A SCORELESS START
Despite outshooting Ohio State 22-7, Duke could not find the back of the net
The Blue Devils were shut out by the Cardinal in a rematch of the 2011 NCAA title game

After the skies had cleared, the lightning had disappeared and an hour delay had gone by, the Blue Devils took to the field for their season-opener against Ohio State. Unfortunately for Duke—despite dominating the shot count—none of its many offensive chances could find the back of the net. Backed by a goal scored by Cary, N.C., native Alexis Degler in the 67th minute, the Buckeyes were able DUKE 0 to overcome being 1 outshot and outOSU played for most of the match and claim a 1-0 victory against the No. 10 Blue Devils in Chapel Hill. This is the first season-opener Duke has dropped since 2004. “We did so many good things and we created so many chances so you feel bad for the team here because I thought we played really, really well,” head coach Robbie Church said. “But the final component is finishing goals…. College soccer’s not a beauty contest. You have to be tough, you have to battle, and you
Just as it did nearly three years ago in the 2011 national championship game, Stanford broke a scoreless tie against Duke by winning a ball in the midfield and netting a header goal off a rightside feed after 50 minutes of deadlocked play.

Women’s Basketball
McCallie inducted into Maine Basketball Hall of Fame Amrith Ramkumar Reporter Although she has garnered numerous accolades for her accomplishments as a coach, Thursday evening it was Joanne P. McCallie’s playing career that earned her a unique honor. Duke’s head women’s basketball coach was one of 16 players inducted into the Maine Basketball Hall of Fame at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine.
McCallie was part of the inaugural class, which also featured four coaches, one official and one contributor. McCallie moved around a lot as a child during her father’s career in the U.S. Navy, but eventually settled in Maine, where she was a two-time All-State selection at Brunswick High School before earning a scholarship to play at Northwestern. Returning to the state where she learned the game and joining so many other inductees who influenced her playing career—and the subsequent 26 years in coaching—has caused McCallie to focus on one specif-
ic aspect of her coaching philosophy as she enters her eighth season with the Blue Devils—relationships. “It was a great honor and privilege to be there,” McCallie said. “Obviously it was wonderful to be part of the inaugural class, but I think the thing that separated the experience was that I’m so related to all of those people. [The connections] just went on and on. If you look at the totality of it, it’s the relationships that we all had in loving basketball and loving the state of Maine.

Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie was elected into the Maine Hall of Fame for her time as a player back in the 1980s.
WHAT WE’LL DO ABOUT IT: Promote, recognize, and reward both chivalrous behavior and deeper more respectful relationships across campus.
WHY WE’RE DOING IT: People complain about social culture at Duke, but either no one does anything about it,or if they have, it hasn’t worked. We’re going to change that through society events, education, recognition of chivalrous and respectful actions across campus, and by rewarding select individuals for being role models of what we believe in.
HOW WE’LL DO IT: Discuss our values and create a community of Duke Students who believe: • We will choose the harder right over the easier wrong • We will be strong enough to be guided by our hearts and heads, not by the whims of, nor for the acceptance of those around us • We will be the men and women that would make our families proud • We will provide aid to, rather than take advantage of, those in need of help • We will follow the Diamond Rule of treating ourselves as we want others to treat us • We will make deposits in peoples’ emotional bank accounts and not expect anything in return • We believe that the reward for a job well done is to have done it • We know our reputations are built through many interactions but can be ruined by one • We know that we are free to choose our actions but not to choose our consequences • We know that we can’t talk our way out of what we’ve behaved ourselves into • We know that being faithful in love and loyal in friendship can lead us to happiness.

