"Be-Troit – The Project, The Idea" - Film and Post Screening Discussion of a Documentary about Be-troit by Philip Haver: Monday, September 25, 8-10 p.m., North Quad 2435

Olad Aden, Venice Session, and young artists will answer questions after the screening.

The cities of Berlin and Detroit are full of amazing artists. Very much in the same way in which Berlin was regarded as the subcultural capitol of the world some 15 or 20 years ago, when artists were flocking to it because of affordable space, bringing with them an incredible energy and of course many talents and abilities, you can feel a certain kind of energy when you travel to Detroit these days. It is rough and at the same time interesting and beautiful, grimy and at the same time elegant and free. It is a place where devastation is still visible and alongside of it there are opportunities. Opportunities for artists, activists and resistance movements to help turn the city into the magnificent place it could be in order to make things better for all of its residents. 

From September 11 to September 20, 2016, artists from Berlin and Detroit, poets, emcees, singer/songwriters, beat producers, came together in Detroit in order to get to know one another and to create. In June of 2017, they got back together, this time in Berlin in order to present what had been created in Detroit.

The film will be presented in Detroit, Ann Arbor, Chicago and Urbana-Champaign.

Werner Grilk Lecture - Celia Applegate (Vanderbilt University), "Music, Work, Society: Speculations and Mediations at the Jahrhundertwende": Thursday, September 28, 5 p.m., Rackham Graduate School, East Conference Room

In 19th century German cultural and academic life a wide-ranging discussion emerged about the relationship between music, work, society, and political economy. A disparate group sought to position music not as the ancients and early moderns had done, as a matter of mathematics, physics, and cosmic speculation, but as a matter of biology, physiology, ethnology, sociology, and economics. Focusing mainly on the political economist Karl Bücher and his influence across various media, this talk examines one social scientist’s encounter with music and follows its reverberations outside of academic life.

Celia Applegate is the William R. Kenan, Jr. Chair of History and Professor of History at Vanderbilt University. She studies the culture, society, and politics of modern Germany, with particular interest in the history of music, nationalism and national identity. She is the author of A Nation of Provincials: The German Idea of Heimat (Berkeley, 1990), the co-editor (with musicologist Pamela Potter) of Music and German National Identity (Chicago, 2000), and the author of Bach in Berlin: Nation and Culture in Mendelssohn’s Revival of the St. Matthew Passion (Cornell, 2005), winner of the DAAD/GSA Book Prize. She is currently working on comprehensive interpretation of musical life in Germany from the 17th century to the present, titled "Music and the Germans: A History." She teaches courses on modern German politics and culture, the history of the Holocaust, of European thought, and of European nationalism and ethnic conflicts.
