Book Description
Jean-Luc Godard, like many of his European contemporaries, came to filmmaking through film criticism. This collection of essays and interviews, ranging from his early efforts for La Gazette du Cinéma to his later writings for Cahiers du Cinéma, reflects his dazzling intelligence, biting wit, maddening judgments, and complete unpredictability. In writing about Hitchcock, Welles, Bergman, Truffaut, Bresson, and Renoir, Godard is also writing about himself-his own experiments, obsessions, discoveries. This book offers evidence that he may be even more original as a thinker about film than as a director. Covering the period of 1950-1967, the years of Breathless, A Woman Is a Woman, My Life to Live, Alphaville, La Chinoise, and Weekend, this book of writings is an important document and a fascinating study of a vital stage in Godard's career. With commentary by Tom Milne and Richard Roud, and an extensive new foreword by Annette Michelson that reassesses Godard in light of his later films, here is an outrageous self-portrait by a director who, even now, continues to amaze and bedevil, and to chart new directions for cinema and for critical thought about its history.

Psychoanalysis of Technoscience
Author: Hub Zwart
Publisher: LIT Verlag Münster
ISBN: 3643910509
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
This book presents a psychoanalysis of technoscience. Basic concepts and methods developed by Freud, Jung, Bachelard and Lacan are applied to case histories (palaeoanthropology, classical conditioning, virology). Rather than by disinterested curiosity, technoscience is driven by desire, resistance and the will to control. Moreover, psychoanalysis focusses on primal scenes (Dubois' quest for the missing link, Pavlov's discovery of the conditioned reflex) and opts for triangulation: comparing technoscience to "different scenes" provided by novels, so that Dubois's work is compared to missing link novels by Verne and London and Pavlov's experiments with Skinner's Walden Two, while virology is studied through the lens of viral fiction.

Paradise Atop the Hudson

Pages : 284
Book Description
Paradise Atop the Hudson revisits a time when life was simpler, albeit the definitive baptism under fire for the novel's saintly protagonist, Adam Sean Furano, whose life is turned upside-down after he is ferociously bullied after being set up by a friend who is envious of his loving family. The fictional work is set in Fairview, New Jersey (a small town located directly across from Manhattan) during the late 1960s and early 1970s, and lovingly recreates a community known for the closeness of its residents and year-long events, including the San Paolino Italian Feast, the Firemen's Bazaar, parades, fireworks, and a remarkable community fabric that brings together so many families and individuals via the churches, schools, eateries, entertainment venues, sporting leagues, Scout troops, local mischief, the town library and stores. The novel further examines the era through the period's popular music, movies, television shows and sports, and there is a constant interplay between good and evil, emboldened by the use of Catholic symbolism. Though the novel's main characters and many events are fictional, some supporting characters are real-life and are identified, and at the end of the story, a massive "Who's Who?"-styled acknowledgment appendix pays tribute to past and present residents of Fairview and Cliffside Park, as well as many other authors, bloggers and online friends of the writer who have impacted him in various ways. A section on those residents who have passed on far too young, and a section of names completes this homage to a special place, where growing up was a privilege. The novel's critical occurrence takes place at Palisades Amusement Park in Cliffside Park.
