Horowitz Lecture Announced
The Joyce and ElizabethHall Center for the Humanities
Fall 1995 Communiqué
The Hall Center Communiqué is published twice a year. It circulates to humanities faculty at the University of Kansas, to humanities centers around the country, and to agencies that fund humanities programs.
Editor: Elizabeth Barnhill. Queries, responses or submissions may be directed to the Joyce and Elizabeth Hall Center for the Humanities, 211 Watkins Home, The University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045-2967; (785) 864- 4798; fax (785) 864-3884; hallcntr@ukans.edu
As I worked in this idyllic research setting, I reflected on the differences between the Center for Advanced Study and the Hall Center for the Humanities. Aside from the differences in funding and disciplinary focus, the two Centers have distinctive missions. The California institution is research- oriented, attempting to create a special sequestered environment for the benefit of the fellows who are invited to come and work there. The Hall Center also sponsors research, though it does so through a variety of means and always through proposals rather than invitations, competitions rather than awards. But the Hall Center is much more than a research institution. Or perhaps I should say, to the Hall Center fostering research involves a great many more activities than simply offering research grants. Research, the purposeful and systematic inquiry into a discipline or field of knowledge, can and should take place in public settings--such as symposia, reading groups, discussions after lectures, and seminars--as well as through solitary endeavor. Research can and should be shared publicly, whether through talks and lectures, scholarly and/or popular publication, and discussions with colleagues and students. As an integral part of a major public institution, the University of Kansas, the Hall Center takes its public mission seriously. Promoting research in and understanding of the humanities remains our goal, to be pursued in a fashion that, we hope, will have ever-widening influence on public life both on the university campus and beyond.

The Hall Center is soliciting applications for the Hall Fund for the Improvement of Teaching awards. The funds for this year's awards total approximately $11,000. Applications for grants under this program for the academic year 1996-97 are due at the Hall Center by November 1. Contact the Center for application forms and guidelines. Awards will be announced in December to facilitate careful advance planning of the projects to be supported.
Several projects funded last December are now in the planning stages. A faculty and graduate symposium, "Reconsidering Graduate Education: Pressures, Practices, Prospects," is being organized by Iris Smith (English). Open to all faculty and graduate students at the university, this symposium is designed to encourage discussion of the current crisis in graduate education, particularly in the languages and literatures, to examine its causes, and to present ideas that might help graduate programs alleviate the crisis's effects. The symposium will open on Thursday, September 7 with a 7:30 pm keynote lecture to be given by Michael Bérubé (English, University of Illinois) addressing "Professional Obligations and Academic Standards." On Friday, September 8 at 9:00 am, a lecture on "Surviving in the Worst of Times," to be presented by Herbert Lindenberger (Comparative Literature, Stanford University), will start a full day of activities. These lectures will open discussion of national economic and political pressures, while panel discussions will examine specific problems and problem-solving strategies. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss both the broader issues and specific concerns in a variety of small group discussions that will be offered during two sessions, "Causes and Contexts" at 10:30 am and "Praxis" at 3:15 pm, Sept. 8. Preregistration is required for the small groups by Friday, August 25. A full schedule and registration sheet for the small groups are available from the Hall Center.
Plans are underway to schedule an "Integrative Seminar on Curriculum Diversification" by the African and African-American Studies Program. To be held during October and November, this seminar will open discussion of the ways that a common African-centered base of knowledge might be disseminated throughout the African-American curricular offerings. Anyone interested in attending this seminar should contact Sadye Logan (Social Welfare).
Other projects underway include arranging and transcribing orchestral excerpts for cello ensemble, a project organized by Edward Laut (Music and Dance). Also, a committee of Africanist faculty, headed by Ken Lohrentz (Bibliographer for African Studies at Watson Library), has begun reviewing videocassette titles for acquisition for African studies instruction and outreach. Finally, a series of four course development workshops, co-directed by Ann Cudd (Philosophy) and John Gergacz (Business School), will explore integrating rationality theory and public policy issues into workshops or interdisciplinary courses.

