| Church Protest & Compliance During the Nazi Era |
| Presenter: Jeannette Graf |
Member tuition: $20.00 |
| Sessions: 1 Th – 5/11/2023 |
Time: 10:00 AM-11:30 AM |
| Location: GSC Concord, 25 Hall Street Concord, NH 03301 |
Between 1933 and 1945, German church members faced a serious moral question, would they ignore the increasing brutality of the Nazis against the Jewish population or would they protest and/or participate in the resistence. Church members responded in different ways. Some embraced Nazism so much that their churches were unrecognizable as Christian houses of worship. The vast majority capitulated. Some protested until it became too dangerous. Some were part of a network of committed resisters. This course will examine these varying approaches to see what motivated these different groups. Why was a small group able to break through and face a terrible authoritarian regime with courage? What can we learn today from these responses?

"Kiss Me Kate" and "Anything Goes" are just two of his widely known musical successes. Porter also made the dancing of Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell take on a new meaning and an Agatha Christie all-star murder mystery becomes truly memorable when set to the music of Porter. Join us as we discuss Porter’s work and view four sterling examples of what makes him one of our country’s most prolific writers and composers!

| Elizabeth Jane Gardner of Exeter: An Artist in Nineteenth Century Paris |
| Presenter: Rebecca Karo |
Member tuition: $35.00 |

All of Adolphe-William Bouguereau's work is available online so it is easy to see the range of his style and subjects. Elizabeth Bouguereau's work is also accessible - including the painting in the Exeter Historical Society which we might try to visit, either singly or as a group. We will place their work in its original context to find out why the Impressionists disliked him. He was the epitome of the Salon artist that the modernists, both disliked yet envied for his success. His art dealer was Durand-Ruel who nurtured Monet and other modernist painters who teased each other about 'drawing like Bouguereau'. Does Elizabeth Gardner Bouguereau need a separate discussion as women artists faced an uphill battle to succeed? William Bouguereau is being rediscovered, though, as museums are broadening their approach to nineteenth century French art to include the figural artists in the classical style, i.e., Bouguereau and his ilk. It will be fun and hopefully challenging for the class to decide what to do about the Bouguereau.

In this course, we will see photos of the beautiful faces of diversity in our communities, as well as images of immigrants in their daily activities. With over 60 countries of origin among N.H. residents, photographer Becky Field has traveled throughout the state to document cultural, ethnic and religious diversity. She also interviewed and recorded journey stories of immigrants who had to leave their countries to find a new home in the Granite State. We will read some of those stories and hear the voices of immigrants so that we can better understand the opportunities as well as the challenges that families face when they have to adjust to a new life in a strange land. Some came fleeing violence, some came for jobs or education, some came because they fell in love with a New Englander. The class participants will also be invited to share about their families' ethnic background. Discussion will focus on how we can be welcoming to the "other," both as individuals and as a community.

John Rogers (1829 – 1904) was both a talented artist and successful businessman whose statuary "groups" were very popular in the late nineteenth century. Called “The People’s Sculptor,” he was the first American sculptor to mass produce his work and worked mostly in plaster to make his sculptures more affordable. He sold as many as 80,000 sculptures during his lifetime and effectively brought the art of sculpture to the American middle class. Rogers got his start as a sculptor in Manchester while working as a mechanic in the machine shop of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company from 1850 to 1856. In his free time, he began modeling with clay that he found near the Merrimack River in Hooksett, which led to his career as a sculptor. Towards the end of his career, he gave one of his finest works, a seated statue of Abraham Lincoln, to the City of Manchester as a gift. This course will feature a slideshow presentation looking at Rogers' life and many of his sculptures. We will then have a chance to see some of his sculptures in the Manchester Historic Association's collection through a tour of the MHA Research Center building.

If you've ever wanted to play an instrument and felt that it was "too late", think again! If you do play another instrument and are looking for something fun and different, this is it! We'll start by learning the parts of the instrument and how to effectively note and strum to get a pleasing tone. We'll cover "tablature" - a simple system of notation that does not require note reading or any prior musical experience or skill. Simple melodies and harmonies will be uncovered; we'll learn about rhythm and pitch, and discover how we can all compose our own melodies on this instrument. Throughout the course we will discuss the fascinating history of one of only two American folk instruments. Can you guess the other?

Films have a long history of portraying mental illnesses in many dimensions. They have shown the patient to be either a monster or a victim; the therapists as either scheming villains, bungling fools, or compassionate heroes; and mental institutions either as chambers of cruelty or corridors of caring. In this class, we will look at some of the classic mental illness movies that the students have selected from the films in sessions I through IX as well as new movies. We will look at films revealing the cinematic approach to mental illness and how each movie helps us understand it.

The course will consist of a sequence of four sessions designed to provide some context about this creative period, suggest connections to other relevant topics, and offer an opportunity for discussion relating to participant experiences. The first session will be a broad introduction addressing several of the significant connections between these cities, and the factors that intensified the expressions of creativity in those crisis years between the great world wars. In the second session we will focus on Gertrude Stein. We will examine some of her own creative writing, but also the role she played in bringing together the significant artists and writers of the period by means of her Saturday evening salons. During the third session, we will explore the New York World’s Fair of 1939-40, and its significance as a symbol of progress despite the shadow of impending war. The fourth session will give us an opportunity for further discussion, likely the relationship between Stein and Picasso’s Cubism. Amid the context of individual achievements, it is possible to support some general conclusions about issues that still intrigue us, for example, the conditions of artistic freedom and the collaborative nature of creativity. (Note: It is not necessary to have taken Part I of this course. It is not a prerequisite for this course.)

Words have all kinds of special powers - as representation, promises, lies, stories, profanity, and more. How do we know what language is "doing" in any given context? What are or should be the ethical principles around language in these areas? We will look at theories about the relation of language to "reality" and whether language is one thing or many. We will explore ethical theories about when "lying" is and is not permitted. We'll ask whether we should have special rules for certain words that are considered profane or racist or threatening even when they are far from immediate action. We will consider theories from a variety of philosophical or even spiritual perspectives. As a group we can identify other areas of ethical interest.
