Download or read book Singing Utopia written by Ben Macpherson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-12-03 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Singing Utopia is an original study of voice in musical theatre. Rather than focusing on how actors sing or analysing voices using established approaches found in opera studies, this book offers readers ways to understand musical theatre voices from a cultural perspective. It argues that musical theatre singing allows listeners and audiences to escape their everyday lives; and that voices can 'be' utopian. It then considers what this means and uncovers some paradoxes and difficulties in this idea. Introducing a new set of terms, it provides a way to listen to, think about, and even perform, voice in popular musical theatre.

Download or read book Utopia written by Thomas More and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 1999-01-15 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wootton's translation brings out the liveliness of More's work and offers an accurate and reliable version of a masterpiece of social theory. His edition is further distinguished by the inclusion of a translation of Erasmus's 'The Sileni of Alcibiades,' a work very close in sentiment to Utopia, and one immensely influential in the sixteenth century. This attractive combination suits the edition especially well for use in Renaissance and Reformation courses as well as as for Western Civilization survey courses. Wootton’s Introduction simultaneously provides a remarkably useful guide to anyone’s first reading of More’s mysterious work and advances an original argument on the origins and purposes of Utopia which no one interested in sixteenth-century social theory will want to miss.
Book Synopsis Under The Skin of The Indian Consumer by : David Abikzir
Download or read book Under The Skin of The Indian Consumer written by David Abikzir and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-07-03 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We don't understand anymore the consumers. We feel that they are capricious, bad calculators, fickle and irrational. They're doing whatever comes through their heads and yet, we have no choice, we have to deal with them! This is the result of the consumers' cultural revolution making India enters a new consumerist era. The modern consumption has emerged in India when we stopped considering that the human desire for comfort, pleasure and stimulation of this pleasure was necessarily a danger for the moral of men, women and the integrity of the State. Less credulous and more demanding, Indian consumers have very little to do with the past ones who used to buy to live, while today, the tendency is that they live to buy! The consumption pattern has been shaken up going from a consumption need to a need for consumption. With e-commerce, consumers have changed, evolved and mutated once again. This is a natural evolution in respect to the transformation of the consumer society to definitely get lost in their understanding, in the analysis of their behavior and in their way of thinking. Faced with these new behaviors, we need to evolve the way we do our marketing, our way of touching them, interesting them, shocking them, shoving them but also of delighting them, pleasing them and giving them, in the end, what they ask for: making them live an experience rich in emotions and socially rewarding. Let's condition them to be what we want, that is to say, consumption machines!

Download or read book 100 Cult Films written by Ernest Mathijs and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some films should never have been made. They are too unsettling, too dangerous, too challenging, too outrageous and even too badly made to be let loose on unsuspecting audiences. Yet these films, from the shocking Cannibal Holocaust to the apocalyptic Donnie Darko, from the destructive Tetsuo to the awfully bad The Room, from the hilarious This Is Spinal Tap to the campy Showgirls, from the asylum of Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari to the circus of Freaks, from the gangs of The Warriors to the gangsters of In Bruges and from the flamboyant Rocky Horror Picture Show to the ultimate cool of The Big Lebowski, have all garnered passionate fan followings. Cult cinema has made tragic misfits, monsters and cyborgs, such as Edward Scissorhands or Blade Runner's replicants, heroes of our times. 100 Cult Films explains why these figures continue to inspire fans around the globe. Cult film experts Ernest Mathijs and Xavier Mendik round up the most cultish of giallo, blaxploitation, anime, sexploitation, zombie, vampire and werewolf films, exploring both the cults that live hidden inside the underground (Nekromantik, Café Flesh) and the cult side of the mainstream (Dirty Dancing, The Lord of the Rings, and even The Sound of Music). 100 Cult Films is a true trip around the world, providing a lively and illuminating guide to films from more than a dozen countries, across nine decades, representing a wide range of genres and key cult directors such as David Cronenberg, Terry Gilliam and David Lynch. Drawing on exclusive interviews with some of the world's most iconic cult creators and performers, including Dario Argento, Pupi Avati, Alex Cox, Ruggero Deodato, Jesús Franco, Lloyd Kaufman, Harry Kümel, H. G. Lewis, Christina Lindberg, Takashi Miike, Franco Nero, George A. Romero and Brian Yuzna, and featuring a foreword by cult director Joe Dante, 100 Cult Films is your ultimate ticket to the midnight movie show.
