Through a Lens Darkly Cascade Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

What if we ask questions concerning sin and redemption outside of the religious or theological milieu? After all, ""sin"" functions something like religious code language for that which is problematic in human existence. But all humans deal with our fragility and our penchant for harming ourselves or others, and all humans seek to resolve these issues. Might the religious community learn from those outside our gates? Accordingly, in this book a theologian seeks to gain insight from the way seven outstanding filmmakers of our time set up the problems of human existence and seek to resolve them over a series of their films. Explore with her how Clint Eastwood, Woody Allen, Spike Lee, the Coen brothers, John Sayles, Ang Lee, and Terrence Malick define human problems and explore resolutions; mark the overlap with Christianity, but more importantly, ponder the contrasts. You'll never watch films the same way again! ""This highly enjoyable book uncovers deep spiritual themes in the works of acclaimed movie directors. In clear and vivid prose, Marjorie Suchocki helps the reader appreciate powerful threads of redemption, sacrifice, love, forgiveness, community, and sheer zest in dozens of films. Suchocki's insight shines through on each life-affirming page. You'll never watch the movies the same way again."" --Douglas Todd, journalist, Vancouver Sun, Vancouver ""In this stimulating book, Marjorie Suchocki provides us with an impressive theological reflection on redemption in the work of seven distinguished filmmakers. Suchocki helps readers see the genius of these filmmakers reflected in the breadth and complexity of their portrayals of redemption as traced from within stories of violence, moral ambiguity, evil and absurdity, tragedy and comedy, corruption and moral responsibility, forbidden love, isolation, and community. A tremendous resource for theologians and film lovers alike."" --Bryan Stone, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Boston University School of Theology ""Through a lens darkened by unjust suffering, a breathtaking story unfolds. With cinematographic drama, succinctness, and beauty, Marjorie Suchocki narrates a story of the stories told of violence and redemption in the movies. Whether you have seen the specific movies or not, whether you might lead a discussion, teach a class, or just deepen your own sense of this powerful medium, whether you seek spiritual or just honest responses to the biggest questions, this wise, usable, and exciting book will leave you seeing--differently."" --Catherine Keller, Professor of Constructive Theology, Drew University Marjorie Hewitt Suchocki is professor emerita at Claremont School of Theology, where she held the Ingraham Chair of Theology and also served as Dean. In addition to her teaching and writing career, she also is the founding director of the Whitehead International Film Festival, begun in 2002. She serves on ecumenical juries in places as varied as Montreal, Berlin, Washington, DC, and Miami, and often lectures on film and theology in churches, colleges, and seminaries.

Making of a Counter Culture University of California Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

When it was published twenty-five years ago, this book captured a huge audience of Vietnam War protesters, dropouts, and rebels - and their baffled elders. Theodore Roszak found common ground between 1960s student radicals and hippie dropouts in their mutual rejection of what he calls the technocracy - the regime of corporate and technological expertise that dominates industrial society. He traces the intellectual underpinnings of the two groups in the writings of Herbert Marcuse and Norman O. Brown, "Allen Ginsberg" and "Paul Goodman". In a new introduction, Roszak reflects on the evolution of counter culture since he coined the term in the sixties. Alan Watts wrote of "The Making of a Counter Culture" in the "San Francisco Chronicle" in 1969, 'If you want to know what is happening among your intelligent and mysteriously rebellious children, this is the book.The generation gap, the student uproar, the New Left, the beats and hippies, the psychedelic movement, rock music, the revival of occultism and mysticism, the protest against our involvement in Vietnam, and the seemingly odd reluctance of the young to buy the affluent technological society - all these matters are here discussed, with sympathy and constructive criticism, by a most articulate, wise, and humane historian.

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Automatic Wealth, The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind-Including:As a Man Thinketh, The Science of Getting Rich, The Way to Wealth and Think and Grow Rich The Bestsellers on this Book give sound advice about money or how to obtain it. Just shoot to the stars and stay focused on your dreams and it will happen. There is nothing that we can imagine, that we can't do. So what are we waiting for, let's begin the journey of self fullfillment. 4 Bestsellers in 1 Book: As a Man Thinketh by James Allen Your thoughts and your dreams determine what you are and what you will be. This little book is meant to stimulate men and women to the discovery and perception of the truth that they themselves are makers of themselves, by virtue of the thoughts which they choose and encourage. Contents: Effect of Thought on Circumstances; Effect of Thought on Health and Body; Thought and Purpose; Thought Factor in Achievement; Vision and Ideals; Serenity; The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles, THIS book is pragmatical, not philosophical; a practical manual, not a treatise upon theories. It is intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money; who wish to get rich first, and philosophize afterward. It is for those who have, so far, found neither the time, the means, nor the opportunity to go deeply into the study of metaphysics, but who want results and who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis for action, without going into all the processes by which those conclusions were reached. The Way to Wealth by Benjamin Franklin The first American book on personal finance, The Way to Wealth by Benjamin Franklin is still the best and wisest money book ever written. Originally published in 1758 as the preface to Poor Richard' s Almanack, this little gem has been through innumerable printings and sold millions of copies to those in search of smart but entertaining advice about hard work, earning and saving money and debt. As the 21st Century charges along and the current economic climate continues to send out mixed messages, Franklin' s simple but wise commentary on the value of industry and frugality resonates as much for us today as it did for listeners nearly 350 years ago. This book is very short, but he gets to the point. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill "Whatever your mind can conceive and believe it can achieve." Napoleon Hill Be prepared, therefore, when you expose yourself to the influence of this philosophy, to experience a CHANGED LIFE which may help you not only to negotiate your way through life with harmony and understanding, but also to prepare you for the accumulation of material riches in abundance. Teaching, for the first time, the famous Carnegie formula for money-making, based upon the THIRTEEN PROVEN STEPS TO RICHES. Organized through 25 years of research, in collaboration with more than 500 distinguished men of great wealth, who proved by their own achievements that this philosophy is practical.

Monsters Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

From the author of the New York Times best seller Poser and the acclaimed memoir Love and Trouble, a passionate, provocative, blisteringly smart interrogation of how we make and experience art in the age of #MeToo, and of the link between genius and monstrosity.In this unflinching, deeply personal book that expands on her instantly viral Paris Review essay, "What Do We Do with the Art of Monstrous Men?" Claire Dederer asks: Can we love the work of Hemingway, Polanski, Naipaul, Miles Davis, or Picasso? Should we love it? Does genius deserve special dispensation? Is male monstrosity the same as female monstrosity? Does art have a mandate to depict the darker elements of the psyche? And what happens if the artist stares too long into the abyss? She explores the audience's relationship with artists from Woody Allen to Michael Jackson, asking: How do we balance our undeniable sense of moral outrage with our equally undeniable love of the work? In a more troubling vein, she wonders if an artist needs to be a monster in order to create something great. And if an artist is also a mother, does one identity inexorably, and fatally, interrupt the other? Highly topical, morally wise, honest to the core, Monsters is certain to incite a conversation about whether and how we can separate artists from their art.
