College of Visual and Performing Arts Faculty First Thursday! Margaret Noel, assistant professor in the Department of Fine Arts, will present “Lost in Translation: The Drawn Travelogue” on Thursday, Apr. 5, at 11 a.m. in the Sharadin Art Building Room 120. Margaret Noel will present body of work based on drawing done on location during her travels. Back in the studio, Noel loosely references the drawings to create collages that abstract and fracture the original forms. While some elements are fully articulated, others are simplified, generalized and transformed, allowing viewers to feel as if they have stumbled upon the record of a half-forgotten journey—a blurred remembrance of a landscape rather than a precise rendering. William J. Mowder, dean, College of Visual & Performing Arts

The History Department would like to invite you to the 2012
Esther Willits Lecture, “Rockin’ Las Americas: Rock Music and Countercultural
Politics in Latin America during the ‘Long 1960s’ “ The lecture is being held
Apr. 3, at 7 p.m. in Boehm Science Building
room 261. We hope that you can join us! Eric Zolov, author of “Refried Elvis” and Professor of Latin American History at SUNY, Stony Brook will speak on when Elvis Presley burst onto the musical scene in 1950s America, it wasn't only the cultural landscape on this side of the border that was changed forever. Transported on the wings of transnational capital, American rock 'n roll sowed the seeds of youth rebellion throughout Latin America during the 1960s. From Mexico to Argentina, Cuba to Guatemala, by the early 1970s every country in Latin America had established its own vibrant rock and countercultural scene. Because of the widespread use of English and adoption of U.S. and British-influenced countercultural styles, however, many in Latin America critiqued these movements as mere reflections of "cultural imperialism." Yet for their participants, these movements offered an opportunity to liberate oneself from the dictates of repressive states and conservative societies, while forging new definitions of a national identity.
