Download or read book Postmodern Vampires written by Sorcha Ní Fhlainn and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postmodern Vampires: Film, Fiction, and Popular Culture is the first major study to focus on American cultural history from the vampire’s point of view. Beginning in 1968, Ní Fhlainn argues that vampires move from the margins to the centre of popular culture as representatives of the anxieties and aspirations of their age. Mapping their literary and screen evolution on to the American Presidency, from Richard Nixon to Donald Trump, this essential critical study chronicles the vampire’s blood-ties to distinct socio-political movements and cultural decades in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Through case studies of key texts, including Interview with the Vampire, The Lost Boys, Blade, Twilight, Let Me In, True Blood and numerous adaptations of Dracula, this book reveals how vampires continue to be exemplary barometers of political and historical change in the American imagination. It is essential reading for scholars and students in Gothic and Horror Studies, Film Studies, and American Studies, and for anyone interested in the articulate undead.
Download or read book Touched by a Vampire written by Beth Felker Jones and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2009-10-06 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examine the Twilight Saga series through a Biblical lens. People around the world are asking the same question, enraptured with Edward and Bella’s forbidden romance in the Twilight Saga, a four-book serial phenomenon written by Stephenie Meyer. The bestsellers tell the story of a regular girl’s relationship with a vampire who has chosen to follow his “good” side. But the Saga isn’t just another fantasy–it’s teaching girls about love, sex, and purpose. With millions of copies sold and several blockbuster films, it is time to ask the important question: Can vampires teach us about God’s plan for love? Touched by a Vampire is the first book to investigate the themes of the Twilight Saga from a Biblical perspective. Some Christian readers have praised moral principles illustrated in the story, such as premarital sexual abstinence, which align with Meyer’s Mormon beliefs. But ultimately, Beth Felker Jones examines whether the story’s redemptive qualities outshine its darkness. Cautionary, thoughtful, and challenging, Touched by a Vampire is written for Twilight fans, parents, teachers, and pop culture enthusiasts. It includes an overview of the series for those unfamiliar with the storyline and a discussion guide for small groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: In the tapestry of existence, where the threads of time wove a complex dance, emerged a figure unlike any other — Xander, the multi-dimensional time traveler. His presence was a whisper in the cosmic winds, a shimmer in the fabric of reality, for he had mastered the ancient and elusive art of pausing time. Millennia unfurled like the pages of an eternal book as Xander delved into the mysteries of existence. His quest for knowledge led him to celestial beings, guardians of realms beyond mortal comprehension. Amongst the ethereal, he learned the intricacies of temporal manipulation, threading through the frozen moments of existence with an otherworldly grace. Among the celestial beings, Xander sought out masters in the enigmatic frozen reality that only a chosen few could navigate. Master Bruce Lee, a legend in the martial arts, became the guide to physical and mental prowess. Under the tutelage of Bruce Lee, Xander harnessed the energy that resonated within his very being. Master Buddha, serene and enlightened, imparted timeless wisdom transcending the boundaries of time itself. Xander learned to find balance amidst the chaos, drawing from the well of inner peace that Buddha revealed. In the shadow of ancient mountains, Master Po, the Dragon Warrior, bestowed upon Xander the secrets of combat and the essence of courage. Po, with a touch of humor and the wisdom of ages, became a beacon in the frozen tapestry of Xander's existence. Little did Xander know that his journey through the epochs had silent witnesses — the "Vampires of Light." Immortal beings, devoted to preserving the delicate balance of existence, they observed Xander's mastery from the celestial shadows. Their radiant glow concealed eons of wisdom, and their purpose was as mysterious as the dimensions through which Xander traversed. As the cosmic clock ticked in the silent corridors of eternity, Xander stood at the crossroads of time, a weaver of moments, a seeker of balance. The celestial beings, the legendary masters, and the silent observers prepared to play their parts in the unfolding epic that spanned the ages. The stage was set, and Xander, the time traveler, prepared to unravel the secrets of the boundless tapestry that lay before him.

Download or read book Border Witness written by Michael Dear and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What a century of border films teaches about the real and imagined worlds of the US-Mexico borderlands—and how this understanding helps build better relations across boundaries. Border Witness is an account of cultural collision and fusion between Mexico and the United States, as seen on the ground and in films from the past hundred years. Blending film studies with political and cultural geography, Michael Dear investigates the making of cross-border identity and community in the territories between two nations. Border Witness introduces a new "border film" genre just now entering its golden age. A geographer and activist, Dear adopts an accessible and engaged perspective, combining the stories told by these films with insights drawn from his own decades-long research and travel. From early silent films to virtual reality, and from revolution to the present global crisis, border films provide fresh evidence for real and imagined politics and for envisioning future transborder architectures carved from in-between spaces. In an era of global geopolitics that favors walls and war over diplomacy, Dear's insights have relevance for borders around the world.
