PARIS.- The mask is the ultimate anti-object. Semiologists would use the term deictic to describe it — the gesture of a finger pointing over there, somewhere else. Whether it belongs to a Greek tragedy performer, to a member of the Anonymous collective, to an immunocompromised citizen or to a Snapchat user, the mask designates something else than itself, and in so doing it also distinguishes iconophiles from iconoclasts. So, there are two options: will you believe what is represented on its illusionist surface, or will you try to take a peek behind the scenes, even if that means being at risk of succumbing to paranoia? Heads or tails, image or object: perhaps the impasse is due to wanting to stick too closely to the lost origin, to mourning some naked face.

Lucid dreaming has a long and ornate pop cultural history, with Christopher Nolan’s film Inception representing something of apex for depictions of it on screen. (There’s also a generation that was scarred by the snakeman in 1984’s Dreamscape, which remains — appropriately enough — the stuff of nightmares.) But lucid dreaming isn’t just about bending cityscapes and Tom Hardy showing up with a wisecrack. Instead, there’s a growing body of evidence that suggests that it can have real benefits in one’s waking life as well.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — In the sun-baked ruins of an ancient Syrian city, a revolutionary discovery is rewriting the story of early Christianity. For nearly a century, scholars have pointed to a modest structure in Dura-Europos as the prototype of Christian architecture – a simple house transformed into a place of worship. But now, this cornerstone of religious history is crumbling under the weight of new evidence.

[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.].

Alexis Manenti takes you on the run in this compelling drama about a farmer who becomes a folk hero when he becomes a fugitive. A beach doesn’t only provide a nice backdrop for a foot chase early in “The Mohican,” but becomes an unusually poignant piece of scenery when all the tourists Joseph (Alexis Manenti) has to dodge unwittingly pose as much of a threat to him as the local mafioso chasing him, hunting him down to sign over the land his goat farm sits on in a provincial part of Italy that’s proximity to the coast is suddenly making it appealing to developers. A balding, burly man who is younger than most farmers in the region after carrying on the family tradition from his father, but still not well-conditioned to take on the developers’ aggressive tactics, Joseph makes for a strong representative in any number of respects for those attempting to protect the region’s agricultural roots, resisting calls to sell the property, but in well over his head when things turn violent.
