The Instituto Nacional de Cinema Educativo (1936-1966) was a Brazilian organization created by the state to produce educational films which promoted learning and inquiry through nationalistic themes and topics. State-sponsored educational cinema was presented as a medium to advocate social betterment and civic engagement through education as well as being a vehicle to promote the ideals and politics of the state. To accomplish these goals, the state unsuccessfully co-opted the domestic commercial industry and its resources in an attempt to establish educational cinema as the national genre. However, state-sponsored educational cinema was an unsustainable venture as the state failed to recognize the fragile structure of the Brazilian commercial industry, the preferences of the internal market, and the influence and domination of foreign studios over the domestic market and industry, failing to create a cohesive Brazilian cinematic industry and voice. This study analyzes the emergence, purpose, and eventual failure of state-sponsored educational cinema by examining the economic treatises and dependency which inhibited industrialization, the circumstances under which educational cinema and the institute emerged, an overview of the history, goals, and challenges of the institute to effectively incorporate educational cinema into the social and cultural fabric of the country, and how the institute''s productions reflected these objectives and contributed to the Brazilian cinematic history and cannon.

The Baby and the Bathwater is a deeply personal chronicle of one woman''s involvement in Reclaiming, the Earth-based spiritual tradition formed by Starhawk and others in 1980. Through a series of blog posts written over a four-year period, author Anne Hill re-visits the inspiring ideals that helped Reclaiming spread around the world, as well as the challenges that caused her and others to leave the tradition. The Baby and the Bathwater provides a vivid glimpse into the most popular nature religion of the 1980s and 90s, and examines whether the movement is capable of producing the social change it espouses. The book also includes blog comments written by Macha NightMare, Thorn Coyle, Deborah Oak, Cat Chapin-Bishop, and many others. This edited collection from the pages of the popular Blog o'' Gnosis is sure to be of interest to readers of Anne''s previous book with Starhawk, Circle Round: Raising Children in Goddess Traditions, as well as anyone who has been inspired by The Spiral Dance or Earth-based spirituality.

A series of sculptures, Where the Heart Is, reflects on abruptly severed romantic bonds and unfulfilled familial roles. Drawing influence from Louise Bourgeois'' and Janine Antoni''s mode of working, this project delves into autobiographical instances of psychological trauma resulting from broken relationships. Contrasting household items with materials of value, the sculptures that constitute Where the Heart Is simultaneously celebrate the idea of home and mourn its absence. The dichotomies of hope and futility thread through the imagery and materiality I choose to work with. Materials that refer to the domestic realm conjure ideas of home and family, but I distort their usual function by altering them to create sculptures. This distortion of the material''s original function suggests that what I value is currently unattainable; these materials are superfluous. I select sheets, dining room chairs, molding, and pillows, which display experience and use. The sadly majestic sculptures, whether boat, ladder, or shrine, enable these worn items to transcend their innate banality. While these materials are not specific or personal, they suggest an intimate and shared experience. I am creating a fictitious past, or thinking about a family structure that I have not participated in. I emphasize home and family to make them seem as valuable as I imagine they could have been, and could potentially be. This project embodies an attempt to reconcile past emotional and psychological pain with the present. By encompassing formal and conceptual dichotomies, Where the Heart Is asks the viewer to ponder the potential of domestic experience, as well as melancholy caused by absence of this shared experience. Through juxtaposition of material and form, the work evokes questions of how to negotiate possibility and futility, hope and sorrow within the traditional familial realm.
