As You Like It (The New Cambridge Shakespeare) - PDF
نویسندگان: William Shakespeare, Michael Hattaway خلاصه: Shakespeare's As You Like It can appear bright or somber in performance: a feast of language and a delight for comic actors; or a risk-taking exploration of gender roles. This edition offers an account of what makes the play both innocent and dangerous, mapping the complexities of its setting (a no-man's-land related to both France and England) and giving an ample commentary on its language and an analytical account of performance.

نویسندگان: Elizabeth Brundage خلاصه: He had been watching her for days. Methodically, he’d researched her background on the Internet. She’dbeen raised in New Jersey and had gone to Yale—according to Variety she was on the fast track andHarold Unger, her boss at Gladiator Films, was paying her six figures for it.Surprisingly, Hedda Chase was not attractive. A photograph revealed the calamity of her looks, a gangly,unsmiling woman in somber clothing, with a bent nose that should have been fixed and a distracting littlemole on her cheek that beckoned a dermatologist. It was a face you might have seen in a history book,chronicling some anonymous woman’s plight in the Dust Bowl, and Hugh could only assume that, in a townlike Hollywood, where most of the women insisted on being perfect, her indifference to her appearance wasdeliberate and may have accounted for the attitude she exuded, a kind of forlorn complacency. She lived ina bungalow in Los Feliz, on Lomita Avenue. It was a one-story Spanish-style cottage, circa 1920s, hiddenbehind tall hedges, with a single garage in the rear. A small toolshed supplied an ideal hiding place, and itwas from inside its sweltering quarters that he’d witnessed her for the first time. At half past six on aWednesday evening in late spring a vintage blue BMW pulled into the driveway and parked in the garage,its flanks buffed to a shine. Chase emerged from the dark garage into the golden haze of sunset, pulling hersunglasses onto her head. She was talking to someone on a cell phone, a stack of scripts under her arm.Just the sight of her made him sweat. In truth, Hugh was accustomed to feeling inferior around certainwomen, his wife being one of the few exceptions—it was something he’d been working on with histherapist. Even his boss at Equitable Life, a consummate barracuda, liked to remind him of his pitiablestatus on the corporate food chain. As Chase passed the shed, he caught a whiff of her perfume, ajackhammer jasmine, and felt the prickly little hairs on his neck go stiff. She paused in the driveway, listeningwith contempt to whoever was on the other end of the conversation. She was dressed in a droopyensemble, a scarf tied around her head in a failed attempt at bohemian flair. It was no outfit for a studioexecutive, he thought. A plane flew overhead, roaring over the orange rooftops. She shut the phone irritablyand went up the steps of the small porch, unlocked the door and disappeared inside. A light came on in thefoyer and then another in what he predicted was her bedroom.It was almost dark. Through the small window of the shed he could see the last of the sun sinking into thebrown horizon. The air began to cool. A car pulled into the adjacent garage and a moment later a manemerged, Chase’s neighbor, and disappeared inside the house next door. The air smelled good, someonegrilling a steak. Hugh slid out of the shed and walked down the concrete driveway. A shoulder-high cementwall ran along the edge of the property, over which Hugh could see the neighboring yards, the lights justcoming on in windows, a trio of children being called indoors for supper. It seemed like Hedda Chase liveda nearly ideal life, he thought idly, one that he would intentionally disrupt, just as she had disrupted his.He grabbed a metal green chair, the sort of chair his grandmother would put out on her porch insummertime, and brought it around to the side of the house where the lights from the kitchen windowstreamed out onto the driveway. He climbed up onto it, wobbly as a surfer, and looked inside. There shestood at the sink—they were facing each other, the thin glass of the window between them—opening a jar ofherring. Gingerly, as if involved in a scientific experiment, she forked the fish onto a cracker, hors d’oeuvresstyle, and ate it then took a glass from the cupboard and filled it with vodka. Sipping her drink, she turned onthe radio. The phone rang and she answered it, frowning. He heard her say: “No, Mother! I’ve told youbefore, I can’t do that. I can’t and I won’t.

Oh, Say, Can You See: The Semiotics of the Military in Hawai'i (Borderlines series) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Kathy E. Ferguson خلاصه: Everywhere you look in Hawai‘i, you see the military. Yet in dailylife relatively few people in Hawai‘i actually see the military at all. Itis hidden in plain sight.1 This paradox of visibility and invisibility, ofthe available and the hidden, marks the terrain investigated in thisbook.2For something to be in plain sight it must mark a variety ofspaces, projecting itself into a number of landscapes. For somethingto be hidden it must be indiscernible, camouflaged, inconspicuouslyfolded into the fabric of daily life. The key to this incompatibility is aseries of narratives of naturalization and reassurance. The narrativesof naturalization imbricate military institutions and discourses intodaily life so that they become “just the way things are.” The narra-tives of reassurance kick in with a more prescriptive tone, markingthe military presence in Hawai‘i as necessary, productive, heroic,desirable, good. The two narratives cross-fertilize and enliven oneanother—the military presence here is named as “natural,” thereforeas desirable, and constructive, therefore welcome. This discursiveinterbreeding between what is natural and what is good results ina tone of inevitability: what is, is good and in any case cannot bechanged.This book argues for four related claims about the military inHawai‘i. First, it is a particular kind of order, with identifiable conse-quences for Hawai‘i’s social, political, and geographic landscapes;