Download or read book Vino Business written by Isabelle Saporta and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This sharp critique of French winemakers, and Bordeaux’s Saint Emilion region in particular, caused quite a stir when it was published in France in 2014” (Publishers Weekly). Already provoking debate and garnering significant attention across France and within the wine world, Vino Business is a “truly eye-opening exposé” of the dark side of French wine by acclaimed investigative journalist Isabelle Saporta (Booklist). In recent decades, Bordeaux has come under the influence of large-scale international investors. Unafraid to name names, Saporta sheds a harsh light on how this influence has corrupted the region’s centuries-old traditions of winemaking excellence. She uncovers how the classification system was manipulated in 2012 to ensure that the wines of Saint-Émilion—Bordeaux’s most prestigious appellation—were certified premier grand cru classé A. Giving extra points to a chateaux for the size of its parking lot, the quality of the wine itself counts for only thirty percent of that coveted rank. In other chapters, Saporta investigates issues of wine labeling and pesticides, and draws comparisons to Champagne, Burgundy, and the rest of the wine world. “This fast-paced, provocative read” is a cri de coeur for the lost values of traditional winemaking (Dave DeSimone, Pittsburgh Tribune Review).

Book Synopsis Shepherd of Hermas by : Daniel F. Owsley
Download or read book Shepherd of Hermas written by Daniel F. Owsley and published by Booktango. This book was released on 2013-08-23 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shepherd of Hermas – Book of Visions is a former Bible book from the second century that stresses that “Loving words are as a honeycomb sweet to the soul, and such are as deep waters, and the wellspring of love is like a flowing brook.” And this Agrapha version weaves in hundreds of proven sayings of Christ from many ancient sources such as: “A man without prayer can no more be a man of good works than a dumb man can plead his cause to a blind one; than a man can defend himself without movement; or attack another without weapons, sail without rudder, or preserve dead flesh without salt. For he that has no hand can not receive.” So be blessed by a multitude of the Lord's sayings like: “For how can a carpenter build in the mist of a whirlwind? The seed of violence can reap only a harvest of desolation, and from the parched clay can grow no living thing.” And truly I say unto anyone that has worldly hunger: the words of this book shall be a barren buffet; but to those who seek the Bread of Life they offer a true feast. Simply an Amazing book considering the years of research that has gone into it. Jesus also said, " Neither can people who are like dry canals, ever be made to be a partaker of My living waters; nor can death be found in those who live for me, just as life can not be found in those who die daily to all that is morally good. " So please partake of this offering: For it shall bring forth scads of latter rain into any lives that are tired of spiritual draught.
