Film Noir

 It's funny that a person who has voted against Champlain's new Core curriculum at every step of the way would make such a deliberate and sustained effort to take advantage of said new curriculum - or maybe, more accurately, subvert said curriculum. In the fall semester I have, foolishly, four preps, covering subjects like: the Muqaddimah of Ibn Khaldun; the Chinese novel Journey to the West; the Bedouin of the Wadi Rum (forming the core of a travel course); and a third year course on Japanese film noir.


Don't blame me, blame the Criterion Channel. It wasn't that long ago that I didn't know how fascinating Japanese film noir is.
