SUMMARY:Who Decides Who Belongs—And Who Gets Erased? A Discussion on Housing and Belonging With Filmmaker Derrick Benton and Sociologist Jerome Krase
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker Derrick Benton explores the politics of belonging through the lens of his documentary The House That Love Built. Beginning with his family’s story in 1980s Brooklyn\, Benton traces how housing policy\, administrative systems\, and everyday bureaucracy shape not only where people live\, but whether they are recognized as fully human within civic life and how narratives are constructed\, who controls them\, and what it means to reclaim authorship over one’s own history. \nDerrick Benton is a Brooklyn-born filmmaker and writer whose work spans documentary and narrative film. He is the founder of F.R.E.E. Studios (Filming Real Emotional Experiences)\, a production studio dedicated to community-rooted storytelling and cultural critique. His films explore memory\, identity\, and the ways institutions shape lived experience. Alongside his film work\, Derrick publishes essays on power\, belonging\, and media through The Stooop. \nJerome Krase\, Emeritus Professor of Sociology and the Murray Koppelman Professor at Brooklyn College\, is an activist-scholar who works with public and private agencies regarding urban community issues. His self- and co-authored books include Self and Community in the City (1982)\, Ethnicity and Machine Politics (1992)\, Italian Americans in a Multicultural Society (1994)\, Race and Ethnicity in New York City (2005) Ethnic Landscapes in an Urban World (2006)\, Seeing Cities Change: Local Culture and Class (2012)\, Race\, Class\, and Gentrification in Brooklyn (2016)\, COVID-19 in Brooklyn (2022)\, and forthcoming Local and Global Impacts of the War in Ukraine. He co-edits Urbanities and serves on the editorial boards of Visual Studies and the Journal of Video Ethnography. Krase has twice served a Fulbright Specialist\, is an officer of ProBonoDesign Inc\, and active in many American\, European\, and international sociological associations\, the Commission on Urban Anthropology\, American Italian Historical Association\, International Urban Symposium\, H-NET Humanities on Line\, International Visual Sociology Association\, Polish American Historical Association\, Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences in America\, and the European Academy of Sciences of Ukraine\, where he currently serves as president. \nSponsored by the departments of Sociology\, Political Science\, and Puerto Rican and Latinx Studies; the Program in Urban Sustainability; and the Ethyle R. Wolfe Institute for the Humanities at Brooklyn College.

SUMMARY:Experiencing Medieval Durational Performance
DESCRIPTION:Join us as 15 advanced history undergraduates do performance-as-research about medieval asceticism\, investigating premodern people who wholly committed their lives to a single purpose: pilgrims (who walked long distances to special destinations)\, stylites (who stoically sat on the top of pillars in the desert as exemplars of humility)\, hermits (who were caretakers of the environment and their community)\, and anchorites (who permanently “buried” themselves in small huts so they could best meditate on death while still alive). Come explore a corner of our campus that students will transform into a learning laboratory where they investigate what it meant to live intentionally in the premodern world. Students will be on hand to explain the scholarly rigor of our embodied research methodologies and the premodern historical context\, and they will also help facilitate any willing audience members’ participation in our performance-as-research.

SUMMARY:49th Annual Procope S. Costas Memorial Lecture: Reconsidering the Myth of Icarus in Modern and Contemporary Icarus
DESCRIPTION:Are there modes of classical reception that disrupt the privileged position afforded to the “original” aesthetic text (or object)? Charles Martindale\, one of the early proponents of reception studies in the field of classics\, adhered to and fortified the idea of the aesthetic beauty of the model\, a Kantian proposition he had no interest in eschewing. As to challenges to this notion\, radical theorizations of Black Classicism\, for example\, support the possibility of new centers of meaning—and even beauty—beyond any notion of an original object to be held in value. \nThrough the myth of Icarus\, Professor of Classics Patrice Rankine ’92 takes one particularly prominent theme among Black authors and artists as a case in point for the proposition of either hopeful transformation\, or radical despair. In whatever direction one takes these instances of Black receptions of Icarus\, of which he will show a few\, what comes out of the engagement is an Icarus radically transformed\, if even at all recognizable. \nRankine earned his B.A. in Ancient Greek\, magna cum laude\, from Brooklyn College\, and his Ph.D. in classical languages and literatures from Yale University. In addition to his scholarship\, he has served in several significant administrative roles\, including as dean for the School of Arts & Sciences at the University of Richmond. He is also a committed teacher who won an Excellence in Teaching Award in the School of Languages and Cultures at Purdue University. He researches the Greco-Roman classics and their afterlife\, particularly as they pertain to literature\, theater\, and the history and performance of race. \nHe is author of Choice Magazine Outstanding Academic Title Ulysses in Black: Ralph Ellison\, Classicism\, and African American Literature and Aristotle and Black Drama: A Theater of Civil Disobedience as well as coauthor of The Oxford Handbook of Greek Drama in the Americas. His current book projects include Theater and Crisis: Myth\, Memory\, and Racial Reckoning\, 1964–2020 and Slavery and the Book.
