Sama Alshaibi will take an immersive look into the visual and identity politics of portraiture and self-portraiture, into imagining the body as a setting in which political and personal narratives intersect and unfold. The question of the photographed subject presents a central ethical and political challenge today that is invariably bound up with centuries of image production, with the lenses through which we have constructed our selves and another’s self. The next Visiting Artists and Scholars Endowment (VASE) series lecture is Thursday, Nov.

As articulated in the original 1992 version, and deepened in Mann’s 2002 director’s cut, the major characters are driven by the need to control, protect or perpetuate their bloodlines. Mohicans shows that both an individual’s goal to mate and pass on genes and a civilization’s desire to possess and transform the land issue from the same biological urge. In the movie’s political/historical background, Native tribes, white settlers and British and French military forces compete to control the mountains and forests, which they hope will be overrun someday by their descendants. Reworking the same-named 1936 movie, Mann and co-screenwriter Christopher Crowe transform their literary source, James Fenimore Cooper’s chaste frontier potboiler, into a passionate tale of tough, simple men fighting and dying for land and women. A romantic drama set during the French and Indian War, Michael Mann’s The Last of the Mohicans is a primal epic of survival and the overpowering urge to reproduce.

It would be an interesting social experiment but not one I can endorse. But he disagrees about whether shouting “Integrity!” could work. I believe it is inadequate for the Christian today to shout “Compassion!” or “Celebrate!” and Gagnon seems to agree with me. Perhaps tellingly, the most vocal critics of my thesis have been adherents of the integrity and diversity frameworks. As I wrote in the CT article, I argue for an integrated framework that draws on the best of each of the three frameworks I described. Again, Gagnon assumes that I am a proponent of the disability framework. It is worth reiterating that I offer no wholesale defense of the disability framework or the diversity framework. We need to combine exegetical clarity with practical application. While Gagnon is strong on exegesis, I wonder how much experience he has providing direct services like pastoral care and counseling to families of gender dysphoric persons. I was also calling for an integrated lens that draws on the best each of these lenses has to offer. My article sought to briefly introduce the three frameworks (integrity, disability, and diversity) through which transgender matters can be seen rather than offer an encompassing presentation. I would like to thank Robert Gagnon for sharing his thoughts on my Christianity Today article, Understanding Gender Dysphoria. I carted around a paperback copy of this book for many years (far past the time I would generally be accounted “young”), always intending to read it but never getting past the first chapter or so. It took all my resolve to push myself to the end of this week’s book, John Gardner’s The Art of Fiction: Notes on Craft for Young Writers. Knowing that the sprint won’t last forever can help you stick with it when it gets hard. What can you begin or accomplish in the handful of weeks left in the year?

It’s October now – the true heart of Fuck It Fall – and now is the time to push yourself creatively just a bit. While the character played by Kevin Costner in the movie was trying to "ease his pain," the 15-year-old wants to earn his Eagle Scout badge by giving something back to his community. Joshua's ambition is more based in reality than Ray's was. The diamond already lies in the shadow of the old Brandon Mill in West Greenville, and it's where Jackson himself played for the textile mill before he broke in with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1908. He is creating a field of dreams for Shoeless Joe Jackson. And he is too young to be played by Kevin Costner.īut the high school sophomore and Life Scout (Troop 521) is doing something that Ray Kinsella did in the 1982 novel "Shoeless Joe" and the 1989 movie it inspired, "Field of Dreams." He is helping to revive the ghost of perhaps the greatest player not in the baseball Hall of Fame. He did not plow under a corn crop or kidnap a famous writer.
