...analysis of events to the curriculum. For instance, Cold War historians of either political persuasion have long believed that the Venona documents—recordings of Americans who spied for the Soviet Union during the McCarthyism era—deserve mentioning in textbooks. Also, while the inclusion of the Black Panthers in discussions of the civil rights movement may taint its image somewhat, it is nevertheless crucial to understanding the evolving militancy of black mobilization in the mid-sixties. So before opponents associate all of the recommendations as mere brainwashing, it’s important to see that there...
...Vaginas of the Harvard Community,” credited to Colette S. Perold ’11, is a collage of sixteen black-and-white photographs, laid out in a four-by-four grid. Half of the images depict vaginas and half other objects—a head of lettuce, an elongated flame—but even these, in context, take on a distinctly labial character. Now imagine this piece juxtaposed with “Expanding Consent,” a thoughtful, 8000-word interview with feminist activist Jaclyn Friedman, also by Perold. The two were sandwiched together...
It’s not as if the position of social secretary boasts any historical import—Rogers’ predecessor Amy Zantzinger wasn’t exactly a household name, and comparable oblivion likely awaits Rogers’ successor, Julianna Smoot. Rogers may be the first black social secretary, but it’s probably safe to say that, with the election of the first black president, African American children can aspire to higher callings than arranging tea parties for the First Lady...
...film, however, does little more than present clips of these shows in relatively unexciting footage. Much of the film is shot in black and white, a treatment completely contrary to the White Stripes’ fervent belief that their music is spontaneous and immediate—not emulative and rooted in the past. Additionally, the black and white filter seems like a post-production effect added to produce some sense of feigned authenticity. This, too, is completely contrary to the White Stripes’ own recording methods, which involve tape-recording with little to no post-production work. There exists...
...sheepish Jack consoles Meg after driving her to tears with a piano ballad, suggests that this relationship is worthy of an entire film’s worth of material. This thread is abandoned, however, for nostalgic coverage of the White Stripes 10th anniversary concert, complete with a cheesy black-and-white freeze-frame of Jack and Meg waltzing at the end of the show. Any of these threads, if fully pursued, could have made an interesting movie, but Malloy’s attempt to encompass all of them results in a fractured and meaningless film, no more enjoyable than...
