As editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Cultural Property, an interdisciplinary academic journal, he also addresses present-day topics involving the treat- ment and ownership of artifacts. “i love teaching at the undergraduate level,” notes Bauer, who held positions at the University of Pennsylvania (where he got his PhD), African Adventure George Washington University, and Princeton University.

  • Philosophy Goes to the Movies
    PHILOSOPHY GOES TO THE MOVIES ‘Philosophy Goes to the Movies is very clearly and engagingly written. It has a particular claim on the attention of those preparing students for a systematic study of philosophy, one that distinguishes it from any other introductory book I know of.’ Stephen Mulhall, University of Oxford ‘I think this is an excellent text. Falzon is in control of his material. He writes clearly and at a level that undergraduates can understand. He seems as comfortable describing films as he is explaining the nature of a philosophical problem. It will make an outstanding text to use in introductory philosophy classes.’ Thomas Wartenburg, Mount Holyoke College, USA Philosophy Goes to the Movies is a new kind of introduction to philosophy that makes use of film to help us understand philosophical ideas and positions. Drawing on art- house movies like Cinema Paradiso and Hollywood blockbusters such as The Matrix, Christopher Falzon introduces and discusses central areas of philosophical concern, including: • the theory of knowledge • the self and personal identity • ethics • social and political philosophy • science and technology • critical thinking. Falzon draws from the ideas of a diverse selection of thinkers, from Plato and Descartes to Marcuse and Foucault. Ideal for the beginner, this book guides the student through philosophy using lively and illuminating cinematic examples including Total Recall, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Antz and Wings of Desire. It will also appeal to anyone interested in the philosophical dimensions of cinema. Christopher Falzon is Lecturer in Philosophy at Newcastle University, Australia. He is the author of Foucault and Social Dialogue (Routledge, 1998).

Well, I think she didn’t know her arse from her elbow. She was an extraordinary old woman, really. And I never knew anybody who knew her really well. The books are quite good about her, but except for her eccentricities there’s nothing about her professional appreciation of Shakespeare. She had this faith which led her to the people she needed. Did she choose the actors? I don’t think so. She chose the directors. John Gielgud Yes, she had a very difficult time with them.

  • Bernard Dukore
    What's New . At Least in Part1 Bernard F. Dukore [Dr. Bernard F. Dukore's Fellows Address was given at the ATA Convention in San Francisco, August 14, 1984. His Note #1 provides information about its publication in considerably altered form under the title, "Newer Peter Barnes, with Links to the Past," in Essays in Theatre, 5 (November 1986), pp. 47-59, and gives a rationale for updating the Address for inclusion here. Ed.] Copyright 1986, 1994 by Bernard F. Dukore © On the night of February 22nd, 1984, I decided that instead of going to the movies I would catch up on my reading. Too many books and periodicals were on my desk, looking at me in a way I thought reproachful. Among them was the December 1983 Theatre Journal, which contained Helen Krich Chinoy's "Notes" on the American theatre of the 1930s, her Fellows Address at the ATA Convention in August 1982. It was the first work that I read. The next morning, February 23rd, I received a phone call from Tony Distler, inviting me to give the Fellows Address at this convention. I don't know if there's a causal connection between the two, but if there is, you can cheer up, because the alternative might have been worse. You see, the movie I had considered going to see that night was Testament.2 Like my predecessors, I was told that I was free to pick any subject I liked, to give any kind of talk I chose. Oh, Lord! As Elmer Rice, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Peter Barnes, among others, have dramatized, freedom can be terrifying.

The oldest of five children, he came from a wealthy and respected merchant family. His father, Knud Ibsen, originated from a long line of ship captains and his mother, Marichen Altenburg, was the daughter of a ship owner. His father’s career as a merchant started promisingly, but in the mid 1830s financial problems forced Knud to close down his business and sell the family home. This change in fortunes made resentful Knud turn to drink, which had a big impact on the young Henrik Ibsen. Themes of debt, alcoholism and female suffering would later be reflected in his work. At the age of 15 Ibsen left home to start work as an apprentice pharmacist, and during this time he started writing his first poems and plays. When he was 18 he fathered an illegitimate child with a servant at the apothecary, and although he supported the boy financially until he was a teenager they are believed to have never met.

Voters making selections in their own branch categories list only film titles on their ballots, not the individuals responsible for the various achievements. For that reason, as well as for reasons of printing time and convenience of using this pamphlet, full credit rosters are not provided for the listed films. An exception to the above exists in the four Acting categories, where simply listing titles would not provide enough voting information. Actors Branch members filling out their Nominations ballots must indicate both titles and the particular performers they are voting for. For that reason, the Reminder List provides a listing of up to fifty cast members for each film. Pictures eligible in the Animated Feature Film, Documentary Feature and Foreign Language Film categories are also eligible in the Best Picture category, provided they meet the qualifications for the category.
