Free Download Jean-François Lyotard: Pedagogies of Affect (SpringerBriefs in Education) By Kirsten Locke
2022 | 74 Pages | ISBN: 3030974898 | PDF | 1 MB
This book gives an introduction to Jean-François Lyotard (1924-1998) as an educational thinker whose philosophical encounters with politics and art offer a radical reconsideration of the aims of education and the nature of pedagogy. The book approaches Jean-François Lyotard’s contributions to educational thought by placing his changing intellectual career within its thematic and pedagogical context. Central chapters deal with Lyotard’s key concepts utilised throughout different phases of his intellectual career, providing new openings and perspectives to an affective form of pedagogy that questions the conditions and perimeters of the educational endeavour as a learning and teaching event. Within these discussions, Lyotard’s ideas about aesthetics and politics receive close attention. The book positions Lyotard’s pedagogical focus within key theoretical concepts traversed in his political and aesthetic writings, exploring his work on the political as an ethical activity, art as resistance, and his later work on childhood and infancy as a state of openness and receptivity.

This volume investigates the frameworks that can be applied to reading Caribbean author Jean Rhys. While Wide Sargasso Sea famously displays overt forms of literary influences, Jean Rhys’s entire oeuvre is so fraught with connections to other texts and textual practices across geographical boundaries that her classification as a cosmopolitan modernist writer is due for reassessment.

One of the most brilliant filmmakers in post-war France and world cinema, Jean-Pierre Melville now enjoys renewed popularity. His "Bob le flambeur" (with its street-wise Montmartre and Pigalle settings, its cool jazz score and its good-humoured tale of gangster clans) not only inspired the New Wave but has attained unassailable cult status. Other iconic gangster films such as "Le Doulos," "Le Samourai" and "Le Cercle rouge" are now hailed as masterpieces by latter-day legends John Woo and Quentin Tarantino. Meanwhile, with "Le Silence de la mer" and "L’Armee des ombres," Melville also contributed two of the greatest films about the Resistance during World War II.

Free Download David Bret, "Jean Harlow: Tarnished Angel"
English | 2009 | ISBN: 1906779341 | EPUB | pages: 246 | 1.2 mb
Showcasing the tumultuous career of one of Hollywood’s most enigmatic and uninhibited stars, this intimate memoir goes behind the silver screen to reveal the truth behind the original Blonde Bombshell. From an unhappy upbringing by an unloving mother and abusive stepfather, to her love for older men and the mistreatment she suffered at their hands, her special relationship to William Powell, to being ripped off by the studios, this careful documentation of Harlow’s rise to stardom documents her progression from vivacious vixen to screwball comedienne. Highlighting Harlow’s bold and carefree attitude in a career dominated by men-she made no secret of the fact that she never wore underwear, and was not afraid to illustrate to journalists that she had bleached her pubic hair to match the hair on her head-this engaging portrayal of the unabashed and iconic starlet is a true revelation of one of Hollywood’s most beloved performers.

Free Download Matthew D. Mendham, "Hypocrisy and the Philosophical Intentions of Rousseau: The Jean-Jacques Problem"
English | ISBN: 0812252837 | 2021 | 296 pages | AZW3 | 5 MB
Why did Rousseau fail-often so ridiculously or grotesquely-to live up to his own principles? In one of the most notorious cases of hypocrisy in intellectual history, this champion of the joys of domestic life immediately rid himself of each of his five children, placing them in an orphans’ home. He advocated profound devotion to republican civic life, and yet he habitually dodged opportunities for political engagement. Finally, despite an elevated ethics of social duty, he had a pattern of turning against his most intimate friends, and ultimately fled humanity and civilization as such.
