  • Dissecting Orpheus in Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge!
    Dissecting Orpheus in Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge! At the opening—and again at the closing—of Moulin Rouge!, Henri Toulouse- Lautrec sings “Nature Boy.” Dressed as the Magic Sitar in the fictional theater production of Spectacular! Spectacular!, he chants “The greatest thing you'll ever learn / Is just to love and to love in return.” These verses frame and emphasize the overarching theme of passionate love through the medium of music. That some form of personification of Love and Music lies at the heart of the Orpheus myth will be no surprise to classically trained reader. But what might be surprising is that in the publicity surrounding Moulin Rouge!, Baz Luhrmann insisted that this film was his expression of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth. Strong scholarly work on the classical allusions in Moulin Rouge! has already been begun, especially in detailing the counterpoints in allegory between both character and plot. My contribution to this subject, however, takes the analysis to a more abstract level. I argue that Luhrmann wanted not only to combine plot and character in order to create a new story, but that he used the idea of love emerging from music as an aesthetic theory in itself, emblematic for the very creative process of his original, cinematic production. This aesthetic philosophy and method creates a creative framework for the theme of rebirth in this ancient myth. I believe that Luhrmann was contemplating the Dionysiac ritual of sparagmos, central to the theory of drama and musical drama, as a working aesthetic for this film. This presentation will focus on musical composition of the film (rather than the static visual hybrids or the cinematic editing techniques), and in particular on duets sung between the Orpheus character Christian and the Eurydice character Satine.

  • CHAMPS-ELYSEES ROLL OR STROLL from the Arc De Triomphe to the Tuileries Gardens
    CHAMPS-ELYSEES ROLL OR STROLL From the Arc de Triomphe to the Tuileries Gardens Don’t leave Paris without experiencing the avenue des Champs-Elysées (shahnz ay-lee-zay). This is Paris at its most Parisian: monumental side- walks, stylish shops, grand cafés, and glimmering showrooms. This tour covers about three miles. If that seems like too much for you, break it down into several different outings (taxis roll down the Champs-Elysées frequently and Métro stops are located every 3 blocks). Take your time and enjoy. It’s a great roll or stroll day or night. The tour begins at the top of the Champs-Elysées, across a huge traffic circle from the famous Arc de Triomphe. Note that getting to the arch itself, and access within the arch, are extremely challenging for travelers with limited mobility. I suggest simply viewing the arch from across the street (described below). If you are able, and you wish to visit the arch, here’s the informa- tion: The arch is connected to the top of the Champs-Elysées via an underground walkway (twenty-five 6” steps down and thirty 6” steps back up). To reach this passageway, take the Métro to the not-acces- sible Charles de Gaulle Etoile station and follow sortie #1, Champs- Elysées/Arc de Triomphe signs. You can take an elevator only partway up the inside of the arch, to a museum with some city views. To reach the best views at the very top, you must climb the last 46 stairs. For more, see the listing on page *TK.

  • 5 the Tower… Made of Iron and Rivets
    FOLLOW GUS! Children’s tour of the Eiffel Tower – Pedagogical file 5 The Tower… made of iron and rivets Industrialization During the 19th century progress made in the world of metallurgy brought along industrial development. Manufacturing iron and steel enabled to build railways (railway tracks and engines), factories, stations, bridges, markets, department stores. From the second half of this century, engineers such as Eiffel became very knowledgeable in the use of metallic frameworks and structures that are lighter than stone or concrete. 1803: Construction of the Pont des Arts in Paris, in cast iron. 1853: Construction of the Paris covered market with a metallic structure that adds beauty to the building. The Pompey factory An iron Tower The Eiffel Tower is made of puddled iron. This type of iron is obtained by mixing liquid hot iron and the result is iron of a fibrous texture obtained through the dissociation of carbon and impurities from the cristallographic structure. Hammering and rolling complete the preparation of this highly resistant iron. All of these operations were carried out in factories set up near the iron mines, especially in the Lorraine region. The project is accurate to the millimetre In Eiffel’s workshops, some twenty engineers and thirty designers made 5,329 drawings that enabled about one hundred workers to assemble the various metallic parts in the workshops located in Levallois-Peret (West of Paris) as early as June 1887. These metallic parts measured between just a few millimetres for the rivets and various metres for the puddled iron beams manufactured in the steelworks of Pompey, in the Lorraine department.

L’architecte Chalgrin s’ins- pira des arcs antiques pour en élaborer les plans. À travers son histoire, son architecture, ses inscriptions, ses sources d’inspiration et ses sculptures, l’élè- ve perçoit la fonction symbolique de l’Arc. S’il célèbre toujours le triomphe des armées françaises de la Révolution à nos jours, sa signification a toutefois évolué depuis le XIXe siècle. Il occupe aujourd’hui une place de premier plan dans la vie civique et civile. Abordant l’histoire des XIXe et XXe siècles, l’ur- banisme, l’éducation civique ou encore les arts plastiques, l’étude du monument répond aux exigences de l’interdisciplinarité.
