Frederick Douglass: Champion of Civil and Human Rights
discussion with Pamela Creed
February 23rd at 5 pm
 | Frederick Douglass was born a slave but became a champion of civil and human rights. He was an African American who lived during the Civil War
and was internationally recognized for his work promoting justice and
positive change in society. He embodied three keys for success in life: "Believe in yourself; take advantage of every opportunity; and use the
power of language to improve yourself and society." Douglass lived a
life of honor, respect and success but always said, "What is possible
for me, is possible for you."

Benjamin Franklin: The Quintessential American
discussion with Pamela Creed
 | Benjamin Franklin, one of the
Founding Fathers of the United States, was born on 17 January 1706 in
Boston. A writer, printer, activist, philanthropist, entrepreneur,
politician, diplomat and world-class scientist, Franklin was also, as
David Brooks, a writer for the New York Times recently put it, "the
original spokesman of [American] middle-class values". Come for a
discussion in English with Pamela Creed. We will talk about the
American middle-class values reflected in the life and work of Benjamin
Franklin that still shape the American mind and character today. |

"Genre Painting: Scenes from Everyday Life"
by Katherine Kokta
On Friday, February 29th at 5pm

American genre painting
American genre painting flourished in the thirty years before the Civil War, a period of rapid social change that followed the election of President Andrew Jackson. It has long been assumed that these paintings—of farmers, western boatmen and trappers, blacks both slave and free, middle-class women, urban urchins, and other everyday folk—served as records of an innocent age, reflecting a Jacksonian optimism and faith in the common man. Genre paintings had a social function that related in a more significant and less idealistic way to the political and cultural life of the time.
Through works by William Sidney
Mount, George Caleb Bingham, David Gilmore Blythe, Lilly Martin Spencer, and
others, the humor and cynicism reveals in the paintings and places them in the
context of stories about the American character that appeared in sources
ranging from almanacs and newspapers to joke books and political caricature. Art
is socially constructed to meet the interests of its patrons and viewers; it is
demonstrated that the audience for American genre paintings consisted of New
Yorkers with a highly developed ambition for political and social leadership,
who enjoyed setting up citizens of the new democracy as targets of satire or
condescension to satisfy their need for superiority. It was this network of
social hierarchies and prejudices—and not a blissful celebration of American
democracy—that informed the look and the richly ambiguous content of genre
painting.
Katherine Kokta, short bio:
Katherine Kokta studied American art at Yale University
under one of the foremost scholars in the field. After graduation,
Katherine continued her academic studies on American painting at the
Corcoran College of Art and Design, the affiliated with the art collegeCorcoran Gallery of Art, the oldest and largest privately owned art museum in Washington, DC. Before arriving in Belgrade, Mrs. Kokta led interpretive tours at Dumbarton House,
an historic house museum in Washington filled with many fine paintings
and other works of American art. While in Belgrade, Mrs. Kokta enjoys
painting scenes from her travels.

Elektronski mediji Usluga praćenja elektronskih medija obuhvata video clipping i video arhivu. Video arhiva predstavlja potpuno novu uslugu na ovim prostorima -on-line arhivu dostupnu sa svakog kompjutera koju korisnici mogu pretraživati potpuno samostalno i slobodno, uz korisnicko ime i lozinku. Ona sadrži preko 100.000 priloga iz udarnih televizijskih informativnih emisija (kompletan sadržaj emisija podeljen na indeksirane priloge) za period od pocetka 2005. do sinoc. Video clipping je usluga monitoringa TV programa nacionalnih televizija, kao i programa izabranih lokalnih i regionalnih stanica. U raziku od video arhive, video clipping prati samo unapred dogovorene kljucne reci, ali je broj pracenih elektronskih medija i emisija daleko veci. |
