This work was undertaken largely by Survey staff member Luella Adams and resulted in a report presented to the Commission, containing recommendations for potential historic districts and individual landmarks within the area of the Community Board.

    Teaching with Testimony Guide for 14-year-old Holocaust survivor Lisa Jura’s universal story of bravery and resilience transforms classrooms around the world in an interdisciplinary and multisensory learning experience from USC Shoah Foundation and Hold On To Your Music The Children of Foundation. Supported by the Koret Foundation, this suite of resources mixes music, story and Willesden Lane technology to reshape Holocaust education for primary and secondary school students. By Mona Golabek and Lee Cohen Created by USC Shoah Foundation as part of The Willesden Project 1 Attributions About the Authors Mona Golabek is a Grammy-nominated recording artist, an internationally celebrated concert pianist, and the star of the one-woman show The Pianist of Willesden Lane. She travels the world, sharing the inspirational story of her mother, Lisa Jura. Lee Cohen is a journalist, screenwriter, and poet. About the Book Fourteen-year-old Lisa Jura was a musical prodigy who hoped to become a concert pianist. But when Hitler’s armies advanced on pre-war Vienna, Lisa’s parents were forced to make a difficult decision. Able to secure passage for only one of their three daughters through the Kindertransport—a rescue effort that relocated Jewish children to Great Britain—they chose to send gifted Lisa to London for safety. Living in a home for refugee children on Willesden Lane, Lisa felt the weight of her parents’ choice and yearned to be reunited with her family. But despite her circumstances, Lisa created a new life for herself, and her music became a beacon of hope for all the children of Willesden Lane.

    FALL 2002 29 Laughter and Ethnicity in John Leguizamo's One-Man Worlds Miriam M. Chirico John Leguizamo's life is the substance of his art. His unflinching and uncompromising look at his own life and the lives of those closest to him provides the basis for his one-man shows, Mambo Mouth, Spic-O-Rama, the Tony-nominated play Freak and Sexaholix...A Love Story. Leguizamo has stamped his stand-up comic style as a playwright and his energetic characterizations as an actor onto the Broadway stage and the Hollywood screen. As the first Latino performer ever to produce a one-man show on Broadway, he is a spokesperson for a minority culture that vies to be heard within a dominant Anglo-Saxon one, and his dramatic sketches are tinged with a political undercurrent that questions the status quo of race relations in America. Leguizamo never allows his content to become too cerebral or heavy, but instead manipulates the comic impulse to bring his characters to life, providing the audience a means of empathizing with these characters and understanding the social and political issues at stake. Nor are his characters stereotypical representations of race and gender, as sometimes occurs in comedy. Rather, as each character confides his or her story to the audience, the facade they have brazenly put forth begins to erode under their frank admissions of fears and doubts. His characters are earnest and quirky, and derive their appeal not only from the stories they tell but also from the vocal and physical skills Leguizamo brings to each character.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Racial Formation in the Post-September 11 Era: The Paradoxical Positioning of Working Class South Asian American Youth A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology by Veena Hampapur 2016 © Copyright by Veena Hampapur 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Racial Formation in the Post-September 11 Era: The Paradoxical Positioning of Working Class South Asian American Youth by Veena Hampapur Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Jessica R. Cattelino, Chair In this dissertation I aim to show that there has been a shift in racial formation in the United States since the terrorist attacks of September 11th. I chart this new racial formation through theorizing from the everyday realities of working class, predominantly Muslim, South Asian and Indo-Caribbean youth in New York City, some of whom were undocumented. By utilizing ethnographic methods, I dissect their seemingly contradictory lived experiences of 1) national belonging stemming from multicultural comfort in a city famous for its diversity and 2) exclusion from cultural citizenship dictated by struggles with modes of racialization, surveillance, and criminalization more commonly associated with Arabs, Blacks, and Latinos. I map out the current racial formation, which explains South Asians’ paradoxical positioning, through examining the intersection of state policies with intersubjective and emotional experiences of race and racism. I find that South Asians' seemingly contradictory ii positioning is produced through three mechanisms of the current racial formation: the emphasis on diversity and pervasiveness of color blind ideology; shifting notions of race that criminalize widening domains of difference, especially religion and immigration status; and national security panics centered on youth, terrorism, and crime.

Il ne s’agit donc pas d’une liste des films favoris, mais des titres estimés parmi les plus nécessaires pour nourrir l’imaginaire formel des élèves, pour aider ceux-ci à approfondir leur connaissance de l’histoire d’une discipline, pour servir de repères communs dans le cadre d’un enseignement. Voici les résultats de la campagne 2020-2021. Ils ont vocation à évoluer chaque année en fonction des nouvelles rencontres de chacun-e avec le cinéma. Cette liste collective s’ajoute à celle des « 208 films » constituée par Alain Bergala, fondée sur le principe de la découverte de sa propre esthétique par un auteur. Ensemble, ces listes établissent une proposition pour quiconque – élèves de La Fémis, candidat-e-s, cinéphiles de tous horizons – voudrait commencer son initiation aux histoires du cinéma et des arts filmiques.
