The Existential Ambiguity Of Authentic Love In Alice Diop's Saint Omer, Kelli Fuery
The Existential Ambiguity Of Authentic Love In Alice Diop's Saint Omer, Kelli Fuery
CCI Articles and Research
Using Simone de Beauvoir's and Frantz Fanon's existentialist phenomenology, this article examines an existentialist ethics of recognition as an act of authentic love in Alice Diop's Saint Omer (2022). Loosely based on a true story, Saint Omer tells a story of filicide: Laurence Coly leaves her baby on a beach to die and we follow the subsequent courtroom drama as it unfolds. The film also follows Rama, a literature professor intending to write up the case as a contemporary version of the Medea myth. I suggest Saint Omer presents an ethics of recognition in its avoidance of the superficial question …
Sexual Violence, Rape Culture, And The Ethics Of Care In Promising Young Woman (2020), Blink Twice (2024), And Women Talking (2022), Naomi H. Fredgant
Sexual Violence, Rape Culture, And The Ethics Of Care In Promising Young Woman (2020), Blink Twice (2024), And Women Talking (2022), Naomi H. Fredgant
Film and Media Studies (MA) Theses
Evolving public discourse on rape and rape culture is reflected in contemporary cinema. This thesis analyzes Promising Young Woman (2020), Blink Twice (2024), and Women Talking (2022)—all directed by women—through the theoretical framework of the ethics of care, highlighting how these films expose the persistence of rape culture and the systemic failure of institutions to support victims of sexual violence. Drawing on scholarship about rape culture, this analysis shows how the rape myths and institutional gaslighting depicted in these films function to dismiss victims’ testimonies, mirroring broader patterns of invalidation. The films explore both individual and collective responses to sexual …
Women And Revolution: Marx And The Dialectic, Lilia D. Monzó
Women And Revolution: Marx And The Dialectic, Lilia D. Monzó
Education Faculty Articles and Research
This article argues that Marxism is inherently anti-sexist, anti-racist, and against all forms of exploitation and oppression. As a philosophy of revolution, Marxism is more than about economic restructuring but rather argues for the development of a new humanity based upon a class-less mode of production. Dialectically, these changes must come simultaneously from changing relations of production, changes in the material conditions of families, and the development of values and ideologies related to freedom and equality. Women's liberation and anti-racism play a central role in this revolution. Working class women and women of color are especially roused to action due …

"En 1949, quand Simone de Beauvoir publie Le Deuxieme Sexe, elle y raconte l'histoire des femmes - son histoire des femmes. Avec regret, la jeune intellectuelle observe a quel point le monde appartient aux hommes, combien la societe a lentement contribue a modeler la femme comme un objet, comme 'l'inessentiel', 'l'autre' (DS 1: 17). Contre une societe dominee par les hommes, Beauvoir croit pourtant que les choses peuvent evoluer, puisque, loin d'etre naturels, notre identite, notre moi, resultent davantage du temps, de l'histoire, et de conditions variables. II n'est done pas surprenant que l'un des espaces explores et condamnes …
