Download or read book Puppets Masks and Performing Objects written by John Bell and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2001-04-27 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, which originally appeared as a special issue of TDR/The Drama Review, looks at puppets, masks, and other performing objects from a broad range of perspectives. Puppets and masks are central to some of the oldest worldwide forms of art making and performance, as well as some of the newest. In the twentieth century, French symbolists, Russian futurists and constructivists, Prague School semioticians, and avant-garde artists around the world have all explored the experimental, social, and political value of performing objects. In recent years, puppets, masks, and objects have been the focus of Broadway musicals, postmodernist theory, political spectacle, performance art, and new academic programs, for example, at the California Institute of the Arts.This volume, which originally appeared as a special issue of TDR/The Drama Review, looks at puppets, masks, and other performing objects from a broad range of perspectives. The topics include Stephen Kaplin's new theory of puppet theater based on distance and ratio, a historical overview of mechanical and electrical performing objects, a Yiddish puppet theater of the 1920s and 1930s, an account of the Bread and Puppet Theater's Domestic Resurrection Circus and a manifesto by its founder, Peter Schumann, and interviews with director Julie Taymor and Peruvian mask-maker Gustavo Boada. The book also includes the first English translation of Pyotr Bogatyrev's influential 1923 essay on Czech and Russian puppet and folk theaters. Contributors John Bell, Pyotr Bogatyrev, Stephen Kaplin, Edward Portnoy, Richard Schechner, Peter Schumann, Salil Singh, Theodora Skipitares, Mark Sussman, Steve Tilllis

Download or read book Puppet and Spirit Ritual Religion and Performing Objects written by Claudia Orenstein and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology of essays aims to explore the many types of relationships that exist between puppets, broadly speaking, and the immaterial world. The allure of the puppet goes beyond its material presence as, historically and throughout the globe, many uses of puppets and related objects have expressed and capitalized on their posited connections to other realms or ability to serve as vessels or conduits for immaterial presence. The flip side of the puppet’s troubling uncanniness is precisely the possibilities it represents for connecting to discarnate realities. Where do we see such connections? How do we describe, analyze, and theorize these relationships? The first of two volumes, this book focuses on these questions in relation to long-established, traditional practices using puppets, devotional objects, and related items with sacred aspects to them or that perform ritual roles. Looking at performance traditions and artifacts from China, Indonesia, Korea, Mali, Brazil, Iran, Germany, and elsewhere, the essays from scholars and practitioners provide a range of useful models and critical vocabularies for addressing the ritual and spiritual aspects of puppet performance, further expanding the growing understanding and appreciation of puppetry generally. This book, along with its companion volume, offers, for the first time, robust coverage of this subject from a diversity of voices, examples, and perspectives.

Download or read book The Puppet and the Dwarf written by Slavoj Zizek and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2003-08-29 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of our most daring intellectuals offers a Lacanian interpretation of religion, finding that early Christianity was the first revolutionary collective. Slavoj Žižek has been called "an academic rock star" and "the wild man of theory"; his writing mixes astonishing erudition and references to pop culture in order to dissect current intellectual pieties. In The Puppet and the Dwarf he offers a close reading of today's religious constellation from the viewpoint of Lacanian psychoanalysis. He critically confronts both predominant versions of today's spirituality—New Age gnosticism and deconstructionist-Levinasian Judaism—and then tries to redeem the "materialist" kernel of Christianity. His reading of Christianity is explicitly political, discerning in the Pauline community of believers the first version of a revolutionary collective. Since today even advocates of Enlightenment like Jurgen Habermas acknowledge that a religious vision is needed to ground our ethical and political stance in a "postsecular" age, this book—with a stance that is clearly materialist and at the same time indebted to the core of the Christian legacy—is certain to stir controversy.

Book excerpt: I'm blacking out and waking up in dangerous places, not knowing what I've done. And going to goth clubs, creepy rich guy parties, and experimental music shows with my formerly possessed, amnesiac roommate isn't helping the situation much. Yea, I'm partying, but I swear I'm not doing any drugs—that's not why I'm passing out—I stick to a couple of good ol' cheap, American beers. I am starting to worry that something is very wrong with me, though. And the trouble I'm getting into during my blackouts is getting more and more extreme. I'm lucky I haven't been jailed... yet. After battling evil spirits and traveling to hell dimensions, is your girl Kendra finally starting to crack?

Cool, smartly-researched lore and a protagonist who, try as she might, can't stay out of supernatural trouble, Eve's series promises fun and delivers it." - Lucas Mangum, Splatterpunk Award-nominated author of Saint Sadist & Gods of the Dark Web. "A fun series - Kendra's quirky narrative voice makes the pages fly by, and Eve Harms makes the most of intensive, enthralling research. Compulsively readable - demons and possession with a side of humor." - Laurel Hightower, author of Crossroads and co-host of Ink Heist Podcast

Download or read book Our Puppet Government written by John R. Krismer and published by CCB Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few realize a New World Order (NWO) plans to replace our constitution with a Single World Government; nor that our Federal Reserve Bank is privately owned and is not subject to oversight by our Congress or the President. Peter Kershaw, in his book "Economic Solutions" exposes this NWO's controlling stockholders to include the Rockefellers, Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers of New York; the Rothschilds of London and Berlin; the Lazard Brothers of Paris; Israel Seiff of Italy; the Kuhn & Loeb Company of Germany; and the Warburgs of Hamburg and Amsterdam, who are earning almost two billion dollars a day in interest as they buy off our dysfunctional Congress and intentionally level this great nation to that of others. George H. W. Bush, the undisputed "Overlord" of the Shrub Dynasty, in his State of the Union Message of 1991 said: "What is at stake is more than one small country, it is a big idea - a new world order." Did We the People ever agree to this treasonous act of turning over our nation's sovereignty to a Single World Government? And today we have reached a point of no return, meaning that if we do not act now, we risk the loss of both our freedom and our Democracy. About the Author: John R. Krismer, MHA-LFACHE is founder and CEO of Health Systems Institute, consulting with governments, hospitals, clinics, and professional organizations while serving as CEO of several hospitals and corporations, and as a board member for two health insurance companies. He has conducted hundreds of educational institutes, and served as a principle investigator, researching the health record database system with four major universities, which required a comprehensive universal non-profit single prepayment system to provide cost effective high quality care that was to be lead by healthcare professionals, not plutocrats. He has been referred to as a visionary ahead of his time, who openly opposed profiting from our sick and disabled, and decentralizing and deregulating this county's healthcare under profit seeking insurance companies, while supporting this country's once very successful single privately owned non-profit healthcare system. A system that was once ranked first in the world instead of 37th by today's World Healthcare Organization (WHO). In discussing his concerns with President Ford, the President said, "Our politicians have a strangle hold on healthcare, and the current system will have to collapse before it can get better." And you know what? He was right.
