Download or read book Celebrations written by William M. Johnston and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twentieth century, celebrations of historical anniversaries abounded. There was the bicentennial of the French Revolution, the 150th anniversary of photography, Bach's 300th anniversary, and the 200th anniversary of the American Constitution, to name just a few. Every year hundreds of anniversaries still attract media attention and government investment in ever greater degrees. Deploying an astonishing array of insights, Celebrations explores the causes and consequences of this major phenomenon of our time. As Johnston shows, anniversaries fulfill a number of needs. They provide the kind of experience of regularity across a lifetime that the weekly cycle supplies in daily life. The use of anniversaries for political ends emerged during the French Revolution and expanded to promote nationalism during the nineteenth century, although there are differences in how they are used. Europeans tend to celebrate cultural heroes, while Americans tend to celebrate events. Entire nations exploit anniversaries of founding events in order to promote national identity. Commercially, there are whole industries built around commemoration, and they provide intellectuals an opportunity to take center stage. Using methods of cultural history, sociology, and religious studies, Johnston shows how the cult of anniversaries reflects postmodern concerns. It fills a void left by the disappearance of ideologies and avant-gardes. In an era when there is little consensus about styles or methods, anniversaries allow intellectuals, businesses, and governments to acknowledge and celebrate every nuance of opinion. By suggesting ways to use anniversaries more creatively, this book offers a broad range of insights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Archangel Michael spoke. “Let us,” he said, “gather together with our Dear Brethren...and share...with Humanity.” And so they came: the Archangel Gabriel, the Archangel Raphael and sharing the fourth place, the Archangels Uriel and Metatron, each of them sharing their views on such topics as Deserving, Celebration, Forgiveness, Uniqueness, Acceptance and more. Archangel Gabriel generally used the Element of Air or Mind as his viewpoint; he addresses Forgiveness as “A Factor of the Mind;” through the Element of Water or Emotion, the Archangel Raphael spoke on “Healing Through Celebration.” The Archangel Uriel oft en chose the Element of Fire/Inspiration such as when he conversed on “The Soul’s Courage” while Metatron draws on the Element of Earth or Practicality with “The Gestati on of Peace” during the Commencement talk. The Archangel Michael encourages Acceptance by beginning “With the Love of Archangel Michael” The Love and inspiration of these High Bright Beings brings encouragement, upliftment and a-ha moments for each of you. Kind Words from Purchasers: "I started reading your book and have cried already, cried out of joy and at the sadness that I feel ... a sadness that I have missed out on the love that has been waiting for me for so very long. That the Angels have been there with a wealth of knowledge and love and it over joys me... I cannot wait to continue on this journey wherever it is taking me. I just want to say that your book is a book that makes a person want to buy it for others because there is no way you will want to lend it !! I lend a lot of my books after reading, but this will not be one I can even fathom lending at this time, it is much too precious a resource." - CC, Edmonton, Canada

Download or read book Cultures and Globalization written by Helmut K Anheier and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2008-09-17 with total page 689 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world′s cultures and their forms of creation, presentation and preservation are deeply affected by globalization in ways that are inadequately documented and understood. The Cultures and Globalization series is designed to fill this void in our knowledge. In this series, leading experts and emerging scholars track cultural trends connected to globalization throughout the world, resulting in a powerful analytic tool-kit that encompasses the transnational flows and scapes of contemporary cultures. Each volume presents data on cultural phenomena through colourful, innovative information graphics to give a quantitative portrait of the cultural dimensions and contours of globalization. This second volume The Cultural Economy analyses the dynamic relationship in which culture is part of the process of economic change that in turn changes the conditions of culture. It brings together perspectives from different disciplines to examine such critical issues as: • the production of cultural goods and services and the patterns of economic globalization • the relationship between the commodification of the cultural economy and the aesthetic realm • current and emerging organizational forms for the investment, production, distribution and consumption of cultural goods and services • the complex relations between creators, producers, distributors and consumers of culture • the policy implications of a globalizing cultural economy By demonstrating empirically how the cultural industries interact with globalization, this volume will provide students of contemporary culture with a unique, indispensable reference tool.
