Hey Good People,

Happy Spring Break! Some may be away, some may be right where you were the day before Spring Break hit. Either way, take some time to catch up, get re-focused, and study hard for the final bout of the semester.  I know many of you are exhausted, but remember, this all pays off in the end. Just keep pushing with whatever you have left, and find the motivation and strength you had from day one. If all fails, buy a coffee drink.

Film Screening Questions No. 3: Fire

DateThursday, March 11, 2010 at 9:10AM

Please see your questions below:

1. In what way can we possibly connect Fire and Once Upon a Quinceneara in terms of examining cultural/religious and a gendered practice(s) of tradition?

2. What is the transition from girlhood into womanhood for these women (in the film) and is there a process of Poisoning as explained by Dr. Pipher? Please defend your ideas.

3.Why would a film that examines "traditional expectations" for women be banned?

4. How can we understand culture/cultural practice vs oppression? Which one is most apparent in the film - and what reading can you best use to articulate this position/answer clearly?

Film Screening No. 2 Questions 

DateThursday, February 25, 2010 at 10:28AM

Please see your questions below:

1. In what ways can we put into context...Black Feminist Thought as expressed in the film?

2. Can Betty Freidan's application of "traditional feminism" be applied to anyone or any scene in this film (obviously you must explain)?

3. Using Patricia Hill Collins and Michelle Wallace, how can we interpret the actions of any/all/each of the Black male characters in the film?

4. What does the film ultimately teach about feminism (regardless of color) - use the readings to analyse.

Best Wishes,

GirlProfNYC
