What distinguishes modern tragedy from other forms of drama? How
does it relate to contemporary political and social conditions? To
what ends have artists employed the tragic form in different
locations during the 20th century? Partly motivated by the urgency
of our current situation in an age of ecocidal crisis, Modern
Tragedy encompasses a variety of drama from throughout the 20th
century. James Moran begins this book with John Millington Synge's
Riders to the Sea (1904), which shows how environmental awareness
might be expressed through tragic drama. Moran also looks at
Brecht's reworking of Synge's drama in the 1937 play Senora
Carrar's Rifles, and situates Brecht's script in the light of the
theatre practitioner's broader ideas about tragedy. Brecht's tragic
thinking - informed by Hegel and Marx - is contrasted with the
Schopenhauerian approach of Samuel Beckett. The volume goes on to
examine theatre makers whose ideas were partly motivated by
applying an understanding of the tragic narrative of Synge's Riders
to the Sea to postcolonial contexts. Looking at Derek Walcott's The
Sea at Dauphin (1954), and J.P. Clark's The Goat (1961), Modern
Tragedy explores how tragedy, a form that is often associated with
regressive assumptions about hegemony, might be rethought, and how
aspects of the tragic may coincide with the experiences and
concerns of authors and audiences of colour.

Two-time Peabody Award-winning writer and producer Ira Rosen
reveals the intimate, untold stories of his decades at America's
most iconic news show. It's a 60 Minutesstory on 60 Minutes itself.
When producer Ira Rosen walked into the 60 Minutes offices in June
1980, he knew he was about to enter television history. His career
catapulted him to the heights of TV journalism, breaking some of
the most important stories in TV news. But behind the scenes was a
war room of clashing producers, anchors, and the most formidable 60
Minutes figure: legendary correspondent Mike Wallace. Based on
decades of access and experience, Ira Rosen takes readers behind
closed doors to offer an incisive look at the show that invented TV
investigative journalism. With surprising humor, charm, and an eye
for colorful detail, Rosen delivers an authoritative account of the
unforgettable personalities that battled for prestige, credit, and
the desire to scoop everyone else in the game. As one of Mike
Wallace's top producers, Rosen reveals the interview secrets that
made Wallace's work legendary, and the flaring temper that made him
infamous. Later, as senior producer of ABC News Primetime Live and
20/20, Rosen exposes the competitive environment among famous
colleagues like Diane Sawyer and Barbara Walters, and the power
plays between correspondents Chris Wallace, Anderson Cooper, and
Chris Cuomo. A master class in how TV news is made, Rosen shows
readers how 60 Minutes puts together a story when sources are
explosive, unreliable, and even dangerous. From unearthing shocking
revelations from inside the Trump White House, to an outrageous
proposition from Ghislaine Maxwell, to interviewing gangsters Joe
Bonanno and John Gotti, Jr., Ira Rosen was behind the scenes of
some of 60 Minutes' most sensational stories. Highly entertaining,
dishy, and unforgettable, Ticking Clock is a never-before-told
account of the most successful news show in American history.
Alejandro Jodorowsky is a theatre director, writer of graphic
novels and comics, novelist, poet, and an expert in the Tarot. He
is also an auteur filmmaker who garnered attention with his
breakthrough film El Topo in 1970. He has been called a "cult"
filmmaker, whose films are surreal, hallucinatory, and provocative.
The Transformative Cinema of Alejandro Jodorowsky explores the ways
in which Jodorowsky's films are transformative in a psychologically
therapeutic way. It also examines his signature style, which
includes the symbolic meaning of various colors in which he clothes
his actors, the use of his own family members in the films, and his
casting of himself in leading roles. This total involvement of
himself and his family in his auteur films led to his
psycho-therapeutic theories and practices: metagenealogy and
psychomagic. This book is the only the second book in the English
language in print that deals with all of Jodorowsky's films,
beginning with his earliest mime film in 1957 and ending with his
2019 film on psychomagic. It also connects his work as a writer and
therapist to his films, which themselves attempt to obliterate the
line between fantasy and reality.
