Sinopse

Conceived expressly for Yoko Ono as a gift between friends on the occasion of her eightieth birthday, See Hear Yoko is a visual portrait of an icon of contemporary American cultural history, from her days with John Lennon through to the present. Legendary rock and roll photographer Bob Gruen was welcomed into the lives of John Lennon and Yoko Ono during their years in New York City, when Gruen served as their personal lensman, and he continues to document Yoko today. Approached by his friend Jody Denberg, an Austin rock radio mainstay who had logged twenty-five years of interviews with Yoko, Gruen collaborated with him to create an extraordinary birthday gift. In this breathtaking volume, Gruen has selected more than three hundred classic color and black-and-white photographs—accompanied by text of Yoko's insights gleaned from Denberg's many hours of interviews—to illuminate the intimate story of Yoko Ono at the height of her fame as a woman, wife, mother, and avant-garde artist who keeps creating because, as she notes, "that's who I am." Yoko's role as a peace activist and artist underscores the enduring legacy of the era. See Hear Yoko reveals a modern woman in love, in ascension, in grief, in joy, and in peace. 
Lavish and beautiful, mirroring the deeply personal design of the original volume given to Yoko herself, See Hear Yoko brings into focus an extraordinary woman, and one of the most memorable periods in modern history.

Combining phenomenological analysis and affect theory, this book takes stock of the various ways in which the body in Samuel Beckett’s drama participates in the affective ecology of performance. If the post-human innovation up until the present has worked to decentre the ‘human’, by rendering notions of thinking, experience, and affect impersonal and by developing new models of expression and communication, then this innovation seems to be already underway in Beckett’s theatre of affect where the assault against language is made possible through the thematising of the body as a mode of encountering presence. The corporeal turn in Beckett’s drama therefore has far-reaching implications for the production of meaning in his work.

'NBC University Theater’ initially started in Chicago with a remit to bring adaptations of classic novels, usually Anglo-American, to a radio audience.   
 
Additionally, if listeners signed up they received college credit to a radio-assisted correspondence course.  A study guide, The Handbook of the World's Great Novels, was available for 25 cents.   
 
In its later years it also included short stories and plays and went on to win the distinguished Peabody award. 
 
Unlike many other radio shows University Theatre did not pursue the glamourous stars for its productions but instead relied on excellent distillations of the novels and first class acting alongside high production values. 
 
But now its time to enjoy these timeless novels. Let’s begin.

This stunning volume illustrates the history of the island from whaling hub to summer paradise with more than 200 vintage images.   During the nineteenth century, seafaring industries dominated the economy of Martha’s Vineyard, with busy harbors hosting thousands of ships as they put in for refitting, supplies, and crew members. As the whaling boom diminished, religious revivalism and then tourism brought more and more summer visitors. By the twentieth century, the now familiar yearly cycle of quiet winters alternating with enormous bursts of activity and population in the summers was well established.   Bonnie Stacy, chief curator of the Martha’s Vineyard Museum, has selected images from the museum’s extensive photograph collection to illustrate the history of the island. This collection, donated through the generosity of islanders and visitors over the course of more than ninety years, represents an invaluable record of the Vineyard from the 1840s to the present day.

Lacan, the last owner of Courbet’s The Origin of the World, loved the painting so much that he couldn’t even bring himself to look at it. Instead, he hid it behind a “safer” painting.
The Chinese called it the “valley of the roses” (watch out for the thorns!), the Persians, the “honey-pot” (watch out for the bees!), and the Greeks, “the mound of Venus” (mind the steep climb!); to each era its fantasies and its theories about the feminine mystique. Then there are the testimonies of poets, painters, and even of some famous psychiatrists. The Origin of the World is a work of art only suitable for lovers of intrigue.
