Tucson Humanities Festival 2017: Resistance & Revolution, a series of topical lectures, panel discussions and events, including noteworthy guests, presented by the
UA College of Humanities.
Dramatic shifts in human history tend to spring from small acts of resistance and revolution. Moments of principled defiance, quiet dissent and thundering discord create profound change: toppled governments, religious schisms and abrupt disruptions in the ways we live. What leads to those movements and those cultural breaking points? What comes after?
What can the acts of resistance and revolution in the past reveal about the modern world?

Symbols of Revolution: Legacies of Luther in Germany
PRESENTED BY:
Steven D. Martinson
UA GERMAN STUDIES
Martin Luther’s intemperate writings and unabashed public statements caused a whirlwind of religious and political turmoil that has reverberated across centuries. How has Luther been portrayed and employed at critical times of revolt and revolution in German history and culture, including National-Socialist Germany? How is Luther being received in German politics today? Martinson, the author of Between Luther and Münzer: The Peasant Revolt in German Drama and Thought, will speak as part of a year-long series of special events at the University of Arizona commemorating the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation: reformation.arizona.edu.
