Sommario/riassunto |
|
Considers the HBO series Deadwood in the context of the television Western genre and the intersection of capital and violence in American history. By dramatizing the intersection of self-interested capitalism and foundational violence in a mining camp in 1870s South Dakota, the HBO series Deadwood reinvented the television Western. In this volume, Ina Rae Hark examines the groundbreaking series from a variety of angles: its relationship to past iterations of the genre on the small screen; its production context, both within the HBO paradigm and as part of the oeuvre of its creator and showrunner David Milch; and its thematics. Hark's comprehensive analysis also takes into account the series' trademark use of language: both its unrelenting and ferocious obscenity and the brilliant complexity of its dialogue. Hark argues that Deadwood dissolves several traditional binaries of the Western genre. She demonstrates that while the show appears to pit individuality, savagery, lawlessness, social regulation, and civilization against each other, its narrative shows that apparent opposites are often analogues, and these forces can morph into allies very quickly. Indeed, perhaps the show's biggest paradox and most profound revelation is that self- |

interest and communitarianism cannot survive without each other. Hark closely analyzes Al Swearengen (as played by Ian McShane), the character who most embodies this paradox. A brutal cutthroat and purveyor of any vice that can turn him a profit, Swearengen nevertheless becomes the figure who forges connections among the camp's disparate individuals and shepherds their growth into a community. Deadwood is quintessentially, if unflatteringly, American in what it reveals about the dark underpinnings of national success rooted not in some renewed Eden but in a town that is, in the apt words of one of its promotional taglines, "a hell of a place to make your fortune." Fans of the show and scholars of television history will enjoy Hark's analysis of Deadwood. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Biflavonoids comprise a group of the flavonoid family that possess a variety of structures and biological activities of high relevance, such as anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, antioxidant, vasodilator and anticlotting. The chemistry of biflavonoids is very important in many fields of research, especially because these compounds are structurally different bioactive molecules with potential for biomedical applications. This book highlights the structural biflavonoid variability, rearrangements and different stereochemistry through about 470 structures distributed in some species of Angiosperms, Gymnosperms, ferns and mosses. |
