SUMMARY:Christopher Breu: "In Defense of Sex"
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Breu: “In Defense of Sex”\nLecture at 10am \nAre sex and gender the same thing? Are trans* and intersex the same thing? Do we even need the category of sex anymore? Is it hopelessly retrograde\, a category that has run its course and has rightly been replaced by the endlessly more flexible category of gender? “In Defense of Sex” will put forward a concept of sex as embodying a different materiality than gender\, one that can form in tension with gendered embodiments and identifications and that asserts its own forms of agency\, resistance\, and refusal. It will do so by drawing on intersex theory\, gender theory\, trans* theory\, and a range of different materialist theories. A robust and nonreductive account of gender\, sexuality\, identification\, and subjectivity needs to retheorize sex. This talk will begin the work of retheorizing sex for the present. \nChristopher Breu is Professor of English at Illinois State University\, where he teaches courses on cultural and critical theory\, American literature 1900 to the present\, American popular culture\, literature and culture in a global context\, gender and sexuality. His publications include Insistence of the Material: Literature in the Age of Biopolitics (Minnesota 2014) and Hard-Boiled Masculinities (Minnesota 2005). He earned his PhD in Literature from UC Santa Cruz in 2000. \nSponsored by the Department of Literature\, Siegfried and Elisabeth Mignon Puknat Endowment.

SUMMARY:Ozploitation Film Series presents : Long Weekend (1978)
DESCRIPTION:An unsettling cross between Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds (1963) and an early Harold Pinter play\, Colin Eggleston’s Long Weekend presents us with an extremely prickly couple on holiday who are finding it harder and harder to tolerate each other even as it becomes increasingly apparent that nature itself might be out to do them in at their idyllic beach campsite. Petty squabbling and rampant passive aggressivity momentarily distract from the couple’s casual littering and senseless slaughter of animals. As the film goes on\, however\, the couple’s problems with each other and nature’s problems with them start to overlap and soon develop a queasily menacing force. Not to be missed!

