Oct 6    Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: Anatomy of a Masterpiece with Lance Rhoades

Date: Thursday, October 6, 2016
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Location:
Moses Lake Museum & Art Center, 401 S. Balsam St.
Cost: FREE

Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau presents:

Who controls life and death? Does a man-made being have (human) rights issues? Although regarded as Gothic sensationalism when first published - both for its lurid tale of a scientist driven mad by his obsession to animate the dead and for the surprising news that the author was nineteen-year-old Mary Shelley - Frankenstein has resonated widely in the popular imagination, most notably in theater and cinema. Over the two centuries since its publication, the work has also served as a vivid allegory in debates about technology, slavery, and universal suffrage. Led by scholar Lance Rhoades, this multi-media presentation considers how Shelley addressed some of mankind’s greatest concerns with a creation that took on a life of its own.

Time: 7:00 p.m.                       
Location:
Moses Lake Museum & Art Center, 401 S. Balsam St.
Cost: FREE

Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau presents:

Can films teach us about philosophy? Is what we feel while watching a film linked to what we learn? Film holds tremendous power to shape the thoughts of audience members. Many types of films exist today, from the deeply philosophic to the comedic. What happens when you combine the two concepts into one discussion about film? In this unique take on philosophy, film and comedy, professor Mike VanQuickenborne shares brief clips from Being John Malkovich, I Heart Huckabees, Intolerable Cruelty and Adaptation to start a conversation about philosophy and explore the issues raised by each of these films.

Time: 7:00 p.m.                       
Location:
Moses Lake Museum & Art Center, 401 S. Balsam St.
Cost: FREE

Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau presents:

Which superhero do you identify with? What’s your superpower? We are drawn to the heroic, the superhuman. Since the revolutionary debut of Superman in 1938, the American superhero has been a regular part of our pop culture landscape. Wahl explores comic book heroes through the lens of a scholar, providing a fascinating view of our nation’s recent history. In this interactive multimedia presentation, journalist and comic book historian, T. Andrew Wahl, explores how historical events and shifting social mores can be seen in the evolution of characters from Wonder Woman to Spider-Man. Using audience members' memories as a springboard, this conversation connects comic book superheroes (and the occasional villain!) to historical topics including war, the advancement of civil rights, and the societal impacts of technology.

Oct 25    Being Mortal - Free Screening and Discussion of the PBS Program

You’re invited to a free screening and discussion of the PBS program “Being Mortal” on October 25, 2016 at Columbia Basin Technical Skills Center 900 Yonezawa Blvd. Moses Lake from 7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M.  Reviews range from “moving, compassionate, meaningful, informative to necessary, urgent and timely.”
 

You will be part of a national dialog taking place in our community that asks “Have you and your family had the tough conversations and planned ahead?”

 

“Being Mortal” delves into the hopes of patients and families facing terminal illness. The film investigates the practice of caring for the dying and explores the relationships between patients and their doctors. It follows a surgeon, Dr. Atul Gawande, as he shares stories from the people and families he encounters. When Dr. Gawande’s own father gets cancer, his search for answers about how to best care for the dying becomes a personal quest.

 

After the screening, you can participate in a guided conversation on how to take concrete steps to identify and communicate wishes about end-of-life goals and preferences.  Dr. E. Michael Graham, Dr. Cole Hemmerling and Bruce Pinkerton PLLC will anchor a board of professionals for questions and answers.
