Book Synopsis Arrested Development and Philosophy by : Kristopher G. Phillips
Download or read book Arrested Development and Philosophy written by Kristopher G. Phillips and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-12-20 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT AND PHILOSOPHY Is George Michael’s crush on his cousin unnatural? Is it immoral for Lindsay to lie about stealing clothes to hide her job? Is Gob better off living his life in bad faith? What inferences can we draw from Tobias’s double-entendres? Are the pictures really of bunkers or balls? The Bluth family’s faults, foibles, and character flaws are so excruciatingly familiar that we squirm in painful recognition of the outrageous impulses that we all have but would never act on. The Bluths seem utterly unaware of the gaping distance between their behavior and accepted social norms. Lurking behind this craziness are large moral and philosophical issues to be explored. From Plato to Aristotle, from Descartes to Marx, Arrested Development and Philosophy draws from great philosophical minds to shed new light on the show’s key questions and captivating themes, including the nature of self-knowledge and happiness, business ethics and capitalist alienation, social class, the role of error in character development, and much more.
Book Synopsis A State of Arrested Development by : Kristin M. Barton
Download or read book A State of Arrested Development written by Kristin M. Barton and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most critically-acclaimed television series of all time, Arrested Development is widely hailed as a cutting-edge comedy that broke the traditional sitcom mold. The winner of six Emmys, the series was canceled by Fox in 2006, only to be revived in 2013 via Netflix's streaming service. Beyond its innovative approach to storytelling, the series lampooned contemporary American culture, holding up an unflattering mirror to modern society. This collection of new essays explores how the show addressed issues such as wealth and poverty, race, environmentalism and family relationships. Focusing on the show's iconic characters, the essays also consider Arrested Development as it stands next to such works of fiction as Hamlet, The Godfather and the writings of Kafka. Also covered is the show's reinvention of the sitcom genre, and what its revival on Netflix means for the future of television.
Book Synopsis Arrested Development by : Alessandro Iandolo
Download or read book Arrested Development written by Alessandro Iandolo and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-15 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arrested Development examines the USSR's involvement in West Africa during the 1950s and 1960s as aid donor, trade partner, and political inspiration for the first post-independence governments in Ghana, Guinea, and Mali. Buoyed by solid economic performance in the 1950s, the USSR opened itself up to the world and launched a series of programs aimed at supporting the search for economic development in newly independent countries in Africa and Asia. These countries, emerging from decades of colonial domination, looked at the USSR as an example to strengthen political and economic independence. Based on extensive research in Russian and West African archives, Alessandro Iandolo explores the ideas that guided Soviet engagement in West Africa, investigates the projects that the USSR sponsored "on the ground," and analyzes their implementation and legacy. The Soviet specialists who worked in Ghana, Guinea, and Mali collaborated with West African colleagues in drawing ambitious development plans, supervised the construction of new transport infrastructure, organized collective farms and fishing cooperatives, conducted geological surveys and mineral prospecting, set up banking systems, managed international trade, and staffed repairs workshops and ministerial bureaucracies alike. The exchanges and clashes born out of the encounter between Soviet and West African ideas, ambitions, and hopes about development reveal the USSR as a central actor in the history of economic development in the twentieth century.
Book Synopsis Development Arrested by : Clyde Woods
Download or read book Development Arrested written by Clyde Woods and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new edition of a classic history of the Mississippi River Delta Development Arrested is a major reinterpretation of the 200-year-old conflict between African American workers and the planters of the Mississippi Delta. The book measures the impact of the plantation system on those who suffered its depredations firsthand, while tracing the decline and resurrection of plantation ideology in national public policy debate. Despite countless defeats under the planter regime, African Americans in the Delta continued to push forward their agenda for social and economic justice. Throughout this remarkably interdisciplinary book, ranging across fields as diverse as rural studies, musicology, development studies, and anthropology, Woods demonstrates the role of music—including jazz, rock and roll, soul, rap and, above all, the blues—in sustaining a radical vision of social change.

