Book excerpt: Roman Polanski’s Repulsion (1965), starring Catherine Deneuve as a repressed and tormented manicurist, is a gripping, visually inventive descent into paranoia and self-destructive alienation. Emblematic of recurrent Polanski motifs, evinced in his student short films, in his striking debut feature, Knife in the Water (1962), and in subsequent features like Death and the Maiden (1994), Repulsion is a tour de force examination of crippling anxiety and the sinister potency of inanimate objects. Repulsion amplifies the realm of psychological horror by evoking the seething impact of increasing delusion, literal and figurative seclusion, and the consequences of one woman’s foreboding sensitivity to the unsettling world that surrounds her. This Devil’s Advocate considers Repulsion within the context of familiar horror tropes and the prevailing qualities of Polanski’s broader oeuvre. Drawing on the research of Sigmund Freud, Julia Kristeva, Barbara Creed and others, concerning issues of abjection, the ‘monstrous-feminine’, and the psychology of horror spectatorship, this text focuses on central themes of isolation, sexuality and setting. Bookended by introductory biographical details and concluding with a roundup of the film’s reception, Jeremy Carr situates Repulsion within the horror genre at large as well as its various off-shoots, such as the rape/revenge subgenre. There is also an analysis of the film’s technical qualities, from its sound design to its brilliantly low-key special effects, all of which define the film as Polanski’s most audaciously stylish realisation of dread and unease.

This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gravity is an obsolete law in starry heaven. Among the materialists, gravity is the king of the all-potent imponderables. But among the students of the Sacred Science, gravity in one of the attributes of differentiation manifested as the law of attraction and repulsion between various states of matter. Newton did not use the word “attraction” with regard to the mutual action of bodies in a physical sense; to him, attractions were impulses; he believed that there is some subtle spirit, by the force and action of which all movements of matter are determined. For Pythagoras, Forces were Spiritual Entities (Gods independent of planets and matter, as we see and know them on Earth), who are the Rulers of the Sidereal Heaven. Light, heat, electricity, etc., are Affections, not properties or qualities of matter. Matter is the prerequisite and vehicle for the manifestation of Intelligent Forces on this plane. Newton had derived his knowledge of Gravitation and its laws from Jacob Böhme, with whom Gravitation or Attraction is the first property of Nature. Newton, whose profound mind had fathomed the spiritual thought of the great Seer in its mystic rendering, owes his great discovery to Böhme, the nursling of the genii who watched over and guided him. The voidness of the seeming full is the fullness of the seeming void. It was from Newton’s theory of a universal void that dates the immense scorn now shown by the moderns for ancient physics. Though the old sages had always maintained that “nature abhorred vacuum,” the mathematicians of the new world had discovered the antiquated “fallacy” and exposed it. More recently, modern Science vindicated, however ungracefully, archaic knowledge having, moreover, to also vindicate Newton’s character and powers of observation at this late hour. And now Father Æther is welcomed once more with open arms and wedded to gravitation. “Look back before moving forward” must become the motto of exact Science, in finding herself itself inexact every leap-year. Rough and up-hill is the path of Science; her days are full of vanity and vexation of Spirit. The metaphysical tenets of Kepler are purely occult. He was not the first to discover the theory of Attraction and Repulsion in Kosmos, for it was known from the days of Empedocles, the two opposite forces being called by him Hate and Love, or Repulsion and Attraction. Kepler also gave a pretty fair description of Cosmic Magnetism. Why should he be denounced then as most unscientific, for offering just the same solution as Newton did — only showing himself more sincere, more consistent, and even more logical? Where is the difference between Newton’s “all-powerful Being” and Kepler’s Rectores, his Sidereal and Cosmic Forces, or Angels?

Download or read book Attraction and Repulsion in the Universe written by Miroslav Halza and published by Miroslav Halza. This book was released on 2012-11-23 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book hypothesizes the existence of a trinity of subatomic Builder particles that manage the growth and expansion of the post-Creation universe via three elemental long-range forces. Gravitons mediate the relatively weak gravitational force, which draws objects together; photons mediate its opposite, the photational force that pushes objects apart; and magnetons (along with their parent particles, neutrinos) mediate the powerful inductive attractive force. Drawing on recent discoveries in the fields of astronomy, astrophysics, and particle physics, Halza carefully combines classic mechanics with its quantum counterpart to draw conclusions about underpinnings of our Universe that are both Biblically acceptable and scientifically plausible. Extrapolating from undisputed physical law and counterintuitive subatomic interactions alike, he goes on to explain why the inductive force obviates the need for the hypothetic dark matter that some cosmologists add to their theories of the universe in order to balance their equationsbased on the misconception that gravity acts as the only long-range attractive force in our universe. One of the ramifications of Halzas theory is that the observable matter in the universe may, in fact, be all there isand that it exerts an attractive force six times stronger than previous theories allow for, given the inductive forces presence. Among other things, this suggests that our Sun contains only one-sixth of its previously calculated masswhich has startling implications regarding the Suns age and expected lifetime, and the fate of all life on Earth.
