Prof. Howard Bloch <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notre Dame Cathedral and the Rise of the University<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gothic cathedrals were great engines of urban renewal in the High Middle Ages. The great religious work projects contributed to the revival of trades and to the new institutions of medieval towns. Not the least of these was the University of Paris, which grew out of the cathedral school of Notre-Dame in the second half of the twelfth century. Using three sculptural programs on the outer walls of Notre-Dame alongside the example of Abelard, we shall examine the ways in which stories carved in stone\u2014 the Miracle of Theophilus, the martyrdom of Saint Stephen, and scenes of student life\u2014 affirm the power of disputation, writing, and the book culture which flourished just up the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

screening of multiple award-winning film <\/strong>followed with Q&A<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will then have the opportunity to ask directly questions to its filmmaker, Hassane Mezzine who will take the time to explain why Frantz Fanon was\/is important and how he did this film about him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“From yesterday to today, filmmaker Hassane Mezine turns his camera towards women and men who knew and shared privileged moments with Frantz Fanon,  the “flint warrior,” as per this beautiful formula by Aime C\u00e9saire,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in the course of the struggle, but also in family and friendly intimacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The director brings the viewer on a journey from the homeland to the foci of political and social struggles passing through the land where Fanon is buried.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEach generation must discover its mission, fulfill it or betray it, in relative opacity.\u201d \u2013Frantz Fanon<\/p>\n\n\n\n
