Even as me and my amazing students are hurtling ahead with our seminar entitled Naked Mirrors (Gustavo Arellano is in the house next Monday at 4pm at the Little Theatre, SDSU, reading/signing and taking questions about his new book Orange County: A Personal History), I am already looking ahead to next semester [Spring 2009] and my English 493 course on Sex in Film and Literature. A music video by Muse fuses the interests/concerns/desires/obsessions/targets of both classes. Directed by Matt Kirkby, here it is:
