Download or read book A New Kind of Public written by Graham Cassano and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1936, director John Ford claimed to be making movies for “a new kind of public” that wanted more honest pictures. Graham Cassano’s A New Kind of Public: Community, solidarity, and political economy in New Deal cinema, 1935-1948 argues that this new kind of public was forged in the fires of class struggle and economic calamity. Those struggles appeared in Hollywood productions, as the movies themselves tried to explain the causes and consequence of the Great Depression. Using the tools of critical Marxism and cultural theory, Cassano surveys Hollywood’s political economic explanations and finds a field of symbolic struggle in which radical visions of solidarity and conflict competed with the dominant class ideology for the loyalty of this new audience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SHE VOWED TO RESIST HIS CHARM When Kathlyn McKinney saw Brad Hampton, her heart immediately began to race. Eleven years after that fateful summer, he was as dashingly handsome as ever -- but this time she wouldn't be taken in by him. Desire had made her reckless once long ago, but she was no longer an innocent girl who could be fooled by a Southern gentleman's easy charm. Still, not even the bitterness of his betrayal could extinguish Kathlyn's memory of the sweet rapture she'd known with Brad. And she couldn't ignore her own treacherous yearning for the warmth of his strong embrace and the tender magic of his kiss. . . HE VOWED TO CLAIM HER LOVE When Brad saw Kathlyn again, he found that the years had erased neither his pain at her faithlessness nor his need to make her his own. Honor required that he now help the violet-eyed beauty who had been left alone and defenseless by the war. Yet how could he protect her if she refused to trust him? With the urgency of long simmering passion, Brad swore no one would harm his lovely Southern belle. He had to keep her safe, at least until he could tempt her into offering him the fiery kisses and caresses he well remembered and surrendering with him to the ecstasy of desires too long denied!

Download or read book The Epistemology of Desire and the Problem of Nihilism written by Allan Hazlett and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-25 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people have wondered whether anything really matters, some have temporarily thought that nothing really matters, and some philosophers have defended the view that nothing really matters. However, if someone thinks that nothing matters--if they are a "nihilist about value"--then it seems that it is irrational for them to care about anything. It seems that nihilism about value mandates total indifference. This is the "problem of nihilism" Allan Hazlett addresses in The Epistemology of Desire and the Problem of Nihilism. Hazlett argues that the problem of nihilism arises because desire--and thus caring--is a species of evaluation that admits of irrationality. This contradicts the influential Humean view that desire does not admit of irrationality, which has a ready solution to the problem of nihilism: since desire does not admit of irrationality, it cannot be irrational to care about something that you believe does not matter. However, following G.E. Anscombe, Hazlett argues that desire has the same relationship to goodness as belief has to truth: just as truth is the accuracy condition for belief, goodness is the accuracy condition for desire. This reveals desire as an appropriate target of epistemological inquiry, in the same way that belief is an appropriate target of epistemological inquiry. Desires can amount to knowledge (in the same way that beliefs can amount to knowledge) and, crucially for the problem of nihilism, desire admits of irrationality (in the same way that belief admits of irrationality). Nevertheless, although it is obviously irrational to believe something that you believe is not true, Hazlett argues that it is not irrational to desire something you believe is not good, despite the fact that goodness is the accuracy condition for desire. This provides a solution to the problem of nihilism, and shows that nihilism about value can coherently be combined with the anti-Humean view that desire is a species of evaluation.
Download or read book Learning Desire written by Sharon Todd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What role can desire play in pedagogical interaction? In Learning Desire , contributors from the fields of education, cultural studies, psychoanalysis and literary theory explore the many ways desire intersects with knowledge, recognition, fantasy, and embodiment, and what this can mean for transformative pedagogical practice. While acknowledging the productive and destructive force desire can have on the learning experience, the authors offer engaging, innovative modes of thinking about teaching and thinking about desire as an education tool. This volume, rooted in theory, is one also geared towards practice; in taking a fresh look at the limits and possibilities of a transformative pedagogy, it will also give teachers and students new languages for articulating their experiences in the classroom and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abbot Christopher Jamison from hit TV series THE MONASTERY, turns his attention to the eternal questions of how to be happy, and why we believe it is so important.
