Valerie Trollinger, associate professor of the Music Department, will present “5,000 Languages, 5,000 Ways to Sing? On Thursday, Nov. 1, at 11 a.m. in the Sharadin120. Valerie Trollinger will present research concerning the history of singing predominantly addresses the use of singing as a cultural phenomenon rather than as a physiological one. While linguistic anthropologists surmise that there are about 5,000 distinct languages in the world, the relationship of the physical act of speaking to the physical act of singing at the historical level has yet to be researched. This paper presents an introduction to possible relationships between the development of singing and speaking from early man to contemporary vocal traditions found around the world. Do we really have 5,000 ways to sing as well? Please come to the presentation to find out. William J.

Kutch and students in the graphic novel class will welcome Nick Sousanis, doctoral candidate in the education program at Columbia University's Teachers College. Sousanis is completing his entire dissertation in comic form. He will give a talk on the inspiration and creative process behind his work. From his blog: http://www.spinweaveandcut.blogspot.com/ "I do hope that it helps open doors within the academic community for other visual-verbal scholarly works, as well as other forms already in existence or still-to-be-imagined. But I don't see this as becoming the new standard. Rather, I hope it contributes to raising the question of what 'standard' means, and providing an example that others will take up in their own way, by their own means of working."
