Jackaroo : A Novel of the Kingdom

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description `False, they were all of them false, the stories, as false as the stories of fairies dancing in moonlight glades on Midsummer Night.` But they served a purpose. In a distant time and far-off kingdom, life is hard. People don`t have enough to eat, and winter is upon them. There`s little that offers hope, and many turn to the legends of Jackaroo -- the masked outlaw hero who rides at night giving aid to the helpless and coin to the destitute -- for solace. But Gwyn, the Innkeeper`s daughter -- sensitive, industrious, and independent -- is too practical to believe such tales. But when a snowstorm forces her and a young Lordling to seek refuge in an abandoned house, Gwyn wonders if perhaps she has been too cynical. Hidden away in an old forgotten cupboard, Gwyn discovers a package -- a cloak, a mask, a sword…. Jackaroo? Could the stories be true? It takes a shock and a devastating betrayal for Gwyn to begin to understand what… [detailed...]

Jacking in to the Matrix Franchise: Cultural Reception and Interpretation

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFew media franchises can match The Matrix for enthusiasm of reception and subsequent proliferation. Who in 1999 could have imagined that the momentum of a single film would sustain two more major theatrical releases in a single year, a collection of nine anime cartoons, a best-selling computer game, and more websites than can be counted? Jacking In To The Matrix Trilogy will be the first academic study to take an in-depth look at all of these products, a coherent overview of the franchiseas a whole. The Matrix films are rich with mythological and religious references, as well as drawing upon futuristic fiction. Such richness demands a variety of decoding interpreting skills, and the array of talent in this volume will lay bare many of the strand that have given the Matrix creations such a sense of magic. The book gathers original articles that comment on the cultural and religious implications of The Matrix trilogy, its place within the cyberworlds of… [detailed...]

Though his name inevitably conjures up images of the drip paintings for which he is most famous, this technique was only developed midway through his career. The progression from his earlier work to his final `action` paintings - a veritable revolution of painting as a concept-reveals the genius of this tortured artist whom many call the greatest modern American painter.

Jackson Pollock`s Blue Poles

Description: Book DescriptionThe abstract paintings of the American artist Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) are among the highest achievements of 20th century art. One of Pollock?s masterpieces, `Blue Poles,` is an American painting which has become an Australian icon. A key part of the art history of Australia, its controversial purchase in 1973 by the National Gallery of Australia was a sign for some of Australia?s economic and cultural dependence on the United States. For others it was a sign that Australia was entering a new world in which traditional ties could be broken, and cultural and economic allegiances were open to negotiation. This catalogue brings together a selection of Pollock?s works that help to situate `Blue Poles` in the broader development of the artist?s career. Ranging in date from 1933 to 1952 and covering painting, drawing, and printmaking, the works show the diversity of Pollock?s interests, which included Mexican mural painting, French… [detailed...]
