CES News

To UNC Faculty: Message from John Stephens, CES Director

Dear CES faculty affiliates at UNC-CH: The Center for Global Initiatives maintains a database of our campus international expertise. The database can help you connect with colleagues across campus and around the world, and it is important to CES as we draw from this database for our grant proposals and research projects. The Center staff and I are now hard at work on our Title VI grant application, which requires short CVs of all faculty and staff with European expertise. We can download this information from the Database of Faculty with International Expertise.

If you include an international perspective in your teaching or research or if you have international experiences, you should be profiled in the database. However, we need to ensure that your profile is current, especially in terms of research and publications. I ask that you take a minute to update it. At the site (www.unc.edu/fie), click the 'login' button near the top right corner of the screen and on the next page enter your UNC onyen and password. In most cases, such an update will only require posting your recent publications.

I encourage you to explore this database to appreciate the depth of international expertise at UNC and hope that it is a useful resource for your own work. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.

North Carolina German Studies Seminar: The Concept of "Otherness"

Sunday, November 15, 2009 | 6:00 - 8:00pm | Institute for the Arts & Humanities, Hyde Hall, UNC-Chapel Hill
As part of the North Carolina German Studies Seminar & Workshop Series, Claudia A. Becker (NC Central University, Department of Modern Foreign Languages, German Studies) will present a seminar on The Concept of 'Otherness' in The Emigrants by W.G. Sebald and Heimat by Edgar Reitz.

This presentation will compare and contrast the processes that are involved in deciphering the literary and filmic representations and conceptualizations of images of 'otherness' in the four portraits of "Verschollene", i.e. 'individuals that one has not heard from/of for a longer time' in The Emigrants by W.G. Sebald and the characters that are perceived as 'they' rather than 'we' within the literary microcosms that are constructed by the respective narrators ("Geschichtenerzähler"). Further, an attempt will be made to analyze the reasons and describe the linguistic components in terms of word choices made to depict those individuals who do not belong any more and/or have been excluded by their peer group/s.

Introduction and moderation by Richard Langston (UNC-Chapel Hill, Department of Germanic Languages and Literature). Please register with Philipp Stelzel (stelzel@email.unc.edu) in a timely fashion. Refreshments will be served at 6pm; the seminar will begin at 6:30pm.

For more information, please visit www.unc.edu/ncgs/seminars.html. Cosponsored by the Center for European Studies.

Workshop: Fall of the Wall, Twenty Years After

Thursday, October 29, 2009 | 4:00 - 8:00pm | UNC Institute for the Arts and Humanities, Hyde Hall
Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, this workshop explores causes and consequences of this truly historical moment by looking at the revolutionary process itself and its cultural manifestations. The night of November 9th, 1989, was one of disbelief in the media images, exuberant joy, great expectations and some subdued fears of what was to come after 40 years of geopolitical certainties. “Now grows together what belongs together” was Willy Brandt’s dictum. What seemed only natural to most Germans didn’t seem so to most of their neighbors. The German Question that had appeared solved was suddenly on the table again, and it had to be settled in a wider context of further European integration. The fall of the wall was the symbolic and real culmination of an Eastern European rebellion against Soviet hegemony that had repercussions for Europe as a whole. It marked an end of the East West conflict and beginning of the political and economic transformation of the former East bloc.

This workshop looks at the wider societal implications of these revolutionary events from the perspectives of various disciplines. Panel presentations focus on the revolutionary transformation itself, on how these developments have been reflected in literature and even gave rise to a new genre – the “Wenderoman”, as well as on the nexus between democracy and revolution in Eastern Europe. A roundtable will look at the consequences of unification from a literary, historical and political science angle, and bring together participants with personal experiences from East and West Germany, as well as the US, to assess how much the two parts have grown together, how far apart they still stand, and whether this reflects a wider East-West European experience.

For details, please visit http://www.unc.edu/ncgs/nextworkshop.html. View the publicity flyer: www.unc.edu/ncgs/main/flyer/mauerfall.pdf. Email Philipp Stelzel to register: stelzel@email.unc.edu.

