O Brother Film for the 11am class IOCC 201

My apologies for the technology in our classroom.  The college is attending to the problems.

Here is a Youtube link to the film, and I will place it on reserve in the library.

Tomorrow, I will add helpful chapter points here on this post.

For now, pay attention to the scenes with the Cyclopes (John Goodman), watch the Odysseus character, don't miss the "Song of the Sirens", the Underworld (movie theater) and pay close attention to the appearance of Homer (radio station scene).

Camus 1.28 and 1.30

Our first guest Professor will be engaging our class next week.  I will announce his credentials and introduce his topic on Moodle.  The class will be on-line both T and TH next week but that does not mean your attention can slack off.  I  will post his paper on Monday and you will need to respond to it by end of day Tuesday, he will respond to your questions/comments/observations later in the week, and I hope to get one more set of comments back to him.  This is the first of our wonderful opportunities to engage world-class scholars on Camus.  Enjoy!!!!

Camus 1.23.14

Just a reminder, we will meet face-to-face today and discuss your reaction to Camus' essay Neither Victims nor Executioners.
