Sommario/riassunto

John Isles's Ark is about the people and events that pass through a life, leaving a void; about finding a presence in that absence and waking up to the realities of the present moment. It is concerned, at its watery heart, with discovery and confrontation, uncovering and witnessing, whether it be the new world, "the world behind every blouse," or the tender mysteries that can only be seen through the eyes of belief: that which "starts the wild grasses trembling."With its deft maneuvers through both a historical and an emotional landscape, Ark speaks to us with a truly conte

Sommario/riassunto

In The Global Village Re-visited: Art, Politics, and Television Talk Shows, Kathleen Dixon explores three case studies from Belgium, Bulgaria, and the United States, and reveals how these cases interanimate to produces a new view of the talk show as a global phenomenon, and as a negotiation among the forces of late capitalism, the unnamed but still palpable audience, and the individual rhetors, artists, and technicians who make the shows.
