Strandberg To Speak At Andiron Lecture

0
U E

Kristen Strandberg, Ph.D., University of Evansville assistant professor of music, will be the speaker for the Andiron Lecture on February 5. The lecture will begin at 4:00 p.m. in Eykamp Hall, Room 252, Ridgway University Center. This event is free and open to the public.

Strandberg will be discussing “Constructing Otherness: Critical Representation of Musicians in the Press.” Nineteenth-century French critics frequently asserted the superiority of French musicians, often discussing marginalized performers in language that implied their inferiority. Critics especially targeted foreign and female performers by pointing out their “mechanical” playing style to demonstrate a performer’s lack of artistry and nuance.

In this lecture, Strandberg will demonstrate the range of cultural meaning behind assertions of “mechanical” playing. Critical and philosophical writings of the period reveal anxieties about the increased mechanization of culture following the Industrial Revolution and the ways those anxieties affected the arts. Meanwhile, the popularity of automata in stage shows and contemporary literature demonstrates a new and widespread fascination with technology as entertainment. In exploring the cultural assumptions and meanings of mechanized performance, we see these simultaneous anxieties and fascinations.

Strandberg holds a Bachelor of Music degree in Cello Performance from the University of Minnesota and a Ph.D. in Musicology from Indiana University. Her research focuses on the reception of violin virtuosity in mid-nineteenth-century Paris, examining concert reviews in the press to explore how critics and listeners perceived and discussed these performers.

Her recent publications include articles in the Journal of Musicological Research and the Journal of Music History Pedagogy. She has presented at conferences throughout the U.S. and Europe, recently appearing as an invited speaker at the annual conference of the National Chopin Institute in Poland.

Eagles blow through Tornado, 87-68

0

16th-ranked University of Southern Indiana Men’s Basketball used a trio of big runs to defeat King University, 87-68, Saturday afternoon at the Screaming Eagles Arena. USI goes to 7-1 overall, while King is 8-4 in 2019-20.

USI rallied from a pair of first half double-digit deficits in the opening half (12-2 and 25-14) to lead at the intermission, 38-37. The Eagles took their first lead of the game, 27-25, on a lay-up by junior forward Josh Price at 5:56 to cap off a 13-1 run.

The USI lead would grow to as many as five points, 36-31, during the first 20 minutes when junior guard Mateo Rivera deposited a layup with 1:43 left to half. King, however, would score six of the last eight points, allowing USI a one-point margin at the first half buzzer.

Price led the offense during the opening half with 11 points, while junior forward Emmanuel Little reached double-digits with 10 points.

The second half started off with a USI offensive explosion as the Eagles went on a 16-2 run to build a 54-39 lead before five minutes were gone. The Eagles were a blistering seven-of-eight from the field during the run with senior guard Joe Laravie leading the way with eight points.

The Tornado responded with a 16-4 run of their own to cut the Eagles’ lead to three points, 58-53, with 9:41 left. USI regained control and closed the door on the game with a 12-4 run that put the margin back into double-digits at 70-58 on a pair of Little free throws at 5:27 of the second half.

USI’s second half lead would grow to as many as 19 points with 44 ticks on the clock and the eventual 87-68 final.

Individually, Price led four Eagles in double-digits with 23 points on 10-of-15 from the field and three-of-six from the stripe. He also finished the contest with his team-high third double-double of the season, tying for a game-high with 10 rebounds.

Little followed Price in the scoring column with 19 points and finished the game with his second-straight double-double, tying Price with 10 boards. Rivera and Laravie rounded out the double-digit scorers with 14 points and 11 points, respectively.

USI hits the halfway mark of the homestand Sunday when it hosts Tiffin University. The Dragons are 6-7 overall this season after posting a 76-71 victory over Urbana University in overtime Friday night.

The Eagles have a 5-0 lead in the all-time series with Tiffin and will be hosting the Dragons for the first time since 2009. The Eagles were led in the 93-73, 2009 victory by Jamar Smith and Jeron Lewis with 16 points each.

The homestand concludes after the New Year when the Eagles re-start GLVC action by hosting Drury University January 2 for a 7:30 p.m. game and Southwest Baptist University January 4 for a 3:15 p.m. tip. The USI-SBU match-up is the first in the series and in GLVC play between the two programs.

Commentary: My Christmas List

Commentary: My Christmas List

December 21, 2019   Posted by

By Mary Beth Schneider
The StatehouseFile.com

INDIANAPOLIS—It’s all well and good to say “all I want for Christmas is you.” But we all know that truth be told, we want so much more.

