We are now announcing a new study abroad opportunity for UW Oshkosh students - in Scotland!!! Immerse yourself in Scottish culture and become a part of the community of Dalkeith! Join UW students from around the System for a semester or summer in Scotland. Study under University of Wisconsin and University of Edinburgh professors while living in Dalkeith House, an 18th century manor house known to the Scots as Dalkeith Palace. The program includes planned extracurricular activities to acquaint students with various facets of British culture, history, politics, and daily life plus course-related field trips, house field trips and time for independent travel around Scotland or Europe. Internship Obtain practical experience in your field of study! WIS offers a limited number of unpaid internships at multiple internship sites (semester program only). Friendship Family Take advantage of this incredible opportunity to spend time with a Scottish family and enhance your understanding of the Scottish host culture! While you do not live with the family, you may be invited for meals, occasional outings to local points of interest or other family activities. This free host family program is offered during the fall and spring semesters; placement depends on the number of students who sign up. Location WIS takes you to Dalkeith, a bustling village just six miles southeast of Edinburgh in the Midlothian region of Scotland. Edinburgh and the surrounding region provide an ideal environment for educational programs. The richness of British history, politics, literature, poetry, arts, and other subjects come alive at every turn. Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland since 1124, is a classic European city. There the medieval grandeur of Old Town, crowned by Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood House, joins harmoniously with the modern attractions of New Town. The natural beauty of the Scottish landscape and its coastline provide a majestic background for exploration, education, and enrichment. The Dalkeith Estate (the estate on which Dalkeith House is located) is pastoral living at its finest. There are several nature trails, fishing, the adventure park and all sorts of animals: sheep, cattle, horses, ponies, pigs, goats, pheasants and fox, just to name a few. There is also a full time ranger service. Although seventy students may be studying through WIS each semester/summer, a number of UW System institutions send students on this program and only approximately fifteen seats are available to UW Oshkosh students (the program is administered through UW-River Falls). For more information on the application process, please visit http://www.uwosh.edu/oie/faqs.html. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at oie at uwosh.edu, call us at 424-0775 or stop by to see us in Dempsey 146!

An exhibit of paintings by Li Hu, part of this year?s university/community Dragonboat Race and Festival, will explore the Chinese-born artist?s fascination with the changing face of Chinese culture, particularly in Shanghai. It will be at the Gloria Floether Steinhilber Gallery in Reeve Memorial Union, 748 Algoma Blvd., through Oct. 5 . An artist reception will be 6:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 22, the first day of UW-Oshkosh Fall Fest and the day before the Dragonboat Race and Festival. Hu?s ?Chinese Dowager Empress? paintings explore portraiture, an art form that has fallen out of favor in more contemporary art, as they present the transformation of modern China. UW-Oshkosh Artist Li Hu ?These paintings present portraits in a modern light, and they use the background as a means to represent the transitional Chinese landscape to represent the transitional Chinese culture,? Hu said. ?The modern landscape shows the shift of traditional Chinese culture to modern culture, which has been significantly influenced by Western, particularly American, culture.? Hu spent four weeks in China this summer and was amazed at how Shanghai had changed in the past six years. With a population of more than 14 million, the city?s evolution made it look ?like a brand-new city,? he said. Hu?s family and social circle include many artists, and he marveled at how the city?s economic growth has affected them. Artists who create more controversial works paint in rented, suburban facilities, and private collectors are willing to pay top dollar for their creations. As the traditional heart of Shanghai gives way to exclusive housing complexes, the richest of the rich have moved in and the older homes?with the poor people who live in them?are melting away. The middle class has moved to the suburbs, which are showing signs of Westernization and the influence of the exploding economic growth. Kohler bathroom fixtures and Kentucky Fried Chicken franchises were popping up everywhere, Hu noted. In the government-controlled museums, there is little room for controversial works, Hu said. But that does not mean there is no demand for Chinese paintings. ?An artist friend I know had a 30 by 40-inch painting recently sell at a New York auction for nearly $1 million,? he said. Hu said that communist China ?closes one eye and opens another? when dealing with works that show suffering and the oppressive culture. ?If you are