Inventing Stanley Park - Sean Kheraj - Bog - University of British Columbia Press - Plusbog.dk

Inventing Stanley Park - Sean Kheraj - Bog - University of British Columbia Press - Plusbog.dk

In the early hours of 15 December 2006, a windstorm of a ferocity not known for more than forty years ripped through Vancouver. In the crisp light of dawn, the city’s residents awoke to discover that Stanley Park, their city’s most treasured park, had been transformed into a tangle of splintered and uprooted trees. In the weeks that followed, people toured Stanley Park by car and by foot like a procession of mourners at a funeral. Their anguish revealed more than just an attachment to the memory of a park – it marked the end of a romanticized vision of timeless natural space. In Inventing Stanley Park, environmental historian Sean Kheraj examines how this tension between popular expectations of idealized wilderness and the volatility of complex ecosystems helped shape one of the world’s most famous urban parks. Drawing on a wealth of illustrations and the insights of environmental history, Kheraj not only describes and depicts the natural and cultural forces that shaped the park’s landscape, he also reveals the roots of our complex relationship with nature. Released to coincide with Stanley Park’s 125th anniversary, this book offers a revealing meditation on the interrelationship between nature, culture, parks policy, and public memory.

A Critical Companion to Stanley Kubrick - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

A Critical Companion to Stanley Kubrick - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

A Critical Companion to Stanley Kubrick offers a thorough and detailed study of the works of Stanley Kubrick. Labeled a recluse, a provocateur, and a perfectionist, Kubrick remains one of the greatest legends of cinema who continues to influence contemporary filmmakers and visual culture. An unequaled visionary, Kubrick revolutionized film genres, the use of music in film, narrative pacing and structure, and depictions of war and violence. This book delves into the complexities of his work and examines the wide range of topics and the multiple interpretations that his films inspire. The eighteen chapters in this book use different methodologies, explore new trends of research in film studies, providing a series of unique and novel perspectives on all of Kubrick''s thirteen feature films, from Fear and Desire (1953) to Eyes Wide Shut (1999), as well as his work on A.I. Artificial Intelligence (Steven Spielberg, 2001).

The French Enlightenment and the Emergence of Modern Cynicism - Sharon A. Stanley - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The French Enlightenment and the Emergence of Modern Cynicism - Sharon A. Stanley - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Sharon A. Stanley analyzes cynicism from a political-theoretical perspective, arguing that cynicism isn''t unique to our time. Instead, she posits that cynicism emerged in the works of French Enlightenment philosophers, such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Denis Diderot. She explains how eighteenth-century theories of epistemology, nature, sociability and commerce converged to form a recognizably modern form of cynicism, foreshadowing postmodernism. While recent scholarship and popular commentary have depicted cynicism as threatening to healthy democracies and political practices, Stanley argues instead that the French philosophes reveal the possibility of a democratically hospitable form of cynicism.

Stanley Kubrick's The Shining - J. W. Rinzler - Bog - Taschen GmbH - Plusbog.dk

“ The Shining may be the first movie that ever made its audience jump with a title that simply says, ‘Tuesday,’” proclaimed The New York Times . Never has a film evoked so much dread in its audience with so little gore than Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of the 1977 novel by the master of terror himself, Stephen King, where true horror lies in the darkest corners of domesticity and isolation. Equally a study of the intricate mechanics of Kubrick’s genius as an in-depth look at the making of a visual masterpiece , Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining gathers hundreds of hours of exclusive new interviews with the cast and crew in an unprecedented look at the 1980 cult classic. Slip in through the back door of The Overlook Hotel to witness Kubrick’s endless rounds of script rewrites, his revolutionary use of the Steadicam, the mechanics behind the infamous blood elevator, the mysterious mid-filming fire at Elstree Studios, and the countless takes needed to satisfy the meticulous force that was Kubrick. Conceived and edited by Academy Award-winning director Lee Unkrich , dubbed by The Hollywood Reporter as “the world''s foremost Shining aficionado,” with text by best-selling author J.W. Rinzler and a foreword by Steven Spielberg , this is the definitive compendium of the film that transformed the horror genre. The two-volume collection designed by M/M Paris includes hundreds of never-before-seen production photographs from the Stanley Kubrick Archive and the personal collections of cast and crew, rare documents and correspondence, conceptual art, an exclusive look at deleted scenes, and more.

Stanley Kubrick - Elisa Pezzotta - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Stanley Kubrick - Elisa Pezzotta - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

"Elisa Pezzotta''s excellent Stanley Kubrick: Adapting the Sublime is by far the most sophisticated, innovative, and-crucially-cine-literate book I have read on the greatest auteur of adaptation."-Ian Hunter, Reader in Film Studies, De Montfort University, Leicester, United KingdomAlthough Stanley Kubrick adapted novels and short stories, his films deviate in notable ways from the source material. In particular, since 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), his films seem to definitively exploit all cinematic techniques, embodying a compelling visual and aural experience. But, as author Elisa Pezzotta contends, it is for these reasons that his cinema becomes the supreme embodiment of the sublime, fruitful encounter between the two arts and, simultaneously, of their independence.Stanley Kubrick''s last six adaptations-2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange (1971), Barry Lyndon (1975), The Shining (1980), Full Metal Jacket (1987), and Eyes Wide Shut (1999)-are characterized by certain structural and stylistic patterns. These features help to draw conclusions about the role of Kubrick in the history of cinema, about his role as an adapter, and, more generally, about the art of cinematic adaptations. The structural and stylistic patterns that characterize Kubrick adaptations seem to criticize scientific reasoning, causality, and traditional semantics. In the history of cinema, Kubrick can be considered a modernist auteur. In particular, he can be regarded as an heir of the modernist avant-garde of the 1920s. However, author Elise Pezzotta concludes that, unlike his predecessors, Kubrick creates a cinema not only centered on the ontology of the medium, but on the staging of sublime, new experiences.Elisa Pezzotta is cultore della materia of history and critique of cinema at the University of Bergamo (Italy). Her work has been published in Wide Screen, Alphaville Journal of Film and Screen Media, and Journal of Adaptation in Film and Performance, and she is the author of "La narrazione complessa nel cinema di Stanley Kubrick: 2001: Odissea nello spazio e Eyes Wide Shut" in Ai confini della comprensione.

Contending with Stanley Cavell - - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Stanley Cavell has been a brilliant, idiosyncratic presence in American philosophy literary criticism, and cultural studies for years. Even as, he continues to produce new writing of a high quality - an example of which is included in this collection - his work has elicited responses from a new generation of writers in Europe and America. This collection showcases this new work, while illustrating the variety of Cavell''s interests: in the ordinary language philosophy of Wittgenstein and Austin, in film criticism and theory, in literature, psychoanaylsis, and the American transcendentalism of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau.
