Roman Polanski: Interviews

2005 y.
Publisher: University Press of Mississippi
Description: Roman Polanski (b. 1933) arrived on the international scene in 1962 with his first feature film, Knife in the Water, and his face would be on the cover of Time magazine by the end of that year. His vibrant, disturbing, and often violent films?including the psychological thriller Rosemary?s Baby, the film noir classic Chinatown, and the somber Holocaust drama The Pianist?have entertained and sometimes infuriated audiences. He has also directed acclaimed adaptations of playsand novels, including Shakespeare?s Macbeth, Ariel Dorfman?s Death and the Maiden, and Thomas Hardy?s Tess of the d?Urbervilles. Stylistically unsettling and thematically varied, Polanski?s films have established him as one of the most talented and controversial European filmmakers of his generation. Polanski?s life has been troubled. He survived the Krakow ghetto and the Holocaust, but his mother died at Auschwitz. His wife Sharon Tate was brutally murdered in 1968… [detailed...]

Roman Polanski

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Roman Polanski`s ability to wring laughter from the most degrading heartbreaks will carry the same wealth of healthy shocks in a hundred years. He creates a macabre beauty to be wooed by and wondered at. But behind the laughter and the beauty is the ghostly truth that Polanski was orphaned by the Nazis and wandered Poland alone from ages 9 to 13. Consider the isolated intensity that bridges Knife in the Water, Cul de Sac, Rosemary`s Baby, Chinatown, Death and the Maiden and his Oscar-winning masterpiece The Pianist. In each, the omniscient viewpoint feels `childlike` in the least innocent sense: we listen and watch, ever-wary, the truth of what`s been hidden, or is being planned in secret, is always a matter of life and death, one`s survival (even within the playful confines of a fantasy) depends on not missing so much as one detail.

Roman Polanski

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
Description: A new take on an eclectic and controversial director. James Morrison`s book offers one of the most comprehensive and critically engaged treatments ever written on Polanski`s work. Tracing the filmmaker`s remarkably diverse career from its beginnings to the present, the book provides commentary on all the major films in their historical, cultural, social, and artistic contexts. By locating Polanski`s work within the genres of comedy and melodrama, Morrison argues that the director is not merely obsessed with the theme of repression, but that his true interest is in the concrete - what is out in the open - and in why it is so rarely seen.

Roman Signer (Contemporary Artists)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: First Monograph on the Explosive and Prolific Swiss Artist Though Roman Signer (b. 1938) identifies himself as a sculptor, his work is without boundaries and doesn`t fit into an artistic mold. He is interested in fire, water, wind and time, inspiring unique and witty artistic expressions that cross and include many different artistic mediums. ROMAN SIGNER, by Gerhard Mack, Paula van den Bosch and Jeremy Millar, the only monograph to cover the scope of this, literally, explosive artist. The Swiss artist is best known for creating events in which simple materials (rockets, balloons, rushing water) react with natural forces to create surprising lyrical results. Part mad scientist, part sorcerer`s apprentice, part Buster Keaton, Signer often appears in these actions, sometimes at considerable risk to himself. Since the mid 1970s, Signer has examined the forces of elements - air, fire, earth and water - in a combination of performance (documented by … [detailed...]

Roman Signer: Projections

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Critic Gregory Volk has written, If you wanted to make a list of major contemporary artists who, for whatever reason, are comparatively little known in the U.S., Roman Signer should be right near the top.` Projections, which brings together 33 years of video and Super-8 film stills with a comprehensive catalogue raisonne, helps give the Swiss artist`s oeuvre the state side exposure it deserves. The footage documents key moments in the artist`s precisely choreographed performances. Signer is known for his poetic hijinks and dramatic experiments with fire, water and air, in 2000, he rode a kayak--towed behind a van--down a road at 20 miles per hour until a hole had worn through the bottom. Seeking out those moments of transition--where materials transform and time seems to accelerate or drag--Signer, through his experimental play with the principles of physics and chemistry, has created an unparalleled body of work that primarily exists as documents of nonreproducible actions.` [detailed...]

Mario Erasmo
Roman Tragedy: Theatre to Theatricality

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Roman tragedies were written for over three hundred years, but only fragments remain of plays that predate the works of Seneca in the mid-first century C.E., making it difficult to define the role of tragedy in ancient Roman culture. Nevertheless, in this pioneering book, Mario Erasmo draws on all the available evidence to trace the evolution of Roman tragedy from the earliest tragedians to the dramatist Seneca and to explore the role played by Roman culture in shaping the perception of theatricality on and off the stage. Performing a philological analysis of texts informed by semiotic theory and audience reception, Erasmo pursues two main questions in this study: how does Roman tragedy become metatragedy, and how did off-stage theatricality come to compete with the theatre? Working chronologically, he looks at how plays began to incorporate a rhetoricized reality on stage, thus pointing to their own theatricality. And he shows how this theatricality, in turn, came to permeate… [detailed...]

Paul R. Abramson
Romance in the Ivory Tower: The Rights and Liberty of Conscience

2007 y.
Publisher: The MIT Press
Description: Allen Ginsberg once declared that `the best teaching is done in bed,` but most university administrators would presumably disagree. Many universities prohibit romantic relationships between faculty members and students, and professors who transgress are usually out of a job. In `Romance in the Ivory Tower`, Paul Abramson takes aim at university policies that forbid relationships between faculty members and students. He argues provocatively that the issue of faculty-student romances transcends the seemingly trivial matter of who sleeps with whom and engages our fundamental constitutional rights. By what authority, Abramson asks, did the university become the arbiter of romantic etiquette among consenting adults? Do we, as consenting adults, have a constitutional right to make intimate choices as long as they do not cause harm? Abramson contends that we do, and bases this claim on two arguments. He suggests that the Ninth Amendment (which states that the Constitution`s… [detailed...]

Joseph Conrad, Ford Madox Ford
Romance

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Joseph Conrad, born Jozef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, (1857-1924) was a Polish-born novelist who spent most of his adult life in Britain. He is regarded as one of the greatest English novelists, which is even more notable because he did not learn to speak English well until he was in his 20s. He is recognized as a master prose stylist. Some of his works have a strain of romanticism, but more importantly he is recognized as an important forerunner of modernist literature. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many writers, including Ernest Hemingway, D.H. Lawrence and Graham Greene. Writing during the apogee of the British Empire, Conrad drew upon his experiences in the British Merchant Navy to create novels and short stories that reflected aspects of a world-wide empire while also plumbing the depths of the human soul. Amongst his best known works are Heart of Darkness (1899), Lord Jim (1900), Under Western Eyes (1911), Victory (1915) and The Rescue (1920). [detailed...]

Romancing the Maya : Mexican Antiquity in the American Imagination, 1820-1915

Description: Book DescriptionDuring Mexico`s first century of independence, European and American explorers rediscovered its pre-Hispanic past. Finding the jungle-covered ruins of lost cities and artifacts inscribed with unintelligible hieroglyphs--and having no ideaof the age, authorship, or purpose of these antiquities--amateur archaeologists, artists, photographers, and religious writers set about claiming Mexico`s pre-Hispanic patrimony as a rightful part of the United States` cultural heritage. In this insightful work, Tripp Evans explores why nineteenth-century Americans felt entitled to appropriate Mexico`s cultural heritage as the United States` own. He focuses in particular on five well-known figures--American writer and amateur archaeologist John Lloyd Stephens, British architect Frederick Catherwood, Joseph Smith, founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and the French emigre photographers Desire Charnay and Augustus Le Plongeon.
