Download or read book Patricia Highsmith s Diaries and Notebooks The New York Years 1941 1950 written by Patricia Highsmith and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-10 with total page 796 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential for understanding Patricia Highsmith’s transgressive life and prophetic work, this volume is also “one of the most observant and ecstatic accounts . . . about being young and alive in New York City” (Dwight Garner,—New York Times). Before Alfred Hitchcock adapted her debut novel, Strangers on a Train, for the big screen; before her suave and sociopathic Thomas Ripley snaked his way into the canon of psychological suspense; and before The Price of Salt became a cult classic of romantic obsession, who was Patricia Highsmith? Focused on her formative years in Manhattan, this condensed edition of Highsmith’s monumental Diaries and Notebooks reveals “Pat” at her most passionate and florescent. Beginning in 1941 at Barnard College and encompassing the Texas native’s adventurous twenties,?The New York Years intertwines scenes from her dizzying social life—rife with sleepless nights barhopping in the queer underground Greenwich Village scene, always juggling too many lovers—with an intimate self-portrait of a young artist who by day dispassionately wrote comics for a paycheck. Amid all the hangovers and the breakups, she read voraciously and honed her craft with verve. Laid bare in this perennial reader’s edition are the bold, hilarious, romantic, tragic, and maddeningly contradictory observations of one of “our greatest modernist writers” (Gore Vidal).

Download or read book The Cool and the Crazy written by Peter Stanfield and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-08 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explosive! Amazing! Terrifying! You won’t believe your eyes! Such movie taglines were common in the 1950s, as Hollywood churned out a variety of low-budget pictures that were sold on the basis of their sensational content and topicality. While a few of these movies have since become canonized by film fans and critics, a number of the era’s biggest fads have now faded into obscurity. The Cool and the Crazy examines seven of these film cycles, including short-lived trends like boxing movies, war pictures, and social problem films detailing the sordid and violent life of teenagers, as well as uniquely 1950s takes on established genres like the gangster picture. Peter Stanfield reveals how Hollywood sought to capitalize upon current events, moral panics, and popular fads, making movies that were “ripped from the headlines” on everything from the Korean War to rock and roll. As he offers careful readings of several key films, he also considers the broader historical and commercial contexts in which these films were produced, marketed, and exhibited. In the process, Stanfield uncovers surprising synergies between Hollywood and other arenas of popular culture, like the ways that the fashion trend for blue jeans influenced the 1950s Western. Delivering sharp critical insights in jazzy, accessible prose, The Cool and the Crazy offers an appreciation of cinema as a “pop” medium, unabashedly derivative, faddish, and ephemeral. By studying these long-burst bubbles of 1950s “pop,” Stanfield reveals something new about what films do and the pleasures they provide.

Download or read book Mircea Eliade s Journalistic Writings written by Mihaela-Diana Lupșan and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-02 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an original way of articulating a discussion of Mircea Eliade’s journalism, a lesser-known chapter in the literary biography of the celebrated philosopher of religion. As it shows, Eliade’s articles serve as the starting point of interesting comments regarding the movement of ideas in the interwar era, historical and cultural contexts, Romania’s cultural life and its relation to European modernism, the dramatic destiny of Mircea Eliade and his generational colleagues under the pressure of a succession of totalitarian regimes, the post-war Romanian diaspora, and the reception of Eliade in Romania and abroad. It shows how Eliade’s approach to culture is subject to a phenomenological variation, examining it from a range of perspectives.

Download or read book Elizabeth Bishop s Poetics of Intimacy written by Victoria Harrison and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993-01-29 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Bishop's Poetics of Intimacy, a biographical and critical study of one of the great poets of this century, offers a fresh look at Bishop's published and unpublished writing over the course of her career. Informed by pragmatic, post-modern, and feminist theories, Victoria Harrison's study also makes extensive use of Bishop's archives, many pieces of which have never been discussed, to reveal the process of the poet's writing. Harrison explores Bishop's childhood memoirs, journals, letters, Brazilian travel prose, unfinished poems, and draft material, researching dates of undated material and reproducing Bishop's revisions, cancellations, and idiosyncratic spellings. Attentiveness to the detail of this archival writing gives Harrison a broad foundation for arguing that Bishop treats some of our largest concerns - family relationships, sexuality, war, and cultural differences - within poetry and prose that are intimate but not self-revelatory and daily but never ordinary. Elizabeth Bishop charges the moments of her writing with the desires, fears, and passions of her life.

Download or read book Constructing the Memory of War in Visual Culture since 1914 written by Ann Murray and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection provides a transnational, interdisciplinary perspective on artistic responses to war from 1914 to the present, analysing a broad selection of the rich, complex body of work which has emerged in response to conflicts since the Great War. Many of the creators examined here embody the human experience of war: first-hand witnesses who developed a unique visual language in direct response to their role as victim, soldier, refugee, resister, prisoner and embedded or official artist. Contributors address specific issues relating to propaganda, wartime femininity and masculinity, women as war artists, trauma, the role of art in soldiery, memory, art as resistance, identity and the memorialisation of war.
