Book excerpt: These twenty heroines portrayed imperiled women in science fiction, horror, film noir and mystery movies from the 1930s to the 1960s.

Download or read book The Cry of Sirens written by William Kronick and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2004-01-30 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Synopsis Ben Hawthorne, self-exiled to an absent friend's crumbling Greenwich Village apartment, attempts to write down the events of his last month in Los Angeles. He is desperate to under- stand why he pushed Mark Victor off the balustrade of his Wilshire Corridor penthouse terrace. What, in God's name, possessed an easy-going, ethical WASP to murder his oldest friend, who happened to be a Jew? While Ben's claim that Mark accidentally fell -they were both drunk -is readily accepted by the police and public, he knows otherwise. Ben and Mark met at college. During the ensuing thirty years, they stayed in touch, but had gone dramatically different ways. They were each other's oldest, not best, friend. That is, until the past year, 1992, when Mark chose to enter Ben's world. By now, Mark had become one of the country's foremost financier/entrepreneurs, with a Time Magazine cover to his credit for effecting the major mergers of the Eighties. Ben, by now, was considered a "world class" motion picture director, with hit films and an Oscar nomination attesting to his success. Four years prior to killing Mark, however, Ben suffered two shattering setbacks: His agent of two decades, who had shielded him from most of the harsh truths of the business, died from a stroke. Only weeks later, an IRS agent informed Ben that his business manager, also of twenty years, was a compulsive gambler who had disappeared, leaving his clientele bereft of all assets, including pension investments. Suddenly, at forty-eight, Ben had to cope alone in a hostile environment, with no production prospects and his several million, gone. Does Mark know any of this when he offers to finance The Cry of Sirens, from a controversial script Ben owns? What part does Martha, Mark's assistant and Ben's eventual wife, play in the final encounter on the penthouse roof-garden? How do ego, guilt and envy bear on the impulse of one American high-achiever to destroy another? During his intense odyssey to uncover his motivation to murder, Ben must re-live relationships with friends, lovers, relatives and adversaries. Well-known figures, ranging from John Huston and Robert Redford to political activist Allard Lowenstein and journalist George Plimpton, play an integral part in the self-investigation. Ben's career has been devoted to mastering the distinctions between reality and illusion. Once he separates fiction from fact in his personal life, he finally understands why he killed Mark Victor. Was it a justifiable homicide? Certainly not, by society's standards. Should he be punished? The reader must judge...

Download or read book The Otherworldlies written by Jennifer Anne Kogler and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2008-06 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about what many teachers know but are increasingly being prevented from talking about: that real education always involves a risk. The risk is there because, as W. B. Yeats has put it, education is not about filling a bucket but about lighting a fire. It is there because education is not an interaction between machines, but an encounter between human beings. It is there because students are not to be seen as objects to be molded and disciplined, but as subjects of action and responsibility. Biesta's book opposes the risk aversion that characterizes many contemporary educational policies and practices and makes a strong argument for giving risk a central place in our educational endeavors. The book is organized around a critical discussion of seven key educational concepts: creativity, communication, teaching, learning, emancipation, democracy, and virtuosity.

Download or read book Reading Sounds written by Sean Zdenek and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-12-23 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of writing closed captions for television and DVD is not simply transcribing dialogue, as one might assume at first, but consists largely of making rhetorical choices. For Sean Zdenek, when captioners describe a sound they are interpreting and creating contexts, they are assigning significance, they are creating meaning that doesn t necessarily exist in the soundtrack or the script. And in nine chapters he analyzes the numerous complex rhetorical choices captioners make, from abbreviating dialogue so it will fit on the screen and keep pace with the editing, to whether and how to describe background sounds, accents, or slurred speech, to nonlinguistic forms of sound communication such as sighing, screaming, or laughing, to describing music, captioned silences (as when a continuous noise suddenly stops), and sarcasm, surprise, and other forms of meaning associated with vocal tone. Throughout, he also looks at closed captioning style manuals and draws on interviews with professional captioners and hearing-impaired viewers. Threading through all this is the novel argument that closed captions can be viewed as texts worthy of rhetorical analysis and that this analysis can lead the entertainment industry to better standards and practices for closed captioning, thereby better serve the needs of hearing-impaired viewers. The author also looks ahead to the work yet to be done in bringing better captioning practices to videos on the Internet, where captioning can take on additional functions such as enhancing searchability. While scholarly work has been done on captioning from a legal perspective, from a historical perspective, and from a technical perspective, no one has ever done what Zdenek does here, and the original analytical models he offers are richly interdisciplinary, drawing on work from the fields of technical communication, rhetoric, media studies, and disability studies."
