Talk:Main Page - Wikisource The feedback that I have received when I did this was highly positive (see comments here, on my talk page, and on the archive of the scriptorium). I decided to make a short list of the 10 projects that have the higher number of articles, in order to facilitate searches (the previous main page was a mess), to improve aesthetics, and to foster addition of new material to wikisource (from your reaction, I suppose the third goal is attained). However, if you believe that some other criterion than the number of articles should be taken into account in order to rank projects, I suggest that you propose some objective criterion, and that we wait for more people to express their point of view. wikisource.org /wiki/Talk:Main_Page

Talk To Her Talk to Her, the latest masterpiece by Spanish auteur Pedro Almodovar who we have to blame for Penelope Cruz, was a film that I had initially been averse to seeing. Talk to Her is a film that will become legendary and be viewed regularly from here on after, not fade away into distant memory like a Police Academy sequel. Talk to Her is a film about coincidences that become destiny. www.ez-entertainment.net /zoneseye/talktoherview.htm   (949 words)

Speakers - Peter J. Garcia This talk examines recent Chicano balladry and aesthetics, including poetic elements such as metaphor; tragic and comedic elements; musical elements such as style, ensemble, and vocal harmony; and cultural performance, including language, fashion, and physical appearance. This talk examines the roles of female Mexican singers from the early 20th century including, from Arizona, Luisa Espinel and her niece Linda Ronstadt; from Texas, Lydia Mendoza through the late slain Tejano superstar Selena Quintanilla; and from New Mexico, Gloria Pohl and her four daughters El Grupo Sparx. Garcia examines recent post-Chicano music in the Southwest, including the impact of Linda Ronstadt’s mariachi recordings, Canciones de Mi Padre ; the late Tejana singer Selena Quintanilla’s mariachi performances and crossover; and El Grupo Sparx, New Mexico’s internationally successful female quartet and their mariachi recordings. www.azhumanities.org /speakers2-8.html   (1612 words)

Presentation Topic: Susan Sontag, “Notes on ‘Camp,’” in Camp: Queer Aesthetics and the performing subject: A Reader, ed. Fabio Cleto (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1999), 53-65. She points out that the notion of Camp has hardly even broken into print Because of this, she reasons, “to talk about Camp is therefore to betray it” (53). If you could talk about a sensibility in such a way, Sontag reasons, it would no longer be a sensibility at all but an idea (54). Camp is taking something serious or natural and exaggerating it until it becomes frivolous. www.angelfire.com /ca/Disgruntled/sontag.html   (1612 words)

Good Books, Bad Books - Not-So-Good Books: Page 1 But as to the principles of aesthetics, you'll have to settle for some of the mottos by art historians and philosophers. The earlier sources here, late medieval and later, have some interesting remarks to make on technique, but the later ones talk almost exclusively in terms of 'feeling' and social significance. If you want to see what great painters say on the principles of aesthetics, you'll be as disappointed as I was. www.good-books-bad-books.com /index3.html   (1612 words)

The Spinning Image: TSI: The structure of Bad Education is at least as complicated as that of Talk to Her... As in Talk to Her in Bad Education there is a film within a film, but in this case it lasts half an hour, which is even more risky. Or atmospheres, because in Bad Education there are a lot of films together, and very different aesthetics coexist within the same story. www.thespinningimage.co.uk /article/displayarticle.asp?articleid=43   (3389 words)

Fay, Introduction - Romantic Passions - Romantic Circles Praxis Series, Romantic Circles Rather than talk about love, poets such as Wordsworth and Keats tended to talk about why love is no longer possible, while Byron applied love to the tragic mode to show the cosmic sadness of his byronic heroes, and Coleridge and Shelley explored love as a better path to the self and the divine. The paradox of why there is no love in Romantic period poetry has always been explained by the great poets' obsession with the heady mix of politics and aesthetics that produced poems about the French Revolution and the sublime. Romantic poets, at least those of the canon, do not make love to women in their passionate pleas, but instead make love to nature and natural objects. www.rc.umd.edu /praxis/passions/fay/intro.html   (1001 words)

