What: CLE:THE U.S RELATIONSHIP WITH KOREA
SINCE WORLD WAR II
The U.S. occupation of Korea at the end of WW II transformed the American relationship with that country. Within
five years the United States was engaged there in the first major hot war of the Cold War era.
Why did the U.S. occupy half of Korea in 1945? How and why did that occupation and its aftermath lead to the
Korean War? Why did the U.S. commit itself to the defense of the Republic of Korea following the armistice? Why has the alliance endured for a generation after the Cold War ended? How is the alliance likely to fare in the years to come? These questions will serve as the focal point for analysis and discussion.

What: CLE:A MUSICAL EVENING at BREVARD MUSIC CENTER
The Marriage of Figaro
Mozart’s opera “The Marriage of Figaro” is a witty, profound tale of love, betrayal and forgiveness, set in Count
Almaviva’s castle in Seville in the late 18th Century. It is based on a play by Beaumarchais and is a sequel to “The Barber of Seville.”
As the opera opens, the marriage of the Count and Rosina has gone sour because of his philandering. Figaro has
quit barbering and is now the Count’s major-domo. He is engaged to Suzanna, who is the Countess’ maid and the
Count’s intended conquest. Old Bartolo is back to seek revenge on Figaro for thwarting his claim on the young
Rosina, with the help of the slimy music-master, Don Basilio. Adding to the fun are an amorous teenager, a
scheming old maid, a drunken gardener, and a silly young girl. Much happens on a single crazy day.
This program will include a leisurely bus trip to the Brevard Music Center with a boxed supper before the
performance. (The performance will be the final dress rehearsal.)
Deadline for reservations is Monday, June 19

What: CLE:A TOUR OF THE UNIVERSE
The Ultimate Mega Transect
For the ancients, the Universe was Earth and what they saw in the heavens were events designed exclusively for their
benefit. By the Middle Ages, this view of the Universe had been elevated to religious dogma. Today we know that the
Universe is enormous, that it has existed for billions of years, and that we are not located at the center, because
there is no center. This course is an introduction to how our modern understanding of the Universe has evolved and a survey of our current understanding of the beautiful, astonishing, amazing, wondrous Universe of which we are a
part.

What: CLE: A TWISTED VINE
The Palestinian Israeli Conflict
The Palestinian-Israeli drama appears as one of the most intractable conflicts of the 20th century. This impression is
exacerbated by dueling (and often times obfuscating) narratives about the causes and issues of this tragedy. The
lecture will provide a scholarly and balanced view of the history of the conflict by way of explaining the elusiveness of resolution and peace between Jews and Arabs. We will trace this story from the emergence of Zionism and Palestinian nationalism to the Oslo Accords and later events in order to understand the opportunities and challenges facing both peoples.

What: CLE:THE LEGEND OF THE H.L. HUNLEY
In 2001 the first submarine to sink an enemy ship was raised from the depths of the Charleston harbor after being
submerged for 150 years. The technology built into this ship is still used in submarines being built today. As an
archaeological time capsule, it has become a great source of informational artifacts of the 1860’s. The recovery and
preservation of the various materials has become an international project, establishing new protocols that will
influence future undersea archaeology. Modern DNA and forensics have helped identify the crewmembers and what
they may have looked like. Clemson University’s artifact preservation techniques have established the standard for future maritime recoveries.

What: CLE: THE HUMAN FORM DIVINE
Portraits in Early Modern Literature and Painting
Our human identity is presented in a variety of ways through art and literature. This interactive presentation will consider both creative outlets. What does it mean to be a human being? What is a human’s relationship with God?
What constitutes beauty in an individual? What does it mean to be an individual? How does one participate in the world via the contemplative life or public service? We will consider the many answers to these and similar questions by reading excerpted texts from poets, theologians, and philosophers: Shakespeare, Milton, Ignatius, Luther, Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau. We will complement our inquiry by viewing and interpreting portraits by such painters as Massachio, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Brueghel, Poussin and Rembrandt.
