FLANEUR TREK 1
5 FlâneurTREK UNITS
DERRIDA documentary
Friday, May 27, 2005 --6:30
Cine Lumiere Institute Francais,
17 Queensbury Place
South Kensington, Nearest Tube: South Kensington

I will meet you in front of HYDE PARK GATE for the 10 minute walk to the
Theatre at 6-sharp! The film is £5 with the student concession; I will try
to get a better deal if possible. DERRIDA is an amazing documentary on the
most important and influential philosopher of the 20th century. DO NOT go
on this FLANEURTREK if you hate PHILOSOPHY as you will suffer!  The
filmmakers are American, Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering Kaufman.

of LONDON culture; tonight, curious
anthropologists in posh togs, we
emerge to study the dynamics of
urban london culture.  while
not explicitly CINEMATIC, this tour
does take the pulse of visualondon NOW!

not a FLANEUR TREK but worth going

may 29 sunday
meeting time? 10:30 on the steps
of FOUNDATION HOUSE

LATIN MASS at the LONDON ORATORY
the largest catholic cathedral
this side of the Vatican!

the mass starts at 11am; the ORATORY,
built in the 19th century is an
impressive building--it moves
one spiritually in ways that I have
found surprising.

this is a special latin mass
sung by a choir.

donald the magnificent will lead this ghoulish tour!!!  we will meet in
the GLOUCESTER ROAD TUBE lobby and leave at 6:30 sharp to make it to Tower
Hill tube stop in time to pay and leave on his tour at 7-30; to earn your
4 tasty CINESNACKS, you will have to listen carefully to his tour and
write about the case that would best make a feature film; you must
identify ONE of the individuals whose murder is described and then then
write a two page abstract of the scene.  you can add sketches, pictures
etc, whatever makes it more ghoulishly fun for you... due Wednesday, June
15 in the IN-BOX marked CSU in the student lounge at Foundation House.
 

This Flaneurtrek is no big trek, but you do have to come to class
prepared!!!! That means you HAVE TO READ Ways of Seeing, the Ellen Strain
article on Exotic Bodies, and the Sophia Harvey Review....

For each piece, the book, the article and the review, HIGHLIGHT what you
view to be the most convincing paragraph, the most troubling/provocative,
and perhaps, a part of the writing you disagree with.

Remember to ADAPT in your mind all of Berger et al's conclusions in WAYS
OF SEEING to the world of Motion Pictures!

confused; the readings have been on your website for a week; you can find
them here:

For now, the Hankins article on Iris Barry is optional!!!!

International Student Center
Mandatory Pre-Departure Orientation Meeting for all 2005 London Summer Semester Students

GEN ST 450: (3 units) British Life and Culture. (British faculty) [This course fulfills SDSU upper division explorations under area C - Humanities.]

**The British Life and Culture course is taught by British guest lecturers and includes field trips to various places such as the British Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, the Tate Gallery, and the Houses of Parliament. The lectures are planned to give students an understanding of British culture and civilization and emphasize a social, historical, and cultural approach to contemporary British society by examining British traditions and institutions. 

Internships will also be offered for students interested in earning credit through an internship (usually 3 units with departmental approval).

The internship program will be for a ten week period and the cost would be adjusted accordingly.

As a global center for finance, design, applied research, higher education, public service, and the performing arts, London offers vast resources for interning students. Foundation provides placement, services, and support for these work experience options.

Dr. William A. Nericcio
Same as e549 but with a longer, onerous and utterly more daunting essay requirement as is to be expected of long-suffering graduate students.

Dr. John Makey
A weekly seminar that aims to immerse students in the life, culture, politics, and history of LONDON and the UK.

Dr. William A. Nericcio

One, two and three-unit courses designed by students in conjunction with Dr. Nericcio; past courses/projects have included: Theatre in London Today; British Art, Then and Now; Comparative Museum Analysis; Parliament: An Insider's View; etc.  Students are encouraged to develop their own special studies in conjunction with internships.
