Download or read book Berlin Before the Wall written by Hsi-Huey Liang and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1950’s, Berlin had come under four-power occupation while still struggling to recover from the war. It had also become the object of a fierce ideological conflict between Stalinist Communism and capitalist democracy, between traditional German values and hopes for a new and better Europe. From these years, when the inhabitants of Germany’s Old Reich capital re-evaluated their past and tried to set their hopes for the future, comes the diary of an expatriate Chinese student, himself in search of a new spiritual homeland and as anxious to learn from the victors as from the vanquished. First published in 1990, Berlin Before the Wall is an account of life in Berlin recorded in the form of a diary and sketchbook kept by Hsi-Huey Liang, a young graduate student, while researching his dissertation in 1954. Capturing a pivotal moment of the Cold War, Liang provides a wealth of detail about a city that has been the subject of enduring fascination. As a historical document, the diary records the political events of the time with an engaging style and compelling immediacy. As a sketchbook, it captures the rhythms of the city, with its witty pencil drawings of people, places, and events. Liang’s pencil moves with ease and intelligence from street cleaners to diplomats, and his drawings exhibit not only an extraordinary sensitivity but are also astonishing in their sheer variety and keen insight into the culture of Berlin. This book will be a fascinating read for anyone interested in the Cold War period, student life, and all things German.

Download or read book The Eloquent Screen written by Gilberto Perez and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lifetime of cinematic writing culminates in this breathtaking statement on film’s unique ability to move us Cinema is commonly hailed as “the universal language,” but how does it communicate so effortlessly across cultural and linguistic borders? In The Eloquent Screen, influential film critic Gilberto Perez makes a capstone statement on the powerful ways in which film acts on our minds and senses. Drawing on a lifetime’s worth of viewing and re-viewing, Perez invokes a dizzying array of masters past and present—including Chaplin, Ford, Kiarostami, Eisenstein, Malick, Mizoguchi, Haneke, Hitchcock, and Godard—to explore the transaction between filmmaker and audience. He begins by explaining how film fits into the rhetorical tradition of persuasion and argumentation. Next, Perez explores how film embodies the central tropes of rhetoric––metaphor, metonymy, allegory, and synecdoche––and concludes with a thrilling account of cinema’s spectacular capacity to create relationships of identification with its audiences. Although there have been several attempts to develop a poetics of film, there has been no sustained attempt to set forth a rhetoric of film—one that bridges aesthetics and audience. Grasping that challenge, The Eloquent Screen shows how cinema, as the consummate contemporary art form, establishes a thoroughly modern rhetoric in which different points of view are brought into clear focus.

Book excerpt: In the midst of the Great Depression, an elite group of New Yorkers lived seemingly unaffected by the economic calamity. They were writers, playwrights, journalists, artists, composers, singers, actors, adventurers and socialites. Newspaperman Maury Paul dubbed them the Cafe Society. It was the time of Prohibition, speakeasies and exclusive nightclubs for the smart set to see and be seen.

This book describes the emergence of Cafe Society from New York's old society families, and the rise of the new creative class.
