The Relevance of Alan Watts in Contemporary Culture

The Relevance of Alan Watts in Contemporary Culture

Routledge
2021
sidottu
Whilst accounting for the present-day popularity and relevance of Alan Watts’ contributions to psychology, religion, arts, and humanities, this interdisciplinary collection grapples with the ongoing criticisms which surround Watts’ life and work. Offering rich examination of as yet underexplored aspects of Watts’ influence in 1960s counterculture, this volume offers unique application of Watts’ thinking to contemporary issues and critically engages with controversies surrounding the commodification of Watts’ ideas, his alleged misreading of Biblical texts, and his apparent distortion of Asian religions and spirituality. Featuring a broad range of international contributors and bringing Watts’ ideas squarely into the contemporary context, the text provides a comprehensive, yet nuanced exploration of Watts’ thinking on psychotherapy, Buddhism, language, music, and sexuality. This text will benefit researchers, doctoral students, and academics in the fields of psychotherapy, phenomenology, and the philosophy of psychology more broadly. Those interested in Jungian psychotherapy, spirituality, and the self and social identity will also enjoy this volume.

The Southern Journey of Alan Lomax

The Southern Journey of Alan Lomax

Tom Piazza

WW Norton Co
2013
sidottu
More than fifty years ago, on a trip dubbed “the Southern Journey,” Alan Lomax visited Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Tennessee, uncovering the little-known southern backcountry and blues music that we now consider uniquely American. Lomax’s camera was a constant companion, and his images of both legendary and anonymous folk musicians complement his famous field recordings. These photographs—largely unpublished—show musicians making music with family and friends at home, with fellow worshippers at church, and alongside workers and prisoners in the fields. Discussions of Lomax’s life and career by his disciple and lauded folklorist William Ferris, and a lyrical look at Lomax’s photographs by novelist and Grammy Award-winning music writer Tom Piazza, enrich this valuable collection.

The New York Tapes: Alan Solomon’s Interviews for Television, 1965–66

The New York Tapes: Alan Solomon’s Interviews for Television, 1965–66

Circle Books
2023
nidottu
Previously unpublished interviews with some of America’s leading postwar artists—including Frankenthaler, Johns, Oldenburg, Rauschenberg, Stella and Warhol—originally conducted for TV in the mid-’60s by famed curator Alan Solomon This substantial volume publishes for the first time a series of interviews conducted with seminal East Coast artists and their associates, including Kenneth Noland, Jim Dine, Roy Lichtenstein, Marcella Brenner, Helen Jacobson, Clement Greenberg, Helen Frankenthaler, Larry Poons, Frank Stella, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Claes Oldenburg, Barnett Newman, Leo Castelli, Andy Warhol, Gerard Malanga and Edie Sedgwick. These were produced in late 1965 and early 1966 for the documentary television series USA: Artists by famed curator Alan Solomon, who was a regular fixture in the New York art world of the time. This was a logical extension of Solomon's recent curatorial involvements, including most importantly his organization of the United States exhibition at the 1964 Venice Biennale. The half-hour format of the episodes meant that a vast amount of Solomon’s original interviews, some of which lasted an hour or more, wound up on the cutting-room floor. At some point after the series was completed the original filmed and tape-recorded interviews were lost. A single set of typed transcripts, preserved in the Alan R. Solomon papers at the Archives of American Art, a branch of the Smithsonian Institution (copublisher of this volume), is the sole complete record of the original interviews. The New York Tapes gathers these interview transcripts and publishes them as a group for the first time, extensively illustrated with numerous stills from the television programs and related documentation. The transcripts make available material that was not included in the final programs, while also revealing how what was included became subtly manipulated to fit the format of documentary television. An informative introduction by editor Matthew Simms sets the project in context and highlights the differences between the interviews and the films, shedding new light on a germinal moment in postwar American art and how it was presented to the public.

The Correspondence of Alan Bush and John Ireland

The Correspondence of Alan Bush and John Ireland

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2006
sidottu
John Ireland (1879-1962) had a long and close friendship with Alan Bush (1900-1995) which lasted forty years, from 1922, when John Ireland was already fifty years old, until Ireland's death in 1962. It was the relationship of master and pupil and this was clearly reflected in their letters. The two men came to know each other well once Bush had left the Royal Academy of Music in 1922 and became a student of composition with Ireland until 1927. 160 letters are published here for the first time and they provide not only a compelling and engaging narrative, but also a unique insight into the musical and day-to-day lives of the two men. The letters were written during a most interesting and turbulent period in British history: the inter-war period of the 1920s and 30s, the situation during the Second World War and the post-war era. The volume will therefore appeal to those interested in wider aspects of British musical life and social and political history, as well as followers of Ireland and Bush.

The offbeat musicals Fame 1980), Pink Floyd--The Wall (1982), The Commitments 1991) and Evita (1996)... The stylized biopics Midnight Express (1978), Mississippi Burning (1988), The Road to Wellville (1994) and Angela's Ashes (1999)... The visceral social dramas Shoot the Moon (1982), Birdy (1984), Come See the Paradise (1990) and The Life of David Gale (2003)... The one-of-kind genre films Bugsy Malone (1979) and Angel Heart (1987)... These are the films of British director, writer, producer and cartoonist Sir Alan Parker. Among many awards and a knighthood, Parker is the founding director of the Director's Guild of Great Britain, and in 2013 won the honorary British Academy of Film and Television Arts Fellowship Award. Parker is known for his humility as a director and has never considered himself an auteur: "I have total admiration for film crews. They are the true heroes of the filmmaking process, not directors." He has worked alongside producer Alan Marshall, cinematographer Michael Seresin and the late film editor, Gerry Hambling. This book is the first study of his complete body of feature films (1976-2003).

