Art as the critic: ‘Skylight,’ language and the ambiguity of sexual communication

Mike Donovan | Thursday, October 4, 2018

On the relationship between the artist and his or her art, I side with Michel Foucault — even though “It has been understood that the task of criticism is not to re-establish ties between the author and his work or to reconstitute an author’s experience through his works and, further, that criticism should concern itself

Washington’s wacky watershed week

Gary Caruso | Friday, September 28, 2018

During the Trump era, the President’s early morning tweets routinely sculpt a fast-paced, short-term and tension-filled political terrain each week. This week seems to have topped them all since the inauguration. It began with Trump’s rebuttal of why world leaders laughed at him at the United Nations.

Important and rule-breaking, ‘Nanette’ and ‘The Tale’ impress

Nicholas Ottone | Friday, September 7, 2018

An hour into her comedy special “Nanette,” Hannah Gadsby says, “Stories hold our cure.” Here are two.

Nora McGreevy | Wednesday, January 17, 2018

Woman after woman filed down the red carpet, each clad defiantly in black. #TimesUp pins on lapels glinted under the glare of paparazzi flashes. Activists such as Tarana Burke, Marai Larasi, Rosa Clemente, Ai-jen Poo, Billie Jean King and many more mingled with the regular Hollywood crowd on the red carpet and in the glitzy

Answering my hate email

Gary Caruso | Friday, December 1, 2017

Call it anything — hate email, cyber bullying or an electronic cry to counter an Oedipus complex or cure erectile dysfunction — haters relish an opportunity to lord over others by belittling peculiar physical characteristics, age, religion or other perceived weaknesses.

When the science is good, but the scientist isn’t

Sarah Cate Baker | Wednesday, October 25, 2017
