KIN 249: Lecture 4.2

Lecture Notes

So is baseball traditional or modern? The answer may be that it's a little of both. For your activity this week, you will be watching several clips from a 1989 film called Field of Dreams. I'm hoping that many of you will be familiar with the movie, but even if you're not, you can get the gist of the idea by watching the trailer and a couple of scenes from the film. As you watch and answer your discussion questions for the week, I want you to keep in mind this paradox of the traditional and the modern because the film plays with both aspects of the game, but it primarily focuses on the mythic, nostalgic, and traditional aspects of the game. http://www.hulu.com/watch/12384/field-of-dreams-people-will-come
