Yale Center for the Study of Globalization Panel Discussion

4 pm
SSS 114

---

"A Preemptive Strike on Iran? Economic and Geopolitical Consequences"
Recently, the possibility of an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities has been looming. The materialization of this risk could conceivably evolve into a major shock for the global economy, with serious geopolitical consequences. Therefore, the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization is organizing a public roundtable aimed at analyzing, from various perspectives, the rationale, likelihood and probably consequences of that occurrence. Moderated by the Center's Director and Former President of Mexico, Ernesto Zedillo, the panel includes the former spokesman for Iran's nuclear negotiating team, Ambassador Seyed Hossein Mousavian; the author of the Foreign Affairs article, "Time to Attack Iran," Matthew Kroenig; author of Iran's Long Reach: Iran as a Pivotal State in the Muslim World, Suzanne Maloney; and an expert on the economic effects of oil market disruptions, Hillard Huntington.

All are welcome. For more information email haynie.wheeler@yale.edu or call 432-1904.

*Please note: Panel Discussion is scheduled to occur prior to the official start of Family Weekend.

Exhibits
 
Latvian Publishing Between the Wars
Sterling Memorial Library, Memorabilia Room

The establishment of the Republic of Latvia (1918-1940) sparked an expansion in the Latvian Publishing industry. The multi-lingual publications that flourished in the newly independent nation reflect Latvia’s history and include works printed in German, Russian, and Yiddish in addition to Latvian. Aspiring publishers, here as everywhere in post-WWI Europe, operated within fiscal constraints while attempting to improve the literary environment with the quality of both belles lettres and non-fiction.

Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies: Achievements and Challenges 1982-2012
Sterling Memorial Library, Courtyard Corridor

The Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies, founded in 1981 and inaugurated1982, is dedicated to the recording, collection, and preservation of videotaped oral testimonies of survivors and witnesses. The Archive holds 4,500 testimonies comprising over 12,000 hours of videotape, recorded in cooperation with 37 affiliate projects in North America, South America, Europe, Israel, and the former Soviet Union. The Archive advises students, scholars, museums, and educational associations; catalogs its testimonies to make them intellectually accessible; and streams educational programs of testimony excerpts from its website www.library.yale.edu/testimonies. The Archive is migrating the entire collection to digital formats for preservation and access purposes, and expects to complete this effort in 2014. The exhibit displays the history of the Fortunoff Video Archive, related items from Yale University Library collections as well as those donated by testimony donors, and works resulting from the use of the testimonies, including those by Yale students.

Wade in the Water: The Musical Life of American Civil Rights Leader Bayard
Rustin: A Celebration of the Centennial of Bayard Rustin (1910-2010)
Sterling Memorial Library, Elevator cases (opposite stacks entrance)

Recent historical accounts have credited Bayard Rustin (Hon. Yale Ph. D. 1984) with creating the pacifist strategy of the modern Civil Rights Movement (1954-1965).  Rustin’s political and philosophical contributions to American culture are little known to the American public (largely because Rustin was gay, historians now believe). Even less well known is Rustin’s life as a serious musician. Using photographs, news articles, flyers, album covers, documents, and timelines, this exhibit will indicate Rustin’s early (teen-aged) involvement with classical vocal and instrumental music, his African American choir performance, as well as his professional performing career in New York City during the late 1930s. The exhibit will also indicate the musical evolution of Rustin, raised a Quaker.  Rustin’s young singing voice drew the attention of Roland Hayes and Leopold Stokowski.  Until the end of his life, beginning in his twenties and thirties, Rustin employed his later singing voice (and sizable repertoire) to ground his presentations of the ideas of Quakerism, Thoreau, Gandhi (and the Suffragists) to audiences throughout the United States, but especially  to audiences in black churches and schools of  the American South.

Vista Sans Wood Type Project
Robert B. Haas Family Arts Library, Loria Center, 180 York Street

Artists Tricia Treacy and Ashley John Pigford are the initiators of this project that includes
letterpress prints by over 20 artists and presses, often collaboratively made. Inspired by their interest in the intersection of old and new media, Treacy and Pigford used the modern technology of a Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) router to create traditional wood type of the digital font Vista Sans, designed by Xavier Dupré for Emigré.  A set of five letters, spelling “touch,” was sent to the various participants, along with a set of paper. These basic elements and the medium of letterpress printing are the common factors among the prints. The resulting portfolio shows the wide variety of work being produced by letterpress in the contemporary book arts world. The exhibition features the prints in the Vista Sans Wood Type Project portfolio and one set of the actual wood type.

Staging History, Making History: The Yale School of Drama
Robert B. Haas Family Arts Library, Loria Center, 180 York Street

Great theater is both timely and timeless, speaking about the present while making sense of the past and remaining relevant into the future. This exhibition traces how events in world history have shaped the history of the Yale School of Drama from its beginnings in 1925 to the present day. From air raids to AIDS benefits, political provocations to world premieres by major international playwrights, the School’s history and its intersections are reflected in Arts Library Special Collections holdings of scripts, programs, posters, and other archival materials.

Modernist Media: The Peter Eisenman Collection at Yale
Beinecke Library, 190 Wall Street

Assembled by the prominent architect in the 1960s and 1970s, the Peter Eisenman Collection of Modernism in Architecture, Design, and the Fine Arts encompasses avant-garde publications from across the European Continent, with a primary focus on the classics of high modernism. The exhibition will explore the creative use of print media—magazines, exhibition catalogs, manifestos, and so forth—to disseminate modernist ideas and sustain modernist experimentation in contexts ranging from fascist Italy to the Soviet Union.

Descriptions of Literature: Texts and Contexts in the Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas Papers
Beinecke Library, 190 Wall Street

Celebrating the recent publication of several new editions of Gertrude Stein’s work, “Descriptions of Literature” explores Stein’s creative process and writing life as documented in materials drawn from the extraordinarily rich Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas Papers housed in the Yale Collection of American Literature. The exhibition considers Stein’s work in various genres, including poetry, fiction, plays, essays, and writing for children, tracing the evolution of key works; additionally, the exhibition reveals something of the environment in which these works were created, from the domestic life Stein shared with Alice B. Toklas, her muse, publisher, companion, and caretaker to her creative interactions with fellow artists and writers Pablo Picasso, Thornton Wilder, Carl Van Vechten, and others. The exhibition offers a portrait of Stein’s life and creative process represented in manuscript drafts, notebooks, typescripts, correspondence, photographs, books and printed materials, and personal effects.
