2019
nidottu
Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman's 1988 "Manufacturing Consent" was a seminal tract in media studies. As Matt Taibbi suggested, after thirty years, it could use an update. This Readers' Guide updates Chomsky and Herman's observations, a re-examines their propaganda model. Manufacturing Consent weighs in at 500 pages. This Readers' Guide clocks in at 20k words, which takes about 90 minutes to read. It is not a substitute for reading Manufacturing Consent, but it will give the curious a pretty good idea of Manufacturing Consent's main theses, its critics views, and an analysis of its themes in today's media environment.The second edition appends a review and analysis of Matt Taibbi's 2019 "Hate Inc."

The Pale Usher: Impressions of Moby Dick: Herman Melville and Modern Man's Transcendental Journey

James LaFond

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017
nidottu
In The Pale Usher, the author, masculinity historian James LaFond, examines the text and subtext of the 25-chapter overture to Moby Dick as an allegory of Civilized Man's awakening to his socially submerged self-a primal quest within the domesticated human in search of his authentic self. In this work, the author goes on to examine the works of such authors as Robinson Jeffers, J. R. R. Tolkien, Clark Ashton Smith, Thomas Ligotti, Dan Simmons, Bram Stoker, Ambrose Bierce, Phillip K. Dick, Carl Jung, Robert Bloch and H.P. Lovecraft.

Dr. Herman H. Schwedt ist einer der international renommiertesten Experten f r die vatikanischen Institutionen und Archive, besonders f r das Archiv der R mischen Inquisition und Indexkongregation, das bis vor sechs Jahren der ffentlichkeit nicht zug nglich war. Seine umfassenden Forschungen vor und nach der ffnung des Archivs durch Papst Johannes Paul II. stellen einen grundlegenden Zugang f r die von au en oft so undurchsichtigen r mischen Beh rden dar und bilden ein wesentliches Fundament f r alle weiteren wissenschaftlichen Projekte, die sich mit der R mischen Inquisition besch ftigen. Die Ergebnisse Schwedts, die sich in zahlreichen, weit verstreuten Aufs tzen niederschlagen, werden in der vorliegenden Festschrift geb ndelt. Sie informieren zum einen ber den Aufbau, die Arbeitsweise und Funktionen der genannten r mischen Kongregationen. Dar ber hinaus liefern sie anhand der Darstellung einzelner F lle einen tieferen Einblick in die konfliktreiche Auseinandersetzung der katholischen Kirche mit den Zeitstr mungen des 19. und fr hen 20. Jahrhunderts.

Literary Luminaries of the Berkshires: From Herman Melville to Patricia Highsmith

Literary Luminaries of the Berkshires: From Herman Melville to Patricia Highsmith

Bernard A. Drew

History Press
2015
nidottu
The Massachusetts Berkshires have long been a mecca for literary greats from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Edith Wharton to Sinclair Lewis and Joan Ackermann. The Green River in Great Barrington inspired William Cullen Bryant's poetry. Charles Pierce Burton's childhood hometown, Adams, became the setting for his frolicking Boys of Bob's Hill juvenile books. During an interlude in Lenox, Patricia Highsmith consulted a local undertaker for details to use in The Talented Mr. Ripley. Bernard A. Drew brings together a fascinating chronicle of some 250 wordsmiths who took inspiration from the hills and valleys of the Berkshires.

The Passages of H.M.: A Novel of Herman Melville

The Passages of H.M.: A Novel of Herman Melville

Jay Parini

ANCHOR BOOKS
2011
nidottu
With the same masterly touch that made The Last Station so powerful, Jay Parini penetrates the mind and soul of another literary titan. Through the eyes of his long-suffering wife, Lizzie, we are introduced to an aging, angry, and drunken Herman Melville. He is decades past his flourishing career as a writer of bestselling tales of seagoing adventures. His epic but ungainly Moby-Dick was meant to make him immortal, but critics scoffed and readers fled. He spends his days trudging the docks of New York as a customs inspector and contemplating his malign literary fate. But within him is stirring, perhaps, one great work yet. . . . In a narrative that shifts seamlessly between Lizzie's personal account and evocative snapshots of Melville's crowded life, Parini manages to humanize a giant of letters, while illuminating the source of his matchless creativity.
