Pulp Fiction - Dana Polan
Pulp Fiction was one of the films that defined American cinema of the 1990s, and remains one of the stand-out movies of its director Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino s style - violent, fast, funny and full of knowing pop culture references - epitomises 90s post-modernism. Pulp Fiction was a phenomenal cult success and one of the first films to generate hot debate in internet chatrooms and on fan websites.Dana Polan s compelling analysis sets out to uncover the style and technique of Pulp Fiction. He shows how broad Tarantino s points of reference are, and analyzes the film s narrative accomplishment and complexity. Where some critics dismissed Pulp Fiction for its violence and its worship of a certain brand of cool, Polan shows how the film exemplifies new kinds of engagement with cultural and social codes, such as those around racial identity. In addition, Polan argues that the film s celebration of macho attitudes is more nuanced than might first appear. In a new afterword to this new edition, Polan looks back on Pulp Fiction 30 years after its first release.

Starring Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta and Uma Thurman, Pulp Fiction exploded on to the screen in 1994 and transformed the direction of contemporary cinema.

Tarantino has spawned a whole host of wannabes in the wake of this, the defining movie of the 1990s. But none has demonstrated the elegant style and compassion that make Tarantino s screenplays so compellingly readable. Nominated for seven Oscars, Pulp Fiction starred John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis and Uma Thurman and won the US Oscar for Best Screenplay, the BAFTA and the prestigious Palme d Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

Sunday Times BestsellerJoin Ted, the beloved canine star of BBC2 s Gone Fishing and bestselling author, as he embarks on a life-changing adventure, and discovers what truly matters to him. What s the real story behind Ted s suitcase? What s in it and why does getting it back mean so much to him?Maybe the answer lies with the film supremo Quentin Tarantino, who said the value of the briefcase in his classic movie Pulp Fiction lay not in its contents, but in the briefcase itself. Rather like fishing, itâ ™s not always about the fish you catch, but the joy of the time you spend on the riverbank, as Ted well knows. Accompanying Paul and Bob on their angling expeditions is one of the greatest pleasures of his life, alongside pocket meat. In Pup Fiction, Ted tells the story of how all these delights collide in one life-changing, breathtaking European adventure.

Ačkoli existuje myriáda možností, jak se naučit dobře spát, přesto mnoho lidí trápí nespavost.V tomto průvodci vám zkušení kognitivně-behaviorální terapeuti nabídnou cestu založenou na mindfulness neboli všímavosti spolu s přijetím vlastních emocí.

With My People - Jonathan Pulphus
A memoir of hard-fought lessons and the price for justice.When the local government in Ferguson, Missouri, and federal authorities failed in their duty to serve justice in 2014, college sophomore Jonathan Pulphus committed to being in the streets and battling for justice in the wake of Michael Brown Jr. s murder. This story traces a nine-month journey toward justice. Despite mistakes, student activists made extraordinary strides toward transforming the community. Many people aspire to fight for something larger than themselves and to make an impact. Few understand what it takes to sustain a movement. Even fewer know the expenses at which gains are made.People would like for you to believe protest is an ineffective tool for change, but history tells us that student activism has been a formidable force leading to substantive change throughout history. Student activism has played a large role in societal transformation--consider the 1964 Mississippi Delta or Apartheid Soweto. Today s students continue this legacy but tell a new story, like that of the Ferguson Uprising.We know why people, especially students, become involved in community organizing. But how should students organize? With My People answers this fundamental and crucial question by bringing together ethnography and notes on community-building, taking readers on a yearlong journey from the front lines of Ferguson to undergraduate campus life at Saint Louis University. Using Pulphus s account of events and notes to students, With My People reveals how youth can navigate setbacks to resist state violence and create opportunities for justice to prevail.

Science Fiction - David Seedhouse
Science Fiction has proved notoriously difficult to define. It has been explained as a combination of romance, science and prophecy; as a genre based on an imagined alternative to the reader s environment; and as a form of fantastic fiction and historical literature. It has also been argued that science fiction narratives are the most engaged, socially relevant, and responsive to the modern technological environment. This Very Short Introduction doesn t offer a history of science fiction, but instead ties examples of science fiction to different historical moments, in order to demonstrate how science fiction has evolved over time. David Seed looks not only at literature, but also at drama and poetry, as well as film. Examining recurrent themes in science fiction he looks at voyages into space, the concept of the alien and alternative social identities, the role of technology in science fiction, and its relation to time - in the past, present, and future. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

The Necessity of Young Adult Fiction - Deborah Lindsay Williams
Discusses how young adult fiction offers new ways of thinking about climate change and definitions of citizenship.The Necessity of Young Adult Fiction argues that YA fiction helps us to think about some of most pressing problems of the twenty-first century by offering imaginative reconceptualizations about identity, nation, family, and the human relationship to the planet. Using examples from YA fiction that range from the Harry Potter series to Nnedi Okorafor s trilogy set in contemporary Nigeria, this book argues that the cultural work of YA fiction shapes readers perceptions, making them receptive to--and invested in--the possibility of positive social change.The novels examined could all be considered fantastical, but they offer insights into the real world that all readers--and particularly young adult readers--might draw on in order to reimagine social structures and the well-being of the planet. The book is designed to bring readers into the conversation about how we might create cosmopolitan societies that are shaped around conversation and engagement rather than fear and isolation. Each of these novels, in different ways, illustrate the dangers inherent in fundamentalist visions of the world.Through its discussions about the relationships between reading and citizenship, monsters and families, the local and the global, The Necessity of Young Adult Fiction demonstrates that YA fiction is doing some of the most important and creative work in literature today.

