Book Synopsis “Angel-Vision Vs Television” by : Benjamin Lee Vince
Download or read book “Angel-Vision Vs Television” written by Benjamin Lee Vince and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-07-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book in my new Goliath Awaits Series. Angel-Vision VS Television is a psychoanalysis study of neurosis relating to the progressive change in the thought pattern as well as the nature of man based upon the theory of Psychosis, a mental disorder marked by the loss of contact with reality. Neurosis is defined as impulsive mental disorders. This author will challenge these supportive titles to prove the world is suffering from this disease in one form or another, caused by the continual consumption of negative, immoral, and meaningless performances, creating compulsive changes within the heart, which has removed man from the world of reality and placed him into a would of fantasies. David and Goliath offer a great cast of character shadows and symbolic impersonations relating to each of our lives today. My credentials: fifty years of apostolic studies. I feel privileged to pen these intellectual objectives, transforming their shadows into reality for the era of today. Come with me now as we read aboutThe Weapon of Mass-Distraction. Born in western Kentucky, Benjamin Lee Vince, not knowing it was the move of God, relocated to Pontiac, Michigan in 1952 where he began a career in 1962 in the ministry under the personal teaching ministry of the late Bishop L.A. Parent, and after acquiring a journeyman status in the tooling industry, and because of a sagging economy, in 1971 he returned to his home State. Later in life, to fulfill his calling, he created The Goliath Awaits book series of which three are now in print. This is book One. Revised & edited.

Book Synopsis Seers, Witches and Psychics on Screen by : Karin Beeler
Download or read book Seers, Witches and Psychics on Screen written by Karin Beeler and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the pervasive representation of women with unique visionary abilities in postfeminist television series and films from the 1990s to the present. These women mediate between the living and the dead or between different worlds of experience, redefining what it means to be "normal" and challenging the traditional boundary between science and the inner world of visionary, mystical experience. Part 1 includes a discussion of modern-day Cassandra figures, including the witches and other "seers" of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Charmed, Hex, and Tru Calling. Part 2 discusses modern television shows whose main characters represent a contemporary spin on Joan of Arc, including Joan of Arcadia and the short-lived Wonderfalls. Finally, Part 3 investigates female mediums and other "psychic detectives" in reality television series such as Psychic Investigators and Rescue Mediums; the popular television dramas Medium, Ghost Whisperer, and Afterlife; and contemporary films such as Ghost, The Gift, and Premonition.

Book Synopsis Envisioning Socialism by : Heather Gumbert
Download or read book Envisioning Socialism written by Heather Gumbert and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2018-05-09 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Envisioning Socialism examines television and the power it exercised to define the East Germans’ view of socialism during the first decades of the German Democratic Republic. In the first book in English to examine this topic, Heather L. Gumbert traces how television became a medium prized for its communicative and entertainment value. She explores the difficulties GDR authorities had defining and executing a clear vision of the society they hoped to establish, and she explains how television helped to stabilize GDR society in a way that ultimately worked against the utopian vision the authorities thought they were cultivating. Gumbert challenges those who would dismiss East German television as a tool of repression that couldn’t compete with the West or capture the imagination of East Germans. Instead, she shows how, by the early 1960s, television was a model of the kind of socialist realist art that could appeal to authorities and audiences. Ultimately, this socialist vision was overcome by the challenges that the international market in media products and technologies posed to nation-building in the postwar period. A history of ideas and perceptions examining both real and mediated historical conditions, Envisioning Socialism considers television as a technology, an institution, and a medium of social relations and cultural knowledge. The book will be welcomed in undergraduate and graduate courses in German and media history, the history of postwar Socialism, and the history of science and technologies.

Book Synopsis Syndicated Television by : Hal Erickson
Download or read book Syndicated Television written by Hal Erickson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2024-10-09 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is an excellent reference book on "first run" syndication--the distribution of programs either made exclusively for non-network play, or of programs intended for network telecasts but ultimately making their debuts in syndication. Bringing together information not easily found, this work covers the classics such as Sea Hunt, Highway Patrol, The Merv Griffin Show and the Muppet Show, as well as such once-popular but now obscure productions as China Smith, Ripcord and The Littlest Hobo. Coverage goes back to 1947 and the book includes a number of series ignored in other works. The first section is an overview of the concept of syndication from its earliest application in the newspaper world to the attempt by Fox Television to become a fourth network. The next four sections each cover ten years of syndication, listing the shows (with full background--who produced them and why, who liked them and why, etc.) alphabetically by title under the following genres: Adventure/Mystery, Children's, Comedy, Drama, Game/Quiz, Informational, Music/Variety, Religious, Sports, Talk/Interview, Travel/Documentary, Westerns, and Women's.
Book Synopsis Against Transmission by : Timothy Barker
Download or read book Against Transmission written by Timothy Barker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Against Transmission Barker rethinks the history of audio-visual media as a history of analytical instruments. Rather than viewing media history as the commonly told story of synthetic media (media that make a new whole from connecting separate parts), by focusing on the analytical function of mediation Against Transmission is able to focus on the way that media that have historically been used to count, measure and analyse experience still continue to provide the condition for contemporary life. By studying the engineering of transmission, transduction and storage through the prism of process philosophy, the book interrogates how the understanding of media-as-machine may offer new ways to describe a particular phenomenological relationship to the world, asking: what can the hardware of machines that segment information into very small elements tell us about experiences of time, memory and history? This book investigates the technical architecture of media such as television, computers, cameras, and cinematography. It achieves this through in-depth archive research into the history of the development of media technology, including innovative readings of key concepts from philosophers of media such as Harold A. Innis, Marshall McLuhan, Friedrich Kittler, Siegfried Zielinski and Wolfgang Ernst. Teaming philosophical inquiry with thorough technical and historical analysis, in a broad range of international case studies, from early experimental cinema and television to contemporary media art and innovative hardware developments, Barker shows how the technical discoveries made in these contexts have engineered the experiences of time in contemporary media culture.
Book Synopsis Electric Seeing by : Charlotte Klink
Download or read book Electric Seeing written by Charlotte Klink and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2022-08-31 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the subject of video? Charlotte Klink traces the development of electromagnetism in the pursuit of »Electric Seeing« that emerged in the 19th century as well as its curious relation to psychoanalysis and the contemporary discovery of the structure of the human psyche. In doing so, she exposes how this development laid the foundation of what we know today as »video«. This comprehensive theory of video entails a discussion of the technological, historical, and etymological roots, the media-theoretical concepts of medium and index, the philosophical and art-theoretical environment in which video emerged in the 1960s, the psychoanalytic concept of the phantasm, and artworks by artists such as Yael Bartana, Hito Steyerl, and Bjørn Melhus.

Book excerpt: While the discoveries of scientists have provided vital knowledge which has made innovation possible, it is more often than not the amateur who enjoys the "eureka moment" when an invention works for the first time.
