Today’s society is captivated by Victorian culture and fashion. Television series such as Downton Abbey, Netflix’s Bridgerton, or Hulu’s The Great, exemplify the romanticization of Victoriana. These productions are most notable for their elaborate and old costuming. Fashion defined the Victorian era of the 19th century in many ways, so much so, that it’s still immediately recognizable today.

 Carrie Bradshaw, you have done it again. You have kept us hanging on your every word and dot dot dot for almost 11 years now. Finally, you return, gracing us with your inconsistency, cigarettes and articles ending with rhetorical questions. Our only hope is this time you return with a legitimate understanding of race, cultural appropriation and human decency.

By Alex Carrigan  A person's identity is built up of many pieces that are constantly polished, sharpened, and reformed as the structure is formed. Many factors can influence one's development, whether it's their gender, sexuality, heritage, personal history, and more. To understand how one came to be, and how all of this can inform one's art, it takes a deep dive into the psyche and the past to truly understand one's self.

By Sara Swallow  Everyone loves Syllabus Week at the beginning of the semester. You can sit back and tip-toe back into the school environment without awakening too much stress or dealing with crazy deadlines. For most Humanities students, you know all about the required reading section on the syllabus. You'll see the list of books you have to buy/rent and know to read just enough of any title to get your participation points in during class discussions. Because let's be honest: You can't read everything—and sometimes you actually don't want to (like when you start a book you just can't stand to finish.) Sometimes the required essays, articles, and books don’t feel like an adequate use of your time but guess what? Your professors put those readings on your syllabus for a reason!
Here are some of the readings that I had on my syllabi that changed my life: The Breadcrumbs widget will appear here on the published site.

By Lina Romero  Ginny, driving her mother and brother (Diesel La Torraca) during episode one: Pilot. When Ginny & Georgia came out, everyone was calling it the new Gilmore Girls. Now that I’ve watched all 10 episodes, I find this couldn’t be further from the truth. However, the show has its own unique, Gen-Z charm and is well-cast and acted. Read on (at the risk of spoilers) for all my opinions. Trigger warning: Mentions of self-harm, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts, domestic and sexual abuse.

Last year, Quail Bell Press & Productions produced the poetry film "Butterflies" as part of the Visible Poetry Project initiative. Through the initiative, the director Christine Sloan Stoddard was matched with the poet Teri Elam—two strangers who had never collaborated together before. The film went on to premiere during the most unusual National Poetry Month on record! But, luckily, with all eyes online, this meant that "Butterflies" had a captive audience. The film is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video UK and has been featured in CURA, a journal published by Fordham University, Sanctuary Magazine, the Huntington Beach Cultural Cinema Showcase, and NPower Network, a Roku channel. While the director has been asked to share a few words about the film, we wanted to ask Teri, who wrote the featured poem, and actress Disnie Sebastien, who stars in the film, to share their thoughts, too.
See what Teri and Disnie had to share about the project in the interview that follows: |
