https://nightofphilosophyandideas.info Originally from France, a night
of philosophy and ideas is a marathon of philosophical debate,
performances, readings, and music happening overnight. Boston's first
Night of Philosophy & Ideas at Harvard University will bring together
academics from various disciplines, as well as artists, activists, and
public intellectuals to address a variety of timely questions around
this year's central theme: Being Alive. What is the good life? What
does life mean for us but also for other living creatures? What do we
owe to each other? How have recent technological changes affected the
ways in which we understand ourselves? By diving into topics as
diverse as physics, sex, greek heroes, police shootings, Darwinism,
zombies, gender equality, migration, subjectivity, slavery, and
pull-ups, we will explore life in the 21st century. The event will
also feature an art exhibition, a magic performance, poetry reading,
dance shows, art classes, meditation, screenings and a book swap. This
event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.

Pharos of Chaos

Event Date as Display String: Sunday, November 24, 2019, 7:00pm - 9:00pm Location: Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, 24 Quincy St., Cambridge URL: https://harvardfilmarchive.org/calendar/pharos-of-chaos-2019-11 Event Description: Wolf-Eckart Bühler was at work on a different film about the adventurous, seafaring Sterling Hayden (Der Havarist/The Shipwrecker) when he finally tracked down the man in person to make this frank, fascinating document. Bühler finds the semi-retired actor, war hero, occasional writer and itinerant sailor whiling away his days — frequently drunk or stoned — living on a barge in France. Bearing more than a passing resemblance to his character in Altman's "The Long Goodbye," the wild and weathered old man of the sea and out of time enjoys quoting his favorite literature and telling anecdotes until finally opening up about his alcoholism, his loneliness, his "creative impotency," and his deepest ...

HILR Intersession: Mollie Crawford-Volk: Velazquez' "Las Meninas" and its Modern Progeny

Event Date as Display String: Tuesday, January 21, 2020, 10:00am - 12:00pm Location: HILR, 34 Concord Avenue, Cambridge 02138 URL: http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/harvard-events/events-calendar/?trumbaEmbed=view%3Devent%26eventid%3D141501611 Event Description: Diego Velazquez' magisterial late work, "Las Meninas," created in 1656 near the end of his life, is universally recognized now as one of the greatest paintings in the history of western culture. Its scale, technical virtuosity, complex subject, and inclusion of the only uncontested self-portrait of the Spanish artist we have contributed decisively to its special stature. But this stature has been enormously enhanced by the number and quality of responses to the painting made by important later artists, a phenomenon that continues up to the present. Very few, if any, paintings in western art have inspired such an illustrious progeny. UID: http://uid.trumba.com/event/141501611 ...