SUMMARY:Contemporary Horror Auteur Film Series: À l ́interieur
DESCRIPTION:A French body horror film that takes home invasion movies to their ne plus ultra\, Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury’s À l’intérieur depicts the attempts of Sarah (Alysson Paradis)\, very pregnant and very alone in her house on Christmas Eve\, to ward off the efforts of “La Femme” (Beátrice Dalle) to break into Sarah’s home and (if she can) Sarah’s womb to take the baby for herself. Mixing together this gruesome premise with yuletide ennui and the aftereffects of the banlieue riots of 2005\, the film is a moody and unsettlingly downbeat Christmas tale. Not to be missed! \nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing films by contemporary horror film auteurs from France\, Japan\, and the United States each week. Same time\, same place. All are welcome. Tell your family\, invite your friends. \nSponsored (or at least turned a blind eye) by the Literature Department\, and produced by the usual gang of aficionados.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Horror Auteur Film Series: One Missed Call
DESCRIPTION:Helmed by the wildly prolific Takashi Miike\, whose other notable horror credits include Audition (1999)\, Visitor Q (2001)\, Gozu (2003)\, and Imprint (2006)\, One Missed Call takes the anxieties surrounding the obsolescence of video tape technology that were so gloomily evoked in Ringu (1998) and shifts them onto the rise of cellular phone communication and the exploitative potentials of reality television. Yumi Nakamura (Kô Shibasaki) tries to find out who or what is behind the death of her friend\, Yoko (Anna Nagata). Two days before her death\, Yoko receives a voice message from herself dated two days in the future\, and in this message Yoko and Yumi can hear Yoko screaming. Yumi’s search for answers becomes increasingly urgent as she too receives a voice message from herself with the date of her future death. Followed by two sequels\, a short-lived Japanese TV series\, and an American remake\, One Missed Call is not to be missed!  \nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing films by contemporary horror film auteurs from France\, Japan\, and the United States each week.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Horror Auteur Film Series: You're Next
DESCRIPTION:You never want to do anything interesting anymore. \nIf you’ve ever found yourself wondering what a mumblecore slasher film might be like\, then look no further than You’re Next. Directed by Adam wingard (who also helmed 2010’s elliptically grim A Horrible Way to Die and this year’s John-Carpenter-meets-The-Terminator homage The Guest) and featuring a number of prominent figures from the mumblecore scene (most notably Amy Seimetz and Joe Swanberg)\, the film is a wild recasting of the slasher film’s “Final Girl” as a survivalist killing machine let loose amidst murderous familial dysfunction in a Home Alone-like scenario. Not to be missed! \nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing films by contemporary horror film auteurs from France\, Japan\, and the United States each week. Same time\, same place.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Horror Auteur Film Series: Pulse
DESCRIPTION:Pulse (2001) \nWould you like to meet a ghost?\nAbout as bleak a depiction of apocalypse as you’re ever likely to come across\, Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Pulse is a J-Horror film in which short episodic vignettes slowly disclose a world where ghosts outnumber people and people have been reduced to black ashy stains on the wall. In the midst of dealing with the emotional fallout of their friend’s suicide\, a group of young people start to notice that their computers are accessing the internet on their own and loading websites that ask them if they would like to meet a ghost. As we cycle through a shifting set of characters faced with these phenomena\, it becomes clear that direct contact with the blurry spectral beings results in life-ending melancholy and forlornness\, and the only escape from this dire outcome seems to be isolating yourself in your barricaded house indefinitely. The bleak cinematography\, empty cityscapes\, and knife-like integration of cacophony and silence in the sound design make this an understated and creepily effective counterpoint to the more widely known Ringu (1998). A remarkably atmospheric expression of technological angst and the fear of being alone\, Pulse is not to be missed! \nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing films by contemporary horror film auteurs from France\, Japan\, and the United States each week. Same time\, same place. All are welcome. Tell your family\, invite your friends. \nSponsored (or at least turned a blind eye) by the Literature Department\, and produced by the usual gang of aficionados.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Horror Auteur Film Series: The House of the Devil
DESCRIPTION:During the 1980s\, over 70% of American adults believed in the existence of abusive satanic cults.\nA typically low key and intelligent horror film from Ti West\, perhaps the most critically lauded of America’s rising generation of horror movie auteurs\, The House of the Devil is a moody and evocative spin on the satanic cult sub-genre. In an attempt to raise money for a deposit on an apartment\, Samantha (Jocelin Donahue) agrees to babysit for the Ulmans (Tom Noonan and Mary Woronov) on the night of a total lunar eclipse. After admitting that in fact they do not have a child but rather a grandmother who needs tending to\, the Ulmans insist that the old woman not be disturbed and that Samantha really ought to order a pizza for dinner on their dime. True to form for West\, what ought to scare you here might not be the Satanists but the pizza. Not to be missed! \nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing films by contemporary horror film auteurs from France\, Japan\, and the United States each week. Same time\, same place.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Horror Auteur Film Series: Suicide Club
DESCRIPTION:They’re not the enemy.\nThe film that put Shion Sono on the international art house horror map\, Suicide Club opens with the bizarre and eerie sight of 54 uniformed teenage schoolgirls queued up beside a subway platform where they hold hands\, begin to sing\, and then all at once hurl themselves into the path of an arriving train. The police investigation into their deaths seems to be going nowhere when an alarming number of suicides start to sweep through the country\, and a semi-anonymous phone tip directs the detectives to a website keeping count of the suicides\, sometimes listing deaths even before the police know about them. Braiding together this police procedural narrative with comedic skewerings of Japanese popular culture (most notably through the appearances of the fictional pre-teen pop band called Dessert) and some serious misgivings about the loss of interpersonal contact due to developments in technology\, Suicide Club is a tonally shifty film that evades giving the viewer much in the way of resolution even as it leaves you with a set of images and sequences you won’t soon be forgetting. Not to be missed! \nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing films by contemporary horror film auteurs from France\, Japan\, and the United States each week. Same time\, same place. All are welcome. Tell your family\, invite your friends. \nSponsored (or at least turned a blind eye) by the Literature Department\, and produced by the usual gang of aficionados.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Horror Auteur Film Series: Martyrs
DESCRIPTION:It’s easy to create a victim. \nOne of the more insightful recent examples of French extreme cinema and “torture porn\,” Pascal Laugier’s Martyrs is a singularly divisive horror film experience. After police officers rescue her following over a year of repeated exposure to torture and torment\, Lucie build up her strength in an orphanage and befriends Anna\, another victim of abuse. Fifteen years later Lucie (Mylène Jampanoï) and Anna (Morjana Alaoui) break into the house of a seemingly middle-of-the-road bourgeois family whom Lucie proceeds to slaughter with gory abandon because she believes them to be the perpetrators of her yearlong suffering and abuse as a child. These gruesome acts give way to some obvious problems (primarily having to do with how to dispose of the bodies) and the unexpected discovery of a hidden staircase that leads to the more affecting and startling atrocity exhibitions (and almost spiritual ordeals of survival) in the film’s second half. Though it is certainly one of the most graphic films we’ll be showing this quarter\, Martyrs is not to be missed! \nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing films by contemporary horror film auteurs from France\, Japan\, and the United States each week. Same time\, same place. All are welcome. Tell your family\, invite your friends. \nSponsored (or at least turned a blind eye) by the Literature Department\, and produced by the usual gang of aficionados.