Blue Devils drop rivalry exhibition to Tar Heels Delaney King Beat Writer Facing a conference opponent in the preseason, the Blue Devils were shown a few areas they might need to tweak before the regular season begins. Duke fell 3-1 in a friendly scrimmage against rival North Carolina Sunday at Jack Katz Stadi3 um. The Tar Heels UNC 1 sealed their win Duke in the second half with two unassisted goals, leaving both teams to turn to their regular season slates. “We want to beat each other always,” head coach Pam Bustin said. “There’s always this awesome rivalry that’s long before me. But to come and have such a healthy, highly competitive preseason match is priceless.” North Carolina’s attack—which led the conference in shots last season— did not give Duke’s defense a chance to rest for the entire game. Outshooting the Blue Devils 17-8, the Tar Heels fired one shot after another upon Duke’s defense. The backfield was commanded by sophomore Kelsey Wagner, who managed six saves during the first full 70-minute appearance of her career. On the other end of the field, the Blue Devils fought to maintain last year’s

Duke will have its chance to avenge Sunday’s loss to its Tobacco Road rivals in the Oct. 17 regular season rematch between the two teams. strong offensive effort led by since-graduated Emmie Le Marchand. Just three minutes after the Tar Heels took a 1-0 lead, a pair of freshmen playing in their second-ever collegiate competition got Duke on the board. A defensive stop from freshman Ainsley Gill led to an attack that ended with classmate Alexa Mackintire converting a penalty corner for her first goal as a college athlete. “[Scoring] was really exciting,” Mackintire said. “Obviously it was just a scrimmage, but I think we have a lot of potential for the season, and we’re all really
excited for that.” Play in the second half began with the score tied at one goal apiece. Maintaining its fast-paced attack, North Carolina fired off eight shots before the end of the game. The first to find the back of the net came 19 minutes into the second half, when a corner penalty shot was successfully deflected past an outstretched Wagner, putting the Tar Heels up 2-1. Another goal four minutes later came after the Blue Devils narrowly missed converting a corner penalty that would have evened the score. A North Caroli-
na forward moved the ball on a solo fast break, increasing the lead with 10 minutes left to play. “Today’s a great experience and opportunity for us to just grow and learn,” sophomore forward Heather Morris said. “Today we wanted to focus on Duke field hockey. It was good to get the film, and we’ll look at it and see what we did wrong, and I just think it’s a really good opportunity to play someone as strong as North Carolina and build off of that.” See Field Hockey on Page 11

Shades of Red Sports and race could not have more opposite positions in our country today. One of them is the catalyst of 24-hour news coverage; the other people try to avoid touching with a 10-foot pole. But the summer of 2014 was bookended by two racially-fueled conflicts in sports, and all it demonstrated was that issues concerning race relations are every bit as subjective as they are complex. It all began with the scandal surrounding Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, who was caught on a recording claiming he did not want African American fans attending his team’s games with his girlfriend, V. Stiviano. Sterling’s Clippers—whose head coach and star point guard are both black—nearly boycotted a playoff game as a result, and a chorus of voices from around the league called for his removal as an NBA owner. Newly-minted NBA Commissioner and Duke alum Adam Silver made an unprecedented decision when he banned Sterling from the league for life four days later. In a move that likely overstepped the commissioner’s powers as granted by the league’s constitution, Silver’s decisive move garnered widespread support from across the sporting world. There is no question that Sterling does not deserve to be an NBA owner, but Silver didn’t need to ban him from the league in order to achieve those ends. Silver was confident—and rightfully so—that the league’s owners would vote Sterling out of power by a threefourths margin. With sponsors withdrawing millions of dollars of revenue from the Clippers each day and

Duke wraps up perfect preseason Staff Reports
Khloe Kim | The Chronicle
Behind the goals of senior captain Jake Butwin and freshmen Markus Fjørtoft and Jeremy Ebobisse, Duke completed its first perfect preseason since 1999.
