Download or read book Welcome to the Dreamhouse written by Lynn Spigel and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2001-06-01 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Welcome to the Dreamhouse feminist media studies pioneer Lynn Spigel takes on Barbie collectors, African American media coverage of the early NASA space launches, and television’s changing role in the family home and its links to the broader visual culture of modern art. Exploring postwar U.S. media in the context of the period’s reigning ideals about home and family life, Spigel looks at a range of commercial objects and phenomena, from television and toys to comic books and magazines. The volume considers not only how the media portrayed suburban family life, but also how both middle-class ideals and a perceived division between private and public worlds helped to shape the visual forms, storytelling practices, and reception of postwar media and consumer culture. Spigel also explores those aspects of suburban culture that media typically render invisible. She looks at the often unspoken assumptions about class, nation, ethnicity, race, and sexual orientation that underscored both media images (like those of 1960s space missions) and social policies of the mass-produced suburb. Issues of memory and nostalgia are central in the final section as Spigel considers how contemporary girls use television reruns as a source for women’s history and then analyzes the current nostalgia for baby boom era family ideals that runs through contemporary images of new household media technologies. Containing some of Spigel’s well-known essays on television’s cultural history as well as new essays on a range of topics dealing with popular visual culture, Welcome to the Dreamhouse is important reading for students and scholars of media and communications studies, popular culture, American studies, women’s studies, and sociology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: KILLING EVE meets THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD A Cold War spy’s deceits rise through time to haunt his American son, in a dual narrative split between postwar Berlin and early twentieth century New York City. Past becomes prologue as a father’s secret life and untimely death begin to make treacherous sense before delivering one final surprise. Skilled and capable, Con Mathis works for the New York District Attorney’s office. He’s movie-star handsome, charming, well educated, haunted by his expat German father’s suicide, and devoted to his mother Ruth and sister Sophie. Having completed an undercover assignment investigating the Wall Street money laundering operation of a Russian kingpin, he unwinds at a Manhattan bar, drinks too much and meets Emmy, a compelling German woman he thinks could be his soul mate. The next day, hungover and foggy, he realizes that he lost his keys and wallet at her place and needs to go back, but he can’t remember exactly where she lives. By the time he finds her, the woman he felt so drawn to turns out to be unstable, even dangerous. Far from a stranger, Emmy is a missive from his late father’s Cold War past. In meeting Emmy, Con’s search for meaning in his father’s long ago suicide collides with his hidden life as a Stasi agent in Cold War Berlin. As the discoveries become more troubling, Con launches an investigation that inadvertently puts his beloved American mother and sister at risk.

Download or read book The African Journalist written by Keith Nalumango and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when you stumble upon evidence that implicates fellow executives in corrupt practices, and in your quest to fight the vice, you face the obstacles of ethnicity and trade unionism, backed by bad governance from the highest political office in the land? Alfred and Lewis are senior executives at an African broadcasting company who produce evidence against corrupt fellow executives, but most of whom belong to the state President's ethnic group. In the silent war that ensues, the President, First Lady, Vice President, some Cabinet Ministers and Backbenchers, the Intelligence Service, the company's Board of Directors, its nonchalant CEO and some of the company's clients side with the villain, Spade, the VP of Operations and famous TV personality. Unionized workers go on a pro-Spade strike. Undaunted, Alfred and Lewis threaten to spill the beans. So, Spade resigns his job, but only after being promised a diplomatic appointment. When Alfred succeeds Spade as VP of Operations, he strives to clean the slate. But without the CEO's support, and in an environment where some company employees are on State House payroll, will Alfred succumb to the demands of ruling party politicians for the control of the newsroom diary? Will the corruption ever stop? Will Lewis's contract of service be renewed? Tipped about a danger to his life, Alfred and family must leave for the US. From the President's office to the boardroom and the courts, from TV studios to the cemeteries, the scenic beauty of Cape Town and the wilderness of Kenya, The African Journalist tells the tale of the African journalist today. Although a work of fiction, the story is inspired by true events. It's the story of Africa's perennial ethnicity problem, as witnessed recently, on an explosive scale, in Rwanda, Kenya and South Africa.

