The Arts

Birth of a Nation (1915) Reconsidered

Course Registration Number: 50386

Day: Monday

Time: 1:15-2:45

D. W. Griffith's 1915 masterpiece is suddenly relevant again. Our country must now reevaluate our thinking

on race, the Civil War, and White Supremacy, as well as, how we view America. This landmark film is both

the cornerstone of modern cinema, and one of the most virulently racist documents in this country's history.

In this class, we will see the entire film, over the five weeks, in the just released new restoration, complete

with a new recording of the brilliant musical score. We will stop frequently to discuss the surprising new

relevance as history currently repeats itself. See the birth of many of our current issues at the beginning of

the modern era.

opportunity to create a number of small sculptural figurines (e.g., animals,

human form). There will be several kiln firings scheduled throughout the

workshop.

involved the two classic national figures in this conflict, Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan. 6/6 -

had no real results. However, the conflict gave us a national anthem and two Presidents. 6/13 - Andrew

of New Orleans and infamous for the Trail of Tears decision involving five tribes of Native Americans. 6/20 -

Lincoln


Day: Wednesday

Time: 10:55-12:05

Lincoln was arguably our finest President. He had many other skills: frontiersman, lawyer, politician, writer,

and negotiator. He came from humble beginnings and received little to no formal education. Yet his

accomplishments rank him as one of the most revered Americans ever. During our session, we will attempt

to understand what made Lincoln tick. We will trace his childhood in Kentucky and Indiana, his self-study

program to learn the law, his entry into politics, and his marriage to Mary Todd. We will discuss his evolving

view of the slavery question and his handling of the many complex issues before and during the Civil War.

Many historians have called Lincoln a genius. Let’s find out why.

The Arab/Israeli Dilemma: Part II – Where Part I brought the contention over Palestine into the open, Part II

colonialism, national aspirations, cultural memory, genocide, political maneuvering, security, justice and

stereotyping all come into play. The study emphasizes the increasing insolvability of a crisis that continues

to increase the number of issues in dispute. Layering decreases the likelihood of a solution because it

obscures the source[s] of the dilemma.

Jeff Heim

B.S., M.A., Penn State Univ.; M.A., Temple Univ.

The Making of America's Infrastructure


Day: Wednesday

Time: 1:15-2:25

How did 13 former British colonies situated along the Atlantic coast eventually become the greatest country

in the world? As the new nation grew and acquired territory, it became larger than any European country,

and travel was difficult. This course will focus on the development of the nation’s infrastructure, from

waterway transport, to the development of the railroads and mass transit systems, to the nation’s roads and

bridges. We will cover the introduction of electricity and the nation’s electrical grid, along with innovations

that followed, such as air transportation.

Day: Monday

Time: 10:55-12:05

A border misunderstanding, coupled with a lack of respect on both sides, added to an American quest for

manifest destiny, which caused the Mexican-American War. This course will trace the lead up to the start of

the war. It will cover the military effort and successes from the Texas border fighting, to the landing of

troops in Vera Cruz, through the march on Mexico City. The treaty signed at the war’s end, gained (at

Mexico’s expense) a great amount of land for America. The aftermath provided the situation that led to the

start of our Civil War.

Paul Mattheiss (See bio. on page 9)

Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?


Day: Tuesday

Time: 1:15-2:25

Summer 2018 Film Series:

Wednesdays, 1:00pm

Loyola Hall, Room 127

July 11 - “Labyrinth of Lies” (2015, 2 hr, 4 min.) Roberta Matz

1968 Germany, almost no one remembers the war nor recognizes what Auschwitz was nor feels any guilt over their past. A young prosecutor takes a case against a former concentration camp guard. As he prepares this case, he digs into the collective recent past and the labyrinth of lies surrounding it. (German language, English subtitles)

July 18 - “Up” (2009, 96 min.) Michael Simeone

An animated film about an elderly man who is disappointed with his life until he embarks on a wild adventure with a young companion. A delightful, emotionally resonant film with many adult themes. (English subtitles)

July 25 - “Murder on the Orient Express” (2010, 93 min.) Ann Calef

Starring David Suchet as Hercule Poirot and an all-star cast. In early 1933, while traveling on the luxurious Orient Express train from Stamboul (Istanbul) to Calais, Hercule Poirot investigates the murder of a man on board. This Agatha Christie murder mystery explores the nature of justice and the limits of the law. (English subtitles)

August 1 - “Roman Holiday” (1953, 2 hours) Ross Kershey

A princess escapes for a 24 hour holiday from royal duties and has a brief romantic interlude with an American journalist, Gregory Peck. The film was nominated for an Academy Award and Audrey Hepburn won for her portrayal of the princess. The story (screenplay) was written by blacklisted writer, Dalton Trumbo, who used a front to accept the Academy Award.

August 8 - “Cabaret” (1972, 2 hr. 4 min.) Terry Smallacombe

Although it was awarded 8 Oscars, Cabaret is not what we expect in a musical. It is set in a glamorous, foreign venue – Berlin’s KITKAT club – and has great memorable music sung by Liza Minelli and Joel Grey; there’s a chorus dancing in fabulous 1930’s costumes, and there is sex with tangled lovers. It is all so carefree and sophisticated! But underneath is the oncoming Nazi threat, as the club’s clientele subtly changes from noisy foolishness to solemn, booted watchfulness.

August 15 - “The Sting” (1973, 129 min.) Amanda Atkins

Winner of seven Academy Awards, The Sting is an intricate comedy about a small-time crook (Robert Redford) and a veteran con man (Paul Newman) who seek revenge on a crime lord.

Day Trip

Grounds For Sculpture is a 42-acre sculpture park and museum located in Hamilton, NJ, United States, on the

former site of the New Jersey State Fairgrounds. Founded in 1992 by John Seward Johnson II, the venue is

dedicated to promoting an understanding of, and appreciation for, contemporary sculpture by organizing

exhibitions, publishing catalogues, and offering a variety of educational programs and special community events.

In 1984, J. Seward Johnson, sculptor and philanthropist, envisioned a public sculpture garden and museum in Hamilton, NJ. His desire was to make contemporary sculpture accessible and offer people from all backgrounds the opportunity to become comfortable with contemporary art. Grounds For Sculpture was conceived as a place where audiences could experience sculpture in a familiar, accessible, and informal setting. Construction on the sculpture park began in 1989 on the site of the former New Jersey State Fairgrounds. Grounds For Sculpture opened to the general public in 1992.

The park's exhibits include sculptures by distinguished artists- Clement Meadmore, Anthony Caro, Beverly

Pepper, Kiki Smith, Magdalena Abakanowicz, Boaz Vaadia, and New Jersey sculptor George Segal.
