Many of the Premiere fi lmmakers were returning directors (Errol Morris, Tom DiCillo, Victor Nunez, Gregg Araki, Kevin Smith), whose earlier, sometimes unknown, work had received a warm reception at Sundance. The Piper-Heidsieck tribute to independent vision went to actor/director Tim Robbins, and a major retrospective of the works of German New-Wave giant Rainer Werner Fassbinder was staged, with many of his original actors fl own in for forums. It was a fi tting tribute to both Fassbinder and the Festival and the ways that American independent cinema was indeed becoming international.

Usher; Office: Department of Classics, 481 Main Street, Room 303;Contact: 656-4431; home: 897-2822; e-mail: [email protected] Course Description: “What’s in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.” —Romeo and Juliet Act II, Scene II “Look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, And to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged.” —Isaiah 51:1 Proponents of sustainability tend to present their ideas and prescriptions as new and innovative and argue that sustainable living is a defining concern of our time. Sustainable living is indeed an urgent, pressing issue for today’s world, but students in this course will learn that many of the fundamental tenets of the modern sustainability movement are also hallmarks of ancient Greek culture and thought. This course, a foray into the genealogy of ideas, traces the trajectory of modern notions of ecological and socio-economic sustainability back through time. Through selected readings spanning over two thousand years, students will see old ideas and precepts cropping up again and again over the course of history, up to and including the present day. They will grapple with conceptual and philosophical aspects of sustainability and with sustainable living itself (and the inevitable trade-offs and contradictions therein) experientially via a field trip to the small, diversified farm my wife and I built from scratch as an experiment in sustainable living, where we raise sheep, tend a large garden, and manage a maple sugarbush.

    SMM Initial Report

    INITIAL CONFERENCE REPORT AND ACTION PLAN JANUARY 2011 RINA FRATICELLI, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, WOMEN IN VIEW Executive Summary From October 14-16, 2010, international media leaders, theorists/scholars and stakeholders met in Vancouver to address cultural, industrial and economic opportunities and challenges facing women working in film, video, television, digital media and ICT (information, communica- tions and technology). Informed by more than a decade of research, the shift to a new digital paradigm and by current economic realities, SEXMONEYMEDIA was created to address the persistently marginal participation of women in media generally, and in leadership roles in par- ticular. The conference was prompted by two labour studies that were commissioned by the BC Insti- tute for Film Professionals with the support of Service Canada. (Appendix 1) These described how far the impressive gains of the 1970's and 1980's had begun to erode. Other research in Canada and elsewhere – by Realisatrices Equitables, Quebec’s association of female direc- tors; the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, the annual Celluloid Ceiling Reports, and the Lehman Centre for Women In Business at the London School of Business to name just a few – drew similar pictures of women’s presence and absence in our ever more dominant me- dia landscape. (Appendix 2) The gathering quickly focused on two core questions: why do the stellar achievements of indi- vidual women in media today stand in such stark contrast to their statistical presence, particu- larly in leadership positions? How might this pattern give way to a more diverse, culturally rele- vant and globally relevant media landscape? Media arts and industries are powerful economic and cultural engines representing a substan- tial and growing part of the economy; yet lack of diversity in this sector undermines its integrity.

    Artistic and Scholarly Approaches to Engineered Environments

    Global Environment 10 (2017): 4–20 © 2017 The White Horse Press. doi: 10.3197/ge.2017.100101 introduction Manufacturing landscapes: Artistic and scholarly approaches to engineered environments Helmuth Trischler ost scholars working in the field of environmental humanities in general and of environmental history in par- ticular agree in understanding large parts of nature as altered by humans. The landscapes that we are faced with today are culturally constructed envi- ronments, most often industrialised landscapes, shaped by human interventions in one way or the other over thousands of years. Scientists, who are trained to define human introduction interventionsM into nature in a more rigorous way, have assessed that less than a mere one-quarter of the Earth’s ice-free land masses is still in a more-or-less ‘natural’ state, i.e., largely untouched by human activities. Hence, landscapes are human made, they are manufactured. In his works, the renowned Canadian photographer and filmmak- er Edward Burtynsky* has used the lens of his camera to reveal a nature altered by humans. Burtynsky’s large-scale photographs of ‘manufactured landscapes’ depict mines and quarries, oil fields and salt pans, factories and shipbreaking yards, railcuts and dams, ir- rigation schemes and aquacultures, homesteads and urban centres, agricultural fields and river deltas. His connected series of pictures are deeply rooted in the photography tradition of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in which the industrial landscape reflects the aesthetics of the sublime; at the same time, he has ‘vigorously refo- * Photographs © Edward Burtynsky, Courtesy Galerie Springer Berlin / Nich- olas Metiver Gallery, Toronto.
