SUMMARY:Persuading the Undergraduates that Pride & Prejudice—and sometimes Emma—Were Not Just Dumb Girlie Books
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Eileen Conway (in-person course) Fee: Members $75 | Non-Members $95\nEileen Conway\, a retired Anglican clergywoman\, taught English at the University of Alberta for almost twenty years\, chiefly to freshmen. This task happily often involved “Persuading the Undergraduates that Pride & Prejudice—and sometimes Emma—Were Not Just Dumb Girlie Books.” Quite often\, happily\, she succeeded.\nIn this fall’s course at the Centre\, we’ll look at all the six novels completed in Austen’s lifetime. The order will be: Northanger Abbey\, Sense & Sensibility\, Mansfield Park\, Emma\, Persuasion\, and Pride & Prejudice. You might want to start now!\nOur starting point will be the hypothesis that a novel is not a treatise\, but a dialogue between author and reader. And a “a good time will be had by all!

SUMMARY:A World Tour of Impressionist Collections
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Kathleen Silverman (in-person course)Fee: Members $64 (including light breakfast) | Non-Members $84\nIn the 19th century\, the Impressionists broke the rules of academic painting with their ‘new’ small\, fleeting brushstrokes and desire to capture scenes from ordinary life. Their work was far from ordinary\, and the Impressionists had influence worldwide. Critics panned their work for its unfinished appearance\, and supporters praised its modernity. More than water lilies and bridges! Join us as we explore Impressionist collections from galleries in Europe\, Australia\, Asia\, and North America to see what all the fuss was about.

SUMMARY:Beethoven: The Giant who stood astride the Century Change
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Dr. Michael Roeder (in-person course) \nFee: Members $75 | Non-Members $95 \nBeethoven was a child of late 18th-century Classicism in music\, but he transformed the style of Haydn and Mozart into something more urgent\, more striving\, more powerful\, and even more peaceful. These Romantic qualities emerged as he created one expressive masterpiece after the other. His influence on 19th-Century composers was so strong as to be inescapable.  \nBeethoven’s career is usually divided into three periods based on changes in his style. These changes coincide with important events in his life. We will highlight aspects of Beethoven’s biography and explore a variety of works from each period. Among works to be encountered are the “Moonlight” Sonata\, Symphony No. 1\, The Eroica Symphony\, The “Kreutzer” Sonata for Piano and Violin\, String Quartets\, The “Pathetique” and “Appassionata” Sonatas\, Symphonies 5 and 9\, and Piano Concerto No. 4. As usual\, we will experience outstanding performances via video and audio recordings.

SUMMARY:Beethoven: The Giant who stood astride the Century Change
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Dr. Michael Roeder (in-person course) \nFee: Members $75 | Non-Members $95 \nBeethoven was a child of late 18th-century Classicism in music\, but he transformed the style of Haydn and Mozart into something more urgent\, more striving\, more powerful\, and even more peaceful. These Romantic qualities emerged as he created one expressive masterpiece after the other. His influence on 19th-Century composers was so strong as to be inescapable.  \nBeethoven’s career is usually divided into three periods based on changes in his style. These changes coincide with important events in his life. We will highlight aspects of Beethoven’s biography and explore a variety of works from each period. Among works to be encountered are the “Moonlight” Sonata\, Symphony No. 1\, The Eroica Symphony\, The “Kreutzer” Sonata for Piano and Violin\, String Quartets\, The “Pathetique” and “Appassionata” Sonatas\, Symphonies 5 and 9\, and Piano Concerto No. 4. As usual\, we will experience outstanding performances via video and audio recordings.

SUMMARY:The Schumanns and Brahms: Love\, Tragedy\, and Music
DESCRIPTION:(in-person only\, 6 sessions)\nInstructor: Michael Roeder\, Professor Emeritus Musicology\, University of Alberta \nWe will explore music of three of the 19th century’s most important and interesting musical figures and discover how their lives were interconnected. Robert Schumann (1810-56) combined his dual interests in music and literature to create not only some of the most important music of the first half of the century\, but to found an important musical journal and to write fascinating articles for it. He married Clara Wieck (1819-96) in 1840 after a lengthy legal battle to gain permission to do so against the wishes of Clara’s father\, Schumann’s piano teacher. Clara grew from child prodigy to become one of the century’s greatest pianists and made contributions as a composer as well. Brahms (1833-97) met the Schumanns when he was twenty and played his newest piano works for them. R. Schumann\, overwhelmed by the young composer’s talent\, wrote an article for his journal calling the musical world’s attention to the young composer as “a man of destiny.” Schumann was right; Brahms went on to become one of the greatest composers of the second half of the century. However\, tragedy struck soon after their meeting and this intriguing story and accompanying music will unfold over our six sessions.

SUMMARY:Entangled Relationships: Family and Individual in Chinese Literature and Film
DESCRIPTION:(in-person only\, 6 sessions)\nInstructor: Chris Lupke\, Professor\, Faculty of Arts – East Asian Studies Dept\, University of Alberta \nLight Breakfast included \nFamilies: we all have them. Some are great. Some are not. Family relationships seem like they would be part of a universal theme in literature and cinema. But in this seminar\, as we will see\, in Chinese culture the family takes on a preeminent role that makes all notions of individual identity subservient to it. Family\, kinship\, and intergenerational relations in Chinese society have been crucial topics for over three centuries. The modern era in China has seen a complete breakdown and reconstruction of what a family is. In less than 150 years\, we have seen Chinese families change from complex\, intertwined\, webs of humans to nuclear structures separate from each other. Literature and film are wonderful examples of how this massive social phenomenon has unfolded in modern times.
