Book excerpt: This collection of thoughts, feelings, surmises, rants and rhapsodies explores the world of art and cinema Nilsson has watched and experienced over the last 40 years. To him post modern developments in the gallery and museum Arts are largely fatuous and have resulted in market oriented novelties which pretend to significance but depend on profit. Following the lead of the original Duchampian art jokes, (FOUNTAIN or BICYCLE WHEEL) funny only once (in 1917), modern day cultural Sophists continue to promote Warhols sly suggestions that someday, everything will be art by allowing it to happen. Catharsis, transcendence, or anything involving depth of emotion, complex human behavior or intellectual challenge is embarrassingly sincere to these fixers who correct the pretensions of Art in order to create the breathless freedoms of fashion. His view of the so- called American Independent film movement (1959 to the present) is that it never was what it intended (and pretended) to be. From an indigenous cinema created by early American pioneers (inspired by Italian Neo-Realism and the French New Wave (1950s & 60s) John Cassavetes, SHADOWS, FACES, Lionel Rogosin, (ON THE BOWERY), Morris Engel, (THE LITTLE FUGITIVE), Shirley Clarke, (THE COOL WORLD) and later Robert Young and Michael Roemer, (NOTHING BUT A MAN), and Cine Manifest filmmakers Nilsson and John Hanson, (NORTHERN LIGHTS) an Indiewood variant ended up backing the film careers of directors such as Spike Lee, John Waters and Quentin Tarantino who were really on the road to Hollywood all along.

Download or read book Greek Tragic Women on Shakespearean Stages written by Tanya Pollard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greek Tragic Women on Shakespearean Stages argues that ancient Greek plays exerted a powerful and uncharted influence on early modern England's dramatic landscape. Drawing on original research to challenge longstanding assumptions about Greek texts' invisibility, the book shows not only that the plays were more prominent than we have believed, but that early modern readers and audiences responded powerfully to specific plays and themes. The Greek plays most popular in the period were not male-centered dramas such as Sophocles' Oedipus, but tragedies by Euripides that focused on raging bereaved mothers and sacrificial virgin daughters, especially Hecuba and Iphigenia. Because tragedy was firmly linked with its Greek origin in the period's writings, these iconic female figures acquired a privileged status as synecdoches for the tragic theater and its ability to conjure sympathetic emotions in audiences. When Hamlet reflects on the moving power of tragic performance, he turns to the most prominent of these figures: 'What's Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba/ That he should weep for her?' Through readings of plays by Shakespeare and his contemporary dramatists, this book argues that newly visible Greek plays, identified with the origins of theatrical performance and represented by passionate female figures, challenged early modern writers to reimagine the affective possibilities of tragedy, comedy, and the emerging genre of tragicomedy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arayna Callahan and Tasha Carson board the train that will take them from Penn Station to the Carson mansion on Long Island for an obligatory appearance at Tasha’s parents’ annual political fundraising extravaganza. Attending the stuffy affair is a small price to pay for the rent-free week at the Carson’s opulent New York City penthouse overlooking Central Park. This year, the typically tiresome event proves to be anything but. In attendance is Gates Gregory, the much older, high-powered, high-profile top cop from Chicago. Even though he’s not her type, his effect on Arayna has her immediately on the defensive. For the past four years, Arayna and her best friend, Tasha, have been living in Florida and are regular members of an elite BDSM club. Arayna craves the command and control she finds only with a dominant. A vanilla relationship does not interest her. Gates projects the power and command, but can a man who is in the lifestyle satisfy her submissive soul? Despite a stern warning from Tasha that Gates leaves broken hearts in his wake, the two set off on a harmless, exciting, and seductive vacation divergence. Gates is simply a distraction, and Arayna has no intention of becoming another notch on his already-crammed bedpost. Little does he know just what’s hidden beneath the sexy and imposing facade. In that one fated moment, neither suspects how much their innocent dalliance will change their lives. But will the change be for the better, or will it destroy them both?

Book excerpt: From the author of The Sandcastle Empire comes a sci-fi thriller that’s equal parts Illuminae and One of Us Is Lying. Lindley Hamilton has been the leader of the space station Lusca since every first generation crew member on board, including her mother, the commander, was killed by a deadly virus. Lindley always assumed she’d captain the Lusca one day, but she never thought that day would come so soon. And she never thought it would be like this—struggling to survive every day, learning how to keep the Lusca running, figuring out how to communicate with Earth, making sure they don’t run out of food. When a member of the surviving second generation dies from symptoms that look just like the deadly virus, though, Lindley feels her world shrinking even smaller. And as more people die, Lindley must face the terrifying reality—that either the virus has mutated, or one of their own is a killer.

Download or read book How to Do Things with Emotions written by Owen Flanagan and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The world today seems full of anger. In the West, particularly in the US and UK, this anger can oftentimes feel aimless, a possible product of social media. Still, anger is normally considered a useful motivational source for positive social change. Channeling that anger into movements for civil rights, alleviation of socio-economic inequality, and the end of endless wars, has long been understood as a valuable tactic. Moreover, anger is believed to be handy in everyday life in order to protect, and stick up for, oneself. On the flip side, the world today celebrates diminishing amounts of shame. Political leaders and pundits shamelessly abandon commitments to integrity, truth and decency, and in general, shame is considered to be a primitive, ugly emotion, which causes eating disorders, PTSD, teenage pregnancy, suicide, and other highly undesirable circumstances. Having shame is, thus, regularly understood as both psychologically bad and morally bad. In How to Do Things with Emotions, philosopher Owen Flanagan argues this thinking is backwards, and that we need to tune down anger and tune up shame. By examining cross-cultural resources, Flanagan demonstrates how certain kinds of anger are destructive, while a 'mature' sense of shame can be used -as it is in many cultures- as a socializing emotion, that does not need to be attached to the self, but can be called upon to protect good values (kindness, truth) rather than bad ones (racism, sexism). Drawing from Stoic, Buddhist, and other cultural traditions, Flanagan explains that payback anger (i.e., revenge) and pain-passing anger (i.e., passing hurt one is feeling to someone else) are incorrigible, and also, how the Western view of shame rooted in traditions of psychoanalysis is entirely unwarranted. Continuing his method of doing ethics by bringing in cross-cultural philosophy, research from psychology, and in this case widening that to include cultural psychology and anthropology, Flanagan shows exactly how our culture shapes our emotions-through norms and traditions-and how proper cultivation of our emotions can yield important progress in our morality"--
