Download or read book The World Is Our Stage written by Allison M. Prasch and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2023-02-08 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh account of the US presidential rhetoric embodied in Cold War international travel. Crowds swarm when US presidents travel abroad, though many never hear their voices. The presidential body, moving from one secured location to another, communicates as much or more to these audiences than the texts of their speeches. In The World is Our Stage, Allison M. Prasch considers how presidential appearances overseas broadcast American superiority during the Cold War. Drawing on extensive archival research, Prasch examines five foundational moments in the development of what she calls the “global rhetorical presidency:” Truman at Potsdam, Eisenhower’s “Goodwill Tours,” Kennedy in West Berlin, Nixon in the People’s Republic of China, and Reagan in Normandy. In each case, Prasch reveals how the president’s physical presence defined the boundaries of the “Free World” and elevated the United States as the central actor in Cold War geopolitics.

Download or read book Wonder of Our Stage written by Paul Hemenway Altrocchi, MD and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2014-08 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few are aware that the actual identity of William Shakespeare, a pseudonym, represents our culture's greatest literary mystery. Even fewer realize that William Shaksper of Stratford-on-Avon, the person annointed by most Professors of English as the Great Playwright, was an uneducated, illiterate businessman who never wrote a single word of prose or poetry. In fact, Will Shakspere was the front man of a conspiracy perpetrated by England's leading politician, Robert Cecil, who, for reasons of greed and power, forced Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford?the true genius playwright?into anonymity. The astonishing power of Conventional Wisdom has kept the ruse going since the early 1600s. Outstanding authorship research in the past century, however, has shown convincingly that de Vere was indeed Shakespeare. The best of that research is now assembled in the present anthology series, ?Building the Case for Edward de Vere as Shakespeare.? It's an exciting story, dramatically presenting powerful evidence of murder?of the name of the world's greatest writing genius, Edward de Vere?and substituting a fraudulent impostor.

Book Synopsis How the World Became a Stage by : William Egginton
Download or read book How the World Became a Stage written by William Egginton and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is special, distinct, modern about modernity? In How the World Became a Stage, William Egginton argues that the experience of modernity is fundamentally spatial rather than subjective and proposes replacing the vocabulary of subjectivity with the concepts of presence and theatricality. Following a Heideggerian injunctive to search for the roots of epochal change not in philosophies so much as in basic skills and practices, he describes the spatiality of modernity on the basis of a close historical analysis of the practices of spectacle from the late Middle Ages to the early modern period, paying particular attention to stage practices in France and Spain. He recounts how the space in which the world is disclosed changed from the full, magically charged space of presence to the empty, fungible, and theatrical space of the stage.

Caught in the chaos and desperation of the common movement they miraculously escape the gulag or prison. A series of events involve a people from another side whose presence and assistance culminates in the prisoners escape into the hills around the devastated city. Unknown to the public, due to the type of people sent to live there, the City of Sharon had been set up as a designated bombing target by the World Board of Directors. While the prisoners make their escape, the city is obliterated by a nuclear bomb. Those who remained there were killed. Those who lived in other network cities became suspicious of their invisible government due to the total devastation of the city. All the people begin to look for a way out of party domination.

Book Synopsis Great Britons of Stage and Screen by : Barbara Roisman Cooper
Download or read book Great Britons of Stage and Screen written by Barbara Roisman Cooper and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there are encyclopedias and biographical dictionaries of contemporary British film and theatre actors, most lack the intimacy of face-to-face interviews. Typically drawn from secondary sources, collections of interviews often repeat tired anecdotes about an actor’s film or stage roles, with very little nuance or fresh insights. Great Britons of Stage and Screen: In Conversation features interviews with some of the leading actors of the last fifty years and more. In this collection, Barbara Roisman Cooper presents interviews she personally conducted with more than twenty stars of film, television, and theatre. Held in intimate surroundings—including the actors’ private homes and theatre dressing rooms between performances—these interviews provide readers with a rounded understanding of the creative process and the dedication required to develop a performance. Including many well-known Oscar, Tony, Olivier, and BAFTA winners, each interview is preceded by a short introduction and followed by the performer’s most significant credits, both on the stage and screen. The actors and actresses who shared their stories in this volume include Dame Eileen Atkins Isla Blair Simon Callow Dame Joan Collins Peggy Cummins Sinéad Cusack Samantha Eggar Stephen Fry Julian Glover Stephen Greif Jeremy Irons Sir Derek Jacobi Felicity Kendal Sir Ben Kingsley Dame Angela Lansbury Sir John Mills Alfred Molina Lynn Redgrave Jean Simmons David Suchet Richard Todd Michael York Designed to serve as a resource for those studying or writing about the worlds of theatre and film in general—and the art and craft of acting, specifically—Great Britons of Stage and Screen will also appealto the many fans of the artists who have entertained audiences for decades.
