Answers to FE:XXXVIII
1 Paulo Freire 2 Baha'ullah (as in Baha'i) 3 (William) Harrison Dillard 4 Aussie Rules 5 Candida Höfer 6 The Crowd 7 Henri Matisse 8 Seijun Suzuki 9 Jürgen Habermas 10 Ben Johnson 11 Bob Hayes or Robert Lee ("Bullet Bob") Hayes 12 Henrik Plenge Jakobsen 13 Nan Goldin 14 The Divine Light Mission 15 Arthur O. Lovejoy or Arthur Oncken Lovejoy
Unspeakable bonus: I read that it was the morbid desire to watch, which was palatable. Then I looked up a proper definition, which states that it is "a sexual dependency on openly observing sex organs and sexual acts, as opposed to voyeurism which is secret". Which is like, ewwww. I much preferred the former explanation. The latter definition is just plain sex mad.
