    ANTHOLOGY FILM ARCHIVES OCTOBER – DECEMBER PRESS LISTINGS OCTOBER 2013 PRESS LISTINGS MIX NYC PRESENTS: Tommy Goetz A BRIDE FOR BRENDA 1969, 62 min, 35mm MIX NYC, the producer of the NY Queer Experimental Film Festival, presents a special screening of sexploitation oddity A BRIDE FOR BRENDA, a lesbian-themed grindhouse cheapie set against the now-tantalizing backdrop of late-60s Manhattan. Shot in Central Park, Times Square, the Village, and elsewhere, A BRIDE FOR BRENDA narrates (quite literally – the story is told via female-voiced omniscient narration rather than dialogue) the experiences of NYC-neophyte Brenda as she moves into an apartment with Millie and Jane. These apparently unremarkable roommates soon prove themselves to be flesh-hungry lesbians, spying on Brenda as she undresses, attempting to seduce her, and making her forget all about her paramour Nick (and his partners in masculinity). As the narrator intones, “Once a young girl has been loved by a lesbian, it’s difficult to feel satisfaction from a man again.” –Thurs, Oct 3 at 7:30. TAYLOR MEAD MEMORIAL SCREENING Who didn’t love Taylor Mead? Irrepressible and irreverent, made of silly putty yet always sharp- witted, he was an underground icon in the Lower East Side and around the world. While THE FLOWER THIEF put him on the map, and Andy Warhol lifted him to Superstardom, Taylor truly made his mark in the incredibly vast array of films and videos he made with notables and nobodies alike. A poster child of the beat era, Mead was a scene-stealer who was equally vibrant on screen, on stage, or in a café reading his hilarious, aphoristic poetry.

Power, Pain, and Pleasure in Pornography: A Content Analysis of Pornographic Feature Films, 1972-1985 Abstract Within the last decade, a view has emerged in governmental publications, the popular press, and research conducted in the fields of communications and film studies whichegar r ds pornography as being typified by material which is violent or which exhibits unequal relations of power between the sexes. This dissertation employs content analysis to investigate the portrayal of male and female characters and relationships in pornographic films. The investigation empirically operationalizes certain broadly defined concepts that are often used in conjunction with pornography, concepts of unequal power relations and of the subordination or de-humanization of characters. Specifically, certain observable components of unequal power relations have been postulated and investigated throughout the range of films sampled. In addition, communication patterns, demonstrations of affection and of sexual pleasure are analyzed, as well as rates of violent and abusive behavior.

  • Israel Travel Guide You Are Reading Is a Greatly Expanded Version of One I First Prepared for an American Friend Some Two Decades Ago
    ISRAEL: A PERSONAL TRAVEL GUIDE By Douglas E. Duckett Cincinnati, Ohio, USA [email protected] ©2004-2016 Douglas E. Duckett All rights reserved. INTRODUCTION. The Israel travel guide you are reading is a greatly expanded version of one I first prepared for an American friend some two decades ago. In it, I have tried to share my experiences and knowledge of Israel based on a lifetime of study and fifteen visits to the country, most recently in May 2016. I enjoy independent travel, and this guide was written primarily with such travelers in mind, though I hope the information will be helpful to those on group tours as well. As an American, I have produced a guide that, no doubt, reflects that identify and experience. I hope my readers from other countries will forgive that, and still find useful information to help plan their trips. I am not in the travel industry. Rather, I am a labor lawyer who loves Israel passionately and wants to encourage others to travel there and experience this wonderful land. My first visit was in November 1988, and I caught the bug; thus I started visiting every other year or so thereafter, except for 2000-2004, the truly terrible years of the second Palestinian uprising and the terror bombings in Israel cities. Now, with partial retirement, I am going every year (God willing!). Even with the mostly peaceful conditions prevailing since then, some friends still asked, “are you sure you want to go back to Israel?” Of course, recent tensions in Jerusalem, with a wave of stabbing attacks on Israelis, have further increased those anxieties, even for me to some degree.

  • Two Colleagues in Conversation Sidney Bolkosky and Ronald R. Stockton
    1 Two Colleagues in Conversation Sidney Bolkosky and Ronald R. Stockton Published by Mardigian Library University of Michigan-Dearborn Printed by Inland Press Detroit, Michigan Copyright by Ronald R. Stockton 2008 ISBN 978-0-933961-11-1 There are 250 copies of this book This is copy number 2 Two Colleagues in Conversation In the summer of 2007, Ron Stockton was in a used bookstore and saw a book by Francois Mitterand, President of France, and Elie Wiesel, the Holocaust scholar. Mitterand had asked Wiesel to interview him as his Presidency was coming to an end. With two such egos, the project inevitably evolved from an interview into a dialogue. It was published as a joint memoir. Ron was taken by this project and decided that he and his colleague Sid Bolkosky could produce something similar. As Ron said to Sid, “We have been around since the campus was young. There are no two faculty who are more different in their backgrounds than you and I are. We both have high visibility off campus, and both of us are dinosaurs. When we leave they will not replace us with people like ourselves.” Sid and Ron have been at the University of Michigan-Dearborn for over three decades. Sid arrived in 1972, Ron in 1973. Sid is a historian specializing in modern German History and the Holocaust. Ron is a Political Scientist who specializes in comparative non-western politics, especially ethnic conflict, political change, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He is trained in survey research. Both teach to full classes and are considered unique professors by their students.
