Lecture—Recent Discoveries at Sardis: From the Bronze Age to the End of Antiquity
Lecture—Recent Discoveries at Sardis: From the Bronze Age to the End of Antiquity
Sardis was one of the most important ancient cities of western Turkey—it was the birthplace of coinage, capital of the Lydian king Croesus, and site of one of the Seven Churches of Asia. In this biennial lecture, director Nicholas Cahill, professor of art history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and director of the Sardis expedition, will present new discoveries, research, and conservation projects of 2018–19. He will share new evidence for occupation in the Early Bronze Age, almost a millennium earlier than previously believed; the remains of the Palace of Croesus and the capture of Sardis by Cyrus the Great; the largest arch in the Roman world; and information about patronage in the sixth century CE.

Work by the Archaeological Exploration of Sardis is authorized by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism and has been sponsored by Harvard University and Cornell University since 1958. Current conservation work at Sardis is also supported by an award provided by the U.S. Government, Department of State, U.S. Embassy Ankara. This biennial lecture series presents the latest research from the site to the Harvard and greater Boston communities.
Lecture Note: Prof. Paul Kosmin states that Nick Cahill became director of Sardis following the death of Director Crawford H. Greenewalt, jr. Prof. Greenewalt, jr. passed away in May of 2012, a few years after Nick Cahill had become director of the Sardis expedition in 2008.

This often riveting and deeply moving portrayal then examines his early career as a commercial artist from the 1950s into the 1960s, when he produced his renowned silkscreen Pop paintings (including the famous Campbell's Soup Cans) and his iconic “repetitive” celebrity portraits—an artistic expression that would launch him directly into the world he so desperately craved. Through interviews with an array of confidants—as well as a selection of rare stills and film footage—the documentary portrays an extremely insecure man, who found grace in the imperfect and along the way redefined how we think of art and culture.

Michele Gelfand | Rule Makers and Rule Breakers: How Tight and Loose Cultures Wire Our World
Subscribe to Hidden Forces and gain access to the episode overtime, transcript, and show rundown here:
In Episode 103 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with cultural psychologist Michele Gelfand, who argues that the world’s cultures can be classified into two categories by virtue of their norms. She offers a lucid explanation of how and why cultures become tight or loose, outlining their different societal attitudes. This episode is full of eye-opening insights for development professionals, policymakers and those working in international business.
According to Gelfand, tight cultures have a large number of social norms that enforce order and conformity and tend to evolve in nations that face many natural and human-made threats. Loose cultures, on the other hand, have more lenient norms and tolerate a wider array of behaviors. They generally face fewer chronic threats – but may tighten up temporarily in the event of an acute threat. Furthermore, says Michele, tight and loose cultures each have advantages and disadvantages and it’s possible to modify a nation’s norms in order to address protracted social problems. This is also true in the private sector. In a particularly relevant part of the conversation, Michele describes how businesses also develop tight or loose cultures and how a cultural mismatch can doom a merger or undermine cooperation among a corporation’s divisions. The example she provides is that of Chrysler and Mercedes Benz, but Demetri also raises the example of AOL-Time Warner, perhaps the most prominent failed marriage of the late 90’s stock market boom.
“Tight” cultures, like Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and Germany, embrace rigid norms and mete out harsh punishments for those who deviate. “Loose” cultures, including New Zealand, the United States, and Brazil, are more tolerant of a wide assortment of behaviors. According to Dr. Gelfand, when countries, families, companies, and US states all act in accordance with their divergent conceptions of “normal,” misunderstandings and conflict often arise that help to explain many of the phenomena we encounter in daily life, business, and politics.
The overtime to this week's episode includes a conversation about changing cultural norms in the workplace, as well as how the norms in some western countries began to change after terrorist attacks.
This overtime segment, as well as the transcript and rundown to the full episode, are available to audiophile, autodidact, and super-nerd subscribers through the Hidden Forces Patreon Page.

Rights and Racism: The Complex Legacies of Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Elizabeth Cady Stanton: An American Life Untidy Origins by Lori Ginzberg
Recognizing the centennial of women’s suffrage in New York State, Lori Ginzberg, Professor of History and Women’s Studies at Penn State University, discusses her recent book, Elizabeth Cady Stanton: An American Life. Known as a social activist and American suffragist, Elizabeth Cady Stanton [1815-1902] was a prominent figure in the early women’s rights effort. Her story, however, is not entirely heroic. Like all leaders, Stanton was a complex figure, whose absolutism about “woman’s rights” contained a racist and elitist stand that continues to shape her legacy.
