Shock and Awe: The Troubling Legacy of the Futurist Cult of War

One hundred years ago, F.T. Marinetti founded the Futurist movement - one of the most innovative and influential avant-gardes of the twentieth century. On the occasion of the centenary of Futurism, this symposium addresses the uneasy, if powerful, alliance of art and politics. Experts from across the humanities and social sciences ask the questions: how and why was modernism used to legitimize and celebrate modern warfare, especially dominance from the air. This symposium is a must for those interested in the use of aesthetics and visual representation in the shaping of public opinion.

For more information, please visit the Art Department website.

The Kaye Playhouse
68th Street and Lexington Avenue

In the Wake of the Half Moon: Environmental Transformation of the New York Metropolitan Region

In recognition of the quadricentennial of Henry Hudson's 1609 voyage up the Hudson River, this all day conference will examine New York City as a landmark case history in environmental sustainability. The conference will trace the arc of the region's profound environmental changes, from its pristine beginnings to its nadir near 1900 to today's surprising (but still incomplete) recovery and into the future and 500th anniversary of the voyage in 2109.

For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit www.acteva.com/go/CISC or contact Carina Molnar at either cmolnar@hunter.cuny.edu or (212) 650-3456.