Adopting an innovative and theoretical approach, Greek Tragedy and
the Digital is an original study of the encounter between Greek
tragedy and digital media in contemporary performance. It
challenges Greek tragedy conventions through the contemporary
arsenal of sound masks, avatars, live code poetry, new media art
and digital cognitive experimentations. These technological
innovations in performances of Greek tragedy shed new light on
contemporary transformations and adaptations of classical myths,
while raising emerging questions about how augmented reality works
within interactive and immersive environments. Drawing on
cutting-edge productions and theoretical debates on performance and
the digital, this collection considers issues including
performativity, liveness, immersion, intermediality, aesthetics,
technological fragmentation, conventions of the chorus, theatre as
hypermedia and reception theory in relation to Greek tragedy. Case
studies include Kzryztof Warlikowski, Jan Fabre, Romeo Castellucci,
Katie Mitchell, Georges Lavaudant, The Wooster Group, Labex
Arts-H2H, Akram Khan, Urland & Crew, Medea Electronique, Robert
Wilson, Klaus Obermaier, Guy Cassiers, Luca di Fusco, Ivo Van Hove,
Avra Sidiropoulou and Jay Scheib. This is an incisive,
interdisciplinary study that serves as a practice model for
conceptualizing the ways in which Greek tragedy encounters digital
culture in contemporary performance.
"The definitive guide for scholars and fans alike to all things
Masterpiece and Mystery!" Library Journal, Starred Review On a
wintry night in 1971, Masterpiece Theatre debuted on PBS. Fifty
years later, America's appetite for British drama has never been
bigger. The classic television program has brought its fans
protagonists such as The Dowager Countess and Ross Poldark and
series that include Downton Abbey and Prime Suspect. In
Masterpiece: America's 50-Year-Old Love Affair with British
Television Drama, Nancy West provides a fascinating history of the
acclaimed program. West combines excerpts from original interviews,
thoughtful commentary, and lush photography to deliver a deep
exploration of the television drama. Vibrant stories and anecdotes
about Masterpiece's most colorful shows are peppered throughout,
such as why Benedict Cumberbatch hates Downton Abbey and how
screenwriter Daisy Goodwin created a teenage portrait of Queen
Victoria after fighting with her daughter about homework. Featuring
an array of photos from Masterpiece's best-loved dramas, this book
offers a penetrating look into the program's influence on
television, publishing, fashion, and its millions of fans.
Hollywood Independent dissects the Mirisch Company, one of the most
successful employers of the package-unit system of film production,
producing classic films like The Apartment (1960), West Side Story
(1961), The Great Escape (1963) and The Thomas Crown Affair (1968)
as irresistible talent packages. Whilst they helped make the names
of a new generation of stars including Steve McQueen and Shirley
MacLaine, as well as banking on the reputations of established
auteurs like Billy Wilder, they were also pioneers in dealing with
controversial new themes with films about race (In the Heat of the
Night), gender (Some Like it Hot) and sexuality (The Children's
Hour), devising new ways of working with film franchises (The
Magnificent Seven, The Pink Panther and In the Heat of the Night
spun off 7 Mirisch sequels between them) and cinematic cycles,
investing in adaptations of bestsellers and Broadway hits,
exploiting frozen funds abroad and exploring so-called runaway
productions. The Mirisch Company bridges the gap between the end of
the studio system by about 1960 and the emergence of a new cinema
in the mid-1970s, dominated by the Movie Brats.
A remarkable exploration of Wonder Woman's creation, mysterious
identity, and evolution-and her extraordinary impact on her legions
of fans. For generations, Wonder Woman has been a symbol of
equality and female empowerment, her complex saga deeply rooted
within the feminist movement. A staple of the comic book industry,
she is arguably the best-known female superhero of all time. In
Wonder Woman: Warrior, Disruptor, Feminist Icon, Regina Luttrell
details this legendary superhero's origins, history, and evolution,
from an ambassador of peace and love to the fiercest warrior in the
DC Universe. Luttrell reveals how Wonder Woman's journeys are a
reflection of each wave within the feminist movement and how her
impact on culture and society continues to be felt today. Wonder
Woman has become the epitome of technological sophistication,
globalization, and modern-day feminism. She is truly a warrior, a
disrupter, and a feminist icon. Luttrell's fascinating history
includes the perspectives of famed feminist Gloria Steinem in her
essay "Be the Wonder Woman You Can Be," as well as personal
interviews with creator William Moulton Marson's surviving family
members. Featuring a captivating examination of the oft-overlooked
contributions of Marston's life partners and inspirations Elizabeth
Holloway Marston and Olive Byrne, Wonder Woman is an incredible,
in-depth exploration of this iconic feminist superhero.