Consuming Empire in U.S. Fiction, 1865â
What is a reference to an Italian Egyptologist doing in Louisa May Alcott’s portrait of domesticity Little Women? Why does Elizabeth Stuart Phelps’s painter protagonist Avis Dobell know--and care--that her red shawl is dyed with desiccated beetles? Why might W.E.B. Du Bois’s fictional sharecropper display a reproduction of a painting by William-Adolphe Bouguereau near his cotton field? These questions, and more, are answered by Consuming Empire in US Fiction, 1865–1930. An interdisciplinary study of references to internationally-traded commodities in US fiction, Consuming Empire in US Fiction, 1865–1930 assembles an integrated geopolitical analysis of Americans’ material, gendered, and aesthetic experiences of empire at the turn of the twentieth century. Examining allusions to contested goods like cochineal, cotton, oranges, fur, gold, pearls, porcelain, and wheat, Consuming Empire in US Fiction, 1865–1930 reveals a linked global imagination among authors who were often directly or indirectly critical of US imperial ambitions. Furthermore, Consuming Empire in US Fiction, 1865–1930 considers the commodification of art itself, interpreting writers’ allusions to paintings, sculptures, and artists as self-aware acknowledgments of their own complicity in global capitalism. As Consuming Empire in US Fiction, 1865–1930 demonstrates, literary texts have long trained consumers to imagine their relationship to the world through the things they own.

The Origins of Science Fiction - Dr Michael Newton
I seemed to gaze upon a vast space, the limits of which extended far beyond my vision... This anthology gathers together seventeen gripping tales from the nineteenth and early twentieth century that make up the foundations of science fiction. It moves from Mary Shelley to H. G. Wells, from Edgar Allan Poe to W. E. B. Du Bois, and from George Eliot to Jack London. Before the term science fiction was established, writers pursued a new and strange subject matter, to be written about in a startlingly new way. The selected stories in this collection reflect the many diverse paths that led towards science fiction, including scientific Gothic, dystopian fantasies, psychological hoaxes, feminist parables, fictions of time-travel, adventure stories, uncanny tales, and stories of alien encounters. The anthology unveils the power of the literature of the period and exposes our fascination with scientific discovery and the allure (and threat) of the imagined future.This edition includes an introduction by Michael Newton setting out the themes of the tales and exploring the development of science fiction. Newton explores how the stories engage with anxiety about the limits of the rational mind, the fact of Empire and the discoveries of anthropology, the uneasy figure of the scientist, the rapid development of technology, and the presence of the alien other.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2024 - Hugh Howey, John Joseph Adams
A collection of the year’s best science fiction and fantasy short fiction selected by New York Times bestselling author of the Silo series Hugh Howey and series editor John Joseph Adams.“These are dangerous stories. The kind that warp reality and threaten to change the world” warns guest editor Hugh Howey in his introduction. The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2024 promises a treasure trove of audacious characters, daring worldbuilding, and twisted realties. A sibling duo of supernatural hitmen. A traveling spellbreaker and his trusty alligator mount. Superheroes registering for work. Sentient spaceships with an AI-human interface grow up together with their human pilots. From a Korean folk-tale retelling about the goddess of shamans, to a car, resurrected from obsolescence via automancy, for a road trip from California to Maine, these are stories that, for Howey, “challenged my worldview, that made me exercise new mental muscles, and that brought me to tears.”The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2024 includes A.R. CAPETTA • P. DJÈLà CLARK • JAMES S.A. COREY • AMAL EL-MOHTAR • ANDREW SEAN GREER • GRADY HENDRIX • ANN LECKIE • SAM J. MILLER REBECCA ROANHORSE • and others

How Fiction Works - James Wood
Rediscover this deep, practical anatomy of the novel from the strongest ... literary critic we have (New York Review of Books) in this new revised 10th anniversary edition.What do we mean when we say we know a fictional character? What constitutes a telling detail? When is a metaphor successful? Is realism realistic? Why do most endings of novels disappoint?In the tradition of E. M. Forster s Aspects of the Novel and Milan Kundera s The Art of the Novel, How Fiction Works is a study of the main elements of fiction, such as narrative, detail, characterization, dialogue, realism, and style. In his first full-length book of criticism, one of the most prominent critics of our time takes the machinery of story-telling apart to ask a series of fundamental questions. Wood ranges widely, from Homer to Beatrix Potter, from the Bible to John Le Carré, and his book is both a study of the techniques of fiction-making and an alternative history of the novel. Playful and profound, it incisively sums up two decades of bold, often controversial, and now classic critical work, and will be enlightening to writers, readers, and anyone interested in what happens on the page. Should find a place on every novel-lover s shelf. It has the quality all useful works of criticism should have: refined taste, keen observation, and the ability to make the reader argue, passionately, with it Financial Times
