Leveling Up With The Law of Attraction
You must be wondering why there are certain people who seem like they attract anything, anyone and everything into their life. You seem them at work or at your local bar. Something about them seems mysterious and certain at the same time. They have everything that a man can ask for. A car, a beautiful house, a gorgeous wife and every kind of opportunity is magnetized toward them. Yet those people look just like you, they possess nothing special yet they have so much. You sit and wonder what they have that you don’t? And how you can get a piece of what they are getting? You do not have to look any further because your way to success can be attained through the Law of Attraction. The Law of ...
Camera Obscura
Kofman contrasts the mechanical function of the camera obscura as a kind of copy-machine, rendering a mirror-image of the work, with its metaphorical use in the work of Marx, Nietzche and Freud.
Eight Flavors
This unique culinary history of America offers a fascinating look at our past and uses long-forgotten recipes to explain how eight flavors changed how we eat. The United States boasts a culturally and ethnically diverse population which makes for a continually changing culinary landscape. But a young historical gastronomist named Sarah Lohman discovered that American food is united by eight flavors: black pepper, vanilla, curry powder, chili powder, soy sauce, garlic, MSG, and Sriracha. In Eight Flavors, Lohman sets out to explore how these influential ingredients made their way to the American table. She begins in the archives, searching through economic, scientific, political, religious, a...
Knowledge Panel Mastery: How to get a Google Bio for Your Personal Brand or Business.
If someone is searching for you or your business, they will most likely search on Google first. That notion’s already set up in how we use “google” as if it were its own verb. Every day consumers rely heavily on being able to find the product or service they need by typing for it in the Google search panel. If you or your business do not show up, then you might as well be invisible. If you are someone whose brand relies on their own name, then that is even worse. So how do you know you will appear in Google search? There are different results you could get. The first is your website link that could appear (if you are lucky) on page one of the search results. The other is a type of gray box that often has a picture with it and, if you are an individual, statistics such as your alma mater, birthday, height, date, weight, spouses, publications, etc. This type of result is called the Knowledge Panel. If you have got a local or personal brand, then you might be able to indirectly dictate what Google can show on that panel.
Drama Trauma
In this engaging cross-disciplinary study, Timothy Murray examines the artistic struggle over traumatic fantasies of race, gender, sexuality, and power. Establishing a retrospective dialogue between past and present, stage and video, Drama Trauma links the impact of trauma on recent political projects in performance and video with the specters of difference haunting Shakespeare's plays. The book provides close readings of cultural formations as diverse as Shakespearean drama, the Statue of Liberty, contemporary plays by women, African-American performance, and feminist interventions in video, performance and installation. The texts discussed include: * installations by Mary Kelly and Dawn Dedeaux, * plays by Ntozake Shange, Rochelle Owens, Adrienne Kennedy, Marsha Norman and Amiri Baraka * performances by Robbie McCauley, Jordan, Orlan, and Carmelita Tropicana * stage, film and video productions of King Lear, Othello, Romeo and Juliet and All's Well that Ends Well.
The Virtual Window
From the Renaissance idea of the painting as an open window to the nested windows and multiple images on today's cinema, television, and computer screens: a cultural history of the metaphoric, literal, and virtual window. As we spend more and more of our time staring at the screens of movies, televisions, computers, and handheld devices—"windows" full of moving images, texts, and icons—how the world is framed has become as important as what is in the frame. In The Virtual Window, Anne Friedberg examines the window as metaphor, as architectural component, and as an opening to the dematerialized reality we see on the screen. In De pictura (1435), Leon Battista Alberti famously instructed p...
The Architecture of Phantasmagoria
In a time of mass-mediated modernity, the city becomes, almost by definition, a constitutively ‘mediated’ city. Today, more than ever before, the omnipresence of media in every sphere of culture is creating a new urban ontology, saturating, fracturing, and exacerbating the manifold experience of city life. The authors describe this condition as one of 'hyper-mediation' – a qualitatively new phase in the city’s historical evolution. The concept of phantasmagoria has pride of place in their study; using it as an all-embracing explanatory framework, they explore its meanings as a critical category to understand the culture, and the architecture, of the contemporary city. Andreotti and L...

Techniques of the Observer
Jonathan Crary's Techniques of the Observer provides a dramatically new perspective on the visual culture of the nineteenth century, reassessing problems of both visual modernism and social modernity. This analysis of the historical formation of the observer is a compelling account of the prehistory of the society of the spectacle. In Techniques of the Observer Jonathan Crary provides a dramatically new perspective on the visual culture of the nineteenth century, reassessing problems of both visual modernism and social modernity. Inverting conventional approaches, Crary considers the problem of visuality not through the study of art works and images, but by analyzing the historical construct...
