"Enemy Number One": Lion Feuchtwanger and the Literature of Exile
Wed, Sep 29, 2010 @ 12:00 PM - 01:30 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Receptions & Special Events
The USC Libraries are home to the papers and library of historical novelist Lion Feuchtwanger, who escaped his native Germany after Adolf Hitler rose to power in 1933. Because he was an outspoken critic of the Nazi Party, the Nazis ordered his books burned and declared him âEnemy Number One.â The libraries recently published a new edition of Feuchtwangerâs The Devil in France, a memoir of his internment and escape from Nazi-occupied France. He wrote movingly about the political situation in Europe and his experiences as an exiled writer. He later escaped to Los Angeles, where Theodor Adorno, Bertolt Brecht, Fritz Lang, Thomas Mann and other German émigré artists and intellectuals gathered during World War II. Feuchtwangerâs story illuminates the struggles faced by artists who speak truth to power and endure exile from their native countries.
In conjunction with this new publication and in honor of Banned Books Week, join us for a panel discussion on censorship, repression and writing in exile with Feuchtwanger Fellow Christopher Mlalazi, a Zimbabwean playwright and poet who was placed under government surveillance for writing critically about the Mugabe regime; Michelle Gordon, professor of English at USC; Wolf Gruner, professor of history at USC; and Cornelius Schnauber, director of USCâs Max Kade Institute. Following the panel, visit USCâs Feuchtwanger Memorial Library and see an exhibition of rare photos and other materials related to German exiles in Los Angeles.
Admission is free.
Refreshments will be served.

AME Seminar
Wed, Sep 29, 2010 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. David Cesario, Assoc. Prof. of Medicine, Cardiac Electrophysiology, Keck School of Medicine, USC
Talk Title: Engineering in Cardiac Electrophysiology
Abstract: Cardiac electrophysiology is a field with tremendous interaction between engineering and medicine. On a daily basis we use tools such as implantable pacemakers to improve patient's lives by increasing their heart rates. We also place implantable cardioverter defibrillators that have the potential to rescue patients from life threatening arrhythmias. Additionally, we use tools to map abnormal heart rhythms to their exact location within the heart and then to ablate the abnormal cardiac arrhythmias, potentially curing these arrhythmias. The goal of this talk is to expose students to some of the engineering technology that is used in cardiac electrophysiology to better patients lives and improve their health.
Host: Dr. F. Browand
