Experiencing Peter Gabriel

Experiencing Peter Gabriel

Durrell Bowman

Rowman Littlefield
2016
sidottu
In Experiencing Peter Gabriel, author Durrell Bowman delves into the sounds and stories of the innovative, versatile, English pop icon. As not only a singer-songwriter and musician, but also a music technologist, world-music champion, and humanitarian, Gabriel has consistently maintained an unabashed individualism and dedication to his artistry. From 1969 to 1975, Gabriel served as the lead singer, flute player, occasional percussionist, and frequent songwriter and lyricist of the progressive rock band Genesis. With the band, Gabriel made six studio albums, a live album, and numerous performances and concert tours. The early version of Genesis made some of the most self-consciously complex pop music ever released. However, on the cusp of Genesis becoming a major act internationally, Gabriel did the unthinkable and left the group. Gabriel’s solo career has encompassed nine studio albums, plus five film/media scores, additional songs, videos, major tours, and other projects. As a solo artist and collaborator, he has worked with first-rate musicians and produced unrivaled tracks such as the U.S. No. 1 hit “Sledgehammer.” Gabriel won six Grammy Awards in the 1990s and 2000s, as well as numerous additional awards and honors for his music and his videos, as well as for his humanitarian work. From his early work with Genesis to his substantial contributions as a solo artist, Gabriel’s music ranges from chart-topping pop songs to experimental explorations often filled with disarmingly personal emotions. Experiencing Peter Gabriel investigates the career of this magnetic performer and uncovers how Gabriel developed a sound so full of raw authenticity that it continues to attract new fans from across the world.

Ernest Hemingway and Gabriel García Márquez: Cultural Ascendancy and the Shaping of Literary Figures

Ernest Hemingway and Gabriel García Márquez: Cultural Ascendancy and the Shaping of Literary Figures

Sandra J. Clifton

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2011

Ernest Hemingway and Gabriel Garc a M rquez share a number of traits in their development as writers. Both men achieved both literary and commercial success during their lifetimes. Both were driven to express themselves in writing from an early age; both began that quest as journalists. Both traveled to Europe as correspondents, and both wrote fiction in Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Havana, and Mexico City, often choosing to write about one place while living in another. The two share a love of Spain and of Cuba, sympathy for the tenets of the Cuban revolution, and an acquaintance in the person of Fidel Castro. Both received the Nobel Prize for literature at the age of fifty-five, and both are highly praised throughout the world. Still, the two men developed quite distinct writing styles as their crafts evolved, and each is representative of the culture that shaped the writer. Hemingway produced a literature of the individual. His themes of rugged individualism, loneliness, isolation, despair, decadence, disillusionment, grace, and solitude epitomize the American loss of innocence in the years following World War I. Garc a M rquez's work is a literature of a different kind of solitude-one experienced not by an individual, but by an entire people. His works explore the human condition of the people of Latin America by revealing their collective dreams, flaws, misfortunes, triumphs, and passions. Ernest Hemingway and Gabriel Garc a M rquez are legendary literary figures, whose works have touched millions and will convey their message for generations to come: the message of life, death, love, solitude, and two quite valid, yet uniquely distinct, realities.

Inland Empire and San Gabriel Valley Movie Theatres

Inland Empire and San Gabriel Valley Movie Theatres

Kelli Shapiro Phd

Arcadia Publishing (SC)
2024
nidottu
Los Angeles County's San Gabriel Valley and the adjacent Inland Empire, encompassing San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, boasted a wealth of movie theatres throughout the 20th century. Entertainment options proliferated as people flocked to both areas, which were famed for their wealth-producing citrus groves and vineyards, their position along Route 66, and their mountain and desert resorts. Residents and vacationers could enjoy films at nickelodeons, picture palaces, drive-ins, and other venues; some still operate. Due to the regions' proximity to Hollywood and their more rural and suburban settings, local cinemas frequently held studios' test screenings (including for Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz); audiences there thus influenced what moviegoers elsewhere watched. Film exhibition's history there reflects cultural, social, and demographic trends in these areas and the United States.Kelli Shapiro, PhD, is a public historian and preservationist who has lived in both regions. She holds degrees from Pomona College, Texas State University, and Brown University. She wrote the Los Angeles Conservancy's successful California Register of Historical Resources nomination for Route 66's Azusa Foothill Drive-in Theatre--as well as Historic Movie Theatres of West Virginia, another Images of America book. This book's images came from multiple museums, archives, and collections.

Reading Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Reading Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Brian Donnelly

Routledge
2015
sidottu
A revolutionary figure throughout his career, Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s work provides a distinctly revolutionary lens through which the Victorian period can be viewed. Suggesting that Rossetti’s work should be approached through his poetry, Brian Donnelly argues that it is both inscribed by and inscribes the development of verbal as well as visual culture in the Victorian era. In his discussions of modernity, aestheticism, and material culture, he identifies Rossetti as a central figure who helped define the terms through which we approach the cultural productions of this period. Donnelly begins by articulating a method for reading Rossetti’s poetry that highlights the intertextual relations within and between the poetry and paintings. His interpretations of such poems as the 'Mary’s Girlhood' sonnets, the sonnet sequence The House of Life, and 'The Orchard-Pit' in relationship to paintings such as The Girlhood of Mary Virgin and Ecce Ancilla Domini! shed light on Victorian ideals of femininity, on consumer culture, and on the role of gender hierarchies in Victorian culture. Situating Rossetti’s poetry as the key to all of his work, Donnelly also makes a case for its centrality in its representation of the dominant discourses of the late Victorian period: faith, sex, consumption, death, and the nature of representation itself.
