Download or read book Eulogy for a Ghost and Other Somber Incidents written by Frances Webb and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2021-04-16 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eulogy for a Ghost and Other Somber Incidents features short stories about family life and social relationships, as well as the social conventions that give structure to those relationships. But in these stories, those conventions also function as a veneer to cover over violent impulses, impulses kept in check to some degree by those same conventions and caring relationships. Each of these stories alludes, in some way, to the antisocial impulses that can disrupt the safety and care of loving interactions. In the short story “Eulogy for a Ghost,” Don is convinced that the gun his brother just used to kill himself is an antique. He wants the police to give him the gun because he believes “Antique Road Show” would find it valuable. His wife says that even if the gun is valuable, the police wouldn’t release it to him because they need it for evidence. Plus, he needs to practice what he’s going to say at his brother’s funeral service that afternoon. Don doesn’t listen to his wife and goes to the police station to get the gun back. They refuse and an argument escalates until he hits one of the police officers and is arrested. After his bail is posted, and he finishes delivering his rambling statement in the church, Don believes he sees his dead brother coming up the aisle.

Download or read book Murder City written by Charles Bowden and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2010-03-30 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ciudad Juarez lies just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas. A once-thriving border town, it now resembles a failed state. Infamously known as the place where women disappear, its murder rate exceeds that of Baghdad. In Murder City, Charles Bowden-one of the few journalists who spent extended periods of time in Juarez-has written an extraordinary account of what happens when a city disintegrates. Interweaving stories of its inhabitants-a beauty queen who was raped, a repentant hitman, a journalist fleeing for his life-with a broader meditation on the town's descent into anarchy, Bowden reveals how Juarez's culture of violence will not only worsen, but inevitably spread north. Heartbreaking, disturbing, and unforgettable, Murder City was written at the height of his powers and established Bowden as one of America's leading journalists.

Download or read book A Decolonizing Ear written by Olivia Landry and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-10-03 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recording of Indigenous voices is one of the most well-known methods of colonial ethnography. In A Decolonizing Ear, Olivia Landry offers a sceptical account of listening as a highly mediated and extractive act, influenced by technology and ideology. Returning to early ethnographic practices of voice recording and archiving at the turn of the twentieth century, with a particular focus on the German paradigm, she reveals the entanglement of listening in the logic of Euro-American empire and the ways in which contemporary films can destabilize the history of colonial sound reproduction. Landry provides close readings of several disparate documentary films from the late 1990s and the early 2000s. The book pays attention to technology and knowledge production to examine how these films employ recordings plucked from different colonial sound archives and disrupt their purposes. Drawing on film and documentary studies, sound studies, German studies, archival studies, postcolonial studies, and media history, A Decolonizing Ear develops a method of decolonizing listening from the insights provided by the films themselves.
