Twentieth-century nationalism was marked by the effective use of press culture and graphic satire to shape the discourse of modernity. Along the way, women鈥檚 rights and minority rights were struggles that formal institutions resisted and appropriated. This year鈥檚 Templeton Colloquium, 鈥淥f Satire and Bigotry: Press Culture, Women鈥檚 Rights, and Liminal Modernity in West Asia鈥 invites four experts to address the often-overlooked role of liminal bodies in the processes of modernization and the forms of modernity in press and satire cultures based in such metropolitan centers as Tehran, Cairo, Istanbul, and Beirut.

Valente Lecture: 鈥楤raiding the Rhythm: How Vernacular Discourse May Inform a Music Theory for the 21st Century鈥

Feb. 24, 4-5:30 p.m.

Room 266, Everson Hall

Based on a review of vernacular terms and concepts from the U.S. and Latin America, and relating them where possible to published scholarship, this presentation will suggest a framework for talking about rhythm in popular music. It is offered as a response to calls for diversity, equity and inclusion in music studies and the need to expand the scope of music theory core courses, which are based on classical music and taught in a uniform way across most university music programs. The standard theory core is especially deficient in relation to rhythm, a dimension of popular music that has not only been ignored by theorists, but historically racialized and trivialized in the discourses surrounding popular music.

He is the author of Carnival Music in Trinidad (Oxford University Press 2004), Music from behind the Bridge (Oxford 2008), and numerous articles about Caribbean music.

Collaborative performance will be presented at theatre in March

March 3-5, 7-8:15 p.m., $10 Adults / $8 Faculty and Staff / $5 Students and Seniors

Wright Hall

Clouds from a Crumbling Giant, a collaborative performance project, will be presented by the 嘿嘿视频 Department of Theatre and Dance March 3-5 in the Main Theater, Wright Hall.  

Devised by Granada Artist-in-Residence Shinichi Iova-Koga, the project follows the birth and death of a species, an empire, a universe, a flower. Time unfolds on stage like a wheel revolving, seeming to follow a path that becomes the snake eating its own tail. Behind the curtain, vibrations emerge to shape the earth, the rocks, the people. Clouds from a Crumbling Giant teems with stillness and wild movement, spoken text, song and sound. Warning: contains adult language and production employs fog effects. 

Performances begin at 7 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at the 嘿嘿视频 Ticket Office, located on the north side of Aggie Stadium, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, by phone 530-752-2471 during the same hours, or online
