Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The wildest imagination could not have dreamed that this first fall of snow was merely the overture to a winter of continuous storm. The first white mantle still lay unsullied on the frozen prairie, in a profound hush of nature, when the meteorological opera opened with a crash on the thirteenth of December. A furious gale, bitter cold, a blinding, swirling blur of snow, and leaden, lowering skies, combined to make this storm a thing to paralyze that prairie country…” “The cougar! The traveler threading his lonely way through the wilderness heard its wild screaming, like the horrid wailing of a damned soul far off in the forest aisles and shuddered; or he might catch sight of the fearful animal…waiting for its prey; at last to leap down upon a deer, the woodsman or the pioneer who passed beneath, and falling like a thunderbolt, to tear open with claw and fang, throat and artery, and to plunge its dripping muzzle into warm blood”. These are but two exciting excerpts from diaries and historical articles that Mr. Parrish researched over a nine-year period of time. His historically correct stories take place in Kentucky, west-central Indiana, and Edgar County Illinois. The articles include the building of the first log cabin and later the first two-story brick home in Edgar County Illinois. Also included in this work are the histories of the restaurants, drive-in restaurants, and groceries dating from 1827. WILLIE is the story of a lost journal written in 1933 by a man on his death bed. Through months of searching and researching, Mr. Parrish was not only able to determine the author of the journal but return it to the writer’s heirs. It is a time capsule of the great Depression. Mr. Parrish’s sense of humor is reflected in his down-home style of writing. His stories include many of his own childhood memories. From WILLIE: “On the farm there were two accepted methods of killing a chicken for the pot. The first was by wringing its neck. Using this method, one would grab the victim by its head and spin it, stopping the spin abruptly, and thus breaking the chicken’s neck. The other method was less exacting but much more exciting. One would grab chicken by both feet, place it’s head under foot and quickly pull upward, disconnecting the head from the body, and then immediately toss the headless body which would run around “like a chicken with it’s head off”, spraying blood in all directions. This maneuver was very intriguing to a six year old boy, and after much pleading, Uncle Joe allowed me to try to dispatch a young fryer for Sunday dinner. Joe helped me grab the victim by the feet, placed its head under my foot and said,”pull”….

Download or read book Indian Cinema Today and Tomorrow written by S. V. Srinivas and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-22 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cinema has been, and is, a powerful tool for social mobilisation. The political importance of cinema was of course always well-known and has continued to evolve and grow. However, with innovations in modern technology, there has been the exponential growth of television alongside the movies, with content made especially for TV, as well as social media. This volume covers developments in Indian Cinema over the last decade. It explores an array of changes which has dramatically changed cinema — a surge of new filming and broadcasting technologies, from the camera phone to the most sophisticated digital equipment; an avalanche of talent, from trained to completely untrained actors; and a volume of content difficult to document and categorise. It also studies cinema growth and reactions to the onslaught of home entertainment and discusses its changing formats over the years, from TV to satellite, to VCRs and DVDs, serials to OTT streaming platforms. This book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers in film studies, performance studies, cultural studies, media studies, and popular culture. It will also interest professionals working in media and entertainment industries.

Download or read book Queer Bergman written by Daniel Humphrey and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the twentieth century’s most important filmmakers—indeed one of its most important and influential artists—Ingmar Bergman and his films have been examined from almost every possible perspective, including their remarkable portrayals of women and their searing dramatizations of gender dynamics. Curiously however, especially considering the Swedish filmmaker’s numerous and intriguing comments on the subject, no study has focused on the undeniably queer characteristics present throughout this nominally straight auteur’s body of work; indeed, they have barely been noted. Queer Bergman makes a bold and convincing argument that Ingmar Bergman’s work can best be thought of as profoundly queer in nature. Using persuasive historical evidence, including Bergman’s own on-the-record (though stubbornly ignored) remarks alluding to his own homosexual identifications, as well as the discourse of queer theory, Daniel Humphrey brings into focus the director’s radical denunciation of heteronormative values, his savage and darkly humorous deconstructions of gender roles, and his work’s trenchant, if also deeply conflicted, attacks on homophobically constructed forms of patriarchic authority. Adding an important chapter to the current discourse on GLBT/queer historiography, Humphrey also explores the unaddressed historical connections between post–World War II American queer culture and a concurrently vibrant European art cinema, proving that particular interrelationship to be as profound as the better documented associations between gay men and Hollywood musicals, queer spectators and the horror film, lesbians and gothic fiction, and others.

Download or read book Drive ins written by Joan Liftin and published by Trolley Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's a summer night on the plains, a night for dreamers and lovers, a night for drive-in movies. In Chickasa, Oklahoma, and Turkey, Texas, Main Street is dark and shuttered. Out on the prairie there flickers the first reel of the movie. This is the boundless nostalgia of the drive-in, of the serene confidence of the United States in the 50s, when Korea was a far-off land and Vietnam wasn't on the map, General Dwight D. Eisenhower was in the White House, and Edward Hopper captured the spirit of the age. It was remembered again in The Last Picture Show and by the Boss, Bruce Springsteen, when he sang My Home Town. There were 6,000 drive-ins across the Union then. There are 547 now. Idaho has The Spud, Texas had The Trail, and even New York City has the walk-in show in Bryant Park. The drive-in was born in 1933 in Camden, New Jersey, when an enterprising gas station owner projected a movie on his wall to entertain impatient customers. Since then the drive-in has had its ups and downs, latterly torn down to be replaced by shopping malls and tatty developments. But that zeitgeist will not die, and in Drive-Ins Joan Liftin has rung again the town bell that remembers it. There are many who will agree with her, and shake their heads at the loss of the apparent innocence of that age. This is now a very different world in which her photographs recall the ephemeral evenings at the drive-in, of the heart-breaking back row kisses, of the beer-topped coolers and popcorn, and the giant images of Monroe, Clift, and Gable bestriding the wilderness. Joan Liftin took these photographs over 20 years, some off-hand, some desultory, some with a startling, mesmeric evocation of what the drive-in was and meant to a generation of Americans.

Book excerpt: Cyber and its related technologies such as the Internet was introduced to the world only in late 1980s, and today it is unimaginable to think of a life without it. Despite being ubiquitous, cyber technology is still seen as an enigma by many, mainly due to its rapid development and the high level of science involved. In addition to the existing complexities of the technology, the level of threat matrix surrounding the cyber domain further leads to various misconceptions and exaggerations. Cyber technology is the future, thus forcing us to understand this complex domain to survive and evolve as technological beings. To understand the enigma, the book analyzes and disentangles the issues related to cyber technology. The author unravels the threats that terrorize the cyber world and aims to decrypt its domain. It also presents the existing reality of cyber environment in India and charts out a few recommendations for enhancing the country’s cyber security architecture. Further, the book delves into detailed analysis of various issues like hacking, dark web, cyber enabled terrorism and covert cyber capabilities of countries like the US and China.
