Philosophy Colloquium: Peter Alward on Photographic Fiction (13.11.11)
Coming up next Friday, Peter Alward (University of Lethbridge and University of Saskatachewan) will be delivering a talk on "Varieties of Photographic Fiction" as part of the Department of Philosophy's Colloquium Series. While I suspect that Alward's talk may be somewhat technical, I'd also point out that he is an acknowledged leader in this area of aesthetics (i.e., theories of fiction as applied to photography). If you're at all interested in the topic, it would be a shame to miss it.
Friday, November 18th
3:30 PM, ESB Room 112
More on Donny Johnson (07.11.11)
I mentioned his story in class yesterday; here's the official web site for 'not-just-a-prison-artist' Donny Johnson:

As Promised: Hitchock on Montage (19.10.11)
As I mentioned in class today, Hitchcock's mastery of montage ('cutting') to achieve cinematic
effects might be an instance of what Collingwood would call "craft"
as opposed to "art properly so called." The following video clip could
be used as evidence for that view. If you are at all interested in
film, watch it through to the end: It's like a miniature course in
filmmaking from the master.