Look for it in The Chronicle on Monday, September 8
Also, be sure to visit:
The Student & Employer Diversity Symposium Tuesday, September 9 from 1-3 pm at The Freeman Center
Duke men’s soccer accomplished something Friday night it had not done since 1999—complete a perfect preseason. The Blue Devils defeated the College of Charleston 3-2 in front of the newly settled-in Class of 2018, as the game followed the New Devil’s College of 2 Night pep rally for the freshman Charleston Duke 3 class. Ironically, it was a pair of freshmen that powered the Blue Devils to the victory in front of their classmates, which sealed a 3-0 preseason record for the team. Prior wins against Old Dominion and Radford coming the week before were blowouts, as Duke outscored the pair 9-1. Friday’s contest seemed to be heading in the same direction before a late charge from the Cougars. Duke jumped out to a 3-0 lead and by the time the Cougars found the back of the net in the 71st minute, the Blue Devils had the game all but decided. Freshman Markus Fjørtoft—son of former English Premeir League and Norwegian national team player Jan Åge Fjørtoft—netted the first goal for the Blue Devils in the 28th minute of the game off an assist from senior Sean Davis on a corner kick. Fjørtoft met the ball above the rest of the crowd in the box and headed the ball home past Cougar goalkeeper Alex Young. The goal was his first in a Duke uniform. Senior captain James Butwin followed up Fjørtoft’s goal with a six-yard tap in via a ball from Macario Hing-Glover in the 41st minute to push the Blue Devil lead to 2-0 heading into halftime. Duke would not wait long into the second half to stretch the lead, as freshman Jeremy Ebobisse scored from 12 yards out just 50 seconds into the second half. The College of Charleston made things interesting late in the second half, scoring a pair of goals within 1:09 of one another. T.K. Abderahaman beat Duke goalkeeper Wilson Fisher from 12 yards out to close the gap to 3-1 with 18:02 remaining in the game. Nico Rittmeyer would add on at the 73-minute mark, firing a 14-yard shot past Fisher from the top of the box to make it a one-score game and seemingly put his team right back in the contest, with an opportunity to play spoiler looming. But the Blue Devils would not be denied their perfect preseason, as they held off the Cougars for the remainder of the contest to keep their 3-0 record intact. This all came when the second and third-team players were in the game. And although the pair of goals allowed were no doubt not optimal, their onfield response in the following 17 minutes in which displayed a veteran sense of composure is something that has been rarely seen in previouw preseasons. The two goals from the freshmen capped a successful preseason for the touted rookie class, which is ranked by many outlets in the top five in the nation. If the Blue Devils want to see the success they have had carry over into the regualr season, they will have to continue to feature quality play from their rookies. Duke will face Loyola Marymount next Friday at 7:30 p.m. in its regular season opener during the John Rennie/Nike Invitational in front of its home crowd at Koskinen Stadium. It will be followed with a Sunday contest against Stetson to conclude the tournament.

OHIO STATE continued from page 2
have to fight.” The Blue Devils came out firing against Ohio State, dominating the pace of play throughout the early portion of the first half. The first shot of the game came just 71 seconds into the game for Duke as freshman forward Imani Dorsey forced Buckeye goalkeeper Megan Geldernick to make a nimble, diving save. Through the first 20 minutes of the match, the young Duke squad maintained complete control both on the offensive and defensive ends of the pitch, limiting Ohio State’s possession of the ball and making key tackles on the rare occasion that the Buckeyes were able to break out into a counterattack. “We had some great chances the first part [of the match],” Church said. “We hit balls high to the goalkeeper and she made some saves, and we hit some balls in near post a little bit too, we just weren’t composed on those chances. But we created some really good opportunities.” Toward the end of the first half, Church began to play around with his attacking four, making several substitutions and rotations up front including moving senior Kelly Cobb from the left midfielder position to her more natural center forward position and bringing in sophomore Rebecca Quinn—making her first appearance with Duke since returning from playing with the Canadian national team in the U-20 World Cup—to play the right midfield position. The mixing up of players in the attacking third seemed to be paying dividends for Duke as the players created several scoring chances going into the half but just were not able to find the right touch and find the back of the netting. Despite commanding the game throughout the half, the Blue Devils only attempted six shots in the first half with three of them finding the target. It was in the second half that Duke began to pour on the shots. The Blue Devils attempted 16 shots in the second half with nine different Duke players attempting a shot to complete a 22-7 shot advantage over the Buckeyes. Duke continued to push the pace early in the second half, containing Ohio State’s attack and allowing few opportunities past midfield for the Buckeyes. Even with the Blue Devils playing so well, it was one fatal mistake that would end up costing them the match. After a turnover by Duke in its defensive third in the 66th minute, junior midfielder Michela Paradiso beat the only defender in front of her to get a one-onone shot on net against redshirt junior goalkeeper Ali Kershner. Kershner made a spectacular diving save to her right but the ball bounded off of her outstretched hands to the wide-open Alexis Degler just outside the left side of the six-yard box. With Kershner scrambling to recover and no Duke defenders in sight, the sophomore midfielder was able to put the ball home relatively easily. It was the only goal the Buckeyes would need. Despite the loss, there were plenty of positives to build on for the Blue Devils, especially with the return of their captain Gilda Doria. In her first action since the 2012 season, Doria totaled 34 minutes played at the holding midfield position and did not attempt a shot. “It felt amazing just to put my jersey back on and just step on the field with my teammates,” Doria said. “I think that was what really was driving me really the whole time during rehab and it’s just an unbelievable experience. An unfortunate result but on to the next one.” The starting lineup for Duke set a school record for the amount of freshmen starting in the season opener. The five Blue Devil freshmen that made their debuts—Dorsey, along with midfielders Casey Martinez and Ashton Miller and outside backs Morgan Reid and Schuylet DeBree—bested the school record set back in 2002, when four freshmen started for the Blue Devils. As all the young players will learn, the team doesn’t have much time to sulk over the loss, as they had to get right back to the pitch Sunday to face No. 6 Stanford in their second and final match of the UNC Nike Classic. “This is a learning lesson, I think, for the younger players,” Cobb said. “I think it’ll show how mature [they are] when we turn around and come out this Sunday because in college soccer you play a game, you get one day off, and then you play again.”

