Book Synopsis Sposerò Gary Barlow by : Luisa Cartei
Download or read book Sposerò Gary Barlow written by Luisa Cartei and published by Lastaria Edizioni. This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: È l’estate del 1993, Alice ha quindici anni ed è ancora acerba. E per lei essere acerba è diventata una colpa. Alice non ha le mestruazioni. Alice non può dire parolacce. Alice non può crescere. Alice non può amare, se non un volto in un poster, che non potrà mai deluderla. Il volto è quello di Gary Barlow: il “grasso” dei Take That. Tra la ritardata femminilità, una madre che indossa solo fuseaux leopardati e le verifiche a sorpresa della professoressa Sferzaferri, Alice si avventura come un personaggio di Mark Twain tra i pericoli di reggiseni imbottiti, gli improbabili inseguimenti ai Take That e la cotta per il compagno di scuola. Un romanzo che rappresenta un’epoca, passando attraverso la musica, l’amore e anche il cancro, abilmente raccontata dalla penna spontanea, tagliente-comica di Luisa Cartei, che dietro alla festosità del tutto ci fa intravedere sempre profonde verità. Luisa Cartei è una copywriter con diciassette anni di esperienza in pubblicità. Ha vissuto tra Londra, San Francisco, Milano e Sydney, lavorando per le maggiori agenzie pubblicitarie internazionali. È blogger, mamma e surfista accanita. Vive a Bondi, in Australia, il suo paese di adozione. È cresciuta negli anni Novanta ascoltando i Take That e il suo sogno segreto (ormai non più segreto) è quello di sposare Gary Barlow. Il suo consiglio per l’umanità è quello di non smettere di sognare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At 15, Alice's period has not yet arrived. She feels like she will never be a woman. Her friends stuff her bra with cotton balls, her mother forces her to wear improbable outfits to look more womanly and her father uses her to promote his anti-smoking campaign outside school, which makes her the nerdiest girl in town. Alice isn't ready to love someone real, so falls in love with a man on a poster, a man she can't disappoint: Gary Barlow, the 'fat one' of Take That - because not even in her dreams could she be cool enough for Robbie. She will go to extreme lengths to meet him. On this journey, she will make new friends - fans and groupies of the 90s, the 'little people' whose jobs became relevant only during the Boy Band Era and other picturesque characters - until she manages to make her dreams come true - or does she?

Download or read book Second sight written by Catherine Maxwell and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-18 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This challenging and important study, which examines a range of canonical and less well-known writers, is an innovative reassessment of late Victorian literature in its relation to visionary Romanticism. It examines six late Victorian writers - Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Walter Pater, Vernon Lee, Eugene Lee-Hamilton, Theodore Watts-Dunton and Thomas Hardy - to reveal their commitment to a Romantic visionary tradition which surface towards the end of the nineteenth century in response to the threat of growing materialism. Offering detailed and imaginative readings of both poetry and prose, Second Sight shows the different ways in which late Victorian writers move beyond materiality, without losing a commitment to it, to explore the mysterious relation between the seen and the unseen. A major re-evaluation of the post-Romantic visionary imagination, with implications for our understanding of literary modernism, Second Sight will be required reading for scholars interested in the literature of the late Victorian period.

Download or read book Cultural Software written by J. M. Balkin and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book J. M. Balkin offers a strikingly original theory of cultural evolution, a theory that explains shared understandings, disagreement, and diversity within cultures. Drawing on many fields of study--including anthropology, evolutionary theory, cognitive science, linguistics, sociology, political theory, philosophy, social psychology, and law--the author explores how cultures grow and spread, how shared understandings arise, and how people of different cultures can understand and evaluate each other's views. Cultural evolution occurs through the transmission of cultural information and know-how--cultural software--in human minds, Balkin says. Individuals embody cultural software and spread it to others through communication and social learning. Ideology, the author contends, is neither a special nor a pathological form of thought but an ordinary product of the evolution of cultural software. Because cultural understanding is a patchwork of older imperfect tools that are continually adapted to solve new problems, human understanding is partly adequate and partly inadequate to the pursuit of justice. Balkin presents numerous examples that illuminate the sources of ideological effects and their contributions to injustice. He also enters the current debate over multiculturalism, applying his theory to problems of mutual understanding between people who hold different worldviews. He argues that cultural understanding presupposes transcendent ideals and shows how both ideological analysis of others and ideological self-criticism are possible.

Book Synopsis Echographies of Television by : Jacques Derrida
Download or read book Echographies of Television written by Jacques Derrida and published by Polity. This book was released on 2002-08-02 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important new book, Jacques Derrida talks with Bernard Stiegler about the effect of teletechnologies on our philosophical and political moment. Improvising before a camera, the two philosophers are confronted by the very technologies they discuss and so are forced to address all the more directly the urgent questions that they raise. What does it mean to speak of the present in a situation of "live" recording? How can we respond, responsibly, to a question when we know that the so-called "natural" conditions of expression, discussion, reflection, and deliberation have been breached? As Derrida and Stiegler discuss the role of teletechnologies in modern society, the political implications of Derrida's thought become apparent. Drawing on recent events in Europe, Derrida and Stiegler explore the impact of television and the internet on our understanding of the state, its borders and citizenship. Their discussion examines the relationship between the juridical and the technical, and it shows how new technologies for manipulating and transmitting images have influenced our notions of democracy, history and the body. The book opens with a shorter interview with Derrida on the news media, and closes with a provocative essay by Stiegler on the epistemology of digital photography. In Echographies of Television, Derrida and Stiegler open up questions that are of key social and political importance. Their book will be of great interest to all those already familiar with Derrida's work, as well as to students and scholars of philosophy, literature, sociology and media studies.