Book Synopsis Arrested Development by : David Couper
Download or read book Arrested Development written by David Couper and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-11-16 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chief David Couper led the Madison (Wisc) Police Department for over twenty years. During this time, the Madison police became a world-class model of democratic policing. During his tenure, Madison officers handled hundreds of public protests and demonstrations with having to resort to violence and they implemented a collaborative, employee and citizen-oriented leadership style that remains in place and a model for police departments today. Since Couper's retirement, he has continued to be concerned about the growing militarization of our nation's police, corruption in the ranks of police, and an over-reliance on deadly force to get the job done. These and other actions he mentions in this book have literally arrested police development and the great potential they have to assure safe communities within the rule of law.
Book Synopsis Arrested Developments by : Jim Holway
Download or read book Arrested Developments written by Jim Holway and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the U.S. Intermountain West, the real estate boom and bust of the 2000s left many residential development projects incomplete. Across many of the region's counties, the rate of vacant subdivision parcels ranges from around 15 percent to two-thirds of all lots. From paper plats to partially built subdivisions that require road maintenance and other infrastructure without contributing to the local tax base as planned, excess development entitlements--the rights, granted by local government, to develop land--are compromising the quality of life, distorting growth patterns and real estate markets, and diminishing fiscal health in their communities. This policy focus report, produced in conjunction with the Sonoran Institute, provides information and tools to help cities and counties struggling with problems that stem from arrested developments in their communities, from health and safety hazards to blight, impacts on existing lot owners, fiscal threats, fragmented development patterns, overcommitted natural resources, and market flooding and distortions. Although the research focuses on the eight U.S. Intermountain West states--Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming--the policy recommendations and best practices are applicable nationwide. The authors begin by exploring the economic context that fostered the entitlement of so much land in advance of market demand for new housing, as well as the framework of state and local laws within which local governments manage and regulate land development. They then draw on case studies, lessons shared by experts during several workshops, survey results, and data analysis to identify the challenges municipalities typically face when they attempt to address excess development entitlements. Finally, they recommend treatment and prevention measures--including a model process to help communities start addressing problems in their jurisdictions. The authors suggest that local governments should build a solid foundation of policies, laws, and programs, in order to facilitate recovery, create more sustainable growth scenarios, improve property values, and pursue land and habitat conservation where those land uses are more appropriate. They should also ensure they have mechanisms in place to adapt and adjust to evolving market conditions. Communities likely to face significant growth pressures would be well served by development management policies that help to align new entitlements and infrastructure investments with evolving market demands. Cities and towns already coping with distressed subdivisions should summon a willingness to reconsider past approvals and projects and to acknowledge problems. The report concludes with nine policy recommendations. - Adopt new state enabling authority to ensure local governments have the tools and guidance they need. - Prepare and revise community comprehensive plans and entitlement strategies as a foundation for local action. - Adopt enhanced procedures for development approvals and ensure policies are up to date and consistently applied. - Adapt and adjust policy approaches to market conditions. - Rationalize development assurances to ensure they are practical, affordable, and enforceable. - Establish mechanisms to ensure development pays its share of costs. - Serve as a facilitator and pursue public-private partnerships to forge creative and sustainable solutions. - Establish systems for monitoring, tracking, and analyzing development data to enable effective and targeted solutions to specific subdivisions. - Build community capacity and maintain the necessary political will to take and sustain policy action.
