艾米·马茨克-福塞特著
活着意味着什么?
It's a large and complicated question, but an all-night event Jan. 诺福克斯洛弗图书馆25-26号, co-sponsored by 最靠谱的网赌软件 and the Cultural 服务s of the French Embassy in the United States, 将艺术家聚集在一起, 音乐家, 教育工作者, philosophers and many more from across Hampton Roads for a night of performance and programming.
创意之夜, or "La Nuit des Idées" in the original French, is a worldwide event being held in cities including Miami, 波士顿, 芝加哥, 洛杉矶, 旧金山, 布鲁克林和, 第一次, 诺福克. Celebrating this year's common theme of "être vivant,或者“活着”," the Night of Ideas celebrates the stream of ideas between countries, 文化, 话题与世代.
The goal was not only to put 诺福克 on the international stage, but to connect the university and the city, 彼得舒尔曼说, 世界语言和文化教授. Schulman attended a Night of Ideas at the Brooklyn Public Library several years ago and thought, “为什么不去诺福克呢?"
”在一起, we are merging the University with the city, 企业, 进行智力思考,舒尔曼说.
One of the unique parts of the event is the timing; it is a true nightlong event, running from 7 p.m. 到7岁.m., with concurrent workshops, plays, talks, debates and art. 创意之夜 takes a nugget of French culture and expands it into an event for everyone, 舒尔曼说.
“这似乎是一件古怪的事情, 整晚举行会谈和表演, but I can't say how proud I am of my colleagues for stepping up to make this happen,舒尔曼说. "It really shows great collegiality and civic duty from everyone involved."
