Love in Motion
Author: Maria Johnsen
Publisher: Maria Johnsen
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
Love, an emotion that stirs us all, possesses the ability to shape our lives in profound and subtle ways. It serves as a wellspring of inspiration, igniting dreams and propelling us to explore the realms of our imagination. Yet, simultaneously, it anchors us in the intricate tapestry of our experiences, embracing the richness and complexity they offer. Through my collection of poems, "Love in Motion: Poems of Dreams and Fjord Fantasies," I extend an invitation to delve into the myriad dimensions of this universal theme, as witnessed through my eyes as an accomplished poet. Embark on a poetic voyage through the landscapes of the heart, where the interplay of luminosity and shadow, elation and sorrow, hope and despair, intertwine to form an unadorned tapestry of raw emotions. From the dizzying heights of rapture to the abyss of desolation and grief, these verses capture the quintessence of love—its multifaceted nature, its complications, and its reciprocation. Drawing from a vast palette of vivid imagery and metaphor, I encourage you to immerse yourself in the splendor of nature, the marvels of the human spirit, and the potency of the imagination. Together, we shall traverse the themes of love, passion, and yearning. Whether you find solace in the mesmerizing cadence of fjords or soar amidst the clouds, carried by the wings of your dreams, "Love in Motion" promises an expedition that is both exhilarating and deeply gratifying. Therefore, I implore you to join me on this journey, allowing my poems to transport you through the realms of the heart—a sojourn that shall linger within you long after the final page has been turned.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
ALICE FEENEYS NEW YORK TIMES AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER “Boldly plotted, tightly knotted—a provocative true-or-false thriller that deepens and darkens to its ink-black finale. Marvelous.” —AJ Finn, author of The Woman in the Window My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me: 1. I’m in a coma. 2. My husband doesn’t love me anymore. 3. Sometimes I lie. Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can’t move. She can’t speak. She can’t open her eyes. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn’t remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?

Augenblick
Author: Koral Ward
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317177401
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Augenblick, meaning literally 'In the blink of an eye', describes a 'decisive moment' in time that is both fleeting yet momentously eventful, even epoch-makingly significant. In this book Koral Ward investigates the development of the concept into one of the core ideas in Western existential philosophy alongside such concepts as anxiety and individual freedom. Ward examines the whole extent of the idea of the 'decisive moment', in which an individual's entire life-project is open to a radical reorientation. From its inception in Kierkegaard's works to the writings of Jaspers and Heidegger, she draws on a vast array of sources beyond just the standard figures of 19th and 20th century Continental philosophy, finding ideas and examples in photography, cinema, music, art, and the modern novel.

Love Songs in Motion
Author: Christina J. Woolner
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226827399
Category : Love songs
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
"At first listen, music is conspicuously absent from Somaliland's public soundscapes. The lingering effects of a war that devastated the artistic community and the increasing presence of Salafist groups, which see music as incompatible with Islamic principles, have muted musical practice. Nonetheless, as Christina Woolner undertook research in postwar peacebuilding in Somaliland's capital, Hargeysa, she continually heard snippets of songs. Many of these, she learned, were about love. In a time and region riddled with precarity, hees jacayl permits singers to "sing from the heart," a mode of voicing songs that Woolner calls envocalization, which allows the possibility of dareen-wadaang (feeling sharing). Despite their intense intimacy, that is, hees jacayl transcend the connection between the lover and the beloved, becoming also, perhaps paradoxically, an outward-facing, unifying force that powerfully draws together those "suffering" from love, poets, composers, singers, and listeners, in both private and public spaces. Taking us from 1950s recordings preserved on dusty cassettes to contemporary, often improvisatory performances in a scandalous venue where the author herself eventually performs, Woolner offers an understanding of love songs across time and space that opens new realms of possibility, for relating to others and for local reconciliation, which are otherwise closed off by overwhelming conditions of precarity"--

Aquinas on the Emotions
Author: Diana Fritz Cates
Publisher: Georgetown University Press
ISBN: 1589017188
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
All of us want to be happy and live well. Sometimes intense emotions affect our happiness—and, in turn, our moral lives. Our emotions can have a significant impact on our perceptions of reality, the choices we make, and the ways in which we interact with others. Can we, as moral agents, have an effect on our emotions? Do we have any choice when it comes to our emotions? In Aquinas on the Emotions, Diana Fritz Cates shows how emotions are composed as embodied mental states. She identifies various factors, including religious beliefs, intuitions, images, and questions that can affect the formation and the course of a person's emotions. She attends to the appetitive as well as the cognitive dimension of emotion, both of which Aquinas interprets with flexibility. The result is a powerful study of Aquinas that is also a resource for readers who want to understand and cultivate the emotional dimension of their lives.

Love in Motion
Author: Reidar Due
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231850514
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
This is a book about how film encountered love in the course of its history. It is also a book about the philosophy of love. Since Plato, erotic love has been praised for leading the soul to knowledge. The vast tradition of poetry devoted to love has emphasized that love is a feeling. Love in Motion presents a new metaphysics and ontology of love as a reciprocal erotic relationship. The book argues that film has been particularly well suited for depicting love in this way, in virtue of its special narrative language. This is a language of expression that has developed in the course of film history. The book spans this history from early silent directors such as Joseph von Sternberg to contemporary filmmakers like Sophia Coppola. At the centre of this study is a comparison between Classical French and American love films of the forties and a series of modernist films by Luis Buñuel, François Truffaut and Wong Kar Wai.

The Shape of Motion
Author: Jordan Schonig
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190093889
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
"Cinematic motion has long been celebrated as an emblem of change and fluidity or claimed as the source of cinema's impression of reality. But such general claims undermine the sheer variety of forms that motion can take onscreen-the sweep of a gesture, the rush of a camera movement, the slow transformations of a natural landscape. What might we learn about the moving image when we begin to account for the many ways that movements move? In The Shape of Motion: Cinema and the Aesthetics of Movement, Jordan Schonig provides a new way of theorizing cinematic motion by examining cinema's "motion forms:" structures, patterns, or shapes of movement unique to the moving image. From the wild and unpredictable motion of flickering leaves and swirling dust that captivated early spectators, to the pulsing abstractions that emerge from rapid lateral tracking shots, to the bleeding pixel-formations caused by the glitches of digital video compression, each motion form opens up the aesthetics of movement to film theoretical inquiry. By pairing close analyses of onscreen movement in narrative and experimental films with concepts from Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Henri Bergson, and Immanuel Kant, Schonig rethinks longstanding assumptions within film studies, such as indexical accounts of photographic images and analogies between the camera and the human eye. Arguing against the intuition that cinema reproduces our natural perception of motion, The Shape of Motion shows how cinema's motion forms do not merely transpose the movements of the world in front of the camera; they transform them"