Imprint of Alan Swallow

W. Dale Nelson

Syracuse University Press
2010
sidottu
Born and raised on the windswept prairies of northwest Wyoming, Alan Swallow (1915–1966) nurtured a passion for literature and poetry at an early age. Quickly realizing he was not suited to a life of farming and ranching, Swallow entered the University of Wyoming to study literature and earned a fellowship to further his studies at Louisiana State University. It was there, under the influence of Robert Penn Warren and Cleanth Brooks, that Swallow began his almost three-decade-long career as a publisher, teacher, and poet. This outstanding biography is the first to explore the fascinating life of Alan Swallow, a pioneering western publisher whose authors included such literary luminaries as Anaïs Nin, Allen Tate, and Yvor Winters. Moving to Colorado, Swallow founded the Swallow Press and dedicated himself to bringing literary authors, both regionally and nationally recognized, to print in high-quality yet affordable books. Swallow’s tireless work as an editor and innovative publisher gave him much integrity. He became a revered literary figure of his day, while rumors of his marital infidelities and his fondness for fast cars earned him a different notoriety. Nelson brings this forgotten episode of publishing history vividly back to life, shining a bright light on the rich literary legacy of the West.

The Sacrilege of Alan Kent

The Sacrilege of Alan Kent

Erskine Caldwell; Mary Hood

University of Georgia Press
1996
sidottu
As Mary Hood writes in her foreword, "The Sacrilege of Alan Kent is unique. Comparisons are not odious, they are impossible. There is nothing like it in any of Caldwell's published works, nor can we find its example in all of American literature."Alan Kent is a wanderer, a seeker. Driven by, or fleeing from, unnamed forces, he struggles against the hardening effects of a brutal and indifferent world. In a series of episodes, Erskine Caldwell tells the semiautobiographical story of Kent's childhood, roving early manhood, and transformation into an artist.The episodes, which range from brief, graphic sketches to one-sentence impressions, are filled with elemental images of light and darkness, blood and water, earth and sky. Although an early work, The Sacrilege of Alan Kent shows readers the poetic economy, stark naturalism, and concern for the South's poorest people that became the hallmarks of Caldwell's later work.

The Day I Fired Alan Ladd and Other World War II Adventures

The Day I Fired Alan Ladd and Other World War II Adventures

A.E. Hotchner

University of Missouri Press
2002
sidottu
This memoir of A.E. Hotchner's World War II experiences explores a different side of the troubled war years. Hotchner, who grew up in St Louis, was a rookie lawyer, fresh out of Washington University Law School whenthe USA declared war. Like many others of his generation, he aspired to serve his country. He tried to enter the naval flyer programme and the navy V-12 programme, but was rejected by both due to failed physicals (poor depth perception and flat feet). Eventually though, he was able to enlist in the air force branch of the United States Army. There he served with the Anti-Submarine Command, emerging four years later as a major. Although it was Hotchner's goal to experience combat while he was in the service, that goal was never realized. Because of his excellent writing skills, he was almost immediately ordered to write and perform in a play and to create a movie about the role of the air force in attacking enemy submarines. Much to his amazement, his work proved successful, paving his direction for the rest of his war years. Each time Hotchner thought he would be able to participate more directly in the war effort, fate and military bureaucracy thwarted him. Through a series of misadventures, he instead wrote and performed in a touring musical, produced propaganda films and took on a variety of ther assignments that kept him from fighting in either theatre of operations. The author recounts the events of those years, sharing the encounters he had with many unforgettable characters, including a footsore and sentimental Clark Gable adn an inept Alan Ladd - best known as the star of ""Shane"". Hotchner recounts that Ladd did such a poor job reading the narration for Hotchner's film ""Atlantic Mission"" that he had to fire him. He also includes interesting discussions of other well-known people, such as Tennessee Williams, whom he knew at Washington University, and Dorothy Parker, whom he met in New York after the war. Although much of Hotchner's memoir is light-hearted, it also provides a unique look at the impact of the war on everyday life in the USA.

Before the Internet, there was Alan Cranston.In 1939, a 24-year old American journalist, recently returned to New York City from Europe, discovers that Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf-as published in the United States-is sanitized. Using Hitler's own words from the original Nazi manifesto, he translates and writes an annotated condensed edition to expose the full measure of Hitler's evil ideology, chilling anti-Semitism, and plans for world domination. The American publisher of Mein Kampf sues for copyright infringement.This short historical non-fiction book is about the people and events that shaped the young journalist's life. It recounts his determined pursuit of the truth to alert Americans and the world to the danger six months before Hitler's war machine invades Poland and begins the march toward WWII. The journalist was Alan Cranston, future Senator from California, a leader in the U.S. Senate, and candidate for president. Cranston dedicated his life to public service, nuclear arms reduction, and world peace.
