Book Synopsis The Mouse and the Myth by : Dorene Koehler
Download or read book The Mouse and the Myth written by Dorene Koehler and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-24 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upholds “a Disney vacation as a religious experience . . . [offers] insightful arguments relating to the nature of play as well as Nietzschean philosophy” (Reading Religion). Rituals mark significant moments in our lives—perhaps none more significant than moments of lightheartedness, joy, and play. Rituals of play are among the most sacred of any of the rites in which humanity may engage. Although we may fail to recognize them, they are always present in culture, providing a kind of psychological release for their participants, child and adult alike. Disneyland is an example of the kind of container necessary for the construction of rituals of play. This work explores the original Disney theme park in Anaheim as a temple cult. It challenges the disciplines of mythological studies, religious studies, film studies, and depth psychology to broaden traditional definitions of the kind of cultural apparatus that constitute temple culture and ritual. It does so by suggesting that Hollywood’s entertainment industry has developed a platform for mythic ritual. After setting the ritualized “stage,” this book turns to the practices in Disneyland proper, analyzing the patron’s traditions within the framework of the park and beyond. It explores Disneyland’s spectacles, through selected shows and parades, and concludes with an exploration of the park’s participation in ritual renewal. “There is much to commend in Koehler’s study . . . Surely, her work should encourage others to examine myth construction and sacred-secular rituals in popular culture.”—H-Celebration

Book Synopsis The Great Pheromone Myth by : Richard L. Doty
Download or read book The Great Pheromone Myth written by Richard L. Doty and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mammalian pheromones, audiomones, visuomones, and snarks—Richard Doty argues that they all belong in the same category: objects of imagination. For more than 50 years, researchers—including many prominent scientists—have identified pheromones as the triggers for a wide range of mammalian behaviors and endocrine responses. In this provocative book, renowned olfaction expert Richard L. Doty rejects this idea and states bluntly that, in contrast to insects, mammals do not have pheromones. Doty systematically debunks the claims and conclusions of studies that purport to reveal the existence of mammalian pheromones. He demonstrates that there is no generally accepted scientific definition of what constitutes a mammalian pheromone and that attempts to divide stimuli and complex behaviors into pheromonal and nonpheromonal categories have primarily failed. Doty's controversial assertion belies a continued fascination with the pheromone concept, numerous claims of its chemical isolation, and what he sees as the wasted expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars by industry and government. The Great Pheromone Myth directly challenges ideas about the role chemicals play in mammalian behavior and reproductive processes. It is a must-have reference for biologists, psychologists, neuroscientists, and readers interested in animal behavior, ecology, and evolution.
Book Synopsis Mythology of the Blackfoot Indians by : Clark Wissler
Download or read book Mythology of the Blackfoot Indians written by Clark Wissler and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mythology of the Blackfoot Indians, originally published in 1908 by the American Museum of Natural History, introduces such figures as Old Man, Scar-Face, Blood-Clot, and the Seven Brothers. Included are tales with ritualistic origins emphasizing the prototypical Beaver-Medicine and the roles played by Elk-Woman and Otter-Woman, and a presentation of Star Myths, which reveal the astronomical knowledge of the Blackfoot Indians. Narratives about Raven, Grasshopper, and Whirlwind-Boy account for conditions in humanity and nature. Many of the stories in the concluding group-like "The Lost Children" and "The Ghost-Woman"-were tales told to Blackfoot children. Clark Wissler notes that these narratives were collected very early in the twentieth century from the Piegans in Montana and from the North Piegans, Bloods, and Northern Blackfoot in Canada. Most were translated by D. C. Duvall and revised for Mythology of the Blackfoot Indians by Wissler. Wissler (1870-1947) was curator at the American Museum of Natural History and chairman of the Department of Anthropology at Columbia University. Among his major works are North American Indians of the Plains and Man and Culture. Introducing this Bison Book edition is Alice B. Kehoe, a professor of sociology and anthropology at Marquette University and the author of North American Indians: A Comprehensive Account.

Download or read book A Macabre Myth of a Moth-Man written by Brad Fear and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WATCH OUT... THIS AIN'T GONNA BE PRETTY... Meet Moth: he's half his namesake and half social misfit. Moth's been pretty ticked off. A year ago sciencey people locked him in a lab, stuck needles in him and shone lights in his eyes. He wasn't very happy about this, so now him and his mate 'Ozzy' (a quite unpleasant chap of green skin, yellow eyes and lots of teeth) are out for good ol' fashioned retribution. Meet Nina. She's a barmaid and wants to work with animals. Nina's been roped into helping some friends with their amateur 'Moth-man' documentary. Of course, she doesn't believe in such silly myths, but she needs something to take her mind off her ex-boyfriend. Unluckily for Nina, her world is about to be blown apart by the ugly-as-sin truth... Looks like Moth and Nina have got enough on their plates... and that's not including the gas-mask wearing cult, the ticking, blade-fingered robot or the old man with the crows flying around him... 'A MACABRE MYTH OF A MOTH-MAN' is the debut novel of author Brad Fear: a union of urban fantasy and noir, chronicling the tale of a seemingly clueless insect detective.
Book Synopsis Man and the Liver from Myth to Science by : Robert D. Cohen
Download or read book Man and the Liver from Myth to Science written by Robert D. Cohen and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man and the Liver describes the development of man’s thinking about the role of the liver, from early times to the present. It considers both culinary and religious uses of the liver and describes the author’s contacts with distinguished scientists who have shaped his thinking. The book discusses many aspects of normal liver structure and function and how these are affected when diseased. It is written to provide scientific information – not as a textbook, but many sections could be used by those studying this field. The topics covered, including some mathematics, can be followed by anyone who has studied science at senior school level. It will appeal to readers interested in human biology, and covers science, medicine, history, hepatology and gastroenterology. Man and the Liver is an interesting and unusual hybrid of these subjects and the personalities involved. Author Robert is currently Emeritus Professor of Medicine at the University of London.
