Book Synopsis The Circle of the Snake by : Grafton Tanner
Download or read book The Circle of the Snake written by Grafton Tanner and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-11 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shocked by 9/11, the Great Recession, digital anxiety, and ecological collapse, the West suffers from nostalgia. People everywhere yearn for a utopian version of the past that never existed. Desperate for relief, many long to escape from the present. Some will stop at nothing to achieve it. In his essential new book, Grafton Tanner, author of Babbling Corpse: Vaporwave and the Commodification of Ghosts, argues that our nostalgia today is partly a consequence of the attention economy. At a time when historical literacy is crucial, and old prejudices are percolating into the present, Big Tech’s predictive algorithms are locking us into nostalgic feedback loops. The result is a precarious society with its gaze fixed on the good old days. Spanning from the ancient Sophists to Black Mirror, The Circle of the Snake is at once a reckoning with the myth of digital utopia and an incisive analysis of nostalgia as a weapon to spread fascism.
Download or read book Babbling Corpse written by Grafton Tanner and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-24 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the age of global capitalism, vaporwave celebrates and undermines the electronic ghosts haunting the nostalgia industry. Ours is a time of ghosts in machines, killing meaning and exposing the gaps inherent in the electronic media that pervade our lives. Vaporwave is an infant musical micro-genre that foregrounds the horror of electronic media's ability to appear - as media theorist Jeffrey Sconce terms it - "haunted." Experimental musicians such as INTERNET CLUB and MACINTOSH PLUS manipulate Muzak and commercial music to undermine the commodification of nostalgia in the age of global capitalism while accentuating the uncanny properties of electronic music production. Babbling Corpse reveals vaporwave's many intersections with politics, media theory, and our present fascination with uncanny, co(s)mic horror. The book is aimed at those interested in global capitalism's effect on art, musical raids on mainstream "indie" and popular music, and anyone intrigued by the changing relationship between art and commerce.

But luckily Deontay escapes the hail of gun fire unscaved... The next day in broad daylight, Deontay murders Black in cold blood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In some circles things sometimes just don't feel right because they aren't! This book is about REAL CONSPIRACY not "theory" - actual EVIL occurring every day in America. The stuff you always read about hidden in the shadows is TRUE. All of the events in this book actually happened. I know, because they happened to me and it's my story. This is a manual on how to stop Government Gang Stalking. It's reference for anyone experiencing any type of organized stalking. If you or someone you know is a victim then this manual was written for you. Only through education can we stop these insidious government activities and black projects. "Most people in the world do not care to be anarchists nor revolutionists and neither do I. However, sometimes our lots in life choose us rather than we choose our lots in life. So, when someone wants to make that choice for us, we must act. The system is broken - bent on ruling the world and controlling the population. It's up to us to free ourselves. - Bobby T
Download or read book Snake written by Drake Stutesman and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2005-11-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A snake smells with its tongue, hears with its flesh, and breathes under the sand with one lung; it can copulate for days with one snake or with fifty at once; it has infrared radar; and it can induce spontaneous bleeding if threatened. With all these qualities, it is easy to see how snakes have such varied associations in cultures around the world: while celebrated in tattoos and tales, and for medicinal benefits, snakes are also so universally feared that they constantly endure intense persecution and rarely enjoy protected rights. Drake Stutesman explores here in Snake the fascinating natural history of the maligned serpentine. Stutesman examines a wide range of sources to investigate the complex and widespread symbolism the snake has inspired, including the serpent's temptation of Eve in the Bible, Kaa in The Jungle Book, the Chinese zodiac, Indian snake charmers, and the Hollywood film Anaconda. She looks at the role snakes have played in human culture and science, from snake cuisine and the use of venom in medicine to the intriguing history of snake symbolism in art, architecture, cinema, and even clothing. Richly illustrated and written in an engaging style, Snake is an invaluable resource for snake enthusiasts and scholars, as well as for all who love, admire, or fear this fascinating and enduring animal.

Download or read book Snake Circle written by Roberta Sykes and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2000-06-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Snake Circle is the final book of Roberta Sykes' Snake Dreaming trilogy. Snake Circle draws the remarkable Snake Dreaming trilogy to a close as we accompany Sykes on the final stage of her journey - this time to Harvard University. It is a vivid recounting of Sykes' experience as the first Australian Black to graduate with a doctorate, and of her growing confidence as she thrives in the new environment of Harvard. It also passionately tells of her relationships with those she loves, such as MumShirl and her children, and the ongoing run-ins she has with the bureaucracy and politicians along the way. A moving and exuberant conclusion to a story that began as a tale of brutalisation. WHAT THE CRITICS SAID ABOUT SNAKE CRADLE AND SNAKE DANCING: 'Snake Cradle and Snake Dancing are enough to suggest that Sykes' three-volume memoir may well become an Australian classic.' - Sun-Herald 'Once begun, readers should be made aware that Snake Dancing is the kind of book which tugs at you to read it quickly. Once read, it is sure to stay long with us.' - Canberra Times 'It is a testament to the writing as much as to her life that the reader becomes so immersed in the story of Roberta Sykes. It is a story every Australian should read.' - Anne Summers, The Age 'Roberta. that you not only survived but triumphed is an incredible tribute to you and the human spirit.' - David Suzuki 'Reading Roberta Sykes is to be engaged by a great tale and by an uncompromisingly fine writer.' - Janine Burke, The Age

Download or read book Minoan Signs written by GJK Campbell-Dunn and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Minoan Linear Signs have now been explained as Niger-Congo. And some twenty five full words have been related to Fula. Problematic words of Greek have also been given tentative African etymologies. A new African language, four thousand years old, has come to light in the Linear A documents. So we claim a decipherment, or at least the beginnings of a decipherment. Only time will give us a full solution. But we can say that the "e;unknown language"e; is no longer unknown. It is African.
