Download or read book Cinema and Colour written by Paul Coates and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cinema and Colour: The Saturated Image is a major new critical study of the use of colour in cinema. Using the dialectic of colour and monochrome as a starting point, Paul Coates explores the symbolic meanings that colour bears in different cultures, and engages with a range of critical approaches to filmic colour, building on the work of such theorists as Sergei Eisenstein, Rudolf Arnheim and Stanley Cavell. Coates also provides close analyses of films by directors such as Antonioni, Bergman, Godard, Hitchcock, Hou Hsiao-Hsien, Sirk, Kieslowski, Tarkovsky, Von Trier and Zhang Yimou. Coates' focus is on films that deliberately exploit the rich multiplicity of cultural meanings and associations ascribed to colour, including All That Heaven Allows, Deux ou trois choses que je sais d'elle, The Double Life of Véronique, The Flight of the Red Balloon, Red Desert, Schindler's List, Silent Light, Solaris, The Three Colours Trilogy and The Wizard of Oz.

Download or read book The Starved Senses written by Charisse Goodman and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Starved Senses is a powerful and disturbing story from a witness to the worst mass shooting in San Francisco's history: the 101 California Street Massacre. It follows three outsiders across two weeks in the summer of 1993: John, a struggling businessman with a long-simmering grudge; Rachel, a San Francisco legal assistant wandering in solitude; and Emmett, a bullied Bay Area teenager. Although they never meet, they are forever connected by a horrific act of violence, each one driven by an inner starvation and ultimately forced to choose between life and death. Are they failures? Are they insane? Or are they the products of a desperate, soul-consuming culture where meaningful human contact can seem like an impossible dream? In its exploration of the forces that disconnect people from one another, from themselves, and from life itself, The Starved Senses is an indictment of humanity's fatal flaw - the predatory desire for cruelty without consequences. Charisse Goodman is a graduate of California State University. A long-time resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, she is also the author of the 1995 nonfiction book, The Invisible Woman: Confronting Weight Prejudice In America.

Book excerpt: All around the world and throughout history, resistance has played an important role - and it still does. Some strive to raise it to cause change. Some dare not to speak of it. Some try to smother it to keep a status quo. The contributions to this volume explore phenomena of resistance in a range of historical and contemporary environments. In so doing, they not only contribute to shaping a comparative view on subjects, representations, and contexts of resistance, but also open up a theoretical dialogue on terms and concepts of resistance both in and across different disciplines. With contributions by Micha Brumlik, Peter McLaren, and others.

Download or read book A Halfway House for Women written by Gail A. Caputo and published by Northeastern University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although halfway houses have been touted for years as affirmative rehabilitation locations that ready women for life in the outside world, in this remarkable case study Gail Caputo shows how these places reinforce patterns of control and abuse that reaffirm the dependency and victimization of the inmates. Based on observations made while living and working alongside women at a halfway house within the prison system in a city in the Northeast, Caputo's analysis is anchored in the words and experiences of over a dozen women. Organized according to the progression of "levels" residents traverse during their time in the house, and the rules and behaviors associated with each level, Caputo offers a riveting look at what passes for "rehabilitation" and "reintegration" in such places, and delineates the many ways these women retain agency by resisting regulations designed to keep them in their place.
