Uluru (Ayers Rock) is an extraordinary phenomenon--a distinctive and unique place of Nature, constructed from different layers of nature. The infrastructure layer is the Rock itself as imagined independently of cultural gaze, a place in and of itself created over timeless age through geological movement and weathering to what it is today (First-layered Nature). It is a 'natural' place so noticeable that one's imagination is assaulted with images, resulting in multiple natural constructions influenced by cultural and societal background of diverse reactions to the 'naturalness' (Second-layered Nature). From the Indigenous Australian perspective for thousands of years up to contact with non-Aboriginal Australians, the Rock was a lived space and not just as a representational space, whereas non-Aboriginal Australians with their eye for capitalist advancement regard the Rock in terms of nature as commodity. The result of this capitalist 'advancement', has seen the non-Aboriginal Australian nature as commodity of the Rock translate it into a promoted place and space of natural tourist landscape (Third-layered Nature).
From Uluru's interlocking layers and the complexity of multicultural perceptions of the natures there, it is a focus of a contested place and space of worthwhile study. This is because the spatiality of its natures evolving over time mirrors the changing socio-cultural drivers of the wider society and beyond--a colonial/postcolonial melting pot of change, real and imagined, within a remote location far removed from the everyday, showing that even remote nature cannot evade the socio-cultural world's life processes, creating a cultural chameleon of nature.

Traded for One Hundred Acres is a real love story based on events that happened in the early 1800s.
Savannah Bowen, a beautiful sixteen-year-old, learns that her father has traded her hand in marriage to thirty-year-old Jonah Bell, for one hundred acres of land.
She is to travel with Jonah from Georgia to Arkansas by covered wagon, tending his three-week-old infant daughter, whose mother Clara, has just passed away in childbirth.
What Jonah doesn't know is that Savannah has always watched him from afar and dreamed of what it would be like to be in Clara's place.
From the very beginning, Jonah makes it clear to Savannah that she could never own his heart, because it would always belong to Clara.
Savannah's faith in God is strong, but Jonah has lost all faith with the death of his beloved wife.
In this life-affirming story, Savannah's loving heart and faith will be tested sorely. But sometimes God works in mysterious ways to bring people back to Him.

Автор: Drew Ayers Название: Spectacular Posthumanism: The Digital Vernacular of Visual Effects ISBN: 1501340085 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781501340086 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 126720.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Spectacular Posthumanism examines the ways in which VFX imagery fantasizes about digital disembodiment while simultaneously reasserting the importance of the lived body. Analyzing a wide range of case studies—including the films of David Cronenberg and Stanley Kubrick, image technologies such as performance capture and crowd simulation, Game of Thrones , Terminator: Genisys , Planet Earth , and 300 —Ayers builds on Miriam Hansen’s concept of “vernacular modernism” to argue that the “vernacular posthumanism” of these media objects has a phenomenological impact on viewers. As classical Hollywood cinema initiated viewers into the experience of modernism, so too does the VFX image initiate viewers into digital, posthuman modes of thinking and being. Ayers’s innovative close-reading of popular, mass-market media objects reveals the complex ways that these popular media struggle to make sense of humanity’s place within the contemporary world. Spectacular Posthumanism argues that special and visual effects images produce a digital, posthuman vernacular, one which generates competing fantasies about the utopian and dystopian potential of a nonhuman future. As humanity grapples with such heady issues as catastrophic climate change, threats of anonymous cyber warfare, an increasing reliance on autonomous computing systems, genetic manipulation of both humans and nonhumans, and the promise of technologically enhanced bodies, the anxieties related to these issues register in popular culture. Through the process of compositing humans and nonhumans into a seemingly seamless whole, digital images visualize a utopian fantasy in which flesh and information might easily coexist and cohabitate with each other. These images, however, also exhibit the dystopic anxieties that develop around this fantasy. Relevant to our contemporary moment, Spectacular Posthumanism both diagnoses and offers a critique of this fantasy, arguing that this posthuman imagination overlooks the importance of embodiment and lived experience.

Описание: Readings of the avant-garde have frequently sought to identify utopian moments coded in its works and activities as optimistic signs of a possible future social life or as the attempt to preserve hope against the closure of an emergent dystopian present.
