Artwork
in 8009 Haley Center - Marian Carcache For several years, Marian Carcache participated in gallery exhibits and sidewalk art shows alongside her former husband, Nicaraguan watercolorist and etcher, Juan Carcache. She has won many awards for her work and her hand-tinted photographs have graced the covers of various journals. "In my photography I tried to capture some of the magic that exists just beneath the surface of everyday reality," she says. "If someone looks at one of my photographs and tells me it is unsettling, then I know I've tapped into that magic." Her favorite subject matter includes religious icons and abandoned places and objects. Among those who have influenced her work, she lists photographers as unalike as Walker Evans and Eugene Meatyard; painters such as Edward Hopper and Robert Vickery; and the 20th century Southern and Hispanic writers of magical realism. Though she has taken a break from the camera for a number of years, she does intend to go back to the work of visual art as soon as life allows. Presently, she lives in Auburn with her son, five dogs, parakeet, and sugar glider. She teaches part-time in the English department and is an assistant at Auburn Acupuncture and Wellness Centre.

- Wednesday, August 27 at 7:30 pm in 1203 Haley Center Great Books is still Great Books. Although forms have been filed to change the name of our core literature sequence, the forms have not yet received the final approval. ENGL 2200 and 2210 and their Honors counterparts are still "Great Books." Assuming that the change is approved, the course titles will change to "World Literature" (note the singular, not plural) in the fall of 2004. Great Books Guidelines. Program guidelines still encourage faculty to include two papers, a midterm, and a final exam in the course, and to construct a syllabus represents a variety of chronological periods and a "balanced syllabus that represents the following kinds of texts: [1] works originally written in English; [2] works not originally written in English; [3] works by women; and [4] works by members of minority groups within Western culture or by members of non-Western cultures." Guidelines. Please remember that our compliance with these general guidelines helps reduce pressure to create additional guidelines. Great Books Resources. Our collection of print resources for faculty teaching Great Books is housed in 8011 Haley Center. Our video collection is in the workroom in 9030 and some additional DVDs are in the English Center.
