Art, Again
Tue Sep 20, 2011, 6:30pm | The James Gallery
Conversation: Bernard Stiegler, Kyoo Lee
How does time relate to the production, collection, and circulation of aesthetic objects, especially in this era of global techno-capitalism? Join Bernard Steigler, renowned French philosopher and Director of the Institut de recherche et d'innovation (IRI) at the Centre Georges-Pompidou for a conversation about the material ontology of art and why it matters. He will be joined by discussant Kyoo Lee (Philosophy, John Jay College of Criminal Justice).
They will explore inquiries such as, if “technics is unthought,” as Bernard Stiegler argued in his field-defining trilogy,Technics and Time (La technique et le temps, I-III, 1994-2001), how are we to rethink that technical “thing” along with its oddly self-destructive logic of industry? And why do we continue to produce “stuff,” no matter what?
Back & Forth / Poetry & Jazz
Fri Sep 23, 2011, 4:00pm | The Skylight Room (9100)
Conversation & Performance: David Meltzer, Marty Ehrlich, Ammiel Alcalay
Join the one and only David Meltzer (then youngest poet included in Donald Allen's groundbreaking New American Poetry) in a rare New York appearance as he trades vocal/musical riffs with renowned saxophonist/clarinetist Marty Ehrlich. After performing, they will be joined by poet, CUNY professor, and Lost & Found editor Ammiel Alcalay in conversation followed by open discussion with the audience. David Meltzer's recent When I Was A Poet, Number Sixty in the legendary Pocket Poets Series from City Lights will be available.

QC Campus and 9/11 Anniversary
From QC President James L. Muyskens:
As we approach the tenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, the Queens College community is preparing several events to commemorate that tragic time.
On Wednesday, September 7 during free hour (12:15-1:30 pm), the college will hold a memorial service on the Quad near Klapper Circle. The service will include several speakers and a performance by the Aaron Copland School of Music Brass Ensemble. The Quad will be decorated with over 3000 American flags provided by the Student Association. In case of rain, the service will be held on the fourth floor of the Student Union.
On Wednesday, September 21 during free hour, the Asian/American Center will sponsor a forum featuring the Asian Literary Journal's special issue on the tenth anniversary of 9/11. This event will be held in the Campbell Dome.
Finally, during September the Queens College Media Center will have several films about 9/11 available for viewing, including Caught in the Crossfire: Arab Americans in Wartime, Fahrenheit 9/11, House of Saud, and Meeting Osama Bin Laden. For more information on these and other films, go to http://qcpages.qc.edu/library/information/news.php#911.
I hope you will take advantage of these events and resources as our nation reflects on a tragic time in our recent history.
