Download or read book Selling Nostalgia written by Mathew Klickstein and published by Permuted Press+ORM. This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A struggling writer journeys through the world of fan conventions, collectible merch and more in this satirical novel—a “searing critique of geek culture” (Washington Post). As with so many members of his generation, down-on-his-luck writer-filmmaker Milton Siegel has an unhealthy fixation on the TV shows, movies, books, music, and celebrities from his childhood that spanned the 1980s and 1990s. Unlike many of his generation, Milt has spent most of his (so-called) life chronicling this same pop culture of his youth. After leaving his job at a regional newspaper, Milt embarks on a quixotic journey across the country to promote his latest project. Along the way, Milt contends with a horde of manic nerds, an inexplicable rash of natural disasters, clickbait-savvy media pundits, ambitious pseudo-celebrities, a seductive stripper, ultra-competitive frenemies, and his own sense of the precarious future while being so embroiled in his childish past.

Download or read book Nostalgia written by Jonathan Buckley and published by Sort of Books. This book was released on 2013-02-07 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The small Tuscan town of Castelluccio is preparing for its annual festival, a spectacular pageant in which a leading role will be taken by the self-exiled English painter Gideon Westfall. A man proudly out of step with modernity, Westfall is regarded by some as a maestro, but in Castelluccio - as in the wider art world - he has his enemies, and his niece - just arrived from England - is no great admirer either. At the same time a local girl is missing, a disappearance that seems to implicate the artist. But the life and art of Gideon Westfall form just one strand of Nostalgia, a novel that teems with incidents and characters, from religious visionaries to folk heroes. Constantly shifting between the panoramic and the intimate, between the past and the present, Nostalgia is as intricately structured as a symphony, interweaving the narratives of history, legend, architecture - and much more - in a kaleidoscope of facts and invention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My book of poetry and photographs explores Montana’s wild places and is written with a spirit that cultivates a caring relationship between humans and nature. From my book of poems and photographs you will learn to: Appreciate and enjoy what you have in the now Cultivate a caring relationship with your lifelong neighbor, Mother Nature Notice the little things around you with a smile and a laugh Use your time and energy wisely Do what you can by starting locally Be a more environmentally conscious citizen Nostalgia helps bring back memories of simpler times. Sometimes memories are evoked by our experiences in the outdoors, be it on a hike or a brief glance out the window. Although memories themselves are not tangible, the natural world that creates them is a fragile reality. This reality expresses itself in my poetry through written word and nostalgic black and white photographs, touching on subjects like squirrels, birds, ants, trees and water, while also addressing the human concepts of fame, frailty and progress. Each chapter reminds the reader of how the well being of the planet depends on the well being of our enviromental consciousness. My book seeks to strengthen you and your children’s connection to the timeless tranquility that nature affords.

Download or read book Screening Nostalgia written by Alexandra Ludewig and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Heimat film genre, assumed to be outdated by so many, is very much alive. Who would have thought that this genre - which has been almost unanimously denounced within academic circles, but which seems to resonate so deeply with the general public - would experience a renaissance in the 21st century? The genre's recent resurgence is perhaps due less to an obsession with generic storylines and stereotyped figures than to a basic human need for grounding that has resulted in a passionate debate about issues of past and present. This book traces the history of the Heimat film genre from the early mountain films to Fatih Akin's contemporary interpretations of Heimat.

