Description: Like many of us wish we could do when life gets tough, Paul Beaumont responds to betrayal and despair by slamming the door on a life of culture and science and running away . . . to join the circus! In a provincial French town in the early 19th century Beaumont is re-incarnated as HE WHO GETS SLAPPED, a clown who can endure 100 slaps in the face, and have the audiences begging for more. His sad past comes back to haunt him, however, and new entanglements bring tragedy to the family of “artistes” that have made him one of their own among the aerialists, lion tamers and stunt people of this mesmerizing one-ring circus.

Description: This talk will examine the phenomenon of commercial caverns, or “show caves” as they are known in the trade, as a distinctive cultural expression. Douglas Powell traveled to more than two dozen such caves in the Appalachian Mountains over the last three years. Part earth art installation and part vaudeville sideshow, show caves are wonders for hire, as crass as that sounds, and yet they are also a sincere, eccentric effort to tell a story of the ways conflict and change etch the contours of the larger landscape. They are spaces of contradiction, complication, multiplicity and simultaneity, something worth taking stock of in a region (a nation, a world) where the dominant, rapaciously expanding landscape idiom is interstate Contemporary. Presenter Douglas Relchert Powell teaches writing, American literature, and cultural studies in the Department of English at Columbia College Chicago. He is the author of Critical Regionalism: Connecting Politics and Culture in the American Landscape, and co-editor of composing other spaces, a collection of essays on place and writing instruction.
