Woody Allen to Jazz Up
San Diego Holiday Season
As a director, Woody Allen masterfully uses jazz music
to shape the mood of his movies. But Allen also is
a veteran clarinet player, who performs every Monday
night to sold-out houses at the Carlyle Café in New
York City. Now, ArtPower! at UCSD is bringing Allen
and his New Orleans Jazz Band to the Copley Symphony
Hall on Dec. 19 for a rare appearance outside of the
Big Apple. More

Gauging the Impact of Marine Reserves
Scripps Grad Students Traveling Through Caribbean
to Learn What Conditions Allow Fish and Reefs to Thrive
A few weeks ago, a graduate student at UCSD’s
Scripps Institution of Oceanography dove off the Yucatan
Peninsula, 
in an unprotected area not far from Cancun. He hardly
saw a fish. On some parts of the reef, corals were
sick or all together missing. Then he dove in protected
waters off the island of Cozumel. A completely different
landscape awaited him. Large schools of snappers were
swimming around a healthy reef. He saw plenty of large
groupers too. More

Transforming Internet Trash into Art
 Found objects have been transformed into art since at least 1917,
when Marcel Duchamp famously displayed an overturned urinal as his
"Fountain." But alumnus Alex Dragulescu has put a decidedly
21st-century
twist on the concept: The Romanian-born artist, now manager of UCSD's
Experimental Game Lab, "recycles" Internet trash.

Empire to Nation: Historical Perspectives on the Making
of the Modern World
Edited by Joseph W. Esherick, Hasan Kayali
and Eric Van Young
The fall of empires and the rise of nation-states was a defining political transition in the making of the modern world. As United States imperialism becomes a popular focus of debate, we must understand how empire, the nineteenth century's dominant form of large-scale political organization, had disappeared by the end of the twentieth century. Here, ten prominent specialists discuss the empire-to-nation transition in comparative perspective.
