Rockstar Games and American History Wright Esther

For two decades, Rockstar Games have been making games that interrogate and represent the idea of America, past and present. Commercially successful, fan-beloved, and a frequent source of media attention, Rockstar's franchises are positioned as not only game-changing, ground-breaking interventions in the games industry, but also as critical, cultural histories on America and its excesses.But what does Rockstar's version of American history look like, and how is it communicated through critically acclaimed titles like Red Dead Redemption (2010) and L.A. Noire (2011)? By combining analysis of Rockstar's games and a range of official communications and promotional materials, this book offers critical discussion of Rockstar as a company, their video games, and ultimately, their attempts at creating new narratives about U.S. history and culture.

From Idols to Icons: The Emergence of Christian Devotional Images in Late Antiquityvolume 12 Jensen Robin M.

Even the briefest glance at an art museum's holdings or an introductory history textbook demonstrates the profound influence of Christian images and art. From Idols to Icons tells the fascinating history of the dramatic shift in Christian attitudes toward sacred images from the third through the early seventh century. From attacks on the cult images of polytheism to the emergence of Christian narrative iconography to the appearance of portrait-type representations of holy figures, this book examines the primary theological critiques and defenses of holy images in light of the surviving material evidence for early Christian visual art. Against the previous assumption that fourth- and fifth-century Christians simply forgot or ignored their predecessors' censure and reverted to more alluring pagan practices, Robin M. Jensen contends that each stage of this profound change was

Art Intervention in the City

This book focuses on the phenomenon of art intervention--an expression of local initiatives by artists, collectives, and art centers wishing to influence the design of the space or make a change in its lifestyle. It pertains not only to acts of protest, but also to the creation of a new civil and political situation in which artists acknowledge their ability to constitute foci of power.These are reflected in acts such as squatting in abandoned buildings, restoring and redistributing them according to principles of social justice; mapping the city based on alternative parameters, such as revealing venues of collective memory or exposing the city's backyard; creating outdoor urban art galleries; and creating temporary architecture and alternative solutions in order to deal with the challenges we face in times of epidemic and environmental crisis.The art

Answering the Call

Pan Kaplan má stále třídu rád

Jedna z nejoblíbenějších humoristických knih posledního století. Jiskřivý humor, spočívající v jazyce, jeho záludnostech a slovních hříčkách. Autor svou již legendární knihu po obrovském úspěchu vícekrát přepracoval a doplnil o další epizody a postavy, aniž narušil neopakovatelnou atmosféru díla, které baví již několik čtenářských generací. Stejně kreativně pak k dílu přistoupil překladatel Antonín Přidal a mnohé z jeho formulací navždy vešly do slovníku českých čtenářů.Třída profesora Parkhilla je vskutku pestrá, co student, to osobnost, osud, národnost a ojedinělý přístup ke zvládání zákeřností jazyka, který je nutné si osvojit, aby se dalo v nových podmínkách žít co nejlépe. Profesor Parkhill totiž na newyorské Večerní přípravné škole pro dospělé vyučuje angličtinu přistěhovalce z (nejen, ale převážně) východní Evropy. Po skvělém překladu Pavla Eisnera se k nám vrátil v geniálním překladu Antonína Přidala (byť se v takovém případě spíš než o překladu dá mluvit o spoluautorství) a myšlenkové a jazykové kotrmelce pana Kaplana se tak můžou dostávat do slovníku dalších a dalších generací. Studenti VPŠD možná přicházejí a odcházejí, ale Hyman Kaplan zůstává. Protože pan Kaplan nejen, že má svou třídu rád. Pan Kaplan má STÁLE třídu rád. A je to dobře, protože jen od něj a skrz něj se dozvíme, co je „šivot v klopále“.

