  • Hebrew College Announces Sale of Newton Centre Campus
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Alan Sherman Vice President of Marketing and Advancement 617-559-8690 [email protected] Hebrew College Announces Sale of Newton Centre Campus Will Rededicate Resources to Educational Programs and People Newton Centre, MA – August 17, 2018. As Hebrew College nears its 100th year, it continues to create opportunities for innovation, ensuring that the College’s centennial anniversary will mark the beginning of another century of excellence in Jewish learning and leadership. In another transformative transaction in the College’s distinguished history, the Hebrew College Board of Trustees yesterday finalized an agreement to sell the College’s Newton Centre campus. The agreement allows Hebrew College to remain in its current location for several years under favorable terms. “Hebrew College is uniquely positioned as a leader in pluralistic Jewish education, and we are committed to meeting our learning community’s evolving needs with responsibility and creativity,” said Hebrew College President Rabbi Sharon Cohen Anisfeld. “This transaction lays a strong foundation for future growth, and we are tremendously excited for the opportunities that lie ahead.” Andy Offit, Chair of the Hebrew College Board of Trustees, commented, “In addition to reducing operating costs, this transaction will allow Hebrew College to be debt-free for the first time since the move to this campus more than 17 years ago. This will afford us the ability to rededicate precious resources to expanding our educational programs and investing in the people who truly make Hebrew College what it is.” The College’s leaders determined that the sale of Hebrew College’s property in Newton Centre is a smart strategic decision that will allow for greater investment in critical areas that advance the College’s mission even further.

  • Why Call Them "Cult Movies"? American Independent Filmmaking and the Counterculture in the 1960S Mark Shiel, University of Leicester, UK
    Why Call them "Cult Movies"? American Independent Filmmaking and the Counterculture in the 1960s Mark Shiel, University of Leicester, UK Preface In response to the recent increased prominence of studies of "cult movies" in academic circles, this essay aims to question the critical usefulness of that term, indeed the very notion of "cult" as a way of talking about cultural practice in general. My intention is to inject a note of caution into that current discourse in Film Studies which valorizes and celebrates "cult movies" in particular, and "cult" in general, by arguing that "cult" is a negative symptom of, rather than a positive response to, the social, cultural, and cinematic conditions in which we live today. The essay consists of two parts: firstly, a general critique of recent "cult movies" criticism; and, secondly, a specific critique of the term "cult movies" as it is sometimes applied to 1960s American independent biker movies -- particularly films by Roger Corman such as The Wild Angels (1966) and The Trip (1967), by Richard Rush such as Hell's Angels on Wheels (1967), The Savage Seven, and Psych-Out (both 1968), and, most famously, Easy Rider (1969) directed by Dennis Hopper. Of course, no-one would want to suggest that it is not acceptable to be a "fan" of movies which have attracted the label "cult". But this essay begins from a position which assumes that the business of Film Studies should be to view films of all types as profoundly and positively "political", in the sense in which Fredric Jameson uses that adjective in his argument that all culture and every cultural object is most fruitfully and meaningfully understood as an articulation of the "political unconscious" of the social and historical context in which it originates, an understanding achieved through "the unmasking of cultural artifacts as socially symbolic acts" (Jameson, 1989: 20).

    “Their Solitary Way”: Marital Reconciliation in the Conversion Scene of Paradise Lost by Michael Gadaleto A thesis presented for the B. A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Spring 2008 Copyright © 2008 by Michael Gadaleto To Drew, Jim, Becky, and Mike The world was all before them, where to choose Their place of rest, and Providence their guide. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many hundreds of people all over the greater Ann Arbor area who deserve my thanks, be it for servicing my ever stronger caffeine addiction or for patiently listening while I pontificated about unification, upward mobility or humiliation, words so deadly dull that they strike fear into all hearts but that of the Miltonist. I will limit myself, however, to acknowledging those few people without whom this thesis would not exist. First and foremost I would like to thank Professor Ralph Williams. The only thing more thrilling than his agreement to become my advisor was the discovery of his boundless generosity and kindness. His enthusiasm for Milton and for learning has been infectious, and I deeply regret that our weekly meetings will be coming to an end. Yet I cannot help but feel, as almost anyone who comes into contact with him must, that I have gained a lifetime friend and mentor, and for this alone I am blessed in this process. I would also like to thank Professor Doug Trevor, whose assistance was indispensable and whose office was always open to me. My mother, Teri Mikan Gadaleto, read early drafts of this thesis and managed as she always does to walk the razor’s edge between praise and remarkably insightful criticism.

