    European Studies guest lecture - Bernd Kortlander "Poet Unknown: The Expulsion of Heinrich Heine from German Literature"
    Oct. 4th, 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM
    114 Gore hall
    Heinrich Heine is one of Germany and Europe’s greatest Romantic poets. Yet Heine was gradually removed from the canon of German letters between the late nineteenth century and the National Socialist regime. Why? Professor Bernd Kortländer, a leading specialist on the poet, explores the elements of Heine’s oeuvre that clashed with the cultural politics of various nationalist standpoints. Heine’ s famous poem, “Loreley,” illustrates these various phases of reception, including its virulent rejection by the Nazis, who strove to erase Heine completely from German literary tradition.

    Asian Studies lecture - Renato Cruz DeCastro "Projecting American Airpower into the Dragon's Lair"
    Oct. 25th, 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM
    122 Memorial Hall
    The talk examines the implications of the 2014 Philippine-U.S. Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA). The Philippines negotiated this pact because of its limited defense capabilities and China's heavy-handed handling of the 2012 Scarborough Shoal stand-off.
    In January 2016, the Philippine Supreme Court ruled in favor of the EDCA setting in motion the deployment of American forces in the Philippines. Currently, the U.S. Air Force maintains a small contingent of aircraft and personnel in Philippine territory. This presence in five Philippine Air Force bases marks the return of U.S. airpower which can be projected deep into China's near sea defense zone. Only time will tell if the allies can fully develop a formidable deterrent posture to constrain China's expansionist moves in the South China Sea. This will largely depend on how President Rodrigo Duterte views China's expansion in the South China Sea and on whether or not he will continue his predecessor's efforts to challenge Chinese efforts to control this disputed maritime territory.
    Prof. Renato Cruz De Castro De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines

  • Charles King, Georgetown University "Europe, Turkey, and the Age of the Refugee: What the Past Can Teach Us About the Present Crisis"

    Nov. 2 at 4:00 pm in 037 Memorial Hall

    European Studies program lecture

    In this talk based on his book Midnight at the Pera Palace: The Birth of Modern Istanbul, Charles King sheds light on the early history of the Turkish Republic and, more broadly, the moment in European history when Westerners were often needy immigrants and Easterners their reluctant hosts. The interwar years were an era of urban reinvention and imperial collapse, but they were also what King calls the hidden Islamic jazz age: a moment when the center of the Ottoman Empire began to transform itself into a modern metropolis. Through war, regime change, and refugee flight, Istanbul emerged as a new kind of cosmopolitan center.

     

    Co-sponsored with the Islamic Studies program, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Center for Global and Area Studies.
