Script Analysis

Sinopse

Script Analysis explores the core components of cinematic storytelling, offering readers a framework to dissect and appreciate the underlying structure of films and television. It examines both established screenplay structures, like the three-act structure and the hero's journey, and a range of narrative techniques, such as character development, plot devices, and dialogue. Understanding these elements is crucial for aspiring screenwriters and film enthusiasts alike.

The book argues that a thorough grasp of both screenplay structures and narrative techniques is essential for effective cinematic storytelling and film analysis. It progresses by first introducing fundamental screenwriting concepts, then analyzing common and less orthodox screenplay structures through case studies. The latter portion of the book delves into narrative techniques, demonstrating how these concepts can be applied in practical script analysis.

By integrating perspectives from film theory, narrative studies, psychology, sociology, and literary theory, Script Analysis provides a nuanced and comprehensive approach to script evaluation. What sets this book apart is its blend of theoretical rigor and practical application, equipping readers with analytical tools to evaluate a wide range of cinematic works. Rather than offering prescriptive formulas, it provides a framework for understanding the principles of effective storytelling, enabling readers to critically evaluate scripts and make informed decisions about their own creative or scholarly pursuits.

On Hunting - A Definitive Study...

Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, Linda K....

Hunting is our heritage, our heart, and our future.

Where does hunting fit in the modern world? To many, it can seem outdated or even cruel, but as On Hunting affirms, hunting is holistic, honest, and continually relevant. Authors Grossman, Miller, and Cunningham dive deep into the ancient past of hunting and examine its position today, demonstrating that we cannot understand humanity without first understanding hunting. Readers will


·       discover how hunting formed us,


·       examine hunting ethics and their adaptation to modernity,


·       understand the challenges, traditions, and reverence of today's hunter,


·       identify hunting skills and their many applications outside the field,


·       learn why hunting is critical to ecological restoration and preservation, and


·       gain inspiration to share hunting with others.


Drawing from ecology, philosophy, and anthropology and sprinkled with campfire stories, this wide-ranging examination has rich depths for both nonhunters and hunters alike. On Hunting shows that we need hunting still—and so does the wild earth we inhabit.

Psychoanalysis Under Occupation...

Lara Sheehi, Stephen Sheehi

Heavily influenced by Frantz Fanon and critically engaging the theories of decoloniality and liberatory psychoanalysis, Lara Sheehi and Stephen Sheehi platform the lives, perspectives, and insights of psychoanalytically inflected Palestinian psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals, centering the stories that nonclinical Palestinians have entrusted to them over four years of community engagement with clinicians throughout historic Palestine. 
 
 
 
Sheehi and Sheehi document the stories of Palestinian clinicians in relation to settler colonialism and violence but, even more so, in relation to their patients, communities, families, and one another (as a clinical community). In doing so, they track the appearance of settler colonialism as a psychologically extractive process, one that is often effaced by discourses of "normalization," "trauma," "resilience," and human rights, with the aid of clinicians, as well as psychoanalysis. 
 
 
 
Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine unpacks the intersection of psychoanalysis as a psychological practice in Palestine, while also advancing a set of therapeutic theories in which to critically engage and "read" the politically complex array of conditions that define life for Palestinians living under Israeli occupation.

Being Black in America's Schools...

Brian Rashad Fuller

In a polarizing and racially divided America, what do children of color learn about themselves before they even go to school? How do they see themselves and is that image only exacerbated by spending twelve years in a public education system that perpetuates negative stereotypes? Brian Rashad Fuller personally knows that the impact of low expectations can be devastating. He aims to make a difference in this humanizing and very personal portrayal of what it means to be Black in America's schools. 
 
 
 
As a Black man who has spent his life as a student and an educator, Brian shares his own story of navigating the world, overcoming his family struggles, and eventually entering an educational system that he believes is inherently racist, damaging, and disserving. He exposes the challenges Black students face and offers a firsthand account of the emotional and psychological impact made by teachers, administrators, policies, practices, lessons, and student interactions. Most Americans are looking for answers on how to improve our education system—as illustrated by the critical race theory debate—but have not fully understood the lived Black experience, until now. With powerful insight into a thoroughly American institution, Brian offers present-day solutions, and liberating hope, for a centuries-long issue, as well as a galvanizing and radical step forward.
