Alliance Atlantis Donation, Faculty of Humanities News That is just what Dr. Imre Szeman, associate professor of English and Director of McMaster’s Institute on Globalization and the Human Condition, was recently able to do, thanks to a generous gift of over 130 DVDs from Alliance Atlantis to the Faculty of Humanities. Although part of the Faculty of Humanities, the Centre is the new location for all the University’s AV holdings, and includes facilities allowing instructors to preview and cue films, as well as viewing areas for students.

Mystic Women come to Television Mystic Women of the Middle Ages is one of the projects developed by the McMaster Faculty of the Humanities. Mystic Women also profiles Douceline de Digne (levitating prophet of Provence); plucky pilgrim (and mother of fourteen) Margery Kempe, who wrote the first English language autobiography; and French apocalyptic visionary Constance of Rabastens, who was persecuted by the Inquisition. The overarching subtext of Mystic Women is that, paradoxically, these visionaries gained true independence and enlightenment within the seemingly rigid, patriarchal structures of the Church. www.suite101.com /article.cfm/roman_catholicism/48207   (518 words)
