Download or read book Wind in the Buffalo Grass written by S. Marian Bohen and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her introduction to this memoir, S. Marian Bohen writes: "My life has taught me that perhaps by sharing our limited visions of reality, our memories, and by listening seriously to those of others, we may together approach a deeper understanding of the mystery of our existence, our world, our universe. If we can listen to the stories, learn about the life experiences of others, I have hope for a world where we move into circles of equals. Lines and `choosing sides' make for clear separations that are sometimes useful. In a world we now recognize as one beautiful round globe in a vast universe, my hope is that we can learn to sit in circles of listeners and storytellers, rising from these circles infected with a fever for peace and understanding." These reflections and learnings were gleaned from almost a quarter of a century of the author's life lived among various ethnic and religious groups in three major areas of Indonesia: Java, Kalimantan and Western Papua. This is a tale of almost endless river journeys, life lived on platforms above a muddy swamp, twice-daily baths in a river with soap, sarong, and a bucket - a life of seeming deprivation to the Western mind, and yet a life enriched by the wisdom and humanity of ancient cultures in some of the most remote places on earth. Bohen's respect for and adaptation to her adopted land are truly inspirational. It is her hope that her readers will come to taste the truth and beauty inherent in the unlikely places and events that she describes.

Download or read book The Idea of Nature in Disney Animation written by David Whitley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second edition of The Idea of Nature in Disney Animation, David Whitley updates his 2008 book to reflect recent developments in Disney and Disney-Pixar animation such as the apocalyptic tale of earth's failed ecosystem, WALL-E. As Whitley has shown, and Disney's newest films continue to demonstrate, the messages animated films convey about the natural world are of crucial importance to their child viewers. Beginning with Snow White, Whitley examines a wide range of Disney's feature animations, in which images of wild nature are central to the narrative. He challenges the notion that the sentimentality of the Disney aesthetic, an oft-criticized aspect of such films as Bambi, The Jungle Book, Pocahontas, Beauty and the Beast, and Finding Nemo, necessarily prevents audiences from developing a critical awareness of contested environmental issues. On the contrary, even as the films communicate the central ideologies of the times in which they were produced, they also express the ambiguities and tensions that underlie these dominant values. In distinguishing among the effects produced by each film and revealing the diverse ways in which images of nature are mediated, Whitley urges us towards a more complex interpretation of the classic Disney canon and makes an important contribution to our understanding of the role popular art plays in shaping the emotions and ideas that are central to contemporary experience.
