Walker Library 4 Speaker Friday, May 6, 2016 Carroll Van West 2015 Career Achievement Award Recipient Dr. Carroll Van West, a professor in MTSU’s History Department since 1985, teaches courses in architectural history, historic preservation, and state and local history. He is the state historian of Tennessee, named to the post by Gov. Bill Haslam in 2013. He is also co-chair of the Tennessee Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission and director of the Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area. West holds a B.A. from MTSU, a master’s degree in History from the University of Tennessee, and a Ph.D. in History from the College of William and Mary. He has directed to completion approximately 100 master’s theses as well as 14 doctoral dissertations by MTSU graduate students. His research interests lie in 19th- and 20th-century Southern and Western history as well as architecture and material culture. West has directed hundreds of historic preservation projects across Tennessee, and he has worked with museum and preservation projects in many other states. Most recently, he has been working on historic preservation issues in Alabama and Montana. West has written numerous articles, chapters, and book reviews in Southern and Western history. His blog documents and interprets 30 years of preservation work in the state of Montana. He has been a referee for multiple National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) review panels and served on NEH projects in Tennessee and Montana. West is on the board of advisors for the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Lewis and Clark Trust, and the Teaching with Primary Sources program of the Library of Congress. He works extensively with the National Register of Historic Places on documentation projects, and his past works range from the Sullivan Jackson house in Selma, Alabama, to the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, to the Historic Farms in Tennessee 1780–1955 project. West’s passion for his discipline is affirmed by sustained commitment to excellence and an incredible body of work in the field of history. His outstanding career, devoted to the power of living stories—past and present— also speaks to his commitment to community-building through the celebration of heritage. Stewardship, shared identity, purpose, and community are not only the hallmarks of his work in Tennessee but also across the South and into the far West. 5 Program Saturday, May 7, 2016 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Processional: “Rigaudon” from Idoménée, by André Campra Audience, please remain standing for the processional, presentation of colors, singing of the National Anthem, and moment of silence.

A Polish Jew, Gerda Weissmann lived six years under German rule. It was a time when Jews were stigmatized, discriminated against, harassed and beaten. Their houses of worship were burned; their places of business, looted. They were driven from their homes, imprisoned in ghettos and forced to work in slave-labor camps. And they were murdered — some where they lived, town by town, person by person; others in death camps, where millions were gassed in an assembly-line process that mimicked the great factories of industrialized Europe.

Para llevar a cabo esta tarea, habrá que centrarse en el estudio de la narrativa audiovisual. Aun así, primeramente, indagaremos en la historia de las miniseries y mostraremos la evolución de las productoras encargadas de la producción de Chernobyl. Una vez terminada la contextualización, nos centraremos en el análisis de las partes que conforman la miniserie, con el propósito de enumerar sus tramas y subtramas, conocer su estructura narrativa, descubrir a los personajes y reflexionar sobre la recreación realista y las licencias tomadas en esta ficción basada en hechos reales. Para proceder, serán necesarios diversos visionados, de los cuales se extraerán los recursos utilizados y nos ofrecerán la posibilidad de esquematizar la información necesaria. A partir del desglose, se pondrá orden, completando cada uno de los aspectos que se pretende desarrollar. Finalmente, y tras una elaborada investigación, se mostrarán una serie de conclusiones personales y el posible futuro de esta producción que se ha convertido en todo un éxito, a pesar de contar uno de los sucesos más tristes y oscuros de la historia de la humanidad.

A constant champion of top talent, his statement at the TCA press tour this summer that there was too much high-end drama on the market shook the industry like a tornado. His concerns, repeated at the Edinburgh International Television Festival, have since been echoed in private and public by executives 4 10 concerned the ‘golden age of television’ groundswell is winding down. You’d be hard-pressed to get that from this magazine, however. Companies are hitting MIPCOM with bigger, bolder, and more expensive dramas than ever before. Take The Last Panthers, the Sky and Canal+ action drama coproduction that features in our lead article. Shot across Europe in a mammoth 130-day shoot, its backers expect major success, in terms of ratings, sales and critical acclaim. We also speak with Prisoners of War/Homeland creator Gideon Raff, and Steven Soderbergh, who has reworked his 2009 movie The Girlfriend Experience for US cable channel Starz.
