Book Description
There is hardly any discussion of class that does not in some way relate to the theories of Marx and Weber. So profound was the impact of their ideas, that their writings are often perceived as the only original and most reliable interpretations of class society. But Marx and Weber were neither the first, nor last, to talk about class and they did so based on the specific conditions prevalent in their own communities. ‘Class’ explains this complex field using cultural, sociological and feminist perspectives. It deepens our understanding of the problems of class and uses illuminating examples from media, popular culture and literature that explain current class analysis. ‘Class’ is an ‘elegant, lucid comprehensive introduction’ that broadens our understanding of the concept and the immense power that it exerts by way of in- and exclusions.

Spaghetti Westerns
Author: Aliza S. Wong
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442269049
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
Since the silent days of cinema, Westerns have been one of the most popular genres, not just in the United States but around the world. International filmmakers have been so taken by westerns that many directors have produced versions of their own, despite lacking access to the American West. Nowhere has the Western been more embraced outside of the United States than Italy. In the 1960s, as Hollywood heroes like John Wayne and Randolph Scott were aging, Italian filmmakers were revitalizing the western, securing younger American actors for their productions and also making stars of homegrown talent. Movies directed and produced by Italians have been branded “spaghetti westerns”—a genre that boastsseveral hundred films. In Spaghetti Westerns: A Viewer’s Guide, Aliza S. Wong identifies the most significant westerns all’italiana produced as well as the individuals who significantly contributed to the genre. The author profiles such American actors as Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, and Lee Van Cleef; composers including Ennio Morricone and Carlo Rustichelli; and, of course, directors like Sergio Corbucci and Sergio Leone. The most memorable movies of the genre are also examined, includingCompañeros, Django; A Fistful of Dollars; The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly; and They Call Me Trinity. In addition to citing pivotal films and filmmakers, this volume also highlights other relevant aspects of the genre, including popular shooting locations, subgenres like the Zapata western, and the films and filmmakers who were inspired by the spaghetti western, including Quentin Tarantino, Richard Rodriguez, and Takashi Miike. An introduction to a unique homage of American cinema, Spaghetti Westerns: A Viewer’s Guide allows fans and scholars alike to learn more about a genre that continues to fascinate audiences.

Powerful Proof

Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
In a world turning from God, how do you prove Him? Are there times in your life when you want to share your love of God and His reality, but you don’t know how? How can you do so in a loving, non-threatening way? In Powerful Proof, Linda Hackenbruck shares with you her personal stories of God’s love and transforming power; stories she shares when asked why she lives for God. They span decades of loving and living for Him and are filled with His miracles. Throughout her life, God stayed with her, as her confidant, comforting her in trials and answering her simple prayers in unexpected ways. His deep love led her through pain and suffering, harm to her infant daughter and the death of her son. As she was broken and emptied of herself, God changed her for His purposes and use in His kingdom, finally filling her with unbelievable joy. The following are glimpses into what He has done: *How He used a broken tail light to save her son from continuing down a dark path. *How He saved her infant daughter’s life after autopsy papers and a burial outfit had been requested *How, after three years of trying to forgive the doctor who had hurt her baby, God completed her forgiveness in the most unlikely way. *How, after decades of prayer, her father experienced two miracles and came to know God as personal and loving. *How He delivered a new dishwasher to her front door, even though she had “given up” dishwashers. *How her young daughter prayed for a Christmas pageant dress and it arrived in a paper bag, on the front porch, two days before the pageant. *How He saved her husband from stage 4 cancer through prayer and His intervention. Linda will share truths she has learned in her lifetime of trusting God: *He is always trustworthy. *Giving up your will in obedience to His brings abundant blessing. *You can trust Him with your children, whether He miraculously saves them or shocks you by taking them home to Himself. *He always hears our prayers and answers them in His time and in unexpected ways. *He talks directly to us in ways we can understand. *He is able to heal us physically and emotionally. *He loves an honest and humble heart. *He can take our anger and pain and turn them to joy. *If we ask, He will give us wisdom in our life situations. *We can’t out love God. Our world is working hard to make Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit irrelevant and foolish. Many people struggle with believing in Them. When asked why she lives for God and can be so sure He is real, Linda tells them God is not only real but is lovingly involved in her everyday life. She shares her stories and people listen, because they are stories of God in action. They are stories of a God they can relate to and a God they can believe in. They are her absolute truth as she has lived it. She joyfully shares them with you.

Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Cinema from Scotland has attained an unprecedented international profile in the decade or so since Shallow Grave (1995) and Trainspotting (1996) impinged on the consciousness of audiences and critics around the world.

With contributions from both established names and new voices in British Cinema Studies, the volume combines detailed textual analysis with discussion of industrial issues, scholarship on new movies with historical investigation of unjustly forgotten figures and film from Scotland’s cinematic past, and a focus on international as well as indigenous images of Scottishness. Responding to the ways in recent Scottish filmmaking has transformed the country’s cinematic landscape, Scottish Cinema Now reexamines established critical agendas and sets new ones for the study of Scotland’s relationship with the moving image in the twenty-first century.
