The College of Arts and Sciences at the University at Buffalo is proud to serve as NeMLA’s sponsor and administrative home, because both UB and NeMLA are characterized by the same kind of profound interdisciplinary investments, leadership in public and intellectual engagement, and a belief in the importance of a liberal arts education for the 21st century. Like NeMLA, the largest regional MLA conference that has nonetheless preserved a close-knit, intimate character, UB's College of Arts and Sciences combines the strength of a large college with the values and relationships emblematic of smaller liberal arts communities. For the last three years, UB, NeMLA, and its rotating local host institutions have collaborated to bring together inspiring speakers and scholars at each NeMLA convention to ensure that our and your work in the Humanities remains at the cutting edge. This year, we are excited to partner with Johns Hopkins University to showcase the most exciting developments in the modern languages and interdisciplinary humanities. We share your passion for the arts and the humanities, and together, we can show how new initiatives and ideas in the liberal arts spring from forging partnerships across organizations and disciplinary boundaries. Such partnerships are crucial to help articulate a global agenda for the role and scope of the humanities in the contemporary world. At a historical juncture when higher education is facing so many changes, both at a national and global level, we take our role in fostering robust intellectual and public engagements seriously, both on and off campus. The UB-NeMLA collaboration, in particular, has been decorated with successes in creating dialogue, inspiring students, and engaging faculty to produce knowledge for the betterment of society. We are proud to be part of this effort toward increasing the impact and reach of your contributions. Let me conclude by thanking you: for bringing your expertise to this gathering, and for helping pave the humanities’ way into the future. Prepare yourself to be challenged and inspired. It is our genuine pleasure at UB to be part of the ongoing and fulfilling experiences that NeMLA embodies every year. Sincerely, Robin G.

REYES The Komiks and Retelling the Lore of the Folk Komiks (comics), which emerged in the 1920s, have captured the Filipinos’ imagination, subsequently becoming materials for major motion pictures, yet marginalized in cultural studies. This article offers a diachronic analysis of the komiks between the 1930s and the 1970s to reveal the relationship between selected komiks characters and the folk tradition embodied in epics and legends. It also explains the komiks writers’ fascination with the remote past and their construction of heroes and heroines. In illuminating the worldview of writers and readers and the meanings generated when texts and readers interact, this article problematizes the supposition that popular culture is unalloyed escapism.

  • The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S
    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

    Teresa de Lauretis Futurism: A Postmodern View* The importance of Modernism and of the artistic movements of the first twenty or so years of this century need not be stressed. It is now widely acknowledged that the "historical avant-garde" was the crucible for most of the art forms and theories of art that made up the contemporary esthetic climate. This is evidenced, more than by the recently coined academic terms "neoavanguardia" and "postmodernism," 1 by objective trends in the culture of the last two decades: the demand for closer ties between artistic perfor- mance and real-life interaction, which presupposes a view of art as social communicative behavior; the antitraditionalist thrust toward interdisciplinary or even non-disciplinary academic curri- cula; the experimental character of all artistic production; the increased awareness of the material qualities of art and its depen- dence on physical and technological possibilities, on the one hand; on the other, its dependence on social conventions or semiotic codes that can be exposed, broken, rearranged, transformed. I think we can agree that the multi-directional thrust of the arts and their expansion to the social and the pragmatic domain, the attempts to break down distinctions between highbrow and popular art, the widening of the esthetic sphere to encompass an unprecedented range of phenomena, the sense of fast, continual movement in the culture, of rapid obsolescence and a potential transformability of forms are issues characteristic of our time. Many were already implicit, often explicit, in the project of the historical avant-garde. But whereas this connection has been established and pursued for Surrealism and Dada, for example, Italian Futurism has remained rather peripheral in the current reassessment; indeed one could say that it has been marginalized and effectively ignored.

  • La “Funzione-Baruchello” Nella Poesia Della Neoavanguardia: Il Problema Delle Scritture, Tra Sintassi Disegnativa E Statuto Del Personaggio
    p i a n o b . A R T I E C U L T U R E V I S I V E ISSN 2531-9876 132 La “funzione-Baruchello” nella poesia della Neoavanguardia: il problema delle scritture, tra sintassi disegnativa e statuto del personaggio CHIARA PORTESINE «Fino ad essere assimilato come l’unico pittore del gruppo»: una mappatura bibliografica Servendosi di una formula sintetica ma programmatica, si potrebbe as- serire che i disegni baruchelliani funzionino, in un certo senso, come manuale di ‘uso e manutenzione’ per verificare alcuni problemi (narrativi, formali e, in un certo senso, ideologici) che hanno caratterizzato il dibat- tito estetico promosso dalla Neoavanguardia. Se Baruchello si qualifica, notoriamente, come artista-scrittore e artista degli scrittori – collezio- nando una serie di collaborazioni a quattro mani con i letterati coevi1 –, all’interno del Gruppo 63 le «occasioni dell’arte» (Vivaldi, 1973) diventano progetti circostanziati e ascrivibili a un preciso contesto di sociologia let- teraria2. I risultati di queste co-operazioni verbo-visive, infatti, non si con- cludono con la pubblicazione di specifici libri d’artista, ma si inseriscono attivamente all’interno di eventi pubblici (rappresentazioni teatrali, pre- sentazioni di mostre o libri, ecc.), contribuendo a strutturare quella di- mensione costitutivamente interdisciplinare della Neoavanguardia oggi riconosciuta dalla critica specialistica come una delle componenti più ca- ratterizzanti del movimento (cfr. ad esempio Chirumbolo, Moroni, Somi- gli, 2010; Fastelli, 2018 e Lo Monaco, 2020). I legami coltivati all’interno di 1 Per rimanere all’interno del periodo cronologico isolato nel contributo, si vedano almeno Alphabets d’Éros, con testo di Gilbert Lascault e disegni di Baruchello (Baruchello, Lascault, 1976) e Fabula di Luigi Fontanella (Baruchello, Fontanella, 1979).

  • Synopsis and Write Ups
    Synopsis and Write Ups SET A KUDETA! KUDETA! A coma patient and a disgruntled fallen angel join forces in a plot to remove Lucifer from power. It’s good versus evil and all the grays in between. About the playwright Jimmy Flores is a freelance graphic designer who dabbles in filmmaking. He has written scripts for indie productions such as Auraeus Solito’s Tuli and Boy, Lawrence Fajardo’s Raket ni Nanay and X-Deal, and just recently, Supremo and Mariposa Sa Hawla ng Gabi for Richard Somes. Kudeta! Kudeta! is his first foray into stage plays. About the director Ariel’s (ARIEL S.R. YONZON) love for the theatre grew through a chiaroscuro of different arts in the palette of his life – good literature, appreciation of fine music of the masters, excellent grasp of language, among others, that all blended beautifully together in his journey, first at the MET (Manila Metropolitan Theater) in the early 80’s and, later, on to campus theatre at the University of the Philippines, through the U.P. Anak-Tibawan, as actor and stage manager. But, his reverence for the arts was bound to bring him to the country’s Cultural Center of the Philippines, where some of the world’s best artists perform. As one who has had the privilege of climbing up the ranks, first as Theatre Usher (as he was then a working student), then, as Project Coordinator (for the CCP Musical and Dramatic Arts Divisions), and, finally, as Head of the CCP Theatre Operations Department, he brings a unique understanding of theatre production work, grasping fully what every facet of theatre entails and giving both artists and stage personnel all that is necessary to give the audiences stellar productions.
