Download or read book Diva Nation written by Laura Miller and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2018-06-08 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diva Nation explores the constructed nature of female iconicity in Japan. From ancient goddesses and queens to modern singers and writers, this edited volume critically reconsiders the female icon, tracing how she has been offered up for emulation, debate or censure. The research in this book culminates from curiosity over the insistent presence of Japanese female figures who have refused to sit quietly on the sidelines of history. The contributors move beyond archival portraits to consider historically and culturally informed diva imagery and diva lore. The diva is ripe for expansion, fantasy, eroticization, and playful reinvention, while simultaneously presenting a challenge to patriarchal culture. Diva Nation asks how the diva disrupts or bolsters ideas about nationhood, morality, and aesthetics.

Fame, drama, love, sex, romance, passion, lust, heartache, and work consume their lives. They learn that their dream-life is nothing without love, so they jump through hoops trying to find the right man. Superstar singer Rita James and fashion mogul Diana Vise search the ends of the earth trying to find love. Through all of the heartache and disappoint they refuse to give up. As they chase their dreams and enjoy their extravagant lives, they realize that money and fame cannot fill the void in their heart. Rita appears on the Raven Style's show. Raven has many questions for Rita, so she tries to ask as many as she can. "Rita James, there is so much to talk about and so many questions I want to ask you." Raven said. "Go ahead, I'm not scared." Rita replied. "Who was this man that you were seen with on the beach?" Raven asked. "He is a special person to me. I won't say his due, out of respect for him." Rita replied. "I thought you were engaged to Tony?" Raven asked. "It's a long story. I'll tell you another day when I have the time." Rita replied. "You must stay busy juggling two men and a huge career. How do the two men feel about each other?" Raven asked. "They have never met. It was as if I had to choose between them and I could not. I came to a fork in the road and went straight. My heart was pulled in two different directions. When you are addicted to love, situations like these will drive you mad. My thoughts are spinning like lottery balls; I don't even know what my decision will be." Rita replied. "How do you maintain in your soap opera life?" Raven asked. "Shopping, sandy beaches, a lot of sunshine and my sister help me through the emotional storm. My sister supports me through the toughest times." Rita replied. "Do you ever think about seeing a psychologist?" Raven asked. "Do you think I'm crazy?" Rita asked. "No, I never said anything like that. I saw what you did to Carla May. I don't want any trouble." Raven replied. "I'm not crazy. I am just a woman who likes to stand out from the rest. I do what I want, when I want, and I dare someone to try to stop me. I only have one life to live and I am going to live it to the fullest. And if you think that I will run and hide, because I'm worried about what people think of me, then you are the one that's crazy." Rita replied. "People have said a lot of bad things about you over the years. Do you want to defend yourself?" Raven asked. "I'm not going to waste my time worrying about how other people feel. I am busy living my life and having so much fun. Life is too short for me to waste time trying to impress other people. My main concern is making myself happy. Fuck how they feel. If you think they hate me now, I'm going to give them a reason to really hate me." Rita replied. "What do you have planned?" Raven asked. "I don't plan anything. I am the queen of soul, the queen of drama, and love. I do what I want when I want." Rita replied.
Download or read book Writing the Black Revolutionary Diva written by Kimberly Nichele Brown and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-09 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kimberly Nichele Brown examines how African American women since the 1970s have found ways to move beyond the "double consciousness" of the colonized text to develop a healthy subjectivity that attempts to disassociate black subjectivity from its connection to white culture. Brown traces the emergence of this new consciousness from its roots in the Black Aesthetic Movement through important milestones such as the anthology The Black Woman and Essence magazine to the writings of Angela Davis, Toni Cade Bambara, and Jayne Cortez.
Download or read book Terrence McNally written by Toby Silverman Zinman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays and interviews is the first book about the drama of American playwright Terrence McNally; it examines his career to date (30-plus years), focusing particularly on the two plays for which McNally won Tony Awards for Best Play of 1995, Love! Valour! Compassion!, and Best Play of 1996, Master Class. Toby Zinman, a distinguished scholar and critic, has invited none respected authorities to write about McNally's work, and has included records of the long conversations she had with the playwright about his work, his love of opera, his ideas about acting and education, and life in general. Also included are two interviews she conducted with two of his leading actors: one with the legendary Zoe Caldwell, who played the even more legendary Maria Callas in Master Class, a performance that earned her the Tony Award for Best Actress in 1996, a role McNally wrote for her, and another with the great American comic actor, Nathan Lane, whom McNally considers his foremost interpreter. The collection moves chronologically, beginning with Howard Stein's essay on the promise of the plays of the first decade, through to Cary Mazer's essay on the diva in Master Class, a play about Maria Callas' master classes at Juilliard; that essay is preceded by an essay on those famous master classes by John Ardoin, the world's foremost authority on Maria Callas. In between there are two essays debating McNally's position as a gay playwright, one by John Clum and one by Steven Drukman, both centering on the firestorm of controversy generated by Love! Valour! Compassion! In addition, there is an essay on The Lisbon Traviata by Sam Abel which discusses the play's much-revised conclusion (to murder or not to murder) and another on McNally's screenplays of Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, and The Ritz, by Helen Buttel, a film critic. This is followed by Stephen Watt's examination of McNally as a postmodernist, using Lips Together, Teeth Apart as his focus, and Benilde Montgomery's essay on Indian myth as it informs McNally's play (soon to be a film) A Perfect Ganesh The volume also includes in its introduction the latest information on McNally's newest projects, an extensive bibliography, and a chronology of the playwright's career.
Download or read book Triangulated Visions written by Ingeborg Majer O'Sickey and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1998-04-09 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illuminates some of the challenges feminist German filmmakers face and offers original insights into their filmmaking practices. It considers the intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, class, and sexuality as these are cinematically represented, and discusses narrative, documentary, "art," and essay films from both West and East Germany before and after unification. Several essays treat films by well-known filmmakers, including R.W. Fassbinder, Jutta Brückner, Ulrike Ottinger, Helke Sander, Helma Sanders-Brahms, Monika Treut, and Wim Wenders in ways that challenge the limits of major critical approaches in feminist film criticism today. Importantly, Triangulated Visions also offers suggestive and original analyses of works by filmmakers who, until now, have not received much scholarly treatment.
