“King Kong & Anthropology: An 80th Anniversary Celebration of the Classic Film” will be presented by Dr. H. James Birx, Professor of Anthropology, at the next Arts & Sciences Colloquium on Thursday, October 31 at 3:30 p.m. in the Student Center Regis South.
Beyond its obvious “beauty-and-the-beast” theme, the classic film “King Kong” (1933) is rich in contrasts, stereotypes and symbolism. Freudian psychology and Darwinian evolution pervade this unique movie about a huge gorilla that thrives with dinosaurs in a primeval jungle, but meets his demise while trying to overcome the technology of modern civilization. Now, 80 years after its premiere, one is still impressed with this meticulously-made motion picture masterpiece.
This event welcomes all faculty and staff.

With our ongoing emphasis towards improving our campus room reservation system, R25 (resource 25) will be off line on October 31. A necessary migration of information will render the system inaccessible. Please plan appropriately as reservations cannot be requested or reviewed during this period.
Thank you for your patience during this process.
