The Women Who Knew Too Much Hitchcock and Feminist Theory


Free Download The Women Who Knew Too Much: Hitchcock and Feminist Theory By Tania Modleski
2015 | 220 Pages | ISBN: 1138920320 | PDF | 3 MB
Originally published in 1988, The Women Who Knew Too Much remains a classic work in film theory and feminist criticism. The book consists of a theoretical introduction and analyses of seven important films by Alfred Hitchcock, each of which provides a basis for an analysis of the female spectator as well as of the male spectator. Modleski considers the emotional and psychic investments of men and women in female characters whose stories often undermine the mastery of the cinematic "master of suspense." The third edition features an interview with the author by David Greven, in which he and Modleski reflect on how feminist and queer approaches to Hitchcock studies may be brought into dialogue. A teaching guide and discussion questions by Ned Schantz help instructors and students to delve into this seminal work of feminist film theory.

We are living amid a mental health epidemic. Clinical depression has devastated the lives of countless people, sending families into crisis and weakening the ties that hold communities together. It’s a disorder that doesn’t discriminate. At the outset it can be confused with grief and ordinary sadness; at its extreme it can end in tragedy. Within its labyrinth, the corridors and dead ends are many – unabating hopelessness, withdrawal from loved ones, fatigue of body and mind, panic attacks and addiction – and the ladder out difficult to find. But there is hope.

The Accidental Universe The World You Thought You Knew


Free Download The Accidental Universe: The World You Thought You Knew by Alan Lightman, Bronson Pinchot, Blackstone Audio, Inc.
English | 2017 | ISBN: B00HULB5MO | M4b@64 kbps | 3h 51m + EPUB | 106 Mb
From the acclaimed author of Einstein’s Dreams and Mr. g comes a meditation on the unexpected ways in which recent scientific findings have shaped our understanding of ourselves and our place in the cosmos.
With all the passion, curiosity, and precise yet lyrical prose that have marked his previous books, Alan Lightman here explores the emotional and philosophical questions raised by discoveries in science, focusing most intently on the human condition and the needs of humankind. He looks at the difficult dialogue between science and religion, the conflict between our human desire for permanence and the impermanence of nature, the possibility that our universe is simply an accident, the manner in which modern technology has separated us from direct experience of the world, and our resistance to the view that our bodies and minds can be explained by scientific logic and laws. And behind all of these considerations is the suggestion – at once haunting and exhilarating – that what we see and understand of the world is only a tiny piece of the extraordinary, perhaps unfathomable whole.