back of your net.” Two days after outshooting Ohio State by 15 in a season-opening loss to the Buckeyes, the Blue Devils struggled to create much space for themselves, firing just two shots in the first half without coming near the frame. After starting five freshmen against Ohio State, Church put four first-years on the field Sunday and also brought sophomores Christina Gibbons and Rebecca Quinn back into the lineup. The two just returned to Durham Tuesday after playing at the U-20 World Cup, and Gibbons said she is still learning her new teammates’ styles of play. Stanford (2-0) also had few opportunities in the opening period after having defeated fourth-ranked North Carolina after 100 minutes in its first match of the UNC Nike Classic. The Cardinal came closer to putting a tally on the board in the first half as senior forward Chioma Ubogagu put a free kick on target from about 25 yards out in the 24th minute, and teammate Lo’eau LaBonta hit the left post on her shot off the rebound. Coming out of the break, Church made one change, opting for the veteran in redshirt senior midfielder Gilda Doria—who had recorded one of Duke’s two shots on goal in the 2011 final—and replacing defender Morgan Reid and moving Christina Gibbons from outside midfield to right back. Doria, one of three captains, had come off the bench in both games so far after suffering a hamstring injury early in the preseason and returning to practice Monday. “With such a young team, you need veteran leadership,” Church said. “You need her soccer brain. She’s been up and down and she knows the world’s not ending being 0-2 coming out of this tournament.” Although the Blue Devils earned a corner kick and held possession deep into Stanford territory in the first 10 minutes after the restart, the Cardinal capitalized on its possession at last when freshman Andi Sullivan found senior Hannah Farr on the right wing, who took her time to find LaBonta streaking in to the far side of the box for a headed score. “They won a ball at midfield by an inch or so. The girls slid right there and knocked it free,“ Church said. “They played a ball out. We have to close that service out better…. and we let a girl get in between us. Did that look like the national championship or what?” Less than 90 seconds later, Duke had its best chance to equalize. Coming up from her holding midfield position, Doria raced through the box to get her head on a cross from freshman forward Imani Dorsey, but the ball sailed over the frame. “It was just served out form the left side of the field and I just ran through the box to get my head on it but again, just one opportunity isn’t enough. We need to keep creating more shots,” Doria said. For the rest of the second half, Duke shifted to more offense-oriented formations, first moving up one back, then leaving two defenders on the back line. “We’re not going to ever play for a game to be close,” Church said. “We’re always going to play to win in this program.” The Blue Devils managed to fire off five second-half shots, but did not put any on goal, and the Cardinal eventually broke through Duke’s shorthanded defense as senior Haley Rosen received the ball around the six-yard box for an easy finish with less than six minutes to go. Stanford kept Duke scoreless for the season to seal the win, but Doria, like Church, believes that the young team will benefit from the lessons learned. “Although this is an unfortunate weekend, I think great teams come out of adversity,” Doria said. “So I’m looking forward to the rest of the season.”

