Corpo/Ilicito: The Post-Human Society #69

Hey everyone, if you're available this Friday, please come check out what I promise will be a very interesting night:

SPECIAL PERFORMANCE: Corpo Illicito: The Post-Human Society #69
Friday, October 30, 2009. 7:00pm. FREE.
Columbia College Chicago , 618 S. Michigan , 2nd Floor

Join us for a debut performance by members of La Pocha Nostra, the acclaimed Mexican-American “trans-disciplinary organization” and 2009-2010 Critical Encounters Artists-in-Residence. “Corpo Illicito” is the third in the group’s Mapa-Corpo series and will feature Guillermo Gomez-Pena, Violeta Luna and Roberto Sifuentes. The new piece tackles this historic moment of reinvention by looking into the past and attempting to prognosticate a possible future without resorting to quick fixes and false hopes. Using performance bodies as sites for political reinvention and poetic prophesying, La Pocha Nostra explores both the legacy of fear of the Other, the criminalization of the brown body inherited by the Bush administration, and the emerging culture of hope, imagination and faith that has developed in response to the former world order.

This one is in response to Tannar's response to mine. Complicated web of response videos.



Sorry i couldn't make it to class yesterday, i'm sick as a dog and didn't want to contaminate you all/didn't have the strength to get out of bed. Looks like a lot of people are sick right now. We might HAVE to skype to class if swine flu takes over.

VIDEO DAYS - JOSH & KAREN

REAL ADOLESCENT FASHIONABLE PESSIMISM

Here's the opening sequence of Ingmar Bergman's Persona, referenced in the Chion reading.


And some non-essential viewing, a scene from Woody Allen's Manhattan.


"Bergman!? Bergman's the only genius in cinema today."

Video Viewing

Hey all. My apologies for missing out on today's class and the viewing of your videos. I'd still like to watch them over the weekend though. Maybe post them here? Or e-mail me the link at ernest.joseph.hill@gmail.com ... What ever works best for you. See you next week.

Flu

Hey everyone, sorry i couldnt make it last week but i figured it wasnt worth risking giving anyone the flu. Some of those vids about narrative and film making are pretty interesting. I stumbled across this video this week and although i think its pretty old i definetely still thought it was worth sharing. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz5o-fFSRmM

man, i can't find any good videos this week.

sad face.

This kind of relates to the first reading about the explication of teaching etc. etc.

The power of Narration

Funny example of how narration can really change the way we view a film. -Jessika
