Underground Film Screening

Hello all, this week underground presents short documentary films by Werner Herzog. Though he is best known for his hallucinatory, ecstatic narrative films, German director Werner Herzog has produced an extensive body of documentary work over the past several decades, including 2005's acclaimed Grizzly Man. As with that film, Herzog's documentaries often deal with unusual, obsessive individuals and the relationships between nature and human beings.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS SCREENING WILL BE HELD IN WOODBURN HALL, ROOM 120 at
7 p.m. on Friday, February 20.
*******************************
The underground film series is sponsored by Indiana University's Department of Communication and Culture. All screenings are on alternating Fridays at 7 p.m. in room 251 of the Radio-TV building on the IU campus. All screenings are free and open to the public, and free parking is ample in the lot adjacent to the building, provided you clearly display an underground flyer on the dashboard of your vehicle.

We want at least one of the directors to be a technical director. These students do not need to have any experience in the theatre or experience with individuals with disabilities.

La tregua (The Truce or The Awakening)
A film by Francesco Rosi (1996)
Follows the release and the return to Italy of Italian chemist turned author Primo Levi from Auschwitz. The film is a careful adaptation of Levi’s second book on his experience in the concentration camp. It took filmmaker Francesco Rosi 10 years to make the film. The journey home took Levi and his few companions through many different countries. Through his companions and his new experiences, his appreciation of life and freedom slowly returns. (In English)


Background: Racism against Jews in Fascist Italy

« È tempo che gli Italiani si proclamino francamente razzisti. Tutta l'opera che finora ha fatto il Regime in Italia è in fondo del razzismo. Frequentissimo è stato sempre nei discorsi del Capo il richiamo ai concetti di razza. La questione del razzismo in Italia deve essere trattata da un punto di vista puramente biologico, senza intenzioni filosofiche o religiose. La concezione del razzismo in Italia deve essere essenzialmente italiana e l'indirizzo arianonordico. »
(La difesa della razza, anno I, numero 1, 5 agosto 1938, p. 2)

Gennaro Marciano. Tuteliamo e Difendiamo la Sanità della Razza! Rome: Stabilimento Tipografico Europa, 1933.
The question of defending the Italian race came up precociously -- five years before the regime promulgated its discriminatory laws -- in this appeal for a concerted campaign against tuberculosis.

Paolo Orano. Gli Ebrei in Italia. 2nd ed. Rome: Casa Editrice Pinciana, 1938.
Orano's diatribe (first published in 1937) provided the intellectual premise for the racial laws directed by Mussolini's government against its Jewish subjects in the course of 1938. This subtle, nuanced, but devastating attack on Italy's forty thousand Jews for their alleged Zionist sympathies, championing of "degenerate" avant-garde cultural expressions, and doubtful loyalty to the Fascist regime and its imperial claims, was an ominous prelude to the impending storm. Prompt responses to Orano's work by prominent Jewish figures, also exhibited here, were to no avail.

Abramo Levi. Noi Ebrei. Rome: Casa Editrice Pinciana, 1937.
Levi's Noi Ebrei, a response to Paolo Orano's Gli Ebrei in Italia, is primarily an anthology of contemporary writings intended to demonstrate that the Jews in Italy, totaling a mere forty thousand in a population of forty-three million, did not constitute a problem for Italian society, but were instead loyal, fully integrated citizens, for the majority of whom Zionism had scarce appeal. Mussolini's racial laws discriminating against Jews and depriving them of most of their civil rights were promulgated the following year.

We also confirm the new IUSA executive administration each year and make decisions when IUSA campaign issues arise or if results of an election are ambiguous. We hold conferences with campus judicial boards to determine the consistency of sanctions and are also involved in editing the Student Code. Additionally, Court members serve on student advisory boards all over campus. The Court is unique in that its decisions have the potential to impact the entire Bloomington campus community. We welcome your application!

Feb. 6 underground screening--Holy Mountain

Hello all, this week's underground screening is Alejandro Jodorowsky's wild and wooly Holy Mountain.

**********************************
Following our Fall screening of Jodorowsky's El Topo, we present his follow-up, which may be even stranger. As in El Topo, this film focuses on a lone protagonist (The Thief) seeking self-improvement through encounters with a series of powerful individuals. All the way through to its surprise ending, which shifts the film's concern with the liminal space between heaven and earth into another register, The Holy Mountain is surreal, psychedelic, and revelatory. (114 min.)

***********************************
The underground film series is sponsored by Indiana University's Department of Communication and Culture. All screenings are on alternating Fridays at 7 p.m. in room 251 of the Radio-TV building on the IU campus. All screenings are free and open to the public, and free parking is ample in the lot adjacent to the building, provided you clearly display an underground flyer on the dashboard of your vehicle.

Volunteer Opportunity in Guatemala

Hey!

How's it going? I'm organizing a trip to Guatemala this spring break
that I thought would be interesting to you. It's really going to be an
amazing experience...

In a nutshell, the trip is going to be a combination of meaningful
agricultural volunteer work, relaxation, and some very exotic
excursions. The group will be working very closely with a
community-based non-profit organization to ensure that the volunteer
work we do will actually have a serious positive impact. And it's
going to be fun. We'll be in a charming Guatemalan city that has a
pretty sweet nightlife, and we're even going to hike an active volcano!

This won't be your typical Spring vacation. Unlike being a traditional
tourist, you'll actually form relationships with the local community,
gain incredible intercultural experience, learn more about yourself,
and make a real difference in the world. The trip may seem a bit
pricey at first glance, but I think that it's definitely a good
investment.

Think about it... this March you can either sit at home twiddling your
thumbs like everyone else, or go on a trip that will enrich your entire
college experience and touch the lives of others.

If you're interested, please email me at ecockrel@indiana.edu and I'll
send you some more specific information. I'm also holding an
information session between 4pm and 7pm on Saturday February 7th at the
IMU Starbucks, where I'll review the details of the trip and answer any
questions. Also look for me in the main library lobby Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday of next week. I hope that you can make it!

Pass/Fail Deadline for Full-Semester Classes

Monday, February 9th is the last day to sign up to take a full-semester class pass/fail.

If you are interested in taking a class pass/fail, please stop by my office (in the CMCL building at 800 E. 3rd Street, room 259) so we can complete the required paperwork.

Here is some information about the pass/fail option from the College of Arts and Sciences Bulletin (http://www.indiana.edu/~bulletin/iub/college/2008-2010/student.shtml#pass): “During the four years of their undergraduate program, students in good standing (not on probation) may enroll in a maximum of eight elective courses to be taken with a grade of P (Pass) or F (Fail). The Pass/Fail option is open for a maximum of two courses per academic year, including summer sessions. For the Pass/Fail option, the academic year is defined as beginning with the start of the fall semester and ending with the end of the second summer session. The course selected for Pass/Fail must be an elective (i.e., it cannot fulfill requirements other than the minimum 122 hours required for the degree, and the requirements for credit hours at the 300-400 level). It may not be used to satisfy any of the College of Arts and Sciences’ general education requirements, nor may it be counted as a part of the student’s concentration area, nor may it be counted toward completion of a minor or certificate program. The course or courses may be used to meet the requirement for courses at the 300-400 level.”
