NO ADULT SUPERVISION is an updated compilation of Geoff's first two sets of lecture notes: "The Lecture Your Mother Never Gave You" and "The Lecture Your Father Never Gave You."Updated with lots of new text and illustrations, this book is filled with outstanding tricks, illusions, sleights and advice.Just a few of the highlights include: -- THE "I HATE DAVID COPPERFIELD" TRICK: Based on "Close-Up Illusion" by Larry Jennings, a card VISIBLY MELTS through another. The visuals here go WAY BEYOND the original.-- JUST A BIT MORE ULTIMATE THAN JOHN MENDOZA'S "ULTIMATE TORN & RESTORED CARD" You're clean at the first and clean at the end. As a bonus, it's SUPER EASY to do even though the card is SIGNED ON BOTH SIDES -- MIRACLE COIN VANISH: This gets GASPS from spectators. Looks like real magic.-- DEVASTATION: This might just be the BEST impromptu card trick ON THE PLANET Tom Daugherty's totally impossible card location that'll DEVASTATE your audience. Note: there's NOT ONE SLEIGHT in the entire trick Worth the price of this book MANY TIMES over.-- READY 2 LINK: A technique that makes the get-ready for Dan Harlan's Impromptu Linking Rubberbands SUPER EASY and TOTALLY INVISIBLE -- SHUFFLING STYLES FROM AROUND THE WORLD: A card is located after a series of shuffling demonstrations. Includes A TEACH-IN on the marvelous "Sybil" flourish cut (thanks to Chris Kenner) which is taught with a 5-card packet for ease of learning.-- 3CP: A wonderfully visual 3-coin production that is NOWHERE NEAR as hard as it looks.-- 4-WAY COINCIDENCE: A reworking of a stunning prediction routine by John Murray from "Card Cavalcade 3." Uses a borrowed, thoroughly-shuffled deck. There's only one real "move" (which is laughably simple).-- TWO OPENERS: A bottle production for stage or parlour (or even close-up).-- CARD IN POCKET: Al Koran's classic made even EASIER. Card palming made fun And LOTS, LOTS MORE 135 pages, 44 amazing tricks and sleights, 176 illustrations."I would like to say that I am a voracious reader of magic literature, reading hundreds of titles each year, and have found more usable material in your lecture notes than in any single source in recent memory."-- Christopher K."Got the set of notes in the mail yesterday. WOW I've been in magic for many years and rarely do I get excited about a lecture, but MAN, these notes are GREAT "-- Tommy J.You can see performance videos of many of the effects at GWilliamsMagic.wix.com/Videos

A Little Local Difficulty

A Little Local Difficulty

Geoff Bamber

As the Second World War draws to a conclusion, Marek Poljovka, Mayor of Krupka, is faced with a problem. Krupka, a sleepy central European market town, is nominally under the control of the Third Reich. So far Marek has managed to maintain cordial relations with the occupying forces, personified by the urbane and charming Hauptmann Kristian Kreissl and his superior officer, the heroic and partially disabled war hero, Colonel Malz. Now that the tide of war is so clearly turning, Marek does not want his cooperation with the Germans to be construed as collaboration, the consequences of which he would prefer not to think about. Marek's efforts to handle the increasingly tricky situation are hardly assisted by the colourful local population, ranging from curse-happy witches through dim-witted partisans to plainly insane river pirates. Can Marek cope? Can he keep his dignity? Can he avoid being tied to a lamp post and shot?

Habermas and Literature

Habermas and Literature

Geoff Boucher

Bloomsbury Academic USA
2021
sidottu
Although Habermas has written about the cultural role of literature and about literary works, he has not systematically articulated a literary-critical method as a component of either communicative reason or post-metaphysical thinking. Habermas and Literature brings Habermasian concepts and categories into contact with aesthetic and cultural theories in and around the Frankfurt School, and beyond. Its central claim is that Habermas’ contribution to literary and cultural criticism is the concept of literary rationality and the notion that literature performs a key role in the formation of the modern social imaginary. Habermas and Literature maintains that literary works have “two faces” – discursive intervention in the public sphere and personal integration of imaginative disclosures – that depend upon two modalities of literary reception: critique and identification. It develops the resulting literary theory through detailed discussion of the theories advanced by Habermas, followed in each case by synthetic and reconstructive argumentation that brings the framework of communicative reason into dialogue with literary methods, aesthetic theories and psychoanalytic categories. It does so through close engagement with debates around aesthetic rationality, world disclosure, social imaginaries, post-secular society and the utopian demand for happiness articulated by artworks. In the process, the Habermasian position is critically reconstructed when necessary, with reference to psychoanalytic and literary theories, and tested, in relation to demanding fiction and popular works.

The Cinema of Discomfort

The Cinema of Discomfort

Geoff King

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2021
sidottu
How do we understand types of cinema that offer experiences of discomfort, awkwardness or disquieting uncertainty? This book examines a number of examples of such work at the heart of contemporary art and indie film. While the commercial mainstream tends to offer comforting viewing experiences – or moments of discomfort that exist largely to be overcome – The Cinema of Discomfort analyses films in which discomfort is offered in a sustained manner. Cinema of this kind confronts us with material such as distinctly uncomfortable sexual encounters. It invites us into uncertain relationships with awkward and sometimes unlikable characters. It presents us with challenging behaviour or what are presented as uncomfortable realities. It often refuses information on which to base judgments. More discomfortingly, cinema of this kind tends to provoke uncertainty at the level of what emotional responses we are encouraged to have towards difficult, sometimes controversial, characters or events. The Cinema of Discomfort examines a number of case-studies, including Palindromes by Todd Solondz (US) and Dogtooth from Yorgos Lanthimos (Greece), along with other examples from Austria, Sweden, the UK, the US and Germany. Offering close textual analysis of the manner in which discomfort is generated, it also asks how we should understand the appeal of such work to certain viewers and how the existence of films of this kind can be explained, as products of both their socio-cultural context and the more particular institutional realms of art and indie film.

In the first book, "Ulf" he becomes involed in, and solves, the mystery of a teenage girl who had been missing for fifteen years. In "Ash", the second novel, he solves the mystery surrounding the violent death of a young fire fighter during a wild fire which roars through teh village. In "Ore", Erik Portland is fishing in his favourite mountain stream when he makes a discovery which leads him on a hunt for gold in the high country above the village of Ulf. A new member of Erik's family is a small dog which becomes his companion as he searches the hills. Burglary, domestic violence, death threats and the re-emergence of a vengeful villain interrupt his seeking the golden treasure and there are times when his life is in jeopardy. Many of the characters from the first two books reappear in "Ore" to assist Erik Portland in his quest for gold and aid him when his life and property are endangered.
