Monday, November 6th from 6 - 7:20 PM HG 1800:"Dissolving the Fourth Wall" with Tony Cutler. This lecture examines the artistic device in which one or more individuals depicted within an image regard us, even while we look at it from outside. Already extant in Greek red-figure vase painting, the motif recurs independently in Byzantine, Western Medieval and Italian Renaissance art. Following experiments of this sort in the late 19th century, the heyday of the form comes in the mid-20th century in Magritte’s Not to be Reproduced and Jasper Johns’s Target. Since there can be no question of influence across this huge span of time, some sort of theoretical scrutiny of this perennial motif is called for. Even sophisticated, contemporary videogames, predicated on the aesthetics of mutual observation and the metaphysics of reciprocity remain unhelpful in this respect. Discussion is needed.

Dr. Cutler teaches courses in Late Antique, Early Christian, and Byzantine art. He also teaches graduate courses on theory, iconology, and methods of research. He has taught at Penn State since 1967 and is firmly convinced that the practice of research, leading to publication, is an integral part of teaching.

Friday, November 17 from 7 - 9 PM Emerald Bay ABC, UCI Student Center “The Great Debate”: features students from the UCI Speech and Debate Club. The students will debate two topics:

  *   Title IX: “Should Title IX be changed to ensure due process for those accused of sexual assault?”
  *   Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA): “The DACA program was beneficial to America and shouldn’t have been ended….”

Chancellor announces “Confronting Extremism”: A year-long, campus-wide initiative: The world is changing. In recent years and months, we have seen increasing displays of hate, violence and unrest entrenched in extremism. While it is easy to simply ignore the discord around us, it is vital that we confront extremism head-on with our collective values of tolerance, equity, diversity, inclusion and free speech.

Primary Safety Tips (Social Media)
Sex offenses are increasingly being committed through the use of social media and other electronic tools.

  *   Check your privacy settings frequently, and
  *   before using social media to interact with others in a way that might seem OK (i.e., sharing private photographs of yourself),
  *   consider how someone else might exploit those same tools against you (i.e., further circulating those photographs or using them to blackmail you).

Additional Safety Tips (Social Media)

  *   Keep in mind that even if you set your social network page to private, it doesn’t guarantee that your information is completely private.
  *   Don’t forget your friends may be able to see your other friends’ posts and pages even if they’re not friends with each other.
  *   Be thoughtful about who is on your friend list when you post or link to certain items.
  *   Read the social network’s privacy policy and find out who else has access to your information, such as advertisers, third‐parties, etc.
  *   Make sure you are running anti‐virus and anti‐spyware software and make sure that definitions are updated.
  *   Document any content found online by taking screenshots to capture all images and information posted with it. Also record the URL of the sites. Keep a record of any other harassing or unwanted contact to you or anyone you know. Make sure to save all original emails or messages.
