Narragansett Brewing Company (RI) (Images of America)

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Narragansett Brewing Company was developed in 1890 by German American descendants in Cranston. Taking advantage of an underground aquifer, the company also made ice for thousands of customers. During Prohibition, the brewery continued to make and deliver ice, as well as a type of soda. After the repeal of Prohibition, the Haffenreffer family purchased the brewery and began recalling previous workers to help restore the brewery and bring it to the highest production rate ever. After World War II, advertising manager Jack Haley shifted the company focus to hospitality with the now famous slogan, ?Hi Neighbor, Have a `Gansett!? Before long, Narragansett was the number one beer in New England. Through vintage photographs, Narragansett Brewing Company chronicles the fascinating history, tragic fall, and exciting rebirth of this local icon. [detailed...]

Avrom Fleishman
Narrated Films : Storytelling Situations in Cinema History

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description In Narrated Films , Avrom Fleishman explores the distinctive literary techniques often used by filmmakers to tell their stories. Through close viewings of ingeniously paired films, Fleishman documents five narrational practices in the cinema: voice-over ( Orpheus and Sunset Boulevard ), dramatized narration, in which the film is a story that one character tells another ( The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Hiroshima Mon Amour ), multiple narration, in which a number of characters tell the story that is the film ( Rashomon and Zelig ), written narration, whether through diaries or letters ( Letter from an Unknown Woman and Diary of a Country Priest ), and the cinematic version of interior monologue, which Fleishman terms mindscreen narration ( Brief Encounter and Daybreak ).

Elizabeth Tonkin
Narrating Our Pasts: The Social Construction of Oral History

1995 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: In this book, Elizabeth Tonkin, an anthropologist, uses an interdisciplinary approach to investigate the construction and interpretation of oral histories. She argues for a deeper understanding of their oral and social characteristics. Oral accounts of past events are guides to the future, as well as being social activities in which tellers claim authority to speak to particular audiences. Like written history and literature, orality has its shaping genres and aesthetic conventions and, likewise, has to be interpreted through them. Tonkin illustrates her argument from a wide range of examples of memory, narration and oral tradition, including many from Europe and the Americas, and with a particular focus on oral histories from the Jlao Kru of Liberia.

Barbara Czarniawska
Narrating the Organization: Dramas of Institutional Identity (New Practices of Inquiry)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The most common social phenomenon of Western societies is the organization, yet those involved in real-world managing are not always willing to reveal the intricacies of their everyday muddles. Barbara Czarniawska argues that in order to understand these uncharted territories, we need to gather local and concrete stories about organizational life and subject them to abstract and metaphorical interpretation. Using a narrative approach unique to organizational studies, Czarniawska employs literary devices to uncover the hidden workings of organizations. She applies cultural metaphors to public administration in Sweden to demonstrate, for example, how the dynamics of a screenplay can illuminate the budget disputes ofan organization. She shows how the interpretive description of organizational worlds works as a distinct genre of social analysis, and her investigations ultimately disclose the paradoxical nature of organizational life: we… [detailed...]

Richard Meek
Narrating the Visual in Shakespeare

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book examines Shakespeare`s fascination with the art of narrative and the visuality of language. Richard Meek complicates our conception of Shakespeare as either a `man of the theatre` or a `literary dramatist`, suggesting ways in which his works themselves debate the question of text versus performance. Beginning with an exploration of the pictorialism of Shakespeare`s narrative poems, the book goes on to examine several moments in Shakespeare`s dramatic works when characters break off the action to describe an absent, `offstage` event, place or work of art. Meek argues that Shakespeare does not simply prioritise drama over other forms of representation, but rather that he repeatedly exploits the interplay between different types of mimesis - narrative, dramatic and pictorial - in order to beguile his audiences and readers. Setting Shakespeare`s works in their literary and rhetorical contexts, and engaging with contemporary literary theory, the book offers new readings of `Venus… [detailed...]