SUMMARY:Misfit Horror Film Series: Freaks
DESCRIPTION:Misfit Horror: A film series dedicated to one-of-a-kind horror movies whose originality and power have been unjustly neglected because they aren’t at all what you expected. \nMarch 16th – Freaks (1932\, dir. Tod Browning) – a Pre-Code horror flick that still has the capacity to haunt and creep you out \nThe granddaddy of all the misfit horror films we’ve been exploring this quarter\, Freaks is Tod Browning’s empathetic depiction of the physically deformed performers who comprise the circus sideshow of Madame Tetrallini (Rose Dione). A beautiful acrobat marries and poisons a rich midget named Hans (Harry Earles) in order to get his inheritance\, for which the “freaks” in the circus enact a gruesome revenge. As this brusque summary suggests\, it is the “normal” people in the film who often come across as monstrous and grotesque\, though the film does provocatively pose the question of where compassion for these “freaks” stops and the exploitation of them begins. Made the year following his famous adaption of Dracula with Bela Lugosi\, Browning’s Freaks is not to be missed! \nSunday nights at 7PM in 150 Stevenson. Sponsored (or at least turned a blind eye) by the Literature Department\, and produced by the usual gang of aficionados. More informative flyers to follow weekly.

DESCRIPTION:Misfit Horror  \nA film series dedicated to one-of-a-kind horror movies whose originality and power have been unjustly neglected because they aren’t at all what you expected. \nA Chinese Ghost Story (1987\, dir. Siu-Tung Ching) is a remarkable high point of 80s Hong Kong cinema. \nBoth an adaptation of a story by Pu Songling written during the Qing Dynasty and a remake of a Shaw Brothers film entitled The Enchanted Shadow (1960)\, A Chinese Ghost Story is feverish mix of romance\, comedy\, and Evil Dead-style supernatural horror. After he fails to collect a debt owed to him\, a young scholarly tax collector (Leslie Cheung) is forced to spend the night in an abandoned temple where he meets and falls in love with a beautiful young woman (Joey Wong)\, whom he subsequently realizes is a ghost enslaved to a Tree Demon (Siu-Ming Lau). With a Taoist swordsman (Ma Wu) at his side\, he sets out to free his beloved spirit from eternal servitude\, even if he has to follow the Tree Demon into the underworld to do so. The inspiration for two sequels\, an animated film version\, a television series\, and a remake in 2011\, A Chinese Ghost Story is a high point of Hong Kong cinema during what was arguably its most fertile creative period. Not to be missed! \nSunday nights at 7PM in 150 Stevenson. Sponsored (or at least turned a blind eye) by the Literature Department\, and produced by the usual gang of aficionados. More informative flyers to follow weekly. \n

SUMMARY:Misfit Horror Film Series: Love Object
DESCRIPTION:Misfit Horror  \nA film series dedicated to one-of-a-kind horror movies whose originality and power have been unjustly neglected because they aren’t at all what you expected. \n  \n \nRelationships come and go\, but plastination is forever!  \nThe only film hitherto written and directed by Robert Parigi\, Love Object creepily tells the story of a love triangle involving a young man\, a young woman\, and an anatomically correct sex doll that looks an awful lot like the young woman. Kenneth (Desmond Harrington) is a socially maladroit technical writer who pines for a temp typist in his office\, Lisa (Melissa Sagemiller)\, but cannot work up the nerve to ask her out. Shown an internet site selling deluxe sex dolls for thousands of dollars\, he designs a life-size rubber doll made to look like Lisa\, though he christens the doll Nikki. After developing a comprehensive relationship with Nikki (including sex and nightly tête–à–têtes)\, Kenneth works up the nerve to approach Lisa\, which only makes Nikki more and more violently jealous. In many respects a companion film to Lucky McKee’s May\, a much more widely known and respected horror film released the previous year—in his excellent book Nightmare Movies: Horror on Screen since the 1960s Kim Newman goes so far as to suggest that May and Kenneth “might be soulmates if they weren’t in different films”—Love Object is not to be missed! \nSunday nights at 7PM in 150 Stevenson. Sponsored (or at least turned a blind eye) by the Literature Department\, and produced by the usual gang of aficionados. More informative flyers to follow weekly. \n

