ED-2018B

Liam McKenna, brewmaster for Yellow Belly Brewery and Public House, will be giving a seminar titled “Beer: A Journey From Then to Us”.

A summary of his presentation is as follows: Beer has played a very important role in the technological basis of civilization. Beer is liquid bread. Beer is one of those ever-present accessible cross-cultural artifacts the basis of which has existed relatively unchanged since prehistory–things like the cup, a cutting edge, clothing, and the sewing needle. It runs a seamless thread down through our history, right to the beginning of our civilization.

The need for the ever greater production of beer has stimulated various revolutionary thought in human history, the Neolithic revolution, the industrial revolution, medical bacteriology, the advent of mechanical refrigeration, architecture, mathematics, language, religion and politics. Its history is one of human culture and human technology. In this talk, we will examine the components of beer and discuss beer as food. We will look at the evolution of technologies associated with brewing, how and why they came to be and the follow on implications for the development of our civilization.

McQueen (UK 2018) 111 min. Directed by Ian Bonhôte, Peter Ettedgui(co-director). With Alexander McQueen, Gary James McQueen, Janet McQueen, Dana Thomas et al. You do not have to know anything about or even be interested in fashion to enjoy this doc about one of the world’s most brilliant designers. As you would expect, this is a visual riot of colour and spectacle, appropriate to McQueen’s aesthetics. He designed for Bowie and Björk, in case you didn’t get the memo. You can still see his much-coveted skull scarves all over ebay. They just never seem to go out of fashion. McQueen was complicated. He rose from the dole to the halls of Gucci, eventually turning his annual runway shows into must-see extravaganzas, tapping into the popular imaginary and reflecting our darkest desires. His personal life was a self-directed mess, ending tragically. This much acclaimed doc really gets at the man and his contradictory nature, all the while showing us the social-cultural backdrop in which he thrived—stunning and absolutely necessary as a big-screen experience.

In March 1927, the Privy Council in London issued a decision that settled the dispute between Newfoundland and Canada over the boundary between Labrador and Quebec, bringing an end to over one hundred years of boundary movement and legal wrangling. Join us as members of the Law Society of Newfoundland and Labrador recreate the arguments in this historic case. Retired judge and legal historian, John Joy, will act as moderator and introduce the event, describing the background of the case; Michael Crosbie, Q.C. will present the Newfoundland case; and Ian Kelly, Q.C. the case for Canada. The Privy Council will be a group of law students, who will then provide their decision. Whatever the outcome, John Joy will provide a summary of the actual 1927 Privy Council decision. Audiences in St. John’s and Happy Valley-Goose Bay will then have the opportunity to ask questions or make comments. Free admission. Reception to follow.

How do sound and water ensure a good death? This talk engages sonic and tactile examples from my recent ethnographic research in Turkish cities and coasts to demonstrate the urgent need for new methods to study aurality and listening in music studies broadly. Rethinking normative approaches to critical theories in musicology, ethnomusicology, and sound studies, I analyze pivotal intersections of sound, melody, and water as they manifest in Sunni Muslim funerary rituals. I elucidate innovative usages of sound technologies, emergent forms of listening during trauma, and consciousness-raising sound art developed as a response to refugees’ crossings of the Mediterranean and Aegean seas. My theoretical interrogations of sound, water, and end of life issues are grounded in my experiential training and care labors in Istanbul’s Karacaahmet Cemetery.
