A Dream of Hitchcock
Author: Murray Pomerance
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438472099
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
A Dream of Hitchcock examines the recurring motif of the dream in Hitchcock's work—dreamscapes, dream processes, the dream effect—by focusing on close readings of six celebrated but often misinterpreted films: Strangers on a Train, Rebecca, Saboteur, Rear Window, To Catch a Thief, and Family Plot. The Hitchcockian dream, as invoked here, is not so much a dream as it is a way of understanding, in its dramatic contexts, an "unearthly," irrational quality in the filmmaker's work. Rebecca revolves around problems of memory; To Catch a Thief around uncertainty; Saboteur around pungent aspiration; Family Plot around intuition; Rear Window around expansive imagination; and Strangers on a Train around delirious madness. All of these films enunciate the return of the past, the invocation of a boundary beyond which experience becomes unpredictable and uncertain, and the celebration of values that transcend narrative resolution. Murray Pomerance's distinctive method for thinking through Hitchcock's work allows these films to inform theorization, not the other way around. His original, provocative, and groundbreaking explorations point to the importance of fantasy, improbability, doubt disconcertion, hope, memory, intuition, and belief, through which the oneiric comes to the center of waking life.

Dreams in American Television Narratives
Author: Cynthia Burkhead
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 144112523X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Dreams in Television Narratives is the first comprehensive analysis of one of American television's most frequently utilized tropes, the dream. From its beginning, television has been a storytelling medium. Whether delivered to a live audience or played out on a sound stage, narratives and those who write them have always been the crux of the television program. While film can claim a long history of scholarly inquiry into the connection between film and dreams, no comprehensive research exists on the subject of television dreams. Locating its primary function as narrative, the author uses examples from American sitcoms and dramatic programs, analyzing the narrative functions of dreams using, as its frame, Carl Jung's narrative stages of the dream: exposition, development, culmination, and conclusion. While television dreams are analyzed throughout, case studies of the television programs The Sopranos and Buffy the Vampire Slayer are included to show in detail how dreams function throughout a television series. Includes a compendium of over 1000 television episodes that include dreams, a valuable tool for any television scholar or enthusiast.

Language in Psychotherapy
Author: Robert L. Russell
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1489904964
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
This book of original contributions presents investigations of psycho therapautic interaction. While the methodological strategies and the oretical orientations of these investigations are notably diverse, the utterance-by-utterance analysis of client-therapist dialogue provides a strong commonality of interest and a particularly productive perspective from which the process of psychotherapy can be illuminated. It is hoped that the contributions selected, and the problems with which they are occupied, will make evident the rich possibilities such a perspective has to offer. It should be noted, however, that the present volume is not a com pendium: any effort to be exhaustive would be thwarted by considera tions of length alone. Thus, certain omissions were inevitable. It is hoped that the interested reader will use the extensive references to become acquainted with the works not here included. Whatever effort I extended as editor and contributor to this volume could not have been undertaken without the lifelong spirit of support of my parents, Selma S. and Jay F. Russell. I dedicate my contribution to them.

Between the Moon and Earth
Author: Jay Alfred
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1698703309
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Since the dawn of history, various cultures have imagined heaven and the abode of gods to be literally located in some part of the sky; and hell, to be in the interior of the Earth. From a modern scientific perspective, these were the earliest concepts of parallel universes and the idea of a multiverse, which is a serious area of research in cutting-edge physics today. This book presents a model, supported by scientific and metaphysical evidence, which validates this intuitive view. It appears that, after the death of the ordinary matter body, most human beings will indeed find themselves in an invisible (what science would call “dark”) higher energy sphere which interpenetrates and shares the same spacetime landscape and gravitational field as the familiar visible form of planet Earth. Depending on the nature and composition of their bodies, they gravitate or levitate into particular “shells” in the relevant sphere - “higher” shells being coincident with the atmosphere, and beyond; and “lower” shells being within or below the crust of the ordinary matter Earth.