too aggressive in how you speak out, they will, most likely, come after you,? he said. ?If you can be more subtle, the government is likely to ignore you.? Hu?s UW-Oshkosh exhibit, however, stays away from heavy political themes. ?The Dragon Boat Festival is a time to celebrate Asian culture,? he said. Hu, who won a UW-Oshkosh Endowed Professorship this year, has been a member of the faculty since 1994. The gallery is open 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Lengths of films shown may vary. All films are in >their native language with English subtitles. > > October 18, 2006, Breathless >A young car thief kills a policeman and tries to persuade a girl to hide >in Italy with him. Renowned filmmaker Francois Truffaut once remarked, "Of >all Jean-Luc's films, it is Breathless that I prefer. It is a >heart-rending film. In it there is deep unhappiness and even, as Aragon >says, 'deep, deep, deep unhappiness.'" In writing about Breathless, >meanwhile, critic James Monaco has observed, "What impresses us about >Godard's films is their collage of cultural data and artifacts. Godard's >characters are afloat in a raging sea of images and sounds, metaphors and >syllogisms, political half-truths and cultural clich?s. And if there can >be said to be one central action that unites and connects the various >films, it is the battle to rescue life from abstraction, to return to the >comfort of the concrete." Directed by Jean-Luc Godard (In Praise of >Love). France, 1960. > > November 1, 2006, Stroszek >In Berlin, an alcoholic man, recently released from prison, joins his >elderly friend and a prostitute in a determined dream to leave Germany and >seek a better life in Wisconsin. Historian Jack Ellis has written, "Of >all the new German film makers, Herzog may be the most original and >imaginative; certainly his work is the most varied." Historians Kristin >Thompson and David Bordwell have added, "Herzog's allegiance to the silent >cinema was evident in his belief that sheerly striking images could >express mystical truths beyond language . . . The loosening of cause and >effect characteristic of the art cinema finds one apotheosis in Herzog's >dedication to the rapt contemplation of the pure, timeless >image." Directed by Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man). Germany, 1977. > > November 15, 2006, The Eel >Acting on the advice of an anonymous note, Takuro Yamashita returns home >early one night to find his wife in bed with another man. He kills her >then turns himself in to the police. After being released from prison, he >opens a barber shop. He helps save a woman from a suicide attempt, after >which she works at his shop. It becomes clear that she has romantic >affections for Takuro, but his reciprocation is redirected towards his pet >eel. Directed by Shohei Imamura (Dr. Akagi). Japan, 1997. > > November 29, 2006, The Devil's Backbone >It is 1939, the end of three years of bloody civil war in Spain and >General Franco's right-wing Nationalists are poised to defeat the >left-wing Republican forces. A ten-year-old boy named Carlos Fernando >Tielve, the son of a fallen Republican war hero, is left by his tutor in >an orphanage in the middle of nowhere. The orphanage has an odd assortment >of characters and an unexploded bomb in the middle of the courtyard. It >also has the ghost of a boy named Santi, a previous resident of the >orphanage, whose death may not have been what it appears. With the >orphanage left defenseless by its isolation, and the swift progression of >Franco's troops, the small group of characters must find a way to survive >amid increasingly distressing events. Directed by Guillermo del Toro >(Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth). Spain, 2001. > > February 7, 2007, Run Lola Run >The film explores the events that fate alone controls and displays the >constant "what if's" that occur every moment and that can easily change >the happenings of the next. The film follows the events between a woman, >Lola, and her boyfriend, Mani, who she desperately tries to save from >death by helping him obtain a huge amount of money he carelessly lost. It >takes you on three different journeys with Lola, all controlled by fate, >showing you what would happen in each, and all the "what if's" that >provide the foundations for each outcome. Directed by Tom Tykwer (The >Princess and the Warrior). Germany, 1998. > > February 21, 2007, Platform >Set in Fenyang, Shanxi Province, the film focuses on a group of amateur >theatre troupe performers whose fate mirrors that of the general >population in China as massive socio-economic changes sweep across the >mainland. The film commences in 1979 with the troupe performing numbers >idolizing Mao Zedong, ending in the '80s when the shows reflect the strong >Western influences pervading China, covering a decade in which China saw >tremendous changes. Directed by Zhang Ke Zia (The Pickpocket). China, 2000. > > March 7, 2007, Six in Paris >Six vignettes set in different sections of Paris, by six directors. St. >Germain des Pres, Gare du Nord, Rue St. Denis, and Montparnasse et >Levallois are stories of love, flirtation and prostitution; Place d'Etoile >concerns a haberdasher and his umbrella; and La Muette, a bourgeois family >and earplugs.
