Lafayette has been selected to offer a Tournees Festival for the second consecutive year. Funded through a grant from the French Cultural Services (FACE), the festival is part of an initiative to help bring contemporary French cinema to college and university campuses across the US. This year's selection of films includes an array of genres from documentaries to dramas, co-productions that represent the Francophone world, as well as films by directors ranging from unique new voices to established figures.

A short discussion will follow each screening. For the full list of dates and places, go to: http://sites.lafayette.edu/tourneesfilmfest/2009-schedule/

An exhibition marking the 150th anniversary, on November 24, of the publication of Charles Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species," is comprised of three related sections. In "A Habit of Deciding Influence" are 18 photographs of Darwin’s pigeon specimens at the Natural History of London/Tring. Darwin took up the study of domesticated pigeons in 1855 and his observations of artificial selection in pigeon breeding was invaluable to his understanding of the way species change in natural environments. 2)"Coop" is a mixed-media installation based on Darwin’s five-sided pigeon coop. 3)"Frameworks of Absence: The Extinct Birds of John James Audubon” includes 10 altered prints from “Birds of America.”

The film opens in France, in 1641. The Scotsman Klan McCullen has been accused of selling weaponry to both the Scots and French. Rather than being executed for treason, the jury brands his face with a white-hot mask in order to humiliate him. In the near future, weapons expert James McCullen (Christopher Eccleston) has created a nanotechnology-based weapon capable of destroying an entire city. His company MARS sells four warheads to NATO, and the U.S. Army is tasked with delivering the warheads. Duke (Channing Tatum) and Ripcord (Marlon Wayans) are delivering the warheads when they are ambushed by the Baroness (Sienna Miller), who Duke recognized to be his ex-fiancee Ana Lewis. Duke and Ripcord are rescued by Scarlett (Rachel Nichols), Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and Heavy Duty (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje).

The artwork in this exhibition represents collaboration between students and faculty in the art and computer science departments through the Emergent Patterns project, exploring the complex patterns and processes that can emerge in visual structures. They worked with software programs to produce different forms of recurring, natural patterns. These organic structures and patterns were then combined in layers of transparent surfaces. The multiple-layered works allow the viewer to see the evolutionary track back through the surface to the less complex visual systems from which the final image emerges.

Nonlinear Optics: from molecules to materials to devices

Local author Sung J. Woo will discuss and sign copies of his debut novel, EVERYTHING ASIAN on Wednesday Nov. 4 @ 7 pm, room 329 Pardee Hall.

Mocktar, a Nigerian peasant who lost his entire family in a terrible accident, tries to rebuild his life. He goes to Essakane, a dusty gold mine in Northeast Burkina Faso, to look for work and to forget the past that haunts him. He is quickly introduced to the small community of miners and begins working in the dangerous tunnels of the mine. Little by little, Mocktar discovers that the gold rush ended twenty years before, and the inhabitants of this wasteland manage to exist simply from force of habit. In Essakane, the life of the whole population revolves around the irrational expectation of finding gold. Hope makes them surpass the threat of the mines. Among the inhabitants, the beautiful Coumba is still courageously struggling to raise her daughter. She takes care of her alone as her husband died in the mine. As he falls in love with Coumba, he fights not only to survive, but also to provide a better future for her and her child.

In 1990, a massive star ship bearing a bedraggled alien population, nicknamed "The Prawns," appeared over Johannesburg, South Africa. Twenty years later, the initial welcome by the human population has faded. The refugee camp where the aliens were located has deteriorated into a militarized ghetto called District 9, where they are confined and exploited in squalor. In 2010, the munitions corporation, Multi-National United, is contracted to forcibly evict the population with operative Wikus van der Merwe in charge. In this operation, Wikus is exposed to a strange alien chemical and must rely on the help of his only two new 'Prawn' friends.

Evolutionary biologists have been facing problems in determining the paths of evolution due to missing or inconclusive fossil records. In the absence of conclusive data, computer simulations can be a very powerful tool in hypothesizing and testing different ideas about possible evolutionary pathways. Our research aims to study the likelihood of different alternative evolutionary pathways using digital animals. In particular, we are studying the evolution of backbone in fish. We are using a digital fish to determine the advantages that a segmented backbone provides in comparison to a notochord...

Lecture by Professor Robert Segal, Chair of Religious Studies at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland

Sponsored by Lafayette's Department of Religious Studies, through the Lyman Coleman Fund

Segal, an internationally respected authority on the history and theory of myth, will trace the changing conceptions of myth over the past few centuries. Where our forebears explained the physical world mythically, we now explain the physical world scientifically. But then a shift occurred, and myth came to be seen as almost anything but the counterpart to science. Either myth was no longer about the physical world, or the function of myth was no longer explanatory. Myth was largely removed from the physical world altogether. Having presented these opposing conceptions of myth, this lecture will take the case of Hollywood stars to argue that they are mythic figures and figures with the power to change the physical world.

Former Lafayette professor Hana Wirth-Nesher will talk on the subject of "Whose Story?: Jewish American & Israeli 'Representative' Autobiographies: The Cases of Amos Oz and Philip Roth."

A specialist on American Jewish literature, Wirth-Nesher will compare the autobiographies of these two central male writers in their respective communities and discuss how their works are representative of Israeli and Jewish American identity. Oz's autobiography "A Tale of Love and Darkness" has received many awards in Europe and in Israel. Some of the questions she will consider are: What is a majority or minority autobiography? How does readership determine these categories? And how do we arrive at the concept of a "representative life"?

The lecture will be followed by a community dinner at Hillel House, 524 Clinton Terrace. All are welcome.

The artwork in this exhibition represents collaboration between students and faculty in the art and computer science departments through the Emergent Patterns project, exploring the complex patterns and processes that can emerge in visual structures. They worked with software programs to produce different forms of recurring, natural patterns. These organic structures and patterns were then combined in layers of transparent surfaces. The multiple-layered works allow the viewer to see the evolutionary track back through the surface to the less complex visual systems from which the final image emerges.

Communist, anti-colonialist, right-wing extremist? What convictions guide the moral mind of Jacques Vergès? Barbet Schroeder takes us down history’s darkest paths in his attempt to illuminate the mystery behind this enigmatic figure. As a young lawyer during the Algerian war, Vergès espoused the anti-colonialist cause and defended Djamila Bouhired, ‘la Passionaria’, who bore her country’s hopes for freedom on her shoulders and was sentenced to death for planting bombs in cafes. He obtained her release, married her and had two children with her. Then suddenly, at the height of an illustrious career, Vergès disappeared without trace for eight years. He re-emerged from his mysterious absence, taking on the defense of terrorists of all kinds, from Magdalena Kopp and Anis Naccache to Carlos the Jackal, well-known in France as the leader of the terrorist attacks in Paris in the 80s. He also represented historical monsters such as Nazi lieutenant Klaus Barbie.

The multiple-layered works allow the viewer to see the evolutionary track back through the surface to the less complex visual systems from which the final image emerges.

Headed by Ed Kerns, Eugene H. Clapp II Professor of Art, and Chun Wai Liew, associate professor, head of computer science. Student participants included Rhodes Baker '10, computer science; Imogen Cain '12, art; Long Ho '10, mathematics and computer science; Khine Lin '11, pursing a B.S. in electrical and computer engineering and an A.B. in mathematics; and Scott Lyttle '10, art.

The residence halls will NOT close, but students are required to notify the Residence Life Office if they will be staying in their residence hall room via the designated link on the Office of Residence Life webpage.
