DIONNE: [In progress] —become important to their time not by seeking in a contrived and silly way something called relevance, they become important to their time by thinking clearly systematically and insightfully about public issues and public problems. And by that measure, Mike Sandel is truly one of our moment's most important political and public philosophers. So I loved it when Mike finally put out this collection called "Public Philosophy," of which we in general and, I personally believe, liberals in particular are very much in search of. I just want to read one brief passage from the beginning of Mike's book, which gives you a sense of how relevant his discussion is to our moment. He notes that the Democrats have been struggling for awhile over what some call the "moral values thing." "When Democrats in recent times have reached for moral and religious resonance," he writes, "their efforts have taken two forms, neither wholly convincing. Some, following the example of George W. Bush, have sprinkled their speeches with religious rhetoric and biblical references. So intense was the competition for divine favor in the 2000 and 2004 campaigns that a Web site, beliefnet.com, established a God-o- meter to track the candidates' references to God.

  • Viola Davis's Call to Adventure
    PROFILES DECEMBER 19 & 26, 2016 ISSUE VIOLA DAVIS’S CALL TO ADVENTURE How the star of “Fences” and “How to Get Away with Murder” got away from her difficult past. By John Lahr “I had a call to adventure, a call to live life bigger than myself,” Davis said. Photograph by Awol Erizku for The New Yorker n January 25, 2009, a jubilant Meryl Streep stood before a gala crowd at the O Screen Actors Guild Awards, in Los Angeles, having just won an award for her role in “Doubt,” the flm adaptation of John Patrick Shanley’s Pulitzer Prize- winning play about sexual abuse, race, and the Catholic Church. Clutching her statuette, Streep gave a shout-out to the rest of the cast. When she got to Viola Davis—who had earned her frst Academy Award nomination for her performance as the mother of an African-American boy a priest is accused of abusing—Streep saluted her colleague as “gigantically gifted,” then threw up her hands. “My God!” she said. “Somebody give her a movie!” The industry seems to have listened. Davis—“a newcomer at forty-fve,” as Streep later joked—has made twenty-one flms since then. Not all her roles have been large or central to the narrative arc, but, as Aibileen Clark, the maid who helps expose the folly of the white Mississippi matrons she serves, in “The Help”(2011), she was a popular success and gained a second Academy Award nomination. “No one had ever akst me what it felt like to be me,” Aibileen says at the end of the flm.

  • (Dis)Encounters in Oliver Stones's South Of
    101 HEMISPHERIC TRAVELLING AND (DIS)ENCOUNTERS IN OLIVER STONES’S SOUTH OF THE 1 Anelise R. Corseuil Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina RESUMO: O filme de Oliver Stone "Ao Sul da Fronteira", produzido em 2009, apresenta entrevistas e depoimentos de diversos presidentes latino-americanos, focalizando as diferenças políticas entre a América Latina e os Estados Unidos. Neste contexto, este trabalho analisa os discursos conflitantes subjacentes ao filme, quais sejam, seus discursos denunciatórios do neoliberalismo e o apagamento de diferenças nacionais da América Latina através da própria construção estética e narrativa fílmica e da projeção de um discurso democrata e anti-republicano, que perpassa a visão política da América Latina de Oliver Stone. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Documentário; Narrativas de viagem; Oliver Stone; América Latina. ABSTRACT: Military dictatorships, guerrillas and geopolitical conflicts in Latin- American countries like Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Nicaragua and El Salvador have been the object of analysis in various Canadian and American fictional films and documentaries in the last decades. Innumerable films and documentaries produced in Canada and the U.S. with institutional have depicted geopolitical conflicts in Latin America. Within this context of filmic production, this paper analyzes Oliver Stone´s documentary “South of the Border”, produced in 2009. Stone presents various interviews by former Latin American presidents. The film focuses on political differences between Latin America national politics and US foreign policies, as well as on US major TV Channels and its manipulation of the media, regarding Latin American political arena. The paper analyzes the conflicting discourses imbued in the film: its denouncing tone of neoliberalism and the erasure of Latin American national differences in the aesthetics choices and narrative techniques of the film.