The Hall Center has expanded the number of interdisciplinary faculty seminars and readings groups it sponsors. These groups meet throughout the semester; some schedules are included on the Hall Center calendar. New members for any of these groups are always welcome.
Peter Mancall (History) and Sherry Velasco (Spanish and Portuguese) have organized a new interdisciplinary seminar on the early modern world. The seminar will meet monthly and will offer innovative papers on all aspects of culture and society from 1500 to 1800. Faculty members from History of Art, History, English and Latin American Studies will present papers, which will be available in advance from the Hall Center, during the fall semester.
The Social and Economic History Seminar sponsors a series of five or six presentations by faculty and graduate students each semester in the broadly- defined area of interdisciplinary research in social and economic history. Begun seven years ago, the Seminar is presently coordinated by Joshua Rosenbloom (Economics) and Carl Strikwerda (History). Papers presented at the Seminar are available in advance from the Hall Center, and sessions of the Seminar are devoted to lively discussions of the presenter's paper. Graduate students and faculty from a wide range of departments have participated in the Seminar, including African and African American Studies, American Studies, Economics, History, Latin American Studies, Political Science, Social Welfare, Sociology, and Women's Studies.
The Feminist Reading Circle is an interdisciplinary discussion group comprised of graduate students and faculty from several departments. The Circle reads feminist literary and performance theory and also discusses the work of its own members. In previous years the Circle, then known as the Feminist Theatre Reading Group, presented two staged readings for the English Alternative Theatre. It has also co- sponsored visiting lecturers, among them Professor Mary Ellen Lamb of Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. The group was founded in 1990 by Iris Smith (English).
The Cultural Studies Reading Group, led by Philip Barnard (English) and the Rationality Reading Group, led by Ann Cudd (Philosophy) and John Gergacz (Business School) are still in the planning stages for the fall semester. Further information about these groups can be obtained from the coordinators. The Environmental Colloquium, led by Donald Worster (History), will not meet until the spring semester. In this issue...
A Kansas Humanities Council summer seminar for high school teachers, directed by William L. Andrews (Hall Center Director and Hall Distinguished Professor of American Literature), was held at the Hall Center August 7-11, 1995. "Crossing Boundaries/Making Connections: African American and American Culture" was attended by thirteen teachers from participating high schools in Kansas City, Topeka, and Wichita. The seminar is part of a larger KHC project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, which will feature first- person historical characterizations of six outstanding African Americans-- Sojourner Truth and Frederick Douglass; Ida B. Wells-Barnett and W. E. B. Du Bois; Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes--who will be represented by nationally- selected scholars to Kansas high school students later this fall and spring. The seminar provided classroom teachers an opportunity to expand their knowledge and enhance their understanding of these prominent African American figures. In this issue...

In 1996, David M. Katzman (American Studies and History) and Cheryl Lester (American Studies and English) will co-direct an NEH Summer Seminar, "Cultural Responses to African-American Migration." Twelve College Teachers will spend eight weeks at KU, examining and discussing migrants' writings, novels, poetry, art, scholarly works, and movies, exploring the cultural and historical contexts of black migration, and carrying out individual research or reading projects.
African-American migration is a defining characteristic of American life and the African-American experience, and it comprises one of the great social movements in American history. The seminar will use an interdisciplinary approach to explore African-American migration within American life and culture. It will look at the origins, development, experiences, and meaning of African-American migration from the early nineteenth century through the contemporary period. Reflecting the interests of the co-directors, the seminar will combine the approach of narrative history with cultural studies to explore the meaning of black migration in the experiences of migrants and in American life. The format builds on Katzman's successful 1990, 1992, and 1994 NEH summer seminars on African-American communities and Katzman and Lester's own work on black migration, individually and collaboratively. In 1995, both Katzman and Lester held individual NEH fellowships. In this issue...
Author of The Father: A Life of
Henry James, Sr. (Farrar, Straus and Giroux,
1994), Professor Alfred Habegger of the KU English Department received the
Byron
Caldwell Smith Award for 1995. Habegger will accept the $2,000 prize that
accompanies the award at a dinner given in his honor in September.
Twenty-eight books were submitted to the committee charged with deciding the Smith award for books published in 1993 or 1994. The committee praised Habegger's biography of Henry James, Sr., as "more than fulfilling the spirit as well as the specific criteria of the award." Widely praised in such periodicals as The New York Times Book Review and the New Republic, The Father has been appreciated for its vigorous prose and its generous documentation of the life of the head of one of nineteenth-century America's most influential intellectual families. Habegger has also been singled out for enriching our understanding of the development, both emotional and intellectual, of "the father's" two most famous sons, the psychologist William James and the novelist Henry James.
The Byron Caldwell Smith award is presented biennially to the author of a work of scholarship or creative literature that possesses "originality and superiority in conception and execution, and of taste, proportion and outstanding scholarship." The award was established at the bequest of Kate Stephens, a former KU student and the university's first woman professor. As an undergraduate at KU, Stephens learned to love the study of Greek language and literature from Professor Byron Caldwell Smith, who at age 24 became the youngest member of the faculty in 1872. Stephens received her Master of Arts degree at KU and was a leader in the women's rights and suffrage movements. Professor Stephens taught Greek language and literature at KU from 1878 to 1885.