نویسندگان: George Loring, S.I. خلاصه:  *equivalent of 115 million suns26. Alfa of Hercules, which is 1,200 light years away, and is the largestof all known stars, is eight million billion times larger than the sun27.In order to understand the enormity of these celestial bodies , we can say that the orbit of themoon around the earth fits inside the Sun, and that the radius of Antares is equal to the diameter ofearth’s orbit, that is about 300,000,000 km, and that the diameter of the orbit of Pluto which is12,000 million km, is a tenth of the radius of Alfa of Hercules.All of the data mentioned above was calculated for me by an astronomer.The largest known radio star is DA/240 which has a diameter of six million light years28. Thediameter of this radio-star is sixty times greater than the diameter of our galaxy, the Milky Way,which is only about one hundred thousand light years.5. These gigantic objects travel at great speeds.Earth travels at one hundred thousand kilometers per hour, which is about thirty kilometers persecond29.The Sun is traveling towards the Constellation of Hercules at a rate of 300 km per second.The Constellation of Virgo is moving away from us at a speed of one thousand kilometers persecond30The Cumulus of Boyero is leaving us at a speed of one hundred thousand kilometers persecond31.Because of the speedy motion towards the red ray spectrum we can calculate that there arestars that are moving at a rate of 276,000 km per second, or about 92% of the speed of light

نویسندگان: José Rabasa خلاصه: Folio 46r from Codex Telleriano-Remensis was created in the sixteenth century under the supervision of Spanish missionaries in central Mexico. As an artifact of seismic cultural and political shifts, the manuscript painting is a singular document of indigenous response to Spanish conquest. Examining the ways in which the folio's tlacuilo (indigenous painter/writer) creates a pictorial vocabulary, this book embraces the place "outside" history from which this rich document emerged.Applying contemporary intellectual perspectives, including aspects of gender, modernity, nation, and visual representation itself, José Rabasa reveals new perspectives on colonial order. Folio 46r becomes a metaphor for reading the totality of the codex and for reflecting on the postcolonial theoretical issues now brought to bear on the past. Ambitious and innovative (such as the invention of the concepts of elsewheres and ethnosuicide, and the emphasis on intuition), Tell Me the Story of How I Conquered You embraces the performative force of the native scribe while acknowledging the ineffable traits of 46r--traits that remain untenably foreign to the modern excavator/scholar. Posing provocative questions about the unspoken dialogues between evangelizing friars and their spiritual conquests, this book offers a theoretic-political experiment on the possibility of learning from the tlacuilo ways of seeing the world that dislocate the predominance of the West.

The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding from You - PDF
نویسندگان: Eli Pariser خلاصه: An eye-opening account of how the hidden rise of personalization on the Internet is controlling-and limiting-the information we consume. In December 2009, Google began customizing its search results for each user. Instead of giving you the most broadly popular result, Google now tries to predict what you are most likely to click on. According to MoveOn.org board president Eli Pariser, Google's change in policy is symptomatic of the most significant shift to take place on the Web in recent years-the rise of personalization. In this groundbreaking investigation of the new hidden Web, Pariser uncovers how this growing trend threatens to control how we consume and share information as a society-and reveals what we can do about it. Though the phenomenon has gone largely undetected until now, personalized filters are sweeping the Web, creating individual universes of information for each of us. Facebook-the primary news source for an increasing number of Americans-prioritizes the links it believes will appeal to you so that if you are a liberal, you can expect to see only progressive links. Even an old-media bastion like The Washington Post devotes the top of its home page to a news feed with the links your Facebook friends are sharing. Behind the scenes a burgeoning industry of data companies is tracking your personal information to sell to advertisers, from your political leanings to the color you painted your living room to the hiking boots you just browsed on Zappos. In a personalized world, we will increasingly be typed and fed only news that is pleasant, familiar, and confirms our beliefs-and because these filters are invisible, we won't know what is being hidden from us. Our past interests will determine what we are exposed to in the future, leaving less room for the unexpected encounters that spark creativity, innovation, and the democratic exchange of ideas. While we all worry that the Internet is eroding privacy or shrinking our attention spans, Pariser uncovers a more pernicious and far- reaching trend on the Internet and shows how we can- and must-change course. With vivid detail and remarkable scope, The Filter Bubble reveals how personalization undermines the Internet's original purpose as an open platform for the spread of ideas and could leave us all in an isolated, echoing world.
