from Lawrence, Sunday PhiloMadrid meeting: Modernity + LOTs of News incl Saturday

For Saturday: tertulia sobre Matemáticas + language exchange + Visits to the British Cemetery in
Madrid and a message from Ceit and Marie-Aimée

Dear Friends,
This Sunday we are discussing: Modernity.
Carmen has sent us some ideas about her subject plus we have lots of activities going on; please
check out the details below.
----------from Carmen----------
Hi there!
It would be wrong of me not to do a little introduction to the topic chosen at the gathering:
Modernity.
Modernity is opposed to the traditional, which is more than just saying it´s something new, against
the old. It is rather quite creative independence and contrary to the established and inherited.
For instance, in architecture it is called the "modern movement", developed in the years 1928-1959,
whose main characteristic was the functionality and use of orthogonal forms, as opposed to the
organic shapes and reference to previous ages.
At the moment it seems that it is considered a "modern life" as healthy living, without artifice,
"natural life", without manipulation (apparently!). Lived as our ancestors lived (¿?)
Take care and see you on Sunday,
Carmen

Hi Lawrence,
Over the weekend I saw a poster advertising a production of Marlowe's Faust at Teatros Canal. I
don't know if it's something that interests many people, but it certainly interests me.
Unfortunately, I can only attend on Saturdays because of my TOEFL course. But, if others are
interested maybe we could meet for a drink or something before or after. I plan on going on March 3
and Blanca thought she might go too. There is a discount for large groups, but it needs to be 20 or
more people. Here's the link: http://www.teatroscanal.com/1000357000101/doctor-faustus__1.html
See you Sunday
Ceit
------------Marie-Aimée -----------
Marie-Aimée (phone: 635125185), a native French speaker and experienced teacher, is looking for:
1. Persons (or companies) for her courses interested in learning French
2. A native English speaker for language exchange

Best
Lawrence