UB Reporter: Tort reform expert to speak at Law School Riles' talk will provide those with an interest in law, economics and finance in Asia an opportunity to hear from a scholar who studies that topic in great length, Mather adds. The other scholar, Annelise Riles, director of the Clarke Program in East Asian Law and Culture at Cornell Law School, will speak on "The Aesthetics of Rule-of-Law Reform: The Case of Japanese Financial Regulation" at 4 p.m. She will argue that attention to legal aesthetics explains both the commitments these reforms generate, as well as well as the surprising shield they provide from the forces of globalization, even as they are carried out in the name of market globalization itself. www.buffalo.edu /reporter/vol36/vol36n7/articles/BaldyLectures.html?print=1   (551 words)

Gamble House - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Built as a retirement residence, the three-story Gamble House is a residential ark commonly described as America's Arts and Crafts masterpiece, whose style shows influence from traditional Japanese aesthetics and a certain California spaciousness born of cheap land and a permissive climate. The Greenes had to talk David Gamble into it. The Gamble House (constructed 1908- 1909) is a National Historic Landmark and tourist attraction in Pasadena, California designed by the architect brothers Greene and Greene, Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene, for David B. Gamble of the Procter and Gamble company. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Gamble_House   (473 words)

The Melanie Klein Trust Whenever, in bad times, there was talk about the Kleinians splitting from the Society her position was that it was the British Society that gave her a home and a place to teach and that she would not do anything that would damage the Society. The clinical encounter is at the heart of Hanna Segal’s work, and informs her many psychoanalytical contributions to fields as diverse as aesthetics, literature, the psychology of war and the nature of psychosis. Disputes within the Society culminated in a series of lecture/discussions between 1942 and 1944, in which the followers of Klein had to justify their new theories as true to psychoanalysis, and thus their right to remain in the Society. www.melanie-klein-trust.org.uk /segalinterview2001.htm   (473 words)

Paul Kelly Articles To talk of sport only in terms of melody, dance, enchantment or as an exercise in aesthetics is to fall short of the story. A footballer hesitates for a split second in his run at the ball and thirty thousand people suspect his character. The reason why more people go to the football than to the ballet is to see somebody win and somebody lose. www.paulkelly.com.au /articles/rs-9410.html   (944 words)

SA?o Paulo travel guide - Sao Paulo, Brazil Residents of the city, Paulistanos, talk smugly of their work ethic, supposedly superior to that which dominates the rest of Brazil, and speak contemptuously of the idleness of cariocas (in reply, cariocas joke sourly that Paulistanos are simply incapable of enjoying anything, sex in particular). As industry, trade and population developed at such a terrific pace, buildings were erected with little time to consider their aesthetics; in any case, they often became cramped as soon as they were built, or had to be demolished to make way for a new avenue. By 1950 it had reached 2.2 million and SA?o Paulo had clearly established its dominant role in Brazil's urbanization: today the city's population stands at around ten million, rising to at least sixteen million when the sprawling metropolitan area is included. www.nbportal.com /brazil/sao-paulo/pod_dep-65311.html   (944 words)

Roman Ingarden Ingarden's best-known works, indeed the only ones known to most of his readers in the English-speaking world, are his works on aesthetics, especially literature—works that offer unrivalledly sophisticated and subtle accounts both of the ontological status of works of art of various kinds, and of our means of cognizing them. Nor, however, can one establish that the real world depends on consciousness, since any attempted talk about the world in-itself and its nature would be meaningless -- thus from that standpoint, the controversy over the existence of the world would have to remain undecided. Roman Ingarden (1893 -- 1970) was a Polish phenomenologist, ontologist and aesthetician. www.science.uva.nl /~seop/archives/win2003/entries/ingarden   (4822 words)