FIELD HOCKEY continued from page 4
The Tar Heels entered Sunday’s matchup after averaging 20.3 shots per game in the 2013 season. Last year’s Blue Devil defense managed to hold its opponents to just 13.1 shots per game, leaving some work for this year’s backfield. Bustin maintained a constant rotation throughout the scrimmage, allotting playing time for more than two-thirds of the roster and almost every freshman. A large part of any team’s preseason is devoted to incorporating the freshmen class in time for the regular season. The seven newcomers make up Duke’s largest freshmen class since 2010 and hail from a variety of hometowns, some as far as Vancouver, B.C. Six of the seven freshmen saw the field
against the Tar Heels, with Mackintire as part of the starting lineup. “We have seven newcomers and they’ve never seen this level of hockey and endured 70 minutes of this kind of pressure,” Bustin said. “It’s a lot of hard work, but they’re willing to put that in, and I’m really pleased with the leadership that emerged today from some of our seniors and upperclassmen.” The Blue Devils are set to open their regular season Friday, Aug. 29, when they face Michigan State in East Lansing, Mich. Along with hosting the ACC tournament and far-away opponents such as California, Duke will also get a chance at revenge for the scrimmage Oct. 17 when the Tar Heels return to Jack Katz for a regular season rivalry matchup.

MCCALLIE
continued from page 3
Izzi Clark | Chronicle File Photo
In her seven years as Duke head coach, Joanne P. McCallie has racked up 202 wins in additon to three ACC Championships and four Elite Eight appearances.
It was a special night.” Of the relationships special to the first person to win a conference title in four different Division I leagues, four in particular stood out from Thursday’s event. One of the coaches inducted along with McCallie— Bob Brown—taught the 2005 National Coach of the Year how to shoot a basketball. Brown’s son Brett is currently the head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers and was inducted as a player. Another coach, Dick Whitmore, led multiple basketball camps that McCallie attended. Amy Vachon—the daughter of inducted coach Paul Vachon—helped lead McCallie’s Maine squad to an upset of seventh-seeded Stanford in the 1999 NCAA tournament and is currently an assistant coach at Maine. Finally, one of the players that was a pioneer for women’s basketball in the state like McCallie—Rachel Bouchard—was an assistant coach on McCallie’s staff with the Black Bears. The web of connections McCallie has formed made the two-time ACC Coach of the Year reflect on the longevity of her program and the nine Blue Devils currently in the WNBA, as well as several more overseas. “It’s a wonderful thing to have relationships and to be able to see people evolve,” McCallie said. “Whether it’s Tricia Liston learning the ropes in Minnesota, Chelsea [Gray] on her comeback with Connecticut, or Haley [Peters] getting her contract in Spain, going through the full experience where you recruit student athletes, they come to Duke, they have an incredible four years, they graduate and then they go on to future success [is special]. There’s a lot said about wins and losses, but it really is about relationships.” McCallie’s visit to her roots and the resulting personal reflection have her looking forward to the upcoming season despite losing five key contributors from last year’s squad. “At this point it really gives you a chance to reflect on where you came from, and how you’re trying to use those values to teach and grow young people,” McCallie said. “I’m really excited about my current team. I’m sure this event impacts me directly, which allows me hopefully to be better for my team.” Although Duke returns just one starter from last year’s team, the Blue Devils also added five talented players this season with potential to contribute right away. Four of the new faces are touted freshmen—dynamic guard Sierra Calhoun, versatile post players Azura Stevens and Erin Mathias and a more traditional, powerful post player, Lynee’ Belton. Stevens, Mathias and Belton join All-American center Elizabeth Williams and returning posts Oderah Chidom, Kendall Cooper and Amber Henson, giving McCallie seven players 6-foot-3 or taller at her disposal. The fifth player new to Duke is junior point guard Mercedes Riggs, a transfer from Salt Lake Community College who averaged 8.9 points, 5.1 assists and 2.5 steals per game last year. The well-rounded group of newcomers should give the Blue Devils a chance to remain one of the best teams in the ACC despite the heavy turnover in the program. “What I’ve loved about them is that they’ve been very focused and very driven to do the training and preparation,” McCallie said. “They all had great summers. They’re an interesting group because they’re so dynamic, yet diverse in their skill sets and how they play the game. They’ve been so low-maintenance, it has almost been scary. They’re ready to make a difference.” Always contemplating how she and her team can improve, McCallie has already started thinking about what the tallest team in Duke history needs to do to excel on the hardwood when the season starts. “We’ve got length and a lot of experience in the post, so I think there will be certain shifts because we will emphasize our post play and our ability to feed [the post] from all parts of the court,” McCallie said. “There’s a common theme of simply everything taking care of business, ball-handling and being able to set plays, [so] there’s [also] a confidence factor we’re going for. It’s a good group—they all just want to be successful together.”

