  Transcendentalism - The Greatest...

  Transcendentalism is a philosophical and literary movement that emerged in the early 19th century in America, primarily associated with thinkers like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Margaret Fuller. It developed as a reaction to the industrial revolution, the growing materialism of society, and the influence of traditional European intellectual thought. Transcendentalism posited that knowledge transcends the senses and that reality can be understood through intuition and spiritual insight rather than empirical observation alone. This belief is rooted in the idea that each individual has access to divine truths through personal experience and direct communion with nature. 
  At its core, Transcendentalism emphasizes the importance of the individual and the power of self-reliance. It encourages a connection to nature as a means of finding spiritual clarity and understanding. Nature, for the transcendentalists, was not simply a physical world to be studied but a living, divine entity that could guide personal growth and spiritual development. They argued that individuals should look within themselves and to nature for truth, rather than relying on societal conventions or religious institutions. 
  The roots of Transcendentalism are found in a variety of sources, including German idealism, Eastern philosophy, and the American Puritan tradition. However, it was through figures like Emerson, who published his seminal essay Nature in 1836, that the movement gained significant traction. Emerson’s ideas about self-reliance, individualism, and the divine presence in nature resonated with many Americans seeking an alternative to the rigid societal structures of the time.

  Sharon Marie Tate Polanski (January 24, 1943 - August 9, 1969) was an American actress and model who appeared in advertisements and small television and film roles. After receiving positive reviews for her comedic and dramatic acting performances, Tate was hailed as one of Hollywood's most promising newcomers, being compared favorably with the late Marilyn Monroe. Her first major role was as Jennifer North in the 1967 American drama film Valley of the Dolls, which earned her a Golden Globe Award nomination. On August 9, 1969, Tate and four others were murdered by members of the Manson Family in the home she shared with Polanski, while he was away. She was eight-and-a-half months pregnant. The following audio clips are from 1966 and 1967.

  Imagining the Method - Reception...

  Justin Owen Rawlins

  Only one performance style has dominated the lexicon of the casual moviegoer: "Method acting." The first reception-based analysis of film acting, Imagining the Method investigates how popular understandings of the so-called Method—what its author Justin Rawlins calls "methodness"—created an exclusive brand for white, male actors while associating such actors with rebellion and marginalization. Drawing on extensive archival research, the book maps the forces giving shape to methodness and policing its boundaries. 
   
   
   
  Imagining the Method traces the primordial conditions under which the Method was conceived. It explores John Garfield's tenuous relationship with methodness due to his identity. It considers the links between John Wayne's reliance on "anti-Method" stardom and Marlon Brando and James Dean's ascribed embodiment of Method features. It dissects contemporary emphases on transformation and considers the implications of methodness in the encoding of AI performers. Altogether, Justin Rawlins offers a revisionist history of the Method that shines a light on the cultural politics of methodness and the still-dominant assumptions about race, gender, and screen actors and acting that inform how we talk about performance and performers.

  *AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*An intimate, hilarious memoir of art, friendship, queerness, and found family, written and read by Kate Moennig and Leisha Hailey, stars of The L Word—including never-before-shared stories from behind the scenes of the show and their personal lives. This program includes an exclusive bonus Q&A with fans' questions. "Are you comfortable with nudity?" my manager asked.In the early 2000s, Kate Moennig and Leisha Hailey—both young artists trying to figure it all out—met at auditions for an unknown little TV show. Given that it was a show about lesbians living in Los Angeles, with the first ever ensemble cast of openly queer female characters, Kate and Leisha knew the project was going to be unlike anything else out there—that is, if it even got picked up.Then, one million people watched the premiere. The show, which came to be called The L Word, turned into a trailblazing phenomenon. Its influence on pop culture, in the political arena, and in the lives of viewers has been lasting, impactful, even life-saving. And in addition to changing the course of television history, The L Word changed Kate and Leisha's lives forever.From their first day on set, Kate and Leisha have always had each other’s backs, inseparable to the degree that the cast joked they were like a pair of pants—you couldn't have one leg without the other. Hence the name for their branded partnership, PANTS, launched in 2020, and accompanying podcast, which has been downloaded over twenty million times.This friendship has seen Kate and Leisha through their greatest triumphs and most painful moments, stumbling from closeted queer kids in a hostile culture, to LGBTQ+ activists, actors, podcasters, and business owners. Full of never-before-shared glimpses into the making of The L Word, Kate and Leisha's real-life loves and losses, and their experience as queer icons, So Gay for You is a heartfelt, inspiring love letter to a ride or die friendship over the decades, and a testament to the liberating power of chosen family.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