In recognition of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the American film, the Hall Center is sponsoring a faculty mini-course on February 6, 13, 20 and 27, 1996. "The American Cine-Century: Mapping a Medium" will complement prior Hall Center mini-courses by exploring common cultural and cross-disciplinary issues as focused through the prism of Film Studies. Presentations will provide faculty participants with a survey of some of the key critical, theoretical and methodological concerns confronting the discipline.
Although staking historical "firsts" is a generally tentative undertaking, scholars agree that the first notable commercial exhibition of projected motion pictures took place on April 23, 1896 at Koster and Bial's Music Hall in New York City. In the years ensuing, film and its electronic offspring have evolved into the century's dominant mode of art, entertainment, and information. If the 20th Century can be constructively viewed as "The American Century," it is similarly appropriate to consider the past 100 years as "The American Cine- Century," an era culminating in the global domination of American culture and enterprise, largely through the popular media of film and video.
In presentations by four members of the Film Faculty in the Department of Theatre and Film, the mini-course, to be held on Tuesdays from 3:30-5:30pm, will provide an overview of the impact of the American film. Additionally, it will scan the Film Studies discipline, its basic concerns and methods, and its future prospects. Preregistration will be required.
Session I, "The American Cine-Century: A Historic Overview," will be facilitated by Chuck Berg, Coordinator of Film Studies. It will attempt to chart some of the larger trends in the history of the American film as well as the academic discourse that has developed in response to film's significant cultural, economic and ideological influence. (February 6, 1996)
Session II, "From the Heuristic Margin: Seven Decades of Experimental Film/Video," will be based on ideas explored in Edward Small's recent book, Direct Theory. Small will argue that the experimental genre can be viewed as a mode of "direct theory" without the intervention of a separate semiotic system such as spoken or written language. (February 13, 1996)
Session III, "Responding to Hollywood: Films from the Other America," presented by Catherine Preston, will look at the production of films in Latin America as a political and aesthetic response to Hollywood's cultural imperialism. Included will be an examination of the theory and practice of the "Third Cinema" movement which grew out of the social and economic transformations of Latin America during the 1950s and 1960s. (February 20, 1996).
Session IV, "How Conventional is the Classical Hollywood Cinema?," based on Joseph Anderson's forthcoming The Reality of Illusion: An Ecological Approach to Cognitive Film Theory, will argue for a new film studies paradigm based in cognitive science. Anderson will argue that some Hollywood "conventions," by meeting requirements of the human perceptual system, allow universal access to the classical Hollywood cinema. (February 27, 1996) In this issue...
The demand for books, journals and other library materials has been increasing rapidly at KU as at other research libraries across the United States. One indication of this demand has been the growth of interlibrary loan requests. Although it has always been true that no library can collect everything that its patrons might need, certain important trends account for this growth. Publishing output is exploding worldwide. Electronic access to citations is making it easier for scholars to identify the materials they need. Price increases and unfavorable exchange rates, coupled with nearly static library acquisition budgets, have resulted in serials cancellations and fewer book purchases at most libraries. Finally, scholars have come to expect that libraries will be able to provide easy and rapid access to materials and information resources from all over the world.
To respond to this demand and provide faster delivery of books, journal articles and other materials not owned by the KU Libraries, interlibrary loan services have been changing for some time. Many articles now are faxed or transmitted to and from KU in digitized form over the Internet. Use of commercial courier services such as Pony Express and Federal Express promotes expedited delivery of books. Although most of the items that scholars request can be obtained only from other libraries, commercial "document suppliers" are now offering fast delivery of many journal articles. One such supplier is UnCover, a document delivery and table of contents alert service now in use at several other research universities in the United States. UnCover offers an electronic database which contains over five million articles published since 1988 in almost 17,000 journals. Later this fall, the staff of the KU Libraries will introduce UnCover to the KU community as one means of improving document delivery to KU researchers.
On a trial basis this year, the Libraries will offer subsidized online ordering of articles from KU UnCover. KU faculty and graduate students will be able independently to order, free of charge (as continues to be true for requests to Interlibrary Services), articles from journals not owned by the Libraries, up to a limit of $30 per article--the average cost across all research libraries of each interlibrary loan transaction. The Libraries will also offer no charge subscriptions to UnCover Reveal, a table of contents e-mail alert service, to anyone with an e- mail account that ends in "ukans.edu." KU faculty will receive an issue of the Libraries' News Brief announcing the start of KU UnCover, scheduled for early October. From this new service, the staff of the Libraries expect to learn much about KU faculty and student needs and to use that knowledge in continuing to pursue ways of delivering information as quickly and easily as possible.

On Monday, October 23 from 3-5 pm, the Center will sponsor a panel on "Border Maneuvers: Topo-graphical/Cultural/Aesthetic/Conceptual." Panelists will include Juan Velasco (Latin American Studies and Spanish and Portuguese), Marie Aquilino (Art History), Sandra Gray (Anthropology), and Maria Velasco (Fine Arts), who will explore uses of recent border theory in their disciplines and their own work, including, respectively, borders in Chicano literature and culture; 19th-century Paris and the intellectual borders that create concepts of city space; nomadic pastoralists in East Africa and their negotiation of cultural and political borders; and installation art pieces on border themes. Vicky Unruh (Spanish and Portuguese) will moderate the session, which will include time for audience discussion. In this issue...
The Hall Center Travel Grants selection committee has awarded $5,000 for the period July 1, 1995 to December 31, 1995. These awards provide funds for Lisa M.
