Replaying Assassins' Creed 3

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2022/11/08

Assassin's Creed 3 was nobody's favorite game in the series. After immense hype and promise, the game released to critical and popular indifference. In this sustained blast of hot air, Professor Kozlowski will re-examine this game to discern why it failed, as well as assess whether or not it should be re-evaluated with the advantage of time and distance. Is this game rightfully-overlooked, a gem awaiting rediscovery, or something else altogether? If you have questions or topic suggestions for

The Illustrated Man 2

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2022/11/08

Professor Kozlowski continues his fool's errand of discussing many unrelated Bradbury short stories, including the ominous and horrifying "The City", the high-spirited and troubling "The Concrete Mixer", and "The Rocket" - Bradbury's feel-good capstone to the Illustrated Man collection, which may reveal his optimistic solution to the otherwise-downbeat entries throughout.

The Illustrated Man 1

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2022/11/02

Professor Kozlowski attempts a new feat: talking coherently about nine different Bradbury short stories with different themes, settings, and tones. Fortunately this includes some old favorites, like "The Veldt", "The Long Rain", and "The Fire Balloons."

Fahrenheit 451 - 2

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2022/10/18

Professor Kozlowski turns his attention to the second half of Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 to discuss the value of literature, the dire consequences of Bradbury's dystopia, and the grim fatalism of the book's conclusion and message.

Replaying Assassins' Creed: The Ezio Sequels

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2022/10/11

The legacy of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed: Revelations is that of cash-grab sequels capitalizing on Assassin's Creed 2's success. In this largely aimless diatribe, Professor Kozlowski re-evaluates that legacy, examining the conflicting priorities between Ubisoft's corporate agenda and the artistic aspirations of the series.

Fahrenheit 451 - 1

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2022/10/11

Professor Kozlowski explores the characters and world of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 as it appears in the first half of the book - and discusses at some length the fears and characteristics we share with that world today.

The Martian Chronicles 2

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2022/09/21

The second half of Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles is messy, uneven, and occasionally changed from edition to edition. In this lecture, Professor Kozlowski examines each of the stories in the collection individually in an attempt to appreciate the value of each one, both in isolation, and in the context of the collection.

The Martian Chronicles 1

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2022/09/13

Professor Kozlowski discusses the first half of Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles, examining how Bradbury deconstructs the typical adventure-to-another-planet story, how he presents the dying Martian civilization as a mirror to our own, and how Bradbury navigates the complicated issues of colonization, imperialism, and human ambition.

Replaying Assassins' Creed II

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2022/09/13

Assassins' Creed II was widely hailed as a dramatic improvement over the first game, fixing many of its faults and delivering an overall better gameplay experience. But Professor Kozlowski's take is not quite so optimistic.

Why Ray Bradbury?

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2022/08/30

Professor Kozlowski introduces his Fall 2022 reading project: working through the books of Ray Bradbury! But why this writer, these books, this genre? Bradbury is largely overlooked by academic criticism and scholarship, and his reputation is a mixed one. But you will rarely find a writer more passionate and enthusiastic.

Homer Through the Middle Ages

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2022/07/30

Professor Kozlowski examines the reception of Homer through the Middle Ages: in the Byzantine Empire, in the Islamicate World, and in Medieval Europe. Along the way he'll discuss Christianity's difficult relationship with pagan philosophy and literature, Eurocentrism, badass Muslim achievements like rhyming poetry, and tricks for establishing your noble heritage for fun and profit. Come for the Christian Fathers, stay for the Islamic Exceptionalism. If you have questions or topic suggestions for

Aeneid 2, 4, 6

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2022/07/29

Professor Kozlowski reluctantly addresses the epic poem regarded by the Medievals and Renaissance writers as the greatest ever written - Virgil's Aeneid. Does Virgil deserve this legacy, or is the poem merely a work of Roman self-justifying propaganda?

Rome vs. Homer

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2022/07/28

Professor Kozlowski examines the complicated relationship between Rome and Homer, from Rome's origins as a melting pot of cultures defined and informed by Homeric epic, to insatiable need to distance itself from Greek culture, to the transforming ascendancy of Christianity in Rome's last days.

The Trojan Women

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2022/07/28

Enough of this history nonsense. Professor Kozlowski returns to form with a deep-dive examination of Euripides' The Trojan Women, looking especially at the way Euripides uses (and abuses) Homeric form, theme, and content to make a compelling political argument preventing the greatest political and military catastrophe in the history of Athens. Spoiler alert: it doesn't work. CW: Discussion of rape and trauma in the fallout of Troy's destruction, plus generally depressing material throughout If you

Classical Greece

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2022/07/27

Professor Kozlowski finally reaches the Classical Age of Greece, lightly sketching the role of Homer's epics in the development of Greek culture, including the self-identity of city-states like Athens and Sparta, the literary indebtedness of the Tragedy to the Epic, the reactions of Greek philosophers to Homeric teaching, and the development of myth into history.

The Achaeans from the Cycladics to Homer

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2022/07/23

Professor Kozlowski contextualizes the writings of Homer according to the archaeological and historical evidence of the Greek culture from its earliest origins in the Cycladic, Minoan, and Mycenaean cultures, through the Bronze Age Collapse and subsequent Dark Age, to the very beginning of the Classical era. Along the way we'll examine what Homer got right about the Bronze Age, what he imported from the Iron Age, and what that might mean about his sources, the tradition of Greek Epic, and his own

Troy: From Wilusa to Hisarlik

Professor Kozlowski Lectures ·

2022/07/21

Professor Kozlowski lightly examines the archaeological excavations in Hisarlik, considered by the academic community to be the most likely site of Ancient Troy, in order to discuss how much of Homer's Iliad is based in reality, and how much of it is purely myth. CORRECTION: The Mask of Agamemnon was found at Schliemann's excavation of MYCENAE - NOT HISARLIK If you have questions or topic suggestions for Professor Kozlowski, e-mail him at profbkozlowski2@gmail.com To see what else Professor

2022/07/14

Professor Kozlowski follows the narrated adventures of Odysseus through the first three books of his four-book narration. Highlights include cannibal cyclopes, bad crew behavior, drugs, good and bad hosts, good and bad guests, more drugs, dead people, spousal murder, and yet more drugs.
