SUMMARY:January Series “Presidential Trappings: First Ladies\, Inaugurations\, Libraries\, and Ballot Design” Presented by New Canaan Library and New Canaan Museum & Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:As we part with an energized election season\, welcome the new year\, and look towards a presidential inauguration\, New Canaan Library and the New Canaan Museum & Historical Society are pleased to collaboratively present “Presidential Trappings\,” a series that explores the history of many intriguing aspects of our nation’s highest office.

Katherine Jellison\, Professor of History at Ohio University\, will present an overview of the role first ladies of America have played from 1789 to the present. Attendees will learn about first ladies over the years and the four major categories they fall into: the celebrity\, the controversial first lady\, the reluctant first lady\, and the political partner. Professor Jellison will focus particular attention on a first lady who embodied all four categories: Eleanor Roosevelt.\nKATHERINE JELLISON is Professor of History at Ohio University\, where she teaches courses on U.S. women’s and gender history. Her publications include Entitled to Power: Farm Women and Technology\, 1913-1963 (University of North Carolina Press\, 1993) and It’s Our Day: America’s Love Affair with the White Wedding\, 1945-2005 (University Press of Kansas\, 2008)\, both of which include “guest appearances” by a few first ladies.

They have presented at libraries and museums in Connecticut\, New York\, Massachusetts\, and Florida\, and are returning for their twelfth season at New Canaan Library.

SUMMARY:Professor Ronald Schurin Explores the History of Inaugurations in Session Two of “Presidential Trappings\,” Presented by Library and NC Museum & Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:January’s “Presidential Trappings “series\, presented by New Canaan Library and the New Canaan Museum & Historical Society\, continues Tuesday\, January 12 at 7 PM EST with Ronald Schurin\, PhD\, Associate Professor in Residence in the Department of Political Science at the University of Connecticut\, examining the history of inaugurations. The four-part series continues Tuesdays throughout January. Please visit newcanaanlibrary.org for a full schedule and to register. Zoom sign in information will be provided upon registration; each session must be registered for individually. \nAs a nation\, we have experienced 53 formal Presidential inaugurations since 1789 and another nine subdued ceremonies in which vice presidents took the place of presidents due to death or resignation. Some were moments of drama\, many were forgotten quickly\, and a few stand out as pivotal moments in American history. In this lecture\, Professor Schurin will examine the four categories that our 62 inaugurations fit into– ritual of orderly transition\, moment of reassurance\, sign of dramatic change—or something else? Attendees will also learn about special topics such as security issues in wartime\, presidential health and stamina\, and the tradition of outgoing and incoming presidents riding together.\nRonald Schurin is Associate Professor in Residence in the Department of Political Science at the University of Connecticut\, where he teaches courses on American political parties\, Connecticut politics\, education policy\, and politics and literature. A native of New York\, he holds a Master in Public Affairs degree from Princeton University and a Ph.D in Political Science from The City University of New York\, where his dissertation focused on Franklin Roosevelt’s efforts to transform the American party system. Prior to joining UConn\, Schurin served in the Department of Health\, Education and Welfare during the Carter administration and at CUNY. At UConn\, in addition to his faculty role\, he has served as Chief of Staff to the President. Outside of academia he has engaged in citizen-level political activity\, serving on the Mansfield Town Council and the local board of education. In 2012\, Schurin was one of Connecticut’s seven presidential electors.

SUMMARY:Library’s “Movements in Cinema” Series Explores Italian Cinema of the 1960s\, Presented by Professor Michael Cramer
DESCRIPTION:Although Italian cinema first gained international notoriety with neorealist films such as Open City and Bicycle Thieves released after WWII\, it reached perhaps its greatest commercial and artistic heights in the early 1960s. Join New Canaan Library in welcoming Michael Cramer\, Professor of Film History at Sarah Lawrence College\, who will explore the various factors and influences that produced some of Italy’s most renowned and artistic films. Professor Cramer’s talk is the second in New Canaan Library’s new cultural series\, Movements in Cinema\, and will take place via live webinar on Thursday\, January 21 at 7 PM EST. Zoom sign in information will be provided upon registration at newcanaanlibrary.org. \nAn economically burgeoning Italy resulted in a vital film industry willing to produce stylistically innovative and challenging films. Professor Cramer will focus on three major films released in 1960: Federico Fellini’s La Dolce Vita\, Luchino Visconti’s Rocco and His Brothers\, and Michelangelo Antonioni’s L’Avventura. Despite taking radically different approaches\, each of these films dissects Italy’s post-war “economic miracle” and the new culture and lifestyles that it made possible; all three directors combine inimitable personal signatures with the analysis of a newly prosperous Italy that seemed at once exhilarating and horrifying.\nMichael Cramer holds the position of Professor of Film History at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville\, NY. His areas of teaching and research expertise include Italian\, French\, and American cinema of the 1960s and 70s\, as well as film and media theory. He is the author of the book Utopian Television: Rossellini\, Watkins\, and Godard Beyond Cinema (University of Minnesota Press\, 2017) and co-editor of the forthcoming Fredric Jameson and Film Theory (Rutgers University Press\, 2021).
