SUMMARY:The Group of Seven…Eight…Nine...Who Got Lost in the Northern Woods?
DESCRIPTION:(both in-person & Zoom\, 6 sessions)\nInstructor: Kathleen Silverman\, MacEwan University \nLight Breakfast included \nWhen you think of Canadian visual artists\, who comes to mind? You are not alone if you thought of Tom Thompson and the Group of Seven. This cohort of painters came together to develop distinctly Canadian art to express the nation and its people. But while their pristine\, untamed\, empty wilderness works were exhibited and marketed to embody a Canadian identity\, who and what was missing? In this lecture series\, we will briefly examine the art of the Group of Seven\, followed by a more in-depth exploration of the art of some of the group’s unheralded contemporaries\, including women artists\, Indigenous artists\, and those from other regions of the country.

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.

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.
