Download or read book Myth of the Western written by Carter Matthew Carter and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-17 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the nature of the relationship between the Hollywood Western and American frontier mythology? How have Western films helped develop cultural and historical perceptions, attitudes and beliefs towards the frontier? Is there still a place for the genre in light of revisionist histories of the American West?Myth of the Western re-invigorates the debate surrounding the relationship between the Western and frontier mythology, arguing for the importance of the genre's socio-cultural, historical and political dimensions. Taking a number of critical-theoretical and philosophical approaches, Matthew Carter applies them to prominent forms of frontier historiography. He also considers the historiographic element of the Western by exploring the different ways in which the genre has responded to the issues raised by the frontier. Carter skilfully argues that the genre has - and continues to reveal - the complexities and contradictions at the heart of US society. With its clear analyses of and intellectual challenges to the film scholarship that has developed around the Western over a 65-year period, this book adds new depth to our understanding of specific film texts and of the genre as a whole - a welcome resource for students and scholars in both Film Studies and American Studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In her astonishing thriller, Sarah Sparrow has joined the ranks of Shirley Jackson and Stephen King. A warning: there is no safe place to read this book." –David Cronenberg Terrifying, thoroughly original and hauntingly written, A Guide for Murdered Children is a psychological thriller—and otherworldly surprise. We’ve heard it said that there is no justice in this world. But what if there really was? What if the souls of murdered children were able to briefly return, inhabit adult bodies and wreak revenge on the monstrous killers who stole their lives? Such is the unthinkable mystery confronting ex-NYPD detective Willow Wylde, fresh out of rehab and finally able to find a job running a Cold Case squad in suburban Detroit. When the two rookie cops assigned to him take an obsessive interest in a decades-old disappearance of a brother and sister, Willow begins to suspect something out of the ordinary is afoot. And when he uncovers a series of church basement AA-type meetings made up of the slain innocents, a new way of looking at life, death, murder—and missed opportunities—is revealed to him. Mystical, harrowing and powerfully moving, A Guide for Murdered Children is a genre-busting, mind-bending twist on the fine line between the ordinary… and the unfathomable.

Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE EDGAR AWARD WINNER OF THE PETER LOVESEY FIRST CRIME NOVEL CONTEST Friday Night Lights gone dark with Southern Gothic; Eli Cranor delivers a powerful noir that will appeal to fans of Wiley Cash and Megan Abbott. In Denton, Arkansas, the fate of the high school football team rests on the shoulders of Billy Lowe, a volatile but talented running back. Billy comes from an extremely troubled home: a trailer park where he is terrorized by his mother’s abusive boyfriend. Billy takes out his anger on the field, but when his savagery crosses a line, he faces suspension. Without Billy Lowe, the Denton Pirates can kiss their playoff bid goodbye. But the head coach, Trent Powers, who just moved from California with his wife and two children for this job, has more than just his paycheck riding on Billy’s bad behavior. As a born-again Christian, Trent feels a divine calling to save Billy—save him from his circumstances, and save his soul. Then Billy’s abuser is found murdered in the Lowe family trailer, and all evidence points toward Billy. Now nothing can stop an explosive chain of violence that could tear the whole town apart on the eve of the playoffs.

