  • The West's Turkey Conundrum
    THE NEW GEOPOLITICS FEBRUARY 2018 EUROPE THE WEST’S TURKEY CONUNDRUM AMANDA SLOAT BROOKINGS – ROBERT BOSCH FOUNDATION TRANSATLANTIC INITIATIVE THE WEST’S TURKEY CONUNDRUM AMANDA SLOAT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Policymakers in the United States and European Union are struggling with how to manage their relations with Turkey. What makes the country such a conundrum is that its problematic leadership faces real threats. Turkey is confronting challenges from the aftermath of the July 2016 coup attempt and the destabilizing effects of the Syrian war. Yet the country’s president is growing more authoritarian, using virulent anti-Western rhetoric, and making foreign policy choices contrary to the interests of the trans-Atlantic alliance. The policy goal is navigating this gray zone today to preserve the possibility of better relations in the future. The paper begins by examining the main domestic and regional challenges facing Turkey, as well as how these issues impact the country’s relations with its Western allies. It then outlines three possible policy responses for the United States and Europe: abandonment, transactionalism, and engagement. The paper makes the case for taking a long view, as the current period before Turkey’s parliamentary and presidential elections (due sometime before November 2019) will remain difficult. The degree of political, security, socio-economic, and cultural integration between Turkey and the West requires a nuanced and supple style of relationship management. Specifically, the paper advocates for constructive and principled engagement. This entails widening the aperture of government outreach to more officials on a broader range of shared interests; using the prospect of deeper trade and investment links to encourage better governance; expanding people-to-people ties and supporting civil society; and staying true to Western values by speaking out about rule of law and human rights abuses.

    S PRING THE BELLS OF IOWA STATE 2020 C OMMEN C EMENT THE HISTORY OF “THE BELLS OF IOWA STATE” James C. Wilson (1900-1995) was a member of Iowa State’s English faculty from 1928 to 1931. He had to resign due to his lack of a Ph.D., and prior to his departure, he submitted a college song candidate for a song contest sponsored by the Iowa State Club of Chicago. Jim and his wife, Alice, moved to Chicago where as he notes, “We (in addition to their two babies) had $212 in cash from my last paycheck, our five-year-old Chevrolet, and the tent.” He won first place with “The Bells of Iowa State,” and the family was able to purchase a Iowa State University Library PRING OMMENCEMENT Special Collections Department small cottage on Lake Michigan. S 2020 C “When I wrote ‘The Bells of Iowa State,’ I thought then that it had much more depth and emotion than your basic football fight song,” Wilson said. “Its continuing popularity leaves me very pleased, not so much because it’s my own song, but because it has had such a good effect on those who have been touched by it.” (The Iowa Stater, June 1983) Dear Iowa State University Graduates and Guests: Congratulations to all of the spring 2020 graduates of Iowa State University, and thank you to everyone who played a role in their successful journey. Graduation is an opportunity to reflect on what you have learned and to celebrate your achievements. Every single graduate has been a valued and important member of the Iowa State community.

  • Brassaï with an Introductory Essay by Lawrence Durell
    Brassaï With an introductory essay by Lawrence Durell Author Brassaï, 1899-1984 Date 1968 Publisher The Museum of Modern Art: Distributed by New York Graphic Society, Greenwich, Conn. Exhibition URL www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/2614 The Museum of Modern Art's exhibition history— from our founding in 1929 to the present—is available online. It includes exhibition catalogues, primary documents, installation views, and an index of participating artists. MoMA © 2017 The Museum of Modern Art Archive MoMA 873 8o pages; 61 illustrations $5-95 Brassai With an introduction by Lawrence Durrell Brassai is perhaps the best-known photographer of Paris now living, probing with his camera its streets and cafes and scribbled walls, recording the faces of its artists and common people. As Lawrence Durrell puts it in his perceptive intro duction, "One senses two strong flavors which complement each other. Firstly, that of his sharply selective yet tender treatment of light and dark; secondly, the flavor of the capital city which he adopted as a muse." Henry Miller has called him simply "the eye of Paris." This book, identical in format with mono graphs on Harry Callahan and Dorothea Lange, contains a retrospective sampling of Brassai's finest work, ranging over some four decades. There are portraits of famous artists and of un known workmen and cocottes, a selection of his famous series on the streets of Paris by night, and his sensitive renderings of wall graffiti. In all of them appears the seemingly paradoxical com bination of painstaking craftsmanship and ro mantic sensitivity that makes his work so appeal ing and so moving.

Neoclassicism and Camp in Sir William Hamilton’s Naples Abstract Susan Sontag, in her now-classic “Notes on Camp” (1964), traces the origins of camp to the eighteenth century (13, 14, 33). And although it is precisely the baroque and rococo art movements against which Winckelmann rebelled that Sontag identifies as camp, it is worth reflecting on whether the notion of imitation that is central to both movements – imitation of ancient works in the case of neoclassicism, and imitation as parody in the case of camp (Meyer 7) – might not bring the two closer.
