Download or read book The Persian Gulf TV War written by Douglas Kellner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Douglas Kellner's Persian Gulf TV War attacks the myths, disinformation, and propaganda disseminated during the Gulf war. At once a work of social theory, media criticism, and political history, this book demonstrates how television served as a conduit for George Bush's war policies while silencing anti-war voices and foregoing spirited discussion of the complex issues involved. In so doing, the medium failed to assume its democratic responsibilities of adequately informing the American public and debating issues of common concern. Kellner analyzes the dominant frames through which television presented the war and focuses on the propaganda that sold the war to the public–one of the great media spectacles and public relations campaigns of the post-World War II era. In the spirit of Orwell and Marcuse, Kellner studies the language surrounding the Gulf war and the cynical politics of distortion and disinformation that shaped the mainstream media version of the war, how the Bush administration and Pentagon manipulated the media, and why a majority of the American public accepted the war as just and moral.
Download or read book The Tree Climbing Cure written by Andy Brown and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our relationship with trees is a lengthy, complex one. Since we first walked the earth we have, at various times, worshiped them, felled them and even talked to them. For many of us, though, our first memories of interacting with trees will be of climbing them. Exploring how tree climbers have been represented in literature and art in Europe and North America over the ages, The Tree Climbing Cure unpacks the curative value of tree climbing, examining when and why tree climbers climb, and what tree climbing can do for (and say about) the climber's mental health and wellbeing. Bringing together research into poetry, novels, and paintings with the science of wellbeing and mental health and engaging with myth, folklore, psychology and storytelling, Tree Climber also examines the close relationship between tree climbing and imagination, and questions some longstanding, problematic gendered injunctions about women climbing trees. Discussing, among others, the literary works of Margaret Atwood; Charlotte Bronte; Geoffrey Chaucer; Angela Carter; Kiran Desai; and J.R.R. Tolkien, as well as work by artists such as Peter Doig; Paula Rego; and Goya, this book stands out as an almost encyclopedic examination of cultural representations of this quirky and ultimately restorative pastime.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to learn how to raise an emotional child and deal with tantrums in toddlers? If yes, then keep reading! Discipline helps you to teach and guide your children about positive values and instills positive behaviors. An effective parenting model must use discipline proactively. The objective is to employ proactive tactics that encourage the sense of responsibility in your children, improve self-esteem, and enhance your relationship with your children. This entails setting limits, discerning between good and bad behaviors, discussing values, and using distractions, time-outs, and logical consequences. This book covers: · What It Means to Educate · The Montessori Method · Effects of Montessori Education and Learning · Curriculum · The Montessori Method Today And much more Showing your child the appropriate way to do various chores and behave is extremely important. Use time-outs appropriately. A parent can use time-out to react to dangerous and negative behaviors like hitting, biting, and purposeful destruction. It's good to use time out when he or she concretely knows its meaning, usually at three years. Sit with the child in a place without distractions and try to explain one's mistakes and how to behave well next time. Once the time-out is complete, acknowledge when the child behaves well. Ensure your display of affection for your little one surpasses any punishes or consequences: kisses, hugs, and good-nurtured kinesthetic play are vital in reassuring your child that you love her. Attention and praise will motivate your child to follow the set rules. Instead of overloading your child with laws that may upset him or her, try to emphasize those meant for safety. Assist the child in complying with the rules by childproofing your house and getting rid of certain temptations. Ready to get started? Click “Buy Now”!

Book excerpt: Euphoria and Dystopia: The Banff New Media Institute Dialogues is a compendium of some of the most important thinking about art and technology to have taken place in the last few decades at the international level. Based on the research of the Banff New Media Institute (BNMI) from 1995 to 2005, the book celebrates the belief that the creative sector, artists and cultural industries, in collaboration with scientists, social scientists and humanists, have a critical role to play in developing technologies that work for human betterment and allow for a more participatory culture.

