Many of the monuments list individual names, a gesture of remembrance that has since become a central convention of memorial art.<\/p>\n<p>But often soldiers\u2019 families craved more personal tribute.

The center incubates interdisciplinary study of an annual theme\u2014last year, environments, and next year, expertise and evidence\u2014through public lectures, workshops, and a slate of fellowships for internal and external scholars at all professional ranks.<\/p>\n<p>Joan Rubin, the Dexter Perkins Professor in History and the Ani and Mark Gabrellian Director of the Humanities Center, calls promoting interdisciplinary research a foundational part of the center\u2019s mission: \u201cThe exchange of ideas with faculty members who hold assumptions different from one\u2019s own\u2014who invoke theories, apply methods, or know about materials that put a researcher\u2019s subject in a new light\u2014is essential to insuring that a scholar\u2019s contributions to knowledge remain fresh and original,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<div class=\"side-right\" style=\"width: 33%;\">\n<h3>A home for the humanities<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/humanities\/\">Humanities Center<\/a> was created in 2015 to enhance the study of the humanities at Rochester and to strengthen ties to related disciplines. It offers a place to come together for students and faculty who want to exchange ideas, develop research questions and projects, and explore the application of technology to humanistic study.<\/p>\n<p>The center also brings together a number of longstanding humanities-centered programs at the University, including the Distinguished Visiting Humanist program, the Ferrari Humanities Symposia, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/humanities\/programs\/index.html\">Central New York Humanities Corridor<\/a>; and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/humanities\/programs\/humanities-project\/\">Humanities Project<\/a>, which supports lectures, workshops, and symposia throughout the academic year.<\/p>\n<p>With a permanent home in Rush Rhees Library, the center is at a crossroads of the River Campus. But it also makes its presence felt locally, through public lectures by prominent public intellectuals and collaborations with other area institutions. And its national fellowship program extends its influence well beyond Rochester&#8217;s borders.<\/p>\n<p>Joan Rubin, the Dexter Perkins Professor in History and the Ani and Mark Gabrellian Director of the Humanities Center, wants the center to benefit all Rochester students: &#8220;I firmly believe that an appreciation for the humanities and an understanding of human culture are central to what it means to be an educated citizen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/news\/intersections\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-300032 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/intersections.jpg\" alt=\"logo graphic reads: INTERSECTIONS.

Probing British national culture from a variety of angles in her research, she examines material culture, literary culture, history, and politics. She investigates the World War I poets\u2019 hold on the British imagination; Virginia Woolf\u2019s invention, in <em>A Room of One\u2019s Own<\/em>, of William Shakespeare\u2019s gifted, thwarted sister, \u201cJudith Shakespeare\u201d\u2014an act of imagining that London reads as a \u201ccounter monument, if only an ephemeral one, to the memorials to the \u2018glorious dead\u2019\u201d; \u00a0and the official blotting from memory of the \u201cshot at dawn\u201d soldiers, executed for cowardice and other military offenses, and the recent, successful campaign to pardon them posthumously.<\/p>\n<p>The fellowship, she says, has been an opportunity to situate her project within the larger context of memory studies and to move beyond purely literary and historical perspectives to harness also the insights of musicology, visual studies, and political philosophy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing exposed to other disciplinary perspectives, and other theoretical work on the subject, expands the ways that I think about what I\u2019m doing and think about the ways that my own work might speak to multiple audiences,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esm.rochester.edu\/faculty\/baldo_jonathan\/\">Jonathan Baldo<\/a>, this year\u2019s other Bridging Fellow, is a professor of English at the Eastman School of Music. He has been investigating issues of remembering and forgetting in early modern England for almost 25 years. Over the course of that time, memory has changed from a relatively idiosyncratic interest to one widespread among early modern literature scholars, especially experts on Shakespeare.<\/p>\n<p>Baldo is the author of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.routledge.com\/Memory-in-Shakespeares-Histories-Stages-of-Forgetting-in-Early-Modern\/Baldo\/p\/book\/9780415896832\"><em>Memory in Shakespeare\u2019s Histories: Stages of Forgetting in Early Modern England<\/em><\/a>. (Routledge, 2012), and he\u2019s particularly interested in how the Reformation\u2019s upheavals affected memory in Shakespeare\u2019s lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShakespeare may have been raised in a secretly Catholic family, although it\u2019s not absolutely established,\u201d he says. \u201cSome of the traumatic events under the Protestant King Edward VI are only a couple of decades before Shakespeare\u2019s birth. And then, 11 years before Shakespeare was born, the nation turned Catholic again under Queen Mary\u2014and then Protestant again five years later.\u201d Such turmoil surely bled into the times when Shakespeare was writing his history plays in the 1580s and 1590s, Baldo contends: \u201cThe history plays ask the question, is memory a divisive issue? Is it something that divides rather than unites the English people?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through his fellowship project\u2014 \u201cPostmemory, Prosthetic Memory, and the English Reformation\u201d\u2014he seeks to introduce to Shakespeare studies two related concepts about memory. The first, coined by literary and gender studies scholar Marianne Hirsch, is \u201cpostmemory\u201d\u2014it refers to the experiences of people born a generation after a cultural trauma, who remember the events only through stories, images, and behaviors they encounter growing up. \u201cProsthetic memory,\u201d a term invented by historian Alison Landsberg, also describes taking on memories of events one didn\u2019t experience, but Landsberg focuses on how private memories of collective historical events can be created through encounters with mass products of mass culture, including books, movies, and\u2014the height of popular culture in Shakespeare\u2019s day\u2014plays.<\/p>\n<p>In his relationship to the Reformation, Shakespeare would have been part of just such a \u201cgeneration after,\u201d Baldo says. He calls Shakespeare a \u201ctraumatist\u201d\u2014a \u201cdramatist who helps his audiences process traumatic memories and who also explores with his audiences various healthy, just, and productive ways of recalling the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the support of his fellowship, Baldo is also developing a course for Eastman students on the literature of remembering and forgetting, an opportunity for them, as musicians, to consider how the arts and humanities are repositories for cultural memory and their potential also to offer alternatives to official accounts of history.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think memory is one of those subjects that\u2019s so fundamental,\u201d he says. \u201cWithout it, we have no sense of identity, either personally or as a group, and you can come at it from so many angles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a great subject for bringing colleagues from across the University together.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Meet a few Humanities Center fellows<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Intellectual exchange is at the heart of the Humanities Center, with programs for undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. The center\u2019s fellowship programs\u2014supported for their first three years by Jay \u201951 and Deborah Last\u2014are an important part of that exchange. The fellowships bring together scholars in a broad range of fields from within the University and without, to carry out research and engage with students and other scholars at the center.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_304032\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-304032\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-304032\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dan-Blim.jpg\" alt=\"Dan Blim\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dan-Blim.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dan-Blim-32x32.jpg 32w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dan-Blim-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dan-Blim-64x64.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dan-Blim-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dan-Blim-128x128.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-304032\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dan Blim, an assistant professor of music at Denison University.
