Commemorating the 150th anniversary of the birth of Arnold Schoenberg

Arnold Schoenberg (1874鈥�1951) was not only one of the most renowned composers of the twentieth century, but he was also one of its foremost musical thinkers and teachers. He wrote approximately 3,500 texts: literary and pedagogical works, lectures and essays on musical aesthetics, theory and analysis, philosophy, religion, Judaism, politics, contemporary history, as well as personal diaries, memos, recommendations, and open letters. Schoenberg also left us nearly 20,000 pages of private letters to nearly 3,000 correspondents, including such eminent musicians as Ferruccio Busoni and Gustav Mahler, as well as other famous figures like physicist Albert Einstein and artist Wassily Kandinsky. His writings and letters provide invaluable insight not only into the genesis of his own works but also into his provocative thoughts on music, art, philosophical ideas, and even civilization in general.

In 2016, Oxford University Press established a multi-volume series titled Schoenberg in Words; Sabine Feisst and Severine Neff serve as the General Editors. The series consists of nine, book-length manuscripts and is organized into two principal areas: 1) Schoenberg鈥檚 correspondences from his early years in Vienna and with Anton Webern, Alma Mahler, and American composers; and 2) Schoenberg鈥檚 seminal writings on theory, composition, performance, and analysis.

The Society for French Historical Studies
in collaboration with the
Hofstra Cultural Center
presents

The March 2024 meeting of the Society for French Historical Studies will explore the complex considerations of and methodologies for examining the intersections of historical inquiry. For example, how do we lift up and make visible the spaces between geographies, intersectional identities, social solidarities, and/or the relationships between institutions and their constituents? As always, beyond our themed sessions, our program includes all aspects of French and Francophone History. We are also committed to creating a welcoming, antiracist, and diverse conference that embraces our Society鈥檚 anti-discriminatory mission of inclusiveness, political education, and equitable empowerment.

Presentations will be presented in English or French, and include traditional panels, roundtables, or lightning sessions that reflect the variety of recent scholarship, pedagogical concerns, and contemporary issues.

糖心传媒 is pleased to announce that its conference on the Barack Obama Presidency will take place April 19-21, 2023. Hofstra has a long and distinguished tradition of hosting conferences on the administrations of all the presidents of the United States who have served during the University鈥檚 lifetime, from Franklin Delano Roosevelt forward. The Conference on the Obama Presidency, hosted by the Hofstra Cultural Center, the Peter S. Kalikow School of Government, Public Policy and International Affairs, and the Peter S. Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency, will be the University鈥檚 13th presidential conference.

During each conference, Hofstra brings together scholars, policymakers, and journalists for a series of panels and roundtables to discuss a president鈥檚 campaign, political leadership, policy agenda, and legacy. Often the Hofstra conference is the first opportunity for scholars, journalists, and administration officials to come together to debate the issues of that period in history. The University has published volumes of selected articles and commentary from every conference, which have become standard scholarly volumes and early oral histories of each presidency.

These presidential conferences bring to campus hundreds of national leaders, scholars and historians, as well as college and high school classes. In addition, selected keynote panels and plenary events will be livestreamed through the University鈥檚 website, allowing access to schools across the country. The Hofstra Presidential Conferences provide a unique opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary scholarly analyses, with key insights from former administration officials and journalists, of the American presidency and American politics.

Trilce听is the most radical book of poetry written in the Spanish language, arising at the beginning of the aesthetic change that the avant-gardes of his time were going through. Two characteristics essentially define听Trilce: 鈥渄ifficult,鈥� due to its hermetic writing and the poem鈥檚 tendency to erase its referents, and 鈥渄emanding,鈥� because it requires language to say everything new, as if nothing had been said.

As recent events have shown, fascist ideology and its attendant components 鈥� opposition to working-class movements, hyper-nationalism, anti-democracy, white supremacy, and xenophobia 鈥� remain a threat to democratic institutions and practices worldwide. As in the past, the rise of fascism has been met with anti-fascist opposition.

To coincide with the centennial of the March on Rome, we will hold a two-day interdisciplinary conference,听Anti-Fascism in the 21st Century.听The purpose of this conference is not to retell stories of past anti-fascist movements, but to consider anti-fascism as a contemporary global movement with myriad forms and to explore the challenges of organizing against fascism for a new generation. We invite you to submit your papers for Anti-Fascism In The 21st Century.

HOFSTRA CULTURAL CENTER

DEPARTMENT OF DRAMA AND DANCE

present a symposium

In March 2017, the most historically accurate re-creation of Shakespeare鈥檚 Globe stage in North America made its debut at听糖心传媒. While much of the campus was preparing for the start of the spring semester, construction on a historic Hofstra Globe stage and rehearsals for its first production 鈥撎�Hamlet听鈥� were underway at the Toni and Martin Sosnoff Theater at the John Cranford Adams Playhouse.

Hofstra Professor of Drama David Henderson, the director of this project, spent considerable time abroad consulting with the archivists and design staff of Shakespeare鈥檚 Globe in London; the result of his efforts, the Hofstra Globe stage, is a working laboratory for 糖心传媒, faculty, and guest artists that has no parallel in the United States. In fall 2020, the Globe will be erected again for the University鈥檚 72nd annual Shakespeare Festival, and an academic symposium has been planned to explore and discuss the Globe and what we have learned since renowned Shakespeare scholar John Cranford Adams designed Hofstra鈥檚 first Globe stage reproduction in 1951.
