Writing with his customary verve and wit, author Ethan Mordden follows the steady liberation of gay themes on the American stage. The story begins in the early twentieth century, when gay characters were virtually banned from productions. The 1920s saw a flurry of plays closed on moral grounds as well as the Wales Padlock Act, which forbade representation of "sex degeneracy". While authorities made consistent attempts to shutter the movement, the public remained curious, and after a few decades of war making, a truce broke out when The Boys In the Band became a national smash hit. From this point on, gay theatre proved too popular to abolish. With this change, theatre was graced with a host of unforgettable characters—from thrill killers to historical figures to drag performers, as well as professional gays (such as the defiantly effeminate window dresser in Kiss of the Spider Woman), closeted gays, and those run-of-the-mill citizens who don't reside entirely within the colorful nonconformist identity (like the two male lovers in the comedy Norman, Is That You?). Spoken plays and musicals, playwrights, directors, and actors all played their part in popularizing the gay movement through art. Gays on Broadway is an essential chronological review of the long journey to bring the culture of gay men and women onto the American stage.Voir livre
The Luba Empire emerged as one of the most influential kingdoms in Central Africa during the pre-colonial period. Rooted in a rich tradition of oral history and cultural heritage, the empire played a central role in shaping trade, political organization, and social structures throughout the region. The Luba people developed a sophisticated society that not only thrived on local commerce but also participated in expansive regional networks, connecting diverse communities across the African continent. The formation of the Luba Empire was marked by a blend of indigenous traditions and innovative political practices. At its core was a system of governance that efficiently harnessed local resources, maintained internal stability, and forged strategic alliances with neighboring groups. This centralized authority, balanced by localized autonomy, enabled the empire to mediate conflicts and expand its influence through both diplomatic and military means. The administrative techniques developed during this era laid the groundwork for a resilient state capable of adapting to shifting economic and social dynamics. Economically, the Luba Empire became a beacon of trade and craftsmanship. Its strategic location allowed it to serve as a vital crossroads for commerce, facilitating the exchange of valuable goods such as salt, iron, and agricultural products. The empire’s success in trade was not only a product of its abundant natural resources but also of the innovative methods its people employed in agriculture, metallurgy, and artisanal production. These economic activities formed the backbone of a prosperous society that celebrated both practical skills and cultural achievements, fostering an environment of continuous growth and learning.Voir livre
Based on very real and practical commentary, life experience, and occasionally, tongue-in-cheek-misfortunes of horror legends, Necessary Death explores how the horror genre offers individuals a unique opportunity for insight and understanding of their own lives. Using some of the most quintessential movies in the genre, Chris Grosso and Preston Fassel invite listeners to an in-depth examination of the human condition—its fears, anxieties, hopes, joys, sorrows, and everything in-between—and how it's all grist for our personal and collective evolutionary mill. A hallmark of the genre is how horror films force their characters to find some semblance of inner strength and wherewithal in order to stand up to the monster, ghost, or villain that is trying to take their lives. Through fascinating discussion of this and other elements, Fassel and Grosso relate these films' dark subject matter and characters to real world issues people face every day. This sharp analysis is complemented by exercises that prompt listeners to consider gratitude, forgiveness, determination, and bravery in the face of adversity. An unusual mix of film study and self-help, Necessary Death might surprise or even shock listeners, but it will also enlighten, educate, and most importantly hearten those looking for an unexpected source of inspiration.Voir livre
