Understanding Representation
Author: Wendy Helsby
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1839021020
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
This is the third book in the 'Understanding the Moving Image' series. Like other books in the series, it aims to provide a strong critical and theoretical base for the study of the media. It has been co-authored by experienced Media and Film Studies tutors, offering fresh and innovative ways of talking about the key concept of representation. How is the world mediated to deliver messages and create beliefs about groups such as the mentally ill, institutions like the family and schools, minority and marginalised people and issues of nation seen through football and films? It also looks outside our ethnocentric mediated world to see how we are represented to others. The choice of texts reflects both an attempt to push the boundaries of the study of representation with new research, but also to make it accessible and stimulating for students coming into this area for the first time. Case studies reflect contemporary concerns in the media, often from different perspectives.

Unseen Forces
Author: Howard J. Levinson
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662415206
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Cell phones, tablets and computers come with a warning and the government is betting you don't care. "The use of this device may cause a change in thought patterns. This device carries a risk of serious personal injury including death. Use with caution." Unhinged and fueled by revenge, rogue scientist Dr. Samantha Pruitt, has developed technology that manipulates the properties of sound waves. In her hands, the simple pleasure of streaming music or attending a concert can result in a change in the listener's behavior. Even more ominous than brainwashing, Dr. Pruitt's device turns invisible, harmless sound waves into something as focused and deadly as a sniper's bullet. She enlists the assistance of Rickey and Mark, two Millennial rock musicians down on their luck. Set up like a bowling pin, they become entangled in her plans and are unwitting accomplices in multiple murders. The government recognizes the value of weaponizing Dr. Pruitt's technology. They will stop at nothing to obtain it. As the government moves in, Rickey and Mark must forge a treacherous path that offers no guarantee for their success or survival. Howard Levinson's newest novel "UNSEEN FORCES...Phone Rings-Text Dings-Band Sings...You Die!" is a sharp, slim, and savage crime novel featuring working class protagonists, an amoral government, and a plausible method of execution. Indie Reader Review: 4.7 stars (out of 5). Who hasn't wondered whether the strings of one's life are being manipulated by someone else? If you do bother to question what is going on behind the curtain, "UNSEEN FORCES" is the book for you. As I read, I was hauntingly reminded of my own experience with the forces of government that can lift you up as easily as it can take you down. Levinson has a flair for setting the stage with endearing characters and deftly charted real-life situations that will draw you in and hold onto you throughout.

Calamity Jane
Author: Richard W. Etulain
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 080615263X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
This exhaustive bibliographical reference will be the first stop for anyone looking for Calamity Jane in print, film, or photograph—and wanting to know how reliable those sources may be. Richard W. Etulain, renowned western-U.S. historian and the author of a recent biography of this charismatic figure, enumerates and assesses the most valuable sources on Calamity Jane’s life and legend in newspapers, magazines, journals, books, and movies, as well as historical and government archives. Etulain begins with a brief biography of Martha Canary, aka Calamity Jane (1856–1903), then analyzes the origins and growth of her legends. The sources, Etulain shows, reveal three versions of Calamity Jane. In the most popular one, she was a Wild Woman of the Old West who helped push a roaring frontier through its final stages. This is the Calamity Jane who fought Indians, marched with the military, and took on the bad guys. Early in her life she also hoped to embody the pioneer woman, seeking marriage and a stable family and home. A third, later version made of Calamity an angel of mercy who reached out to the poor and nursed smallpox victims no one else would help. The hyperbolic journalism of the Old West, as well as dime novels and the stretchers Calamity herself told in her interviews and autobiography, shaped her legends through much of the twentieth century. Many of the sensational early accounts of Calamity’s life, Etulain notes, were based on rumor and hearsay. In illuminating the role of the Deadwood Dick dime novel series and other pulp fiction in shaping what we know—or think we know—of the American West, Etulain underscores one of his fascinating themes: the power of popular culture. The product of twenty years’ labor sifting fact from falsehood or distortion, this bibliography and reader’s guide includes brief discussions of nearly every item’s contents, along with a terse, entertaining evaluation of its reliability.
