Recent events are more fuid and symptomatic that we like to think—I mean the inevitable complexities that are tied to the mere diferences that polarize Western emphasis on individualism and Eastern depersonalized systems of belief. Even though Nietzsche’s concept of “will to power”—which once undermined a dominant Christian ethos—is now seamlessly integrated with both pragmatism and capitalism, the greatest resistance to it is based on a longing to restore a utopian dream associated with brotherhood. Religious conficts are inevitable in our times.

  • Degas: Agency in Images of Women
    Degas: Agency in Images of Women BY EMMA WOLIN Edgar Degas devoted much of his life’s work to the depiction of women. Among his most famous works are his ballet dancers, bathers and milliners; more than three- quarters of Degas’ total works featured images of women.1 Recently, the work of Degas has provoked feminist readings of the artist’s treatment of his subject matter. Degas began by sketching female relatives and eventually moved on to sketch live nude models; he was said to have been relentless in his pursuit of the female image. Some scholars have read this tendency as obsessive or pathological, while others trace Degas’ fixation to his own familial relationships; Degas’ own mother died when he was a teenager.2 Degas painted women in more diverse roles than most of his contemporaries. But was Degas a full-fledged misogynist? That may depend on one’s interpretation of his oeuvre. Why did he paint so many women? In any case, whatever the motivation and intent behind Degas’ images, there is much to be said for his portrayal of women. This paper will attempt to investigate Degas’ treatment of women through criticism, critical analysis, visual evidence and the author’s unique insight. Although the work of Degas is frequently cited as being misogynistic, some of his work gives women more freedom than they would have otherwise enjoyed, while other paintings, namely his nude sketches, placed women under the direct scrutiny of the male gaze. Despite the ubiquity 1 Richard Kendall, Degas, Images of Women, (London: Tate Gallery Publications, 1989), 11.

Performer: Susanne Sachsse Live sound processing: Daniel Meir Light design: Jackie Shemesh Text: Gish Amit and Yael Bartana “Are we bound forever to remain suspended in the limbo of the endless issues of our identity?” This is one of the questions put to Theodor Herzl and Sigmund Freud during the performance accompanying the opening of Yael Bartana’s exhibition Wenn Ihr wollt, ist es kein Traum (If you will it, it is not a dream). Here, Yael Bartana addresses the spirits of two pioneers, Sigmund Freud and Theodor Herzl who, in different approaches sought to bring redemption to the individual and to the collective – and whom she declares the spiritual gods of the Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland (JRMiP), which she founded in 2007. The founder of modern psychoanalysis and the visionary of a state for Jews lived just a couple of houses away from each other on Berggasse in Vienna, yet their paths never crossed. Yael Bartana thus brings them together in her installation Wenn Ihr wollt, ist es kein Traum – a temple of Utopia – to create a moment of collective consciousness and awake the ghost of history to hopefully get some answers.

  • VIETNAM VETERAN THEATRICAL NARRATIVES by Amanda Boyle Submitted to the Graduate Degree Program In
    MEN, MEMORY, AND MEMORIAL: VIETNAM VETERAN THEATRICAL NARRATIVES By Amanda Boyle Submitted to the graduate degree program in Theatre and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson Henry Bial ________________________________ Jane Barnette ________________________________ Rebecca Rovit ________________________________ Nicole Hodges Persley ________________________________ Adrian Lewis Date Defended: May 9, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Amanda Boyle certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: MEN, MEMORY, AND MEMORIAL: VIETNAM VETERAN THEATRICAL NARRATIVES ________________________________ Chairperson Henry Bial Date approved: May 12, 2016 ii Abstract This dissertation is a study of Vietnam War veteran narratives and how they are presented on stage. I argue that these plays are a form of commemoration of the Vietnam War and those who fought in it. I eXamine three plays: Medal of Honor Rag (1976) by Tom Cole, Still Life (1982) by Emily Mann, and Tracers (1983) by John DiFusco, et al. There are hundreds of plays and musicals written directly about the war. Through a dramaturgical methodology I combine teXtual analysis, production research, interviews with two of the three playwrights, academic scholarship on the plays, my own staged reading of Still Life in February 2015, and select oral/written histories from Vietnam veterans to illustrate how the plays function as commemorative-storytelling of the veteran experience. Each chapter is a dramaturgical case study that could be used for production. The plays each have a wide range of topics, motifs, and themes, many of which I address, including the overlapping themes of wounding (moments of injury and psychological repercussions), coming home (surviving the war and returning home), and commemorating (via medals and memorials).

For the last three years, he's led a peaceful life devoting himself to his wife and two children. Then, one winter morning, he's left for dead in the parking garage in Marseille's Old Port, with 22 bullets in his body. Against all the odds, he doesn't die... This film is a work of fiction inspired by real‐life events in the world of the Marseille mafia. INTERVIEW WITH RICHARD BERRY What made you want to adapt Franz‐Olivier Giesbert's book? In the same way that comedy is an incredible vehicle for certain ideas, thrillers can also give you pause to reflect on certain issues. In the story of a guy, who was allegedly a mafia godfather in Marseille, who was left for dead in 1977 in a parking lot in Cassis, but who survived the shooting earning himself the nickname "The Immortal", I saw an incredibly strong subject and an amazing adventure.
