Dialetheism is the view that some statements can be both true and false simultaneously. More precisely, it is the belief that there can be a true statement whose negation is also true. Such statements are called "true contradictions", or dialetheia.
"The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth — it is the truth which conceals that there is none. The simulacrum is true." -Ecclesiastes
Part II: This Financial Crisis
With Mark Kuperberg and Julie Maitrejean
In 2008, the global financial system almost collapsed, putting the word “crisis” on the front page of every newspaper. In 2010 and 2011, the sovereign debt crisis and an atmosphere of unrest all over the world have revealed an even more severe economic and social situation.
In the second meeting of “Dissecting Capitalism” we’ll come together to try to understand that crisis, why it happened, and what it has to do with the global movements of resistance that have been ignited in its wake. We’ll ask: Why do crises occur and what do they tell us about capitalism? What’s the role of government regulation in relation to crises like this one? How is this crisis different from crises of the past—and how is it the same?

There is experimental film and there is narrative film and between the two is an area that is still being explored. If you were always wondering what would happen if people really started experimenting with narrative in ways that are not "indiewood" but still indicate a story, then this could be a good class for you. We will look at many films that have pushed the boundaries of narrative storytelling conventions, including the works of people like Sissako (Waiting for Hapiness), Bela Tarr, Claire Denis (Trouble Every Day), Kiarostami, Monte Hellman (Road to Nowhere), Tarkovsky (Mirror), No Wave Cinema (Amos Poe, Richard Kern), Pat O'Neil, Raul Ruiz, Surkorov (The Second Circle), Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Robert Frank, Lucretia Martel (The Headless Woman), Veiko Ounpuu (The Temptation of St. Tony), and others.
