Support. Act. \n\n\nThe World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims is a global event held every third Sunday of November to honor those who have lost their lives or been impacted by roadway crashes. This year on November 16\, communities across the globe\, including several dozen in the United States\, will gather together to demand actions towards improving roadway safety and to uplift proven strategies\, including redesigning dangerous roads\, reducing speed limits\, and improving vehicle design. \nWe will hear from local elected officials\, city staff\, community leaders\, and families who have lost their loved ones to traffic violence. \nSlowing Down Saves Lives. With the recent expansion of the Automated Speed Cameras to 5 new corridors\, more communities will benefit from slower speeds along roads like Broad St. However\, because the legislation only allowed for 5 additional corridors\, roads like Lehigh Avenue are missing out on life saving enforcement technology. We will remember the 109 people lost in Philadelphia since last November\, talk about solutions that could save more lives around Fairhill Square Park\, improve the livability of the neighborhood\, and allow the already vibrant area to thrive. \n11 am press conference followed by lunch at 12 pm.

Tolkien watched an avant-garde art form known as Futurism become all the rage. Shaped by industrialization and by admiration for new machinery\, Futurism celebrated speed\, acceleration\, and the whirl of technical innovation\, earning it another name\, Vorticism\, in Tolkien’s England. \nAlthough remembered mainly as a writer\, Tolkien also was an accomplished pen-and-ink artist who kept abreast of the art movements of his time. He developed a distaste for Futurism and what it signified that only grew stronger as he experienced the horrors of modern warfare as a soldier at the 1916 Battle of the Somme. He regarded what Futurism celebrated as “the Machine\,” representing fascist politics and apocalyptic war\, and his opposition to it deeply influenced not just his art but his written works. \nGain insights into how Tolkien’s sensibilities as a visual artist shaped his worldview and writing with Graham McAleer\, a scholar of philosophy who has closely studied Tolkien’s work. \nProfessor McAleer will look at how Tolkien’s lore can be seen as one long meditation on beauty and its problematic twin\, vanity\, with what separated them most in Tolkien’s mind being their respective approaches to time: Beauty is patient\, vanity is not. \nWe’ll look at Tolkien’s argument that that impatience mars beauty and corrupts our standing in a cosmos\, and we’ll consider his characterization of his own work as “cosmogonical drama” dealing with the universe’s origins. You’ll learn how his tales of Dark Lords squaring off against elven queens and genial Hobbits reflect his view that war is always a dispute about beauty. \nYou’ll come to see Tolkien as having grappled with a profound philosophical question that dates back to Plato\, and you’ll emerge from the talk with a much deeper understanding and appreciation of Tolkien’s works. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus processing fees. Doors: $17\, or $15 with a student ID. Doors open at 3:30 pm. Talk starts at 4:30.) \nImage: A bust of Tolkien at Oxford.
