Beschreibung

World Logic explores the crucial art of crafting believable fictional worlds, vital for both creators and audiences of Film & Television and Language Arts. The book emphasizes the importance of internal logic – the consistent set of rules that govern a fictional universe – illustrating how adherence to these self-imposed rules enhances narrative impact. A key insight is that successful world-building isn't about mimicking reality but about establishing believable parameters and consistently operating within them, ensuring audience engagement and preventing the shattering of disbelief.

 
The book progresses systematically, dissecting successful and unsuccessful examples of world-building across various media and genres. It examines core elements such as history, geography, societal structures, and technology, demonstrating how their consistent interaction shapes immersive narratives.

 
By integrating theoretical frameworks from narratology, semiotics, and insights from cognitive science and game theory, World Logic offers a unique perspective on narrative design and audience perception. Written in an accessible style, the book avoids technical jargon while providing practical insights for writers, filmmakers, and game designers. It offers case studies and exercises to apply these principles, focusing on the underlying mechanics of world-building rather than marketing strategies.

 
Ultimately, World Logic equips readers with the tools to create resonant and enduring fictional worlds, improving not only entertainment but also the development of serious games and educational tools.

Warhol After Warhol - Secrets...

Richard Dorment

Long-time art critic Richard Dorment reveals the corruption and lies of the art world and its mystifying authentication process. 
 
 
 
Late one afternoon in the winter of 2003, art critic Richard Dorment answered a telephone call from a stranger. The caller was Joe Simon, an American film producer and art collector. He was ringing at the suggestion of David Hockney, his neighbor in Malibu. A committee of experts called the Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board had declared the two Warhols in his collection to be fake. He wanted to know why and thought Dorment could help. 
 
 
 
This call would mark the beginning of an extraordinary story that would play out over the next ten years and would involve a cast of characters straight out of a n novel. From rock icons and film stars; art dealers and art forgers; to a murdered Russian oligarch and a lawyer for the mob; from courtrooms to auction houses: all took part in a bitter struggle debating the authenticity of a series of paintings by the most famous American artist of the twentieth century. Part detective story, part art history, part memoir, and part courtroom drama, Warhol After Warhol is a spellbinding account of the dark connection between money, power, and art.

Between the Lines -...

Eric Simonson

In the spring of 2022, the renowned Steppenwolf Theatre Company boldly, and perhaps cavalierly, re-emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic with a brand new, 43 million dollar, state-of-the-art theatre. Director Yasen Peyankov insisted he cast the premiere production - a brand new, adaption of The Seagull - with as many Steppenwolf ensemble members as possible. This meant coaxing one non-actor, director and writer Eric Simonson, into coming back to the stage after a 33 year absence. Taking a leap in the dark, and battling the demons of stage-fright, confidence and homesickness, Simonson took up the challenge and started on a journey into the great theatrical unknown. Part diary, part history of the Chicago Theater Renaissance, this memoir takes the reader behind the scenes of a Steppenwolf classic, and inside the head of a man desperate to rediscover the joy and craft of acting.
