Shut Up

Shut Up

Corey Deitz

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2011
pokkari
This book is one man's quest to rid himself of all his psychological demons by exorcising them with self-deprecating humor.By day, Corey Deitz is a radio personality. By night, he's just another poor, neurotic slob curling up in a fetal position and sobbing like a little girl in the corner of a room. Deitz has issues and doesn't mind putting them on display in the hopes the reader will realize in comparison, he is not as bad off as he or she thought.This book is a landmark in understanding the human mind and the author should be commended for allowing his pathetic fears, mental ticks, and social anxieties to be put on display like a piece of salmon at Sigmund Freud's favorite delicatessen.Deitz's philosophy is clear: why pay hundreds of dollars to a shrink with a fancy business card when this book is dirt cheap. In a world full of pretentious psychiatrists and expensive couches, Shut Up: We All Have Issues is a fresh look at getting your head straight at futon prices.

The "Reform Era" (1979-present) in China has been a time of massive social and economic change, and has witnessed China's transition from socialism to capitalism. This book focuses on how this period of change has been constructed in the films of Jia Zhangke through analyzing the five class figures of worker, peasant, soldier, intellectual, and entrepreneur that are found in his films. It examines how the figures' representation and the films' cinematography create what Raymond Williams terms "structures of feeling" feelings that concretize around a particular time and place which are captured and evoked in art and culture. The book argues that Jia's cinema should be understood not just as narratives that represent Chinese social transition and the director's changing attitudes to them through characters of different social classes, but also as an effort to engage the audience's emotional responses to those figures through representation, symbolism, and the affective experience of specific cinematic tropes. While making specific observations on Jia's films, the book adds to the scholarship about the Reform era by considering how this period's enormous transformations have been "felt," and also opens up many new areas, not only in the existing body of literature about Chinese film, which has mainly taken a political or sociological approach, but also in the larger fields of Chinese visual culture, cultural studies, and the affective qualities of film.

The Voice of the People

The Voice of the People

Corey Gibson

Edinburgh University Press
2017
nidottu
How might the alienation of the artist in modern Scotland be overcome? How do you incite a popular folk revival? Can a poet truly speak with the Voice of the people'? And what happens to the writer who rejects print culture in favour of becoming Anon? The life and times of polymath, scholar, author and folk- hero, Hamish Henderson (1919-2002), poses, and helps us to answer, these questions. This book examines his life-long commitment to finding a form of artistic expression suitable for post-war Europe. Though Henderson is a major figure in Scottish cultural history, his reputation is largely maintained through anecdotes and radical folk songs. This study explores his ideas in their intellectual, cultural and political contexts. It describes how all of his works - in war poetry, song collection, folklore scholarship, folksong revivalism, literary translation, and vicious public debates - reflect this desire to see the artist fully reintegrated in society.

Since 1979, China has been undergoing a period of immense social and economic change, transitioning from state-run economics to free market capitalism. This book focuses on how the 'Reform Era' has been constructed in the work of the director Jia Zhangke, analysing the archetypal class figures of worker, peasant, soldier, intellectual and entrepreneur that are found in his films. Examining how these figures are represented, and how Jia's cinematography creates those 'structures of feeling' that concretise around a particular time and place, the book argues that Jia's cinema should be understood not just as narratives that represent Chinese social transition, but also as an effort to engage the audience's emotional responses through representation, symbolism and the affective experience of specific cinematic tropes.Making an important contribution to scholarship about the Reform Era, and opening up many new areas in the larger fields of Chinese visual culture, cultural studies and the affective qualities of film, this is groundbreaking work about a cinematic culture in a period of profound transformation.

Angelic Music: The Story of Ben Franklin's Glass Armonica

Angelic Music: The Story of Ben Franklin's Glass Armonica

Corey Mead

SIMON SCHUSTER

"Fascinating, insightful, and, best of all, great fun...with spirited charm, Mead weaves history, music, science, and medicine into the story" (The Washington Post) of Ben Franklin's favorite invention: the glass armonica.Benjamin Franklin is renowned for his landmark inventions, including bifocals, the Franklin stove, and the lightning rod. Yet his own favorite invention--the one he said gave him the "greatest personal satisfaction"--is unknown to the general public. The glass armonica, the first musical instrument invented by an American, was constructed of stacked glass bowls and played by rubbing one's fingers on the rims. It was so popular in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries that Mozart, Beethoven, Handel, and Strauss composed for it; Marie Antoinette and numerous monarchs played it; Goethe and Thomas Jefferson praised it; Dr. Franz Mesmer used it for his Mesmerism sessions. Franklin played it for Washington and Jefferson. In Angelic Music, Corey Mead describes how Franklin's instrument fell out of popular favor, partly due to claims that its haunting sounds could drive musicians out of their minds. Audiences were also susceptible; a child died during a performance in Germany. Some thought its ethereal tones summoned spirits or had magical powers. It was banned in some places. "Charming and fascinating...part musicology and part cultural history...Mead's lively storytelling opens a window into a (as it were) mesmerizing chapter of music history" (Publishers Weekly). The armonica has in recent years enjoyed a revival. Composers are again writing pieces for it in genres ranging from chamber music and opera to electronic and popular music. Mead brings this instrument back to the public eye in Angelic Music, "a highly readable and informative...from a genial historical guide" (Kirkus Reviews).

Holy Shmit!

pokkari
Holy Shmit is a funny, irreverent, and surprisingly sweet story infused with a heavy dose of technology and celebrities. The plot is so inventive and out-of-the-box different, it is sure to please millions of readers and offend millions more This is one story that will be applauded and condemned at the same time - and only you can decide which side you're on.We all take for granted that the world we wake up to each day will pretty much go on as scheduled.The sun will rise, the traffic will be heavy, your boss will continue to be a jerk, and your home won't be the center for the most dangerous demonic possession ever to occur in the Universe.Until now.Everything as we know it does hang in the balance because God, the Universe's Master Programmer, has finally been compromised by Satan. The Vatican knows of only one man who is possibly up-to-snuff for this job: a priest from Columbus, Ohio afflicted with Tourette's Syndrome named Father Shmit. And Father Shmit knows of only one other man who can help him in his quest: a nerdy computer geek by the name Fire Fox.Holy Shmit is a fictional romp that scrutinizes the state of religion, believers, and even atheists while advocating in the strongest spiritual sense that God is real and working overtime to keep the Universe from collapsing into itself like a cheap snack table.Holy Shmit is also a multimedia read. There is a companion website with additional audio, video, and graphics which can be accessed with the correct password in the book. These materials are part of the main story and provide backstories and supporting "evidence" which tend to blur the lines of reality and fiction quite a bit. This is more than a fun read: it's an experience Once you have the password you can explore the evidence separately at the website (www.holyshmit.com) or use the hyperlinks built into the book to read, view, or hear the additional graphic, audio, and video content written by the author and provided by a cast of actors and artists.
