Brian: Ingmar Bergman.  I too thought the title of this lecture was very intriguing and I was curious what it would be about. I was not sure what to expect learning about sex and eroticism from a foreign director who I have never heard of. However I could not get enough of the presentation from Professor Arne Laude.

Jill: In the 40s/50s sex and eroticism in films was very taboo. Directors had to come up with creative ways to hint at sex without showing anything.
Brigitte: One example of this is the transition of a couple kissing to roaring flames, a clear indication of what was to come.



Chris: To be entirely honest, this week's event was mainly attended because it was one of the few that fit into my schedule. I knew the content of the lecture was of a fairly specific topic, but I decided to give it a chance.

Seano:There was a diverse field of commenters and many of them opened my eyes to a university problem I didn’t realize was as severe as it is. The campus is very segregated in many levels and it is to the detriment of our society.














- 7:30 PM // February Dance: Hybridity // Krannert center for the Performing Arts // ALEX

Joey: Attached is my picture for 2/7/14//12:00 p.m.// From Black and Red Power to Hip Hop: Black and Native Relations, 1960s to Present// Native American House// Okay, so these are all examples of African American insensitivity towards Native Americans, much like how the rest of America often treats Native Americans (think of the Chief at UIUC). As I watched these videos though, I thought to myself, 'surely there is a deeper, more historical approach to the topic!'

Puja: Examples of misogyny and hyper-masculinity run rampant in our world, and it’s interesting how much more obvious they become when you display them in an educational environment.

Cate:  Improv. …and you can’t help but laugh because what are we doing right now in school? Trying to do things that will look good to someone who is probably only going to pay attention to us for a matter of seconds… it’s so painfully true that it’s funny.)

Kelly: They essentially fuse acting with comedy and do it all on the spot. It’s pretty incredible.
