Skin Deep: Viewing Race,Ethnicity, and Beauty

A Film SeriesTThhuurrssddaayyss •• 77::3300 pp..mm..

Television and movies reflect, but also define,our attitudes toward race, beauty and culturalidentity. The Pasadena Public Library and

One Colorado will offer three evenings of discussionaround this topic that will begin with a film documen-tary, followed by scholar led discussions in a town-forum environment.

October 11 • Question of Identity:What is Race?

Is race a biological or a social construct? In Question of Identity: What is Race?,ABC News examines the question through the experience of Wayne Nelson, a highschool principal who decided to find out just “how much” of him was genetically“African” after seeing a story about DNA ancestry testing.

October 18 • Casting Calls: Hollywood and the Ethnic VillainDoes Hollywood’s portrayal of villains reinforce racial stereotypes or does theindustry give the public what it wants? Casting Calls: Hollywood and the EthnicVillain explores the history of film’s ethnic “bad guy,” looking at sociopolitical andeconomic forces that create, perpetuate, and rehabilitate these characterizations.

October 25 • The Beauty BacklashWith its “Real Beauty” marketing campaign, the Dove brand struck a chord withwomen skeptical of unhealthy or absurd standards of attractiveness. But did thecampaign have the widespread impact Dove intended?