SUMMARY:Misfit Horror Film Series: The House with Laughing Windows
DESCRIPTION:The House with Laughing Windows (1976\, dir. Pupi Avati) – a moody and masterful giallo (Italian thriller / mystery / slasher film)\nOne of the most remarkable (albeit atypical) examples of a giallo (Italian mystery-thriller-slasher film) out there\, Pupi Avati’s The House with Laughing Windows is a masterpiece of mood and ambient creepiness whose ability to stretch an atmosphere of queasy apprehension to the absolute breaking point over the course of a feature-length film is probably second only to Nicholas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now\, made just three years previously. A young art historian named Stefano (Lino Capolicchio) comes to a remote Italian village to restore some twentieth-century frescos that depict the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian in an old church. Some rumors suggest that the deceased artist of the works actually tortured and murdered his real-life models. Meanwhile\, Stefano’s efforts to restore the frescoes get sidetracked by all the locals who have secrets they want to share with him but cannot because they keep dying under mysterious circumstances before they can actually get down to the business of telling him much of anything. This is a movie whose tensions and uneasiness build and build and build . . .

SUMMARY:Martin Devecka: "Some Ends of the City: Ruins and Utopia in the Ancient World"
DESCRIPTION:The Literature Department invites you to attend a talk held in conjunction with the search for a position in Mediterranean Studies: Ancient Comparative \nWhy do ruins happen? Are they caused by natural catastrophes\, invasions\, economic collapse\, state failure\, or by something else? This talk will address these questions from a new perspective\, integrating sociological comparison of ancient societies including Arabia\, Athens\, and Rome with analysis of ancient writings about ruins to suggest that literary fantasies about post-urban life may play as important a part in bringing about the destruction of cities as any of the causes conventionally invoked by historians. \nMartin Devecka is a Mellon Postdoctoral Associate at Yale University\, where he received his Ph.D. in Classics and Comparative Literature in 2012. He has taught there and at Brown University on subjects ranging from Latin political thought to Greco-Roman zoology. His research interests include animals\, the history of technology\, and the cultures of the Red Sea.

SUMMARY:Misfit Horror Film Series: Who Can Kill a Child?
DESCRIPTION:Misfit Horror  \nA film series dedicated to one-of-a-kind horror movies whose originality and power have been unjustly neglected because they aren’t at all what you expected. \n  \nJanuary 19th – Who Can Kill a Child? One of the most disturbing horror films from a decade that was conspicuously filled with them\, Who Can Kill a Child? takes The Birds (1963) and replaces Alfred Hitchcock’s bloodthirsty birds with an island full of homicidal children. Directed by Narciso Ibáñez Serrador (whose other horror film of note is the wonderfully sordid and atmospheric The House That Screamed from 1969)\, this Spanish production opens with a documentary montage of atrocity footage from around the world (the Holocaust\, the Korean War\, the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971\, etc.) to polemically motivate the reasons why the children of the small island of Almanzora have collectively murdered the adult population there. Arriving in Almanzora on holiday\, the baby-expecting couple of Tom (Lewis Fiander) and Evelyn (Prunella Ransome) discover that the island appears to be deserted. Shops are untended\, no bellboys are waiting in the foyers of the island’s hotels\, restaurants are totally devoid of patrons or servers. The benign suspicion that the inhabitants are all on siesta\, however\, soon shifts to doubts and fears about the children who start to appear everywhere. Though not a gory film\, Who Can Kill a Child? remains a supremely unsettling film that will linger with you for a long time\, like it or lump it. Not to be missed! \n  \nSunday nights at 7PM in 150 Stevenson. Sponsored (or at least turned a blind eye) by the Literature Department\, and produced by the usual gang of aficionados.

SUMMARY:1930's FIlm Series: "Chapaev (1934)"
DESCRIPTION:An important example of socialist realism in Soviet cinema\, Chapaev charts the ideological development and refinement of Chapaev (Boris Babochkin)\, a charismatic leader of a Red Army division. Under the guidance of his accompanying Party commissar\, Dmitri Furmanov (Boris Blinov)\, the impetuous and proud Chapaev learns important lessons in the dialectic of spontaneity and consciousness. Released on the seventeenth anniversary of the October revolution and directed by Georgii and Sergei Vasil’ev (often referred to as the Vasil’ev Brothers\, even though they weren’t fraternally related)\, Chapaev was the most popular Soviet film of its time and a huge hit internationally. Not to be missed! \n\n\n\nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing 1930s films from different countries each week. Same time\, same place. All are welcome. Tell your family\, invite your friends.\n\n\n