Arthur C. Danto
Narration and Knowledge

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Now in its third edition, Narration and Knowledge is a classic work exploring the nature of historical knowledge and its reliance on narrative. Analytical philosopher Arthur C. Danto introduces the concept of `narrative sentences,` in which an event is described with reference to later events (for example, `the Thirty Years` War began in 1618`) and discusses why such sentences cannot be understood until the later event happens (no one could have said in 1618 that `the Thirty Years` War began today`). Danto compares narrative and scientific explanation and explores the legitimacy of historical laws. He also argues that history is an autonomous and humanist discipline incapable of being reduced to scientific descriptions. Lydia Goehr`s new introduction illustrates Danto`s main arguments by questioning her very role, first, as an introducer of a book that has not yet been read by readers and, second, as an interpreter of a book written forty years ago. Frank Ankersmit`s… [detailed...]

Erika Langmuir
Narrative : National Gallery Pocket Guide (National Gallery London Publications)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionEvery painting evokes stories, often as many stories as it has spectators. Yet the stories are not necessarily those the artists meant to tell. Narrative paintings, explains Erika Langmuir, become harder for spectators to understand when they are shown out of their original context. Over time, viewers become less familiar with the literature and artistic conventions of the past, and when painters draw on more wide-ranging and obscure sources, the narrative structures embedded in visual art are frequently left unexplored. In this beautifully illustrated Pocket Guide, Langmuir familiarizes the modern viewer with some of the best or most intriguing examples of Western narrative painting. She examines the different styles of narrative painting and demonstrates how narrative pictures evolved, how they differ from others that only seem to convey stories?and how viewers? irrepressible tendency to make up stories eventually helped to erode that difference.

David M. Boje
Narrative Methods for Organization and Communication Research (Sage Series in Management Research)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: An essential guide for academics and researchers needing to look at alternative discourse analysis strategies. As a research tool, narrative methods have become increasingly useful in organization studies, where much research involves the interpretation of `stories` in some form. This methodology can be applied where qualitative story analyses can help to assess interview, newspaper or web document stories for research projects. In this book, Boje sets out eight analysis options that can deal with storytelling, recognizing that stories in organizations can be self-destructing, flowing, networking and not at all static. In so doing, he shows ways in which narrative methods can be supplemented by `anti-narrative` methods, where fragmented and collective storytelling can be interpreted. [detailed...]

Narrative as Virtual Reality: Immersion and Interactivity in Literature and Electronic Media (Parallax: Re-visions of Culture and Society)

2003 y.
Publisher: The Johns Hopkins University Press
Description: Is there a significant difference in attitude between immersion in a game and immersion in a movie or novel? What are the new possibilities for representation offered by the emerging technology of virtual reality? As Marie-Laure Ryan demonstrates in Narrative as Virtual Reality, the questions raised by new, interactive technologies have their precursors and echoes in pre-electronic literary and artistic traditions. Formerly a culture of immersive ideals--getting lost in a good book, for example--we are becoming, Ryan claims, a culture more concerned with interactivity. Approaching the idea of virtual reality as a metaphor for total art, Narrative as Virtual Reality applies the concepts of immersion and interactivity to develop a phenomenology of reading. Ryan`s analysis encompasses both traditional literary narratives and the new textual genres made possible by the electronic revolution of the past few years, such as hypertext, interactive movies and drama, digital installation… [detailed...]

Narrative-Based Practice in Speech-Language Pathology

2007 y.
Publisher: Plural Publishing Inc
Description: This book addresses the `clinician side` of the therapeutic equation by spotlighting the interactional aspects of clinical work in speech-language pathology, and encourages the development of interactional skills and attitudes as the clinician gains experience. The method used to explore this topic is personal narrative, a commonly used tool in other disciplines including medicine - `listening to patients` - and occupational therapy, but thus far little explored in speech-language pathology. The first section of the book provides a conceptual and theoretical framework for the use of narratives, and synthesizes knowledge from narrative-based work that is relevant to clinical practice in speech-language pathology. Included are a series of autoethnographic narratives that describe important turning points in the author`s own development as a clinician. By assuming that her own development as a clinician is typical, the author provides examples that can be discussed and reflected on… [detailed...]
