This exhibit will take place in 102 Suzzallo Library. The exhibition will focus on four major forms of performed North Indian folk art that capture the intersection of ritual, performance and art in the living traditions of North India. The art forms include: (1) terracotta and brass (cire perdue) sculptures that represent the deities and serve as offerings to them; (2) pata, storytelling scrolls made and performed in West Bengal; (3) women's paintings from the Mithala region of Bihar, which create auspiciousness for their life cycle rituals and tell the stories of the gods and goddesses that enliven lives there; (4) Rajasthani par, or large scrolls which are used by singers to tell epic stories in the western state of Rajasthan. cosponsored by the Libraries and the South Asia Center. December 5 EU-US Bilateral Relations: The Changing Dynamic. 11:00-12:00, Thomson 317. Speaker: Ramiro Cibrian, EU Fellow at USC and former Head of the EU Delegation to the Czech Republic. For over 15 years, Mr. Cibrian has held high posts within the European Commission, including Head of Department for the Directorate of External Trade, where his responsibilities embraced the areas of science, nuclear energy, and the environment. Most recently he has served as the EU's Ambassador to the Czech Republic, in which post he oversaw the negotiations for the Czechs' accession to the EU. His analysis of current EU-US relations draws on his 30 years of trans-Atlantic ties and expertise in key areas affecting the trans-Atlantic relationship today.

Explaining the Rise of Civic Activities in Postwar Japan. 3:30 - 5:00 PM, 317 Thomson Hall. Speaker: Professor Rieko Kage, Graduate School of Law, Kobe University. This discussion explores why voluntary associational activity grew dramatically in Japan in the wake of World War II. Contrary to what existing theories by Theda Skocpol and others would expect, new data which suggests that the growth of voluntary civic activities in Japan during the immediate prewar period was quite substantial. This growth in associational activity is particularly surprising, especially given that many of the variables which scholars often argue to be conducive to the growth of civic activities were conspicuously absent: economic growth was low; wartime destruction was high; and the education of many citizens had been interrupted due to wartime mobilization. How, then, can this rise in civic activities be explained? On the basis of quantitative analysis using data from 1945-55, the argument that path-dependency effects appear to be quite strong. That is, associational activity following World War II generally grew fastest where such activities had already flourished prior to the war. This finding is important not only for the historical study of Japanese civil society; it also yields important implications for countries which seek to rebuild war-torn societies, such as the U.S. in Iraq. December 5 Polish 50th Anniversary Lecture Series. Curiosity and Cinema. 7:00 p.m., Walker Ames Room, Kane Hall. Speaker: Angieszka Holland, the acclaimed film director. This event is free and open to the public. A wine and cheese reception will follow the talk. Info: 543-4852 December 9 Land and Property: Implications in the Peace Process in the Middle East. 7:00 PM, Seattle University, Le Roux Conference Room, 900 Broadway, Seattle, WA 98122. Speaker: Michael Fischbach, author of Records of Dispossession . Members & Students: $5, Non-members: $8. Michael Fischbach, a professor of history at Randolph-Macon College in Virginia, focuses on the controversial question of the property left behind by the refugees during the first Arab-Israeli war in 1948. Beyond discussing the extent of the refugees´ losses and detailing the methods by which Israel expropriated this property, his book Records of Dispossession also notes the ways that the property question has affected and in turn been affected by the wider Arab-Israeli conflict over the decades. This book tells for the first time the full story of how much property changed hands, what it was worth, and how it was used by the fledgling state of Israel. Based largely on archival records, including those of the United Nations Conciliation Commission of Palestine, never before available to the public and kept under lock and key in the UN archives, Records of Dispossession is the first detailed historical examination of the Palestinian refugee property question. "Michael Fischbach has produced one of the most thorough and authoritative studies of Palestinian refugee property archives to appear in many years. His critical examination of the UNCCP records will make this book a standard reference for both the specialized scholar and policy makers addressing the future of refugees in the Arab-Israeli conflict." -Salim Tamari, New York University Co-sponsored by Seattle University's International Development Internship Program.

December 10 Formal Demands, Informal Responses: EU Enlargement and Domestic Politics in East Central Europe. 3:30-5:30 PM, 125 Thomson Hall. A lecture by Anna Grzymala-Busse, Yale University. In the process of expanding its membership to the countries of East Central Europe, the European Union has made numerous demands for institutional change and reform in the candidate countries. These demands have been more numerous, unilateral, and paradoxically, more ambiguous than in past rounds of enlargement. Yet the pattern of reforms and changes in the candidate countries has been driven far more by domestic competition than by these formal demands, underlining the importance of informal domestic constraints.