Trouble is, much of it cannot be wrapped in pretty paper and tied with a bow. And most of it wouldn’t fit under the Christmas tree. But what wonderful gifts they would be.

Mary Beth Schneider

So, Santa, if you’re listening: I want a president who doesn’t call opponents juvenile names and who doesn’t Tweet insults. I want a president who supports our allies instead of coddling dictators. I want a president who doesn’t lie every single day, including on easily disproven things such as whether he signed a bill into law that actually was passed under a predecessor or whether any new sections of a border wall have been constructed.

I want traffic lights that are synchronized. (Start with West Street, please.)

I want politicians who put country over party, principles over partisanship and who seek to understand the needs of all their constituents, not just those who wrote them checks. And I want independently-drawn legislative and congressional districts that lead to fair representation.

I want blue jeans that fit perfectly even after they are washed. (Just saying.)

I want health care that is universal and affordable. And I want life-saving drugs such as insulin to be at a minimal cost. After all, the people who invented insulin in 1923 – Frederick Banting, James Collip and Charles Best – sold the patent for one dollar because they felt it was unethical to profit from a discovery that saves lives. A life very precious to me has required insulin since she was a child; it shouldn’t cost hundreds of dollars each month.

I want a facial moisturizer that really does eliminate wrinkles. (Asking for a friend.)

I want people to realize that the only fake news lies completely made up. Reporters are human and make mistakes – but take it from me, they agonize over them and strive every day to get important stories out and to get them right. And I want people to know that good journalism doesn’t come for free. Subscribe to as many sources as you can – but especially to your local newspaper. In most communities, there is no one else to cover your mayor, your council, your schools, your community.

I want to win the lottery. (Hey, it could happen!)

I want the Statue of Liberty to represent our present, not our past. I have Dutch ancestors who came to what later became New York in the 1600s, seeking a new world. I have Irish ancestors who fled famine in the 1800s. I have Hungarian ancestors who came in the early 1900s, fleeing oppression. For the most part, they came with almost nothing. Some, like my grandmother, couldn’t speak English. Yet they built homes and lives, and the nation is richer for people like them.

I want zero calorie chocolates. (So long as they taste like 200-calorie truffles.)

I want children to go to school without once having to wonder if that bang is from a slammed locker or an active shooter, and parents who don’t have to kiss them goodbye in the morning, wondering if that is the last kiss.

I want to go through life without once being told “ok boomer.” (Seriously.)

I want a government and corporations to realize we have very little time – if, that is, we have any left at all – to address climate change before our world no longer sustains life as we know it.

And I want to be more grateful for the gifts I’ve already got.

So I’m grateful for the gift of a father, who loved me no matter what and thought everything I did was just great.

And I’m just as grateful for the gift of a mother who, while she always loves me, definitely doesn’t think everything I do is perfect. It taught me to take responsibility for my shortcomings and to try to do better.

I’m grateful for the gift of a son and daughter who have given me years of memories and the pleasure of knowing so much more are in store. And I’m grateful for a husband who has shared all that with me.

And I’m grateful for the gift of writing and the knowledge that some people enjoy it, too.

Merry Christmas. I’m wishing, too, for your Christmas wishes to come true.

A HOUSE DIVIDED

A HOUSE DIVIDED

Gavel Gamut By Jim Redwine

On June 16, 1858, during Abraham Lincoln, Stephen Douglas race for an Illinois Senate seat, Lincoln said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand”. Lincoln meant the United States could not permanently exist unless slavery was outlawed everywhere or made legal everywhere. Lincoln lost the election but later led America to be a united and free country. Unfortunately, it took 600,000 lives to do so.

The CNN poll last week indicated 46% of respondents were against removing President Trump before the next election and 45% were in favor of doing so. That is certainly a divided house. However, the fate of one president is not remotely like the issue of slavery. With presidents, there are always two sides. Some like them, some do not and some don’t care.

When President William Clinton was impeached by the House in 1998 and acquitted by the Senate in 1999 the country moved right along. There was no war, not even any physical battles. Chances are America will experience the same reactions when President Trump is acquitted, and the Republican-controlled Senate’s verdict is no more in doubt than was the Democrat-controlled House of Representative’s vote to charge him. The political theater of the Clinton and Trump impeachment will look and sound the same. As William Shakespeare’s Macbeth said about life:

“It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

Act 5, scene 5

I have no desire or right to speak for you, Gentle Reader. However, as for me, my prediction is we Americans will emulate our British cousins and just muddle on through this current phase with a great deal of affection and no lasting effect.
