...disagrees with the argument that museums are “identity-forming institutions” and that the most “authentic voices” to understand a work of art come from the artist’s culture. Citing Edward Said, he called this an unfortunate consequence of nationalism and argued that museums should represent a diverse set of cultures...
...episodes, however, will probably please those who complained that Season 4 overemphasized domestic drama--rather than Mob stories, the show's popcorn hook--and lacked focus.

Depp has been around forever, contributing sensitive performances in challenging films like Edward Scissorhands, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? and Before Night Falls. That his first Oscar nomination is for work in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean isn’t the result of Hollywood politics. Coming later than it should, the nomination justifiably rewards a characteristically offbeat comic...
