Rock Dreaming by Neil Creighton Pdf

Neil Creighton's poems insist that it is time, long past time, to acknowledge crimes against indigenous people, to stop cloaking and hiding past colonialism and current racism with lies, to shine a light of honesty on what the legacy of the white invasion of Australia really is, and to begin creating a space of hope for healing. Painful, powerful, and truly necessary poetry. -Laura M. Kaminski, Managing Editor of Praxis Magazine Online and Author of five poetry collections and four chapbooks, including Anchorhold and The Heretic's Hymnal It is astonishing how Rock Dreaming reasserts Australia's precolonial history, confronts her colonial history, rewrites the history, and transcends its endless tyranny with a great anger, a greater insight, and a much greater empathy capable of healing the oppressed. The magic of this collection is rooted in Creighton's humane attention to the details of the conditions of the people whose lives his poems explore so powerfully. -Darlington Chibueze Anuonye, Curator of Daybreak: An Anthology of Short Nigerian Fiction The poems in Rock Dreaming approach their difficult subject matter in many ways. They are lyrical, journalistic, deeply personal, and historical. Often confronting, unflinching, almost cinematically brutal, they seek justice but never self-justification. In them Creighton seeks "to gouge a path of acknowledgment straight into the heart of national conscience." The poems reveal a tender heart and a desire to educate the reader about a buried history of genocide. We can only hope that works such as these can incite sufficient indignation and compassion to lead to whatever reparations are still possible. -Betsy Mars, Author of Alinea

Rush, Rock Music, and the Middle Class by Chris McDonald Pdf

Canadian progressive rock band Rush was the voice of the suburban middle class. In this book, Chris McDonald assesses the band's impact on popular music and its legacy for legions of fans. McDonald explores the ways in which Rush's critique of suburban life—and its strategies for escape—reflected middle-class aspirations and anxieties, while its performances manifested the dialectic in prog rock between discipline and austerity, and the desire for spectacle and excess. The band's reception reflected the internal struggles of the middle class over cultural status. Critics cavalierly dismissed, or apologetically praised, Rush's music for its middlebrow leanings. McDonald's wide-ranging musical and cultural analysis sheds light on one of the most successful and enduring rock bands of the 1970s and 1980s.

Dreaming God's Dreams by David Michael Donnangelo Pdf

"And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams: " (Acts 2:17, ASV). There has never been a greater time for God's people to put aside their petty religious insanities and "wake up" to hear "His" voice; whether it comes in the explosive eruption of a volcano, a clap of thunder, or a whisper in your ear in the stillness of the night. Inside the cover of this book are essential ingredients to hear His voice in the quiet of the night. The WORD says: "and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice" (John 10:4, ASV). Do you know His voice? Perhaps it's time we take the principles found within this book and learn to recognize all the ways that "He" can, and is speaking to us. Pastor Joseph Landreth "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men." (Mark 1:17, NKJV)

Social Dreaming in the 21st Century by John Clare Pdf

We are running out of ideas in Western society. Faced with global warming, Third World devastation, nuclear proliferation and the threat posed by religious conflict, we need new ways of thinking. After the loss and carnage of the Twentieth Century there is prevailing mood of uncertainty and paranoia, yet at the same time a denial of tragedy, a salvation fantasy, an illusion that we will be saved. The decline in social solidarity, the fragmentation of communal values and a growing sense of 'I' as opposed to 'we', are all signs of an inversion of moral certitudes, a disconnection from reality. This book asks what methods do we have at our disposal to understand and reverse this breakdown of communication within and between communities.

