Email: [email protected] Office: Anderson 121 Office hours: Wednesday 11-2 p.m., and by appointment DESCRIPTION Course Description Focusing on the period since Walt Disney began making animal-focused documentaries and animated films in the 1930s, up through the blockbuster motion picture Avatar (2009), this course examines religious, spiritual, and political dimensions of artistic productions, scientific representations in museums, and other cultural inventions (such as theme parks), in which nature takes center stage. We will explore the cultural tributaries, influences, and controversies such productions engender, for they constitute important ways that environmental ethics, and quests for environmentally sustainable livelihoods and lifeways, are expressed and promoted. The course will enhance students’ abilities to interpret these cultural productions and their evocative power and explore their own reactions to these social phenomena. Purpose and Objectives 1) complicate and thus make more critical and sophisticated what students understand by terms like religion, spirituality, nature, and popular culture. 2) provide students with an understanding of different ways to study beliefs, perceptions, and practices related to what people variously construe as religion or spirituality. 3) illuminate the ways in which religion, spirituality and nature-related values are constructed, expressed, and contested in popular culture.

    THE GUID SISTERS from the Original French Québécois Les Belles-Soeurs by Michel Tremblay Translated by Bill Findlay and Martin Bowman

    The Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh and the National Theatre of Scotland present THE GUID SISTERS from the original French Québécois Les Belles-Soeurs by Michel Tremblay translated by Bill Findlay and Martin Bowman A co-production between the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh and the National Theatre of Scotland Supported by Bank of Scotland Pioneering Partnership Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh 21 September – 13 October 2012 and Kings’ Theatre, Glasgow: 23 – 27 October 2012 A big win and a night in, when the girls get together nothing’s left to chance! Germaine Lauzon wins a million Green Shield stamps. Germaine is in for a windfall but the only way she can collect the money is to stick each stamp into a book. Calling upon her family, friends and neighbours to help, the play listens in as this formidable group of women talk about life, the world and the men in their lives. This “rich, raucous and gritty” Scots version by Bill Findlay and Martin Bowman of Québécois writer Michel Tremblay's play Les Belles -Soeurs was premiered at the Tron Theatre, Glasgow in 1989. Findlay went on to trans-create eight Tremblay plays, with co-translator, Martin Bowman. This successful partnership has made Tremblay one of the most performed international playwrights in Scotland. The Guid Sisters is not only regarded as a classic contemporary Scot’s play but it is also timely theatrical portrayal of women grappling with economic survival. Following recent successes with 27 and Dunsinane , two major Scottish producing companies join forces to present The Guid Sisters , directed by Serge Denoncourt who is one of Canada’s leading directors with over 80 productions to his credit including his work with Cirque du Soleil.
