  • Yixuan Pan "Ice Cold: Studies on Glass" at Rosefsky Gallery — exhibition: Oct. 1-Nov. 5

Pan uses pop sensibilities — hooks, drops, costume changes, and adolescent yet serious romance in catchy rhythms — to tell stories about identity: how it expresses, splits, challenges, and belongs.

    All events are free and open to the public.

    Researchers often work with materials and phenomena that are far too small to see with our eyes. Nilupa Prasadani Gunarathna created this website to show how we can use light and spectroscopy to explore that invisible world and better understand the materials around us.

  • "Hamlet and Faust: On the Anthropology of Tragedy" Wells Memorial Lecture Thursday

    The Department of German and Russian Studies is delighted to announce that this year’s Larry Wells Memorial Lecture will be delivered by David E. Wellbery '69, a professor from the University of Chicago, who, in addition to being one of the most prominent scholars of Germanic studies in the United States, is also a Binghamton alum!

    The lecture is entitled “Hamlet and Faust: On the Anthropology of Tragedy.” The lecture will take place from 5-6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5, in the Alumni Lounge, Old O’Conner Hall, Room 162.

    Throughout his adult life, Goethe held to the theory of tragedy expressed in his early essay in praise of Shakespeare. That theory is “anthropological” in the sense that it conceives the tragic process as the expression of a fundamental tension inherent in human experience. The lecture demonstrates how Goethe’s theoretical claim casts light on the dramatic process that unfolds across his Faust-drama. Moreover, since Goethe’s theory was initially developed with a view toward Shakespeare, the lecture also argues that certain structural features of the Faust-drama are adapted from Hamlet.

    David E. Wellbery, who holds the LeRoy T. and Margaret Deffenbaugh Carlson University Professorship in Germanic Studies at the University of Chicago, received his bachelor's degree from Binghamton University and his doctorate from Yale University. Before joining the faculty at Chicago, he taught at Stanford University (1975-89) and Johns Hopkins University (1989-2001). He holds an honorary doctorate from the University of Konstanz and has been elected to numerous scholarly societies, including the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the German Academy of Arts and Sciences (Leopoldina). In 2019, he was awarded the Gold Medal of the Goethe Society (Weimar) for his contributions to Goethe scholarship. His book publications include (most recently) "Die schönste Geschichte der Welt. Morphologisch-hermeneutische Studien zu Johann Peter Hebel und Franz Kafka" (Schwabe Verlag, 2026), as well as previous acclaimed studies such as "The Specular Moment: Goethe’s Early Lyric and the Beginnings of Romanticism" (Stanford UP, 1996) and "Lessing’s Laocoon: Semiotics and Aesthetics in the Age of Reason" (Cambridge UP, 1984).

  • “Jews, Film, and Stereotype: A Bigger World of Jewish Film”: Nov. 10

    Join the Judaic Studies Department for a lunchtime book talk by Olga Gershenson, from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, from noon to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, in the IASH Room, LN 1106.

    Gershenson will present on her soon-to-be-released volume, "The Oxford Handbook of Judaism and Film," to challenge the geographic and conceptual boundaries of Jewish cinema. For too long, the field has circled a narrow set of places and stories, about immigration, assimilation, antisemitism, and the Holocaust. She proposes a broader, more capacious understanding of Jewish film — one that moves past the assumption that Jewishness on screen must be mimetic, historical, or tied to the US, Europe, and Israel.

    Lunch will be provided. Click the link below to learn more.