Book Synopsis The Death of the Grown-Up by : Diana West
Download or read book The Death of the Grown-Up written by Diana West and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2008-09-16 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "WHERE HAVE ALL THE GROWN-UPS GONE?" That is the provocative question Washington Times syndicated columnist Diana West asks as she looks at America today. Sadly, here's what she finds: It's difficult to tell the grown-ups from the children in a landscape littered with Baby Britneys, Moms Who Mosh, and Dads too "young" to call themselves "mister." Surveying this sorry scene, West makes a much larger statement about our place in the world: "No wonder we can't stop Islamic terrorism. We haven't put away our toys " As far as West is concerned, grown-ups are extinct. The disease that killed them emerged in the fifties, was incubated in the sixties, and became an epidemic in the seventies, leaving behind a nation of eternal adolescents who can't say "no," a politically correct population that doesn't know right from wrong. The result of such indecisiveness is, ultimately, the end of Western civilization as we know it. This is because the inability to take on the grown-up role of gatekeeper influences more than whether a sixteen-year-old should attend a Marilyn Manson concert. It also fosters the dithering cultural relativism that arose from the "culture wars" in the eighties and which now undermines our efforts in the "real" culture war of the 21st century--the war on terror. With insightful wit, Diana West takes readers on an odyssey through culture and politics, from the rise of rock 'n' roll to the rise of multiculturalism, from the loss of identity to the discovery of "diversity," from the emasculation of the heroic ideal to the "PC"-ing of "Mary Poppins," all the while building a compelling case against the childishness that is subverting the struggle against jihadist Islam in a mixed-up, post-9/11 world. With a new foreword for the paperback edition, "The Death of the Grown-up," is a bracing read from one of the most original voices on the American cultural scene.

Book Synopsis I Drink for a Reason by : David Cross
Download or read book I Drink for a Reason written by David Cross and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2009-08-31 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The star and creative force behind Mr. Show and Arrested Development pens his "first and final book, chronicling his meteoric rise and abysmal fall in the literary world." After a decade spent in isolation in the Ugandan jungles thinking about stuff, David Cross has written his first book. Known for roles on the small screen such as "never-nude" Tobias Funke on Arrested Development and the role of "David" in Mr. Show With Bob And David, as well as a hugely successful stand-up routine full of sharp-tongued rants and rages, Cross has carved out his place in American comedy. Whether deflating the pomposity of religious figures, calling out the pathetic symbiosis of pseudo-celebrity and its leaching fandom, or merely pushing the buttons of the way-too-easily offended P.C. left or the caustic, double-standard of the callous (but funnier) right, Cross has something to say about everyone, including his own ridiculous self. Now, for the first time, Cross is weaving his media mockery, celebrity denunciation, religious commentary and sheer madness into book form, revealing the true story behind his almost existential distaste of Jim Belushi ("The Belush"), disclosing the up-to-now unpublished minutes to a meeting of Fox television network executives, and offering up a brutally grotesque run-in with Bill O'Reilly. And as if this wasn't enough for your laughing pleasure in these troubled times, some of the pieces splinter off with additional material being created online in exclusive video and animated web content created solely for the book-a historical first (presumably)! With a mix of personal essays, satirical fiction posing as truth, advice for rich people, information from America's least favorite Rabbi and a top-ten list of top-ten lists, I Drink for a Reason is as unique as the comedian himself, and cannot be missed.

Book excerpt: In Such a Pretty Fat, Jen Lancaster learned how to come to terms with her body. In My Fair Lazy, she expanded her mind. Now the New York Times bestselling author gives herself—and her generation—a kick in the X, by facing her greatest challenge to date: acting her age. Jen is finally ready to put away childish things (except her Barbie Styling Head, of course) and embrace the investment-making, mortgage-carrying, life-insurance-having adult she’s become. From getting a mammogram to volunteering at a halfway house, she tackles the grown-up activities she’s resisted for years, and with each rite of passage she completes, she’ll uncover a valuable—and probably humiliating—life lesson that will ease her path to full-fledged, if reluctant, adulthood.

