Society

[close] Welcome to the Selcouth Society Of The Arts (SSOTA), a club comprised of established, beginner, intermediate, or aspiring: artists, poets, composers, musicians, photographers, writers, actors, and filmmakers. Even if you do not consider yourself any of the following, by reading this, I invite you to join as a fellow reader. We welcome people of all ages and walks of life, and our doors are always open. Here, we celebrate knowledge, good books, and the beauty of life from different perspectives.

[close] We’re getting a group together! We all need a little Zola in our lives. Ok, so reading La Bète humaine may actually put a ton of Zola in some of our lives than others. Zola was born in April 1840 and was a naturalist, which was known for its social commentary. He was also known for his involvement in politics, a la his stance through the Dreyfus Affair. So I have to interject an opinion here-he has one of the most beautiful, original gravestones I’ve ever seen although his remains no longer lie under it. Les Rougon-Macquart consists of about 20 volumes and he started on this work around the age of 28. This group has been created to surround ourselves with some of the best French literature ever written. We will read and discuss perhaps gush our feelings into our comments.

[close] In5260, students choose 1 of 2 books to read related to technology and society. This is a forum to discuss what is happening in those books and how it connects to libraries. For the book you choose, respond twice to each forum posted (one should be a reply to the prompt and reply at least once to another member of your group). You are free to pop in and out of both groups, but you will only be graded on the group that you have signed up for!

[close] Friends, would you care to partake in a learned discussion of current events, the global economy, writing, selling, film, and reading? Then gift us with the honor of your sophisticated opinions, queries and humor on board our trireme of World, Writing and Wealth and sail the seven seas with us!