Department of Asian & Middle Eastern Studies Exciting courses for Fall 2014 For more information please contact 668-2603 AMES 214 Music of East Asia M 7:30 -10:00
The study of music traditions within cultural and social contexts in China and Korea. Through readings and guided listening to both recorded and live music, students will develop an understanding of the components of these music-cultures and the ways in which tradition and change, identity and hegemony, belief systems and patterns of social interaction are encoded and made manifest in musical practices. Musical institutions and forms of expression will be studied in relationship to important historical events and the religious and political philosophies of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Shamanism, Maoism, and Industrial Capitalism and globalization. Cross listed with Music 234; Religion 245. Professor Jonathan Kramer
**NEW** AMES 223 History and Culture of Iran Th 4:55-:55 A multidisciplinary approach to Iran and Persian culture. Covers history, religion, politics, literature, music, and cinema. Focuses on the developments in Iran leading up to and after the 1979 revolution. Does not require any knowledge of Persian or previous background. Cross-listed with History 248 and Religion 283 Professor Omid Safi AMES 272S Korean Lit in Translation Tu 12:00-2:30
This course examines literature, film, and art from the early-20th century to contemporary North and South Koreas. The course is structured around the broader theme of “Borderland Koreas” and will consider translations, travels, and trespassings across fluctuating borderlines of nations, gender/ sexuality, languages, and ideologies. Topics contextualized in histories and legacies of colonialism, Korean war, Cold War, partition, and the impact of globalization and migrations to China, Japan, and the U.S. No prior knowledge of Korean language or culture required. Cross-listed with Lit 239S. Professor Nayoung Aimee Kwon
**NEW** AMES 328S Literary Islam W 3:05-5:35
Literacy and literature have been critical to elaborating the message of Islam, even while this message was articulated in a largely oral culture. This course looks at how the Qur’an as scripture was received, interpreted, lived, and articulated in an oral culture. We read the mystical, apocalyptic, Meccan suras as well as the more narrative, legalistic Medinan suras. We explore how Islamic literature negotiates an Islamic spirituality in the material world, through the narrations of the hadith, stories about the Prophet’s life, mystical literature, love poetry with elements of the divine, wine poetry with devotional aspects, and Islamic philosophy. ARABIC 321S-01 fulfills Arabic language credit, meaning that you will read the texts in Arabic. If you enroll in AMES 328S-01, you read and discuss the texts in English. Cross -listed with Lit 328S and Arabic 328S. Professor Ellen McLarney
**NEW** AMES 340S Death and Identity TTH 1:25-2:40
Death plays a crucial role in emergence of the modern self. Even as with the advent of modernity, death appears to have lost some of its mystique, it has lost none of its power--and perhaps have gained more power--to define the ways we think of ourselves and of our place in the world. This class takes a comparative look at how “death” informs our identity. It explores the tension between the religious death and secular death, between “modern” death and “primitive” death, between a “worthy” death and “unworthy” death. Comparing notions of death and the self in the Middle East and East Asia, it probes the particular role played by the Jewish experience of the 20th century in shaping post WWII self. Cross-listed with AMI 344S and Jewishst 340S. Professor Shai Ginsburg
AMES 413S Vampire Chronicles TTH 1:25-2:40; M 7:30-9:45
From Dracula to Buffy and beyond, this course will examine literary and cinematic representations of vampirism, focusing in particular on their implications for our understanding of sexuality and desire, gender identity and ethnic alterity. In addition to the Western figure of the vampire per se, we will also consider related traditions in other cultures, particularly in China. In particular, we will use the cross-cultural circulation of vampiric traditions as a starting point for thinking of vampirism as a symbol of circulation in its own right. We will also look more broadly at the circulation of blood through the body politic, and particularly modern economies of blood donation and blood selling. Cross listed with AMI 217S, ICS 406S, SXL 231S and Womenst 231S. Professor Carlos Rojas
AMES 415S INTERETHNIC INTIMACIES: Production and Consumption of “Asia” Th 12-2:30pm
