Download or read book The triumviral period civil war political crisis and socioeconomic transformations written by Pina Polo, Francisco and published by Prensas de la Universidad de Zaragoza. This book was released on 2020-07-08 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing from the subsequent Augustan age can be fully explained without understanding the previous Triumviral period (43-31 BC). In this book, twenty experts from nine different countries and nineteen universities examine the Triumviral age not merely as a phase of transition to the Principate but as a proper period with its own dynamics and issues, which were a consequence of the previous years. The volume aims to address a series of underlying structural problems that emerged in that time, such as the legal nature of power attributed to the Triumvirs; changes and continuity in Republican institutions, both in Rome and the provinces of the Empire; the development of the very concept of civil war; the strategies of political communication and propaganda in order to win over public opinion; economic consequences for Rome and Italy, whether caused by the damage from constant wars or, alternatively, resulting from the proscriptions and confiscations carried out by the Triumvirs; and the transformation of Roman-Italian society. All these studies provide a complete, fresh and innovative picture of a key period that signaled the end of the Roman Republic.

Download or read book Scorn written by Dee Piazza and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-04-27 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique collection of poems was inspired by a true account of love and loss. Rarely do we delve into the fury of betrayal, the pain of being abandoned, and the emotional devastation that is the aftermath. Review of SCORN SCORN as a body attempts to treat wounds too deep and too salted to heal. This work is a study in the opposing forces that flog our souls in times of desperate need. It is at once futile and effective. Anger, spite, and the bright fresh wounds of betrayal describe the first third of the book, which then surprisingly moves into works of hope. A fleeting hope of a joyous resolution as it turns out for SCORN culminates in utter resignation-confirming the existentialist nightmare that looms in every human heart. The author presents a brave face yearning for the sting and release of death-but he is really just everyman bellowing into the abyss knowing that there can be no answer. Not even an echo.
Download or read book Black Directors in Hollywood written by Melvin Donalson and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2003-12-01 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hollywood film directors are some of the world's most powerful storytellers, shaping the fantasies and aspirations of people around the globe. Since the 1960s, African Americans have increasingly joined their ranks, bringing fresh insights to movie characterizations, plots, and themes and depicting areas of African American culture that were previously absent from mainstream films. Today, black directors are making films in all popular genres, while inventing new ones to speak directly from and to the black experience. This book offers a first comprehensive look at the work of black directors in Hollywood, from pioneers such as Gordon Parks, Melvin Van Peebles, and Ossie Davis to current talents including Spike Lee, John Singleton, Kasi Lemmons, and Carl Franklin. Discussing 67 individuals and over 135 films, Melvin Donalson thoroughly explores how black directors' storytelling skills and film techniques have widened both the thematic focus and visual style of American cinema. Assessing the meanings and messages in their films, he convincingly demonstrates that black directors are balancing Hollywood's demand for box office success with artistic achievement and responsibility to ethnic, cultural, and gender issues.
