as Adenoid Hynkel,
dictator of Tomania.
(In advance of David
Bathrick’s lecture “Charlie
Chaplin, Leni Riefenstahl, and The
Great Dictator,” 5 PM Thursday,
October 28, Alumni 1)
This film is about a
modest, unassuming proprietor of a
small barber shop in the Jewish ghetto
of Tomania, and that country's maniacal
dictator Adenoid Hynkel. The barber
spends two decades in a mental hospital
suffering from amnesia induced by
a World War I battle injury. He then
returns to his Jewish neighborhood
oblivious to the changes that have
occurred in his country since the
dictator Hynkel has come to power.
The battle he and his neighbors wage
to outwit the marauding storm troopers
provides a basis for the first half
of the film. Through a complicated
set of circumstances, Hynkel and the
barber become mistaken for each another
by Hynkel's troops. Forced into an
impersonation of Hynkel at a mass
rally celebrating Tomania's successful
invasion of Australia, the barber
steps even further out of character
and becomes Charlie Chaplin.

the World" From year to year,
this series will take you across the
five continents of the globe. This
season, the first finger points to
our opening destination, the mysterious
Orient, featuring the Far East'sAdaptation
of Alice in Wonderand. The Little
Theatre of the Deaf will take you
on a journey into the Wonderland of
the East as well as adding tidbits
of culture and history for the young
and young at heart. The audience will
not only meet some old friends from
Lewis Carroll's beloved classic, but
also be entertained by short folktales
from different countries in the region.
This entire 50-60 minute show is something
you don't want to miss!
Additional Information:
The Tony-Award winning company will
begin each
50-60 minute program with a sign language
warm-up. For those who know sign language,
it entertains; for those who don't
know sign language, it educates as
well as entertains by providing an
opportunity to learn some signs and
have a greater understanding and appreciation
of the program that follows. (Interpreters
will be provided to voice the content
of the show; an understanding of sign
language is not required to attend)

Gael Hannan
"Unheard
Voices"
8:00 p.m. Room
128 Pearson Hall
"Unheard
Voices" is a candid and compassionate
portrayal of people coping with the
life-changing impact of hearing loss.
Gael Hannon, an actor with profound
hearing loss, gives a powerful performance
in this adaptation of her popular
one-woman play. The characters in
"Unheard Voices" cover the
human spectrum of hearing loss - children,
adults, women, men, and professionals.
The stories are both funny and moving,
as ordinary words become eloquent
descriptions of how hearing loss makes
us feel and behave.

of the National Student Speech, Language,

Mosaic
Theatre of Detroit
The Tesserae One Act Play Festival
7:00 p.m. Hall
Auditorium (Oxford campus)
These are the plays
that will be performed:
Bang
Bang You're Dead
by William Mastrosimone
Cagebirds
by David Campton
Playwriting
101: The Rooftop Lesson
by Rich Orloff
This is the definition
of Tesserae. We call the Festival
this because:
Tesserae (Latin) are:
1. A piece of glass,
stone, or tile used to create a mosaic.
2. A small tile used as a ticket to
the theatre in ancient times.
3. A collection of one act plays performed
by Detroit's most talented troupe
of young artists.
This is a quote the
director chose to summarize the theme
of this years festival:
A man can be free even
within prison walls. Freedom is something
spiritual.
Whoever has once had it, can never
lose it.
There are some people who are never
free outside a prison.

“The
Climate for Women at Miami University”
Forum
4:00 p.m. Heritage Room, Shriver Center
(Oxford campus)
The university setting
remains very “gendered”
for students, faculty, and staff.
Last month, Harvard University President,
Lawrence Summers, added to the controversy
when he stated inherent differences
between women and men were possible
reasons why fewer women are successful
in math, science, and engineering.
Empirical evidence suggests that a
“chilly climate” is present
within many coeducational universities.
The Forum is an effort to assess what
steps have been taken to address challenges
for women at Miami and what work remains
to be done.

Women at Miami: Challenges and Opportunities."

There will be
food, presentations, dances, and poetry
from the various African countries
represented on this campus. There
will also be a fashion show. Additionally,
the African Student Unions from both
Earlham University and Ohio State
University will be performing as well.
This event is open to everyone and
so we attract students, faculty and
members of the Oxford community and
beyond. The purpose is to share with
others our culture through food, music
and presentations. There will be presenters
from other student organizations on
campus who will be looking for additional
support in their endeavors to be active
members of the global community. These
two groups are: African School Advancement
Program that was organized to raise
funds and supplies for those African
schools that are without, and SaveDarfur
which seeks to raise both funds and
awareness on the general campus about
the conflict in the Sudan. We hope
that is will be both an enjoyable
and educational experience for all
those who attend.
