Reading For The Plot Design And Intention In Narrative

Must We Mean What We Say

Montreal has been de.tcribed as the underground film capital of North America. Certainly the enthusiasm aroused by the 11th International Festival of New Cinema, held Oct. 29 Nov. 7 attests to a demonstrable receptivity to non-mainstream film. But a festival remains a festival, the ejchihitory high point of a long, hard road At the beginning of that road stands the lone filmmaker, burdened with dreams hut without money or support ; often with barely enough equipment. For a view from that end of the road, Emil Sher describes the creation of a new Montreal film co-op. When immigrants first arrived in Montreal at the turn of the century with suitcases and lirearas in hand, it was on the Main St. Lawrence Boulevard that many of them scl up shop and replanted their roots. From grocers selling pickles out of wooden barrels to dry goods merchants hawking their wares, they flanked the sidewalks in a colorful blend of languages and lifestyles. So it seems appropriate that a group of young filmmakers who have joined forces to form a cooperative where diversity can thrive should choose to establish themselves on the Main. Nestled on top of a bakery. Main Film is a new coop that serves as a resource center for those who want to pursue ahemative filmmaking.

The Act of Seeing with One’s Own Eyes

Charles Darwin's seminal formulation of the theory of evolution, "On the Origin of Species" continues to be as controversial today as when it was first published. This "Penguin Classics" edition contains an introduction and notes by William Bynum, and features a cover designed by Damien Hirst. Written for a general readership, "On the Origin of Species" sold out on the day of its publication and has remained in print ever since. Instantly and persistently controversial, the concept of natural selection transformed scientific analysis about all life on Earth. Before the "Origin of Species", accepted thinking held that life was the static and perfect creation of God. By a single, systematic argument Darwin called this view into question. His ideas have affected public perception of everything from religion to economics. William Bynum's introduction discusses Darwin's life, the publication and reception of the themes of "On the Origin of Species", and the subsequent development of its major themes. The new edition also includes brief biographies of some of the most important scientific thinkers leading up to and surrounding the "Origin of Species", suggested further reading, notes and a chronology. Charles Darwin (1809-82), a Victorian scientist and naturalist, has become one of the most famous figures of science to date. The advent of "On the Origin of Species" by means of natural selection in 1859 challenged and contradicted all contemporary biological and religious beliefs. If you enjoyed "On the Origin of Species", you might like Darwin's "The Descent of Man", also available in "Penguin Classics".

By colonizing and interconnecting more areas of life ever more deeply, empire has actually created the possibility for a revolutionary kind of democracy. Now the previously silent, oppressed masses' can form a multitude capable of bringing about radical steps in the liberation of humankind. Exhilarating in its ambition, range and depth of insight, Multitude consolidates the stature of its authors as two of the world's most exciting and important political philosophers.

Multitude: War and Democracy in the Age of Empire

This is a profound exploration of the current wars, looking at violence, gender and different forms of resistance In "Frames of War", Judith Butler explores the media's portrayal of state violence, a process integral to the way in which the West wages modern war This portrayal has saturated our understanding of human life, and has led to the exploitation and abandonment of whole peoples, who are cast as existential threats rather than as living populations in need of protection These people are framed as already lost, to imprisonment, unemployment and starvation, and can easily be dismissed In the twisted logic that rationalizes their deaths, the loss of such populations is deemed necessary to protect the lives of 'the living' This disparity, Butler argues, has profound implications for why and when we feel horror, guilt, loss and indifference, both in the context of war and, increasingly, everyday life In this urgent response to increasingly dominant methods of coercion, violence and racism, Butler calls for a reconceptualization of the Left, one united in opposition and resistance to the illegitimate and arbitrary effects of state violence