This course examines the cultural politics and the political economies of “interethnic intimacy” or “intercourse,” broadly defined, as represented in literature and visual culture from and about Asia. From missionaries and picture brides to movements of transnational capital and labor, from techno-Orientalism and “Asian exotica” to international adoptions, from virtual realities to military prostitution to interracial romance, the encounters of different racial or ethnic identities trigger deep anxieties and pornographic fascination from the past to the present. Together we examine such shifts within and beyond “Asia,” and ask why cultural representations matter in the ways societies produce and consume objects of proximity and distance, of desire and repulsion. Texts from literature and visual culture will be read along with theories of critical race studies, gender and sexuality, postcolonialism, globalization, visual culture, and other representative technologies of the self/other. Cross-listed with Lit 415S; Culanth 415S; AMI 415S; ICS 415S; Womenst 415S; AMES 515S. Professor Nayoung Aimee Kwon
AMES 423S Intro Modern Arabic Literature TUTH 3:05-4:20 The course aims at introducing the student to the trends and movements in modern Arabic literature. Poetry, drama, novel, and short story among other genres will be examined and analyzed. Nobel Prize winner Naguib Mahfuz, Al-Tayyib Salih, M.Darwish, Nizar Qabbani, as well as prominent women writers will be considered critically. Middle Eastern Jewish literature will be covered by texts, movies, and guest speakers. Professor: Abdul Sattar Jawad Check out our Language courses too: Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Sanskrit, and Tibetan
threatening to do so with other teams should Sterling stay in the league, the NBA’s owners would have almost certainly shown Sterling the door—if nothing else to remain on the right side of history. Had the league’s owners been allowed to vote, the same result would have been met and Sterling would likely have received a fraction of the $2 billion pricetag his wife negotiated with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. Silver’s swift and decisive action was deemed a necessary one from a business standpoint. This isn’t to say that Silver’s actions weren’t rooted in his morals, which I believe they were, but money talks—and when you’re the commissioner of a multi-billion dollar league, sometimes money has to shout. According to the league’s 2013 Racial and Gender Report Card, 76.3 percent of players and 43.3 percent of head coaches in the NBA are African American. On the day the Sterling ban came down, statistics guru Nate Silver projected that 31.4 percent of NBA fans are African American. Ultimately, a swift ending—constitutionally acceptable or not—was better than allowing the saga to drag out and risking further alienation of a significant portion of the league’s employees and fan base. Alienating a fan base is not something that concerns Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder or NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Snyder came under fire this summer for refusing to change his team’s name— which has existed since 1933 and is considered a racial slur against Native Americans. But there are only a handful of Native American players in the NFL. The league’s office has just one Native American employee, according to its 2013 Gender and Race Report Card. The 2010 U.S. Census listed Native Americans as 1.7 percent of the country’s population, which means that the demographic makes up an even smaller portion of the NFL’s fan base. I spent a weekend at Redskins training camp this summer to try and understand why Washington fans still chanted their team’s name with such fervor. It didn’t take me long to find the answer—all I had to do was look around. Market research from Experian Simmons conducted before last year’s Super Bowl indicates that 83 percent of NFL fans are white. It’s pretty easy to not be offended by a racial slur when you aren’t the one being targeted. If Washington’s NFL team had a name that was instead a racial slur toward whites, blacks, Asians or Hispanics, we would definitely be having a different conversation. Until Goodell has significant business interests to protect like Silver did, he will not be forced to make the same unprecedented decision. Remember this: Sterling was kicked out of the NBA for his racist ideals, but never actually uttered a racial slur on that recording. Snyder has deluded himself into believing that his team’s name is a badge of pride and the ownership of his team has never been in question. The sad part of this situation is that the NFL’s interest continues to grow each and every year—even when ignoring overt racism by a team representing our nation’s capital. The league’s branding is as close to indestructible as it gets. Even fans that are outraged by Washington’s name will still turn on their TVs to watch the NFL every Sunday. If there was an easy solution to racial tensions, someone would have figured it out by now. Even as our nation embraces diversity in ways it never would have dreamed of when Washington named its team nearly 80 years ago, today’s issues are so far from black and white. What the summer of 2014 left us with are two events on completely divergent paths. One ended with the intervention of the league’s commissioner in a move that was debatably necessary—the other rages on because the league’s commissioner stands idly by when he should intervene. Maybe it’s time for Adam Silver to give Roger Goodell a call.
