Film by Geoff Andrew Pdf

This book takes an accessible approach to the movies: an era-by-era survey with a personal angle. This lively, compact history of film offers the most direct experience of the great movies of the 20th century to be found between covers. The book is divided into 10 chapters, each dedicated to a specific time and place in cinema history. Each is written by an eminent critic (or critics) with specialist knowledge, and consists of an introductory overview, followed by a personal selection of 15 of their favourite films. Their pick gives the reader an enormously varied selection; old favourites such as "King Kong" and "The Hustler" are found alongside rarities that have previously been the private domain of the experts. Each film is described and dissected in a self-contained essay that covers who made it and why, its artistic features and matters of technical interest, and the broader context in which it was made. Most important of all, each critic discusses his or her personal reasons for choosing it. Vividly written and lavishly illustrated with stills from the films, this book brings 100 years of film history to life.S.

Inside the Critics’ Circle by Phillipa K. Chong Pdf

An inside look at the politics of book reviewing, from the assignment and writing of reviews to why critics think we should listen to what they have to say Taking readers behind the scenes in the world of fiction reviewing, Inside the Critics’ Circle explores the ways critics evaluate books despite the inherent subjectivity involved and the uncertainties of reviewing when seemingly anyone can be a reviewer. Drawing on interviews with critics from such venues as the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Washington Post, Phillipa Chong delves into the complexities of the review-writing process, including the considerations, values, and cultural and personal anxieties that shape what critics do. Chong explores how critics are paired with review assignments, why they accept these time-consuming projects, how they view their own qualifications for reviewing certain books, and the criteria they employ when making literary judgments. She discovers that while their readers are of concern to reviewers, they are especially worried about authors on the receiving end of reviews. As these are most likely peers who will be returning similar favors in the future, critics’ fears and frustrations factor into their willingness or reluctance to write negative reviews. At a time when traditional review opportunities are dwindling while other forms of reviewing thrive, book reviewing as a professional practice is being brought into question. Inside the Critics’ Circle offers readers a revealing look into critics’ responses to these massive transitions and how, through their efforts, literary values get made.

The Complete History of American Film Criticism by Jerry Roberts Pdf

The Complete History of American Film Criticism is a chronicle of the lives and work of the most influential film critics of the past 100 years. From the first movie review in the New York Times in 1896 through the Silent Era, the pre- and postwar years, the Film Generation of the 1960s, the Golden Age of the 1970s, and into the 21st century, critics have educated generations of discriminating moviegoers on the differences between good films and bad. They call attention to great directors, cinematographers, production designers, screenwriters, and actors, and shed light on their artistic visions and storytelling sensibilities. People interested in what the great film critics had to say have usually been shortchanged as to their backgrounds, and just why they are qualified to sit in judgment. Using mini-biographies, placed within a chronological framework, The Complete History of American Film Criticism is the biography of a profession whose cultural impact has left an indelible mark on the 20th century’s most significant art form.

Intersectional Analysis as a Method to Analyze Popular Culture by Erica B. Edwards,Jennifer Esposito Pdf

Intersectional Analysis as a Method to Analyze Popular Culture: Clarity in the Matrix explores how race, class, gender, sexuality, and other social categories are represented in, and constructed by, some of the most significant popular culture artifacts in contemporary Western culture. Through readings of racialized television sitcoms, LGBTQ+ representation in mainstream American music, the role of Black Panther in Western imperialist projects, and self-love narratives promoted by social media influencers, it demonstrates how novice and emerging researchers can use intersectional theory as an analysis method in the field of cultural studies. The case studies presented are contextualized through a brief history of intersectional theory, a methodological rationale for its use in relation to popular culture, and a review of the ethical considerations researchers should take before, during, and after they approach popular artifacts. Intended to be a textbook for novice and emerging researchers across a wide range of social science disciplines, this book serves as a practical guide to uncover the multiple and interlocking ways oppression is reified, resisted and/or negotiated through popular culture. 2021 Winner of the AESA Critics’ Choice Book Award

Bullying, Child Abuse and Domestic Violence: Creating a Positive Outcome Out of a Negative Situation. You Are an “OVERCOMER!” by Sensei/Renshi Nathan Chlumsky Pdf

Bullying, Child Abuse, Domestic Violence, and violence as a whole are parts things that have plagued our society since the beginning of time. And while people know the bad that violence causes, they still allow it to continue by: not trying to change the situation and/or ignoring the situation all together. However, there are those few people who choose to do the opposite and who strive to gain strength from the negative situations then redirect that negativity into forming positive outcomes and thus become "OVERCOMERS." This book is about myself, and some of those famous people whom you may know and what they did to "Overcome" those obstacles that stood in their way in order to become the positive role models that now shape our youth today. This book will also talk about the statistics of child bullying, work place bullying, child abuse and domestic violence. It will also talk about the signs and what to look for.
