My Song in the Night: Hasidic Women's New Yiddish Songs
Jewish Studies Program
Thursday December 3, 2009
3:00-4:30 p.m.
202 Communications, Simpson Center for the Humanities, UW
When browsing through a bookstore in a Hasidic neighborhood in New York or Jerusalem, one is likely to find a number of tapes and CDs of Hasidic male singers and boys' choirs. These recordings, however, do not represent the full spectrum of contemporary Hasidic song culture.
Because of Kol B'Isha, a Jewish religious regulation on a woman’s voice, Hasidic women are unable to publicly perform or commercially record songs, as their voices are considered to be sensually attractive to men. Yet Hasidic women’s participation in creative expression through singing and song-writing should not be discounted.
In fact, since the Second World War, women and girls have created far more songs in Yiddish than have men, and while the men’s music has been collected, published, and analyzed to an extent, virtually nothing is known outside of the community about the enormous repertoire of the Hasidic women’s new songs. This lecture will describe both the main themes and genres of Hasidic women's Yiddish songs and the contexts in which women and girls attend and participate in performances.

Overtaken By Events: A Pakistan Road Trip Slide show presentation by Ethan Casey
Joint Outreach
South Asia Center
Thursday December 3, 2009
7:00-8:30 PM
Thomson Hall 317, UW Campus, Seattle
Overtaken By Events: A Pakistan Road Trip is Jackson School MA candidate Ethan Casey's account of a six-week overland journey from Mumbai, India to Karachi, Pakistan between February and April 2009. It will be published in March 2010, with 16 pages of photographs by Seattle-based photographer Pete Sabo.
Overtaken By Events is a sequel to Alive and Well in Pakistan: A Human Journey in a Dangerous Time (2004), which has been praised as “Magnificent … a travel book that travels through the mind” by Ahmed Rashid, author of Taliban and Descent Into Chaos, as “Intelligent and compelling” by Pakistani novelist Mohsin Hamid, author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Moth Smoke, as “A search for common humanity” by The Daily Telegraph, and as “Wonderful … a model of travel writing” by American novelist Edwidge Danticat.
Both books document the human dimension of events in and involving Pakistan, report on recent events as they affect ordinary Pakistanis, and humanize Pakistan and Pakistanis for a global and particularly American readership. Casey visited Pakistan first in 1995 and most recently in early 2009, and he lived for five months in 2003-04 in Lahore, where he taught journalism at Beaconhouse National University. Venues he'll be speaking at during the 2009-10 academic year including Brown University, Texas Christian University, and the Air Force Academy.

Male worlds - female worlds: gender specific aspects of early Choson painting
Korea Studies Program
Wednesday February 10, 2010
3:30-5:00PM
Thomson Hall #317
Burglind Jungmann earned her doctorate at the Heidelberg University in 1989. After six more years of research in Korea and Japan she gained her second doctorate in 1996. Professor Jungmann currently teaches Korean art history at the University of California in Los Angeles
Discourses about visual culture of the early Chosŏn period (1392-1910) have been dominated by concepts of the literati arts, particularly of landscape painting relating to earlier Chinese masters, the discussion of its styles, iconographies and theories. We have thus acquired a picture of a world dominated by a male elite enjoying poetry, calligraphy, and painting. A good example of a painting representing such a worldview is An Kyŏn’s Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Land, done in 1447. It was commissioned by a prince, relates to an ancient Chinese poem and to the poet himself who is regarded as the model of the cultured recluse. Its style recalls the dominant landscape idiom of the Northern Song dynasty, the cradle of Neo-Confucianism, and its twenty-one colophons can be read as a “who-is-who” of the fifteenth century Chosŏn political and cultural elite.
The dominance of this male-centered view, its coherence and logic has for a long time prevented us from asking questions such as: Have there been painting genres during roughly the same period that were different in iconography and style? What was the role of women vis-à-vis this male elite, and did their role allow them to engage in the arts as artists or patrons? How did Buddhism, which had dominated Korean culture and politics until the end of the fourteenth century, react to its suppression by Confucian ideologists? An early Chosŏn Buddhist painting, Shakyamuni Triad of 1562, could answer some of these questions by shedding light on a different, female world, that of a queen who sponsored the restoration of monasteries and commissioned hundreds of Buddhist paintings, who had lavish Buddhist ceremonies held and eventually attempted to restore, at least in part, some influence of the Buddhist church over politics.
For the art historian, the contrast between the two worlds is particularly intriguing: not only can one world be described as male and rooted in the Chinese Neo-Confucian literati tradition, and the other as female and devoted to Buddhism, the most striking difference at first glance is the color. Literati landscape paintings are mainly monochrome, Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Land has only light touches of white and pink for the blossoming trees, while Shakyamuni Triad was done in vivid colors and gold.
By analyzing early Chosŏn literati painting and Buddhist painting and unwrapping the layers of their social significance and cultural backgrounds my paper attempts to shed light on the shaping of male and female roles in early Chosŏn society and on the role that Buddhism played in a Confucian world.

Building Community Through Music
The Fandango traditions of Veracruz, Mexico, use music, singing, and dancing to generate a spirit of convivencia—of living and being in community. For a decade, musicians in Veracruz and in California have built a movement of convivencia through Fandango Sin Fronteras (Fandango Without Borders). The Seattle Fandango Project brings
this movement to Seattle with local workshops, concerts, and public discussions with guest artists Son De Madera, as well as
community members, organizers, and educators. Come experience and learn!
Son De Madera, a quartet from Veracruz, Mexico, is known for its powerful music arrangements in the Son Jarocho tradition. They
will be in residence in Seattle during the month of October.