Teaching Challenged and Challenging Topics in Diverse and Inclusive Literature

This groundbreaking text provides practical, contextualized methods for teaching and discussing topics that are considered "taboo" in the classroom in ways that support students' lived experiences. In times when teachers are scapegoated for adopting culturally sustaining teaching practices and are pressured to "whitewash" the curriculum, it becomes more challenging to create an environment where students and teachers can have conversations about complex, uncomfortable topics in the classroom. With contributions from scholars and K-12 teachers who have used young adult literature to engage with their students, chapters confront this issue and focus on themes such as multilingualism, culturally responsive teaching, dis/ability, racism, linguicism, and gender identity. Using approaches grounded in socioemotional learning, trauma-informed practices, and historical and racial literacy,

Conformal Methods in General Relativity Kroon Juan A. Valiente

This book offers a systematic exposition of conformal methods and how they can be used to study the global properties of solutions to the equations of Einstein's theory of gravity. It shows that combining these ideas with differential geometry can elucidate the existence and stability of the basic solutions of the theory. Introducing the differential geometric, spinorial and PDE background required to gain a deep understanding of conformal methods, this text provides an accessible account of key results in mathematical relativity over the last thirty years, including the stability of de Sitter and Minkowski spacetimes. For graduate students and researchers, this self-contained account includes useful visual models to help the reader grasp abstract concepts and a list of further reading, making this an ideal reference companion on the topic. This title, first published in 2016, has been

Opening Repertoire: Queens Gambit Declined - Tarrasch Lakdawala Cyrus

The Tarrasch Variation of the Queen's Gambit Declined is a fierce counter-attacking line arising after 1 d4 d5 2 c4 e6 3 Nc3 c5. In this variation Black gains free and easy piece play but in return usually has to accept the structural weakness of an Isolated Queen's Pawn (IQP). In the early development of chess theory this line was somewhat frowned upon due to the vulnerability of the IQP. However, Siegbert Tarrasch, after whom the opening is named, famously declared that, "he who fears an Isolated Queen's Pawn should give up chess".The Tarrasch has had many powerful adherents over the years including the legendary Garry Kasparov who made much use of it in the early part of his career. In this book Cyrus Lakdawala guides the reader through the complexities of the Tarrasch and carves out a repertoire for Black, based on a modern treatment popularised by the Russian grandmaster Daniil

Meeting Jesus at the Table: A Lenten Study Campbell Cynthia M.

The Gospels are full of stories of Jesus sharing meals with disciples, friends, even tax collectors and Pharisees. Whether multiplying bread to feed a whole crowd, relaxing with his inner circle, or telling curious elites stories about even greater banquets, Jesus imparts wisdom as he shares the wine and grants forgiveness as he distributes the fish. This eight-chapter resource provides biblical insights along with thought-provoking queries regarding our own time, such as whom should we invite to Sunday dinner and who is left out and left behind in our culture today.Illustrations by artist Kevin Burns complement each chapter and invite further meditation on the Gospel story and its meaning for our lives.Each chapter includes questions for small group discussion or personal reflection. A guide for church leaders offers suggestions for preaching this book as a

Growing up on the Combahee River: An American Story Taylor Charlotte Murray

Charlotte Murray's mother died after giving birth to her out of wedlock in Charlotte's grandparents' home along the Combahee River. She would have turned sixteen that February of 1957. After her death, Charlotte was raised at a cousin's house, on Sugar Hill and Hobonny-one of the most remote and isolated area in Beaufort County, sometimes called "No Man's Land." For Charlotte, life was fun, sad, scary, and challenging. Not only was she essentially orphaned, but she had very few neighbors. With limited resources, Charlotte found joy in the beauty of nature: the river, moss trees, oaks and pine. Despite her challenging circumstances, Charlotte persevered and overcame her early obstacles. Her memoir will inspire and encourage others, showing that by the grace of God, anyone can

The Letters, Writings, and Speeches of Oliver Cromwell: Volume 3: 16 December 1653 to 2 September 1658 Halcomb Joel

This is the first truly scholarly edition of all the recorded writings and recorded speech acts of Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) and consists of more than 1,000 texts. Oliver Cromwell, one of Britain's greatest and most controversial generals, rose from lowly provincial origins to preside over the trial and execution of a king, to undertake the most complete conquest of Ireland and Scotland ever achieved, and to spend the last five years of his life as head of state, as Lord Protector of Britain and Ireland. A passionate speaker who claimed to be called by God to overthrow tyranny in church and state, and a powerful advocate for a very broad religious liberty and equality, his speeches and letters reveal the public and the private man more completely than for almost any other early modern political leader. This new edition not only publishes a number of new items, but also edits a large