K-12 Schools & Community Colleges

Euro Economics: A New Educational Resource

The Euro Economics website (www.unc.edu/depts/europe/euroeconomics/) is an online "textbook" intended as an introduction to economics written through the lens of the European Union. The European Union is a collection of 27 European member states, 16 of which are economically interlinked through the use of a single currency, the euro, making the EU an ideal starting point for learning the principles of economics.

For teachers this site can act as an introduction or a refresher to economics, to incorporate economics concepts and material into your classes.

For students this site can provide a jumping off point for learning about economics, either on your own or ideally in a study group.

Motivated teachers and students may be interested in participating in the Euro Challenge competition. Please see the announcement below.

Euro Economics was developed by the European Union Center of Excellence at UNC-Chapel Hill.

Euro Challenge Competition

Welcome to the Euro Challenge 2010 – an exciting educational opportunity for high school students (grades 9 & 10) to learn about the European Union (EU) – the largest trading partner of the US – and its single currency, the euro. The competition is also an excellent opportunity for NC teachers, as teachers enlisting a team in the Euro Challenge are eligible to win a free trip to Brussels next summer. Now in its fifth year, the Euro Challenge is designed to appeal to students with a background in global studies, economics, world history/geography or European studies.

The competition aims to:

• Support local learning standards related to global studies and economics
• Foster economic and financial literacy and understanding of economic policy issues
• Increase students’ knowledge and understanding of the European Union and the euro
• Develop communication, critical thinking and cooperative skills

The Competition

Each team of 3-5 students must make a 15-minute presentation describing the current economic situation in the euro area and analyzing a specific economic challenge in a country of their choice. Teams then answer questions from a distinguished panel of judges. Preliminary rounds are held in each of the participating regions, and the regional winners advance to the semifinal and final rounds held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Cash prizes for the top teams are generously provided by The Moody's Foundation.

Check out www.euro-challenge.org for training videos, research materials, and web resources.

Internships

DAAD Bundestag Internship

EMGIP (Émigré Memorial German Internship Program) offers internship opportunities for U.S. and Canadian students in the German parliament, the Bundestag. The internships are 2 months long in positions matching the student’s interest and experience. Interns will be placed within the Verwaltung, preferably with a Sekretariat working for their preferred Ausschuss. Aside from contributing to the respective offices, interns have the opportunity to study legislative and administrative procedures in the German parliament.

Program Objectives:
DAAD programs are helping to create good will and professional relationships that will help build a solid basis for relations between Germany and North America. EMGIP Internships were founded in 1965 by Professors Louise Holborn and George Romoser with the assistance of many scholars of German affairs, especially in the social sciences and contemporary history, and with the financial and planning aid of various German offices also interested in encouraging the development of future generations of German experts. In view of the contributions of German émigrés, the experiential program was named Émigré Memorial German Internship Program.

EU Bookshop Digital Library Goes Live

12 million scanned pages in more than 110 000 EU publications are available free of charge for download in the EU Bookshop Digital Library. Launched at the Frankfurt Book Fair on October 16th, it offers all publications edited by the Publications Office on behalf of the EU institutions, agencies and other bodies since 1952.

The Publications Office's archives have long represented a veritable treasure trove of European history. Publications such as the address delivered by Mr. Jean Monnet, President of the High Authority before the Common Assembly at the first session of September 1952 or the General Report on the activities of the Community in French from 1953 can once again see the virtual light of day through the Publications Office Digital Library. New publications are added every day. In the words of Leonard Orban, Commissioner for multilingualism: “The digital library frees the memory of the European Union tied to paper since its beginning. The millions of pages now accessible to everyone in the 23 official languages demonstrate the continued commitment of the European Union to preserve and encourage the history of the Union in its linguistic diversity.”

The Publications Office Digital Library was a response to a growing demand to digitise out-of-print publications. In 2007, the Publications Office launched a PDF-on-demand service, wherein users could request publications to be retrieved from the archives and scanned as needed. The demand was so high that within six months the service was saturated. To better serve the users, it was decided to scan the industrial volumes of the entire archive.

