Investigating Stranger Things
Author: Tracey Mollet
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030663140
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
This edited collection explores the narrative, genre, nostalgia and fandoms of the phenomenally successful Netflix original series, Stranger Things. The book brings together scholars in the fields of media, humanities, communications and cultural studies to consider the various ways in which the Duffer Brothers’ show both challenges and confirms pre-conceived notions of cult media. Through its three sections on texts, contexts and receptions, the collection examines all aspects of the series’ presence in popular culture, engaging in debates surrounding cult horror, teen drama, fan practices, and contemporary anxieties in the era of Trump. Its chapters seek to address relatively neglected areas of scholarship in the realm of cult media, such as set design, fashion, and the immersive Secret Cinema Experience. These discussions also serve to demonstrate how cult texts are facilitated by the new age of television, where notions of medium specificity are fundamentally transformed and streaming platforms open up shows to extensive analysis in the now mainstream world of cult entertainment.

Strange Things
Author: Margaret Atwood
Publisher: Hachette UK
ISBN: 0748114319
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 115
Book Description
Margaret Atwood's witty and informative book focuses on the imaginative mystique of the wilderness of the Canadian North. She discusses the 'Grey Owl Syndrome' of white writers going native; the folklore arising from the mysterious-- and disastrous -- Franklin expedition of the nineteenth century; the myth of the dreaded snow monster, the Wendigo; the relations between nature writing and new forms of Gothic; and how a fresh generation of women writers in Canada have adapted the imagery of the Canadian North for the exploration of contemporary themes of gender, the family and sexuality. Writers discussed include Robert Service, Robertson Davies, Alice Munro, E.J. Pratt, Marian Engel, Margaret Laurence, and Gwendolyn MacEwan. This superbly written and compelling portrait of the mysterious North is at once a fascinating insight into the Canadian imagination, and an exciting new work from an outstanding literary presence.

Author: Greg Belter
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 059523691X
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
With much difficulty involving dreams it's more often helpful to find someone who's an experienced interpreter. Perhaps the best you'll ever find will be through this fantastic read. First hand knowledge of the spiritual realm, and how it really is to benefit us on our way through the life of many riches, indeed is truly a wonderful treasure. Viewing the direction inside of a dream to where the bits of information will lead us, can also be the clues God has given for solving the mysteries within our most valued life. If the dreamer does block out each message given, accidentally or not, then it may develop up in time, once again, until the lesson has finally been learned and adhered to at last. When we leave our body at night the hand of God's upon us, whether it's through astral traveling or from his wondrous uplifting ways. Above they're quite aware of what we're doing, and what we need to do for solving what seems like an exciting quiz in dreaming. Everything is for a reason as long as it's good, and keep in mind, the dreamer's job will be to do the handy work. Good luck!

Through Fire 6 Thlaxaca: Blood of the Blood Sun
Author: Richard Hernaman Allen
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1326144146
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 591
Book Description
Though the killings by the "Nameless Ones" cease, a rebellion in eastern Kardakan is put down brutally. Rakvir Stagarnik is sent on a mission to preserve peace, but the Thlaxacan ruler who resisted war is murdered and his successor leads his people against all the "Otherworlders". Rakvir breaks their northern army and, by walking through fire, persuades the Thlaxacan temple-priests that the solar eclipse did not mean "Angry Thlac". He demands that the priests dissuade their followers in Kardakan from further violence. Unfortunately in a final battle, death awaits one who least deserves it. Peace returns to an exhausted world and Rakvir and his family pick up the threads of their lives. The sixth and final volume in the epic "Through Fire" "Thlaxaca: Blood of the Blood Sun", is set in a distant planet, not too dissimilar from our own. Richard Hernaman Allen, a former Commissioner of HM Customs & Excise, wrote "Through Fire" over a period of thirty years.