Book Synopsis The Lady and the Panda by : Vicki Croke
Download or read book The Lady and the Panda written by Vicki Croke and published by Random House. This book was released on 2009-03-25 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the astonishing true story of Ruth Harkness, the Manhattan bohemian socialite who, against all but impossible odds, trekked to Tibet in 1936 to capture the most mysterious animal of the day: a bear that had for countless centuries lived in secret in the labyrinth of lonely cold mountains. In The Lady and the Panda, Vicki Constantine Croke gives us the remarkable account of Ruth Harkness and her extraordinary journey, and restores Harkness to her rightful place along with Sacajawea, Nellie Bly, and Amelia Earhart as one of the great woman adventurers of all time. Ruth was the toast of 1930s New York, a dress designer newly married to a wealthy adventurer, Bill Harkness. Just weeks after their wedding, however, Bill decamped for China in hopes of becoming the first Westerner to capture a giant panda–an expedition on which many had embarked and failed miserably. Bill was also to fail in his quest, dying horribly alone in China and leaving his widow heartbroken and adrift. And so Ruth made the fateful decision to adopt her husband’s dream as her own and set off on the adventure of a lifetime. It was not easy. Indeed, everything was against Ruth Harkness. In decadent Shanghai, the exclusive fraternity of white male explorers patronized her, scorned her, and joked about her softness, her lack of experience and money. But Ruth ignored them, organizing, outfitting, and leading a bare-bones campaign into the majestic but treacherous hinterlands where China borders Tibet. As her partner she chose Quentin Young, a twenty-two-year-old Chinese explorer as unconventional as she was, who would join her in a romance as torrid as it was taboo. Traveling across some of the toughest terrain in the world–nearly impenetrable bamboo forests, slick and perilous mountain slopes, and boulder-strewn passages–the team raced against a traitorous rival, and was constantly threatened by hordes of bandits and hostile natives. The voyage took months to complete and cost Ruth everything she had. But when, almost miraculously, she returned from her journey with a baby panda named Su Lin in her arms, the story became an international sensation and made the front pages of newspapers around the world. No animal in history had gotten such attention. And Ruth Harkness became a hero. Drawing extensively on American and Chinese sources, including diaries, scores of interviews, and previously unseen intimate letters from Ruth Harkness, Vicki Constantine Croke has fashioned a captivating and richly textured narrative about a woman ahead of her time. Part Myrna Loy, part Jane Goodall, by turns wisecracking and poetic, practical and spiritual, Ruth Harkness is a trailblazing figure. And her story makes for an unforgettable, deeply moving adventure.
Book Synopsis The Invention of Wings by : Sue Monk Kidd
Download or read book The Invention of Wings written by Sue Monk Kidd and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the celebrated author of The Secret Life of Bees and the forthcoming novel The Book of Longings, a novel about two unforgettable American women. Writing at the height of her narrative and imaginative gifts, Sue Monk Kidd presents a masterpiece of hope, daring, the quest for freedom, and the desire to have a voice in the world. Hetty “Handful” Grimke, an urban slave in early nineteenth century Charleston, yearns for life beyond the suffocating walls that enclose her within the wealthy Grimke household. The Grimke’s daughter, Sarah, has known from an early age she is meant to do something large in the world, but she is hemmed in by the limits imposed on women. Kidd’s sweeping novel is set in motion on Sarah’s eleventh birthday, when she is given ownership of ten year old Handful, who is to be her handmaid. We follow their remarkable journeys over the next thirty five years, as both strive for a life of their own, dramatically shaping each other’s destinies and forming a complex relationship marked by guilt, defiance, estrangement and the uneasy ways of love. As the stories build to a riveting climax, Handful will endure loss and sorrow, finding courage and a sense of self in the process. Sarah will experience crushed hopes, betrayal, unrequited love, and ostracism before leaving Charleston to find her place alongside her fearless younger sister, Angelina, as one of the early pioneers in the abolition and women’s rights movements. Inspired by the historical figure of Sarah Grimke, Kidd goes beyond the record to flesh out the rich interior lives of all of her characters, both real and invented, including Handful’s cunning mother, Charlotte, who courts danger in her search for something better. This exquisitely written novel is a triumph of storytelling that looks with unswerving eyes at a devastating wound in American history, through women whose struggles for liberation, empowerment, and expression will leave no reader unmoved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered how typewriters can rival commercial radio? Why, according to John, it's best to shave only once a week, and with old fashioned soap and water? And what the various repercussions of spring and its extra hour of daylight bring? The BBC created a fantastically cult television series when they filmed the daily operations of John and Ann's double glazing firm U-Fit, the third largest in Coventry. It was here we were first introduced to John's misanthropic musings and no-nonsense attitude to management and his wife Ann's doting loyalty. Now their individual and highly entertaining personalities have been brought to the page, as they ruminate on various aspects of life from asbos to Buddhism, and Chekov to Maltesers.