Download or read book The Tribe written by Joseph Deaton and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This road trip is a moving human record, tragic, poignant, and humorous. A true account, which follows an attempt to cope with changing culture where everything is being short-circuited. While appearing to be a simple tale there is hidden sophistication. It is a story of the first magnitude. The narrative swepts through history with camouflaged complexity. In places it is a dreadful miasama, filled with anger, bitterness and pain, from the physicist explanation of where humanity fits into the scheme of things, to the small Japanese child who ask repeatedly the strangers fleeing toward the River Plio after the bomb fell, “why is it dark again so early in the day.” Exploring the intersection between science, religion and culture, the reader is forced to think deeply as it interrupts the long communion of our own desires when we cannot refuse to accept some of its insights. With candor the tale takes one through the five stages of grief moving back and forth in time in a no holds barred fashion, told by the very people who lived it. Brace yourself for their passage into trouble is brutal and stark. The tribe is the remnants of a long line (the long column) of English Knights. Their solutions melt into a gripping tale that flows like a river into the heart of every person who has a family for every family has a tribe around it. A special touch of this tour de force is the haunting undercurrent of a search for love among ruins. P.S. The Tribe can be more fully understood as a part of a trilogy. The Life and Crimes of Bug Tussle is the second part. The trilogy was withdrawn in consideration for Angus Deatons after he was nominated for a Nobel prize for his work in economics.
Download or read book Faith Hope and Love in the Kingdom of God written by Robert Hernan Cubillos and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a world full of challenges. The three graces can almost be seen as motors for Christian life in today's world, but the words faith, hope, and love have so many everyday uses that their technical, theological meanings are, for many, difficult to appreciate. Modern life also leaves many yearning for authenticity and meaning. Many religions have answered that need by calling to mind the image of a path. Always profound progressions, religious paths tend to be motivated either by practices (the act of walking the path) or focal points. Christianity has a focal point, an object, and it sees the three graces as distinctively content filled. The heart of this book is about helping people find the Christian path and their intellectual, emotional, and spiritual balance--an equilibrium that is sustained by a strong personal faith, an enduring hope for the future, and genuine love that will withstand the worst of times. It contributes to the category of Christian literature that provides a pattern for Christian living without surrendering the intellect to the more popular side of this genre.
Download or read book Skiing the Guggenheim written by Ross A. McCoubrey and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I use the wall as the tapestry to weave together times throughout history. Carruthers informed me. We are, after all, connected. Don’t you think? By the gentle sweeping of a grandfather clock’s pendulum, Christmas returns each year to provide us with some of our happiest, and saddest, memories—the winter holidays binding people together in seemingly inexplicable ways, even when the threads are at their thinnest. Seawater creeps inside an overturned car as its trapped occupant shivers; a father sees his son for the first time in years; an anxious bride awaits her soldier’s homecoming; snow is wiped from the names on a tombstone; a dog learns the mystery of the universe; a hot-air balloon sails with a well-known nun accompanying a curmudgeon; an abandoned house feels its cobwebs pushed back by a familiar hand; a young man kneels before the love of his life. Tie these pieces together as you sit back in your favourite armchair with a mug of cocoa, or cozy up under a blanket by the fire, and ski all the way to the Guggenheim. A dog or cat by your side is - optional...but highly recommended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting a world of purposeless existence, of the pain of so-called reality, comes the angry and often-tormented voice of poet Dylan Helsdon.... From "Ha and a smile" - "You inhale the fabrications They breathe upon you and blow the truth off with a sigh, Can you see the end of the path Which has led you here? Can you see a foot in front of your azure eyes? Give them an inch of sight They will walk eleven more blind; The trail is a carnivore and inviting. About the Author: Dylan G. Helsdon is a Canadian who grew up in Topley, British Columbia, and now resides in Elkford. Though he has put pen to paper for more than twenty years, Line In is his first book of published writings. His motivation for Line In, he says, "was the naive and blind people who put security and material possessions above all things necessary."

Download or read book Bells Chiming from the Past written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand the characteristics of present-day English language and culture we must have some understanding of the earlier stages of language use. Bells Chiming from the Past investigates the early development of English and covers different aspects of English medieval studies, from traditional philological concerns, to the most recent perspectives of modern linguistics applied to early English texts. Most of the papers are based on empirical research in English Historical Linguistics, and will contribute substantially to our theoretical and descriptive understanding of English varieties, both written and spoken. The book focuses on the relationship and interaction of language and culture during the Middle English period. Some of the articles are clearly linguistically-oriented, but most could be included under a wider philological perspective since they study both language and the cultural milieu in which linguistic events took place. Bells Chiming from the Past is aimed at an international readership and makes a desirable addition to the field of Historical Linguistics, featuring as it does contributions from an array of well-known professionals from different academic and scientific institutions.

Download or read book Intertextual and Interdisciplinary Approaches to Cormac McCarthy written by Nicholas Monk and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-22 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection offers a fresh approach to the work of Cormac McCarthy, one of the most important contemporary American authors. Essays focus on his work across the genres and/or in constellation with other writers and artists, presenting not only a different "angle" on the work, but setting him within a broader literary and artistic context. Such an approach offers a view of McCarthy that is strikingly different to previous collections that have dealt with the work in an almost exclusively "single author" and/or "single genre" mode. McCarthy’s novels are increasingly regarded as amongst the most rich, the most complex, and the most insightful of all recent literary responses to prevailing conditions in both the USA and beyond, and this collection recognizes the intertextual and interdisciplinary nature of his work. Contributors draw back the curtain on some of McCarthy’s literary ancestors, revealing and analyzing some of the fiction’s key contemporary intertexts, and showing a complex and previously underestimated hinterland of influence. In addition, they look beyond the novel both to other genres in McCarthy’s oeuvre, and to the way these genres have influenced McCarthy’s writing.
Download or read book Terror and the Cinematic Sublime written by Todd A. Comer and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-01-30 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection considers film in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. Eleven essayists address Hollywood movies, indie film, and post-cinematic media, including theatrical films by directors such as Steven Spielberg, Darren Aronofsky, Quentin Tarantino and Spike Lee, and post-cinematic works by Wafaa Bilal, Douglas Gordon and Peter Tscherkassky, among others. All of the essays are written with an eye to what may be the central concept of our time, the sublime. The sublime--that which can be thought but not represented (the "unpresentable")--provides a ready tool for analyses of trauma, horror, catastrophe and apocalypse, the military-industrial complex, the end of humanism and the limits of freedom. Such essays take the pulse of our cultural moment, while also providing the reader with a sense of the nature of the sublime in critical work, and how it continues to evolve conceptually in the 21st century.
