The 2011 edition held for the first time in Paris at the Grand Palais</div>

Considered lost since 1939, the so-called Mexican Suitcase is in fact three boxes containing 4,500</div>
<div align="left">
negatives documenting the Spanish Civil War by Robert Capa, Chim (David Seymour), and Gerda Taro.</div>
<div align="left">
There are also several rolls of portraits of Capa and Taro by Fred Stein. Besides offering new images by</div>
<div align="left">
these major photographers that provide a comprehensive overview of the war, the cache of negatives</div>
<div align="left">
also includes previously unknown portraits of Ernest Hemingway, Federico Garcia Lorca, and Dolores</div>
<div align="left">
Ibarruri (known as “La Pasionaria”).</div>
<div align="left">
“Capa, Chim, and Taro risked their lives to witness history in the making and show it to the world, and</div>
<div align="left">
the Mexican Suitcase contains some of their most important works. Its recovery set in motion a profound</div>
<div align="left">
shift in the study of these three photographers,” said ICP Assistant Curator Cynthia Young, who</div>
<div align="left">
organized the exhibition, which was on view at ICP’s midtown galleries from September 24, 2010 to May</div>
<div align="left">
8, 2011. “The material contained in the Mexican Suitcase documents a turning point in the history of</div>
<div align="left">
photojournalism.”</div>
<div align="left">
In the process of researching the negatives, the authorship of numerous images by Capa, Chim, and</div>
<div align="left">
Taro has been confirmed or reattributed. This material not only provides a uniquely rich and panoramic</div>
<div align="left">
view of the Spanish Civil War, a conflict that changed the course of European history, but also</div>
<div align="left">
demonstrates how the work of these legendary photographers laid the foundation for modern war</div>
<div align="left">
photography. Appearing throughout the international press, their innovative and passionate coverage of</div>
<div align="left">
the war was both engaged and partisan. While overtly supporting the antifascist Republican cause, their</div>
<div align="left">
dramatic photographs vividly recorded battle sequences as well as the harrowing effects of the war on</div>
<div align="left">
civilians.</div>
<div align="left">
The exhibition received high praise from reviewers and visitors alike as it provides a glimpse into the</div>
<div align="left">
photographic process that few see. As a review of the exhibition in </div>

were also committed to a new style of wartime journalism, which found photographers embedding</div>
<div align="left">
themselves right in the center of combat and shooting, rapid-fire and up-close, everything around them.</div>
<div align="left">
This total immersion, made possible by increasingly hand-held cameras, generated huge numbers of</div>
<div align="left">
images. And that’s what you get in this show: hundreds and hundreds of tiny pictures lined up edge to</div>

edge on contact sheets to create a display of a kind that museumgoers rarely encounter but that</div>

Paris Study Abroad </h1>
<h3>
Winter 2013</h3>
<h4>
What Is Study Abroad?</h4>
Study Abroad gives students the chance to expand their world by traveling outside of the U.S. while earning credit toward their BYU degree. Study Abroad is guided by a BYU professor in the field and offers lectures, study, and research on-site. Field trips to important locations of cultural and historical significance support the program’s academic aim and bring life to theories and principles gained in the classroom.<br />
<br />
Through cross-cultural and linguistic immersion in Study Abroad, students gain tools in world learning and are better able to serve in a globalizing world.<br />
<h4>
Paris</h4>
Paris has for centuries been an intellectual and spiritual center of Western Civilization. In the thirteenth century both Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas, the two greatest theologians of the Middle Ages, studied or taught at the Sorbonne, the world's second oldest university. In the seventeenth century Pascal and Descartes, both prominent mathematicians and philosophers, laid foundations for modern thought. A hundred years later, Paris was the center of the Enlightenment, guided by the capable hands of philosophes Voltaire, Diderot, and Rousseau, the latter a transitional figure who also introduced Romantic ideals that in turn sparked the French Revolution. Following the excesses of that tragic time, Paris settled into a more tranqil existence, marked in literature by Stendhal, Balzac, Hugo, and Flaubert, in music by Chopin, and in art by Gericault and Delacroix. The Belle Epoche, which closed the nineteenth century, spawned new notions including artistic Impressionism. Not surprisingly, in the twentieth century, Paris assumed its rightful place as a central forum of intellectual, philosophical, cultural, and political discussion, while, most recently, Parisian thinkers ignited the fires of postmodernism and other modern critical theories.<br />
