DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an in-person screening and informal discussi
 on of the Archaeology Hour talk by Alison Futrell (University of Arizona).
 \n\n \n\nIn ancient-Roman ‘arenas’ — structures and spaces like the 
 Colosseum in Rome — mass events were staged that exaggerated\, aesthetic
 ized\, and then normalized extreme and shocking forms of violence\, deploy
 ing a twisted\, voyeuristic ‘pleasure’ intended to be derived from unr
 eal genres of amplified bloodshed and death reserved *only* for those pres
 ented as variously criminal\, exotic/strange\, non-human and/or lesser-hum
 an… and fully disposable. This presentation will ask: how did the arena 
 impact the lives of ordinary individuals… in the sands\, the seats\, and
  the substructures\, beyond the emperor’s box?