Book excerpt: *** Formerly published in 2015 under the same title. This book has been extensively revised from the original. *** USA TODAY® Bestselling author Maggie McGinnis welcomes us to Echo Lake, Vermont, where just the right wishes can lead to sparkly, unexpected happily-ever-afters. Boston therapist Josie Kendrew specializes in helping other people mend their broken hearts, but her own heart is another story. After years of putting distance between herself and her childhood home, she's forced to rush back to Echo Lake, Vermont when her father has a stroke, but once she arrives, painful memories threaten to send her driving right back out of town. Between her sweet "little sister" and Ethan Miller, the boy she left behind, Josie finds herself face-to-face with a pain she's not sure she can endure. Ethan is now--wow--all man, and he's sitting in the CFO chair of Snowflake Village, her family's Christmas-themed amusement park ... a place noted by journalists as charming and sweet and festive, but a place she's derisively called Camp Ho-Ho forever--or at least since she was old enough to watch the twinkly lights and endless hours destroy her parents. Ethan Miller never set out to be the one left behind, but when Josie blew out of town ten years ago with no explanation, suddenly that's who he was. After a week spent mostly in a Jim Beam haze, he tucked her engagement ring in a drawer and set out to make a life for himself, though their history gnaws at him every day he walks the pathways of Snowflake Village. A lot has changed since Josie fled, so when she drives back in, a mixture of angry, scared, and sad, he has no idea whether she'll stay ... or leave him shattered once again. As the days turn into weeks, both Ethan and Josie realize that maybe, just maybe, Snowflake Village might hold more than just ghosts from the past. It might hold the possibility of a second chance at love...

Book excerpt: A Critical Cinema 4 is the fourth volume in Scott MacDonald's Critical Cinema series, the most extensive, in-depth exploration of independent cinema available in English.

The interviews are arranged to express the remarkable diversity of modern independent cinema and the network of interconnections within the community of filmmakers. A Critical Cinema 4 includes the most extensive interview with the late Stan Brakhage yet published; a conversation with P. Adams Sitney about his arrival on the New York independent film scene; a detailed discussion with Peter Kubelka about the experience of making Our African Journey; a conversation with Jill Godmilow and Harun Farocki on modern political documentary; Jim McBride's first extended published conversation in thirty years; a discussion with Abigail Child about her evolution from television documentarian to master editor; and the first extended interview with Chuck Workman. This volume also contains discussions with Chantal Akerman about her place trilogy ; Lawrence Brose on his examination of Oscar Wilde's career; Hungarian Peter Forgács about his transformation of European home movies into video operas; Iranian-born Shirin Neshat on working between two cultures; and Ellen Spiro about exploring America with her video camera and her dog. Each interview is supplemented by an introductory overview of the filmmaker's contributions. A detailed filmography and a selected bibliography complete the volume.

Download or read book Brown and Gay in LA written by Anthony Christian Ocampo and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories of second-generation immigrant gay men coming of age in Los Angeles Growing up in the shadow of Hollywood, the gay sons of immigrants featured in Brown and Gay in LA could not have felt further removed from a world where queerness was accepted and celebrated. Instead, the men profiled here maneuver through family and friendship circles where masculinity dominates, gay sexuality is unspoken, and heterosexuality is strictly enforced. For these men, the path to sexual freedom often involves chasing the dreams while resisting the expectations of their immigrant parents—and finding community in each other. Ocampo also details his own story of reconciling his queer Filipino American identity and those of men like him. He shows what it was like for these young men to grow up gay in an immigrant family, to be the one gay person in their school and ethnic community, and to be a person of color in predominantly White gay spaces. Brown and Gay in LA is an homage to second-generation gay men and their radical redefinition of what it means to be gay, to be a man, to be a person of color, and, ultimately, what it means to be an American.
