Download or read book Ozu written by Donald Richie and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1977-03-15 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Substantially the book that devotees of the director have been waiting for: a full-length critical work about Ozu's life, career and working methods, buttressed with reproductions of pages from his notebooks and shooting scripts, numerous quotes from co-workers and Japanese critics, a great many stills and an unusually detailed filmography."—Sight and Sound Yasujiro Ozu, the man whom his kinsmen consider the most Japanese for all film directors, had but one major subject, the Japanese family, and but one major theme, its dissolution. The Japanese family in dissolution figures in every one of his fifty-three films. In his later pictures, the whole world exists in one family, the characters are family members rather than members of a society, and the ends of the earth seem no more distant than the outside of the house.

Book excerpt: ¿Cuántas veces te has encontrado con historias de conspiración en el internet? ¿O esa historia misteriosa sobre el parque de tu vecindario? ¿O peligros que acechan ciertos productos? ¿Te sientes intrigado? Entonces sigue leyendo… “Todos los mitos y todos los sueños tienen algo en común, y es que todos ellos están escritos en el mismo idioma, el lenguaje simbólico.” - Erich Fromm Estas leyendas suelen ir acompañadas de afirmaciones como ”No sé tú, pero yo no volveré a comprar en Wal-Mart nunca más”, ”No puedo creer que el Congreso se salga con la suya”; o “No sé si esto es cierto, pero por si acaso…”. En algún momento de la vida, casi todo el mundo ha caído en una leyenda urbana. ¿Cuántas personas creyeron de niños que los mentos y los refrescos explotaban en sus estómagos? ¿Cuántos creyeron que un establecimiento de Kentucky Fried Chicken sirvió una vez una rata frita? ¿Qué impulsa a esa persona a comunicar estas historias a otros? ¿Qué es lo que hace que estas historias proliferen en la sociedad? ¿Por qué algunas sobreviven a años de escrutinio? En este libro podrás encontrar las respuestas a estas preguntas. Empezando por una investigación profunda para explicar la respuesta humana. En este libro, descubrirás: Las razones detrás de porque las personas siguen creyendo en leyendas urbanas. Exploramos modelos de teoría social y epidemiología para ayudar a explicar por qué las leyendas urbanas se extienden y perduran a pesar de un escrutinio fulminante de su razón de ser y su verdad. La relación estrecha entre las leyendas urbanas y la teoría del rumor. Todo sobre los memes y la selección emocional. Cultura, sociedad, folklore y leyendas urbanas. Y mucho más… Las leyendas urbanas son una forma popular de folclore moderno en la sociedad actual. Suelen ser intrigantes historias de desgracias y fechorías corporativas con detalles espantosos que excitan -y a veces incitan- a su público. Si en el pasado se recurre al rumor de boca en boca, en la era electrónica actual existen diversos métodos de comunicación instantánea que permiten llegar a un público más amplio. Estas leyendas suelen adornarse y adaptarse a una región o situación concreta. El estudio de las características comunes de las leyendas urbanas ayuda a desglosar estos relatos en componentes específicos para explicar por qué se cree en una historia y por qué las leyendas urbanas tienden a soportar la doble prueba del tiempo y la razón. ¡No esperes más! Si eres apasionado de la teoría social y aficionado a las leyendas urbanas ¡este libro es lo que has estado buscando! ¡Desplaza hacia arriba y agrega al carrito!

Book Synopsis The Vengeful Djinn by : Rosemary Ellen Guiley
Download or read book The Vengeful Djinn written by Rosemary Ellen Guiley and published by Llewellyn Worldwide. This book was released on 2011-07-08 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you fear one thing in life, fear the djinn. This groundbreaking book presents the findings of Rosemary Ellen Guiley and Philip J. Imbrogno's investigation into the powerful and mysterious interdimensional beings known as djinn or genies. It reveals what the djinn are, where they can be found—and their hidden agenda against the human race. Working with material compiled from a variety of sources—including their own case files, Middle Eastern lore, the Qur'an, teachings of Islamic scholars, and the latest theories in quantum physics—the authors explore the relationship between the djinn, demons, fairies, shadow people, and extraterrestrials. They discuss the military's interest in these clandestine beings, offer eyewitness accounts of modern human encounters with the djinn, and reveal the location of interdimensional entry points in North America.
Book Synopsis Colonial Tropes and Postcolonial Tricks by : Lesley Wylie
Download or read book Colonial Tropes and Postcolonial Tricks written by Lesley Wylie and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a new reading of the Spanish-American novela de la selva genre, often interpreted as a belated imitation of European travel literature. Arguing against the commonly held opinion of the genre’s derivative nature, Colonial Tropes and Postcolonial Tricks examines how novela de la selva fiction reimagined the tropics from a Latin American perspective and redefined tropical landscape aesthetics and ethnography through parodic rewritings of European perspectives. Analyzing four emblematic novels of the genre, this book considers the crucial place of the jungle as a locus for the contestation of national and literary identity by post-independence Latin American writers.
Book Synopsis Emotion and the Arts by : Mette Hjort
Download or read book Emotion and the Arts written by Mette Hjort and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997-09-04 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only work of its kind, this exciting collection assembles a number of analytically minded philosophers, psychologists, and literary theorists, all of whom seek to provide fine-grained accounts of critical problems having to do with emotion and art. How best to explain emotions produced by works of art? What goes on when we feel emotion for an abstract art such as music? How is it that we can intelligibly feel emotion for persons and situations that we know are fictional? What is involved in our empathic experience of negative emotion through the art of tragedy? A strongly interdisciplinary volume that captures the richness of current debates about the role of agency in human emotional response, this collection also considers the influence of culture on emotion and demonstrates that cognitivist and social- constructivist perspectives need not be antagonistic and may actually work together in a complementary way. Essays cluster under four rubrics--"The Paradox of Fiction", "Emotion and its Expression through Art", "The Rationality of Emotional Responses to Art", and "The Value of Emotion"--and together they address questions of emotion in film, painting, music, dance, literature, and theater. With new work by leading thinkers in the field of aesthetics, and drawing upon state of the art scholarship from areas such as cognitive science, literary studies, and contemporary ethics, Emotion and the Arts is essential reading for those who study aesthetics, literature, theories of emotion, and the mind.

Book Synopsis Reflections on Human Development by : Mahbub ul Haq
Download or read book Reflections on Human Development written by Mahbub ul Haq and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1995-08-17 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work explores a new development paradigm whose central focus is on human well-being. Increase in income is treated as an essential means, but not as the end of development, and certainly not as the sum of human life. Development policies and strategies are discussed which link economic growth with human lives in various societies. The book also analyzes the evolution of a new Human Development Index which is a far more comprehensive measure of socio-economic progress of nations than the traditional measure of Gross National Product. For the first time, a Political Freedom Index is also presented. The book offers a new vision of human security for the twenty-first century where real security is equated with security of people in their homes, their jobs, their communities, and their environment. The book discusses many concrete proposals in this context, including a global compact to overcome the worst aspects of global poverty within a decade, key reforms in the Bretton Woods institutions of World Bank and IMF, and establishment of a new Economic Security Council within the United Nations.