[WWI-L:49199] New book on WW I German films of the Weimar era Her introduction enumerates the many limitations she imposes upon her study: no war literature except when dealing explicitly with a film adaptation, only German or Austrian films, almost no film aesthetics, and although she does not specifically say so, Kester also chooses not to employ much cultural or sociological theory to speak of. As a result, she cannot talk at any length about the film adaptation of Remarque's _Im Westen nichts Neues_ (_All Quiet on the Western Front_, 1930), although, taken together, they were the most significant portrayal of war to reach German audiences during the Weimar era. Without delving into film theory, Kester's treatment of the important differences between documentary and feature films is constrained to questions of historical accuracy. www.ku.edu /carrie/archives/wwi-l/2004/02/msg00114.html   (4822 words)

The Bohemian Cafe Society He would break off the lyrical flow of his talk on politics or aesthetics and turn to the lady who had been watching him from the next table. If he walked into the Tabourey, a silent cafe by the entrance to the Jardin du Luxembourg, where the waiters moved around like solemn ghosts in their black vests, he would soon have as many people round his table as some hesitant author warming up his friends before the first night of his latest play. Although some were merely incompetent or sick, others were victims of this boulevard society - orthodoxy of taste and the treatment of their work as a commodity made life tough for experimental artists, while many had been lured into hopeless ambitious by the haze of Romanticism. www.bohemiabooks.com.au /eblinks/spirboho/paris1830/cafes.htm   (2174 words)

The Other End of Print: David Carson, Graphic Design, and the Aesthetics of Media This talk today seeks to illustrate some of those assertions by way of the graphic design presented in a number of contemporary magazines, and in particular the work of a designer named David Carson. In the magazine’s first issue, for example, a photograph of Evan Dando from the Lemonheads was cropped incorrectly, resulting in a his black boot obscuring a large block of text. The body of graphic design work associated with Carson, Ray Gun, Emigre, Cranbrook and CalArts therefore bears close scrutiny by students of the new medias, for it dramatizes that aspect of the relationship between print and electronic textualities driven by the need of the former to assimilate and contain the ruptures of the latter. web.mit.edu /comm-forum/papers/kirsch.html   (2174 words)

Talk Yuh Talk: Interviews with Anglophone Caribbean Poets He explores detachment with Mervyn Morris, intellectual rigor with David Dabydeen, the struggles of obscurity with Cyril Dabydeen, the poetics of surprise and the erotic with Grace Nichols, the reggae escape motif with Lillian Allen, ambivalence about Africa with James Berry, and more, talking with eighteen poets in all. By allowing them to speak in their own voices and by directing the questions along the lines of creative process and aesthetics, Dawes makes a compelling case for the strength of Caribbean poetry while offering a lively source of inspiration and information for practicing poets as well as critics. The poets discuss their techniques, their situations as poets, and the challenges they face in the profession and in their craft. www.upress.virginia.edu /books/dawes.html   (2174 words)

Korean Culture Fundamental to this process is the fact that Korean musical aesthetics of a 5-note scale, no harmony, tertiary rhythm, and a rough/raspy tone color remained consistent over time as essential ingredients in music. Young artistsÂ’ willingness to experiment with new forms exhibits South KoreaÂ’s openness to global influence, yet adjustments to a more Korean style (as in rap lyrics that talk about exam pressures instead of gang fights) displays a desire to claim the music as their own. Music could be heard everywhere, from the private courtyard to the marketplace. www.indiana.edu /~ealc100/4_24b.html   (2174 words)

Rotten Tomatoes Forums That's actually one of my favorites of his, next to 47 Ronin (talk about a movie in desparate need of some tender loving restorative care). So while I felt that I was tuned into his aesthetics, seeing his films in color seemed to make the starkness of his composition, particularly in the rectilinear geometry and diagonals, a bit obscured by his color composition. The final shot of the child is particularly shattering because up until then, he's like a ghost himself, mostly just being carried around and a background. www.rottentomatoes.com /vine/archive/index.php/t-257500   (2174 words)

Amazon.com: Speed of Sound: Music: Coldplay Had it been included on X&Y, it could have been a standout moment alongside Talk. But Things I Don't Understand absolutely toasts almost half of what's already on X&Y. The comparison below to New Order's single Regret is on the right track as far as the rhythm and aesthetics go. Its sound is confident and assured, sounding like it came from the gut rather than the head. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000983WK8?v=glance   (1121 words)
