ÄBSTRACT A paradigm of binar.isn teaches a politic of delense that prevents open development of nonviolence. In a theoretical studv of nonviolence I put forward an alternative that considers insLeacf Lhe development of responses that are non-binary and non-enemy: in other words, non- oppositional and non-divisionary directions - ethics that seek to cherish and bridge difference. Using a feminist framevork the dichotomy bets/een violence and nonviolence is considered in the context of Buddhist, North A merican .A.boriginal and French Feminist ethics. In all, spiritual and political dimensions of nonviolence are studied in relationship to social change. ,ACKNOWLIDGMENTS I am grateful for mv conlnlittee. Dr. Joan pennell, my advisor who supporled my independent and "idiosl'ncralic' approach to social change ethics and healing. Dr. Dal,ne À,fcCance who ga\¡e ne the encouragement I needed to rvrite Co),ote and \\'ho introduced nìe to the necessity of retrieving the poetic as the political force behind gestures of "reaching out" lo the Ínonstrous. instde and out. Dr. Joe Kypers for his kindness, enthusiasm and gentle regard lor my work. All three for their intelligence and integrity. I am lucky to have loving family and friends. This thesis was much more than an acadenic exercise and vould not have been completed s/ithout the faith and support of my parents, Alice and Henry Schmidt and those f¡iends vho kept me spiritually and politically fed. Especially, thank-you to Marl' Sweeney and llilly Ruth Wood for reading my draft with such love and interest; Ron Schvartz lor late-night dialogues and tea; Richard Claxton, Lilith li4cClellan and Marilyn Wolovick in the Kootenal''5 for their tenderness and for treating my vriting space with respect. Deep gratitude to Debbie Schwartz for introducing me to quantum physics theory and sharing vith me a jourirey into Buddhist and Natural Lav ethics with renewed questioning and committment to our feminist visions. Finally, it needs to be acknowledged that at my 'defense'there sat three women, all mothers vho have not had the luxury of studying in the way I have, yet $/ere so generous in their support.

Ellis Auditorium Course Syllabus, Spring 2017 READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY! Welcome to the Spring Cinema Series… a unique opportunity to learn about cinema in an interdisciplinary, cinematheque-style environment open to the general public! Throughout the term we will invite a variety of special guests to enrich your understanding of the films in the series. The films will be preceded by formal introductions and followed by public discussions. You are welcome and encouraged to bring guests throughout the term! This is not a traditional class, therefore it is important for you to review the course assignments and due dates carefully to ensure that you fulfill all the requirements to earn the grade you desire. We want the Cinema Series to be both entertaining and enlightening for students and community alike. Welcome to our college film club! COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will introduce students to one of the most powerful cultural and social communications media of our time: cinema. The successful student will become more aware of the complexity of film art, more sensitive to its nuances, textures, and rhythms, and more perceptive in “reading” its multilayered blend of image, sound, and motion. The films, texts, and classroom materials will cover a broad range of domestic, independent, and international cinema, making students aware of the culture, politics, and social history of the periods in which the films were produced.

  • Chastity in a West Papuan City: Durkheim's 'Ideal' and Sexual Virtue
    Pre-marital chastity in a West Papuan city: Durkheim’s ‘ideal’ and sexual virtue. Sarah Louise Richards Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2016 School of Social and Political Sciences The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper This thesis is dedicated to Darius, Benson and Paskalina b Abstract This thesis engages critically with Durkheim¹s ideas of morality in an ethnographic exploration of the reasons young women in Manokwari (West Papua, Indonesia) choose to maintain chastity prior to marriage. Based on 27 months of fieldwork with an urban, Christian, coastal community, I examine their sexual conformity through the motivating force of three emotions – love, fear and hope. Young women wanted to delay their sexual debut so as to not hurt or disappoint their beloved mothers and because they feared being beaten by kin and suffering other forms of violence that sanctioned sexual transgressions. Since pregnancy is understood to lead to school drop-out and forced marriage, hope for a future characterised by secure employment and a harmonious marriage is also a rationale for chastity. These affective logics are explored in the context of cultural constructions of sexual morality at a time of rapid socio-economic change, immoral threats and revitalised enthusiasms for being Christian, and being Papuan. My finding that sentiment structures processes of young women’s moral reasoning and chaste practice supports Durkheim’s contention that ideals – moral standards that are above and beyond individuals – are emotionally based constructs of sacred power. This ethnography thus contributes to recent anthropological discussions that conceptualise morality and ethics as a realm where actors evaluate, select and enact a range of moral options in order to fashion themselves as ethical subjects.

  • Governing New Guinea New
    Governing New Guinea New Guinea Governing An oral history of Papuan administrators, 1950-1990 Governing For the first time, indigenous Papuan administrators share their experiences in governing their country with an inter- national public. They were the brokers of development. After graduating from the School for Indigenous Administrators New Guinea (OSIBA) they served in the Dutch administration until 1962. The period 1962-1969 stands out as turbulent and dangerous, Leontine Visser (Ed) and has in many cases curbed professional careers. The politi- cal and administrative transformations under the Indonesian governance of Irian Jaya/Papua are then recounted, as they remained in active service until retirement in the early 1990s. The book brings together 17 oral histories of the everyday life of Papuan civil servants, including their relationship with superiors and colleagues, the murder of a Dutch administrator, how they translated ‘development’ to the Papuan people, the organisation of the first democratic institutions, and the actual political and economic conditions leading up to the so-called Act of Free Choice. Finally, they share their experiences in the UNTEA and Indonesian government organisation. Leontine Visser is Professor of Development Anthropology at Wageningen University. Her research focuses on governance and natural resources management in eastern Indonesia. Leontine Visser (Ed.)

  • Dogme 95 Cinema Series to Premiere at MAD on Occasion of Movement’S 20Th Anniversary
    Dogme 95 Cinema Series to Premiere at MAD on Occasion of Movement’s 20th Anniversary The Director Must Not Be Credited: 20 Years of Dogme 95 explores lasting effects of iconoclastic movement New York, NY (January 21, 2015)—This March, the Museum of Arts and Design is pleased to present The Director Must Not Be Credited: 20 Years of Dogme 95, a cinema series exploring the enduring legacy of the game-changing film movement. Premiering on March 13, 2015, the twentieth anniversary of Danish filmmakers Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg’s revolutionary manifesto, the series features nine, rarely screened films recognized by the Dogme 95 committee—many of which never received US distributions. Together, these films highlight the growth of Dogme 95 into a worldwide movement that spanned genres and forever changed the ways in which narrative feature films are made. On March 13, 1995, Lars von Trier showered the audience of a conference celebrating the 100th anniversary of cinema with pamphlets outlining his newly crafted Dogme 95 manifesto. Co-written with fellow filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg, the manifesto, dubbed the Vow of Chastity, outlined ten dogmatic rules that encouraged a return to traditional values of story, acting and theme, embraced emerging video technology, and banned the use of elaborate special effects in cinema. At its core, the Dogme manifesto aimed to restore a transparency to filmmaking and challenge mainstream cinematic conventions of the time. “Dogme 95 is arguably one of the most important cinematic movements since the French New Wave,” says Jake Yuzna, MAD’s Director of Public Programs.