The Mind at Night by Andrea Rock Pdf

Over the past few decades, there has been a revolution in scientific knowledge about why we dream, what's actually happening to the brain when we do, and what the sleeping mind reveals about our waking hours. Beginning with the birth of dream research in the 1950s, award-winning science reporter Andrea Rock traces the brief but fascinating history of this emerging scientific field. She then takes us into modern sleep labs across the country, bringing the scientists to life as she interprets their intellectual breakthroughs and asks the questions that intrigue us all: Why do we remember only a fraction of our dreams? Why are dreams usually accompanied by intense emotion, such as fear or anxiety? Can we really control our dreams without waking up? Are universal dream interpretations valid? Is dreaming our way of consolidating long-term memories and filtering the day's mental detritus? Can dreams truly spark creative thought or help solve problems? Accessible and engaging, The Mind at Night shines a bright light on our nocturnal journeys, while revealing the crucial role dreams could play in penetrating the mystery of consciousness.

Dreaming in Byzantium and Beyond by George T. Calofonos Pdf

Although the actual dreaming experience of the Byzantines lies beyond our reach, the remarkable number of dream narratives in the surviving sources of the period attests to the cardinal function of dreams as vehicles of meaning, and thus affords modern scholars access to the wider cultural fabric of symbolic representations of the Byzantine world. Whether recounting real or invented dreams, the narratives serve various purposes, such as political and religious agendas, personal aspirations or simply an author’s display of literary skill. It is only in recent years that Byzantine dreaming has attracted scholarly attention, and important publications have suggested the way in which Byzantines reshaped ancient interpretative models and applied new perceptions to the functions of dreams. This book - the first collection of studies on Byzantine dreams to be published - aims to demonstrate further the importance of closely examining dreams in Byzantium in their wider historical and cultural, as well as narrative, context. Linked by this common thread, the essays offer insights into the function of dreams in hagiography, historiography, rhetoric, epistolography, and romance. They explore gender and erotic aspects of dreams; they examine cross-cultural facets of dreaming, provide new readings, and contextualize specific cases; they also look at the Greco-Roman background and Islamic influences of Byzantine dreams and their Christianization. The volume provides a broad variety of perspectives, including those of psychoanalysis and anthropology.

Machine Dreaming and Consciousness by J. F. Pagel,Philip Kirshtein Pdf

Machine Dreaming and Consciousness is the first book to discuss the questions raised by the advent of machine dreaming. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems meeting criteria of primary and self-reflexive consciousness are often utilized to extend the human interface, creating waking experiences that resemble the human dream. Surprisingly, AI systems also easily meet all human-based operational criteria for dreaming. These “dreams are far different from anthropomorphic dreaming, including such processes as fuzzy logic, liquid illogic, and integration instability, all processes that may be necessary in both biologic and artificial systems to extend creative capacity. Today, multi-linear AI systems are being built to resemble the structural framework of the human central nervous system. The creation of the biologic framework of dreaming (emotions, associative memories, and visual imagery) is well within our technical capacity. AI dreams potentially portend the further development of consciousness in these systems. This focus on AI dreaming raises even larger questions. In many ways, dreaming defines our humanity. What is humanly special about the states of dreaming? And what are we losing when we limit our focus to its technical and biologic structure, and extend the capacity for dreaming into our artificial creations? Machine Dreaming and Consciousness provides thorough discussion of these issues for neuroscientists and other researchers investigating consciousness and cognition. Addresses the function and role of dream-like processing in AI systems Describes the functions of dreaming in the creative process of both humans and machines Presents an alternative approach to the philosophy of machine consciousness Provides thorough discussion of machine dreaming and consciousness for neuroscientists and other researchers investigating consciousness and cognition

Dreaming Together by Derek Stephen McPhail Pdf

A sceenplay of magic realism inspired Canadian alternate historical romance, set during the 17th century smallpox epidemic in Wendake. A young man who doubts himself struggles to help his family to freedom through the natural law that defines him and his people. “History is the story of how we got where we are, what happened and what it meant. A matter of tragedy for the individual and comedy for the society. Over the long pulses of historical time, reconciliations can be achieved, that's the comedy; but, every individual meets a tragic end. We have to admit here that no matter what else we say, for the individual death is always an end and a catastrophe.” “The Years of Rice and Salt” by Kim Stanley Robinson
