Elliott's Fanfare Lecture has been postponed, but will be rescheduled soon.
1 pm  Pottle
Music Building Auditorium
Then and Now Lecture: Charles Elliott, “Here Comes the Sun King: Louis XIV in Film, Music and Popular Culture” The well-known Louisiana historian and Southeastern professor discusses Louisiana’s namesake -- perhaps the most famous, revered, and reviled monarch in history -- revealing how the Sun King cultivated a particular image in popular culture as a grand gesture in propaganda and power, and how his modern reputation suffers from Anglo-American bias against the French and wider misperceptions of the nature and reality of Bourbon absolutism.