The result – less than two years later – is an electronic library of more than 14 million pages of web-optimised PDFs available to the public free of charge. It consists of the 12 million scanned pages of historic publications and about 2 million pages of recent publications. At the rate of 1600 new publications per year, EU Bookshop is a valuable information source for citizens, journalists, education professionals, students, librarians, publishers, and anybody interested in Europe, in about 50 languages, including the possibility of ordering printed copies.

You can access the Digital Library by selecting the option “Digital Library” in the search pages of the EU Bookshop: http://bookshop.europa.eu/.

South Asia Film Festival: Amar Akbar Anthony

Wednesday, October 28, 2009 | 6:30 - 9:30pm | FedEx Global Education Center, Nelson Mandela Auditorium
"Amar Akbar Anthony" (1977) stars Amitabh Bachchan; Vinod Khanna; Rishi Kapoor; Neetu Singh; Shabana Azmi and is directed by Manmohan Desai. The fantastic plot about three brothers separated at birth and raised in three different religions becomes a comedic allegory of national integration in India.

Released after censorship restrictions were lifted by a more liberal Indian government, Amar Akbar Anthony indulged audiences in a story with loose morals and visual excitement. The Chinese box of a narrative is essentially a comedy of errors concerning three brothers, Amar, Akbar, and Anthony. Abandoned in a park by their father, the three are raised separately and without knowledge of each other. By coincidence they all find themselves giving blood to a woman in a hospital and events stemming from this encounter bring them together. All three meet women who they fall in love with, but when their father, who unbeknownst to them has become a successful smuggler, kidnaps one of the women, all three become implicated in the struggle for her release. At the end of the film, the identities of the three are revealed, the police reveal that the smuggler is their father, and they manage to defeat a variety of criminal elements. The film closes with the brothers reunited, driving off into the sunset with their women.

Part of the South Asia Film Festival.

Manga for Girls: Girls' Culture, Girls' Sexuality, and Sho-jo Manga

Thursday, October 29, 2009 | 5:30pm | FedEx Global Education Center, Nelson Mandela Auditorium
Jennifer Prough of Valparaiso University will present a lecture entitled Manga for Girls: Girls' Culture, Girls' Sexuality, and Sho-jo Manga. Sho-jo manga are Japanese comics for girls. This definition reverberated throughout Dr. Prough's research in Japan on the production of mainstream girls' manga. It was broadcast through the proliferation of pastel and glitter, hearts and stars, and doe-eyed cuties which populate the pages of most sho-jo manga magazines; and it peppered conversations with editors, artists, and scholars about the history, aesthetics, and production of girls' comics in millennial Japan. In this talk Dr. Prough will examine the construction of gender in mainstream sho-jo manga and the relationship between sho-jo manga and wider representations of girls in contemporary Japan.

Arabic Music and Film Series: Rana's Wedding

Thursday, October 29, 2009 | 7:00 - 9:00pm | FedEx Global Education Center, Room 3024
Shooting on location in East Jerusalem, Ramallah and at checkpoints in-between, Palestinian director Hany Abu-Assad (Ford Transit) sees the Palestinian-Israeli conflict through the eyes of a young woman who, with only ten hours to marry, must negotiate her way around roadblocks, soldiers, stonethrowers, overworked officials ... and into the heart of an elusive lover.

This timely feature that explores love among the ruins of an occupied territory was presented with the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival's 2003 Nestor Almendros Prize for courage in filmmaking. According to Abu-Assad, "when the abnormalities of barriers and occupation become an everyday reality, normal things like love and marriage turn into fiction. This is life in Palestine right now. I wanted to challenge it through cinema."

Winner of the Best Actress award at the 2002 Marrakesh International Film Festival (for Clara Khoury's affecting performance), Rana's Wedding premiered during the 2002 International Critic's Week at Cannes and has been a festival favorite in Palm Springs, Montreal, Rio de Janeiro, Cairo and London.

Organized by the Arabic Program at UNC-Chapel Hill. For more information contact Doria ElKerdany (elkerdan@email.unc.edu) or Charles Joukhadar (cjoukhad@email.unc.edu).