Download or read book From Revolution to Revelation written by Tara Brabazon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Revolution to Revelation offers a new paradigm for Cultural Studies. Tara Brabazon explores our understanding of our own past and the collective past we share with others through popular culture. She investigates Generation X, the ’post-youth’ generation born between 1961 and 1981, and the popular cultural literacies that are the basis of this imagining community. She looks at the ways in which popular culture offers a vehicle for memory, providing the building blocks of identity - the politics and passion of life captured in an unforgettable song, an amazing nightclub, or an unexpected goal in extra time. For a fan, the joy and exhilaration is enough, but it is the task of cultural studies to understand why particular cultural forms survive the passage of time and space. Brabazon argues, with Lawrence Grossberg, that Cultural Studies is ’the Generation X of the academic world’. She tracks its journey away from Marxism and subcultural theory and looks at its future. In particular she explores the possibilities of popular memory studies in reclaiming and repairing the discipline of Cultural Studies - making it as relevant and as revelatory as in its revolutionary past.
Download or read book Helsinki in Early Twentieth Century Literature written by Lieven Ameel and published by Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seura. This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helsinki in Early Twentieth-Century Literature analyses experiences of the Finnish capital in prose fiction published in Finnish in the period 1890–1940. It examines the relationships that are formed between Helsinki and fictional characters, focusing, especially, on the way in which urban public space is experienced. Particular attention is given to the description of movement through urban space. The primary material consists of a selection of more than sixty novels, collections of short stories and individual short stories. This study draws on two sets of theoretical frameworks: on the one hand, the expanding field of literary studies of the city, and on the other hand, concepts provided by humanistic and critical geography, as well as by urban studies. This study is the first monograph to examine Helsinki in literature written in Finnish. It shows that rich descriptions of urban life have formed an integral part of Finnish literature from the late nineteenth century onward.Around the turn of the twentieth century, literary Helsinki was approached from a variety of generic and thematic perspectives which were in close dialogue with international contemporary traditions and age-old images of the city, and defined by events typical of Helsinki’s own history. Helsinki literature of the 1920s and 1930s further developed the defining traits that took form around the turn of the century, adding a number of new thematic and stylistic nuances. The city experience was increasingly aestheticized and internalized. As the centre of the city became less prominent in literature,the margins of the city and specific socially defined neighbourhoods gained in importance. Many of the central characteristics of how Helsinki is experienced in the literature published during this period remain part of the ongoing discourse on literary Helsinki: Helsinki as a city of leisure and light, inviting dreamy wanderings; the experience of a city divided along the fault lines of gender,class and language; the city as a disorientating and paralyzing cesspit of vice;the city as an imago mundi, symbolic of the body politic; the city of everyday and often very mundane experiences, and the city that invites a profound sense of attachment – an environment onto which characters project their innermost sentiments.
Download or read book Salt in the Blood written by Patrick Dixon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-24 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Everything creaks and bends in heavy seas – what will not bend will simply snap. So many times I wondered how much load we could carry in a powerful storm without breaking apart. If we flooded any faster I would drown in seconds.” Patrick Dixon spent years working as a doctor at University College Hospital, while his wife Sheila was a magistrate – high-pressure careers that demanded long hours away from their home, family and passion for sailing. It is a frustrating story many occasional sailors can relate to, but unlike most, Patrick and Sheila realised early enough that they could only bend so far before something snapped, they could only take on so much before they drowned. This is their story of how they made changes (some more challenging than others) that they knows other sailors could make too, regardless of where they are at the moment – how they changed their priorities but managed to sustain a new career that fitted in around life rather than the other way round. It is also the story of their personal journey, both physically (across the Atlantic and to little-visited corners of the Mediterranean) and metaphorically – how a doctor who treated cancer patients coped with a partner facing the same battle. Neither of them wanted to let that flood things either. Through their personal story, with plenty of mishaps that led to insights (both about sailing and life in general), and encounters that turned into opportunities, Patrick and Sheila explore the importance of prioritising the right things in life, and the simple benefits of travel. The book is packed with inspiring but practical advice for all those who have salt in the blood.

This book was released on 2015-01-06 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book of Revelations 831 follows the main character – and author – “Driftwood Neiderman” through his many scandalous, raunchy, and thought-provoking relationships. Each true story concludes with a personal revelation about himself, and his counterpart. Filled with unbelievable true stories, these memoirs are X-rated, entertaining, and certainly engaging, a combination that will keep readers hanging on to the edge of their comfy sofas. Says the author, “The main character of this book is myself, Driftwood Neiderman. Set in present day, I detail the fiascos that I would call my dating life. I do, however, attempt to wrap each dumpster fire of a relationship up in a nice bow at the end.” At one point, he even asks, “What is love?” His answer? “Maybe it's easier to answer this question by examining another question first, what love is not? Love is not monogamy. Love is not perfect. Love is not painless and love is not easy.” Of course, this is not one of the X-rated parts of the book! Revelations is a revelation.
