Cuba - Culture Smart!

Cuba - Culture Smart!

Mandy MacDonald; Russell Maddicks

Kuperard
2016
nidottu
Cuba is a land of contradictions that is easy to enjoy but difficult for first-time visitors to decipher. The largest island in the Caribbean, it is a tropical paradise that Christopher Columbus called "the most beautiful land that human eyes have ever seen." It is famous for the romantic charm of its crumbling colonial cities, the beauty of its white sand beaches, and its irresistible Afro-Cuban dance beats. But it is also a land of shortages and tight government control, which has been in a sixty-year political standoff with its superpower neighbor, the USA. The homegrown version of single-party socialism created by Fidel Castro has kept Cuba in a Cold War time warp that only now is beginning to change. As travel restrictions are relaxed US tourists can once again visit the island. Greater flexibility toward private enterprise is opening it up to boutique hotels and high-quality home-based restaurants. There is a boom in special-interest tourism for cyclists, hikers, birdwatchers, and scuba divers, while foreign entrepreneurs are eagerly exploring investment opportunities. Culture Smart! Cuba will take you beyond the usual descriptions of Havana nightlife, vintage cars, and hand-rolled cigars and give you an insider's view of an island that is teetering on the brink of historic change. It offers insights into Cuba's fascinating history, national icons, unique food, vibrant cultural scene, and world-renowned music. Practical tips help business travelers gain an edge on the competition. But most of all, this book aims to show you how best to break the ice and get a better understanding of the infinitely resourceful Cuban people, who despite severe hardships and shortages over many years remain optimistic and fiercely proud of their heritage and culture.

Twenty-seven tales of betrayal and loss, of dreams and hopes, of lovers, liars and cheats. Stories with a strong sense of place, transporting us from the seashore to the city, from India's monsoon to the heat of Cuba, and from the supermarket aisle to a Catalonian fiesta. We meet a baby that never existed, a car called Marilyn, a one-eyed cat, and a boy whose kisses taste of dunked biscuits.These stories all have something in common; each is a glimpse of what it's like to be human. We make mistakes, we do our best, and most of the time we find hope.

Cinema's Melodramatic Celebrity

Cinema's Melodramatic Celebrity

Mandy Merck

BFI Publishing
2020
sidottu
Challenging the study of both celebrity and the cinema, Mandy Merck argues that modern fame and film melodrama are part of the same worldview, one that cannot resolve the relation of personal worth to social esteem. Tracing the history of this conundrum back to the philosophy of the seventeenth century and the theatre of the eighteenth, she demonstrates its convergence in stage melodrama and its intensification in the Hollywood star system. Are today’s celebrities worth our attention? In that demand for judgement and the hope for its visual guidance, the melodramatic imagination survives – permeating not only fiction film, but documentary, the artist’s film, and our self-exhibition on social media. Examining a range of classical and contemporary films from Charlie Chaplin's City Lights (1931) to Laura Poitras’s Citizenfour (2014) , the many remakes of A Star Is Born, the compulsory exhibitionism of political celebrity and the unmasking of whistle-blowers, Merck illustrates the ways in which the cinema constantly restages the moral evaluation of prominent individuals, whether they are actors, artists, politicians or activists.

Glenn Gould's Chair

Mandy Kahn

Eyewear Publishing
2017

Poetry. Music. In Mandy Kahn's wonderfully inventive and gloriously lyrical second collection, Béla Bartók treks into remote villages to record folk songs on the world's first phonograph, a dying Gustav Mahler is greeted in heaven by Mozart, Igor Stravinsky receives a letter from a music student who wonders what rules are left to break, and Glenn Gould's chair defends its owner against claims of eccentricity. Kahn—who also works as an opera librettist—explores the challenges and exaltations of the creative life in brilliant, accessible poems that explode with curiosity, incisiveness, and awe—and that build into a lush celebration of music and making.

In the second volume of this extraordinary, imaginative trilogy, Mandy Haggith takes us back to prehistoric times for an epic saga ranging from the subarctic to the Mediterranean.

I have written this book to encourage women all over the world to finally see how wonderful they are in their uniqueness.I want all women to feel loved and appreciated.Women should know they are not alone with their worries or problems and that PERFECT or IMPERFECT lies in the eyes of the beholder the same way beauty does.Being a working mom myself, I know of the daily struggles women face to getting it all done. We are supposed to work as if we had no kids and take care of our kids as if we had no work...Not to mention the pressure that comes from outside influences such as social media, advertisement or peer pressure.I hope that the women reading this book feel a sense of relief and satisfaction afterwards. They should feel comfortable in their own skin.Although this book is also a guidebook, in which I share many things I have learned along my own path, I do not tell the women that they have to change in order to be "better" or "fit in".Most women have, at some point in their lives, felt inadequate, frustrated or unappreciated and that is the whole point of the matter. We women should not need anybody to tell us we are wonderful, gorgeous, smart and beautiful, we should feel that truth way down, deep inside of us and treat ourselves as what we are: Queens

Empire Girls

Empire Girls

Mandy Treagus

University of Adelaide Press
2014
pokkari
The dominant form of the nineteenth-century novel was the Bildungsroman, a story of an individual's development that came to speak more widely of the aspirations of nineteenth-century British society. Some of the most famous examples -- David Copperfield, Great Expectations, Jane Eyre -- validated the world from which they sprang, in which even orphans could successfully make their way. Empire Girls: the colonial heroine comes of age is a critical examination of three novels by writers from different regions of the British Empire: Olive Schreiner's The Story of An African Farm (South Africa), Sara Jeannette Duncan's A Daughter of Today (Canada) and Henry Handel Richardson's The Getting of Wisdom(Australia). All three novels commence as conventional Bildungsromane, yet the plots of all diverge from the usual narrative structure, as a result of both their colonial origins and the clash between their aspirational heroines and the plots available to them. In an analysis including gender, empire, nation and race, Empire Girls provides new critical perspectives on the ways in which this dominant narrative form performs very differently when taken out of its metropolitan setting.
