Approaches to Teaching the Works of Cormac McCarthy

Approaches to Teaching the Works of Cormac McCarthy

Modern Language Association of America
2021
nidottu
In the decades since his 1992 breakout novel, All the Pretty Horses, Cormac McCarthy has gained a reputation as one of the greatest contemporary American authors. Experimenting with genres such as the crime thriller, the post-apocalyptic novel, and the western, his work also engages with the aesthetics of cinema, and several of his novels have been adapted for the screen. While timely and relevant, his works' idiosyncratic language and intense, troubling portrayals of racism, sexism, and violence can pose challenges for students.This volume offers strategies for guiding students through McCarthy's oeuvre, addressing all his novels as well as his published plays and screenplays. Part 1, "Materials," provides sources of biographical information and key scholarship on McCarthy. Essays in part 2, "Approaches," discuss subjects such as landscape and ecology, mythologies of the American West, film adaptations, and literary contexts, and describe assignments that encourage students to write creatively and to examine their personal values.

Det fula : från antikens skönhet till Paul McCarthy

Det fula : från antikens skönhet till Paul McCarthy

Varför tycker vi att en trasig och smutsig kaffekopp är ful i jämförelse med en hel och ren kopp? Hur skall vi definiera det som är fult, själva fulheten? Det sköna har varit föremål för estetiska diskussioner i sekler, men det fula har alltid fått leva i skymundan som det skönas negation, dess absoluta motsats. Varför? Fil. dr Tom Sandqvist diskuterar det fula och ser dess renässans som en av många gränsöverskridningar i dagens samhälle.

Jewish Organizations' Response to Communism and to Senator McCarthy

Jewish Organizations' Response to Communism and to Senator McCarthy

sidottu
In February 1950, Senator Joseph McCarthy launched an anti-communist crusade that lasted for more than four years. His attempts to unmask communists in the American administration and governmental agencies gave rise to actions that infringed on democratic procedure and civil liberties. As the Cold War grew, fear of communism at home and abroad meant that minorities were particularly under threat, as tensions and frustrations were channelled towards the handiest scapegoats. American Jewish organizations, that were having to come to terms with the Holocaust in Europe, were forced to contend with the real possibility of a serious anti-Semitic outburst at home. The Jewish presence in the American Communist Party was conspicuous; although the overwhelming majority of Jewish Americans did not sympathise with its politics, there was concern that anti-communism would develop into anti-Semitism. McCarthy's anti-communist campaign endangered the very civil liberties that protected minorities, but criticism of McCarthy and his actions could be interpreted as support for communism.In order to convey the message that Jews were patriotic Americans concerned about both national security and civil liberties, Jewish organizations chose to present a united front, whilst also cooperating with non-sectarian American bodies. By doing so, they professed an alternative anti-communism to the hardline McCarthy. This book sheds new light on McCarthy's attitudes to the Jews, to the Jewish organizations and to the Jewish individuals identified with communism.

Demagogue Lib/E: The Life and Long Shadow of Senator Joe McCarthy

Demagogue Lib/E: The Life and Long Shadow of Senator Joe McCarthy

Larry Tye

HOUGHTON MIFFLIN
2020
cd
The definitive biography of the most dangerous demagogue in American history, based on first-ever review of his personal and professional papers, medical and military records, and recently unsealed transcripts of his closed-door Congressional hearings In the long history of American demagogues, from Huey Long to Donald Trump, never has one man caused so much damage in such a short time as Senator Joseph McCarthy. We still use "McCarthyism" to stand for outrageous charges of guilt by association, a weapon of polarizing slander. From 1950 to 1954, McCarthy destroyed many careers and even entire lives, whipping the nation into a frenzy of paranoia, accusation, loyalty oaths, and terror. When the public finally turned on him, he came crashing down, dying of alcoholism in 1957. Only now, through bestselling author Larry Tye's exclusive look at the senator's records, can the full story be told.Demagogue is a masterful portrait of a human being capable of immense evil, yet beguiling charm. McCarthy was a tireless worker and a genuine war hero. His ambitions knew few limits. Neither did his socializing, his drinking, nor his gambling. When he finally made it to the Senate, he flailed around in search of an agenda and angered many with his sharp elbows and lack of integrity. Finally, after three years, he hit upon anti-communism. By recklessly charging treason against everyone from George Marshall to much of the State Department, he became the most influential and controversial man in America. His chaotic, meteoric rise is a gripping and terrifying object lesson for us all. Yet his equally sudden fall from fame offers reason for hope that, given the rope, most American demagogues eventually hang themselves.

Lennon vs. Mccartney: the Beatles, Inter-Band Relationships and the Hidden Messages to Each Other in Their Song Lyrics

Lennon vs. Mccartney: the Beatles, Inter-Band Relationships and the Hidden Messages to Each Other in Their Song Lyrics

Adam Thomas

Lulu.com
2014

A stunning new book showing how the Beatles' song lyrics contain secret conversations between John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Varying between strong affection and outright hostility, these hidden messages clearly mirror the fluctuations the two Beatles were experiencing in their personal relationship at the time. The Beatles themselves have made only fleeting references to this troubled phase. Paul McCartney acknowledges what he calls the "song wars" period, confirming that, at the time, "I was really writing a lot of songs to John." John Lennon meanwhile played down the negative tone of his messages saying "I'm entitled to call Paul what I want and vice versa. It's in our family"

Rock Trees: The Beatles: Volume 1: The Paul McCartney Tree

Rock Trees: The Beatles: Volume 1: The Paul McCartney Tree

Jay Goldberg

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2014

Six Degrees of Separation was originally proposed by Frigyes Karinthy. The theory says that everyone in the world can be connected through a maximum of six steps. Applying that theory to The Beatles, this book shows how 1,550 bands/artists connect back to The Beatles. This is Volume One of a planned series and examines the Paul McCartney "Rock Tree." The other Beatles will get their own books in the future. The book contains fifty "rock trees" each with thirty one bands/artists per tree and each with a companion chart showing how the bands are connected. In terms of six degrees of separation, the Beatles are the base and Paul McCartney is the first degree. The band/artist on the top of each of the fifty "rock trees" therefore is the second degree. The trees then expand two by two down to the sixth degree (resulting in sixteen sixth degree bands/artists per tree). The goal was not to repeat any band/artist, although musicians can be solo artists and parts of different bands. I accomplished that goal. Only band members or guest or studio musicians or singers were used to connect the bands/artists. Song writing, production, engineering, etc. credits did not count. For those of you into lists and/or finding new or unfamiliar music; there are charts listing twelve songs of note from each of the fifty "rock trees." In a few cases I couldn't help myself and threw in an additional song or two. Also, there is an index in the back of the book listing all 1,550 bands/artists with the page number for the "rock tree" that contains that band/artist.