Download or read book Okinawan War Memory written by Kyle Ikeda and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As one of Okinawa's most insightful writers and social critics, Medoruma Shun has highlighted the problems and limits of conventional representation of the Battle of Okinawa, raised new questions and concerns about the nature of Okinawan war memory, and expanded the possibilities of representing war through his groundbreaking and prize-winning fiction, editorials, essays, and speaking engagements. Yet, his writing has not been analyzed in regard to how his experience and identity as the child of two survivors of the Battle of Okinawa have powerfully shaped his understanding of the war and his literary craft. This book examines Okinawan war memory through the lens of Medoruma’s war fiction, and pays particular attention to the issues of second-generation war survivorship and transgenerational trauma. It explores how his texts contribute to knowledge about the war and its ongoing effects — on survivors, their offspring, and the larger community — in different ways from that of other modes of representation, such as survivor testimony, historical narrative, and realistic fiction. These dominant means of memory making have played a major role in shaping the various discourses about the war and the Battle of Okinawa, yet these forms of public memory and knowledge often exclude or avoid more personal, emotional, and traumatic experiences. Indeed, Ikeda’s analysis sheds light on the nature of trauma on survivors and their children who continue to inhabit sites of the traumatic past, and in turn makes an important contribution to studies on trauma and second-generation survivor experiences. This book will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Asian literature, Japanese literature, Japanese history, war memory and Okinawa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few of us are troubled enough that we choose to walk the remainder of this road called "life," searching for answers and achieving some significance and bliss.

Due to a vivid nightmare, he faltered at the last moment and stayed put within the confines of his tormented urban existence. A year passed and his compulsive impulse for that escape was suppressed. Rebuilding a new way to live, he channeled and fed those impulses by trekking into the mountains of Maharashtra, trailing through the forests of Bhandavgarh and Tadoba Andhari, whilst getting too close to tigers and crocodiles. In doing so, he transformed himself into a true backpacker. But something was still amiss. Love. It took just one woman to undo all the good. The adolescent turned man found himself weaker than ever before and drenched in despair. He was back where he started, fighting the same impulse to escape into the Northern Mountains. Will the road cease for him or will he find a silver lining ahead? See where his path leads him in A Bittersweet Nostalgia.

Download or read book Nostalgia or Perversion Gothic Rewriting from the Eighteenth Century until the Present Day written by Isabella van Elferen and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nostalgia or Perversion? Gothic Rewriting from the Eighteenth Century until the Present Day presents an interdisciplinary approach to an important aspect of Gothic texts, films, and music: that of rewriting. From the eighteenth-century Gothic novel to present-day vampire films and Goth music, the genre is characterised by its nostalgic reflection on past worlds, narratives, and identities. Gothic nostalgia is often accompanied by a transgressive drive, resulting in perversions of the rewritten past—the modern vampire is no longer embodied evil but an attractive dandy, while Goth subcultures reflect on Victorian aesthetics but pervert them by adding fetishist elements. Gothic nostalgia transforms the past, turning it upside down, foregrounding its background, and corrupting its order. In this volume an international group of philosophy, literature, film, and music scholars investigates the instrumental role of nostalgia and perversion in the Gothic’s rewriting of the past. If elements of both nostalgia and perversion are operative in Gothic rewriting, how are they connected? How do they play out in differing media? How do they change audiences’ views on the relationships between binaries such as past and present, other and self, and norm and deviation? Nostalgia or Perversion brings together the early Gothic novel, present-day female and black Gothic literature, Goth subculture and music, and the imagery of horror films and comic books, thus broadening the definition of ‘Gothic’ from a literary genre to a gesture of pervasive cultural criticism. The interdisciplinary analysis of nostalgia and perversion in Gothic rewriting uncovers wholly new insights into the artistic and social functions of the Gothic, making the volume useful to both scholars and students. As the essays reflect on academic as well as popular texts and media, it is also accessible to general readers. "Nostalgia or Perversion provides a sophisticated analysis of how the Gothic radically rewrites the past, not as nostalgia but as a calculated act of transgression. The past and how its reconstructions break down the boundaries between real and unreal, and normal and abnormal, is examined across a range of different media, including novels, films, comic books, television and music. The essays in this collection also address how this issue shapes Gothic formulations of race, sexuality, and gender. Both ambitious in scope and focused and rigorous in its analysis, this book provides a critically important re-evaluation of the Gothic tradition." —Andrew Smith, University of Glamorgan (UK).
