Events for Fall 2008The Arabic Program at CMC Presents: "An Evening of Arabic Poetry: Reading and Recitation" with Professor Bassam Frangieh Professor Bassam Frangieh is a self-described lover of poetry. “Poetry reflects the identity, culture and history of Arabs,” he said. Moreover, “repeated verse changes consciousness and views, as it is the rejection of everything ugly in life.” For his reading at the Athenaeum, he will include the modern poetry of Nizar Kabbani, Abdul Wahab Al-Bayati, Mahmoud Darwish and Adunis. He will read in Arabic and two students will provide the English translation.

Spanish Movie Night at CMC: Volver Three generations of women survive the east wind, fire, insanity, superstition and even death by means of goodness, lies and boundless vitality. They are Raimunda (Penelope Cruz), who is married to an unemployed laborer and has a teenage daughter (Yohana Cobo); Sole (Lola Duenas), her sister, who makes a living as a hairdresser; and the mother of both (Carmen Maura), who dies in a fire along with her husband. Volver is not a surrealistic comedy although it may seem so at times. The living and the dead coexist without any discord, causing situations that are either hilarious or filled with a deep, genuine emotion. The way in which the dead continue to be present in their lives, the richness and humanity of their rites mean that the dead never die.
