Download or read book Disney Pixar and the Hidden Messages of Children s Films written by M. Keith Booker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-11-25 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a wide-ranging survey of American children's film that provides detailed analysis of the political implications of these films, as well as a discussion of how movies intended for children have come to be so persistently charged with meaning. Disney, Pixar, and the Hidden Messages of Children's Films provides wide-ranging scrutiny of one of the most lucrative American entertainment genres. Beyond entertaining children—and parents—and ringing up merchandise sales, are these films attempting to shape the political views of young viewers? M. Keith Booker examines this question with a close reading of dozens of films from Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, and other studios, debunking some out-there claims—The Ant Bully communist propaganda?—while seriously considering the political content of each film. Disney, Pixar, and the Hidden Messages of Children's Films recaps the entire history of movies for young viewers—from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to this year's Up—then focuses on the extraordinary output of children's films in the last two decades. What Booker finds is that by and large, their lessons are decidedly, comfortably mainstream and any political subtext more often than not is inadvertent. Booker also offers some advice to parents for helping children read films in a more sophisticated way.

Download or read book Amazement written by E. Robert Morse and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-10 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word Amazement means a great deal more after reading E. Robert Morse’s ambitious philosophical exploration of that name. With Amazement as the focus, Morse takes his audience on a journey into a timeless volume which is also offered at a most timely age in the course of humankind. By balancing an investigation of modern social structures such as the contemporary family and popular culture with age-old philosophical mysteries such as free will and the meaning of life, the author is able to accomplish what has been rarely attempted in history. Morse uses three divisions, The State of Ideals, The Roots of Modernity and The Path Towards Amazement, to analyze humanity’s challenges, their source and, with a ground breaking series of proofs, the nature and attainability of the solution—what he entitles Amazement. Generally a philosophical text, the work also offers fresh portions of the social sciences and history sure to illustrate the writer’s love for many facets of life, but what will be most clear to his audience after completing Amazement is that Morse has an limitless devotion to humanity, America and God.
Download or read book The History of Chinese Rhetoric written by Weixiao Wei and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-22 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the existing misconception that there was no rhetoric in ancient China. Instead, this book provides ample evidence from public speeches in the Xia dynasty and oracle bone inscriptions in the Shang dynasty to public debates about government policies in the Han dynasty to show that persuasive discourse and rudimentary rhetorical techniques already existed in ancient China. Using literary analysis and discourse analysis methods, this book explains how the Mandate of Heaven was inscribed at the core of Chinese rhetoric and has guided Chinese thoughts and expressions for centuries. This book also demonstrates Chinese rhetorical wisdom by extracting many concepts and terms related to language expression, persuasive speech, morality and virtue, life and philosophy, and so on from great Chinese literary works. Well-known names, such as Confucius, Laozi, Sima Qian, Liu Xie, Mozi, Hanfeizi, Guibuzi and so on, are all touched upon with their famous theory and sayings related to and explicated from the rhetorical perspective. Many surprising facts are found by the author and revealed in the book. For example, a thousand years ago, the Chinese author Liu Xie already found that all words have preferred lexical neighbors and structural environment. This is later on ‘discovered’ by corpus linguistics and illustrated, for example, by the concepts of collocation and pattern grammar. This book targets postgraduate students, teachers, researchers and scholars interested in advanced Chinese language and Chinese literature, history, and culture.

Download or read book Holocaust Chronicles written by Robert Moses Shapiro and published by KTAV Publishing House, Inc.. This book was released on 1999 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The huge number of victims of the Holocaust is emotionally incomprehensible. The real horror can only be apprehended on the individual level. In the case of the Holocaust, many such records exist, since, as Ruth Wisse has observed, "many of the Jews in the ghettos and concentration camps . . . showed more concern for preserving a record of the incredible event they were witnessing than for their own survival." The studies presented in this volume survey this evidence--diaries, letters, oral histories, ghetto chronicles, rabbinic works, collections of photographs, songs--that originated in Warsaw, Lodz, Vilna, Auschwitz, and elsewhere. Together these documents allow us to gain some inkling of the experience of those who suffered in the ghettos and concentration camps--without the coloration and rethinkings of later recollections.

Download or read book Attraction Explained written by Viren Swami and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-02-11 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to relationships, there’s no shortage of advice from self-help ‘experts’, pick-up artists, and glossy magazines. But modern-day myths of attraction often have no basis in fact or – worse – are rooted in little more than misogyny. Based on science rather than self-help clichés, psychologist Viren Swami debunks these myths and draws on cutting-edge research to provide a ground-breaking and evidence-based account of relationship formation. At the core of this book is a very simple idea: there are no ‘laws of attraction’, no fool-proof methods or strategies for getting someone to date you. But this isn’t to say that there’s nothing to be gained from studying attraction. Based on science rather than self-help clichés, Attraction Explained looks at how factors such as geography, physical appearance, reciprocity, and similarity affect who we fall for and why. With updated statistics, this second edition also includes new content on online dating, queer relationships, racism in dating, shyness, and individual differences. It remains an engaging and accessible introduction to attraction relationship formation for professionals, students, and general readers.
