‘Normal People’ is not your average young adult romance

Sara Schlecht and Claire Rafford | Monday, August 24, 2020

“This [TV show] is dedicated to touching.” While not technically canon, this (modified) epigraph of sorts from the beginning of Harry Styles’ “Watermelon Sugar” music video is a fairly accurate, albeit surface-level, summation up one of the most oft-discussed television series from the world’s spring quarantine period: Hulu’s “Normal People.”  An adaptation of the 2018

Girl on ‘fire:’ female power reigns supreme in Celine Sciamma’s latest film

Jake Winningham | Wednesday, April 1, 2020

Does life imitate art, or is it the other way around? This question is at the heart of “Portrait of a Lady on Fire,” a masterful new film from French auteur Céline Sciamma that was released last year on the international festival circuit and is now appearing exclusively on Hulu. Distributor NEON has taken to

‘Sex Education:’ Bildungsroman for a sex-positive generation

Nora McGreevy | Tuesday, March 19, 2019

Otis Milburn, the high school-aged protagonist of the new British Netflix series “Sex Education,” dreads having new friends over to his house. It’s hard to blame the kid.

The latest tragicomedy from the controversial Greek auteur is one of those “based on a true story” films that seemed to have kept only the names of its subjects and

Pornography: it’s time to talk about it

Campus Ministry | Monday, October 8, 2018

“Can I ask you a very direct question? Do you struggle with using pornography?” In my role in Campus Ministry, I have asked this question several times over the past year. Each time I asked, the respondent simply said “yeah.” I ask not to shame or guilt the responder, but to bring out into the

Signs left un-signified: semiotics, sexuality and the love song

Mike Donovan | Wednesday, April 4, 2018

“I wanna make something like that,” Evan Stephens Hall of Pinegrove tells Pitchfork, referencing The Sound and the Fury, Ulysses and The Crying of Lot 49 “— a love album about semiotics, or a semiotics album about love.” Harmless, it seems. His “&” EP investigates a lone character, the ampersand, dissecting its implications tentatively. Its

Talking about sex in light of Catholic teaching

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, October 6, 2016

It seems to me that every campus conversation about sex right now is centered around one thing: consent. For most of the country, it seems that consent has become the minimal standard for the morality of sexual activity … but shouldn’t we expect more of Notre Dame? What if sex was about more than just
