Download or read book Equipment for Living written by George Stade and published by Pari Publishing (USA). This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equipment for Living takes us on a lively romp through the modern movement, from high literature to hardboiled detective and horror fiction. Novelist and literary critic, George Stade challenges us with his controversial contention that "womanism" has triumphed over "manism," and his wit flies with a rip-roaring excursion into "snot, navel-fluff, and toe jam" in an examination of James Joyce's Ulysses. He ranges from Dracula's women to Sylvia Plath, modern British fiction to football and aggression. This collection has been selected from more than fifty articles, reviews and essays written by George Stade and first published in journals such as Partisan Review, Hudson Review, Harper's, and the New York Times Book Review.

Download or read book Tarnished Heroes, Charming Villains and Modern Monsters written by Lynnette Porter and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The heroes, villains, and monsters portrayed in such popular science fiction television series as Heroes, Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Caprica, Doctor Who, and Torchwood, as well as Joss Whedon's many series, illustrate a shift from traditional, clearly defined characterizations toward much murkier definitions. Traditional heroes give way to "gray" heroes who must become more like the villains or monsters they face if they are going to successfully save society. This book examines the ambiguous heroes and villains, focusing on these characters' different perspectives on morality and their roles within society. Appendices include production details for each series, descriptions and summaries of pivotal episodes, and a list of selected texts for classroom use. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

Download or read book Cryptid Tourism written by Sara Brooke Christian and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-08-07 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monster hunting is more than just going out into the woods or hanging out in graveyards. The history and performance of monster hunting, from Alexander the Great to scientific expeditions of the Victorian era, can lead us directly to modern-day Bigfoot searches. Combining methods of scientific exploration with aspects of tourism theory demonstrates how monster-hunting is performative and, through an analysis tool called The Cryptid Tourist Gaze, this book examines how and why we go looking for monsters and the ways in which small towns celebrate the monsters that once haunted them. By looking at specific museums such as The North American Bigfoot Center and Expedition Bigfoot: The Sasquatch Museum as well as various festivals and conferences such as The Mothman Festival and the UFO Festival in Roswell, we can witness the ways modern monster-hunting practices are performed and see how much they have evolved from their predecessors. Through themes of liminality, community, and initiation, the performance of monster hunting through cryptid tourism allows both participants and observers to gain insight into why looking for monsters, proving their existence, and sharing experiences with other believers is so important.
