Mislim da sam nasao nacin za najbolje distribuiranje prezentacija:

Tu ja mogu da kacim sve prezentacije koje mi posaljete, a isto mislim da je to bolje od toga da svi sve svima saljemo preko maila, FBa ili kako god...
Ako neko ima neki bolji predlog ili sugestiju ili sta god, javite mi...
Ako ne, tj. ako se slazete sa ovim, isto mi javite da znam sta mislite i saljite mi prezentacije da mogu da ih kacim...
Za sada ima samo moja iz Desire Under the Elms, cekam da mi ona dva momka koja su radila prosli utorak posalju svoje i to je to za sada...

Whitman week 2010

Announcing International Whitman Week 2010

INTERNATIONAL WHITMAN WEEK 2010
SEMINAR AND SYMPOSIUM

Università di Macerata, Macerata, Italy, 14-20 June, 2010

The Transatlantic Walt Whitman Association (TWWA), founded in Paris in 2007, invites students, researchers, and Whitman enthusiasts to participate in its third annual Whitman Week, consisting of a seminar for advanced students interested in Whitman and Whitman’s poetry, and a symposium bringing together international scholars and graduate students.

------------------------
International Whitman Seminar: Walt Whitman’s Poetry in the 21st Century

Università di Macerata

Walt Whitman’s poetry, written in the nineteenth century, continues to have a strong impact on literatures and cultures worldwide. Every year new editions of Whitman’s work are published in a variety of languages; an ever-expanding group of poets “reply” to him in their poetry; his poems are set to music and are quoted in films; he is invoked in the discussion of political and cultural issues as well as of gender and sexuality; and he continues to be a huge presence in college and university curricula globally.

In order to respond adequately to this international phenomenon The Transatlantic Walt Whitman Association sponsors a series of International Whitman Seminars, where students from different countries come together for intensive, credit-bearing classes taught by an international team of Whitman specialists.

The first seminar was held in Dortmund, Germany, in June 2008. The second took place in Tours, France, in June 2009. The third will take place in Macerata, Italy, on 14-20 June 2010. In the regular classes, focusing on some of Whitman’s major poems, students will have an opportunity confront Whitman’s books, share their readings of key poems and clusters, and discuss Whitman’s attempts at a multilingual English, his cohesive representation of human relations, and his work’s international significance in the twenty-first century. In addition, there will be special presentations on the reception of Whitman in various countries and languages as well as other topics. This year’s instructors will be Éric Athenot (Université François-Rabelais, Tours), translator of the 1855 Leaves and author of Walt Whitman, poète-cosmos; Betsy Erkkila (Northwestern University), author of Walt Whitman among the French and Walt Whitman the Political Poet; Kenneth M. Price (University of Nebras
ka, Lincoln), co-founder and editor of the Walt Whitman Archive, author of To Walt Whitman, America; and Andrew Lawson (Leeds Metropolitan University), author of Walt Whitman and the Class Struggle.
Students will also participate in the symposium held at the end of the week and featuring Whitman scholars from various countries.
Credits will be issued by the Università di Macerata. International visiting students will live with their Italian counterparts, thus keeping expenses as low as possible and creating opportunities for a meaningful intercultural dialogue. In addition to class work on Whitman and the symposium, students will visit Giacomo Leopardi’s house in Recanati, and will be shown some of the artistic and architectural treasures of the area. Macerata is a historic city of 42,000 people in the Marche region of Italy set on the hills sloping down to the Adriatic Sea. The university, located in the beautiful original walled city, owns some of the most interesting historical buildings, including Palazzo Ugolini-- the first Neoclassical palace in Macerata, designed by the famous architect Valadier-- where the Seminar and Symposium will be held .
Application: 15 non-Italian international students will be accepted to the Week. Applications should include a curriculum-vitae, a one-page statement of interest in the seminar, and a short letter of support by an instructor who knows the applicant. Applications should be sent to camboni@unimc.it by 4 April 2010 at the latest.

--------------------------
International Whitman Symposium: "‘In Paths Untrodden’: The 1860 Leaves of Grass"
Università di Macerata, June 18-19, 2010

This year’s symposium will celebrate the 150th anniversary of Leaves of Grass 1860.It will be devoted to the body of the 1860 Leaves with a particular focus on the many new paths Whitman opened with it. Papers are invited to cover a wide range of approaches to Whitman’s poems: his experimenting with multilingualism and textual construction, his focus on the cohesive and energizing power of human relationships and attachments, his belief in the creative force of love, language and poetry, his anxieties about the impending civil war. Papers focusing on international responses to the poems in the 1860 Leaves, including translations into other languages, are also strongly encouraged.

One-page abstracts should be sent to Marina Camboni, Università di Macerata (camboni@unimc.it), Ed Folsom (ed-folsom@uiowa.edu), and Jay Grossman (j-grossman@northwestern.edu) by 21 April, 2010.

NJV writing notice

Everyone who has translation into English (Literary Texts), groups A and B, should come to the 9 o'clock class on Friday. There will be no 10:30 class (B Group) because the Fourth Year (some students from all Terry's groups) will be having a writing seminar from 10:30-12 in that classroom.

NJV notice

Hi to all,

Here are excerpts from the short answers written by Groups A, B and V. If you recognize your work, you must take part in the remedial writing class next week. (Everyone else is welcome too, of course, if you'd like some writing tips.) It will last about two hours. I propose Friday, 23 Oct, sometime in the morning. Please organize yourselves and let me know when, so I can reserve a room. Also, please print out this file and bring it with you.

Regards from Terry

STUDENTS’ CHOICES

Hi to all: there are 35 words this time, as there was some overlap between groups. Remember to check all parts of speech (for example, exasperation, not just exasperate) and to go back to the reading and learn the word in context. Also, just to clear up any confusion: these words won't appear on your tests, but will be on the final exam.
