  • A Concert Review by Christof Graf
    Leonard Cohen`s Tower Of Song: A Grand Gala Of Excellence Without Compromise by Christof Graf A Memorial Tribute To Leonard Cohen Bell Centre, Montreal/ Canada, 6th November 2017 A concert review by Christof Graf Photos by: Christof Graf “The Leonard Cohen Memorial Tribute ‘began in a grand fashion,” wrote the MONTREAL GAZETTE. “One Year After His Death, the Legendary Singer-Songwriter is Remembered, Spectacularly, in Montral,” headlined the US-Edition of NEWSWEEK. The media spoke of a “Star-studded Montreal memorial concert which celebrated life and work of Leonard Cohen.” –“Cohen fans sing, shout Halleluja in tribute to poet, songwriter Leonard,” was the title chosen by THE STAR. The NATIONAL POST said: “Sting and other stars shine in fast-paced, touching Leonard Cohen tribute in Montreal.” Everyone present shared this opinion. It was a moving and fascinating event of the highest quality. The first visitors had already begun their pilgrimage to the Hockey Arena of the Bell Centre at noon. The organizers reported around 20.000 visitors in the evening. Some media outlets estimated 16.000, others 22.000. Many visitors came dressed in dark suits and fedora hats, an homage to Cohen’s “work attire.” Cohen last sported his signature wardrobe during his over three hour long concerts from 2008 to 2013. How many visitors were really there was irrelevant; the Bell Centre was filled to the rim. The “Tower Of Song- A Memorial Tribute To Leonard Cohen” was sold out. Expectations were high as fans of the Canadian Singer/Songwriter pilgrimmed from all over the world to Montreal to pay tribute to their deceased idol.

ON THE LIMITS OF CULTURE: WHY BIOLOGY IS IMPORTANT IN THE STUDY OF VICTORIAN SEXUALITY by ROBERT BURNS Under the Direction of Paul Schmidt ABSTRACT Much recent scholarship in Victorian studies has viewed sexuality as historically contingent and constructed primarily within the realm of discourse or social organization. In contrast, the following study details species-typical and universal aspects of human sexuality that must be adequately theorized if an accurate model of the ideological forces impacting Victorian sexuality is to be fashioned. After a short survey of previous scholarly projects that examine literature through the lens of biology—much of it marred by an obvious antipathy toward all attempts to discover the involvement of ideology in human behavior—this study presents a lengthy primer to the modern study of evolutionary psychology, behavioral genetics, and human sexuality.

  • OLLI Berkeley: Lafayette Library Campus Leonard Cohen: Tower of Song Tuesdays, 1-3 P.M
    OLLI Berkeley: Lafayette Library Campus Leonard Cohen: Tower of Song Tuesdays, 1-3 p.m. Jannie Dresser, MFA [email protected] April 3, 2018-May 8, 2018 Long before Leonard Cohen gained fame as a singer, he was a prize-winning poet and budding novelist. A Jew from a prominent Montreal family, Cohen became a peripatetic world traveler, discovered in Europe before finding fame in America. Cohen drew on diverse cultural references in songs of love, conflict, war and peace, and the vagaries of belief. In this course, we will: - Listen to and enjoy the music of one of the most inventive creative minds of the 20th century through the lens of some of the major influences that shaped him musically, poetically and spiritually. - Take a close look at three religious traditions (Judaism, Catholicism, and Buddhism) and how their imagery and insights permeate Cohen’s work and spirituality. - Explore how beauty and love ultimately framed Cohen’s life-path and shaped his art. - Apply the language of poetry and poetry technique to enhancing appreciation of Cohen’s songs. - Discover the impact Cohen had on other artists, and how he engaged with the arts community. Session 1 In My Secret Life: Transcending Biography through Art Session 2 If It Be Your Will: Leonard’s Judaism Session 3 Joan of Arc: Leonard’s Christianity Session 4 Heart the Shape of a Begging Bowl: Leonard’s Buddhism Session 5 I Came So Far for Beauty: Leonard’s Religion of Beauty and Love Session 6 Gift of a Golden Voice: Looking Back on a 50-Year Career; LC’s Lasting Legacy We will spend most of our time listening and discussing Leonard Cohen’s music.
