The Shadow Self in Film by Gershon Reiter Pdf

This book examines 13 movies that deal with the protagonist and his projected “other.” The cinematic Other is interpreted as an unconscious personality, a denied part of the protagonist that appears in his life as a shadowy menace who won’t go away. Devoting a chapter to each movie, the book starts with Mamoulian’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and three cinematic pairs: two Hitchcock films, Shadow of a Doubt and Strangers on a Train; two versions of Cape Fear, J. Lee Thompson’s 1962 original and Martin Scorsese’s 1991 remake; and a pair of Clint Eastwood films, In the Line of Fire and Blood Work. The book then examines Something Wild, Sea of Love, Fight Club, Desperately Seeking Susan, Apocalypse Now and The Lives of Others. Overall the book aims to show how movies envision the unconscious Other we all too often project on other people.

Shadows in the City of Light by Sara R. Horowitz,Amira Bojadzija-Dan,Julia Creet Pdf

The essays in Shadows in the City of Light explore the significance of Paris in the writing of five influential French writers—Sarah Kofman, Patrick Modiano, George Perec, Henri Raczymow, and Irene Nemirovsky—whose novels and memoirs capture and probe the absences of deported Paris Jews. These writers move their readers through wartime and postwar cityscapes of Paris, walking them through streets and arrondissments where Jews once resided, looking for traces of the disappeared. The city functions as more than a backdrop or setting. Its streets and buildings and monuments remind us of the exhilarating promise of the French Revolution and what it meant for Jews dreaming of equality. But the dynamic space of Paris also reminds us of the Holocaust and its aftermath. The shadowed paths traced by these writers raise complicated questions about ambivalence, absence, memory, secularity, and citizenship. In their writing, the urban landscape itself bears witness to the absent Jews, and what happened to them. For the writers treated in this volume, neither their Frenchness nor their Jewishness is a fixed point. Focusing on Paris's dual role as both a cultural hub and a powerful symbol of hope and conflict in Jewish memory, the contributors address intersections and departures among these writers. Their complexity of thought, artistry, and depth of vision shape a new understanding of the impact of the Holocaust on Jewish and French identity, on literature and literary forms, and on the development of Jewish secular culture in Western Europe.

Mountain Shadows by Barbara Milne Deutsch Pdf

Can our dreams sometimes foretell something that may happen? Letty O'Bannon wonders about this. Set against the backdrop of the booming turn-of-the-century Pikes Peak gold rush era, this novel follows clairvoyant Letty through her life of pursuing her childhood dream, love, adventure, tragedy and handling loss. This novel offers a tale of suspense, mystery and romance as Letty learns life's lessons while never giving up her dream. An excerpt from the story follows: While changing clothes, the crystal dropped to the floor. She retrieved it, admiring its resplendent hues reflecting the light coming in the window. As she turned to finish dressing, she thought she saw movement in the crystal. She carried it close to the window and stared into its depths in disbelief. She seemed to see a small child standing at the top of the mountain, beckoning to her. She blinked and looked again, but the apparition was gone. She shook her head to clear it. It must have been her imagination. She gazed intently at the crystal, trying to conjure up the image a second time. The child did not reappear. She replaced the crystal on the table.