Book Synopsis Arresting Development by : Christopher Pizzino
Download or read book Arresting Development written by Christopher Pizzino and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mainstream narratives of the graphic novel’s development describe the form’s “coming of age,” its maturation from pulp infancy to literary adulthood. In Arresting Development, Christopher Pizzino questions these established narratives, arguing that the medium’s history of censorship and marginalization endures in the minds of its present-day readers and, crucially, its authors. Comics and their writers remain burdened by the stigma of literary illegitimacy and the struggles for status that marked their earlier history. Many graphic novelists are intensely aware of both the medium’s troubled past and their own tenuous status in contemporary culture. Arresting Development presents case studies of four key works—Frank Miller’s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home, Charles Burns’s Black Hole, and Gilbert Hernandez’s Love and Rockets—exploring how their authors engage the problem of comics’ cultural standing. Pizzino illuminates the separation of high and low culture, art and pulp, and sophisticated appreciation and vulgar consumption as continual influences that determine the limits of literature, the status of readers, and the value of the very act of reading.
Book Synopsis Arrested Development by : Anthony Moorehead
Download or read book Arrested Development written by Anthony Moorehead and published by Certa Publishing. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of "Arrested Development" is becoming more pronounced, especially among men. This book was written primarily with men in mind, although certainly not exclusively. Anthony Moorehead examines this dilemma from a completely different perspective than that of the typical "bleeding heart" leftist. The leftist view is commonly pontificated in academia, and has both helped to foster and exasperate the issue. Since "Arrested Development" is a rather recent concern, relative to only a couple generations, this book examines the changes that have engendered the problem. The correlation between morality and maturity, and how they are inextricably linked is especially examined. Moorehead also takes a look at how a lack of the former, contributes to a stunted juvenile mind and lifestyle.
Book Synopsis Arrested Development by : Andrew Calcutt
Download or read book Arrested Development written by Andrew Calcutt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1990s, both politics and pop culture have been dominated by the twin motifs of the victim and the child. Calcutt traces the history of these motifs back to their origins in the counterculture of the 1950s and 1960s, and concludes that the counterculture, far from being liberating, has provided a ready-made verbal and visual language for today's victim culture and the authoritarian politics arising from it. This title discusses the erosion of adulthood as a pop cultural phenomenon that requires demystification and as a social problem which must be overcome.

Book Synopsis The Television Will Be Revolutionized, Second Edition by : Amanda D Lotz
Download or read book The Television Will Be Revolutionized, Second Edition written by Amanda D Lotz and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Incredibly prescient . . . the revised edition updates its account to reflect an age when Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon are now competing for Emmy and Peabody Awards.” —Henry Jenkins, coauthor of Spreadable Media: Creating Meaning and Value in a Networked Culture Many proclaimed the “end of television” in the early years of the twenty-first century, as capabilities and features of the boxes that occupied a central space in American living rooms for the preceding fifty years were radically remade. In this revised second edition of her definitive book, Amanda D. Lotz proves that rumors of the death of television were greatly exaggerated and explores how new distribution and viewing technologies have resurrected the medium. Shifts in the basic practices of making and distributing television have not been hastening its demise but redefining what we can do with it, what we expect from it, how we use it—in short, revolutionizing it. Television, as both a technology and a tool for cultural storytelling, remains as important today as ever, but it has changed in fundamental ways. The Television Will Be Revolutionized provides a sophisticated history of the present, examining television in what Lotz terms the “post-network” era while providing frameworks for understanding the continued change in the medium. The second edition addresses adjustments throughout the industry wrought by broadband-delivered television such as Netflix, YouTube, and cross-platform initiatives like TV Everywhere, as well as how technologies such as tablets and smartphones have changed how and where we view. Lotz begins to deconstruct the future of different kinds of television—exploring how “prized content,” live televised sports, and linear viewing may all be “television,” but very different types of television for both viewers and producers. Through interviews with those working in the industry, surveys of trade publications, and consideration of an extensive array of popular shows, Lotz takes us behind the screen to explore what is changing, why it is changing, and why the changes matter. “[A] thorough and engaging analysis.” —Velvet Light Trap “Thick with trade facts and figures.” —Popular Communication