    2/20/2017 Making Monsters in László Nemes’ Son of Saul • Senses of Cinema Making Monsters in László Nemes’ Son of Saul Chari Larsson December 2016 Feature Articles Issue 81 Abstract >> http://sensesofcinema.com/2016/feature­articles/son­of­saul/ 1/21 2/20/2017 Making Monsters in László Nemes’ Son of Saul • Senses of Cinema But if I must continue to write, to look, to frame, to photograph, to show my pictures and think of all this, it is precisely to render such an incomplete phrase. It should rather say “It is unimaginable, therefore, I must imagine, in spite of all.” – Georges Didi­Huberman1 A horror story, the face is a horror story – Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari2 In August 2015, French philosopher and art historian Georges Didi­Huberman wrote an open letter to Hungarian director, László Nemes: Dear László Nemes, Your film, Son of Saul, is a monster. A necessary, coherent, beneficial, innocent monster.3 What are we to make of these opening lines? How does one create a monster? Written in the immediate aftermath of Didi­Huberman’s viewing of the film, the letter is an intimate and emotional tribute to the director’s harrowing representation of extreme human misery set inside the gas chambers at Auschwitz­Birkenau concentration and extermination camp in 1944. Nemes adds his voice to a long and contested history of philosophical debates concerning the relationship between the Holocaust and the status of the cinematic image. How can cinema do justice to representing the Holocaust? What role can images play, without trivialising or sentimentalising an event that is located at the limit of representation? Against this hegemonic line of thought, the discourse emphasising Holocaust unrepresentability has drawn increasing scrutiny, with younger generations of philosophers such as Georges Didi­Huberman questioning the absolutism of the prohibition of representation.

I’m not over-budget or under-budget because I haven’t got a budget. —Pacific Film Archive founder Sheldon Renan in a February 1971 interview FOR AN INSTITUTION WITH SUCH A JERRY-BUILT INCEPTION, the Pacific Film Archive (PFA) has not done too badly for itself as it progresses through its fourth decade of exist- ence. The numbers tell a small part of the story: a permanent collection of over 10,000 films and videos (stored in temperature- and humidity-controlled vaults); a study center whose holdings include more than 7,600 books on film history, theory, criticism, and reference, 150 international film periodical titles, over 95,000 clipping files, 36,000 film stills, and 7,500 posters; and an exhibition program of approximately 500 film presentations each year serving an audience of over 50,000 viewers from the Berkeley campus and around the Bay Area. Beyond statistics, it is the magnificent array of programs the Pacific Film Archive of- fers that provides a broader understanding of this vital institution. Many audience members and professionals throughout the film archive com- munity would agree that the exhibition program at PFA is among the most richly varied and com- prehensive shown anywhere, presenting avant- garde and experimental film, classic Hollywood, international cinema (from Iran to Finland to China to Brazil), video art, silent film, ethno- graphic film, and more.

  • Dark Mirrors: Azazel and Satanael in Early Jewish Demonology
    Orlov Dark Mirrors RELIGIOUS STUDIES Azazel and Satanael in Early Jewish Demonology Dark Mirrors is a wide-ranging study of two central figures in early Jewish demonology—the fallen angels Azazel and Satanael. Andrei A. Orlov explores the mediating role of these paradigmatic celestial rebels in the development of Jewish demonological traditions from Second Temple apocalypticism to later Jewish mysticism, such as that of the Hekhalot and Shi ur Qomah materials. Throughout, Orlov makes use of Jewish pseudepigraphical materials in Slavonic that are not widely known. Dark Mirrors Orlov traces the origins of Azazel and Satanael to different and competing mythologies of evil, one to the Fall in the Garden of Eden, the other to the revolt of angels in the antediluvian period. Although Azazel and Satanael are initially representatives of rival etiologies of corruption, in later Jewish and Christian demonological lore each is able to enter the other’s stories in new conceptual capacities. Dark Mirrors also examines the symmetrical patterns of early Jewish demonology that are often manifested in these fallen angels’ imitation of the attributes of various heavenly beings, including principal angels and even God himself. Andrei A. Orlov is Associate Professor of Theology at Marquette University. He is the author of several books, including Selected Studies in the Slavonic Pseudepigrapha.
