You will want to set your local river on fire. As always, clothing is optional. "Rick Lupert is a writer's chef. He used to be a writer's writer. Tomorrow he could be dead.

He is like a liar and a simile. If you want to laugh, there's this book or anything on NBC pre-1986." Derrick Brown, Write Bloody Publishing

Download or read book Inventing New England written by Dona Brown and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 1997-11-17 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quaint, charming, nostalgic New England: rustic fishing villages, romantic seaside cottages, breathtaking mountain vistas, peaceful rural settings. In Inventing New England, Dona Brown traces the creation of these calendar-page images and describes how tourism as a business emerged and came to shape the landscape, economy, and culture of a region. By the latter nineteenth century, Brown argues, tourism had become an integral part of New England's rural economy, and the short vacation a fixture of middle-class life. Focusing on such meccas as the White Mountains, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, coastal Maine, and Vermont, Brown describes how failed port cities, abandoned farms, and even scenery were churned through powerful marketing engines promoting nostalgia. She also examines the irony of an industry that was based on an escape from commerce but served as an engine of industrial development, spawning hotel construction, land speculation, the spread of wage labor, and a vast market for guidebooks and other publications.

Download or read book Surviving New England written by Callum Clayton-Dixon and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our people had thrived here on the so-called New England Tableland since the first sunrise. But in the 1830s, squatters began invading the region with their plagues of livestock. Colonization plunged Aboriginal society into utter chaos, driving us off our lands and decimating the traditional way of life. The traumas of the early colonial period remain carved deeply into the country and its people. But because of our ancestors' struggles, their fierce resistance, their unyielding determination to survive, we are still here. Clouded by the great conspiracy of silence, the dominant myth of peaceful settlement, and the proliferation of Eurocentric narratives touting the achievements of explorers and pastoral pioneers, our people's remarkable history of resistance and survival during the first few decades of the occupation has faded into obscurity. It is their story which this book sets out to reclaim, co-opting the colonial archive and subverting the colonial narrative, deconstructing their story in order to uncover our own.

Download or read book Nothing in MoMA written by Abraham Adams and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2018-09-22 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing in MoMA is a series of photographs captured in areas of Manhattan museums in which there are no artworks, written words, or people. Addressing the "grammar that organizes and secures our scene of looking," in the words of art historian David Joselit's introduction, the book imagines a composite empty museum or a narrative of marginal attention. Originally displayed in partial prototype as a children's board book at Artists Space in 2015, Nothing in MoMA is here collected for the first time in the series' entirety. Evoking the history of indeterminacy as much as that of institutional critique, the deadpan composition of Adams's photographs likewise recalls François Jullien's theory of bland aesthetics, in a playful reductio of socio-institutional space to a bare literality. Both a visual essay on museum phenomenology and a performance document, Nothing in MoMA describes a choreography of avoidance, in which a conceptual constraint becomes a means of seeing and navigating concrete space.
