Download or read book A Century of Moravian Sisters written by Elizabeth Lehman Myers and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2005-12-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When vespers were given upon noteworthy occasions a decided tone of elegance was given to the affair. Ancestral silver was brought out; the finest and heaviest of linens, handwoven, with crests or initials of the owner in the corners; Old Meissen or Spode china; and the Baron Stiegel glass in some families. The every-day sugar cake gave way to sponge, or "baba" cakes... White grape jelly was also considered a very great dainty to serve at vesper. -from "A Tranquil Community" In December 1740, a small group of German pilgrims arrived in the British colony of Pennsylvania, intent on founding a settlement of the Moravian Church in the New World. By the era of the Civil War, more than a century later, a vigorous and lively society of active women-driven by faith and the desire to go good-had significantly influenced the lives of their neighbors and the community around them. This delightful 1918 work traces the history of these capable women, in a gentle but puissant reminder of the dramatic impact the work of women has had on the shaping of America. American writer ELIZABETH LEHMAN MYERS (1869-1936) authored numerous papers on local Pennsylvania history.

Download or read book Deaf Subjects written by Brenda Jo Brueggemann and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this probing exploration of what it means to be deaf, Brenda Brueggemann goes beyond any simple notion of identity politics to explore the very nature of identity itself. Looking at a variety of cultural texts, she brings her fascination with borders and between-places to expose and enrich our understanding of how deafness embodies itself in the world, in the visual, and in language. Taking on the creation of the modern deaf subject, Brueggemann ranges from the intersections of gender and deafness in the work of photographers Mary and Frances Allen at the turn of the last century, to the state of the field of Deaf Studies at the beginning of our new century. She explores the power and potential of American Sign Language—wedged, as she sees it, between letter-bound language and visual ways of learning—and argues for a rhetorical approach and digital future for ASL literature. The narration of deaf lives through writing becomes a pivot around which to imagine how digital media and documentary can be used to convey deaf life stories. Finally, she expands our notion of diversity within the deaf identity itself, takes on the complex relationship between deaf and hearing people, and offers compelling illustrations of the intertwined, and sometimes knotted, nature of individual and collective identities within Deaf culture.
Download or read book The Films of Woody Allen written by Charles L.P. Silet and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2006-07-27 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From What's Up, Tiger Lily? to Match Point, Woody Allen's work has generated substantial interest among scholars and professionals who have written extensively about the director. In The Films of Woody Allen: Critical Essays, Charles L.P. Silet brings together two-dozen scholarly articles that address the core of Allen's work from a variety of cultural and theoretical perspectives. With a special emphasis on his films of the 1980s, this collection includes both general essays that examine various themes and issues encompassed in Allen's repertoire, as well as discussions that focus on one or two specific films. General essays explore Allen's Jewish background as a religious and cultural facet, his apparent love affair with New York City, and his relation to various strains of humor_particularly American film humor, but also Allen's broad use of such traditional comic tropes as irony and parody. The essays on individual films include examinations of some of Allen's most significant work including Love and Death, Annie Hall, Interiors, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Hannah and Her Sisters, Manhattan, and Shadows and Fog. A number of the articles collected here were originally published in now hard to locate places, while others were selected from journals not usually associated with film studies. The result is an anthology of essays that presents an overview of the central issues raised by Allen's body of work as well as a close examination of fourteen individual films that convey these larger themes. A wide-ranging exploration of one of America's most innovative and productive modern directors, this book should appeal to both professionals and students of contemporary film comedy.
Download or read book The Films of the Eighties written by William J. Palmer and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this remarkable sequel to his Films of the Seventies: A Social History, William J. Palmer examines more than three hundred films as texts that represent, revise, parody, comment upon, and generate discussion about major events, issues, and social trends of the eighties. Palmer defines the dialectic between film art and social history, taking as his theoretical model the "holograph of history" that originated from the New Historicist theories of Hayden White and Dominick LaCapra. Combining the interests and methodologies of social history and film criticism, Palmer contends that film is a socially conscious interpreter and commentator upon the issues of contemporary social history. In the eighties, such issues included the war in Vietnam, the preservation of the American farm, terrorism, nuclear holocaust, changes in Soviet-American relations, neoconservative feminism, and yuppies. Among the films Palmer examines are Platoon, The Killing Fields, The River, Out of Africa, Little Drummer Girl, Kiss of the Spiderwoman, Silkwood, The Day After, Red Dawn, Moscow on the Hudson, Troop Beverly Hills, and Fatal Attraction. Utilizing the principles of New Historicism, Palmer demonstrates that film can analyze and critique history as well as present it.

Download or read book The History of Mental Illness in Criminal Cases The English Tradition written by Jane Moriarty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 655 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether the accused is competent to stand trial, whether the plaintiff is competent to accuse, or whether a witness is competent to testify has had a long legal history. Such questions draw legal reasoning into areas of ethical reflection and scientific debate deeply rooted in the moral history of the United States. Mental competence has come to play a central and controversial role in proving guilt, and in evaluating the severity of a crime and its corresponding punishment. This compendium brings together the major legal precedents and legal commentaries that have defined the role of mental illness in criminal trials throughout U.S. history. The reprint collection considers, among other issues, the evolution of the Supreme Court's position on the insanity defense and mental retardation, how these affect one's competency to stand trial or be executed, and how these affect culpability and punishment. Each volume begins with an introductory essay, and includes both cases and commentary. Scholars as well as students will find these volumes a useful research tool.

Download or read book Movies That Mattered written by Dave Kehr and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new collection of essays and reviews from “one of the most gifted film critics in America” offers rare insight into the cinema of the 1970s and 80s (Roger Ebert). Following the first collection of Dave Kehr’s criticism, When Movies Mattered, this volume features fifty more reviews and essays drawn from the archives of both the Chicago Reader and Chicago magazine from 1974 to 1986. This collection offers in-depth analyses of films that are among Kehr’s favorites, from the sobering Holocaust documentary Shoah to the raucous comedy Used Cars. But fans of Kehr’s work will be just as taken by his dissections of critically acclaimed films he found disappointing, including The Shining, Apocalypse Now, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Whether you’re a long-time reader or just discovering Dave Kehr, the insights in Movies That Mattered will enhance your appreciation of the movies you already love—and may even make you think twice about one or two you hated.
