CREATED:20260308T090125Z DTSTAMP:20260308T090125Z URL:https://www.facebook.com/ DESCRIPTION:George Handley, Professor of Humanities at Brigham Young University, will explore the thinking of Wallace Stegner and Wendell Berry about the importance of place in American culture and examine their diagnosis of our environmental problems. Assuming that Stegner and Berry are correct that Americans have lost a sense of place and history because of their increased mobility, why is it that communities in Utah, which are grounded in place and history, do not often share the environmental concerns that typically result from a strong belonging to the land? Part presentation and part reading from his memoir “Home Waters” and his new novel “American Fork,” Handley suggests that cultures that ignore the interdependencies of ecology and historical memory are more likely to be concerned with protecting territory and identity than protecting the earth. A more ecological and transcultural sense of belonging, therefore, will more successfully address the problems of global environmental degradation.

Ralph Ellison argued that as a way of compensating for our personal insecurities stemming from this flux, many of us hold tightly to pre-fabricated identities that do not reflect the actual complexity of our American selves. Carl Eric Scott, Assistant Director of the Center for Constitutional Studies at Utah Valley University, will introduce Ellison’s work by way of presenting several of the most archetypal characters of his novels and essays. In his great novel INVISIBLE MAN, Ellison uses such character types to illustrate the identity-adoption dynamic, even as he also illustrates the challenges posed to American blacks by a racist dynamic that is blind to individuals. The novel shows how both dynamics, not simply the racist one, threaten to twist into utter ruin the life of a promising young African-American, the “invisible man” of the title whose quest is to discover who he is. Or at least, who he isn’t. The rich account of America’s cultural mixing that runs through all of Ellison’s work amounts to far more than a rejection of the cruder strands of identity-politics, but is an effort to grapple with classic questions of democratic identity, and to be true to the unique complexity that is unearthed when one really digs into questions of African-American identity.

Religious diversity has long been a defining feature of the United States, but more remarkable is the variety of political visions embedded within religious traditions. His new book “Christian: The Politics of a Word in America” shows how concepts like liberty and equality are rooted in the transcendent claims Christianity offers. Yet differing Christian beliefs have led to disputes about what America should be. While many white American Protestants associate Christianity with western civilization, individual liberty, and capitalism, other American Christians believe the faith demands political projects as broad as economic communalism, international cooperation, racial egalitarianism, and social justice. A Q&A and refreshments will follow. This event is organized by Books & Bridges — a community institute of ideas and conversation, and funded in part by a UH Quick Grant. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Matt Bowman, Professor of History at Henderson State University, will trace the political history of what it means to say you are a Christian in America and how it informs your sense of what society and government should look like. Religious diversity has long been a defining feature of the United States, but more remarkable is the variety of political visions embedded within religious traditions. His new book “Christian: The Politics of a Word in America” shows how concepts like liberty and equality are rooted in the transcendent claims Christianity offers. Yet differing Christian beliefs have led to disputes about what America should be. While many white American Protestants associate Christianity with western civilization, individual liberty, and capitalism, other American Christians believe the faith demands political projects as broad as economic communalism, international cooperation, racial egalitarianism, and social justice.

At the very moment when Joseph Smith is affirming God’s dramatic reentry into the nexus of human affairs, a group of Romantic writers are asking what the absence of God from the universe might entail for human values and suffering. William Wordsworth and Percy Shelley create psychodramas where the adversaries are despair, meaninglessness, and nihilism, on the one hand, and faith in the indomitability of the human spirit on the other. Together with later writers Fyodor Dostoevsky and George Macdonald, these authors ask what kind of values may be affirmed in a world shorn of transcendence. They represent four distinct points along a spectrum of belief: The quasi-atheist Shelley, the quasi-pantheist Wordsworth, the Christian existentialist Dostoevsky, and the evangelical MacDonald. Out of the wreckage of hope, what values and meaning can be discovered? Joseph Smith offers the answer that what is most holy in God is what is most holy in us. A Q&A and refreshments will follow. The lecture is made possible by a grant from Utah Humanities.\N\NThis event is organized by Books & Bridges — a community institute of ideas and conversation. Our mission is to facilitate discussion on the best of human thought. We explore the wisdoms of the world and apply them to modern life. We have no political, religious, or ideological affiliation.

In 1967 when Argentina’s Sudamericana Press published the latest work by a relatively unknown Colombian author based in Mexico City, few could have predicted its impact on the world literary scene. With “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” Gabriel García Márquez achieved a rare balancing act between commercial success, popular recognition, and critical acclaim. His book brought Latin American literature to the fore internationally and remains the most translated Spanish-language literary text of the 20th-century. But what is left of this celebrated novel after its remarkable trajectory and global canonization?

Together we’ll explore two central topics: Mindfulness and Craving. These ancient discourses reveal a “radical empiricism,” in which all opinions and dogmas are rigorously tested against our own direct experience. Even if we have no interest in becoming Buddhists, studying these discourses will make us more attentive to our own lives, more honest to ourselves, and clearer about our own thoughts and feelings. Venkatesh will take an approach that is at once psychological, philosophical, and literary.
